The only way will he for you to leave the city, sell your property for what you can ct and leave. I Some one has offered Mrs. 15. Adams' house 011 Richmond street for sale nt $1600, on terms of $150 down and $10 per month thereafter. Mrs. Adams says she has given no authority to any one to make such offer nnd will not sell the projicrty on nny such terms. We would not ndvise any one to buy properly now. If these calamity howlers get the city to vote St. Johns into Portland you can buy property for half what you can now within a year thereafter. The people of St. Johns have too much good .sound sense to vote nway their position on the map, their prospects for being within a few years the greatest port of entry 1 ne rortianu uatues were ever lastingly thiowing mud at St. Johns about a year ago because of the factional differences that were disturbing the peace here. It is "right back at ye" now, Miss Portland. And by the same token it is n lesson to our jcopIe here in bt. Johns. They will do well to take warning from past experience ami tiie experience of others that it does not pay to do anything for spite. People with more than ordinnry means are coming to St. Johns every day to look the situation over, nnd assert that they arc com ing in the near future to locate here permanently. Some are look ing for business interests, some simply for n place for a pleasant, healthful home in the best home town 111 the state or the Northwest anywhere, nnd they do not hesitate to say they have found it in St. Johns. Now, how docs it look to you when you talk of selling out, to the money grabbers of Portland, your birthright for n mess of prom ises? Rats I the man who would do that is certainly an Kdomitc. O. A.

Any one interested may receive full information by applying to the president of the Oregon Agricultural college, Wil Ham J.

The members of Laurel lodge hnvc again demonstrated the spirit of their order by furnishing a room in the Odd Fellows home in n most substantial manner. They never do things by halves, this bunch, and they knew every member of the lodge would want to have a finger in the pie; so they made an assessment of the membership of 80 cents per. They went to Calef Bros., where, when the benevolent mission was explained, met ha firm and were given just about cost price 011 everything, nnd in one instance, that of the beautiful Morris reclining chair, was sold to them at $1.50 below actual cost. The list of articles purchased for the room, which will be known as Laurel lodge room in the home, is as follows: Velvet rug, 0x12 feet. : 1 : Proposals for Street Work Fourth January Clearance Sale Pinning ourselves badly In need of more space for n larec line of Shoes soon to arrive, we will jjlvc n cash discount of ten per cent on every shoe In our store umil January 15, 1908.
