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. C. bulletin No. 20, Scries

very comprehensive description of

Odd Fellows Furnish Room.
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:

something should be done and done

11 wouia not be difficult to dis
pose of eiioimh stock to buv such n
site. Then it would require some
thing for feucitig, surveying and
for the pay of a sexton. Hut the
ground could be sold in plots, say
20 feet square for about f 50 a plot,
which would not only recoup the
stockholders, but would pay the
riintiitig expenses of the institution,
such as beautifying and adorning
the grounds, making other needed
improvements and have a comfort
able surplus besides.
Now, I should like to hear from
some of the leadinjr citizens of St.

ideas ami suggestions should be fa
vorably received I would succest
that a meeting be called aud the

be a credit to the city, au houor to
