Mr. and Mrs. Charles Arnctt made a short visit in St. Johns, Saturday, called by the illness of Mrs. Aruett's brother, J. U. Aiken They returned home Sunday, Mr. Aiken being much improved. A little flurry of snow about the size of the late millionaire iinanciai flurrv visited St. Johns Monday and gave amusement for a number of the boys and girls of the city.

Lclpcr, field secretary for the National Sabbath associa tion, speaks next Sunday morning at the Evangelical cliurcli. kcv. Lcipcr is a man of much experience iu reform work and should be heard by everybody especially upon this subject. Someone whose htimrcr trot the best of his sense of right or fear of the law broke into Muck & Dome's store and also into the bakery and meat market located in the l-rench block, Monday night. Muck & Dcrric could discover no loss una tin-re was little or none iu the meat market, but iu the bakery a num ber of cukes and pics were missing and one cake was partly eaten. Miss Grace Stuckcr went over to Vuncotivcr last week to attend a function given by a young ladies' club of which she is a member. She reports a most delightful time, all kinds of fun and good things to cat. Her story sounds so good that we arc tempted to send in an application for membership. The young ladies could nave tue time of their lives teaching us to ride their goat 011 a side saddle. E. Vandermcer sold all his hold- hit's in St. Tohns last week. Van says it is not because he docs not like St. Johns, (or he thinks bt. Johns is a great place. He says here is where he got his start and he made it In real estate. He has purchuscd a big farm up the valley and expects to give ins attention more closely to that. We will make this nredictlon. that it will not be a year until Van is back here picking up city property. Rumors are constantly being met affirming that Schwartzchild & Sulzberger will put iu an immense packing plant which will make the Swift plant look like 30 cents. That this big packing company will build is not doubted by any one. mere is another tiling to ie considered and that is there is no place so suitable as the peninsula for establishing this plant near Portland. 1 here will be some thing doing thU summer in and about St. Johns. Department Commander S. F. Blytlie will be in St. Johns today in attendance at the meeting of the G. A. R. We put iu several years slinging type for Mr. Blytlie at Hood Kiver and we arc anticipat ing a good visit from him. He is one of God's noblemen. Honest as the sunshine, kind hearted as a woman and uot afraid of anything or anybody when it comes to a matter of priuciple. May his life be spared many years to enjoy the country he fought three long years to save. Andrew Melgarde made a few hour's visit at the home of W. O. Moe last Tuesday. Mr. Melgarde was formerly iu the banking busi ness in Goldendale, Wash., but is now temporarily located iu Warreti, Minn. He lately returned from a trip to his old home iu Norway aud is now seeking a permanent locu tion, having California as a view point. Mr. Melgarde is much im pressed with Portland aud vicinity and should he be unsuccessful in his quest in California will possibly return here. Let us hope he finds nothing to suit him better than the City of Roses. T. M. Nassa of Cathlamet, Wash., was up last week on a visit to his old friend L. Rasmussen. He was returning from a trip to Hot Lake, Ore., where he has been spending several weeks. He says be has been most successful with bis fish traps at Cathlamet during the past year, having caught and sold about $5000 worth of the finny tribe. He has four traps there and a fine boat of five or six tons burden, besides a launch which he attends his traps with. Mr. Nassa having friends here wished to keep in touch with the place and deposited one of the "dollars of our daddies" to insure Uncle Sam's carrying the Review to him for a year.

Dr. Leon E. Story, formerly of St. Johns, has removed to 001-2 Corbett building, Fifth aud Morri son streets. Dr. Marsh of Woodbtirn is iu the city the guest of his brother-in-law, our genial city recorder. Mr. Esson will likely work his rab bit's foot on the visitor and get him to locate here. The M. W. of A. are going to give a dance in their hnll on Wash ington's Birthday. All who enjoy tripping the light fantastic will most surely have a fine evening entertainment if they attend. W. J.

We regret to sec our townsman going, but glnd to know that he is going into one of the best wheat sections of the west. The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Chris- tiau church met iu business session at the home of Mrs. Shelter on Oswego street last Thursday even ing. There was a good attendance an interesting meeting nud delicious lunch after the meeting provided by the hostess. "The Twin Reproach Which is Worse? The Rattlesnake that Strikes the Boy or the Viper that Stings the Girl." This is the sub ject that will be considered next Sunday evening at the Evangelical church at 7:30. All are cordially invited to attend. C. P. Gates, pastor. The Peninsula shingle mill has been nutting iu a fine lot of new machinery and enlarging their plant. They will begin operations again Monday aud will employ about 75 men. Their output will be 400,000 shingles tcr day. This is one of the best industries on the peninsula. There is steady work at the dry- dock these days. As fast as one vessel is o(T there is another on and sometimes two on at the same time when they arc not too large. Our dry dock has one of the most fav orable locations iu the harbor, sit uated ss it is in the cove made by the bend 111 the river at that point. Mr. aud Mrs. R. M. Akers of lone, Ore., was in the city Tuesday visiting their friend, P. J. Miller. J. C. Mount of Brush, Colo., is also in the city. 1 he people nre coming and coming early. Just wait until spring opens up. 1 here will be things doing iu the old town or vc miss our guess. S. L. Dobie has removed his real estate office from the corner of Jersey and Burlington into the rooms back of the Peninsula bank recently vacated by Lcroy II. Smith 011 Philadelphia street. This' gives Mr. Dome an otticc 011 the iirouud floor iu a very desirable locality. Dobie is all right aud we trust he may meet witli abundant success iu his new location. There is a new furniture house being established iu St. Johns. This will be a surprise to many of our raiders. Victor Carlson, the efficient manager of Calef Bros., is starting out for himself, with oth ers, in the Jower block temporarily, but will erect a substantial brick and concrete building in the near future for their use. Full partic ulars will be given next week. A number of little girls were en tertained at the home of W. O. Moe Saturday from three to five, iu louor of Miss Nettie s ninth birth day.

Kirk, dated January 31, requests us to send his Review to Konau, Mont. He does not give us any information as to what he is doing up iu that coun try, but dollars to doughnuts he is toasting his shins by the lire, When we were in Billings about the middle of October mercury stood at 8 degrees above zero, and by this time it ought to be half way down to China. We are Indebted to Mrs. Thorn- dyke for a beautiful scenic card showing the moonlight on Astoria bay, or whatever the Columbia is called there. It is nretticr than a spanked baby and we would like very much to take a sail on tuose waters. Mrs. Thorndyke admon ishes all of us to be good, that she is foitiL' to iar loose and come un and visit the old stamping grounds once more in the near future. Have you been in Bonhaui & Currier's since they have moved their dry goods and shoe depart ment into the room formerly occu pied by Owens Bros.' pool rooms? This room has been cleared of all the old fittings and fully shelved, the south side being devoted to a fine line of shoes, while the num erous tables iu the center of the large floor and the shelves on the north side of the building are filled with a splendid assortment of all kinds of dry goods and notions.

G. Shearer, ut Medford, Oregon. Miss McNeill iutiniutes that she may stay there twrmnnentlv. but We do UOt tlllllk she will be able to stuy away from St. Johns and her many irtends here will never give up for her to leave them for that backwoods town. So there. Miss McNeill is a most charming, bright young lady and will be greatly missed by her circle of friends here. Knin( nf nnr neonle tliouirht be cause we mentioned last week that Mr. and Mrs. Hd C. Petersen, when they returned from their wedding trip would take up their abode at Highland-Park, Portland, mar ir. ivtiTUMi was t'oiiiL' to sever his business relations with St. Johns but this is a mistake. Mr. Peter Ken had a fine caec there for his bird before he made the capture and he simply lltes nome to roosi at night and comes to his work (after breakfast) in the morning. We are in hopes he will trade his home to some oue of the chronic annexationists iu St. Johns so that hp mav lx able to L'ct rid of one of these "undesirable citizens" and get "Pete" domiciled 111 our midst.
