Everybody Knows that money can be saved to the one who buys in large quantities. The successful merchant succeeds by be ing alert and quick to take advantage of a bargain and careful to anticipate the wants of his customers in making his selections.

Mr. Norton recently sold his business in Eastern Oregon and if he sees anything that looks particularly good from a business point of view will come to St. Johns, as he likes the looks of the town first rate. Mr. Norton is Ai in every respect and wc would be particularly pleased to see him locate here. Harris & Sou, merchants of Linntou, who were delivering goods Monday met with a serious acci dent which might have proven fatal, i hey were driving up one of the steep places in that city of high altitudes, when one of the horses balked and threw the vehicle over a so-foot bank, where it land ed bottom up and drivers under it. Both were badly bruised but not dangerously injured. It was a close call. George Campbell and wife, who are making a tour along the coast, stopped several days with their brother-in-law, Leroy H.

Editor Review: Knowing that you are ever ready to help along that which is for the public good, I thought I would ,11 fee to say n few things through the Review in regard to the St. Johns public reading room and its needs. The public library of Portland furnishes all the books, pays the librarian all she gets, and wc nrc suposed to furnish the room, pay for fuel and light. Now wc have some 13 periodicals that will cither have to be renewed or dropped, as our time will expire. What is wanted by the reading room at this time is a little help in a financial way. Knowing that the people of bt. Johns ever stand ready to help along that which will help to edu cate and elevate the moral as well as the intellectual standing of her people, wc appeal to you for aid In order to carry on the work. There will be cards distributed by all churches and nt the reading room and by the officers of the association. Now if every one will subscribe just what they can afford to pay monthly, if only 10c, it will help carry 011 the good work. We arc going to try and get our read ing room on the ground iloor at 107 S Jersey street and just as soon ns the rooms arc fitted up we will try mid nrruugc for an evenings entertainment so wc can meet you nil nud talk over the affairs of the library. Hoping every one will try and give what aid they can by word as well ns deed, we remain your servants, Com. free reading room. To the editor of the St. Johns Review: I would consider it a kind ness if you would caution the good citizens of St. Johns that the regu lar meeting of the St. Johns Com mercial club will ic held in its assembly room Wednesday evening, February 19, and urge the import ance of all public spirited men being present. Never in the history of St. Johns has so many weighty problems of public interest con fronted the people and it is essen tial that they should be thoroughly considered and acted upon intelli gently, not by some political fac tion only, but by all the people, irrespective of Mlitics or religion. The club rooms were furnished and are maintained for the purpose of having a place where business men may meet and express llieir ideas without being ridiculed or accused of playing politics. G. J. Perkins, secretary.

He was in St. Johns for some time last year.

George I. Baker, according to the Journal, a councilman of Port land and a very observing one, has made 11 tour of the coast and makes the following statement: "Portland nud Sacramento lire the only cities 011 the Pacific coast which do not own a part of their waterfront privileges," Mr. Baker said this morning. "From talking with men in the shipping business while in the south I find that many of them do not like the idea that Portland's municipality has been neglectful in this wny. They argue that owing to the fact that the wharf rights are controlled by the railroad and other companies their business has been hindered to n large extent." The jxilnt we wish to make is that St. Johns should hold every foot of water front she has mid ac quire every foot that she can. If she does not a half century from now the people will be censuring the management that allowed these holdings to slip through their fingers. Swift's are Coming. The Swifts lire coming if we may believe half of what the big dailies say, with the biggest pack ing plant that has ever been nitr ated in the west. The cartoonist on the front page of Tuesday's Oregouiau represents the transac tion by a big fat steer branded $3,500,000, Swift plant making n jump from Chicago to Portland and old man Portland holding up his hands in adoration of the golden calf, even some of Portland's roses held up their heads to welcome the bovine deity. There are few who will not wel come the big industry for the im petus it will give business in this section, for this one plant will mean others and while Portland interests as indicated by the illustration on page ten of the same paper would cut St. Johns out of the deal en tirely she will do well to recognize the fact that St. Johns will have something to say herself about that. The pay roll of the Swift company here will be from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 during the next year and there will be permanent em ployment given to from 1000 to 1500 men, who with their families will make a population of more than 5000.

Hrooks now in Juneau, Alaska, also a copy of the Daily Alaska Dispatch, 11 very prosjierous looking sheet. Brother Hrooks seems more than ever infatuated with the locality of Juneau and from what he myn this Juneau must be a sort of 11 freak so far as climate is concerned. Ho says he wears the same clothing that he wore here except that he uses n lighter overcoat, nud that he never suffers from cold. There has been but little snow and no wind to sjicak of except on the day he wrote, February 3, when, fol lowing a five-inch snow fall there was considerable wind. The bill of fare he says is varied, sometimes it is Krk nud beans, coruhrend and bacon and if one is particular he may have white bread and butter, eggs, etc., and the hut ter and eggs are not the packed variety eitlier. Midi meals are 35c at t'ue Polar Bear cafe where he dines and his cook cannot be beat he declares. The aborigines about Juiuxiii are much the same as those we have here, but further along the coast they get foxy and have been 110 cuscd of several murders. Brother Brooks says there is no sickness in Juneau and the weather all that could he desired, mundow larks singing, but up in the Tana tin district he says the thermometer went down to 65 nud 70 below nud on extremely cold nights they have to attach 11 piece of gas pipe to the lower part of the thermomuter so that the alcohol may go low enough. He also tells of another feature. A man there who goot by the name of Iceberg Joe goaj out into the channel and etitchus small icebergs as they come from the glacier 40 miles away, tows them to the shore, cuts them up and sells the ice to the people. This beats the Harris Ice company a mile. We are glad to get these letters from Mr. Brooks as they correct some erroneous ideas about Alaska.
