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.
A good sale means that two people
are benefited the buyer and
the seller.
It is clinging to this idea that has enabled Calcf
Bros, to build up their large business.
We buy very largely in the East in car lots.

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,

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.

S. L. Foss Dead.
Charles Foss of North Fillmore
received word Friday that his
father, S. h. Foss was dead. Mr.
Foss was a G. A. R. having served
three years six months and nine
days in the 92d regiment, Co. II,
New York volunteers. He was
born in New York state and after
the war came west. He was in St.
Johns for some time last year. He
died at his home in Hancock, Wis.,
at the age of 74, and leaves a wife,
two sons, George Foss of Bancroft,
Wis., Charles Foss of St. Johns,
and two daughters, Mrs. Mary

Hold to Water Front.
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.

Still Stuck on Juneau.
Wc are in receipt of another let
ter from our friend, J. C. 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.
