WE SHOULD ALL WORK For tlie improvement of Phila delphia street from Jersey street to the water front. For n 5oofoot dock or a larger one nt the foot of Philadelphia street. For the enlargement of the city limits of St. Johns. For the elimination of personal animosities and spite work in our municipal life. If we will do this, St. Johns will ndvance by jumps, like a frog walking; but if we do not, our progress will be slow ami unsatis factory, the most desirable and progressive homescekers will pass us up for more congenial, liormoii ius localities. Which shall we have? Which is the more desira ble condition? -- - After years of experimenting an inventor lias discovered a vanish wiiicn, wiicu applied to even very cucap violins gives tlicm the tone 01 a real uremoua. wow if lie can find n varnish for pianolas that will render them soundless it will have gained immortality.

Exactly like cut. Special $5.75 The Republicans in Multnomah county are turning down Statement No. i those who nre in favor of the old rotten ring that held up the legislature the entire session four years ago. Those who are in favor of clean work in the legisla ture are standing by Statement No. i, because it is the only thing that will break up that old rotten ma chine which in those days dominat ed the republican party. We do not like that part of Statement No. i which would make us vote for n Democrat and the way to knock that part of it out is for the Repub licans to stand together and all vote for the same man. If they have not sense enough to do that, they need not blame Statement No. i if the demmies run in a popular man like Ciovernor Chamberlain mid send him to the United States senate, and they will deserve iust what they get if they split up into factious and let the dcmmlcs down them. I We have been told that there are several buildings in which public meetings are being held which have doors oitening in" tint instead of outward. The Odd Fellows hall, lower tloor, is cited as one instance. These tloors might hang thus until the buildings rotted down and no accident Implied, but they may not do so until this article is put before our readers. The fate of the school children in that Ohio building should serve as a warning to all concerned and every building should be made so that a safe, free, quick exit can be made in case of fire. Our fire chief would put another feather in his cup if he could find time some day to quietly inspect every building in the city where public meetings are being held and it the exits are not in proper condition bring the attention of the proper authorities to the matter and have the doois changed. We tlo not want an Iroquois or Collinwood horror in St. Johns and this is the one way to prevent it. Make it impossible. THE QUALITY LINE Here are the Strands! Buffets China Closets Extension Tables Combination Book Cases Dining Chairs, Reception Chairs, Rockers Ladies' Desks, Morris Chairs Turkish Rockers Library Tables Stands Little Marian Catto, the seven- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Catto, met with a most hor rible and painful death Friday. The little one was in a neighbor's yard playing with two of the neighbor's children. They had a piece of stove pipe set up on end, in which they had built a fire and were play ing, keeping house. Little Marian was frying some potatoes and the little ones with her had gone to the front of the house to net sonic water and when they returned Marian was all in flames, running and screaming. It is not known just how she set fire to her clothing, whether it was in taking the pota toes off the stovepipe, or if it was by the stovepipe upsetting against her, or if after it had fallen, she tried to raise it with her apron. In any event, before any one could aid her she was so bauly burned that death ensued several hours afterward. The funeral was held at the Han- list church Sunday evening at o'clock, the sermon being preached by Rev. E. A. Leonard and inter ment was made in Vancouver cem etery Monday. The little girl was seven years, two months and seven days old, but on Friday had a half holiday and was at home. Mr. and Mrs. Catto, have always been very particular not to permit their children to play with fire or match es, or with edged tools, and this is the first accident they have hr.d with their family of little ones, and they have the entire sympathy of all their friends.
