I he Portland Journal did the
handsome thing by St. Johns last
btinday by giving a neat, accurate
and up-to-date two-column write
tip of the city in its issue of that
date. 1 lie Journal has n large list
of .subscribers in St. Johns and
such treatment is calculated to
largely increase its list. The
people of St. Johns like fair play
and when a paper gives us what is
coming to us instead of knocking
ns the papers of Portland have too
often done, they will appreciate it.
VOTK KQUAI, SUWKAOK.
Klsewhere iu this issue will be
found nu nmwnl from Mrs. Abigail
Scott Duimvny, president of the
state equal suffrage association, to
the voters of the state. Mrs. Dun
iway is a grand woman mid is milk
ing the fight of her life this year
for critinl till (Truce in Oregon.
There are few indeed who would
not be willing to grant the tax
paying woman equal suffrage, for
thnt embodies the principle which
severed the United States from the
mother country. There is not the
slightest reason under the sun to
deny any woman the same right ns
11 mail of like Intelligence mid abil
ity except the lingering sentiments
of semi-barbarism which if not in
words, in tleeds declare woman to
be nu inferior being. No greater
mistake can be made by a voter of
Oregon than to vote against wo-
lit M
man sun rage. 10 vote lor woman
suffrage means n vote for the pur
est, the brightest, the best of hu
manity to have nil equal right with
till men in the making of the laws
which govern us nil. Theicforc
when you come to the ballot box
in June tlo not fail to make an X
between number 31(1 and the word
yes" on your ballot mid help our
mothers, sisters, wives, sweethearts,
to n place of equality by our sitles.
No greater honor can man bestow
upon womankind than to cist a
vote to this end, mid really, 110
greater insult can he offer her than
to vote against the measure, lor it
classes her with idiots and convicts.

vice. Commencing as a fireman on
the Mount Tabor line, he was trans
ferred to the St. Johns line and was
an engineer until the road was
changed to electric. lie was the
first man who took an electric car
from St. Johns to Piedmont. He
was ever ready to oblige his fellow
workers and often iu the morning
at 5 o'clock when every one else
was asleep in St. Johns, Hilly was
up and ready to start 011 duty and
as the special car would go to the
barn, it was then we came iu close
touch with one another, and what
visits we use.l to have! There was
Valentine. I.iebermau, V. A. Smith
and the writer. Just a few that I
think will always remember those
mornings as we had to look out one
for another, but they aie gone just
like our friend and brother, never
to return. We liked Hilly and how
well he was esteemed by the com
munity was attested by the number
at his funeral. Peninsula lodge,
I. O. O. V. were there with a soc
ial car, the railway compiuy fur
nishing a car. Laurel lodge, while
not iu a body, tinned out well and
the Rebokah lodges were well rep
resented. The sermon by Rev. C.
P. dates of I.aurel lodge was a fine
eulogy on the life of the departed.
The singing by the ipiartet from
Peninsula lodge No. 128 was grand.
Castile, Shaver, McKean and Dot
son did well. Then there was the
song by the Welsh Cambrian social
society ot roruatui mat was beau
tiful. Everything was so nicely
arranged and so well carried out
that it was a great source of conso
lation to the lcreaved family and
friends. We think this little trib
ute is due our brother and fellow
workman. Good bye Hilly. We
win an nave to travel tne same
road some time, whenever the grim
luotorman of death calls for us.

New Christian Church.
The Christian church, a little
body of devoted christians are to be
commended for their cutci prise.
I wo weeks ago, disgusted by the
filthy condition of the hall iu which
they had been holding meetings,
made so by some dance the night
before, where whiskey bottles,
cigais and cigarettes played an im
portaut part, they decided to build
a temporary building in which to
worship on the lot they are paying
for 011 New York street. Work
was begun the next day and last
Sunday, Kaster Sunday, they held
their first services iu their own
building. It is a small structure,
but it will do for the present and it
is dedicated to the worship of Owl
and not H.icchus, and is theiefore
a cleanly place, where one can sit
with comfort and enjoy the sermon

A Mappy Birthday.
A very pretty birthday party
was given Laura Jones on her lath
birthday by Mrs. J. II. Jones at
their residence. Those present
were Katie and Rachel Shelter,
Cordelia Crass, Auualel and Ire
leue Ullis, Virginia Peterson, Marie
Hredesou, Gladys Pavors, Royal
Cross, Ivan Favors, Amos Jones
and James Schritiipsher. Supper
was served and all had a pleasaut
time.

We carry iu stock typewriter

1 ne diiiercuce between poor
stock and first class stock on a job
is a small item when you consider
the value of the job. It is the
price of a satisfied customer. It is
better to make .so cents less on a
job and have a customer who will
come back, than to use the flimsy
stock, make the extra 50 cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure it.
