It is hoped that the new mayor has appointed a working street committee one that will see that the streets of our otherwise beauti ful little city are kept in a little better order than did the previous committee. To illustrate the amount of care the streets of St. Johns have had just take a look up and down Jersey street the only street of any importance so far in the city's history. Three years ago it was unproved and graveled. Since that time not $ too has been expended in keeping it in repair and nrobab v far less in keeping it clean. Great holes have been made by the adjoining property owners and the water company in making connections with the water mains and left so without care being tak en to tamp the ground or retaining the crave! for the surface as should be. Then the Telephone Co. fills the cutters with clay and rubbish never cleaning them out after fin ishiug their job. Anybody stand inc at the intersection of Philadel Essay on Editors An exchange says a little boy in town was given the job of writing an essay on editors, and the essay is so true to life and so broad in its conception, we think it must have been an editor's boy who wrote it, that he had been previous ly exposed to his dad and caught it bad. The essay reads: 1 'I don' t know how newspapers come to be in the world. I don't think God does, for He ain't got nothing to say about them and edi tors in the Bible. I think the edi tor is one of the missing links you read of, and stayed in the bushes after the flood, and then come out and wrote the things up, and has been here ever since. I don't be lieve be ever dies. I never saw a dead one and never heard of any getting licked.

If the editor makes a mistake Our mtmlcitial taxes are now and folks say he ought to be hung: but Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Electric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the attraction ol n brilliant, Electrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion calt of a brass band. Is your competitor with the Electrically illuminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Klcctric Sign getting an advantage over you?( The moth never flutters around the unlighled caudle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain open after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klcctric light will make many a sale "the night before." Klcctric light coiiiiicIh attention, makes easy the examination of your display, sliows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors. And don't neglect the Klcctric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning your name in the public mind. It is a .solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work - costs little.

Port laud is a large city where there may be a good chance for graft to creep in, and yet tltcy inane some show for the Honor license collected Hut of course we would not inti mate that there is graft in bt. Johns; anyway not to the extent of spending $11,000 in two years even foolishly, Everybody knows that the first thing that catches the eye of the prospective investor is the streets. You may have the streets lined on both sides with great buildings of fine appearance hut if the streets arc bad, filthy and unsightly it gives one a decid edly poor opinion of the place, and I he may leave the place without even asking a single Ucstion, thor I onglily disgusted. Then why not clean up and repair Jersey street at least. A municipal association formed I in St. Johns would be to our ad van tage without doubt. I). C. Rogers. if a doctor makes mistakes he buries them and people dassent say nothing because he can read and write Latin. When the editor Willutnbia assembly 300 of Unit ed Artisans met in Blckuer's hall Monday evening and entertained a number of visitors. There were a number of distinguished guests, among whom were Judge Robert G. Morrow, who is one of the orig inal first 100 Artisan members of the order; Hon. H. S. Hudson of Tacoma, Wash., supreme master artisan; Hon. Geo. W. Bates of Portland, besides a good bunch from Woodstock, who came all the way over here to yisit our Artisans. I here was a victim on hands to be trotted over the course. He was a husky fellow who had fallen from grace and was glad to get back into the fold again. The exemplifies had their work down to a fine point. It was the prettiest floor work we have seen and if our old assembly, Olcta, at Hood River could have stepped in they would have opened their eyes in surprise, and tlicy were not so slow them selves. Just as the assembly was through with their work, the St. Johns band came up and rendered several pieces of most excellent music, of which a number of the visitors as well as our own people took advan tage and tripped the light fantastic with the greatest of pleasure. Our band is not to be sneezed at by a man who has no teeth. Their music will compare favorably with that of many bands making prctcn J. H. KILKENNY O. L.

A doctor can use a word a yard long without him or anyone knowing how to spell it or what it means: but if n editor uses it he our lads. Our people should en courage tne band in every way they can for it is hard work to or ganize, hold together and drill a baud to do as good work as docs our baud. Wc must not forget to mention has to spell it ond if he says it for our friend, W. O. Manlon, supreme one thing and it means something else he gets sewed for lybcl. If the doctor goes to sec another man's wife he charges for it; but if the editor goes to sec another man's wife he gets a charge of bticksiiot for it. When the doctor gets drunk, its a case of being overcome with heat and if he dies, it is from heart trouble: when the editor gets drunk, its a case of too much booze and if he dies, its the jiiujams. Any old college can make a doctor out of mighty poor timber; but a editor has to be born. Davidor Brings Suit. Communicated. Portland Railway Light and Power Co.

Men who arc engaged in and sympathy with the liquor business are in these days of reform and doubtless victory over this malicious business sending up a weak, pitiful wail to the minions of public sent I nicnt, that if the saloon goes out of business the commercial interests of the state and city will go to the wall and universal chaos result. This is a lie. Either from iguo raucc or from malice. At any rate the essence of truth can not be found in this statement. In a let ter in my possession from Gov. I'., W. I loch of Kansas, he asks this pointed question: "How can an institution which destroys the earning capacity of all its patrons and iiiilix tuciu (or any business be a commercial benefit to any com inuuity?" If this is not enough listen to the testimonials of men in our own state.

Hayes was filed in the cir cuit court this morning by Samuel V. Davidor. The suit is one of the results of' the recent split up in the Washington Home Telephone cc Telegraph company of which Davidor was the head. It is claimed by Davidor in his suit that he is the victim of a con spiracy to ruin his business and to secure valuable telephone franchises controlled by Iiitu and his company in various Washington cities, in eluding Chehalis, Vancouver and Ceutralia. lie claims that the Northwestern I.oug Distance Telephone company ami the Washington Home lele phone it Telegraph company owued franchises in Washington that con dieted and that it was in order to wrest the control of the latter com pany from him and to secure its franchises that the defendants brought about the publication of newspaper articles reflecting upon his management of the Washington company and his business integrity The suit characterizes the articles as "false. malicious and scandalous" and asserts that the same men who secured their publication induced Gregory K. Matien to file suit against the plaintiff Davidor in the circuit court and also caused his arrest on a charge of larceny. He claims that when the district attor ney later looked into the charges he found them to be utterly false, Besides all that he claims that the defendants forced him to relin quish valuable contracts with the Washington Home Telephoue & Telegraph compauy aud suudry other enterprises. All in all he wants $100,000 from his alleged detractors. The suit was filed this morning by R. A. Wade, D. J, Haynes and Lewis C. Garrigus, who however, assert they have not succeeded I?. S. J. McAllister as Mr. Davidor's regular counsel. Journal. medical director, who was also present. Dr. Mauiou has just rc turned from an extended visit in' Idaho, Montana, Eastern Washing ton and Oregon. He has had a number of deputies in the field aud they have done splendid work. Supreme Master Artisan Hudson iu his address to the assembly stat ca mat tne msi mouth had been a record breaker for the order, due no doubt iu a large decree to the activity of Dr. Mauiou and his workers, iCoo having been added to the order during the past mouth The Artisans have the best plan of insurance wc nave had the oppor tunity of investigating amPit is securing for them a wonderfully rapid growth. Dr. Mauiou aud his deputies arc entering upon a systematic canvass of Portland and suburbs. A deputy will also oc sent 10 oi. joiius in the near future to work for the order. We hope our people will give him careful hearing. After the baud ceased playing re fresh men ts were served and a social time enjoyed by all. The Artisans have been rather quiet for some' time, but they think it high time they were getting busy again and this is a starter.

Hens that are set outdoors in barrel nests will not only do better work but will be less likely to have vermin to contetul with. The secret iu growing Mav hutched chickens is to feed well, provide some shade iu the runs. and see that the chicks get some green food. The first thine that should be done after removing the pretty, downy chicks and their mother from the nest, Is to destroy with (ire the old tilling in that nest. If the chicks are not crowincr. something is sure to be wrong with the management. Keep tliem housed from cold winds and damn ness. Chilling lowers their vitality.
