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

be. Then the Telephone Co. fills
the cutters with clay and rubbish

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

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.

where they expend thousands of
dollars each year for repairs and
street cleaning, but St. Johns with
$5000 a year liquor license can't
put even a few dollars into repairs

micstion at this time is: "What is
done with all this money?" Port

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

with the greatest of pleasure. Our
band is not to be sneezed at by a

This is a lie. Either from iguo

the essence of truth can not be
found in this statement. In a let

I'., W. I loch of Kansas, he asks
this pointed question: "How can
an institution which destroys the
earning capacity of all its patrons

Suit for the recovery ot $100,000
damages from Louis J. Wilde, the
Portland Home telephone company,
II. J. Meagher, C. K. Wagner and
A. I. 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,
