All the Rcbckahs should take notice that the car for Vancouver leaves St. Johns tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock, sharp. You will have to hurry or you will get left. Gordon Bragg, an old Hood Riv crlte, now in the employ of Gadsby & Co., Portland, was in the city Tuesday and called for a few mo mcuts to say hello. Gordon is al right, is a good employe and wil vote for Tom Word which shows that his heart is in the right place. George L. Per Hue returned Mon day from an extended visit at Kcl so where he has been engaged in the erection of a three story brick.

Mr. Willis, who recently lived on North Jersey street, moved Tuesday to Whitwood Court where he will build a house at once. There is a keen interest being ere ated in the fine, new residence dis trict opposite St. John and the fact that the United Railways are to build a line at once along the foot of the tract will make the property values go up la a hurry.
