Ogleshy Young, the democratic
candidate for railroad commissioner,
is making an active campaign and
should be electetl to that office.
Mr. Young has been a icsideut of
Portland for the past fifteen years,
he is widely known throughout the
state as a man of upright character,
strict integrity and a good lawyer.
It is most important to the people
of this district that the railroad com
mission be composed of men com
jetent to perform the duties of the
office and to see that justice is done
where a difference arises between
the railroads and the people, We
want men for this office honest and
incorruptible, who arc neither allied
with any speclul interest or owned
by the railroads.

May 30th having been dedicated
as sacred to the memory of those
who so nobly gave their lives in
defense of our land and homes, and
being so dedicated wc believe it to
be the tlttty of every loyal citizen
011 that day to lay aside business
cares and labor for at least a part
of the day and join with that small
and rapidly diminishing baud of
veterans, the Grand Army of the
Republic, in paying tribute of lion

those who died defending our conn-
We believe this to be
of the citizens of St.
'Johns.
therefore, 1, II. w. Urice, may

estly request that you all refrain
from labor and that business houses
be closed 011 that day from the
hour of 10 a. in. to 12 m. and from
1 p. in. to 3 p. nt. and that all per

Alemorial Day Exercises.
Members of General Compson
Post No. 33, G. A. U., will visit
the schools during the forenoon in
St. Johns, and in the afternoon the
schools nt Portsmouth, Peninsula
uud Ackley Green.
Saturday, May 30, all veterans'
of all wars, and the W. R. C. will
meet at the G. A. R. hall promptly
at 10 a, in. At 10:45 the Hue will
be formed, headed by the St. Johns
Brass Baud, and will move to the
grounds selected for holding the
post exercises. After exercises
there the line will re-form aud re
turn to the G. A. R. hall where a
lunch will be served to the veterans
and their families. At 1:15 the
line will re-form and move to the
ferry lauding where the W. R. C.
will conduct their exercises, casting
flowers on the waters iu memory of
our sailor dead.
The veterans urgently request
our citizeus to come out and par
ticipate in these exercises and aid
them by their presence, as it is
their day as much as the veterans'
who will lead in the exercises.
This day Is both a national aud a
state holiday aud equally the duties
arc the same to all. Although the
veterans iu their decliulng days
take the most prominent part, the
time is shortly coming when our
citizeus will be culled upon to con-
luct these exercises in memory of
the dead of the late civil war.
Field Meet St.' Johns Grounds.
the young men's names who" were
the winners.
All together there was a delight
ful evening enjoyed by all with
only one feature to mar the pleas
ure of the event. This was the
utigentlemanly behavior of some
four or five boys who are just
about the age when they have not
yet attained that degree of intelli
gence which will enable them to
recognize the fact that they are
making blooming asses of them
selves instead of appearing smart
before their fellows. These boys
kept tin a runtime fire of loud re
marks during part of the. exercises,
disturbing those who wished to
listen to the announcement of the
different events. Perched on the
cast fence like a string of jackdaws,
their remarks were at times not
only impolite but bordered upon
the indecent, and the policeman
would have been justified Iu taking
one or two of them to the cooler.
in the grand stand these live were
yelling so that one could not hear,
and at one time they were requested
to be still just a moment until the
announcement of the event could be
heard, and replied with insulting
remarks aud jeers, keeping it up
until they went out of the en
closure. I wo of these boys were
known and wc had fully intended
to give their names aud wc ought
to do so, but they came around and
apologized for their misconduct,
promised to be more careful of the
rights of others hereafter aud wc
let them off. With one of these
boys wc think it was thoughtless
ness, perhaps, but the other bears
a reputation for ungentlcmanliucss
and really deserves a reprimand.
Of course wc are sorry that
Gresham's pretty girls and fine
young fellows should come over
here aud carry away so many of
the honors; but there is one conso
lation, they were taken by one of
the brightest and nicest aggrega
tions of young people that has vis
ited St. Johns In n long time and
wc sincerely congratulate them
upon the fine showing they made
here. Wc hope our young folks
will ginger up aud wheh our
friends from Gresham come again
wc will be able to scud them home
with a fine lot of goose eggs.
Saturday was a red letter
with the St. Johns high school.

delicious lunch iu the school build

the sport started with a so-yard
dash iu which Hrnest Crouchlcy
won hrst and Kalclgh Wutsou sec
ond.
This was followed by a girl'a
ruce iu which a pretty Mtss from
Gresham carried off the honors.
The next number was the ham
mer throw in which Ernest
Crouchley took first with a distance
of 74 feet AYt inches; Jackson
Jones of Gresham 3d with 66 feet
7 inches, and Harry Mount 3d with
or feet aud 7 inches.
I he ioo-yard dash was the next
event aud was won as follows:
Kruest Crouchlcy 1st, Raleigh
Watson and Charles McCall of
Gresham 2nd uud 3d respectively.
The girls' basket ball was an in
tensely interesting aud hard-fought
battle. The pretty girls looked
splendidly in their fine easy going
bloomers and we are sorry that the
good, sensible bloomer Is not the
exclusive fashion. Our girls
would all be stronger, brighter!
healthier and happier if it were so.
There would not be the
Rebckah Excursion.
It was a happy thought that
prompted the Rcbckahs of the
Vancouver lodge to extend a cor
dial invitation to the lodges of St.
Johns aud others on the peninsula
to visit that lodge last Saturday
evening. An effort was made to
secure 50 members to join the ex
cursion In order to secure a special
car. When the time came to start
there were that number who went

We were met at the landing In

Rcbckahs from Vancouver lodge
and escorted to the beautiful hall
of the Odd Fellows, where we wit
nessetl the making of 1 r more good
Keockans aud enjoyed numerous
humorous speeches while they were
getting a delicious feed ready for

Memorial Services.
At the Baptist church' Sunday
evening at 2 o'clock the G. A. R.
Post and W. R. C. held their me
morial services. It was a sort of
union service of all the churches in
the city aud held in honor of the
living as well as in memory of the
dead heroes of the civil war.
Rev. Gates read a passage from
the scriptures, which he was just
closing as wc entered. He was
followed by a song by a quintette,
"Tenting tonight on the old camp
ground" Miss Edlefscu at the organ.
Rev. Young then invoked the
divine blessing upon the old heroes
present, and was followed by Mrs
Kcelcr with a fine solo beautifully
rendered. Mrs. Kcelcr is possessed
of a very sweet, clear, rich toned
voice.
Mr. Gates then delivered a most
eloquent address. He recounted
many of the trying scenes and
events of the war, the sacrifices not
only by those brave men who went
to the front, but by the equally
brave mothers, sisters, sweethearts
and wives who gave those they
Iovcd'thc best on earth for the prcs
crvatiou of our beloved country
While he extolled to the highest
the virtues of those noble men who
bared their breasts to the foes of
their country, he also recalled the
fact that at Appomattox court house
the hatchet was buried aud (hat
there is no divided country, that
instead of enemies the North and
South arc brothers, a united family.
He urged the young among his
audience to remember that our
beautiful land was a trust placed iu
our hands, a purchase by the blood
of the heroes who gave their lives
for its perpetuity and preservation,
that it was our duty, as heirs of
this great estate, to so manage it,
to so control it that at the end of
time wc nuy meet these old heroes
aud present them this country
unsullied by anything that would
bring a blush of shame to our
checks, a nation noted for its
integrity, its purity aud goodness.
He was followed by some very
appropriate remarks by Rev. Iou
ard and the benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. Nelson. The
beautiful church of the Baptist pco
pic was tilled to the limit with a
most attentive audience, thus at
testing their regard for the defenders
of their homes.

To the Citizens of Multnomah
County: Four years ago you elect
ed me sheriff of this county. I
promised you a clean business ad
ministration of the office, and I
made good ; I was weighed in the
balance aud nor found wanting.
I closed the gambling hells and
dives of Portland, All manner of
inducements were offered for a per
mit to run the games wide open.
They did not avail. The persis
tent fight made for law enforce
ment and the betterment of civic
conditions was waged against the
gamblers and dive keepers from a
sense of official duty, for public de
cency and the protection of our
homes.
The combined "open town" cle
ment viciously fought me during
my administration and arc against
mc now. They never fall to re
ward their friends and punish
their enemies.
I am a candidate for the election
of sheriff of this county itnd ask
yottr endorsement upon my record.
If elected, I will try to do better
than I did before.
I will appoint competent men in
the tax department and conduct it
in an efficient and economical man
ner so as to avoid confusion, delay
and unnecessary expense in the
collection of taxes.
I stand pledged to a flat salary,
the county boarding its own pris
oners without a profit to the sheriff.
I will enforce the law without
fear or favor.
I will be true to my trust.
