Let us not take a back sent. The genial, wideawake young representative of the Kilham Sta tionery & Printing Co., H. Ru dolph Hayek, was in the city elec tion day calling on his friends and did not forget the Review force. Heine is a hustler, and a look at his smiling face is good for the blues. His house, too, puts out the best there is and Heine knows how to tell you nil about it. Mrs. Lawrence N. Blowers, wife ot the mayor of Hood River, and three daughters were visitors in the city Monday and honored our office with a call. We would be de lighted to have these good people locate here. IJoth Mr. and Mrs. Blowers like St. Johns and wc do not believe it will take much urg ine to win them if there is an open- inc. Mr. Blowers is one of the pioneer business men of Hood River nnd wc hope he may find it profitable to move with his most estimable family to St. Johns. The came of base ball between the Firemen and the Eagles Satur day last was a hotly contested u flair. Both teams were pretty evenly matched, and it was only through the aid or the umpire that the Bugles came out victorious. The decision that decided the con test was made nt second base. The uuinirc called n man safe and then changed his decision and declared him out. Many startling plays were made throughout the gnmc and the fans kept things lively. The score was 6 to 5 in favor of the V. O. U. A bunch of young friends from Hood River were down Tuesday to attend the Rose Carnival nnd of course could not turn down the old Hood Rivcrite, but called for n little while. We regret sincerely that we were so very busy we could not show them the town, for we arc proud of our little city. There were in the party, Misses Pearl nnd Lizzie liby, Nina Noble and Messrs. F,url Kastmnnaud Karl Noble. It was a bunch of girls and boys wc used to play with in Hood River, ever since they were little children, and it was good to sec them. K. P. Monson, of Dee, Oregon, a good friend oi both the Review bosses, was a very welcome visitor u the office Saturday. He was In Portland in attendance nt the funeral of his uncle, Ncls Johnson Mr. Johnson has been a resident of Portland for many years and has been employed in the Good Samar- tan hospital for 15 years. lie died at 8 o'clock a, m. on the 27th and was buried in Riverside ceme tery Sunday from Hoi mini's under taking parlors at 10 o'clock a. 111. Mr. Johnson leaves a brother and sister in Minnesota and a sister in Idaho. J. W. Taylor, one of our Hood River friends has bought into the firm of Olson Roe Transfer com pany of Portland. Kiudley note their ad in a'notuer column and give them a good share of your business. While we do not know the other members of the firrri, we do know Mr. Taylor. He Is all right. For a number of years he was "a pirate of the main' and with his boat served the people of the Upper Col umbia. He was Johunie on the spot when wanted aud we feel sure le will uring tuts aumirauie cnar- acleristic with him iuto his new business' Mrs. Walter Upson of Hood River with her three little daugh ters haye been visiting the past week in Portlaud and Monday hon ored the family of the scribe with a call and stayed to tea. We were delighted to see them, as they were our next door neighbors in the Ap ple City and we remember many good times we had together there. We hope none 01 our good Hood River friends will turn us down when they come down to the city, Our latch string is always out. Aud when here take a look around. We have the nicest little city in the state and it will in the near fu ture be one of the biggest and best. Better catch on to the wagon before it gets to going too fast. The tour of the world to be made June 8 will be one of the greatest events of the season. The Jap and the Dutch girls will serve you in their respective countries and they are just as cute as they can be. You must not raise it. The en tourage stops at Boston, Mrs. Brows s, 402 South Fillmore: Ja- pas, Mr. Leggett's, 410 South Fill more; Hollasd, Dr. Vincent's, 107 S, Hayes; Scotland, Dr. Mary Mc- Lacfalau s, 215 North Hayes; Port land, Mr. Davis', 613 North Fill wore. The best people is the city are goisz and you will want to be one of them. There is no danger is going frots Boston to Scotland aad you. will find that the Dutch have takes Holland. The Giesne girls of Japan will be sweet enough to capture all the boys in the buses. The Dutch girls arc all right the ones at Dr. Vincent's Julie 8.

Too many things on the string for us to hunt up the election re turns, many counts not yet 111; but will try and give our people the re sult of the election next week. H. Iv. Muggins of Hood River was in the city today and reports the Apple City flourishing. He did not have time to take in the town but just stopped off a car to say hello Again wc are reminded that wc have the finest climate in the world by the reports of heavy rains and floods, blocking the railroads with land slides and washouts causing great damage nnd some loss of life in Montana and other states in the west and middle west. Rev. F. L. Young met with a very pjinful accident Wednesday, while removing the scats from the skating rink, where the temperance meeting was held. He fell nnd severely wrenched his ankle. He declares he hnd not been indulging in joy water over the fact that St. Johns had cone dry, but says the victory is worth a broken leg nny way. Attorney George J. Perkins re turned last Sunday from a visit of two weeks nt Lakcview nnd Kla math Falls, where he was interested in n big laud case. Mr. Perkins was glad to get back home, mid says that the weather was quite se vere while he was there. A part of the time snow and ice wan in evidence and the weather was sharper there than it was here at ati) time during the winter. There arc worse places than St. Johns, even in Oregon, Wc were made happy yesterday by n visit from Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hutricati of Hood River. Mrs. Hntricnu used to put our copy into type when wc played nuilbpushcr for the News Letter. Slic is one of the nicest little Indies that ever tuck type for us, and used to put up the longest string of the clean est proof of nny on the job. She has gone back on the "profesli," though, us she has contracted with Bert to clear nu tipple rmch on the West Side. She is n "man of her wotd," too, ti t id will prove n help meet for Bert. May their days be many and every one of them happy. Messrs. Harry A. Van nnd W. C.

Mr. Van is known the whole, -country over from Maine to Oregon and Mani toba to the Gulf, ns the prince of entertainers. He has not confined his work entirely to the States, for he recently returned from n success ful tour of Alaska. The films are clean, comical, entertaining and instructive, such as you will be glad to take your sister, mother, sweetheart, wife or daughter to sec. See bills nnd dodgers nnd do not miss a number. Change of program twice a week. THE BARGAIN COUNTER Dumped the Druggist. W. M. Scarbough, the popular littte druggist in the North Bank Pharmacy, met with a very painful accident yesterday. He was over town with Mr. Butterworth's little driving nag and after luncheon went for a drive with his sister-in-law. While driving along, sudden ly, the buggy became uncoupled, aud dumped the getiial manipulator of pills and paregoric out in the street, and the lady In the bottom of the buggy. The little pony was badly scared and skidded Mr. Scarbrough along on the pavement for nearly a block before that gritty lad could stop her, When he had stopped the pony and taken an in ventory, he found that he had sus tained a bad sprain of his right ankle and numerous contusions and abrasions all over his anatomy. Today he walks as if he had been starched and run through the mangles at the West Coast Laun dry. It was very fortunate that it was he and his sister-in-law instead of his wife aud bis sister-iuduw, as It was first planned, who were driving. Mrs. Scarbrough did not feel like taking the drive wheu the time came and thus escaped what might in that case have been a most serious accident. As it was our little druggist does not feel like crowing very much . A Happy Surprise. A very pleasant surprise was giveu Professor W. M. Wilder, choir master and leader of the Grace Methodist chorus, by the members of the male chorus of that church. About 25 of us gathered at 12th and Montgomery and marched to his home Monday evening, May 25, and stoppiug in frost of his resi dence we sang "Far Away in the South." Then we were welcomed by the host and sjRHt the evening with games, songs aud stories, The last speaker of the evening presented Mr. Wilder with a silver cup engraved as follows: "Pre sented to Wm. Massell Wilder by the boys of Grace church male chorus, 5-25-08." The evening was enjoyed very much by all pres est. E. L. Pkrkins. Go to the Home Creamery for ice cream.

A. SHERE, Representative 425 Washington St., Portlaud, Ore. Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Electric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The brig'U store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the attraction oi 11 brilliant, Electrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass baud. Is your competitor with the Electrically illuminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Electric Sign getting nu advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the titillghlcd cnudlel 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 Electric light will make many n sale "the night before." Electric light compels attention, makes c.tsy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail aud fabrics in their true colors. Aud don't neglect the Electric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning your name in the public mind. It is 11 solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.
