Remember the auction sale at Prnll's today nnd tomorrow. There was one thing noticeable at the graduating exercises Monday evening and that was the good be havior of the audience. It was most orderly and quiet and the majority of the guests were the young people of the city. It speaks well for St. Johns, and it was re marked by Professor Curtis that he had never seen a more orderly, well-behaved audience on an occa sion of this kind. J. R. Todd, an old friend of George Hall, the whisker expert, was iu the city last Thursday and made this office n short call.

The presidents, past presidents, and treasurers of the 25 lodges of the Fraternal Brotherhood have formed themselves into an organ ization to be known as the Oregon State association of the Fraternal Brotherhood. The objects of the association nre the advancement of the Order and also the drawing together of the officers in a social way. The association will give a big picnic at Cauemah Park July 4 and a little later will hold a state convention and banquet at Portland. The olucers of the association are George P. Doherty of Portland 209, president; Ed L. Stockton, St. Johns lodge, secre tary and Mrs. J. C. Murray of Portland 209, treasurer.. On Saturday June 20 friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. M.

Mr. aud Mrs. Roberts' daughters, Mrs. W. C. Elliott and Mrs. J. S. Stau ley received, and Mrs, A. J. Freum, and Mrs. W. J. Ward assisted by Mrs. Ashby served in the diuiug room. During the afternoon ice cream and cake was served by Vada Ward and Vera Biddle. In the fifty-one years spent iu Oregon Mr. Roberts has seen Portland grow from a forest to a great city, and it is with pride he refers to St. Johns as his home for the greater part of that time. Early Sunday morning there was a frightful wreck at the Cazadero power plant of the Portland Rail way, Light and Power compauy. One of the big water wheels rnu- mug one of the generators rau away because the governor regu lating the flow of water on the wheel refused to work aud the water gate was permitted to open wide. The generator ran so fast that it flew to pieces. A hunk of casting struck the governor of the other big wheel breaking it and the other gate flew open and that generator also followed the first. The total damage is estimated at $100,000. There was no loss of life, but the two operators there had a narrow escape from the flying metal. The building shows a great pile of castings and twisted wire as though the plant .had been torn to pieces by some ' great ex plosion. Bring in your printing now.

He says that the nearer he came to St. Johns the better it looked to him aud he thinks there is nbthlug bct- anywhere. He's right. Remember the auction sale at Prall's today and tomorrow. F. B.

These gentlemen arc good business men uud ought to know a good thing when they see it, and after looking over Spokane, Wen atcltcc, Seattle and many other places, thought the Peuiiisuln bent them all, nud two of the three ex pect to make it their future home.

Taylor, at Calef Bros., House Furnishers, opp. P, O. 3itf 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 of u brilliant, Electrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of n brass baud. Is your competitor with the Electrically illuminated show windows, bright interior nud sparkling Electric Sign getting nn advantage over you ? The moth never flutters around the uulighted caudle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting 11 necessity, whether they remain open after dnrk 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 easy the examination of your display, shows goods iu detail and fabrics iu their true colors. Aud don't neglect the Electric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning your name iu the public mind. It is a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.
