Watch the lnbcl on your paper. Mrs. Harris Dean of Ashland is visiting her sister Mrs. W. D. Weeks. A. P. Magness, of Wheatland, Ore., on the grand jury in land fraud cases is visiting his daughter, Mrs. T. T. Parker. The thistles along the public thoroughfares got all that was com ing to them Inst week. The city dads had the pesky things cut down right in their prime. W. H. Warner, who it will be remembered, cut his left hand with a shineling hatchet three or four weeks ago is again able to do light work, and his hand is gradually healing. Ex-Mayor Couch is now a full fledced Representative of the great state of Oregon, having received his commission several days ago. The proper way to write his name is: Hon. K. C. Couch. Mrs. Salamond returned to her home at Sock Center, Minnesota, last week after an extended sojourn at the home of her sou, Gus, on South Ivanhoc. Mrs. Salamond was greatly pleased with St. Johns. Martin Matson, agent for the Fidelity Conner company was in the city last week aud hooked up his subscription for another 12 mouths. lie represents a very successful company that own some valuable mines in the bnakc river country. Mr. VV. D. Weeks wishes to ex- nress his annrcciation of the kind ness shown by his friends during ld liiiir.14 mid to thank them for the many flowers which prove that thcyjdo not keep the alabaster box es of their love scaled until their friends arc gone but prefer to fill their lives with sweetness. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Rossmati, who have been visiting with their daughter, Mrs. Tom Cochran and family for soma time, leave this week for a visit of two weeks with another daughter, Mrs. L. II. Nut ting, at Columbia city, after which they will return to &t. joiius. Frank Kiiic. who was injured so severely in the mill Inst week is doing nicely and his father says he will soon be able to get up. it was a very close call, though, and one the lad would not wtsn to tnKe chances on ngain. It is a wonder that the life was not crushed out of him. Passim? nituooil & Cole's mark- et a day or two ago we stepped in to get some com meats lor niucii nnl seeinf n nice hunk of bacon on the slab asked the price. We were told that it was 17 centH. There seems to be no need to go to Port laud for 17c pig meat as long as Bitgood & Cole have any in stock. Married at the narsouarrc of the M. I?, church Mondav. Tune 20. Charles Finch and Miss Cora Utter, Rev. F. U. Young oiiiciating. These are Michigan young people lvIio nvp mnde inniiv friends since coming to St. Johns who will join us in wismug tueiu me uesi we earth affords in their new relations. Miss Eva Braasch, who has been attending the art school in Chicago for the past year, receiveu uer diploma this week. She stood first in her class ami naturally leeis elated over her success. It is a fine feather in her bonnet, for there are those who struggle in this school for years before they pass at all. The man with the timid wife has another place to look for burglars before retiring. She used to be half way satisfied when the man of the house looked under the bed, all through the attic and cellar, and through the closets, but now before she can sleep ill peace he must make a careful search under her Merry Widow hat. We want to give you a hint. The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs are going to give a picnic some" of these fine summer days. Get next to one of them and get an invite. These people have good times when they are out. It will be one of the old-fashioned, eat-on-tlic-grass-while-the- bug- crawls- down-your-neck kind with eyescreamnd lemonade. The hustlers at Whitwood Court are to have the home phone in there at once. The poles are set right up to the line. Wonder what is the matter with St. Johns and the Home phone? Auy old clothes line would give better service than the thing we have here they call a phone system. If we cannot get a phone system in any other way we ought to build one aud present it to the Home company in order to get some kind of service. Uncle Dan Calkius who has been working his mine near Merlin, Ore gon for the past year, almost, came home last week for a little vacation aud to attend to some business con nected with his mine. Mr. Calkius says his prospects are fine and that he bas good property, wmcii lie hopes to get developed inside of the next year to a dividend paying basis. He is a hard worker, und erstands bis business, and if there is anyone who can make a success of it, he is the man. Jtverybody who knows Uncle Dan, knows him to be "on the square" and will wish him the very best of success. Bring in your printing now. The glorious Fotuth promises to be a quiet day in bt. Johns. Mrs. D. G. Busby of Park Place, near Oregon City, greeted many of her friends here 1 uesuay. Mrs. Murccllus entertained n number of friends at her home in honor of a friend, Mrs. II. A. Cone, yesterday. Miss Rcco Anderson goes Satur day to visit her aunt, Mrs. C. A. Barr near Salem, during the sum mer vacation. Mrs. H. A. Cone, mother of the Cone Brothers, formerly sawmill men in St. Johns, is visiting Mrs. Marccllus aud other old friends in the city. B. S. Hoover left for Long Beach, Wnsli.. Tuesday, where he will engage in business for the summer. His family will follow as soon as a suitable location is found. "The Two Johns' had a great run on the boards and occasionally make au npptnrauce yet; but they never made such a strenuous tour as will "The Two Bills" this fall. Rev. C. P. Gates will pronounce a funeral oration over the emaciated remains of the St. Johns booze joints Sunday evening, July 5H1. The spirit ot '70, will be the morn- ng topic. Bill, H. G. Ogdcn's famous bird dog, was treated to a first class hair-cut last week, and now his friends scarcely know him. He looks about 2q years younger and steps around as spry as a young pup. Euicric & Hart, the enterprising blacksmiths on North Ivanhoc arc opening a new blacksmttli snap on hast Ash between Third street aud Union avenue. These lads arc first class workmen and will'hc sure to do well with their branch shop. S. J. Donaldson has returned from an extended trip to Idaho, his former home, aud is now busily engaged in advancing the interests of the Collapsible Box Co. Mr. Donaldson is a hustler in every sense of the word nud since his return the factory lias taken on new life. July Fourth being the regular meeting date of Coinpson Post the commander wishes us to announce that there will be no meeting 011 that date, but there will be 11 spec ial meeting at 3 p. m. July 11th instead. All of the old Coffee Coolers will please bear this in mind. July the Fourth will dnwu again, diverting circumstance; aud the bubbling boy will light his punk More he finds his pants. He'll roll down stairs with a scream of joy, contemptuous of hurt, aud starts the battle when he burns the tall off of his shirt.The Devil. Our interesting correspondent at University Park deserted us for a time because of ill health, but has promised us regular reports from that beautiful section of the Penin sula. We hope to secure one or two good solicitors there in the com ing contest, and it should be n good point for our list is not nearly so inrge as it should be at that office. Billie, the Repair Man, has dis posed of his busiuess in St, Johns aud for the present will locate in Portland. Billie's smiling counte nance will be greatly missed here. He always had au unfailing supply of good humor on tap and was a workman of more than ordinary ability. His many friends wish him a most successful career in whatever line of busiuess he may enter. A committee of Jewish women of Portland waited on Mr. Josselyn of the street car company aud re quested that the street car steps be lowered so as to make it more con venient to get on and off the cars. Mr. Josselyn informed them that it would not be practicable. We have known ladies who were such high steppers tiiat it would hardly be necessary to make the change. The Prall Mercantile Co. has almost closed out its stock of goods. The sales have been well attended and a few more days will see the end. We are extremely sorry that Mr. Prall has decided to leave St. Johns, Ever courteous, pleasant and a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, his departure is a blow to any towu. We join his many friends in wishing him unbounded success wherever he goes. Mrs. Ruby Markwell, nee Hoov er came home for a visit last Satur day and Mr. Markwell came down Wednesday, They have been op erating a hotel at Napavine, Wash. That is a nice country up there, but there is no place like home, especially when home is in St. Johns. We hope these young peqple may get so stuck on the old home that they will conclude to sell all their possessions aud come here to make a new home. We understand the contract has been let for the construction of the electric line from Portland to Linn ton, and that dirt will be flying inside of two weeks. This will be a great thing for Whitwood Court and the west side in general. A free ferry in connection with this line when it is completed would mean a quick trip to Portland. The petition to council asking that steps be taken toward securing a free ferry was accepted and placed 011 file, and that seems to be the end of the matter tor the present I at least.

There was sickness in the family of one of the members of the coun cil nud others wished to be else where, so that, nfter reading the minutes and transacting such busi ness as could not well hold over the council adjourned to meet Thursday evening, ami are in ses sion as we go to press. Jcons-Lindlcy. Miss Mary Myrtle, (laughter of Mr. nud Mrs. Thomas Llndlcy and William Slmdrlck Jeans were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents, in St. Johns, July 1st 1903. Wanted. To exchange Hood River laud for St. Johns property. Inquire at this office. 3.itf II. M. Poole one of our old Hood River tilliciims was in the city this week looking nt several properties and may be induced to locate here. We hope so, at least. Mrs. Marcellus goes this week to Howl River where she will spend a week visiting old friends 111 the Apple City and attend to some business matters there. The Peninsula Law Enforcement League offers and will pay 25 for ach conviction of the violation of the local option law. By Order ot the committee. J. II, Abbott and his friend Mr. Firebaugh were in the city Wed nesday looking for property. They nre the class of gentlemen we would like see coming to St. Johns. Mr. Abbot has been a citizen of Hood River a number of years aud made good money there. Mary had a little lamb, it fol- lowed her to church; and then stood around the door like an owl upon the perch. Why don't the silly lamb come in? the watching people cried. Why, Mary told the silly thing to watch for her outside. So you, each gentle maiden, may one and all still find, some sheep- head waiting nt the door, if you ad mire that kiud. Hood River pa pers please copy. There were doings at the last meeting of the Pythian Sisters. When about halt through with their work, they were invaded by their brothers of Holmes lodge with two big cans of ice cream and about a bushel of delicious cookies. Well, maybe there was not a good time. l lien after the feast, such of the brothers as were not members of the sister's lodge retired, while the lucky fellows who belonged to the lodge remained with the pretty girls and aisisted in giving the fin ishing touches to the miatory work. The Pythian Sisters are a fine bunch, up to date, and their lodge is growing rapidly. 8 YOUR PAY CHECKS Can always be cashed at Bonham & Currier's after the regular banking hours. We make no charge for it and do it cheerfully, simply for the sake of making our store popular. BONHAM &, CURRIER 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 a brilliant, Electrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion cull of a brass band. Is your couietitor with the Electrically illuminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Electric Sign getting nn ndvnutnge over you? The moth never flutters around the iiulighted cnudlcl Up-to-date stores nowaday consider shop-window lighting ti 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 e isy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail mid 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 n solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.
