Every one having the best interests of St. Johns at heart is urged to at tend this meeting, join the club and boost for St. Johns. B. S. Hoover is bnck from Bridge port, Washington, where he has been visiting relatives nnd hunting. He reports n fine time. It looks goodjto sec the big loads of wool being hauled' from the office of the Suburban railway to the woolen mills. They indicate busy times at the mill.

The many friends of Sarah Mc Kiuuic, who have been regretting her severe illness, will be happy to learn that the young lady is im proving in health. It is said the St. John's Lumber company will put on n double crew the first of the mouth and run day and night. This will give em ployment to n big bunch of good men. Did you see that sample of buck wheat Dr. Vincent received this week from the cast? It is a dead match for that famous Alaska wheat, but tile' doctor calls the grains "beech-nuts." J. G. CorbcttK who fell at the St. Johns Lumber mill recently and sustained serious injuries, left Wed nesday evening for his home in Seattle, to spend Christmas and rest until he recovers. M. If. I.oy recently returned from a trip to the oil fields of Mal heur county, where he spent sever al days looking the country over. Things "greasy" looked good to him in that section and it is possi ble that he will organize a compa ny here, to put a hole down in the ground there, after John I). Rocke feller's favorite "juice." 0 Did you "slip up" nnd "come dnivii" like n tiile driver hammer. and then, did you get up and look all arotiml to sec who was looking, nnd as fast as you turned you could sec people in the act of turning their backs to you wlillc tncy held their hands' to their sides and doubled up liken kid with thccolic?

Reduc tion in the force at some of the mills is doubtless the cause, the employes moving elsewhere to seek employment, -lit also found four more girls than boys, but it doesn't necessarily follow that this means four more old maids in St. Johns, n Have a High Time. The G. A. R. and W. R. C. so cictics met in a union social session last Saturday afternoon in their hall at Chicago and Ivanhoe streets and enjoyed a happy time together. The music was furnished by Mrs. M. V. Walker, who opened the pro gram by rendering iu a splendid manner, "Sheridan's Ride March" and was followed by Assistant Ad jutant General Williams, with a poem, "Olden Days," which was highly appreciated by nil. O. R. Downs, who was in a re miniscent mood as usual, gave an account of a "Yankee Trick" he and his comrades once played on a good ' Cracker" family "endurin' de waV They were marching past the plantation and the evening meal was cooking out in the yard. There was n great corn pone and a pot of meat with other provisions. While a bunch of the boys en gaged the family in earnest conver sation, Comrade Downs and two or three others secured the dinner and hurried out of sight. Now, after visions of the feast thus surrepti tiously obtained haunts him in his dreams until in a "cold sweat" he awakes with a shriek from an an gry pitchfork prod by the beguiled "Cracker" Brother Downs draws his head under the covers and won ders tremorously if this can be a foretaste of the hereafter. Captain Snow then followed with some appropriate remarks. Com rade Powell entertained the audi euce with several old time melo dies on "just a plain fiddle,"as Mr. Downs facetiously called it, iu a way that brought down the house. Tins was followed by a speech from Comrade Ribley. Mrs. Chauey, president elect of the W. R. C, gave the G. A. R. boys an invitation to join them iu a joint installation January 2 in the Odd Fellows' hall and all G. A. R. members are iuvited to be present. SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING.

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 n 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 nnd sparkling Electric Sign getting nn advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the unlighted candle! 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 easy the examination of your display, shows goods iu detail unci fabrics iu their true colors. And 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.
