TI10 Horse mid Cnttlo Halo In Port hunt linn opened tho eyes of live stock liroeders In every part of tho United Stntcu nttd Cnnndii to the fnet that Oregon Ih tho beat market for good things In thnt line In thu United Stntes. OrcgonlntiB don't wish nnybody hnrd luck, hut thoy never get suf flelontly sympathetic, when tho fruit crop fnllH In tho older states to "murk down" tho price nt which wo "hold ud" the Imlimcu of tho world for ItH befit npples. Teddy killed IiIh first tiger Inst week and all tho world In ringing with tho nowH. Ah long uh hu him few nntlvcfl iiIoiik which ho can feed to a vicious nnlnial heforu It roach. m thu dunger Ih not ho Krent. Ah tigers nre moro or Icsh lined to that color of food n white mnii tins better Hhow, uiiIcsh tho nnltunl'j curiosity Ih aroiiHcd and hu wnntn Homethlnt; dlrfereiit for dessert. Then: Ih nonie slight, difference between hunting n tlHernnd luu'luga lot of tin Uvch cIiiiho It around for 0110 to Hhoot at. If Portland Hhould attain a populn tlon of COO.OOj population ns per tho movement thnt has been IntiUKurnlod with that end In view, at thu rate of flvo to a household It will require 10,000 more homes to accommodate them. If this happomi, whero will tho now Iioiinch hu built? It Ih doubt fill If nil told there Ih anywhere near thai number of loU on thu market to ilny, but there Ih plenty yet to plat out on tho peninsula. With Portland already crowding tho foot I1III11 on tho west Hide, t Ih to the east Hide that this ureal Incoming horde will of necessity come In order to find Htillablu and pleasant habi tation. It Ih Hiiro that 81. Johns will got Uh full quote of now rcsldeiitii. and therefore, If Portland nets half a million In 101'.! St. Johns win have nt leant 25,090 Inhabitants. Doea It not look that way to you? I Ono of the grcntcst monnccs to Boclcty and tho well being of ntiy roiniminlty Is the person who breaks (lunranllno. When an Infectious dlseaso Is contracted by any member of tho household and tho board of health bus placed the house under quarantine, It Ih tho bounden duty of overy member therein to obey tho Instructions given by tho city phy slclnu regarding mingling with th outsido world. While It is oftlmcs 11 great hardship for members of the family to remain housed up until thu disease has wnsted Its force and the patient cured, nevertheless It Imperative that this be done. It Is I ho only known tnothod to provcut tho spread of tho contagion, and n man who has no moro regard for tho welfuro of his friends and nc qualntances than to mluglo freely with them when ho knows there Is a case of dangerous and contnglou disease at his homo can not bo called 11 good citizen, mid after ho bus (lis regarded thu laws of quarantine hu Ih a monnco to socloty. If peoplo will not stay nt homo when It Is placed under quarantine It Is the duty of thu city council to place n special officer at each houso and fnrru the InhnhltnntA thereof to re main thcro regurdless of tho oxpotiso Involved and no matter how depleted tho city cofferH may bo. Llfo cannc hu uninsured In dollars and cents and If n llfo Ih lost through tho nou enforcement of quarantine rules the bereaved members of tho family will never forgive the authorities having tho matter In charge. Of .course vie tatorri can he arrested and comlcted for breaking quarantine, but till cannot happen until thu case has been cured of thu dire affliction, but. In the meantime forco must bo used, It necessary, to compel tho members of thu afflicted household to remain at homo If 11 pest houso has not been provided. Any girl who has u waste baskot In a fair state of preservation can have a now spring hat without much cost. A few flowers and ribbons will do thu rest. A homo that ents chickens, ducks mil geese alive Ih owned by (leorgo I). Dunlop, a resident of Dunlnp, a Uulner Valley suburb. The horse has displayed u liking for broilers with the feathers 011 over since ho was 2 years old, "Illlly" seems to prefer tho fowl at thu ago they are generally put on (ho market for fries, but his owner IicIIovch hu would uat a full grown hlclccu or duck If ho got tho oppor tunity, Thu horse has been known to eat a whole flock of young lilt kirns at one meal, lie Ih excep tionally tricky nail will open an ordi nary gate with his bead to roach bis feathered victims. About the best medicine in the world is sunshine when taken in proper doses. That nt this time of the year is particularly Rood, and people do well to vet out and take in n few sunshines a day, with long deep breaths occasionally. And to exercise the joints and keep the muscles in practice, ns many of them as possible. Then cat temper ntcly of health v food, and you will keep in good health. 1 A city Is kept clenn by every man sweeping in front of his door. city is made beautiful by each man keeping his home neat and his front yard in order. liven a rented place Is pretty if the tenant lias prulc en ottgh to keep it neat and clean Where all the houses and yards on a street are well kept that street nt tracts the attention of passcrsby It docs not take mticli money nor much time to make a place neat and the sight of n neat place raises the estimation the public has for a family. The city should do some thing for its parks nnd for the streets; the people must do it for the houses. To have n city beattti fttl the people who own the houses and the people who rent houses must take tin interest. Attention to details timke beauty. Iix. Pointers for our Patrons. I he (inference between poor stock and first class stock on n job is n small item when you consider the value of the job. It is the price of n satisfied customer. It is better to make 50 cents less 011 n job nnd have n customer who will come back, than to use the flimsy stock, make the extra 50 cents and lose your customer. way we figure it. That is the Our Charges. As is customary, we will charge for card of thanks, 50c: for rcsolu tious of re.siect, $1.00; for notices of church or Imlge entertainments, suppers, sociables, etc., where there nre charges for admission, 5c cr me, but where there nre 110 charges for the.se events, we will break the rule nnd insert them free.
