Have a Kick Coming
Passengers on the North Bank
lluo desiring to get off at tho St.
Johns depot complain that the train
men never announce the fast when
the depot Is reached. It seems that
the railroad officials are desirous of
taking all the passengers to Portland,
- but since a depot has been erected
at East St. Johns It Is not moro than
right that they should make tho
stop. A little "Jacking up" by the
Commercial Club might have a sal

Owners Have Raised Prices Sky High Greatly to the Det

is Seriously Impeded and Hindered
Tho high prices nt which realty
Is being hold nlong tho wntcr front
In this Immcdlnto vicinity hns n
deterrent effect In keeping out new
Industries nnd manufacturing plants
Thoro can bo no question but that
as long as the owners of this prop
orty contliitio to demand prices that
aro far and nwoy beyond reason,
Just so long will the city of St, Johns
bo held back In Its onward progress.
Why tlieso people place such a high
value on land that In Bomo Instances
only cost them 11 song Is beyond tho
ken of tho ordinary Individual. No
one can pay for manufacturing sites
the prices they nsk, for no business
Aould Justify It nt this stngo of the
city's development. If nil tho old
timers had hold their property In St.
Johns proportionately to tho prices
now asked for water frontngo thoro
.vould bo no city hero todny. Man
Is prone to got nil ho can for any
thing ho sells, but whero n person
will not sell when ho gets what Is
conceded to bo a high figure by con
servative business men, and when by
refuhlug to sell ho stunts nnd ob
structs the growth of tho city, Is ho
to bo clnsscd as n desirable citizen?
If It wns n residence slto or oven
a business location ho could not ho
censured In tho least for holding on

price ns ho could Imagine. In
stances of this nature would In no
wise retard the progress of this

Arnold Ungor's pot raccoon de
parted this llfo In a sudden manner
one day last week and silently took
Its depnrturo for 'coon heaven. Tho
animal had becomo a groat pot and
had furnished amusement and en
tertainment for throngs of peoplo nt
dirrorent tlinos In front of Ungcr's
Ico cream emporium by Its many
accomplishments nnd laughablo an
tics. It hnd learned to go through
a person's pocket llko a professional
pick pockot, and sovoral dogs that
got a little too Inquisitive woro n
euro noso for n fow days by coming
In contact with a nailed paw. Cap
tured In its Infancy, It quickly
adapted Itself to tho ways of civiliza
tion and was conducting Itself In an
Irreproachable manner until In an
evil hour a hen with a brood or
chicks In Mr. Ungor's yard came
undor Its observation, and ho ct onco
formulated plans lor Its annihila
tion. So ono day It slipped around
to the headquarters of Mrs, Hon
and quiotly nlppod off Its hoad. Tho
squabblo set in motion by tho brood
attracted the attention of Mr. Unger'a
daughter, Hilda, and sho hurried to
the scene, and whon she saw what
hnd occurred, culled her father, who
attempted to capturo tho critter. But
tho taste of blood was too much.
The wild naturo of Us ancestors,
which had lain dormant within It
for many moons, was fully aroused,
and the "call of tho wild" resounded
In Its ears. It became surly, cross
and ferocious, and no ono could ap
proach too closely, with Impunity.
Not Improving In temperament Mr.
Unger decided the best and safest
thing to do was to make a "good"
'coon of It for all tlmo to como,
and an execution was planned and
carried out whereby Mr. Raccoon
was gathered to Its fathers, aud
with Mrs. Hen aro burled sldo by
side in good old Mother Earth.

ited. That being true, when this
property Is held nt such exorbitant
prices that manufacturing lnstltu
.Hons cannot vail themselves of It,
tho greatest drawing card of tho
city becomes null nnd void and In
turn It becomes n boomerang and
knocker against tho welfare nnd
advancement of St. Johns. Thoro
should bo enough public spirit nnd
unselfishness nmong tho owners of
this property that when 1111 Institu
tion that promises to bo of Immense
value to tho city comes nlong nnd
offers n fair price for n situ that
the same bo given.

realty man replied thnt ho had ono
good piece consisting of about four
teen ncres, but It wns priced nt
$123,000. Tho Portland man, nftur
being Informed as to Its location,
Immediately replied: "Nail It, tpilck,"
nnd said tho parties would bo down
to mnko out tho necessary docu

man, naturally feeling highly elated
over tho prospect or such n lnrgo
sale, at onco called up tho owners
and told or the prospective sale, but
tho representative ho talked with
only laughed and said -"Why, wo
have raised tho price to $223,000, and
tho fact Is wo believe wo do not wnn
to soli at all." Tho realty man thon
betin to kick himself for not hav
ing tho former agreement In writing,
but ho told tho representative what
ho thought or tho owners for placing
a pleco of property on tho market
at n ridiculous price whon thoy did
not want to soil.

Big Pear Crop
Southern Oregon nlono oxpects to
ship pears to the valuo of half a
million dollarB this season. From
present indications, It Is thought
Southern Oregon will send away 600
cars of pears to tho Eastern markets.
Tho valuo of each carload Is placed
at $1000, making tho value of tho
crop worth $500,000. Other sections
of. tho stato will increase tho valuo
of tho pear crop largely, making a
very largo total for this ono great
Oregon product.

TOO DEAR
of land thnt was wanted for hugo
grain docks by tho Hill road, but
the offer was refused. Yet tho most
optimistic real estato mail In St,
Johns wilt tell you Hint $50,000 would
b. an exceedingly big price for the
land.
A couplo of weeks ago tho Com
mercial Club was In communication
with n firm having n plant In tow
that would employ about BOO men
nnd erect n plant costing $350,000.
Twenty ncres of land on tho wator
front wns desired and tho location
at St. Johns wns quite satisfactory
to tho company, yet no member or
the club could nnmo n piece thnt
could bo secured within reason, and
tho fact wns thnt nil or the mem
bers wero nshnitied to quote any
prices now asked for this kind of
property, us they didn't care to bo

Wo do not like to publish matters
of this sort, because wo do not like
our subscribers at n dlstanco to know
or tho humiliating situation tho

that must bo met with, discussed nnd
lr possible be overcome. But tho
great question Is, how nro wo to
remedy this deplorable condition? It
has been suggested that lr tho ns-rr.sMi.-
wns put right In rotation to
tho prices now nsked for this prop
erty Hint tho taxes would bo made so
trong that they would bo glnd to
reduce tho price and get nwny from
paying several thousand dollars ouch
year for taxes. Tho proposition mny
b n good one, nnd If tho assessor
would do his duty It Is likely It
vould bo qulto effective. If any of
our citizens hnvo any solutions to of
fer tho Itevlow would bo glad to
4lvo them publicity, Thoro Is no
use to dodgo the Issuo, It must bo
.'need and solved It possible, nnd
there Is no better tlmo than tho proa
Jilt In which to bring It up nnd try
to find a way out.

TRI-CITYLEAGUE

Vancouver First, St. Johns
Second in the Race
Tho concluding gnmo of tho TrI-
City longuo was played on tho local
grounds Sunday afternoon. Tho Al
blna tenm was tho opponents of tho
ApoBtles nnd seccccded In winning
their first gnmo from St, Johns by n
scoro of 1 to 2, Tho gnmo was
rather an Interesting ono nnd tho
locnls had several chances to land
n victory, but poor bnso running
killed nil hopo. Several tlmos mon
wero on third base, but bono hoaded
plays spoiled tho bright prospocts.
Pitcher Stono wns not In his usual

Whether bnso ball lntorcst is on tho

uncertain, but It Is certain that tho
Junior leagues hnvo not boon at

own pockets on several occasions wltb

Philanthropy In tho lntorcst of sport
Is nil right, but when It comes too
regularly und too persistently R gets
n llttlo too monotonous. Hereafter
for tho balance or tho base ball
