NEW INVENTION
OF WHEEL
Promises to Make a St.
Johns Man Wealthy
A. C. Onirics of this city has Just
received letters patent on ono of tho
most Ingenious Inventions of modern
times.' It Is what might bo termed
an expansion wheel. Tho spokes nro
"f thu finest Hteel nnd of curved
shniio. Tho wheel Is admirably
adapted for automobiles as It docs
away with tho pnoumntlc tiro entirely.
With these wheels nttnehed to an
auto, driving over 11 rough nnd
rocky road Is almost n plcasuro, as
tho springy spokes relievo tho con-
concussion nnd tho shock la much
lighter than would bo tho enso
A-cro tho latest and most approved
modem pnoumntlc tires substituted.
On a whcolbnrrow thoy nro also
irent. With this wheel attached to
1 barrow ono could push a load of
eggs ovor almost uiiy surface with
out breaking onu of them. They nro
ilso adapted for passenger trulun,
.rolloy curs und nil kinds of vehicles.
A cursory elnnco at ono of tho wheels
Is all thnt Is necessary to ronllzo tho
groat possibilities and Inestlmnblo
value of this Mlmple yet Ingenious In
vention. Uvory ono who has yet
neon tho wheel uro quite enthusiastic
ovor It nnd bellovo It will soon como
Into universal uro. A crude model of
thu Invention Is now on exhibition at
I'. A. IJredeen's real estato officii on
North Jersey struct, nnd It Is well
worth tiny ono's whllo to look It
over. Mr. dallies Is to bo congratu
lated upon tho result of his brains
und labor, nnd wo hope ho will mako
11 million or two out of It.
Grasshoppers Plenty
Tho grasshopper has struck us
good nnd hard during tho past wook
and is inuklng u clean sweep of somo
of tho gnrdons In town. At this writ
ing their ndvont dates back only a
fow days, In fact slnco Sunday, but
tho amount ot damngu they have al
ready dotio Is nlmost unbelievable.
Corn and bonus so fur scorn to bo
tholr favorlto eating and theso thoy
hnvo stripped cloan down to tho
ground. Icnvlug only tho baro stocks
behind. If thoy continue to sproad,
which no doubt will bo tho case, tho
many fine gardens about (own will
look protty sick In a fow days time.

Will tho man who claims mat
Colorado Ib for suporlor to Orogon
kindly apologize for tho above?
A Thoughtful' Idea
in lieu of nn up-to-dato city direc
tory, B, O. Mngoon has placed at the
disposal of tho public a book for In
scribing tho names und addresses of
nil the residents of St, Johns. Every
rttiion of St. Johns Is requested to
call at his storo on Jersoy street
and record tho desired Information.
Mr. Magoon has offored to do this
bocause so many messenger boys nnd
strangers dally come here In nn en-
doavor to locate somo one, and as
there Is no rellablo and up-to-date
directory In existence It, Is difficult
find the parlies dcsirea. u woum
well to remember this and tako
advantage of Mr. Magoon'a public
splrltedness.
Made Things Lively
Quite a lively scrap took placo In
one of the prominent alley-ways ot
tho city last Monday afternoon. Tho
participants were two well known bus
iness men who, apparently, did not
lovo each other as well as tho Good
nook advises. A pair of badly dam-
aged visages and sore beads resulted
from the fracas. Several other setios
a minor scale are also reporlea.
The "dog days' as a rule are re-
sponsible to a large extent for this
lack ot amiability, and August Is
noted for its vast amount of discon
tent, touchiness, disagreeable feeling,
combatatlveness and general "don't
care a cuss'-edness.'

After soatlng horsolf for a fow

St. Johns, Oregon, Aug. 1ft, 1009.
Mr. H. Collier, City Attomoy,
St. Johns, Oregon,
Dear Sir: Your lottor of tho 12th
liiBtnnt duly received. Previous coun
cils hnvo claimed that they had no
authority to grnnt tiso or occupancy
on unoponcd streots, nt tho samo tlmo
advising us to tnko our clinnco on
using tho streets nbuttlng our prop
erty, when thu samo did not cut them
off from being n thoroughfare.
Wo havo a contract with tho St.
Johns Wntor company and for two
years their mains wero connected to
our flro protection system. Thoy sud
denly cut off this connection, claim
that your Council hud so ruqucstcd,
on account of tho fear that river
water might get Into their mains. Ab
surd ns this wns, and rather than
have any legal troubles, wo nro
obliged to go to tho expense ot erect
ing our own wntor tower nnd tank.
This tower will In 110 way obstruct
tho right-of-way or thoroughfare; 011
tho other hand It will bo sightly nnd
"St. Johns" will bo displayed In largo
loiters to 11 wide view, which wo bo-
lluvo will do our city more good
thnu harm.
No doubt you would do a great doal
to got n new industry of our capacity
In your city, but now that wo arc
hero wo bulluvo wo aro entitled to 11
fair consideration.
Vory truly yours,
St. Johns Lumber Co.,
N. K. Ayor, Malinger.

L. II. Wilson recently wrote nn

Huh this to provo that a lottor
written to tho formor homu town
paper bears fruit, aud It would bo
well If more of our citizens would
tako tho tlmo to follow tho oxamplo
of Mr. Wilson.
To Be Remembered
A famous Oregon ploneor, Dr.
John McLaughlin, will bo romom-
borod on Soptombor G at Orogon
