FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1901.
The long continued cold weather
of the winter has not line a bad
effect 011 crops, ns might hnvc been
expected, bin has been rather bene
licial to them, according to reports
front different parts of the state.
Fruit prospects throughout the
Northwest arc now the brightest In
years, it is said, the cold weather
holding back the buds so long that
there Is little fear of damage by late
frosts. This is showu particularly
in the apple and pear orchards,
wncrc tnc crop during tile past year
was tlic smallest in several seasons
The snowfall of the winter is said
to have been generally ample to
protect fall sown grain except in
some portions of the Willamette
valley. The snow, too, hns added
moisture to the ground in the drier
section.
The Artisans did it ngaiti last
Wednesday evening. The exem
plifies came over from Arletn and
put on the work in the best manner
ever seen in the city. It took 45
minutes to do the work and there
was not a mistake made by them.
Then followed a feed such ns the
local assembly is noted for giving.
ntid a social time until the witching
hour, before the gay bunch went
home. There was a large class of
initiates and more than a dozen ap
plications to be acted on at the next
meeting. The Artisans of Portland
will make n big demonstration
Feb. when a class of more
thou 3oo wilt be initiated. This
will be followed 011 March 4 by a
fine banquet in the Commercial
Club diner of Portland, when the
new members and those who
secured them will be guests of
honor.
A. W. Davis, who hns been for
a number of years one of the most
trusted aud reliable assistants in the
O. R. &. N. Railway department
and who lately has been conduct
ing the office for that company in
St. Johns, has become nssoclated
with that well known and hustling
real estate man, J. S. McKinney.
An office will be opened up in the
fine room occupied by the Portland
General Electric Co. on Jersey
street. The new firm will make a
stroug team. Councilman Davis
has ever been a booster and a
pusher for St. Johns, aud anything
lie could do to further its interests
was cheerfully and enthusiastically
done. Thoroughly reliable in every
respect, no man need fear that he
will get the "worst of it" in any
realty deal he may make througl
Mr. Davis, and we know that he
would rather lose a sate than make
one through misrepresentation or
distortion of facts. Mr. McKinney
has long been a leading and most
successful local realty man. Of an
optimistic nature, the world and the
situation always looks cheerful to
"Jerry." Kven in the dullest
months he is there with "the
goods," and if nny one can make n
sale McKinney can. Therefore,
the combination of these two St
Johns pushers means that the realty
business in St. Johns will take on
an impetus and energy such as it
has not known for some time. A
fine list of property has been listed,
and bargains galore may be found
at their establishment when they
arc ready to do business together,
which will be about February 1st.
Here's hoping that the new firm
will make a grand success of the
business, nnd we have no doubt but
that such will prove to be the case.

skating rink Saturday evening wns

The regular meeting of the De
mosthcucs Debating Club was held
Friday. Jan. 31. The question for
debate was as follows: Resolved ,
that nn eight-hour working day
should be established in the United
States by law. On the affirmative
were Howard Brice and Theodore
llugbce, while the negative was
handled by Jerome Whislcr nnd
Ralph Carlson. The debate was
exciting from start to finish ns well
as o icof the speakers. The decision
of the judges was in favor of the
negative. Immediately after, an
open discussion of the question was
held, led by two members of the
faculty.
As the 6 weeks term of the offi
cers had expired, new officers were
elected for the ensuing term as fol
lows: President, Archie Smock;
Vice President, Jerome Whislcr;
Secretary aud Treasurer, Win.
