The high price of living Is mak ing quite a stir in the world. There is no denying the fact that tilings arc more than n trifle too high. The man who makes $2.00 and pays rent certainly cannot Indulge in many luxuries. It is time that some plan or method he adopted to bring the necessities of life down to a normal level. If something is not done to relieve the pressure, free trade is bound to come, sooner or later. Old man Bennett of Rabbityville fame and publisher of the Dalles Optimist certainly hns "it in" for U. S. Senator Jonathan Bourne. Week in and week out his columns teem with utterances against the senator. No matter what move Jonathan makes Bennett sees some evil design or purpose in it, and he pursues him constantly and venom ously. Just what Bennett has in his "craw" against Mr. Bourne we do not know, but whatever It is it Is deep-seated, undying and ever lasting, and his Innocent readers arc inflicted with a few spitc-staliicd editorials each week derogatory to Mr. Bourne. Wc .have followed Mr. Bourne's course pretty thor oughly since his election, and like President Taft, we can sec little evil In things he docs. Perhaps Mr. Bennett believes he should have been Senator in his stead, or else is playing to be bought ofT. Anyway his readers must get in tensely tired of the baldcrbash he dishes up so constantly against Senator Bourne. As an instance of how the value of property Increases "while we sleep" 111 Portland and vicinity is cited In the case of a sale last week. Half u century ago a man owed an other a week's board bill and the price of a shot gun, and after some discussion induced him to accept a lot in Portland to square the ac count. The new owner of the tot held onto it, however, and while lie never improved the lot in any Just received, a new lot of Go- Carts, Salmond Bros.

MAKE OUR BANK YOUR BANK Remember, when you want GOOD meat that Bitgood & Cole's it the place to get it. An ever in creasing trade is sufficient testimony of the fact that they are giving per fect satisfaction. Nowhere else in 'St. Johns or Portland, for that matter, is better meat sold. The prices are always just right and the meat Is ever fresh, pure and whole some. If you arc not a patron of their market as vet, it will be to your advantage to give them a call.

Such incidents us these briiiK home the fact that the citizens of St. Johns have the same opportunity of miikitiK money in real estate that this mini had. In much less than fifty years there will be lots sold in St, Johns for $250,000, In the Hast it cause of worry is providing for old age in order to escape the poor house when incapacitated for further man ual labor. Here it is different. No young limit need to worry about such a contingency. There is 110 young, able bodied mini here so poor that he cannot secure it lot and pay for it on the installment plan, and we firmly believe that there is not a lot within half a mile of the city hall that will not be worth $25,000 in fifty years, and very few that will not be worth that much in twenty-five years. A young man twenty-five years of age can thus provide for his old age in St. Johns by diverting some of his spending money to real estate for a couple of years, and he will not miss It scarcely. This is not an idle dream. The history of St. Johns will be like unto Portland, only its progress will be much more rapid, b'ifty years ago there were hundreds of lots that could be pur chased for $1000 and less that can not today be nought for S50.000. $100,000 or even $200,000 in the city of Portland. Knowing this, the youth of today in St. Johns have only themselves to blame if they are not wealthy before old age approaches. W. 0. W.
