One of the finest tracts of land
ever platted out in St. Johns will be
placed on the market within the
xt few dayd. It is what is known
as the old Smith place, and is
located at the foot of Oswego street
on the county road, and parallels
the street car line its entire length,
from which it is only two blocksi
The 1910 Real Estate Co. has
secured this tract of 22 acres, and
will at once convert it into lots and
place theurupon the market. The
price per lot will run from $350 up
ward, all lots being 50x100. The
easy payment pjan will be adopted
on the tas loTs. which the tract
will comprise. The sum of five dol
Inrs down and five dollars per1
month, (a plan ihat at one time
was very common in St. Johns, but
in late years out of the question)
will secure a lot. This will give
the laboring nan a chance he will
likely sever get again in this city,
and it is a foregone conclusion that
the lots' will go like hot cakes on a
frosty morning. All the streets
will be carried right through the
tract and they will be improved as
rapidly as possible. The lots all He
admirably for building sitcund the
prices are as low or lower than any
in St. Johns at lite present time
The contracts of sale contain scv
cral features that should prove
especially desirable and attractive
to the burchaser. R. O. Brand is
general manager and president of
the company, W. A. Martin vice
president, G. I. Brooks secretary
and J. B. Holbrook treasurer.'
A Delightful CUme
The weather In St. Johns the
past mouth or so could not "have
been finer. While, reveling -in 4he
beautiful sunshine here Sunday
perusing the news of the cold,
frosty and disagreeable weather in
a number of, the eastern states as
depicted iu the city dailies, the peo
ple had a chance to realize more
fully how fortunate they are to re
side in a community . where1 such
weather is upknown at this season
of the year. Wc all murmur some
during a long stretch of wet and
disagreeable weather in the whiter
season, but taking the whole year,
through there is no place iu Uucle
Sam's domain where more ideal
weather conditions exist. Even
California, where the sun shines to
a greater degree in the winter1' sea
sou, is not iu ourclass, because the
parched ground and intense heat in
summer over balances the gain
made in winter. With the beauti
ful flowers, highly perfumed blos
soms aud glorious sunshine abound
ing, the people of St. Johns may
well consider that their lot is, in
deed, cast in pleasant places, espec
ially so In the gladsome, spring
season.

By virtue of a resolution pub
lished, in this issue, which was
adopted at the adjourned meeting
of council last Thursday uieht.
Fessendcn street is now legally
seVenty feet wide from Jersey
street to the cast city limits. Its
improvement is now in ordcf and
should be pushed with all possible
dispatch. The trolley company
seems very reluctant to draw up a
franchise giving them the right to
remove their poles to the side of
the street. The city attorney has
requested this document from their
attorney, but it is still not forth
coming, It seems that the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Co.
is not as anxious for the improve
ment of Pessenden street as might
be the case, and it is likely that
strong pressure will be necessary
before they .will come through with
the needful ordinance. It is a cry
ing shame that this nice weather is
slipping along aud the street is
held in abeyance.
Pleased With St. Johns
Vincent Lcdman of Doisc, Idaho,
formerly of Wisconsin, was a truest
of his old comrade, A. T. Boldou,
for a couple of days the past week.
Mr. Lcdman is n veteran of the
late Spanish waf, and he and Mr.
Boulcn served together in the 4th
Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry It
has been twelve years since the two
have seen each other. Mr. Lcdman
is highly pleased with St. Johns,
and it is his intention, after a short
visit to Eugene,' to return to Boise,
sell off his holdings and become a
citizcu of St. Johns.
Good Man on the Job
Kx-Chief of Police J. II. Black is
now one of the most trusted patrol
men on the Portlaud police force,
having accepted the position a cou
ple of mouths ago. No more trust
worthy, faithful aud efficient officer
could be found anywhere, and
Chief Cox is. to be congratulated
upon securing the services of Jos
eph. The wprk evidently agrees
with him admirably, because he is
putting ou flesh at a very swift rate.
Visits St Johns
J. 8. Ray and wife of Salt Lake
City have been speuding the past
week at the home ol tlieir daughter,
Mrs. A. W. Davis on Kellogg
street Mr. Ray is owner of the
famous Rye Patch mine in Nevada,
which is just now holding public
attention ou account of the richness
aad depth of the ore that has been
revealed. It is likely that Mr. Ray
will carry away with him title to
some of St. Johns' most valuable
real estate.
No Finer Anywhere
Many visitors to St. Johns are
surprised at tbe elegance of the at
tractions that are daily being put
on at tbe Electric theatre. They
claim they have been, unable to see
any better anywhere they have
been, either in city or country, The
fact of the matter is, there are none
better, and the .management is to
be commended for giving the peo
ple of St. Johns the best there is
going.
Let Others Follow
The two drag stores of our city
are doing more to keep St. Johns
trade from going to Portland than
any other agency. They are get
ting right down to bed reck in the
way of prices, aud.it is foolishness
to attempt to get better prices in
Portland. If some other branches
of bnsinesa would adept the same
tactics . the street car company

Apprentice wanted at the Vogue
'Jewmeaeeyi
D. N. Bycrlec of this city, who
is very fond of mushrooms ntid has
given the subject considerable study,
ou his way home to dinner Thurs
day of last week saw a few fine
specimens of what he took to be
an edible variety known-as "Fawn-
colored Plutcus." He gathered two
ot the nicest, and ate a bite ns he
proceeded aud placed the balance iu
a uisn witli a little salt for supper,
They were fried and eaten about
seven o'clock. A little later in the
evening he went to prayermccting
at lite (Jiiristiau cuurcli, aud during
tnc meeting lie began to feel queer,
had slight' vertigo, and noticed that
when he placed his index fingers
together lie could not hold them in
place on account of a slight jcrkiug.
After prayermccting he, went home
and to bed after using warm water
cmcsis. Dr. Carey was summoned
and arrived at 1 1. Thorough vom
mug was at once induced ana was
followed by a large dose of castor
oil. An iujectiou was then made,
in patient's arm, of atropine sulph.,
and at 13 the patient felt so much
better he was allowed to go to sleep,
all the family retiring but otic.
Conditions were carefully watched
as to pulse, pupilary dilation and
jcrkiug.
At 1 a. m. the pulse hud risen
from Co to 115, pupils were contract
cd and arms were icrkiuir slightly
Patient was aroused with some dif
ficulty, a period of slight delirium
following. Atropine was ncain
given patient as before. The family
was aroused aud at their request
Dr. Vincent called in couuscl.
Patient felt that his cud had come,
aud death was closing iu on him
like stone walls from the sides aud
pressing up from beneath: mouth
felt "dry as a bone." ' Arthur Cofe
called in and as he stood in the
doorway the patient recoguixed him
by His voice, could distinguish the
outline of a tuau, but it had grown
so dark to t.hc patient that although
Mr. Cole stood iu the full glare of
the electric light his features were
undistinguishable, and the sound of
those about the bedside seemed a
loug way off. At 1 115 a. in. a pow
erfulheartstimulant was given, pulse
was 118. Atropine was again given
at ins. rinse, iso. i'upils were
dilated partially. At 1 us another
dose of heart stimulant was given
followed at 2 a. hi. by. last dose, of
Atropine.
This hour, from 1 to 2 was a
race with death. During the most
of it the patient was giving last ad
monitions to family aud friends and
bidding them goodbye, though very
calm in voice through all. Kach
dose of medicine was urged by
alarming symptoms, threatening
convulsions aud collapse. At two
pulse was back to lis, and at 3, to
100. Another full dose of castor
oil was then given, also a cup of
strongcoifee to keep patient awake.
At four strong coffee was again giv
en, aud patient was deemed suffi
ciently out of danger to be left, he
saying he felt neither pain nor weak
ness. He wanted to go to work
that morning but this was counseled
against, aud orders were left to
keep him awake till noon, He
went to work next day, and feels
but little evil after effects.
The species of mushroom eaten
was the brown Amanita Phaloides,
but the specimens were very differ
ent in appearance aud answered to a
nicety the description of the fawn
colored Pluteus. The taste of the
mushroom eaten, the patieut says,
was much like fresh chestnuts and
gave no warning of the deadly pol
sou it contained, The antidote is
Atropine, and gionoiu was civeii to
sustain tbe heart. Iu case of mush
room poisoning, the first few mo
ments after its discovery are most
precious. The stomach is bus
ily putting the poison into the
blood and this should be stopped
by persistent vomiting aud a large
dose" of castor oil given as first
aids to the physician who should be
immediately summoned, While
the poison Js slow to manifest its
E rescue, requiring from six to nine
ours afterdating, it is swift and
sure after it docs make itself knowu.
The patient's first symptoms were
undoubtedly from the bite he ate
at noon and unquestionably saved
his life; for the severe attack at 1
o'clock was, just as logically, the
effect of those eaten at supper, and
had there been no previous warning
of the patient' scohdition and nothing
done to counteract the effect of the
poison until tbe family had been
aroused by the convulsions of the
patient, as would theu have been
tbe case, it would have been too
late. The, patient changes slightly

thyself," to "JCnow thy mush

matters received attention.
mr. moss ot Jitirr street com
plained that the water company re

residence, although the pipe line
was only 75 or 80 feet away. This
matter has been before council some
time during the dim and dusty past,
but it seems that no adjustment of
the matter has been arrived nt. The
water and light committee was in
structcd to ascertain if the matter
could not be settled satisfactorily to
an conccrucu.
Ben Hoover of the cnclnccrine
department, asked for and was
granted a raise in salary to $55.00
per monin, with the assurance of a
$5-oo additional raise in two
months provided he devote" eight
hours per day exclusively to the
city's business. Bcu readily acceded

Only One Gone Wrong
The Bachelors' club will hold its
first annual dancinc party in the
skating- rink the evening of May
4th. Weinberger's orchestra will
urnish music for the occasion. The
public generally is invited to at
tend. Admission 50 cents. During
the twist year the club has lost only
one member, who was ostracised
for committing the crime (?) of
matrimony. The obsequies atteud-
ng his dismissal from the inner cir
cle are said to have been somethiug
fierce. Two other members are
expected to take the same plunge
within the next couple of months.
For particulars, see Adam.
Be Sure You're Counted
Has the census enumerator taken
your measure yet? If he hasn't,
be sure that he does not overlook
you. Not a ntau, woman or child
should fail to get counted. Every
one helps to swell the population of
St. Johns, and the larger, the city
the more attention it will attract
from the outside world. The local
enumerators expect to conclude
their labors here by the middle of
next week. If you have been
missed, see him if possible, aud be
numbered. It will not hurt much.

The local assembly of the United
Artisans held A notable session in
Bickncr hall Tuesday evening of
this week. The occasion was the
closing event of a six weeks' cam
paign for new members.
The assembly has been vcrv suc
cessful in their work and added 37
new members to their roster during
the effort. This was fittingly cele
brated by a most delicious banquet
provided and prepared by the lady
Artisans and their helpers. It is
enough to say that there has seldom
been such a delectable spread at a
fraternal banquet in St. Johns, and
St. Johns societies arc noted for
the quality of .their feasts. Roy
Hall and his faithful, able assistants
arc deserving of highest praise for
this feature of the evening's enter
tainment. There were about 75
Artisans present, aud all were fed
to repletion,
Iu tnc early evenimr there were
initiations, three fine, husky young
men and two pretty young ladies

Nine Are Indicted
The indictments rendered by the
grand jury against nine of our citi
zens alleged to have been .concerned
in the so-called Hindu ,riot several
weeks ago, were made public Mon
day night. The names of the, ones
designated are: J. F. Hendricks,
O. R. Downs. G. W. Dunbar,
Geo. Etheridce, Gordon DlckeV.
Ray Van de Bogard. John N'.
Groves, Milton linger and Dan
Herrold. The charges tun all
the way from standing guard to
robbery and assault aud battery.
The" charge against Mr. Hendricks
is fullure to do his duty by quelling
the riot or commanding the rioters
to disperse. We are convinced that
these charges arc without the
proper foundation and that the
mayor tried to do his full duty to
the best of his ability. We nrc
satisfied that when the facts hi the
matter arc bared to public gaze
