JOHNS, OREGONr FRIDAY, MAY 20. 1910. i- n Ju no, 28 A "Snow" Squall Burned to Death Mushrooms Not Served Will Buy Water Wagon The Postoffice Situation A-Launching JOHNS REVIEW Editor Review: It Is clear to my mind that the coming comet Is creating perhaps justly a great deal of alarm. It is well known that there was a flood In the days of Noah. I am satisfied that history repeats itself and I believe that Noah was the greatest astronomer of the day in which he lived. First, for the reason that if the Bible be true, he knew what would happen in 120 years and it hap pencd to the day. He evidently kuewfrom his astronomical knowl edge that at a certain time a celeS tlal body would pass between the earth and the sun and he evidently, as an astronomer, knew that in passing, the suu would strike the object passing and would lose its influence upon the earth, and being between the earth and. the suu, and much larger than the suu and pass ing above the poles of the earth and having great attraction, lowered the poles of the earth (to illustrate, five miles). The law of gravity shows clearly to me that water flows 20 miles per hour. Now, in order that water should find its level it required 40 days and 40 nights at the speed above meutioucl and mountains became covered and till humanity was drowned except those protected by Noah's ark. Now all animal life must of nec essity climb higher to avoid drown ing. I am satisfied tliut Noah's ark was situated at the highest point during the flood and all nature crept Into it for self preservation aud the ark floated and for 40 days and 40 nights as the Bible says, all living nature of course went into the ark, two by two, and the flood subsided. If you remember Noah opened the wiudow of the ark'and sent forth a pigeon and in due time the pigeon returned with a leaf in her mouth convincing Noah that the flood had reached its summit, or iu other words the water had found its level aud mountains in the north were submerged aud dry land appeared in the south as a matter of reason. Now this establishes, in my mind conclusively, that Noah's knowl edge of astronomy was as I much superior to the best astronomer of today as 120 years exceeds the ability of the astronomer of today as to what will happen In the fu ture. I am now satisfied that if the coming comet passes the earth beucath the northern pole and ex cludes the attraction of the suu upon the earth, as it necessarily must, and, having greater attraction upon the earth than the sun and draws the earth by its uttractiou to such an extent as to lower tile poles of the earth (five miles to illustrate) the waters of the south will flow for 40 days and 40 nights and the mountains of the north will be sub merged and plains and dry lands will appear iu the south, 'and hu manity is extinct and nature begins again. This is as true as the fact is that if you staud before a heated furnace and place a screening be tween you and the furnace, the screen receives the attraction aud the body opposite exercises its in flueuce; therefore, if the coming body passes between the earth and the sun, the sun's iufluence is absorbed by the body passing and the body's influence iu passing lowers the poles of the earth (five miles, to illustrate) and the north will become more frigid than it-uow is as it shows that it was more tor rid iu Noah's time than now, from the fact that ferns, a tropical !;rowth are found, without dispute, u what is knowu a frigid zone. My judgment as an astronomer, that all humanity ought to take notice and each prepare for himself au ark of salvation, for who knows that the coalBg meteor may not by its attraction lower the north pole, and hence, if it does, the waters of the south seeking their level will produce a dart ruction ot all living matter sot prepared for by some thing equal to Neah's-ark. Now this is only arrived at by following the straight edge ot reason from Noah uato bow is the opinion of B. ,1 Staow, of St. Johns.

Alford, a painter, was burned to death last I-riday afternoon. Alford was at work on the roof of the big plant of the Oregon Wood Distillery company near Whitwood Court station on the United Railways line. He was spraying the roof with graphite, an iuflamablc painting liquid, A spark from the smokestack of the plaut fell on the roof aud in an iustant it was all ablaze. Al ford's clothing had become saturated with the liquid and caught fire. Screaming with pain, he ran, stumbling aud rolling over the roof. So intense was the pain that he was unable to free himself from the rope he had attached to his body to keep hl.11 from slipping from the roof. A hose was thrown to Har vcl Fauuclson, who was working with Alford on a tempo.ery stage below the roof, and in trying to grasp it he fell thirty feet, sustain ing little injury. By the aid of ladders mtfn finally rcichcd the burning painter and with the hose extinguished the fl mi's. The lives of 20 men em ployed iu the wood alcohol distillery were endangered by the fire. Several barrels of alcohol would have blazed up had the fire spread. It was some time uciorc ur. s. M. Maun of Unuton, could reach the scene to administer medical at tention to Alford.

It means that iu the day or week just past no misfortune has befallen any one In our city, that no fire wiped out a neighbor's worldly goods, that the grim angel of death has not crossed the threshold of u friend, that 110 man driven by Honor, hatred or fear has taken the life of fellow human, that no poor devil, haunted by the past, or misdeeds of some other, linK crossed the great divide by his own hand. So the next time you pick up a paper that doesn't announce a tradegy give a little thanks instead of grumbling because there is no news. Exchange.

The one thjng which makes for the prosperity of Portland aud as a matter of course, St. Johns, is the wonderful development aud pros perity of the country tributary thereto.

At Mosicr, a ulost enthusiastic meeting was held Saturday evening attended by about 500 of the citi zetis of Portland, Hoqd ' River, Mosicr and the Dalles. The ob jects of the meeting were two-fold: to discuss the "Good Roads move ment" and to partake of a most dc liciotts banquet prepared by the commercial, citlb assisted by the good ladies of Mosicr.

Tjc company Is willing that their property should bs condemned for street purposes if the immunity clause, is inserted aud their tights hold good as at present. Iu order to endeavor to reach some satisfactory agreement the property owners adjourned to a lower room and selected S. Turner, J'. Scales and H. C.

'1 he fire department requested the use of Ivauhoe street on July 4th for the purposes of a race track, and also that thev be allowed full command of all concessions aud the funds arising therefrom to pay the expenses of the jubilee to be held by them on that day. Request was granted. The bell tower imbroglio aroused much discussion. The attitude of the fire department In first request ing that a hell tower be constructed, aud then after the contract has been let and work upon Its construction commenced, remonstrating against its completion, rather stunned the couucilmen. To make the best of a bad proposition, however they de cided to settle with the contractor and permit the bell tower project to go down into history as au error ot judgment and a delusion and u snare, in spite of the fact that the attorney decided council could go ahead and construct the tower as originally planned without fear of violating or iulriugiug upon tue provisious of the fire ordinance, A request from the fire depart ment for placing the fire bell upon the roof of the city hall was passed up for future consideration. r!ll'.

W. Valentine, the present in cumbent, expires July 1, aud there is no dearth of volunteers to step into his shoes. Congressman Ellis is being constantly besieged with petition!. T.J. Monahanut present seems to be iu the lead. Secure iu promises from potential sources, he has hied himself to Missouri for a month's restful soiourn before as suming the arduous duties devolv ing upon one of Uncle Samuel's postal servants. Iu the event ol) Mr. Monahan s ascension to the postmastcrship, it is currently re ported that Rev. C. P. Gates of the Evangelical church will abandon the cloth1 and take up the duties of deputy. Geo. M. Hall would like very much to be postmaster, but he hates to Intrude. He cannot get the glitter out of his eyes, however, and as soon as Thomas J, is out of the race (if this contingency occurs) George will be found with his plat ter in patient readiness. Like Bar kis, he is perfectly aud ardently "wllllu'." Then there is Postmaster V?''"" tine, who has uot the slightest ob jection to succeeding himself, and as his tenn ol office draws to a close he is warming to the race.

Were Filled With Water Thos. Glover and S. L. Dohic secured more enjoyment out of the comet's scheduled appearance Wed nesday afternoon than most people did.

Adroitly exciting the interest of passersby with a few clever aud .. K a !i . wen siimieu remarks, ine eager one would 'become exceedingly anxious to have "a look." After a little coaxing he was always accommo dated. Grasping the invention he would naturally hurriedly place it to his eyes and glance quickly up to the suu. But he wouldn't sec it. Instead uu avalanche of water would almost overpower him for a moment. The little trick the origi nators had of holding both thumbs tightly over top of each bottle as it was directed upward would be en tirely unnoticed by the unsuspect ing one. But it was a point that should not have been overlooked. Many saw the comet come down iu liquid form, but the joke was to'o I . . . ,t ntf good to cause auger to rise.

Review; Having been by acclamation selected to report for the Mulligan Club, a new organiza tion, its meeting being at a point auove Vancouver; it being an Ore gon organization, I hereby submit the following: 1 he Mulligan Club was organ ized iu the City of St. Johus, May t, toio, aud has no other interest iu view than the best interests of the people at large. Consequently, Sunday moruiug they engaged a competent, well fitted and well qualified gasoline launch to. convey the assemblage to a designated point 611 the Oregon side of tlic Columbia river, where they could be safe in mooring their craft, and ttJaudcd at a point about 13 miles abovcithc Vancouver bridge on the Oregon side. Here the ship's crew unloaded alt of the supplies, con sisting of beefsteak, mutton steak, coffee, tea, or anything else that the guests might require. As soon us the pilgrims saw that the vessel lauded they went ashore and their first act was to erect a flag pole, on which floated Union Forever. Upon the beautiful lawn wc eucam)cd nnd erected at once au Improvised platform upon which orators were introduced aud grave questions were discussed such as "The wisdom of God" iu the. crea tion of the earth and the sea, the same being delivered iu a scholarly manner by one chosen for that pur pose, "Capti, Snow, aud all seemed satisfied with the lecture then de livered.
