Much Building Here
Building operations arc in full
sway in St. Johns nud on every
hand arc to be seen structures in
course of construction and just be
ing commenced. The new improve
ments include public buildings,
churches, business buildings and
residences. The latter, while not
so pretentious as are to be found in
Portland, are for the most part
good, substantial homes with mod
ern conveniences, and arc built for
homes and not for speculative pur
poses. The building permits issued so
far this year nearly quadruple those
issued for the same period during
the vear iqoq and indications point
to still Kreatcr development in this
respect, especially if certain negotia
tions now under way reach a suc
cessful termination.
Several new tracts have been
platted and placed on the market
and the sale of lots, while not as
heavy at present as earlier in the
season, is normal with everything
pointing to unusual activity in the
real estate market later on.
The more progressive of the citi
zens are unanimously in favor of
paving the streets and it is the in
tention to improve Fessendcu street
from the city limits on the cast to
the river, a distance of nearly three
miles. The street will be graded,
sewer and water pipes will be in
stalled, cement sidewalks laid and
the surface paved with cither as
phalt or bitulithic.
Jersey street from Catlin to Rich
mond streets, a distance of 14
blocks, will be similarly improved,
and it is the wish of everyone to
have the work completed as soon as
possible.
The total coU of the proposed
improvements and the work now
under way and iu process of com
pletion, which includes the grading,
paving, laying of sewers, water
mains and cement sidewalks, will
aggregate $300,000.
In the building line the structure
that easily attracts the most atten
tion and everywhere receives the
most .favorable comment is the mag
nificeut new high school building,
which U located on a sighUyWoek
short distance from the main
business center of the city and one
block from the city hall. It is
90x114 feet in dimensions, two
stories and basement high, with a
large finished room iu the attic, and
contains 14 large rooms including
the assembly hall, which has a
seating capacity for about 700 pup
ils. The building is of the Call
foruia Mission style of architecture
with exterior of buff-colored cement
pressed brick, has a cement floor in
the chemistry hall, darkroom and
laboratory and is to be heated by
the Plenum ventilating and heating
system. It will have a large gym
nasium in the basement with dress
ing rooms, shower baths and lava
tories iu connection, and is modern
in every respect. Contractors Kel
ley & Mahoney are erecting the
structure, which will cost in the
neighborhood of $50,000 when
finished and fully equipped. The
building is being plastered now and
will soon be ready for the glazing.
The contractors expect to have it
completed by July 15.
Contractors Bickford & Tenant
have nearly completed the repair
work on the Evangelical church,
located on John street between
Ivanboeand Jersey. The church
was raised several feet, a full base
teat put uuder it and minor altera
tions and repairs made on the build
ing itself.
Kerr & Sou, contractors, have
just completed the erection of a
Catholic school building which is
located ou Portland Boulevard uear
Buchanan street. It is a two-story
frame with a full cement basement
and cost about $7,500.
The same firm secured the con
tract for erecting a twoslory frame
building, 30x38 feet in size, jwhich
will be built ou tbe lots adjoiuing
the school for the use of the sisters.
It will be a Colonial style structure
containing 13 rooms, will have a

A Red Letter Day
Next Monday is to mark a red
letter day iu the history of St.
Johns, The glorious Fourth wilt
be celebrated on a scale never be
fore attempted here. Thousands
of visitors will come to our beuuti-
ful little city, as much to view the
surroundings and genera! lay of the
laud as to enjoy the program of
events prepared for their benefit.
All shapes, sizes and conditions of
people will mingle with us the old
man, the middle-aged, the youth
and the children, the grandmother,
the old maid, the widow, the young
women, the girls, the lover and uis
sweetheart all will come prepared
to enjoy the Nation's -birthday to
the fullest possible extent. And it
behooves the people of St. Johaa to
see1 that they leave our city highly
impressed with the courtesy, and
hospitality extended toward them.
And we know they will be.
The program of the day s events,
with a few minor details yet to be
worked out, is complete and should
prove a source of pleasure to one
and all. The committees have
worked faithfully, and while the
details of the work necessary to
make a celebration a success were
new to many of them, they have all
done well, and the fourth day of
July, 1910, should pass into history
as the brightest and most enjoyable
one that St. Johns has ever known.
May it be so.
Fine Entertainment
The entertainment given at tbe
Electric Mouday night was particu
larly fiue. An additional feature
was a ventriloquist of marked
ability, aud his voice throwing was
truly marvelous, A dummy act,
in which the statue was made to
go through various stunts, was
highly amusing, and tbe climax'
was reached when the "dummy"
walked off the stage a man. Lit
tle Georgia Bilyeu most pleasingly
rendered a vocal selection that was
received with appreciative applause.
She has a very sweet voice and if
she improves with age, will make
her mark in the musical world.
The moving pictures were excellent
especially so "The CliS Dwellers"
aud "The Princess and Peasant."
The scenery displayed in both in
stances was superb. Tbe bouse
was crowded to its utmost capacity
all the eveniug. When it cornea to
enterprise and keeping in touch
with and securing the very latest
and best productions, the Electric
is ever "Johnny oa the spot."

Death of Mrs. McKeon
Mrs. Louise Amelia McKcon de
parted this life Thursday, Juttc 14
iqio, at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. H. G. Ogdcn, at Daytou, Ore
gon, after an illness of several
months. She had been gradually
failing for some time, .and the end
was not unexpected. Old age,
coupled with Bright's disease, was
responsible for her demise.
Mrs. McKcon was born at To
ronto, Canada, January ay, 1830
and early in life removed to Clcve
land, Ohio, where she was united
in marriage with Robert McKcon,
who died a few years later. She
then removed to Mason City, Iowa,
where she resided a number of
years, after which she removed to
Graceville, Minn., where she spent
seven or eight years. About five
years ago she came to St. Johns,
where she resided up until a few
mouths preceding her death.
The subject of this sketch was
one of God's noblest creations.
Endowed with a sweet, cheerful
and optimistic disposition, she car
ried sunshine wherever she went.
Cultured, refined and thoroughly
humane, the chicfest pleasure of
her life was to make the rough
places smooth for the unfortunate.
Her sympathetic nature and gentle,
loving ways cheered the broken in
spirit and comforted those in dis
tress. The life of Mrs. McKeon
throughout was most beautiful.
Never discouraged, never dis
heartened, she ever sought the
brighter side. Her love for her
children was boundless as the
ocean. A mother of five children
herself, she took seven others to
raise, all of whom became an honor
to her as well as themselves.
To know her wan to love her.
Her pleasing and congenial manner
captivated and held all who came
in contact with her, and her friends
were legion. Mrs. McKeon attained
the ripe age of four score years,
and up until a few months before
death came she was as active and
agile as most people at fifty.
in the passing of Mrs. McKcon the
world is much the loser, but it was
made brighter, purer and better in a'
degree at least by reason of her
having lived in it. A member of
the St. Johns Congregational
church at the time of her death,
she was a consistent and conscien
tious Christian alt her life. Death
to her had no terrors, and when the
call came to leave this vale of tears,
she was reudy to meet her Maker
face to face.
Her work is finished, her mission
is ended, her course is run, and the
Almighty has taken unto himself
this beautiful character that he per
mitted to remain for a season upon
the earth for tbe earth's good.
The death of Mrs. McKeon was
a particularly sad blow to her son,
R. W.. to whom she was his con
stant companion and friend. With
a consideration and love tor 111s
mother that was singularly touch-
tag, the passing away is keenly felt
by him.
The remains were conveyed to
Cleveland, Ohio, for- intermeut,
which took place June 34th, her
two sole surviving children, Mrs,
H. G. Ogden and K. W. McKeon,
accompanying all that was mortal
of Mrs. McKcon to its last restiug
place.
At the Stock Yards
Recelots at this market for the
week are as follows: Cattle IQ49,
calves 178, bogs 1396, sheep 6145,
horses and mules 14. Among the
arrivals were a good many cattle of
rather poor quality which bung op
several days before being sold.
However, there was a very ready
sale for all stuff of good quality.
especially in the line of cows and
calves. Arrivals in omer lines
were liberal though in tbe matter
of hoes a scarcity has been felt.
The cattle market may be quoted

Council Proceedings
Council convened as usual Tues
day evening with all members as
sembled, and the hour of midnight
arrived before the session conclud
ed. The first matter taken up was
a petition for the improvement of
Bradford strcetj Richmond to Fcs
senden, the roadway to be covered
with decking 6x4 inches aud a six-
foot wooden walk ou the eastern
side only. The engineer was di
rected by resolution to prepare the
necessary plans and specifications
for the improvement as asked for.
This improvement is a most im
portant one, and it is believed it
will go through without a remon
strance.
A petition for a fire hydrant at
Portland boulevard aud Newton
street, presented by the St. Clem
ents parish, was read aud the re
quest granted. '
The engineer reported that tnc
bid of L. Scybold for the construc
tion and relaying of the Philadel
phia street sewer, or District No.
was below tnc engineer s esti
mates. Upon motion Mr. Scybold
was awarded the contract.
The bid of P. J. Peterson & Co.
on the Maple street sewer, accord
ing to the report, exceeded Ins es
timate by almost $3,000. The
engineer recommended that the
estimate be raised ten per cent aud
be readvertised, as no provision
had been made for delayed pay
ment Upon motion rcudvcrtlsc-
mcnt of same was ordered, upon the
uew estimate.
As the Weyerhaeuser Lumber
Co. had refused to allow the Muple
street sewer to run through their
property as proposed by council, it
was decided ou a four to three vote
to condemn a strip sixty feet wide
from Maple street to the harbor
line for street purpose:!, Council-
men Hillcr, Windle, Johnson and
Cook favoring the proposition, and
Davis, Downey and Dobie voting
in the negative. It is believed that
the company will agree to the
sewer proposition rather than have
a strip of ground taken for a use-
mm.ii Hlrt.
A representative of the Oregon
Hassam Paving Co., Geo. M. Hy-
land, was present and gave a very
interesting dissertation ou the
merits and longevity of hassam
paving
The improvement ot roik street,
Willamette boulevard to Crawford
street, was accepted by council. '
A directory resolution was adopt
ed ordering the city engineer to
prepare the necessary data for the
improvement of Oswego street,
Barton's Addition, to tiie county
road. Also for the improvement
of Willis boulevard, St Johus avenue
to Bruce street.
A petition for the improvement
of Hayes street, Richmond to the
Weyerhaeuser tract was laid on tiie
table indefinitely ou account of the
property not standiug for the assess
ment, Johnson, Davis and Dobie
objecting, however. They believed
it better to lessen the amount 01
crushed rock aud otherwise reduce
the expense in order that the im
provement could go through.
Tue improvement 01 norm 1 van-
hoe, Catlin to Weyerhaeuser tract,
received the same treatment for a
like reason.
The engineer was directed bv
resolution to furnish estimates, etc.,
on grade and sidewalk for Fessen
den street. Edison to the East city
limits, and also for bard surface of
the street from Willis boulevard to
Edison street.
A resolution to improve Leonard
street Chicago to New York, was
adopted aud may be found iu this
issue.
Bills to the amount of $111.15
were allowed,
A bargain in tbe shape of a type
writer and desk having come to the
notice of council, an order was given
for their purchase at a stipulated
price of $100 for both.
Mrs. Sadie Carter of Wilmington,
Kansas, is a guest at the home of
L. B. Wilson on Jersey street. She
had been spendiug tbe past couple
of mouths at Long Beach, Cal., but
says she greatly prefers St. Johns
to tbe California climate, wliere it
mot vorv Hrv and warm. She Is
so greatly impressed with this sec
tion that she is considering selling
her possessions in Kansas and be
coming a resident of this favored
clime.
- 0 -Say,
have you started to use
printed back envelopes descriptive
of St. Johns? If not, why not? It
is a duty you owe as a citizen ot bt.
Johns. It tells "the story of St.
Johns' greatness. No other city of
its size in tbe wboie world can
make as fine showing, You ought
to be proud of tbe fact.

Remodeling Finished.
A Mcintosh of Portland has
been awarded the contract for paint
ing the big Government dredge
ciunook, tiie remodeling of which
is about completed at the plant of
the Marine Iron Works. Arrange
ments have been made for placing
her on the dry dock this week when
other work below the water Hue
witl be done.
Every indication is that the work
of remodeling the dredge will be
completed by August 1, says the
Telegram. Immediately alter be
ing put iu shape she will go into
service at the mouth of the Colum
bia river to assist in deepening the
ship channel. The work of rebuild
ing her was started February i , the
contract price being $133,000. The
job was supposed so have been com
plctcd iu four and one-half months,
but owing to numerous minor alter
ations ordered iu the specifications
after operations were underway the
time has been extended and the to
tal cost of making a model dredge
out of her will probably run up to
$130,000.
Congress set aside $300,000 for
the remodeling and maiutaiuaucc of
the Chinook. Consequently there
will remain a fund of $60,000 for
her operation, a sufficient sum to
keep her in continuous commission
about eight months. In addition
the rivers aud harbors bill 'now
before congress includes another
50,000 for placing in the dredge's
operating funds which will be ade
quate to keep her iu service for
more than a year. formerly it
it cost $10,000 a month to operate
the dredge. With the present
changes it is estimated that the ex
pense will not amount to more than
$6000 a mouth.
She will carry a crew of 45 as
against the 75 met! it formerly re
quired to handle her. All of her
unnecessary superstructure lias
been cut away, reducing the dead
weight 600 or 700 tons and permit
ting the removal of 1300 tons of
ballast. Formerly she had a draft
of so feet light aud 35 feet loaded.
But after being relieved of .a good
sized cargo she will draw only 16
feet light and so feet loaded, which
will make it possible for her to op
crate iu shoal water without waiting
for high tide.
The cutting away thcsupcrstriict
tire necessitated the dropping of the
dredge mnchiuery and dock fittings
to the lower decks. She has been
so arranged that her gate-operating
gear can be bundled by machinery
instead of by baud. With the ex
ception of their outer shells the four
mammoth boilers have been rc
moved throughout. Two of them
weigh 65 tons each aud the other
two 45 tons apiece. These have
been comp1etcd,staud!ug the hydro
static test. Four oil tanks of a cap
acity of 3ooo tons are being installed
It is said that the changes made to
her gear aud the substitution
of oil for coal as fuel will be the
means of cttttiug down her crew to
about half the number she carried
when last in commission.
Associated with the Marine Iron
works iu the contract arc Charles
Macheu, of the Vulcan Iron Works,
who has made a specialty of ship
buildiug for years, and Fred A.
Ballin.consultiug engineer and naval
architect of many years' experience
in buildiug and designing all types
of vessels.
The Chinook was built at Bel
fast about 30 years ago. She was
theti known as the Mohawk and
she was used iu the cattle trade.
During the Spanish-American war
she, with three of her sister ships,
was purchased by the United States
government. The Mohawk was
converted at Bath, Maine, into the
transport Grant. In 1903 she was
turned over to the Uuited States
engineers and made into a suction
dredge for use at the mouth of the
Columbia river. For this purpose
large bius were constructed iu the
former cargo space, one forward
and the other aft of the machin
ery. Two powerful centrifugal dredg
ing pumps, driven by triple ex
pansion engines were installed,
which suck the sand through 30
inch pipes from the bottom of the
ocean and discharge it into the
bins. In making the change from
a transport to a dredge nothing was
removed from the ship except that
which was directly in the way,
leaving all the heavy superstructure
and cabin undisturbed. Iu this
condition the steamer was topheavy.
In addition to her water ballast it
was found necessary to place 1300
tons of rock au'd iron in ber to keep
tbe vessel on an eveu keel.
At the Graham boatyards at
Portland a .is-foot gasoline lauuch,
which will serve as a tender for tbe
Chinook, is under construction,
She will be christened tbe Mohawk
and she is expected to skim over
tbe water at a rate of 14 miles an
hour.
vviiuam Aiornoit is cmcf engin
eer of the Chinook, and he has had
charge of her engine-room since
the government decided to convert
her into a dredge. George H.
Dunbar, master, has also been on
the craft, for a number of years.
Church Dedication
The dedication of the St. Clem
ents Catholic church takes place
July 4th at 10 0 clock, a. 111. The
Most Rev. A. Christie, Archbishop
ot Oregon, will perform the dedica
tion ceremony aud preach the ser
mon. Solemn Pontifical High mass
will be sung by the Rt. Rev. Msgr.
Rauw, the Vicar General, of the
Archdiocese of Oregon. The choir
of St. Mary's Cathedral, Portland,
will sing and there will be n large
delegation of clergymen from all
over the Archdiocese iu attendance
upon the ceremonies. It is ex
pected that delegations from all the
city parishes in Portland will be
present to swell the throng.
The building is known as a com
bination style, now popular in the
growing cities of this country, it
being arranged for school and
church so as to accommodate the
parish for present needs both lor
church and school. This allows op
portunity for growth, aud when
conditions warrant, a large and
artistic church structure can be
built to better advantage than
would be the case if one were to
go ahead and'hulld or attempt to
build such a permanent building at
the very start of n new parish, The
buildings now completed arc the
school and church and the paroch
ial residence. The cost of these is
about thirteen thousand dollars. The
excavation has been completed and
foundation begun for the erection
of an eleven room convent building
for the school sisters who will have
charge of the school. The school
will open iu September. Cost of
convent will be about thirty-five
hundred dollars.
Commencement Week
Commencement Week exercises
of the St. Johns High School were
highly interesting aud entertaining.
The baccalaureate address was
given by Rev. F. N. Saudifer iu
the Baptist church Sunday evening,
June 10th. It was a splendid effort
and was well received by his hear
ers. The reception for the Seniors
took place in the high school build
ing 'luesday evening, June 31, aud
the class day exercises were held
the following eveniug iu the Bap
tist church. On Thursday evening
the Commencement exercises were
held in the Baptist church, Rev.
Luther R. Dyott delivering the ad
dress. The programs prepared aud
executed for class day and com
mencement were unusually interest
ing aud were thoroughly enjoyed
by the audience.
Purloined a Bicycle
A dope fiend was gathered in by
the police drag net last week aud
he was iu u terrible condition.
There was scarcely a piece of his
anatomy as large as a dime that did
not bear tiie marks of the "squirt
gun," He was sent to Portland
where he was given sixty days on
the rock, pile as an aid iu recupera
tion. It was discovered afterward
that he had picked up City Treas
urer Kellogg's bicycle which was
lying upon the city hall lawn for a
few minutes while the owner wus
transacting business inside. The
dopey one took the wheel to Shauk-
laud s repair sliop 011 rniiuueipiua
street, where he realized $5.00 up-
011 it. Another charge will likely
be lodged against the fiend wheti
his rockpile days are over.
Mrs. Julia M. Parker, who has
made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. W. E. Swengel, ever since
she came to St. Johns, will depart
tomorrow eveniug 011 the steamer

Real estate on the west side of

The coming of the big seminary ou

A Modern Structure
C. G. Woodhouse of Republic,
Wash., is having plans completed
for a two-story brick business
block which will extend from the
Central hotel building on Philadel
phia street to Ivanhoc street, cover-
ing 50x100 feet iu space. The
structure will be thoroughly mod
ern throughout. A full basement
will be excavated with cement sides
aud floor. This will be used as a
barber shop, Turkish baths, etc.
The first story will contain four
store rooms, 35x50 each. The
second story will be devoted to a
modern and finely appointed lodge
tall. The foundation of the build
ing will be strong enough to sup
port two more stories a little later
on. unc of the latest and most
approved heating systems will be
ustallcd, and the structure through
out will be composed of the very
best material that can be secured.
The new business block will be n
most welcome addition to St. Johns.
and will replace a row of small
squatty buildings that now grace
one of the principal thoroughfares
of the city.
A Novel Idea
C. C. Currin of the North Bank
Pharmacy, with his usual enter
prise, has invented n novel feature
for July !.ith. It is iu the shape
of Sweet Pea Day at the Pharmacy.
All growers oi tins sweet smelling
plant arc invited to bring bouquets
to his store for that day, where they
will be placed ou exhibition aud
adjudged as to their size and vari
ety of colors. Prizes will be given
n both instances. Mayor J. F.
Hendricks, F. P. Drinker and ve
editor have been selected as judges.
frizes will also be given for the
best photographs of these flowers,
cither growing or picked. Five
prizes will be given ou photographs,
ranging from $5 to $1. The novel
idea should excite considerable in
terest, because these fragrant flow
ers grow in profusion aud iu great
variety of colors iu St. Johns. Re
freshments from the fountain will
be freely given to the ladies 011 that
day.
The store of Davis & Galues ou
Jersey street was entered last week
by a burglar nud over $100 secured
from the safe, which was forced
open. Entrance was effected through
a side window. No clue leading to
the discovery of the robber has so
far been unearthed.
W. E. Swengel made n flying
trip to Mosier iu the interests of
