Considerable building in the shape of residences is ' going up at Whitwood Court, Glen Harbor nndJWaldmcrc on the west side of the 'river. The handsome homes of L,. M. Mills and son, W. h., at Whitwood are about completed. They both command a fine view of the river and surrounding country. Tlios. J. Monahan, upon resign ing his position in the contract de partment of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. Monday, was presented with a solid gold watch chain and fob by the employes of the company with whom lie worked. Mr. Monahan has been with the company steadily for about 21 years. He entered upon the duties as postmaster of St. Johns Thurs day. 0 A. Ungcr made n business trip to Mcdford the first of the week. He says the heat down that way was something awful, and it was a diffi cult matter for one to get his breath. While there was a slight breeze blowing, it came iti hot waves and was really worse than if there was no breeze at all. He believes that St, Johns is plenty good enough for him. The old Portland & Suburban F.xprcss depot on' liast Uurliugton street has been removed to the cast side of Wclincr's tlrayagc empo rium to make room for n commo dious warehouse to be used by Don ham & Currier. The new addition is necessary to keep pace with the rapid expansion oi this enterprising firm's business. Preliminary work has already been commenced. 0 The four-year term of F. W. Valentine as postmaster of St. Johns expired Wednesday, and the new P. M., Tlios. J. Monahan, took up the reins Thursday. Mr. Valentine, during his term of office, made an efficient and obliging offi cial. As mi evidence that his work was satisfying to the ostat author ities at Washington, it has been more than a year since 1111 inspector made this office a visit. Few men, if any, are possessed of more friends in St. Johns than Mr. Vnl cntlnc. The postmastcrship is one of the most trying positions imag inable, nud yet he retires from the office with more friends than he had when he was first appointed. He is homcwhat undecided its to his future occupation, but will like ly engage In real estate and Insur ance. For a few weeks, however, he will take u rest nt some seashore resort.

Now if it wasn't for that autocratic law necessitating a license, we ull might go fishing. o One thing in particular that St Johns is lacking is n hospital. The numerous accidents that occur here is positive proof that such an in stitutiou is a necessity in this local ity. A cemetery is also nuothur necessity that might be mentioned. 9 A postcard from II. F, Clark, formerly a business man of this city, but now located at Ilrewer, Maine, states that himself and futility are well, that he is glad to uote thut St. Johns is forging right ahead, and that it is 90 in the shade in his locality. 0 The report lias reached us that Frank Thorudyke died near As toria recently. He was injured by being caught in a printing press at Eugene and never recovered from the shock. He was the youngest sou of V. Iy. Thorudyke, at one time editor of this paper. 0 Several rolls of thunder were dis tinctly heard in St, Johns Wednes day morning. Many children in the city never heard thunder be fore, aud the roars were quite a novelty to them. The older inhab itants were reminded of the thunder storms witnessed in thu Fast in the days gotie by. aro tlio best. 8, slKe 011 Willamette boule-, vara in an automobile, lie was released upon payment of 10.00 bail, which he forfeited by nou-np-, pearauee. A few nrrests every! day along the boulevard would have n tendency to damieu the ardor of speed fiends nnd at the same time be quite n help to the city coffers, ' According to a recent game law I passed by the legislature, it is al- ways unlawful to hunt for game or' fish without a license, or one hour after sunset and one hour before sunrise with u license. The penalty is a fine of 25.00 to $150 and im prisonment. Lovers of fishing with hook aud line should bear this in mind aud be on the safe side by obtaining a license, ltass and salmon trout may be caught any day in the year. Licenses are not transferable, Joseph Grant Eicholtz and Pearl Stauger were united in marriage Monday, July 18, at one o'clock p. in. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. Durham in Kenton, Rev. G, W Nelson of this city officiating. Mr. K. K. Simon served as groomsman and Miss Eliza Durham as brides maid. The wedding dinner was served by Mrs. Durham. The groom is an engineer in the employ of the Monarch Lumber Co. The happy couple will make their home in Kenton.
