We are fully satisfied with the re
port, and to the best of our ability will
advocate the laying of Westruuiite
paving. Having been intimately
associated with Mr. McKcon fo't
several years, we have no hesitancy
in accepting his testimony on thh
subject. His word is as good nt
Ills bond so far as we arc concerned.
He is a man whose convictions
would not be altered by any. influ
ence brought to bear upon it. Pas'
clinl Hill is also so well known to St
Johns folks that his word will be
accepted without question Ilcfort
he saw Westruuiite he favored Hit
ulitliic, and since he lias investigat
ed Westrumitc, he favors it, which
makes it all the stronger for the
latter.
Therefore since the representa
tives, whose testimony the great
majority of the people at least an
willing to accept, believe Westru
uiite to be the best hard surfacing
in existence, let us have Westru
mite. The best is what we want
Then it is better to lend than tr
follow. Hitullthic is good, Westru

Westruuiite which will place St.
Johns in the lead and also aid n

Halt interest in Her establishment to
Miss Flossie Gatchcl, of Lebanon,
Oregon, aud has moved her store
to that enterprising little city. Mrs.
Stucker has been conducting her
establishment in St. Johns for a
little more than three aud a half
years and has made hundreds of
friends by her kitidly, gentle ways,
her bright, cheering disposition and
consistent, faithful Christian life.
Among the vouimer members of
society she is especially a favorite,
entering whole hcartedly into their
work and play as one of them. The
church here will lose one of its
most faithful members, society one
its most delightful entertainers and
the business world of St. Johns one
its most energetic and upright
workers. Iu fact, we may all wear
crepe iu our buttonholes for "Ma"

call her, for she was a friend to all
aud had for each a bright smile . or
hearty hand clasp nud always a

Maple street sewer. The ordinance
providing for 1111 exchange of n stub
of Maple street for nil casement
over the Weyerhaeuser laud for tin
laying of the sewer is up to him foi
his .signature or veto. If he vctoi
it, prospects for the hard surfacing
of Jersey street go glimmering foi
this year. A blind sewer might be
built 011 Jersey street, but it would
take valuable lime to go over nil
the proceedings again, aud'theii wt
do not believe property owuer.s
could be couielled to pay until nu
outlet had been provided. Is nu
cud of n street thnt may not be o(

demnation proceedings at any

the adjoining property owners,
nud nuy land iu the city can be
condemned for street purpose
when it is deemed expedient aud
uecowMiry, we believe. What
would it profit the city if the Wey
erhauuser I.und Co. had offered nu
easement for sewer purposes over
n strip of laud 50 or too feet wide
instead of 6 feet ? A right of way
for sewer is all we want, nud six
feet is plenty at this time. If more
is needed later on, more can be con
demned. What the people want is
u sewer nud Jersey street improved,
sud why hesitate aud haggle over n
small matter that cnu be adjusted

fident thnt Mr. Hendricks will do

The Owls Entertain
By wny of criticism it might be
stated that the Oregotiiau, iu its
splendid special edition last Satur
day, failed to give St. Johns its full
meed of publicity. It did attest,
however, that St. Johns possesses
a saw mill and stove works. A
few more of our leading industries
might have been mentioned without
any harm resulting. But for the
good it will accomplish for the
state at large it will be foriiiven for
the discrepancy this time.
Hon. K. C, Couch, our well
kuowu aud enterprising townsman,
is deserviug of a large slice of cred
it for his effective work iu gettinir
the free ferry bill through the house
and senate. The insight he gained
by being n member of the last leg
islature served him iu good stead,
and he left nothing done to have
the bill passed. It would be im
possible to pick a man iu St. Johns
so well qualified to cuact such a
mission as Mr. Couch, aud his
splendid efforts are fully appreciat
ed by the, general publlic.

That Oregqu will double its pres'

prediction of Dr. Joseph Shafer,

draws interesting parallels between
tlie agricultural states of the Mid
tile West and Oregon, which he
says is now facing a period similar
to that marking the periods of
heaviest settlement iu the Missis

cheap agricultural lauds to be had

She said the world didn't treat her

of the rich man sighed and said.

dangers incident to carrying large

This method enables the busi

of on the premises or about the

A checking account at this bank
