THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW BY A. W. MARKLE FablklMd Bti7 Friday At 117 West Burlington Street Tirx Rxvixw it entered at po't office In Saint Johns, Oregon, as tnnil matter f the second claa under the Act of Con gress of March J, 1879. Mattel Hnriftrw of Us OUT of M. Jaan. 11.00 per Inch par month. Ait Subiorlptlon prto $1.00 par year. Since there is a probability tlint this city will consolidate with Port land some time this year, would it not be wise to look well into the things needed here in the way of public improvement? Now is the time to help ourselves. Wc should know what wc need and proceed nt once to obtain it, always remem bering that whatever wc bond for Portland will pay the principal. By consolidating with Portland wc as sume almost $15,000,000 indebted ness (Auditor Barbour's statement) from which wc will secure no more benefit than if wc remain St. Johns. Therefore, it would be wise to bond up and be on equal terms. A side track to the city dock, n public park, a wagon road to Swifts, n cemetery, more hydrants, more lights aud other utilities should be secured. Alblna "loaded up" before it became part of Portland, and why not St. Johns? If the supreme court's decision is against annexation, long before the bonds become due wc will have become part of Portland anyway. The in terest is nil wc need concern our selves about in any event. Wc have not yet prepared ourselves to become part of n heavily bonded city. Congressman A. W. Latterly, of the second Oregon district, litis been allotted the following seeds by the department of agriculture for free distribution during 191a: 20,000 nnckaaes of vegetable seeds, 2,000 packages of flower seeds.

Such as using partiality in mentioning visitors, giving news about some folks nud leaving out others. It simply prints all the news it can find. Some people inform It about such things and others do not. An edi tor should not be exacted to know the names nud residences of nil your uncles, aunts aud cousins. Tell us nil nbout them. Its news Hint mnkes the newspaper, nud every tnuti, womnti and child can become nssocinte editors if they only will. 0 The glorious Fourth passed off In n "safe aud sane" manner in bt Johns. Kxcenting n picnic nt Ncwnort station by the St. Slants lutis society of Alblna, no celebra tion was held. The small boy was able to get his fire crackers ns usti al. anil was, therefore, most supremely happy.

IRON MORE WORK LESS Uvery woman who has tried one knows that the week's Ironing can be finished in one third less time with mi electric iron than with any of the old fashioned sad-irons. F.lcclric irons abolish the many weary steps, hard work nnd petty inconveniences that make .td-irutiiug n drudgery. The smooth, glossy finish of the clothes is convincing evidence of the superior quality of workmanship possible only with electric irons. Call nt the "Klectric Store," 7th and Alder.
