A move ment was olten under way lust Friday night in the Firemen's hall that hitls fair to become the nucleus of one of the greatest commercial hodles in the entire Northwest. The idea of a commercial club en dowed with new life and energy was fathered at a banquet given by the Whitwood Quarry Co., with M. O. Nease as spokesman, on the loth inst. Word was passed out to a few who were believed might be interested in the formation of a new club, and as a tesult a most representative body of citizens met ut the meeting Friday night. A spirit of progtessivencss. vim and energy pervaded the assemblage, mid nil took hold of the project in earnest. Alderman F. W. Valentine culled the meeting to order, and in suc cinct words stated the object mid purpose of the gathering, and con cluded his remarks by nominating Mayor K. C. Couch as temporary president. No other nominations leing mnde, Mr. Couch was unani mously elected to the position. A. W. Davis placed the name of A.W Mnrkle in nomination us tempo rary secretary. No other name be ing suggested, Murkle wus duly elected. President Couch then made a few introductory remarks, telling of the held here for a live wire organiza tion and the good that could be ac complished. II. C. Pcnnell, a Sail Francisco representative and heavy j stockholder of the St .Johns 1,'tmher . company ,tcing called upon, made , n few helnful remarks, in which he took occasion to state that his com part or wholly. There is no cause, puny would do nil in its ower to 'therefore, for regret Unit Westru assist nuil further the work of the! mite was laid on Jersey street. If organization in St. Johns. lie was it is not right it will be tnnt'.e right, followed by F. W. Valentine, who , There is no other way. All criti told of the old commercial club and cistn und judgment should be sus- whv it failed of its purpose. A W. Duvisnlso told why. in his opinion, the former club passed into oblivion unhoiiored and unsung. Rev.Ket- tenliofcu believed the best boosting could be done with cash und Intel- ligeut effort, both of which were lacking in former organizations Prof. Boyd could see no reason why St. Johns could not have one of the best clubs in the country, if nil would work together. lie told how the Goldendntc, Wash,, club got its start in life and what n nour ishing institution it had now be come. Incidentally he stated that St. Johns, according to the recent census, was the seventh city in the state of Oregon in point of popula tion something few realized. Pe ter Autzen made a few remarks right to the point; that if cash was not in evidence there was no use il 1 going farther; that it took money j toaccompllsh anything worth while. He moved that the chair appoint a I committee of about ten to solicit , funds umoug the business men and citizens of St. Johns. He withdrew this motion, however, before it had lecn put before the meeting. H. C. Schade of the Mount Hood Railway, Light & Power company stated that his company would back up any proposition made looking to the welfare of the city, and thought that with persistent and well directed effort it could be made the second city in population, in stead of the seventh. P, II. Kdlef- sen heartily endorsed the words of the ureceditin speakers and was willing to do all in his power to make a commercial club a success. M, G, Nease favored calling a mass meeting In the near future and se curing the services of Tom Ricli atdson and C. C Chapman of the Portland Commercial club, both of whom had assured him they would attend aud aid in the movement. Afterward a committee could be appointed 'to solicit funds, when en thusiasm had reached the high tide. H. W. Bonham stated that his firm would like to be one of a party of ten who would give ten dollars per month for one year to be used in employing a booster's services for , oue year. A. C. Gesler of Calef ' Bros., aud one or two others offered to do likewise. C. H. Carter, in terested in the Portland woolen mills, also favored invoking the aid of Messrs. Richardson and Chap man; that very little could be ac complished without money; that the start should be made right; that the woolen mill would do its full share toward the enterprise. Law ytr Terry C. Stroud suggested that a committee be appointed to confer with Richardson and Chap man and get pointers and sugges tions as to the best way to start the organizatian right and draft a gen eral outline of just what should be done, after which the mass meeting would be in order. Prof. Boyd moved that a committee of three be appointed for this purpose, and that .they arrauge the. time aud Jersey street, from Catliu to Rich mond, has been covered with Westrumite. The external appear ance, before any heavy traffic is used upon it, makes a beautiful effect. The work, however, is somewhat of a disappointment. Not that Westrumite is nit Inferior pav ing, but because either the rolling was inadequate, or the mixing was not properly done. In places the wearing surface crumbles rather easily where the traffic was nut on too soon and. adherence qualities in tlie.se instances seem lacking to some extent And it takes longer for the surface to harden than most people imagined. Mr. Mud, of the Westrumite company, claims the street is all light with the excep tion of several blocks that may have to be iclaid, and that all the ci eases made by the heavy traffic will iron out and become absolutely smooth, II it is n fact that the Westrumite was properly laid and mixture up to the standard on the Jersey -trect improvement, there is no occasion for alarm or apprehen sion. Westrumite properly mixed and properly laid, is good none better. The activity of competing companies in nu attempt to keep it out of the Northwest mid sparing no trouble or expense in the effort is conclusive evidence that it is a might)' and dangerous rival. All testimony of those who have seen Westrumite in the liust agree that it is the best hard surface pavement ever devised. Therefore, if Jersey street proves unsatisfactory, it will 1 be relaid in part or whole at the ! company's expense. It is a well known fact that the first Bitulith- ic streets laid in Portland were not satisfactory und had to be relaid in pcuded until the materiul has been proven. We believe the people of St. Johns will yet have reason to congratulate themselves upon their display of nerve mid enterprise in having Westrumite laid on its priu- cipal stieet. place for the mass meeting. He also suggested that the assembly room of the high school building, with a seating capacity of 700 op era chairs, might be secured for the purpose. The motion was carried unanimously, und the president im mediately apKinted Messrs. A. W. Davis, Peter Autzen and M. G. Nease to serve in this capacity. Frank Test thought Friday and the thirteenth day of the month was an excellent time to form an or ganization, which be believed an 1'tired success. He heartily favored ti,e proposed organization jremutked t,at tj,e w0oleu mills was kind of lonely down along the water front anti wanted more company in the u-m- of Industrial nlants: that n live nmnmHrii rtiih would move n no. tent factor in securing more smoke stacks in St. Johns. Alderman Horsman told of a relutive of his with a big plant in the Fast who was desirous of locating a like plant in the Northwest, that he had been here and was much pleased with St. Johns. Mr. Horsman believed a good commercial body could land the plant. J.N. Kdlefsen of the Peninsula bank also told of a creo sote manufacturing company that was seeking five or six acres of St. Johns water front for a factory site; thoucht it might be landed with a well directed effort on the part of a representative body. W. M.Tower voiced the sentiments expressed by the others; that he is willing at all times to lend his aid to the fullest extent. The meeting then adjourned, no tice of the next meeting to be given in the Review in ample time. Those present were Mayor Couch Councilmen F. W, Valentine, I). F. Horsman aud Charles Bredeson, A. W.

Hard Surface Completed The hard surface improvement of parts of Philadelphia and Hurl iugton streets with Bltulithlc has been completed In good shape. One of the most skilled crews oi work men in the employ of the Warren Construction company was placed in churge of the work, F.ach man knew just what to do and how to do it without instruction. A day aud a night crew made thingshum, aud it was the quickest piece of work ever seen laid in St. Johns. The great amount of rolling done was a revelation to our people. Heavy rollers were run repeatedly over the surface until it was com pacted as solidly as rollers could compact it. The job looks like oue of the best, if not the best, the Warren Construction compauy has ever put down, and the property owners and city at large has every reason to congratulate itself upon such a high grade piece of work.

After he had made him self known to the teacher in charge she called utxui him for a few re manes to tne pupils. Stepping up to tue blackboard, lie asked any oue in the school to nlve him a number to write on the board. A pupil called out "63," and the visitor wrote on the board "36." Again he culled for a number, and "25" was ottered, which he wrote "52." Seeing a little racced urchin in a back seat he called upon him tor a number. The little fellow without a moment's hesitation, blursted out: "77; now, you thuck- er, change that if you can." 0 . The dictionary class was up aud the word "Lambkin" had been spelled and defined as a "little lamb." It was little Johnnie's turn to spell and the word was "pumpkin." Johnnie's shrill treb- hie rang out clear and confidently: "p-u-m-p pump, k-i-n kin. nuino kin, a little pump." The class went into hysterics and the teacher col loosed, while lohnnie. red faced. dug Ids bare toe into a knothole in the floor as he remarked: "Well, u lambkin is a little Iamb aud I thought -."

Urges More Kissing "If our young people were to kiss more they would be better for it better 111 m and better women. There would be fewer bachelors ami old maids.

Connor Kennedy of the Reform ed Presbyterian Church of Toronto, Canada, and his audience was 200 members of his unique social church union. "Our young men smoke aud chew too much tobacco," he continued, "and our young women use too much chewing gum, They kiss far too little. It is the natural thing for a man aud a woman to kiss. Kissing begets the finer feel ing in a man, and girls should be taught to expect kissing just as they expect marriage."

When we learn of n religious body with which we nre not acmininted.'we nrc like ly to first ask, what is their creed, what tlo they believe? The Latin "Creedo nieanssiniply:"! Iwlicve." On application for nicintiership in nny church, the individual Is re quired to sulwciilH.- faith to the creed of that jmrticular church. It is the mission of Protestants to du plicate the New Testament church. That church has n creed to which faith must be subscribed Inefore otic can become a member. The sim ple confession of faith In Jesus wus the ONLY QUESTION nuked by the New Testament ministry or answered by the applicant for Imp tisin Acts 8; Rom. 10; Matt. 16. Jesus is the personal creed of the New Testament church, not r set of articles of faith which man mnde. To substitute the latter for the for mer, Is indeed presumptuous. To confess Jesus as Lord and submit to His will, was the practice of the early church nud must iw of the latter church. The iterfect Jesus in his life, tenchiug, doctrine, love and i 111 pulse need no levislon. He unifies aud never divides. TIiIm is the creed of the Christian church. Kvcry church has its diciriiue, or rule of faith nnd action. This Is necessary. The one we tie is the New Testament only. To ndd to. this means the plagues written therein is to be added to us: to tnke therefrom, menus our pnrt is to be taken out of the book of life. We need no other book or rule of the church. Who con improve uHit itf to add another is to be (lis satisfied with the doctrine of New Testament and to that it is imiierfect: the jy See TlHf 2 Tim. 3:tf)-i7, its efficiency substitution of the Divine Creed ami Discipline by oue of our own choosing is the root of ilcnomina- liouulisiri.
