There aeenis to lit- n disposition 011 the mii t of .wine of our citizens to compel the St. Johns Lumber Co. to enter into n lease with the city for the tine of tortious of Until ford mid John streets. Our under Standing of it whs that u lease was cntcted into with this company sev eral yents ago for these streets with the purtvosc in view of cleariiitf ami proving the city's title to these streets, not for the purwe of ex acting a monetiirv stiietid from the city's chief iiuhihtry. This wa ac complishel in a most amicable manner on thetwrtof both parties. That point bciitK established be voml all doubt, whv burden the conipiiuy with n further lease ami The St. Johns Commercial club .stipend? We realize the money is has been launched in a most ndmlr- badly needed in the treasury, but able manner. In fact, far exceed- the monthly rental that the major- in the fondest expectations of the ity of tlie council would be willing most ardent booster. The people to exact would help but little.

What more could Ik- and exjiect that the St. Johns com asked? The St. Johns Lumber nicrcia! club will rapidly become a Co. could net nloiiK without St. ' power in the laud, one to be recou Johns, but vice versa the case would j nixed autl considered by the outside not be so promisiiiK. It would be world. The people of St. Johns nullity easv tor tile company 10; nave reaiiy surprised uiemscivcs at Oregon can always be counted upon to do the unexpected. For the first time in years snow fell be fore the 15th of November. There wasn't much of it and it didn't last long, but it was the genuine article all right. It made the newly ar rived Kasterucrs happy, but some of the webfoots thought they were being killed. 1 Hon. A. W. Lafferty. who has made a better fight for Oregon in terests than any congressman ever sent from this state, made an inter esting address in Hiekucr hall last night. He denied in toto the ma lignant charges made against him by opposing political papers. His explanations were so complete and convincing that no doubt was lelt in the minds of his auditors as to his innocence of wrong doing. He is a pleasing scakcr and held the undivided attention of his audience throughout. Those who failed to hear him missed a treat. There is little doubt but Mr. Laflerty will be leturned to congress from the Third district with a larger majori ty than before, and we believe he deserves to be. thin Stories of Success LYMAN J.

It must lw reineinlcred that this com Miiy has set the price of kindling woo'd in St. Johns, and others had to come down to it. If it raised the price it is natuml to believe that other dealers would follow. At least we know of no dealer selling wood chuHer than this couijNUiy at the present time.

Well Received Senator Oore, the blind Senator from Oklahoma, lectured in the James John High auditorium Wed uesday evening, being the second number 011 the Lyceum Course His address was a masterly effort, full of humor ami wit, ami he had the audience captivated fiom the start. The senator has a pleasing delivery, his words were well chosen and his anecdotes fitted iu place like a glove. He favored the nomination of Lafollette ami Wilson as opposing candidates for the presidency, and believed the country would be safe iu the hands of either.
