The fire department of St. Johns is one of the iiiiMtt efficient in the country, and have ever shown nu eagerness and willingness to get to a fire in the slioitent sNtcvof time, whether they ImpH!iitl to be dressed in their best clothe or not. How many thous ands of dollurs have been saved through their untiring efforts can not be estimated. This money will unable them to employ a man to look after the upparatitK in good shape without iitiMMiiig iiM)ii some uieiu hur and will aid in replacing ruined ulothinu at time of fire. Oregon City, with a smaller imputation, Kiy the department $285 peruioiith. lrew cities the sieof St. Johns jmy lutjs than f 100 ier mouth toward maintaining an efficient fire dcKirt moiit. The lioys are worthy of the "raise," and we aie glad they have secured it. t Christian Church The I.eup Year social given at the home of Mrs. M. O. Oversteeet lat Monday evening by the Young Muu's class of the Christian Ilible school was undoubtedly the great U mectm socially of any given during the mouth. The girls were n little timid at first when it enme to asking the lioys for favors, but thoy soon got over that. The young ladies have promised to go one better at their next enter tainment; everyone should keep on the lookout for it so hs nut to miss nn opportunity i-f being present. 1 lie young men held their bust nut meeting 1 uesday evening, at which time they elected au entiiely new set ot otneers tor the ensuing term. Econotnv in the niannecinent of the office will hs the aim of V. C. North, candidate for sheriff of Mult nomah county, provided he is elect ed to that position, He is certain he can save the taxpnycrs of this county a lnrg; sum of money each year. At the present time the deputies of the county assessor compile the assessments, another force of iuex perienced deputies are then employ ed by the county clerk to extend the tax roll and still another force of inexperienced deputies is hired by the sheriff to collect the taxes. The result of all this is plain. There is loss of time and consequently loss money to the taxpayers. There are also questions put to the men who are collecting the taxes which they possibly cannot answer ns they do not understand them and the result is that the taxpayers nrctold to in terview the county assessor or some other official. After being buffeted about from one to nuother the tax payer gives up in disgust without gaining the information he desires in regard to his taxes. North would change this system and promises the voters that he will endeavor to co-operate with the county assessor and county clerk in ndopting nn entiiely new policy in this work. He would tnkc the deputies from the county assessor's office when they have completed the assessments, and place them nt work extending the tax rolls. Iking acquainted with the books nud the assessments this work would progress much more accurately and satisfactorily than if nu entire new force of deputies was employed by the county clerk. After the tax rolls had been extend ed, he would take the .same force of deputies which made up the as sessments and extended the tax roll and put them at work collect- ug the taxes. Knowing how they had assessed the proiierty, anv question put to them by the tax- tKiyers could lie siieedily answered and endless confusion avoided. In this manner the work of as sessing, extending the tax' roll and collecting the taxes could be done more elhcieutly and much more quickly nud nt a great saving to the taxpayers, nud nt the same time give the general public an op portunity of securing information of their taxes that is due them, promptly nud correctly.

The sermon Inst Sunday morning from 1 Cor. 13:5 I.ovc Thiuketh 110 Evil" touched some of the vital questions of the tiny. The pastor snid this phrase "thiuketh no evil ' is much abused in the minds of men. I.ovc. as liviue quality in man, is not to mud his eyes or shackle his judg incut. I.ovc is a thinker, n work er, au observer. Love is that in- visible quality that determines the course ot nctiou in life's vocations The Ilible tells us of many kinds ove. Paul says: " t he love of money is the root ot nil evil," nud that "Demns hath forsaken me hay- ug loved this present world," Hut the love spoken of in the text is that which the apostle spake of when he said; "I.ove workcth no II to his neighbor." Thus au in stilutiou must stand either for good or for evil, according to the qua! tty of love it maintains. Jieiwecu 450 niut 500 women from the various ladies' aids of the M.
