NO. 20 "AH Around" Roosevelt An exchange speaks of Roosevelt as an "all-around" man. He is and always has been an nll-around man. He can drink with the drink crs, "cuss" with the "cusscrs" and then go into the pulpits and preach with the preachers. When he was President he was both the Execu tive and the Legislative depart ments, and he tried hard to be the Judicial. While he was in power his boots were licked by Catholic and Protestant, Jew nnd Gentile, Republican, Democrat, Prohibition ist and Socialist, Protectionist and and Free Trader, Hnrrimnn and Gompcrs, Lover of Peace and Lover of War. While he was Police Commis sioner he violently enforced the Sunday closing law, nnd at the same time as violently advocated the repeal of the very lnw he en forced. Saved at San Juan Hill from dc structlon and even disgrace by the intrepid chatgc of a regiment of negroes, he repaid the debt and in cidcutally made himself solid in ccr tuiu parts of the South by drum ming out of the army In disgrace a whole Imttnllloii of innocent blacks because he couldn't get the names of half a dozen men who were said to have shot up Hrownsville. He lauds the kind, gentle and patient Lincoln, yet he had a tele graph operator in the South dis charged for not honoring his tele graph frank which he had left in Washington; he repealed half the Civil Service regulations in order to fire a humble Kansau for driving a delivery wagon past the royal equipage in Washington; he drove n '4-ycar old girl home in hysterics from a public park in the Capital city, when she was riding horse back, because he thought she was following. Roosevelt was n tariff reformer until he became president; but dur ing his two terms of office he man aged, by skillfully exploiting other issues, to avoid the tariff issue year after year. When he saw that the tariff must come to a vote soon, he declined a third term and threw Taft into the breach. Now, that the tariff flurry is over, he seeks to c,ome back into power on the recall of judges and judicial decisions. He made a radical, violent, revolu tionary speech in Kansas a year and d half ago, and within two weeks traded every "principle" he had enunciated for the chairmanship of the New York Statu convention. Nobody ever pounded Hrynn harder than Roosevelt did. Yet Roosevelt has stolen every political dud that Uryan ever wore, except those reduced to absolute tatters by ,the march of events. No politician and officeholder was ever , more mistreated by an other politician and officeholder than LaFollette was by Roosevelt in the days of his power. Yet Roosevelt has. now swallowed La Follette, all LaFollelte's "isms" and all he could get of LaFollette's , followers. Yes, Roosevelt is an all-around man. Kansas City Star. A lien Record The following record for the year 191 1 has been handed us by Frank Myer of the net profit he derived from the keeping of 70 single comb White Leghorns. Mr. Myers is a firm believer in making a bus iness of poultry raising just as he would anything else, and knows to a ceut just what his flock cost him and what he makes out of them. His accounts also run over the en tire year, and not only during the laying period, as some fanciers sometimes figure them. During last year those 70 hens laid 10,603 eggs, from which amount 7,134 were sold in the market and for hatching purposes at an average price of 30 1-3 cents a dozen. They consumed at home the balance. The record reads: Eggs sold ? 1 80. 1 8 Eggs consumed 87.18 Stock sold 1 1 1.87 Total $378. 9 1 Feed and other expenses . , . 124.00 Net profit $254.91 This makes a net profit of 13.64 received during the year from each hen, and that they averaged 151 eggs each. They are all pure stock , and many of the eggs were sold for batching at fancy prices. Others can do as well as Mr. Myers will they but put the time, care and attention to the industry that he does, Dallas Itetnizer. For Sale Very low in price, an 8-room house, lot 50x100. Corner Tacoma and Fillmore by owner, W. H. Warner, box 850, St. Johus, 21 A Big Washing How would you like to wash an average of 100,000 napkins each year, Mrs. Housekeeper? How would you like to launder the same number of dish clothes every thirty days? If you had to launder 40, 000 table cloths each month which includes starching and ironing wouldn't you be pretty tired at the end of each day's work, especially if you had to keep all this linen in repair ( Lure ot tame linen is just one small item thnt has to be attended to by the dining car department of the Southern Pacific Company. An average of 3 1 5, 000 pieces of linen arc laundered each month in this department of the railroad, and each piece is gone over carefully by inspectors in order to detect tears, or pieces that nrc beginning to show wear. At the commissary depart ment of the Southern Pacific at Oakland, California, there is main taiued a linen repair room where thousands of napkins, dish-towels, cooks' nnd waiters' aprons etc., have to be kept in perfect coudi tiou nil the time. Fourteen clcc trically operated sewing machines arc running steadily eight hours ot every six week days. These ma chines have been so constructed that a hole in a piece of table linen can be darned so well that it is im possible to detect the stitches from tlie original weave. livery piece of soiled linen, ns it is brought in from n trip, is counted. It is again counted when it goes to the laundry and an other careful count and inspection takes place when it is returned. Women do all this work. A ma jority of the women employes who handle this linen were dependent upon railroad men who have been maimed or killed in the railroad service and the Southern Pacific, in employing women for this work, gives preference to the dependent relatives of those men who have been injured or killed in the scr- vice. A Booster's Boost Excuse me, stranger, did I hear you say That you were in St. Johns the other day, Visiting the resources that city hus And the drawbacks that it has not. Yes, I have been in St. Johns town, And looked o'er the situation for miles around Manufactures, shipyards and dry docks That I could sec for many blocks; Manufacturing sites, water front yet to utilize, Which was very much to my sur prise. Yes, street car service it is surely great, Twenty miuute service from Port- laud, seldom late. It has electric and gas for light and heat, Which makes St. Johns look very neat. Yes, illness and cemeteries are not much known, For children and for those that are grown. Groceries and other stores are by the score, And everything delivered at your door. Well', stranger, I must leave there comes my ear- As I live in St. Johns, which is not very far. Yes, property is cheap and rent is very low; And that is the place for a young man to go. M. J. Kemp. Most Beautiful Site Oregon enjoys the distinction of possessing the roost beautiful site to any state for its building on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific In ternational Exposition at San Francisco. The flag of the Oregon was raised by Governor West at the site-choosing ceremonies held Thursday afternoon, March 14. It was flung upon the 30-foot Oregon pole contributed by Portland. The site was selected by Julius L. Meier of Portland, L. M. Travis of Eu gene and F. N. Bodisson of Ba ker, Oregon's Commissioners, and the deed to the same was presented to Governor West. The day was perfect one and the ceremonies witnessed by 300 Oregonians who had journeyed there on the "Ore gon First" excursion for that spe cial event aroused the spectators to a high pitch of patriotic enthusi asm. For Insurance see F.W.Valentine A Shocking Death Samuel Bugbcc, Jr., met a shock ing death last week. He was at his father's stable looking after some of the horses last Friday. One ot them became contrary ana re tuscd to move. Samuel picked up a board nnd attempted to push the horse over into place with it when the nnimat made a vicious kick, its hoof striking the board, breaking it. A piece struck the unfortunate young man on the check with great force, cutting 11 deep gash, and throwing him backward. The back of his head struck a projee Hon injuring mm badly. lie was taken to the Good Samaritan hos pital where his wounds were at tended to, The next morning he felt first rate, even getting up and dressing himself. He soon, how ever, began to tccl badly, and grew worse until death came Sunday morning. It was found that while the gash on his check was not serious, concussion of the brain was caused by the fall. His death came as a distinct shock to the whole community. He was a bright and agreeable young man with many friends, and the cutting off of his young lite is a matter of deep regret. He was aged about 17 years, and leaves n father, Samuel Uugbec, Sr.., a mother and brothers and sisters to niotlru his sudden death. Funeral was held from the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, services being conduct ed by Rev. Cheney, pastor. Inter ment took place in Columbia ceme tery. Samuel Bugbcc was a member of the James John High school, nnd the entire student body acted as an escort for the body from the under taking parlors to the church, and contributed a beautiful floral offer ing. His death is first among the actual attendants of the high school since it was started. Blackburn, Chambers & Lowry had charge of the funeral.

Leigh ton, formerly a hardware merchant of St. Johns, but now engaged in the same business at Elgin, Oregon: Mr. A. W. Markle Dear Sir I note the time for uciicwing my subscription to the St. Johns Re view has arrived. We enjoy the paper very much. You are cer tainly a booster for your city, which I admire. We like it here very much. My business has been very satisfactory. Til is is one of Oregon's choicest valleys. Last month there was a full train load of 36 cars of "spuds" loaded and shipped from Elgin, and soon there is to be shipped out an other full train of 35 cars more. They arc now all sacked and iu the warehouse ready to load for the East. This is n fine fruit nnd ap ple country, and iu time will be second to none in the state. There arc many newcomers arriving daily . from the hast and locating 011 40- ncre pieces they nave bought to improve and make their home. The climate and altitude have agreed with my fumily nnd im proved the, health of Mrs. Leigh-, ton, which was the reason we left your grand city of St. Johns, ns it, was best to be iu a higher altitude. Kindly give my best regards to' the St. Johns Hardware boys, to) noy rerkius, who was my riglil hand bower during my stay iu your beautiful city, and also to James Johnson, an old Iowa neighbor of mine, who swears by St. Johns. Yours very respectfully, J. W. Lelghton. Governor West Coming Governor Oswald West visits St. Johns Wednesday evening of next week, and will make an address iu the atiditiorium of the high school building. He comes upon invita tion of the Commercial club, the entertainment committee of whrch will dine him and bring him from Portland iu time for the address. All nrc invited to attend the meet ing. Gov. West is proving to be the best governor the state of Ore gon ever had, and his address will no doubt prove a most interesting and instructive one. All who can should hear htm. A reception will be given by the club members after the address at the club rooms, to which all members arc invited. Don't fail to hear the governor next Wednesday evening. Favors Equal Suffrage Laifcrty made the principal ad dress iu iavor of equal suffrage at the hearing before the House Judic iary Committee March 13th, and also presented a ringing telegram from Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunuiway, who he referred to as Oregon's grand old lady. In part Lafferty said: "I wish that at least 50 of the mothers of this country were in the House of Representatives today, and that at least 25 were iu the Senate. This Republic can well afford to place the ballots iu the hand that rocks the cradle." Although the specta tors present had previously been admonished by the chairman of the committee to make no demonstra tion, Lafferty's speech was vigor ously applauded. For County Commissioner Tom A. Sweeney is making a vigorous campaign for the office ot county commissioner to succeed J. W. Lightuer. Five reasons are given why he should be elected to the office to which he aspires; First He is a I'rogressive.young, energetic and honest. Second He is fully acquainted with public work and the building of public roads. Third He is against mixing pol itics with county business. Fourth He will eliminate all forms of graft from county work. Fifth He is a road builder and can work in harmony with Com missioner Hart.

C. Couch. Coffey for County Clerk "Fiat salary" is the slogan adopt cd by John B. CofiYy, republican enndidate for the oflice of county clerk of Multnomah county. If elected, Mr. Coffey promises to put county deposits 111 banks which will pay the county interest and to also turn all fees, including unt urnllzntiou fees, into the coffers of the county. If elected, Coffey will be the first county clerk of Multnomah county to work for a flat salary. It is cs- ft (mated that the "side money" made by previous clerks has been greater than the salary lawfully received. It would mean n saving to the taxpayers of several thous and dollars per year. Coffey began his public career in iu 1909, serving as representative from Multnomah county in the state legislature. Two years later he was elected state senator but re signed after serving one term. When Mayor Rushlight assumed office Inst July, Coffey was appointed chairman of the police commission and now holds this position. During his term in the legisla ture, Coffey introduced many note worthy bills and made an excellent record, He was the author of the bill which provided seats for plat form men on the street cars nnd also the author of the Portland Gas Franchise bill. This bill provided that the gas coiiiihiiiv must seek a new franchise, but such n fight was made ngaiust it by the interests that it was defeated. Coffey also promises to extend no favors to loan sharks, and these now have n firm grip 011 the coun ty employes. His platform reads as follows: If I inn elected, I will, during my term of office, accept only straight salary provided by law. I will de posit trust funds iu banks of recog nized business standing, and not to my personal account. Interest re ceived on nil deposits and all fees, including those received for natur alization papers, I will turn over to the county. As member of the board of equal ization, will use my best endeavors to see that nil complaints filed have just consideration. No special fav ors to any one, I will give personal attention to all records of the county coming under my jurisdiction, I will not grant special privileges to warrant shavers or loan sharks. I desire that the following state ment be printed after my name on the nominating ballot: Flat Sala ry. Interest Money, Fees and ull Emoluments Belong to the County, A Minister and the Sign A minister was going iu to New York one day, and his wife wanted him to sec about a sign she wanted made for a festival they were going to have for the Christmas holidays; she gave him all the directions on a slip of paper, but after he ar rived iu the city lie lost the slip, so telegraphed for the size. At the hotel a messenger came running iu all out of breath and hurried up to the minister and said: "This tele grain must be terrible, for the op erator, when she received it, fainted away." The telegram read: "Born unto us this day, a son. 5 feet long, and 4 feet wide." Selected, FOR SALE.

The dads believed that the opening of Dawson street was of more moment than the acquisition of a park, and that unless the dedication of all laud obstructing the opening of this thoroughfare was made part of the option and sale the question would be defeated at the polls. The owner was willing to make a par tial dedication, but not of nit the obstructing land, claiming that she had given nu option 011 the balance nnd while it was in force could not dedicate it. The council held offi as long as possible iu the hope of its counter proposition being finally accepted. The matter had to be decided Tuesday night, and it was. i'lie owner claimed the price asked is lower than the property is really worth, and that she had made n most generous concession when she agreed to dedicate the land 011 the south side of the street. Per sonally, we have always favored a 1 park iu St. Johns, but sentiment is pretty evenly divided. As n rule those having children favor a pub Mm playground. Others believe the parks of Portland near enough to serve nit practicable purposes. At any rate, the park question is set tied for the present unless n spc 1 cial election be called by petition. Help The Inspector County Stausbery Fruit Inspector J. E. is investigating the con- dition of fruit trees in this city, and parties possessing scaly or ver min infested trees ore receiving or ders to either spray or cut down the same. Mr. Stausbery is a most competent oliicial and is thorough ly versed iu fruit tree culture, pos sessitign model orchard of his own. The ignorance and parsimony of the county officials hi only supply itig one fruit inspector for the whole county, at the munificent salary of $75 per mouth and pay his own expenses, makes it an tin possible task for him to do justice to the fruit industry. But it is hoped that all our citizens will co operate with him nnd aid iu every way possible in suppressing the fruit destroyers. It is entirely to the city's benefit to do so.
