High School Notes The student body of the Jitiues John High School wus greatly sad dened Monday by the news ol (lie death of Sam Bugbee, n member of the sophomore class. The funeral services were held nt the Baptist church Tuesday nfter noon. The students and teachers accompanied the remains from the undertaking parlors to the church, whence they went to Columbia cemetery. Twelve of the High schoolboys acted as pall hearers. The floral offerings were carried by six of the girls. The school made manliest iu n material way their sorrow by beau tiful floral offerings, but the utter sadness and deep grief of the stu dents could uot have been more elo quently expressed than it has been by the husli that has pervaueu an tue work of the school during the week. To the sorrow-stricken fam ily the school offers its deepest sympathy, 1 lie gymnasium uoor is now oe lug varnished and we hope it will be ready for the girls' return basket ball game with Beaverton hext week. The list of pupils having library priviliges, which is posted on the bulletin board, is attracting much attention these days. It is inter esting to note that twice as many have the required average of 85 per cent, this mouth as last. On account of a severe sore throat. Mr. Fry was compelled to be absent Monday and Tuesday. His classes carried on their labora tory and other work as best they could in his absence, but wc were glad to welcome him back 011 Wed nesday. Last Friday the two basket ball teams, accompanied by a few root ers, journeyed to Park Place.where a double-header game was piayeu. The game became intensely inter esting toward the end, as every one expected a tie; but at the last mo ment our boys made a basket, re sulting in a score of 30 to 28. But the girls were not so success ful because of the fact that Myrtle Dickie fell and hurt her foot during the first part of the game. Yet it is hoped that the old saying, "A bad beginning makes a good end lug" holds true; and so we look for some later victories.

Announcement I have accepted the Independent nomination fur the office of mayor by petition. It is only fair to my self to state that I did uot seek the nomination, but was Induced to do so at the most earnest solicitation of my friends. If I am elected I will use my best endeavor to con duct a safe and sane administration. My three years' record on former councils iu St. Johns will justify this promise, I am not tied up politically or to any class or clan. I believe the City Council is an organization to carry out and legalize the acts and desires of the people, and should be guided by their only law the charter. I believe the citizens of St. Johns are safeguarded by state laws iu their rights against exor bitant charges of public utilities. If we have been sleeping on our rights iu uot taking a hand iu the regula tion of the prices of water or any other utility, isu't it about time we do something? My candidacy promises a rigid investigation. I have the uerve and will not fail if it is possible. A. W. Davis.
