THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW DY A. W. MARKLE Publlshod Every Friday At 117 West Burlington Street. TiiK RitvittW Is entered nt post office In Saint Johns, Oregon, as mnil mnttcr of the second class under the Act of Con gress of March 3, 1879. omctsl Nswipsper of ths OltT of 8t Jeans. Subscription price- $1.00 pr yonr. The trouble with the turkey trot is Hint it does not know when it is suppressed. The United States upends more than eleven million tlollnrs n year for nrt not includini: the calcndnrs and cigar bauds. 1 One of the leap-year brides says that n man's shyness should not be nllowcd to stand in the way of n marriage. It doesn't invariably. t A llnrvnrd nrofessor savs that housework will make over n fnt woman into a Venus. Hut in these emancipated days women cannot be lured back into the old natns or domestic servitude by such trans parent bait. t Possibly n few superscnsitivi souls may suffer at the cruelty at teiulnut tmon the slntiirhter of tin flics now being urged, but the fly is one of the busy little nests that brinir n swarm of evils upon us and a vast nmount of discomfort. Its extermination is problematical, but innmnnHi tin tills is nil ni'L' when exercise is extolled, let the swatting go on with vigor. 1 The Rose Carnival next week in Portland nroinlscs to surpass all other affairs of like nature in in tercst and general attractiveness This week would have proved a more propicious one than next week, taking the . roses into cou s deration. They were never more beautiful nor more nhuudaut than the past week. 1 Now that the three year homestead bill seems certain to become n law, interest is being aroused anew in in Oregon's vacant lands. .Statis tics hnve been gathered from the general land office, showing there is lots of room in this state for the homestcader.therc being 15, 979,377 ncres still unappropriated. This is 11 little more than one ipiur ter of the state's area. Kvcry coun ty in the state has its quota, mid while most of the laud is far from the larger towns, much ot it is fer tile and will be productive when tilled. The hard surfacing of lfessenden street is coining along Mioiy. 1 lie improvement lias been completed between Huchauau street and the cast city limits.The contract has been let between Hiicliiumii ami uswego, and the city dads have started pro ceedings to hard surface the street between Jersey nnd Smith avenue. W iiiu1trslfiii(l llio renin Inllli? nor- tlon between Smith avenue and On weeo will be taken lip .soon and improvement jietitioned for. The property owners along this street are to be couurntttlatcd upon the pluck, enterprise and public spirit ediicss they have manifested. It is gratifying to know that the Commercial club is taking up the matter ol getting, it possible, prop er telegraph service in St. Johns. The present plan of having to send n message by telephone to Portland, with the inevitable chanc es of its being delayed or inUiutcr preted before reaching the office for regular transmission, is anything but satisfactory, or even fair to n city the size and importance of St. Johns, and the time is at hand to make strenuous move in the prem ises. II. K, Penuell, J. N.Hdlefsen and Sumner Sewell constitute the committee having the matter in charge. Baptist Church Sunday school 10 a. m., worship 11 a. m., topic: "As the Rose." Evening, 8 o'clock, topic: "Where are the Dead?" We will observe Rose Sunday at our morning service. There will be rosus in abundance and some special music.

Spring weather demands that 3ou rid your kitchen of so much heat as possible, and yourself of as much trouble. A Cabinet Gas Range makes the kitchen the handiest, cleanest, easiest workshop that a woman ever had to do with. The Housewife gets her largest meal in 40 minutes. She does it cheaply because there are two ovens, both heated by one flame. A GAS WATER HEATER attached to a tank will give her hot water right from the faucet for cooking, washing dishes and cleaning, at an insigiiificr.nt ex pense. SO GIVE THE OLD STOVE "ITS NOTICE" AND ORDER A CABINET GAS RANGE AND WATER HEATER TODAY The whole equipment costs less than you imagine. We sell the APPLIANCES on small monthly payments and guarantee them. ST. JOHNS GAS COMPANY ui PROPOSALS FOR IMPROVEMENT BONDS CITY OP ST.
