An Unique Party "Come to our party. Don't dress up. Stop at Merta's, 802 North Fillmore street, to inquire the way. Parade starts at 8:30 shurp, Thursday eve., Nov. 14, 12.'' So read the invitation to a very unique party given at the old Catlin house by three of St. Johns' young people, Misses Mer ta Gatton, Lulu Gilhnore and Dr. Vinton Scott. The trio represented the Hig gins family Josh Iliggins, Ma and Mclinda. The house has two large rooms and a fire place downstairs, and the place was very artistically decorated for the occasion. The large room having the fire place was used as the reception room. Autumn leaves furnished the decoration, whilo "Don'ts" such as "Don't spit in the coffee:" "Them chaw in' tcrbacco spit in the spit tune:" "If you insist on spoon in', don't spoon out loud," and others too numerous to mention were hung promiscuously about the room. Over the fire place were the family portraits from 1791 down to Melindn. The other room wns also arranged to suit the occasion. In one corner was the menagerie. In another corner was found the "curiosity shop." The walls of this room were decorated with "Molindn's collecting pennies;" "Leave all donations with ma;" "Pa chaws Climax;" "Como and hear ma chaw gum," and others. Boxes were the predominating articles of furniture. At nine o'clock about fifty of the neighbors came tripping in. Of course the fam ily was surprised, but they were equal to the occasion. Josh made the following address: "Feller citizens: I Btnnd be fore you tonight in behalf of the family to express our happiness in this big surprise. It does my old body good to sco so many happy young faces gathered around tho Higgens fire side. Well do I remember years bo.foro these gray hairs donned my fer rowed brow, I used to cut just such capers. Yes, by ginger, I remember back in '57 wo dono just such a trick on Grandpa Higgcn's neico and her man down hero In Pumpkin Center. Wo had a crackin' good time, I can tell ye, n-pullln' taffy and poppin' corn. But say, I can tasto It yet. Wo was all takin' caster lie for n week after a-pay-in' up for it. Now Ma and Mc linda, we'll have to do something to git theso folks busy. Ma, you Kit out tho cornVoppere, and Me nda, you run and git some chestnuts; some of you can pop torn whilo others roast chest nuts, and them that ain't doin' nuthin' can pop tho question and roast their neighbors. Now, folks, enioy yourselves, and them that aiirt acquainted, git bizzy." From then on everything was a-buzz. During the evening Mr. Josiah Corntossle and Miss Ell zer Huskinpeg were united in marriage, Mr. Isaac Hammer handle officiating. After which a bountiful supper was served, consisting of sandwiches, coffee, Rumpkin pie, apples, nuts, etc. 0 wedding cake being on hand, Johnny cako was served. At 12 o 'clock all bid the Higgenes good night and took their depar ture, xxx Will Give Information 1 A work more comnlete and authorartive than any other statistical book ever printed on the resources 01 Oregon is now on the press and will be issued within a week.

Mr. Bergen, the fumoi'3 singer, heads the company ant; his suc cess is nothing short of nvirvel ous. An eminent critic in the East recently said of him, that he has the interpretive ability of Dr. Wullner. the dramatic ability of Blspham, and tho art of Do Gorgoza; that his work in gener al is a composite of theso three world renowned artists. W. L. Hubbard, formerly musical 'and dramutic critic of tho Chicago Tribune, said public ly, that he considered Mr. Ber gen one of the finest artists that America has produced. One ot the great features of this young man's work is his originality. All of his work is absolutely in dividual, and ho never fails to arouse the most lethargic audi ence to the heightof enthusiasm. In many instances he so capti vates the people that he has to repeat his songs.. Sharing the honors Willi Mr. Bergen iB Leon Marx, the violin ist. Mr. Marx for the past sea son was tho concertmoistor with tho ChicagoGrand Opera Orches tra. Previous to that time no was a member of the Thomas Orchestra of Chicago and played for some time under Theodore Thomas himself. Tho fact that 10 was n great fuvorito with the ate Theodore Thomas and that in mnny instances ho was asked by this conductor to do the solo work of the orchestra, is the highest praise that could bo paid to any violinist in this world. Marx was a genius on li s in strument when u child, nnd when n very young man ho won tho Joachim Scholarship inGermany. Ills work had proved n delight to all who have heard him, and io is conceded to be u great artist. In Mr. Hans Dressel the com pany is possessed of ono of the finest cellists that this country uis heard for some time. Ho has been heard a great deal in the West, nndvlnco coming to America, ho has won himself a place in the hearts of all tho peo ple who love music, both from the artistic nnd technical stand point. Ho is a master of his in strument and in jnany instances has been compared with the great Stelndel. " The pianist and accompanist, Mr. Hermun Schuchard, is a find of Mr. Bergen's. In traveling nround the United States Mr. Beriren s often asked to hear young singers and pianists and to pass judgment pn their worK. It is a well kuown fact that the young singer is ono of tho great est students onus art m the worm today, and it also known that ho never torgeia a young artist wno shows anv extraordinary talent. Many a young musician, who is now successful, owes his start to tho fact that Mr. Bergen re membered his work. Ho heard Mr. Schuchard play nearly two years ago. The Kedpath uurenu had engaged a pianist for this tour, but Mr. Bergen suggested Mr. Schuchard to the liedpath people and pledged himself as to his ability. Ho was engaged and is more than justifying all exnectations of him. His solo work has made a great impression on all the audiences the company has played to, and though u young man, the iact mat ne ac companies Mr. Bergen's singing, Mr. Uressei on the couo, tar. Marx on the violin, and that he onens the performance with a so o and c oses with a trio ior . - . .,, m the violin, niano and cello. proves him to be, in spite of his beimr on y nineteen years old, one of the most versatile pianists In America today, for he does all of his work equally well and mere is very eyiueni in ma ijui sonalitv that duality which is essential to all work of this tvne fine musicianship.

Not to Buy A well attended mass meeting of the citizens of St. Johns held in the auditorium of the high school building Monday evening decided, in an cmphntic manner, not to purchase the local water works at the price mentioned by the company $150,000. In fact, judging from the express ions of several citizens at tho meeting, it is doubtful if the citizens present would have fa vored municipal purchase if the price had been placed at $25,000. Tho diversity of opinion was something wonderful and aniaz ing. Ono prominent citizen in timated that the plant might be worth one million dollars in a few years, whilo another busi ness man declared the plant would he absolutely worthless, in fact, a hole in the ground con taining contaminated water. The sumo gentleman declared that the water was not fit to take a bath in, another declared It was full of sediment and unfit for drinking purposes; another con tended that it contained an ele ment of lime(which, by the way, is one of the greatest purifiers known) and was therefore, unfit to drink; still another declared that tho plant was uttery inade quate and practicallly worthless. Opinions varied so widely that It would bo difficult to decide therefrom whether the water company was creating a stupen dous usHctor throwing its money into a hole in the ground. The meeting was called to or der by Mayor Muck, .who Im mediately turned it over to tho citizens. D. C. Lewis wns made chair man and A. W. Murklo secretary by acclumntion. City Attorney Stroud, being called upon by the chairman, gavo his views on tho proposition. Ho strongly fnvqred municipal ownership of thqjjlant provided it could bo mirehusc'dhb n renson- uble price or be shown that the price mentioned by ihe company was exorbitant. Ho told why a municipality could operate the works more cheaply than n pri vate corporation; that it could borrow money at a cheapor rato of interest, and have no light, heat or rent to nay. He thought the subject a most vital ono nnd ser iously to bo considered. - . .. ... II. L. rowers, tho principal owner of tho plant, gavo a re view of tjio company's situation; how he ennio lo St. JoIiiib whon it was practically n wilderness; that tho only one industry St, Johns then possessed was a barrel factory that was about abandon ed; how through his personal efforts the Portland Manufactur ing Co.. Jobes Milling Co., Cono's saw mill and the Douglass P anlng m wore Induced to lo cate here. Ho told how tho water company had been struggling a ong as best It could: how he had been induced to take hold of it. oven though he wns most re luctant to do so; how tho com pany had to cut down a veritable forest und remove numorous stumps in luying their first pipe lines: now no imu io uik iiuwn into his pockets month after month to make up deficits; how through nil the nine or more years since tho tranchiso was given by the city no dividends had been made with tho excop- t on of a short period In the re cent past, but which had to be abandoned and tho monoy vir tually refunded to furthor exten sions. He said ho was far from being anxious to dispose of tho plant to the city: that he exi.ect- do to make money out ot it dur ing the last ten years of tho ife of tho franchiso; that he had the water thoroughly tested by three experts, whom he named, and all reported that they had found it to be better than Bull Kun wa ter, the chief reason being bo cause it contained an element of lime, which Bull Run does not. He said he would not be willing to dispose of the plant at the cost of duplicating it; that it was much easier to lay the pipes now than it was through the stumps and jungles of ten years aco. and much less expensive. He likened the proposition to a man who would contract to furn ish a boy with clothes from the time he was 6 years of age until he was 21 years; that each year a new suit would be required and the old one discarded, and yot tho man could not feel fully com pensated by receiving only the price ot tho last suit purchased. He said it was the same way with tho water company, that it had been forced by rapid up- i r j T-i a. if .1 buuumgoi ot. jonns io uniu anu airain enlarge their pipes, and that they could not sell at the The Library Open Honrs!

An Instructive Address "Sugar in tho baby's milk is the beginning of the education that leads to craving for alcohol ic beverages." That is what Mrs. Lorn C. Little of Portland declared in her address before the 'W. C. T. U. Monday after noon. Her subject was "The Medical and Dietetic Causes of Intemperance," and she handled her theme without gloves. The following are some of the points made: Oxidation is one of the most important processes in renewal of the body. When oxidation is perfect no clinkers accumulate in your furnace. Alcohol checks oxidation, and therefore causes the sysem to get clogged up, causes hardening of tissues, ob structs liver action, nnd weakens the heart, destroys the kidneys. Its action on the brain and mind are still worse. It appears to paralyze the higher faculties of the mind; judgment, conscience, faith and love are benumbed. A physician reports that alcohol ic patients in the hospitals are suspicious, cannot believe any one has a good intention toward them. This proves that their own judgment is wnrpud und they cannot think others have more gootl will than whiskey has left to them. But it matters not whether the alcohol in the system comes from a saloon or is manufactured In the hotly through acitl ferment ation in the stomach. The effect is the same. A doctor tells of a temperance worker who dietl of "gin liver" when he had never drank u drop of strong drink in his life. Temperance people ought lo learn to feed themselves so they will not turn their food into alcohol. But why do people crave alcohol when tho taste bus to bocrouted? Whutbegiim it', Give n baby that has never tasted anything Init-iU-nioUmr'H mlllkr- givo-lt' nun a leaspoonimoi wuisKoy nun see how quickly it will spit it out nnd what a luce of disgust It will make. What changes that baby's taste, so that when he has grown up he wunts whiskey? I say his education begins in the cradle. Sweetening the baby's food is one of the things that pervert his taste. I oc- ciiMlonally take a peppermint candy myself, but I say that a canity shop by tho sine of the whoolhhouiic is the kindergarten of tho saloon. It does in a small way what tho saloon does for the man in a more serious way. It tempts him to spend his pen nies for something ho does not need and that does him no good. It provides him with something that clovs his nnnutite and takes away his relish for simple whole some things. Candy is harmful no nisi tor how pure, because the sugar from which it is made is an in- digjstiblo substance. Wo can Iigesl a little of it because our other foods furnish tho suits that ulouo enable us to digest any thing. Sugar as it nppBMrs in nature is wholesome, for there il is mingled with other nu tritious elements, as in the beet, in enne, and in fruit. But when we have it before us concentrated and refined In thu form of sugar il is absolutely indigestible. You would starve to death quick er if fed sugar alone thsn if foil noth ng whatever. Americans eat 80 pounds per head annually, counting overv man. woman ami child in the country. It is frightful and is a grout cuuso of indigastion and craving for stim ulants. For a diet of white flour and sugar leaves the nerves starved and crying for stimulus. Ono of tho host things about tho W. C. T. U. is that it recog nizes tho beginning of the drink evil und hus u department of health. Mrs. Little is Sunt, of the department of Health and Heredity as well as the depart ment of Medical Temperance for Multnomah Co. Her profession is that of teacher of health cult ure, bo that she is peculiarly suit ed to tho offices she holds, Mrs. Little also spoke .against tho use of tea and coffee and other stimulants which wo torn perance workors must discard as a beverage if we expect to convert our husbands, brothers and sons, to give up their beer cldor and tobacco.

High School Notes The first basket bnll game of the soason was won by the James John High boys in the high school gymnasium on last Friday evening. Their opponents wore the " V's", a team composed of former nunils of the school.
