St. Johns, City of Destiny
It has been the history of tho
founding and building of every
great city that those who laid
tho foundation for future great
ness sought primarily a location
affording natural menus of trans
portation; tho greatest cities of
tho world today stand upon tho
banks of tho navigable rivers
or are builded by tho harbors
that afford anchorage for the
decpesj, draft vessels that go
down lo the sens.
The great transcontinental
and trunk railway systems seek
these places as their terminals,
for after all it is the ocean going
craft that make possible the con
struction of the great railway
systems. What, then, are the
possibilities of n city that is
built upon one of tho greatest
inlnnd waterways of the United
States and nt tho same time
nIFords rail transportation over
tho lines of two of tho greatest
railway systems of tho world?
Such u city is St. Johns, the key
to the transportation on the Col
umbia nnd Willamette rivers.
Adjoining St. Johns lies the
great city of Portland. Her fu
ture greatness depends upon her
water transportation facilities.
St. Johns is nearer the mouth of
the Columbia and the confluence
of that mighty stream and the
Willamette. Almost within her
city limits is the entire point of
tho peninsula, whoso point is
washed by the waves of both tho
Columbia and the Willamette.
St. Johns has n grout witter
frontage, and tho day is not fur
distant when this entire water
front will bo almost a solid lino
of docks and industrial plnnta.
Great transportation exports
have declared emphatically that
the peninsula is eventually to be
come tho Now York of the Wont.
Differing from other cities in
tho Northwest, St. Johns is not
dependent on back country for
her prosperity; it does not de
pend on tho seasons; droughts
have no effect on her; crop full
urea do not decrease her bank
deposits. Tho output of hor in
dustries nro shipped to every
section of tho United States nnd
to every important port of tho
world.
St. JohnB is oflsontially an in
dustrial and manufacturing cen
ter and it is to these plants that
she owes her greatness. Their
largo payrolls go to swell tho ac
counts of hor morchants, to in
crease her taxablo property, and
to aid in tho general development
of tho city,
Controlled by tho wondorful
Western variety of progress, tho
inhabitants of St. Jolms nave
surrounded themselves with
many institutions that are tho
product of modom times. A fine
city hall, built on tho old colo-
nlal stylo of architecture, graces
one of the prominent locations
of tho city, providing n hand
some homo lor tno municipal
officers nnd shelter for tho per
formance of a 11 civic functions.
While this is essentially and pri
marily a manufacturing and in
dustrial center, the call of mod
ern times for education ot the
younger generation has not in
any wise been disregarded. To
day St. Johns points with par
donable prido to ono of tho very
finest high school buildings in
tho entiro state, which was
erected at a cost of $40,000, while
threo grammar or graded ami n
Catholic school are afforded those
of tho children who have not as
yet advanced to tho high school
curriculum,
Study tho map adjoining care
fully. It displays the wonder
ful natural advantages of St.
Johns far better than words can.
It is a veritable city of destiny.
Nothing is lacking to mako it
eventually tho greatest city on
the Pacific Coast. It is steadily
growing year by year, not in a
booming mnnner.but inn health
ful manner. Tho numerous
civic improvements that havo
taken place within its borders
during tho past few years pro
claims the public sniritedness of
its citizens. It has emerged
from a small village to its pres
ent admirablo proportions 111 ten
short years.
