Almost a whole naire was devoted to picturing the principal industries besides an interesting writenp, which latter i3 reproduced hclow. Pie tures of the city dock, asbestos plant, Portland Manufacturing Co. mant. .lobes Hour mills. wool en mills, St. Johns Pinning mills, St. Johns Lumber Co.'s mills, Peninsula Iron Works and the drv dock were given, which made it a boost of great value for St. Johns. The article fol lows: With a population of 0000, a deep water front, more than three miles long, a thoroughly organized high and grammar school system, miles of paved streets and an active Cominor cial Club, St. Johns, on the low er Peninsula, has become an tm nortant nlnco. It is a long step from the steam cars thai formerly served bt. Johns to the present electric 10 minute car service. The chief asset of St. Johns is its line deen water front. where between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 has been invested. Chief among; the industries on the water front are the dry docks. St. Johns Lumber Company. Jobes Flour Mills, city docks, St.Johns Ship yard, the Portland Woolen Mills and other concerns. The growth of the St. Johns water front in dustries from a single barrel factory lias been remarkable. St. Johns has a payroll of $95,- 000 a month and ships an aver ago of 2000 carloads of freight monthly. It has taxable proper ty to the amount of more than $5,000,000, nnd is steadily grow ing. St. Johns has an excellent system of paved streets, and it is now possible to reach that city from any part of Portland by way of the Peninsula on paved streets. The basis of the growth and prosperity of St. Johns is the tine water frontage, with its deep channel. One drawback to the water front, so it is stated, is the high price at which prop erty has been held, but in spite of tills tho industries there have continued to grow. The city owns a valuable dock, which it has leased to the Crown Paper Mills Company and derives an income therefrom. At present the Commercial Club and the city administration are engaged in a propaganda for play grounds. Mayor Charles Bredeson.who is an old resident, is firmly on the side of the move ment to provldo play grounds for the children of St. Johns. "We have about 0000 people in St. Johns," said Mayor Bred eson, "and tho time hns como when we should provide for the present and future in the acqui sition of tracts for play grounds. 1 believe in small and easily ac cessible tracts for this purpose. At present we are receiving ten ders of tracts that will bo suita ble for these parks. Of course it will bo hard to make a selec tion. "In order to pay for the tracts it will be necessary to hold a spe cial election to authorize the is sue of the necessary bonds. It will take from $30,000 to $40. 000, but the possession of park tracts will be an asset to the city. When we have received sufficient tenders the whole mat ter will be put up to the people. The time has not been fixed for this special election."' Soon St. Johns will get better Btreet car service. The street car company has agreed to run the St. Johns cars alternate trips around the East St. Johns loop. The St. Johns cars will be oper ated over the new Broadway bridge, which will reduce the time of trips materially, as the distance will be shortened. The St Johns Commercial Club ne gotiated for this street car im provement. The club also has the matter in hand for the con struction of a roadway to the East side approach to the pro posed interstate bridge, and has a special committee looking into that matter. It is considered certain that St. Johns will get entrance direct to the inter state bridge. The club has undertaken to have the switching charges for St, Johns cars from the O. W. R. and N, Company to the North Rules For Sportsmen The Slate Board of Fish and uame commissioners nave rec ommended the following sugges tions to be used by sportsmen in the Meal in order to prevent acci dental shooting and to relievo persons who are injured or lost in the forests and mountains: To prevent accidental shoot ing, every hunter should wear a red cap, shirt or swoator.orsomo other article of clothing that can easily bo identified from game birds and animals, especially wnen minting deer in the tor osts. bince there is a contrast neuveon ret ami mo color oi any! nru or animal mat is Doing hunted, this color will serve tho besl purpose. Hunters should never shoot at moving brush, leaves or grass with the expectation of killing game, it is dangerous, lor ine moving object is likely to be a man. Never shoot at any object until you are absolutely positive of identification. To prepare for an emerirencv every hunter and angler should carry in his pocket a piece of candle and matches in a water tight match safe. In case of becoming lost or injured, one can readily start a camp lire. Lost or distress signal : When man is lost or injured and needs help, a signal by shooting should be given. This signal will be the Mrmg of a gun once, with nn intermission of ten sec onds before the second shot, then an intermission of sixty seconds, then a third shot. If no answer is received, this sig nal should be repeated after an intermission of five minutes. The answer to this signal would be a single shot from the rescuing mrty followed by one recognition shot from the lost man. Care should be taken to get the tune between shots as accu I'ntnlv n noHnilile. Hind iih should keep in mind this signal and avoid, if possible, giving it when shooting at game. In tiie absence of a watch, the time can be judged with sufficient accu racy by counting ten between the first and second shots and sixty between the second and third shots. Whenever a shot is icard in the mountains, a hunter should count ten to determine whether it is a signal of distress or not. Tho person who is lost should. after hearing an answer to his signal, remain at the place where le gave the signal until the ecuing party arrives, otherwise 10 may take the opposite direc tion nnd not bo found at all.

The St.Johns schools will open September 15, and on September th there will be a special elec tion to decide the question whether tho district shall furn ish school books free. St.Johns has five school houses. .'ho high school wus built in memory oi James John, alter whom the town is named. The district will open with 30 teachers. Professor C. H. Boyd is tho city superintendent. This year in tho high school there will be taught domestic science, or which the fixtures are be ing placed in the building. The course includes cooking, sewing and other branches. In the high school also there is a manual training department. Last year there were enrolled 1050 child ren, nnd the attendance was about 900. Last year the district bought a block next to the Cen tral school house, which will be used as a play ground. Later this tract will be equipped with apparatus. Work is progressing on the new bt. Johns library building, and it will be completed this Fall. How is Your Title? Have your abstracts made, con tinued or examined at the Peninsu la Title, Abstract and Realty Co' Accurate work.

WHAT IS NEW In the World of Fashion able Dress Never have embroideries been so lovely, so altogether charm ing as they are this year. The manufacturers have fairly out done themselves, not alone in the desiirns. lniL tho texture of ' the materials so soft ami sheer, .and drapey. It is no wonder wo men are making them up into frocks for every occasion. The , summer wardrobe doesn't seem complete without one or two lin gerie frocks, nnd most women like nt least two. one with lace, the other with emhmiderv. vo ens a fount atfon for em broidery in open and lacey pat terns is the newest fad, and it is simply adorable. To get the liesl effect the foundation should he simple as in the dress illus trated. 7077. The waist is just a surplice model, with a vest of finely tucked while net, finished 7677. witli u frill of plaited net that widens out in Medici effect at the back. The short sleeves are tucked into a cull' of embroid ery, or a double frill ol plaited net, one upstanding, or the turn down may be substituted. Quite simple, too. is the three piece skirt, with Its top fullness taken up in line tucks. It is a great mistako to have a lingerie skirl made perfectly plain, with out either tucks or gathers at the top. It looks too tnilory for tho material. The flounce is a gath ered one with straight lower edge for the use of embroidery, and there are trimming bands of heavy luce, or eyelet banding. If the dress is very transparent, a colored or wnito siik sup or white net slip may be worn un derneath, and the straps over tho shoulder may hoof some del icately tinted satin ribbon, witli a band and bow on the skirt to correspond. Once on a time it was consid ered very bad taste to have one's lingerie ribbons showing through tho frock, but not any more. Lace and chiffon blouses are made now with linings of white net on which are arranged broad Batin ribbons in bright tones, tied in Hat bows, and some are further decorated with tiny sat in or chiffon roses. This pattern comes in five sizes, 34 to 42, and for the 3G inch size 3 yards 30 inch material, and 43 yards em broidery required; 15 cents. F. L. Emerson, wife and two younger children left St. Johns this week for Spokane. Wash., where they will make their home for the present. They disliked leaving,' but it was necessary on account of Mrs. Emerson's health, which is very poorly. The three older children, Wilbur.Les ter and Agnes, will remain for the present at least, and Mr, Emerson expects to return with the others of his family as soon as his wife's health will permit. Oregon products spell prosper ity this year, for they were nev er worth so much money as at the present season. It is esti mated that the grand total for the state this year will be $245, 979,000, more than $20,000,000 in excess of the returns of last year. Linen Shower Mrs. A. Liined tit ii.

Solos were sung by Mrs. Keeler, Miss Alice Brown and Miss Wise of Portsmouth. All were encored and gracefully responded. Mrs. Hall, in her usual humorous fashion, entertained with a read ing, and nlso responded to an in sistent encore. One especially good feature of the program was tiie reading of a poem composed for the occasion by Miss Hannah Bergstrand.un intimate friend of the bride, the poem following this article. The homo wns beautifully dec orated. The porch, where punch nnd wafers were served, was closed in nnd was certainly a bower of beauty in its setting of golden rod, yellow crepe paper, Oregon grape and ferns. In the dining room where the gifts were displayed the decorations were in lavender, the bride's fa vorite color. The center decor ation was a huge white bell sur rounded with Oregon grape, streamers of lavender ribbon reaching from llio bell to the corners of the table on wpich the linen presents were display ed. Baskets and jardlniers of cut flowers and ferns throughout the rooms added to the pleasure of a very happily spent nf tor- noon, which will long bo remem bered by those fortunate enough to ho present.

Word Recall Petitions The Ifoaver Slate Herald. iul liRheri at lnt. haa the follow ing l Ray eortcernlnic the Word recall petitions: Peraona circulating the Word wall etitioflR were l)uay on the Rtreela of Lenta this week. It if not prnltabie that they receiv ed much atiporl. A diactiasion of the merits of the movement brought out the el 11 i in from the womiui who wna presenting the petition, that the sheriM a tlep utiea hail been extreme in their treatment of the public. They hail not been satisfied with the way persons who were entirely independent of any pari of the various strike troubles and street rows were being treated. It is claimed thai mere passing pen pie have been clubbed by the sherill ' snssistnnts. II is hardly probable that the recall move ment hopes lo win through be ing merely charitable defenders of disinterested persons. It is possible that the sheriff's men may have made some mistake. It would be pretty hard to dis tinguish in 11 crowd just who were passers and who were offenders, especially when the crowd gets so large as to block the streets. It is hardly likely that any one will be misled by such state ments. The jiresenl recall move ment is being promoted by a lol of blatant vagrants who are not satisfied because they are not allowed to pass themselves oil' as public benefactors when the only stock they have in trade is a lot of vulgar abuse and un reliable assertions. Most of Hie fellows interested would not work nt any price, and especially at a figure Hint would reasona bly cover their production. The sooner they become permanent employes nt the public rock pile the better for the public peace ami safety il will be ami the less chance there will be for them to degrade the morals of the young people of tho country. Then we need the crushed rock. To Let Them Wear 'Em John I). Turner, lawyer ami Councilman, created furore and laughter Tuesday night when he introduced 11 resolution al a meeting of the City Council pro viding that the women of Salem be allowed to wear any old kind and every new kind of akirts. Mr. Turner said he had read tlii'l Mayor Albee of Portland had attempted to regulate the styles and skirts worn in that city, and ho believed tills nn in fringement on the rights ot the fairer sex, especially since they recently were given the ballot. Ho declared that women had not attempted to regulate the wear ing apparel of men, and he did not believe men had a right to rogulate that of the women. His resolution, which was filed, s as follows: "Be it resolved by the common council of the city of Salem, Or egon, that each and ovory wom an in tho city of Salem is hereby grunted the privilege of wearing upon the streets ot said city any X-ray skirt.slit skirt, split skirt, harem skirt, hobble skirt, hoop skirl or abbreviated skirt, and be it further resolved thai all officers and employes of the city of Salem are hereby instructed not to look al or In any way in terfere with any woman's rami fications upon the stroot of said city."
