The St. Johns merchants are constantly at the head of the procession and are ready for the Christmas shopping.

It is always interesting when two men, one with thirty-five cents and the other with a Cana dian dime in his pocket, begin telling what they would do if they had a million dollars. George Simmons, a fonner well known citizen of St. Johns, but now a prosperous rancher of Ridgefield, Wash., was in this city the Inttor part of last week. He informs us that himself and neighbors had just finished the shipment of a car load of potatoes to Mexico. Oeorge says his family are all well and getting along fine. We are in receipt of a copy of the Palm Beach Post. Florida. and we note that W. L. Thorn dyke, formerly editor of the Review, is secretary of the pub lishing company issuing the paper. "Thorn" will be remem bered by many of our citizens as the most sprightly, satirical, jolly, ell'ervescent, immaculate, optimistic, breezy, don't-enro-a- rap, yet withal good lellow, that ever came "down the pike." May he succeed well in tho land of alligators and mosquitoes. P. G. Gil more has purchased the harboring business of F. 12. Stevens on North Jersey.

George F.

It is said that the road covered by this franchise will form the Portland terminus to t it ti an inicrtirimu line which win tap Southern Washington. At the school meeting held last Friday ovoning in the Cen tral school building for the pur pose of fixing the tax levy for school purposes for 1!)1U, very few citizens besides the school board woro prosont. It was found that in order to provide $8,000 for payment of the school block recently acquired and also for free text books that a tux of seven mills would he necessary. This is an increase of two mills over last year, and on the school district valuation of ovor$l,100, 000, an amount in excess of $30,000 will thus be raised. Had it not been for tho tree text books and the purchase of the school block, a tax of l.7 would have been sufficient. A good "Id English house warming and Thanksgiving sup nor woro givon by Mr. and Mr. Sam Crompton in their now home. 1031 North Hayes street.

Long Company of Portland gave an oxcollont dem onstration of the workings of their auto truck and pumping engine on the streets Saturday afternoon. A largo number of our citizens witnessed tho dem onstration and were particularly pleased with tho showing made. There can be question but that the apparatus is a splendid suc cess in every way. Streams of water wore thrown longdistancos with apparently little eifort, and tho auto made 35 miles per hour with ease in coming up from tho water front. It scorned to bo the gonoral opinion that if this city purchased a fire engine it should be of the naturo of tho one demonstrated by Mr. Long's renrosontativo. A combination chemical and hoao truck also gave an exhibition. c PENINSULA NATIONAL BANK. Oldest Bank on the Peninsula John N. Kw.iti'SlCN, Cash.

No one was at home when it was dolivered, and as thore was no C. O. D. tag on tho bird, it was loft ooso in the hen yard, the family looked in vain for the headless duclc they woro oxnect- iiiL'. and disappointedly dined upon a roast of nork, instead of the roast duck their mouths were watering for. They also looketl in vain for tho owner of the stray duck they found in their hen houso. None of the neigh hoi's claimed it, so Mr. S. C. finally took it over to Mr. C. C, who wanted to raise ducks, as well as chickens. He is some what of a weather prophet, and thinks wo will havo good weathor for ducks from now on. Mr. S. C. has found to his sorrow that ho chanted himsolf out of a feast. but Mr. Duck has found a hapny homo, and quacks his thanks ovory day for his narrow ojcapo from tho ovon. A Subscriber.

Thursday, Nov. 27, tho Senior Bible Class of the Christian church had their first business meeting at the home of Mrs. G. W. Overstreet, their teacher. Many splendid ideas- were sug- f tested und adopted for the bene it of the future work of the class. Tho revival meetings at the Kvangelical church are increas ing in number and interest. We are interested not alone in our own congregation, but in the general good of the community and are glad to welcome every body in our services.- J. A. Goode, Pastor. Mr. and Mrs. C. II.

Purrine oll'ors some valu able suggestions as to the method of deciding the park question, inn communication on first page. It might be well for the citlsens of the first ward also to follow the suggestion offered by Mr. Perrine, and pick a site that would meet the approval of the great majority of eitisensin that ward. Til is would relieve the city council of quite a responsi bility, which they would no doubt appreciate. However the park scheme shall finally be decided, the desirability of a pla.a west of. the city hall should not bo overlooked. "Oregon First and AH Ore gon," is auggostod as the slogan of the Oregon I2xHsitlon com mission in charge of arrange ments for a display from this state al San Francisco in 1016. In addition to a building of Ore gon wood, furnished with Oregon furniture, with a restaurant serving Oregon food, and with .sidewalks made of Oregon brick, it is now proposed that soil be taken from Oregon to completely re-surface tho Oregon building sito on tho Imposition grounds, and to plant therein native Ore gon (lowers, shrubs and small trees. To secure the necessary material for such planting, it is suggested that an exhibit garden be established in Portland and school children all over the state be unlisted in the work of col lection. The commission has been assured that iace for such a garden would be provided free on the campus of Reed College. If but one specimen is received from each of the 2A00 schools of the state, a considerable tract of land will be required to care for them until they aro shipped south for permanent planting.
