People should be careful how they address letters for delivery in the city of St. Johns, es- pecially so since the auto service for picking up tho evening mail has been established. Manv etters to parties in this citv are addressed "city" instead of "St. Johns." Hence such mail is picked up in the evening and taken to tho general office in ortland. Those addressed to St. Johns are returned here for delivery the first thing in the morning. Those addressed to city" are held m Portland until the carriers discover that the mail does not beloncr there. There have been cases wero let ters have been meant for parties in St. Johns but addressed to 'city" that have gone to Port and, and not gotten back for almost a week. It is not the mail officials' fault, but entirely the people's. So if you want a person in St. Johns to get a let ter, don't address it "city." Make it St, Johns, Oregon. Nt l4 m Sirictly Attary.

His remarks wero listened to with a creat deal of interest, and a res olution was adopted unanimous ly asking for a reconsideration of the question, and a committee will be appointed by President Bonham to present them to tho County Commissioners personal- ly. Mr. Hyland stated the mat ter rested entirely with Chair man of the Board Holman, as the other two Commissioners had committed themselves on the proposition.

The hikes arc to be continued, for one and all have enjoyed the long and short trips that have been taken, and expect to go on others soon. Although thu Dramatic Club has helped in a different way, it has done its part in bringing the students closer together.
