There is 11 bill pending in Con gress whereby the mnnufnetur ermay bind tho retailer to retail his product at a settled price, at one price, with no price cutting tolerated. This bill was in troduced by Mr. Stevens of New Hampshire, and there is reason to believe that it will meet with favor and finally become a law. And it would be a good law. If all stores were forced to soil standard articles at one price, the little stores would have a better chance to exist, and mail order houses would be on the de cline. Under the provisions of the bill manufacturers need not come under tho proposed law unless they so elect. Tho price of standnrd articles would not be increased because of such a law. Competition would keep the goods at as low price as the manufacturer could afford to manufacture for. Price cutting is an evil that should not exist. 1- Some people in St. Johns have been disposed to criticise the Commercial club for not being able to land a few industries in St. Johns. It is not the fault of the club. The great trouble haB been to offer inducements to manufacturing plants to locate here. There is no free sites to offer, no bonuses, no improved streets to the water front, no way of getting in or out by Vehicle to any unoccupied land along tho river front. The only thing that can be advanced is the fact that we have the finest deep water along the river and there are no bridges to interfere with trafllc. Hut mnnufactur uros as a rule want more than that. They want at least reason ably priced locations, easy moans of ingress and ogress, and h dis position on the part of the city to aid in every way in supplying all advantages possible. Until the city furnishes roadways to the river front and Hrndford street is improved its entire length, there is little inducement for industries to locale here, and until thuso conditions are re lieved the Commorcial club has little to work with. Tomorrow is Memorial Day, day set nnart to do honor to those soldiers who have gone to the happier land above. The old survivors of the grout struggle of the earlv sixties, together ' with auxiliary societies, will porform the sad rite over the graven of old comrades who have passed from this ourth. Knelt year finds fewer of them still remaining, and their once firm and vigorous footale have grown pathetically fooble und uncertain. Too much reaped and rovorence cannot bo bestow ed upon fjio pitifully few iur vivors, as they march on down tho valley and shadow to the groat beyond. In a very few years tho last one shall have de parted from tho land of tho liv ing. So as wo wntch their faltering fooUtops as they slow ly wond their way to do honor to those who have given up life's struggle, lot us remember that wo owo thorn a duly for tho won derful work they have wrought; that wo should do all in our pow er to make their last days the happiest and brightest or their existence. 1 It would seem like n good proposition for tho city to sol) the Philadelphia stroot dock and use tho mouoy derived from the sale thereof in buying ground und offering free sites to manu facturing Industries, if such it thing could bo legally done. If St. Johns wore in a position to offer free sites, the land of which to rovort to the city when TO CONVENIENT WAY, OF SWING ITHOUT the conse quent risk is through the universally approved check-book, which has be com an earmark of affluence, conservatism and substance. The men of mark in your community do business with their check-book. Are you one of them? FIRST NATIONAL BANK, ST. JOHNS, OREGON Takes Only A Few Minutes to get up a first class meal with the aid of our canned and bottled groceries The most delicious soups, vegetables, fruits, relishes, etc., that need only heat ing to be ready for the table. The fish and meat courses are equally conveni ent to prepare. Good housekeepers always have a supply of such things hand. The best of them obtain them at this grocery. on practical purposes as a municipal dock, it would seem. Tho proba bilities are that the city could sell it at a price to remunerate it for nil expense so far incurred, and iMtssibly more. The value of it may increase in proportion to the expense, but such is not likely to he the case. Tho value of the building will decrease as rapidly as the value of the land increases. If there is a man in SI. Johns who can advance any, good and substantial reasons' why the city dock should bo re tained as a paying proposition, we would be very glad to publish the same, but we believe two reasons can he advanced for sell ing to ono for retaining. The luxury of an unprofitable city dock is ono reason why taxes are high in St. Johns. We believe1 it could h disposed of to advan tage if an elfort was made to sell if. Why not solicit bids for it, and then got tho sentiment of the people by mass meeting or straw vote as to whether or not the highest hid should be ac cepted? ORDINANCE NO. iOI NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
