Thurmond, who is em ployed at Amity, spent several days in St. Johns the first of the week. J. T. Pond, who has been residing at Rose Park for the paBt three years, expects to again become n resident of St. Johns. Mrs. Burton Propns and Mrs. Eva Glover and two sons of Hen jamin, Texas, who have been visiting their sister, Mrs. S. W. Bugbce, have returned home. L. E. Rose has purchased the handBomo residence on Lynn avenue recently erected by E. R. Ingledue, and will take posses- sion 01 same m u few weeks. The removal of the sharp cor ner or sidewalk in front of the Toggery store is a vast im provement, and nutos and other vehicles can now turn the corner with considerable more safety. Mine. Caillaux. who killed an editor in Paris, and whose trial has been consuming considerable space in the big dailies, has been acquitted, as was generally ex pected. The weed extermination cru sade has already caused much improvement in appearance in many parts of the city, many of the property owners having cut their weeds without awaiting it to be done by the city. Look t this! An eight room louse ana lot, bUxlUl), on Jersey street; $1300, $300 down. The loiiHC alone cost more than the irice asked. Must be sold with in the next ten days, ror nir thcr information, see J. F. Gill more, 113i N. Jersey street. Rex Dryden mysteriously dis appeared from St. Johns July 13th, and his whereabouts has not yet been learned, lie had given no intimation of mnking an extended trip, and naturally there Is much concern regard ing him. Tho St. Johns Pharmacy club was ucictacu in a game ni nan played at Garden Homo Sunday afternoon by a score of 11 to 3. St. Johns was handicapped by reason of its regular pitcher, Whltstone, being unable to ac company the team. A return game will likely bo played In St. Johns in tuo near ltiture. Residents on tho Peninsula in Portland nro already complaining of a lack of water. And yet there nro certain people in St. Johns that profess to believe that it would be a good plan for this city to connect up with tho Bull Run mains. "St. Johns can well feel proud of its fire department and equip ment," so says a resident of University Park. And ho adds: "Would that wo were a part of St. Johns instead of the city of Portland, so that wo could got something, too. As it is we get nothing but high taxes." E. R. Sully is moving his stock of goods into the building re cently vacated by the Miller Hardware Company on Philadel phia street. Johnson's Novelty store will occupy the building being vacated by Mr. Sully on the corner of Jersey and Leavitt streets. This is a funny world, full of men of many minds. While some are preaching safety first, along comes a fellow with a one- Eicce suit for males, which is to e suspended by a single button. Looks like a case of flying in the face of Fate. Certainly a grave responsibility would rest upon that button. Farmer Smith, of the O.W.R. & N.Co., returning from an in spection trip through Eastern Oregon, states that the grain yield for this state has been con siderably under-estimated, and that in most cases the wheat is turning out much better than ex pected. He states that farmers who planted acclimated corn are meeting with great success and the growth of this crop is un usually good. A Portland man offers the sug gestion that since the city of St. Johns is considering the advisa bility of selling its city dock that it offer to sell the same to the city of Portland, as that city seems to be in the market lor suitable dock propositions. In this way St. Johns might sell the dock, and yet keen it. since annexation is only a matter of time. This suggestion, if feas ible, would at least prove wheth er or not the city of Portland really wanted or would have use for a dock located in St, Johns, never attract! Mm. John Poll Has been! spending n few week nt Ocean Park. Even nonomics nro not im mime irom mosquito. the htood-hungry Men who are on the rond to Ruin meet very few people on tiieir way back. Science says man's toes are to he reduced to one. Probably the one the corn is on. When every man is compelled to practice what lie preaches, there will be less preaching. The higher the price of meat the stronger the will power of those who nave resolved to be come vegetarians. What the housefly lacks in sense it makes up in agility. Otherwise swatting would bo a slaughter instead of a sport. Grasshoppers in some sections arc reported to be eating the buckwheat crop. Wonder how they scratch their backs?--Ex. "Mrs. Lind knows her hus band's very thoughts." says a Minneapolis paper. Poor John ic has no chance to incubate a secret. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt thinks men "are probably en titled to more credit than they get." They certainly have help ed to prolong the human race. A woman doesn't marry be cause slip wants a man; she mar ries because the man wants her. The fellow who thinks other wise is no gentleman. She -What did you think of tho chorus in our new show? Ic Oh, great! I knew the piece would be a success uciorc the curtain had gone up two feet. - Town Talk. Don't forget Buyers' Week, in Portland, August 10-15. The program is now complete anu visiting business business men will sure have tho time of their ives. Alfred Harbin, who last week started on a horseback trip through Eastern Oregon, re turned Sunday evening. The fierce heat of the prairie land was too much for him, and ho terminated the trip much sooner than he had expected. Plans are practically complet ed by tho Gresham Fruit Grow ers' Association for tho erec tion of a cannery tit that point, nearly all of tho $15,000 in cap- tal stock having been already been disposed of. It is planned to run tho cannery on n co-opera-ativo basis, a plan which has been found successful in other localities, and it is bcliovcd that its establishment will re sult in the cultivation of hun dreds of acres in Powell Valley now idle. Extract from a seashore let ter: A pretty seashore romance has been taking place here tho past couple of weeks, with pro bability of wedding bells in the near future, In which a popular young man of St. Johns and ono of Portland's handsomest young women are Involved. The two have been in each other's company almost con stantlyclam Booking, bathing, boat riding, etc. Unless I make a very bad guess, a young bache lor of St. Johns will have be come a benedict before "snow flies" again. Tho Jolly 'Steen Club was most delightfully entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Ingledue Wednesday eve ning. The time was agreeably spent in playing tho popular game of 500, after which de licious refreshments were served, Mr, and Mrs. A. A. Muck captured tho first prize, a cut glass jelly compote; Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Markle the second prize, a beautiful fern dish; and the guest prize, a handsome fruit, baskot, was won by Miss Wilson. Tho event was hugely enjoyed by all. At Sydney, in Polk County, the Krebs Brothers, formerly in the hop business, are construct ing an immense dairy barn which will be up-to-date in every respect. It will have ce ment floors, brass rails, mod ern ventilation, running water, and will cost about $20,000. The employes will wear white suits, and at milking time the cows will be washed, milked by machinery and only the final "stripping" will bo done by hand. Fifty grades Holsteins will be handled at first and 100 head additional will bo purchased in the near future. As an indication ofthe tremen dous growth of livestock indus try in Oregon and other sections of the Pacific Northwest, the Portland Union Stockyards Company has found it necessary to immediately make a large ad dition to its pen space in order to keep pace with constantly in creasing shipments. The neces sity for increase yardage for sheep feeding is mainly respon sible for the additions which will be made at this time, and it is estimated that the new pens will take care of at least 15,000 head, making the total sheep capacity of the yards approxi mately 35,000 head.

Thy waters, clear ub crystal, Thy troasures more than gold, Willamette, broad Willamette. Let now thy tale be told. (The river speaks). In all my many travels Past places fair or grand. The fairest of the fair is Upon a dreamy strand. Across the glassy pebbles, Along the sandy beach, Where wand'ring waves at sun set, The upper shore doth roach. 1 glide with noiseless movement, Where Indians bravo do root, Serenely in tiieir temples, In Indian armour droasod. Yet naught hut dust their arrows, The rocks that throng the shore. A hundred years have lain there, To lie for many more. The sombre pines yet nightly As gloomy guardians stand, While watchful nightwinds lull ing That Indian warrior bund. So nightly month and yearly This solemn stillness reigns No human hand disturbing Tho peace of these remains. So gently o'er the pebbles.
