It is said that in, the city of Portland at the present timo, from the report of the water board, that 17,860 water patrons have discontinued purchasing water. This is an indication that at the present time there are 17,860 vacant residences, stores, flats.apartmentsand office rooms in that city, while there are less than 200 in St. Johns, according to report m the local fire depart ent. Portland ought to merge with St. Johns in order to fill up its numerous vacant buildings. This is tho argument that tho Mergerites use that merging will fill up vacant buildings. It ought to work both ways. Thje residence of S. O. C. Call, at 826 East Mohawk street, was partially destroyed by firo Mon day morning. At 6 o'clock Sun day evening a chimney fire started, but Mr. Call watched it closely until about one o'clock, when he believed the chimney had grown coo), and ho went to bed. The fire started in the roof, near the chimney, and fol lowed the chimney down to the basemen where the wood lift caught fire. The local firemen reached the scene in nuick time. and subdued the flames after considerable damage had been done to the house and furniture. Mr. Call was heretoore the victim of another fire, his form er residence having been destroyed, about one year ago and the house damaged was a new one recently completed. Not th lab! on your ppr.

Church Notes A unique service is being planned for next Sunday, March 7th, in tho nature of, and for the purpose of paying honor to a number of the members and friends of tho church who have been christians or members of the M. E. Church for Fifty years (tho Jubilee number) or more. The nastor nnd neonle of this church believe in strewing some flowers in the pathway of these old veterans of the cross rather than reserving them to bo placed upon their caskets. An all day service is planned: nn outline of the program is ns fol lows, viz: Sunday school at the usual time 9:50 a. m. Preach ing nt 11:00 n. m. by Dr. J. W. McDougall, Dist.

Communication To tho Editor: In your papor of Fob. 26th, in answer to a supposed citizen, as to the stand that socialists would take in re gards to annexation. Well for tho benefit of tho pooplo if you will kindly permit, will say tho socialists liavo not ns yut dis cussed tho question for notion. But you can rest axsurod that tho socialists will voto as a unit when onco they decide. But only whon tho subjoct has been thoroughly discussed from tho material in to rout of tho whole and not for tho bonufll of the few. You stated that tho Social ists belicvo in tho rulo of the people. That is only too true, yet that doeti not necwearily mean wo should bo opposed to annexation. Doea tho people rulo in St. Johns? For instance, tho consor board which wan car ried by 160 petitioner against 400 roinonstrants. Wo boliovo in co-operation, in a greater un ion of the pooplo and care little for imaginary lines, or local poli tical sub-divisions in order to capture a fow offices for politi cians, as that is but a trifling incident ill tho grout class strug gle. Tho Socialist party repre sents primarily the material in terest ot tho prouueors, conse quently its main basis is odtiun- tion. in on or to do away with all that is injurious to tho many that a real democracy ovontunlly be inaugurated that will bo with all its ruler and laws mado by. and will be subject to tho will of nil tho people.- G.
