The local fire department was called to Portsmouth at about 10:40 Monday night to quench the names at the home of A. r. Gerrard. They made splendid time in reaching there and auickly extinguished the fire be fore much damage had been done. Mr. Gerrard was profuse in his admiration of the quick work oi the firemen.

He was aged G3 years, and had resided in St. Johns for the past eight or nine years. He is survived by ono daughter aged about 13 years. The funeral took place from tho Evangelical church Wednesday afternoon, the St. Johns Under taking Company having charge of the remains. Interment in Columbia cemetery. The Oregon State Grange, re cently in session at Tillamook, adopted resolution in favor of the ono body legislature. Tho type of law-making bodies of which the Grangers approve would consist of fifteen mem bers in session continuously. Whether the Granger's idea of a fifteen man house working the year round will meet with gen eral favor fs extremely doubt ful. But a proposition to have the legislature get busy for about six weeks repealing all the sur- Clus laws it could, would proba ly carry with a large popular vote. Ontario uemocrat. Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to him self has said, "That editor has quite a head. I'm glad I take his paper. He's got a raft of grit and sand, he prints the news of all the land, he boosts the town to beat the band and that's the proper caper. He soaks the grafters in tno neck, he saves the Ship of State from wreck, he's Johnnie on the spot, by heck, when things are in a jum ble. He writes the ads that bring the dough, he chases all our gloom and woe, he tells us all we want to know and yet he is quite humble. He never gets a bit stuck up, he's worked since Hector was a pup to earn his daily bit and sup and have a little over.

He hnB been making his homo at Escola. Oregon, where ho has erected n neat homo along the sea shore. Ho is looking ns if the seashore zephyrs agreo with him immensely. Tho big parndo and picnic nt University Park last Monday was a great success, and numer ous peoplo of St. Johns took ad- vantngo of tho occasion to at tend. All hnd a splendid timo and were well treated by their l'eninsula brethren. Tho Mayor and tho Commis sioners and other officials from Portland woro here in a body yesterday morning to get n line on police, firo and other matters hero. They received tho most courteous treatment, and seemed pleased with conditions. Last Wednesday, Percy John ston of 535 South Jersey street underwent an operation for in guinal hernia at tho Good Sa maritan hospital. Dr. L. H. Hamilton, one of the leading Burgeons of Portland, performed the operation. It was a success and tno patient is doing well. The biggest thing that the Peninsula can hope to accomplish and from which the greatest good can come is the dredging out nnd development of the Columbia Slough. The work has been start ed by tho East St. Johns club, and should be ut onco supple mented by the efforts of a. Pen- iiiBUla development league that should bo formed.

Whether Recorder Dunsmoro, Attorney Geeslin, Treasurer Mrs. Shaw, and School Clerk Tanch are retained in sorvice or not, it is possible that they will draw nay for the balance of tho term for which they were elect ed. They were elected for a year and are under bonds for a year, so it would seem that they are entitled to serve out their term in some canacitv at the salary stipulated by the city of St. Johns. It is up to the people of the Peninsula to patronize the busi ness houses of ttie l'eninsula. Only in this way can we expect to have larger business houses and more prosperity. Do not go to the big Fort and houses for anything you can get here. The more business that is transacted on the Peninsula, the more valu able will become your property. Help yourselves by patronizing your home merchants. The merchants should also advertise as generously as possiblein order to let the public know that their wants may be supplied, IT WILL MAKE YOU STARE TVs 'SI'. f-,.

"I am opposed to it if they haven't tho monoy to pay for it themselves" said Commissioner Bigelow, adding that he was in favor of shutting off public sor vico to these towns if thoy did not pay for it. "But tho people of Portland voted to take them in." snid Commissioner linker. "Yes," said Mr. Bigelow, "but thoy didn't voto to take their debts." Action was deferred on Com missioner Dieck's request for a definite answer until after the council makes an investigation of the financial affairs of the two towns. Wednesday's Journal.
