It is something that all are fain to believe. The times have been extremely slow for the past four years or more, and a change for the hotter will bo all the more welcome in conse quence thereof. That St. Johns and the Northwest will first feel the stimulus of renewed activity when tho distressing war has been brought to a close is a fore- cone conclusion. The lumber luainess which is of tho highest importance to this region will undoubtedly bo the first branch of industry to feel the quicken ing and awakening of industrial activity. There will be so many new ships to build, so many buildings to repair and recon struct and so much railroad work to bo done that the mills will be forced to run night and day to supply the demands. It is said that immediately follow ing the Civil War lumber jump ed from 510 to $2G a thousand tho mills were run almost con tlnuously and high wages pre vailed. This condition remain cd for a number of years. So it will bo after tho European War, only on a larger scale. The dawn of prosperity is surely near at hand, and its coming will hailed with unqualified delight, With all tho factories and mills in St. Johns running full time and at night also, this will be tho most active section in the Great Northwest, and St. Johns will grow and develop by leaps and bounds. It is only n matter of hanging on. In i'ortlanu proper it was tho ones that hung on that aro taking life easy now. So it will bo here. Thoso who havo tho tenacity to retain what they have through thick and thi will reap tho harvest by and by Ah a matter of fact there nothing to be gained by letting go. Nearly overy other place is in tho samo condition, and there seems to be not) aco totro to bet tor conditions. There really Ib nothing better than St. Johns. Citizens of St. Johns and the lower Peninsula should not fai to remember that the next pub lie meeting will bo held next Tuesday evening in tho city hall It is important that the organ! nation be kept alivo and active, It is only through organization and cooperation that definite re suits aro secured. Every citizen of tho rcninsula should he inter csted in theso meetings, 'l ho sole purpose is to bandit tho Peninsula ns a whole. It is high ly important that wo got togoth or and kcop togother. There has been enough dissention in St. Johns in tho past to last for tho next fifty years, and if wo use tho saino energy that has boon wasted in factional strife and centralizo it in upbuilding and development of this section there will bo something doing al tho while and tho Peninsula wil bo much tho better for it. So lot every citizen get his shout dor to tho wheel of progress, Tho more that help tho easier it will bo to push tho prosperity and development wagon along Attend tho meeting and U you havo any good suggestions to offer, for tho lovo of Mlko glvo thorn uttoranco.

JOHNS, OREGON Tho peoplo of tho country gen erally aro woll pleased that Thaw has been accorded his liberty. While tho crimo of murder Is not condoned, yet thero are oxteiut atlng circumstances connected with tho Thaw caso that many porsons reason aro In Thaw's fa vor. In the first place Thaw victim was practically proven to uo a most dangerous man to run at largo, as tho virtuo of young girls was his prey. Thaw learned how ho had ruthless y bo trayed tho innocence of his wife whilo yet a child, and so ho slew White. The brave fight ho made for his Hie and later his liberty common knowledge. White's crimo in some of the states was formerly punishablo by death, and that ho received what ho merited in tho oyes of many peo plo is tho reason they are glad that 'inaw is free. Comstock must have an awful ly corrupt mind when he sees evil in sculpture and paintings at tho San Francisco Fair. If ho visited some of tho bathing resorts ho would probably havo a fit of apoplexy. In his eyes, ap parently, tho human body is something to bo ashamed of in stead of being God's noblest creation.

We expect to close out' the remainder of our stock of merchandise within a very few days. If we have anything you want you will find price is of very little object. In the first place we will have on sale Any Shoe in the Store at ONE DOLLAR This includes nearly 500 pair of Ladies', Misses',. Children's and Boys' Shoes goods that are late, uptodate, in all sizes, and goods that have not been out of the factory over six months, as we have not got a pair of bankrupt shoes in the store, but all clean, nice goods direct from the manufacturers. The stock includes ladies' high top shoes and patents that retailed as high as $3.00 per pair; lots of goods as high as $2.00, but nothing as low as the price now quoted One Dollar Per Pair The stock still has many goods out of season right nov, such as Winter Underwear, etc., etc., which you will have to pay double and treble for when you have to have them October next. It is simply the fact that we HAVE to be out of this room before August 1st that compels the prices that we are now making you in all lines, and it will certainly pay you to investigate this sale. Remember the sale started Tuesday, July 20, and continues while the goods last. You need the money that we can save you. Open evenings.
