Oregon, ns moil ninttcr I of the second class under the Act of Con gress of March 3, 1879. St. Johns is looking better every day. because every day its prospects are looking, bright er. At no time in its history was there ever so much to en courage, to enthuse and to re joice over as at the present time. With the strike happily Bottled and the workmen back on the job, the ship plant em ploying more men than ever, the big grain elevator system uctt nir under way of construc tion, the mills and factories working to capacity, other new industries nroiected. the resi denccs filled and more dwellings being built, the empty store buildings commencing to find occupants, the stores doing a trootl business. St. Johns un doubtedly is the best and most active section of the city of I Portland. Koal estate is always the last thing to move after a business depression, but it will probably quicken and catch up to the procession before long. TWO NEW MODERN 5-ROOM BUNGALOWS Easy Terms On Payments Mortgage Loans, and Insurance Peninsula Security Go, First National Bank Building State Labor Commissioner Hoff, in a recent report dealing with the shortage of labor in the logging camps of Eastern Oregon, makes the suggestion that it may be necessary to employ women next spring in order to keep operations under way. Any one who has ever watched a woman try to swing an axe will view the commis sioner's recommendation with alarm. Journal. The settlement of the strike. which was brought to a close ' when the ship workers went buck to work Tuesday alter a layoff of more than five weeks, was a source of much satisfac lion to all concerned, and cs ' nucially so to tho general pub lie. Th strike had a depress ing and discouraging elfcct upon business and its volume was noticably depreciated. The Htnko was settled, we under stand, on a give and take basis, the employers conceding better wages and better conditions, a recognition of the unions and agreeing to treat union and lion union workmen impartially and fairly, while the workmen yielded in their contention for a "oloHod" shop. Through the conferences and discussions that arose the employers and the workmen came to a better understanding of each other that will undoubtedly prove of mutual benefit in the days to come. Ily the understanding that was arrived at there is little likelihood of another strike taking place until the war has been brought to a close, at least. '1 lie strike was con ducted here in an orderly and nuaceful manner and not one instance of a brutal or violent act was reported. And there Huumed to bo no bitlernoss en gondered on either side. It wasjiiHt a firm determination of the men to remain out until butter conditions had been utiarantood. While it is said that the same conditions so far an the St. Johns plant is con curnud could probably have been auuiiroi' without roHorting to a Hlriko, yet such might not have linen the ease at some of the othur ship plants, and it was the desire of the workmen to place all the ship plants upon an uipial basis so far as work ing conditions were concerned. Now that it is happily settled and tho men have gone back to work with good wages, short hour and steady work assured, a dill'urunt spirit throughout the entire city will prevail, and hnppinoKs and prosperity will onco more reign supreme. 1 self more than anybody else. Its a poor man who doesn't back his own fight to the last ditch, and subscribing money to save your own skin is the easiest tiling you can do. If reports are true, and there seems to he little douot in some instances at least of their ac curacy, some parents in the city of Portland, have not looked after the welfare of their young daughters as they should have done. They have not kept thorn away from temptation as they might have done, nor have they instructed them properly in the dangers that lurk in staying out until late at night in company with male companions ot a more mature age. And so some of them have fallen. I here was nothing else to be exnectcd. Girls of tender years should not be permitted, unless accom named ny proper chaperon, to keep company out on the streets with a male companion until late at night. To do so is only courting disaster that is almost sure to follow. In after years these immature girls who arc thus shamed and disgraced may lay most of the blame for their conditions upon tho tolerance and indifference of their par cuts. The mothers of today well know that their mothers Mr. and Mrs. Iria Duncan. the hutcr better known as Dr. L. 13. Graves, were pleasantly surnrised Sunday ovuninir when about thirty five of tfioir friends dropped in upon them and gave them a genuine sur prise, i lie visitors Drought a delicious luncheon with them and an elegant repast was en joyed.

Aside from the cold hloodwl investment standpoint thero is the human interest side of this (piostion. We are in this great war to finish and have already spoilt billions.

It is true undoubtedly that in many instances the mothers and fathers of today have not been aware of their daughter's actions, bo Moving them to be at the home of some friend, or at a social gathering. when as a matter of fact they wore out with a ma e comnan ion. Nevertheless, tho parents should know beyond doubt where their daughters aro at night. While it is deplorable in tho extreme that so much dis aster has boon wrought, the lesson may sink deep into the hearts of those parents whose daughters so tar have escaped the pitfalls that have emritlfed so many of late, and they will no doubt make it a point to know where and in what com pany their young daughters aro at night. Ihero is no doubt that the young men who have brought about the downfall are tho more to blame, because they wore older and well knew of the consequences that wore almost prone to follow, and undoubt edly should lie compelled to boar their full share of the punishment and disgrace that follow in tho wake of their con surable actions, but in most cases they will not ho so com pelled to do, because society has untortunateiy not yet reached i I . 1 . .

As it is said that one barrel of flour will produce between 280 and HOO loaves of 13 ounco bread. and flour in Quantities can be purchased for $10 per barrel. the public feels confident that this bakery and any other. for that matter, can with nor- feet safety sell tho 13 ounce loaf without sullering any distinct loss. A very pleasant afternoon was spent at the home of Mrs. .1. ('. Scott last Friday when by invitation a group of ladies came to spend the afternoon with her. They brought their knitting and while the needle clicked busily away their voices hummed like busy bees. There worn some Oregon pioneers who had crossed the plains in prairie schooners in tho very ear y days of Oregon, and incidents and experiences were related by them which were intensely interesting. Knelt one did her sharo in making tho afternoon a pleasant one, and altogether it was voted a very enjoyable time. Lunch was served by Miss Knthryn Scott. Those present were: Mesdnmes E. J.
