TitK KHVIRW Is entered nt post office
in Portland, Oregon, as tnall matter
of the second class under the Act of Con
rcssof March 3, 1879.
Among the things needed in
St. Johns, which would seem
fully justified by tho $350,000
monthly pay roll, which wc are
reliably informed is now the
pay roll mark in St. Johns, arc
the following: First class hotel,
opera House, apartment houses,
at least 350 more tenant houses,
hospital, first class lodge room,
modern home laundry, Western
Union Telegraph ofiice, public
play ground, besides other
institutions that might be men
tioned. Here is certainly a
fertile and profitable field for
the investor.

In n recent ruling of an Iiast-

ness was a patriotic necessity
if 4 tl mm iri1nHnttini f-

dunce that readies
our ollice
each week, are re(uests for the
imnicdiato publication of var
ious items which the govern
ment wishes to put before the
poople, in order to stir up their
patriotism and rally their ser
vices to the government. It is
impossible of course to print
anything like all we receive,
but t every loyal newspaper
Ntrnins its resources to the ut
most to give freely just the
services that tho government is
reduesting. In both the first
mid second liberty loan, there
Is not a shadow of a doubt in
the m lids of anyone who is ac
quainted with tho facts that it
would not have been possible to
succeed in this undertaking had
the newspaper men not loyally
and without stint, given their
miihch without any compensa
tion. An oll'ort was mado be
fore the last loan was launched,
to liavo it launched through
paid newspaper publicity but
the government rightly judged
that the newspapers wore loyal
unough that they would give
their services gratis, so the
money they had to spend was
lavishly used in getting out the
most expensive class of posters
known to the printers trade and
Urn newspapers did the rest.
The only thing a newspaper has
to sell is its upaco and when the
government needs and demands
that, they should bo just as
willing to pay for as thoy are
to pny for any other commodity
which the government pur
chases, in the propagation of its
plans. Alt. Scott Herald.

The death of John F. Carroll,

Important changes have taken
place in the local police depart
ment. Cant. Jenkins, who has
been called to serve at head-
(liiarters in Portland, has been
succeeded by Capt. L. A.
Harms, who is a worthy suc
cessor to tho position so capably
and satisfactorily filled by Capt.
Jenkins. The new captain is
ono of tho most trusted and
most efficient police officers in
it till t WW I
uie roriinnii service, lie is
well known by some of our older
citizens, for about a quarter of
a century ago Unpt. Harms was
a resident of St. Johns. This
place nt that time was only a I
very small hamlet and much of I
tho land was in its virgin state.
He can tell some interesting
rcminisccnses of the days of
old. and of the wonderful nro-
grcss that has been made since.
Tho new captain is a pleasant
and congenial gentleman, as
well as cnpablc and efficient
police officer, and St. Johns can
congratulate itself upon secur
ing his services since Capt.
.letiKins nas neon called to other
work. The service hero has
been augmented by the addition
of Sergeant E. E. Lyon ami
Sergeant Joe Day, the latter
serving as night sergeant. A
motorcycle man has also been
added to the force. Capt.
nanus is now urging uie ex
tension of tlio St. Johns police
district to reninsulnr avenue,
believing this entire sect on
could be more efficiently policed
from the St. Johns headquar
ters.
