HIorlc Socltly ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 14 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1918. NUMBER 29 Of Great Importance Wednesday, June 6, Is a date of great importance to every man in the United States who has attained the age of 21 years since Registration Day on June 5. one year ago. For on this coming June 5 will be held an other Registration Day, on which every man who has pass ed his 21st birthday since last Juno 5 must register with his local draft bonrd. This applies to non-citizens as well as to citi zens. No man who comes with in the age limit is exempted from registering, unless he is already in the military or naval service of the United states. And men 21 years old who for any reason have been discharged from the military or naval ser vice must register on Juno 5. The registration will be con ducted by the local draft boards throughout the United States. Each draft board is required to P03t publicly the location of its registration 'place, and men 21 years old must present them selves there on Juno 5 for regis tration. The registration places will open on Registration day at 7 o'clock in the morning and will bo open until 9 o'clock that night. No excuse will be accept cd for failure to register. The burden of informing himself of tho time and placo for registra tion is by law placed on tho reg istrant himself. Failure to reg ister is punishnblo by imprison ment up to one year in jail. Attempts to evade the registra tion will bring disaster to the ovoder. All city, county, stnte and United States peace ofllcors have been specifically directed to assist In bringing about a complete registration of men 21 years old, and to examino the registration lists and report im mediately to the Federal au thorities tho names of any per Hons liable to registration known by them to have failed to regis ter. Men who are too ill to an poar at the registration place In person must send somo com petent person to tho local board to obtain n registration card with authority to All it out. This card when filled must bo mailed or taken in portion to tho local board in timo to bo Hied on Registration Day, Juno 5. Provision is also mado for reg istration by mail of men 21 year old who will unavoidably be ab sent from their homo jurisdic tions on Registration day. All such persons should proceed im mediately without waiting for Registration Day, to the local board nearest to tho placo in which they happen to be, and have their registration cards made out by this board. Tho card must then bo nulled by tho registrant, together with a self addressed and stamped en volopo for return of a registra tion certificate, to tho regis trant's own local board. As this registration card must reach the local board by June 5, men 21 years old who will be absent from their home juris diction on June 5 should make haste now to have their regis tration cards filled out so they can mail the cards without de lay to tho proper board. Local Team Defeated Quito a surprise was sprung last Sunday when tho Supple Ballin ball team defeated the locals by a score of 5 to 4. The game was a most exciting one from start to finish. Henning started the game in the box for the locals, but his twisters were not working just right, and be fore he retired in favor of Bar ham, such a lead had been ob tained by Supple-Ballin that it could not be overcome. The locals played a plucky and high ly interesting uphill game to overcome the lead, but the game ended befo-e this could be ac complished. Barham who went into the box with spcond and third base occupied, was hit for a single that brought two runs, after which he got thor oughly warmed up and held the opposing team runless for the last Ave innings. Pitchard for the locals starred with the bat, making two doubles and a single out of three times up. Har graves secured a home run. as did also Yarrow for the Supple Ballin nine. The locals secured nine hits while tnen opponents got an oven dozen. As the Foundation club won at Van couver, the locals dropped to second place in the race for the pennant. St. Johns Fair Store, E.

The Oregonian's View In commenting upon the jit ney measure that was upon the ballot at the recent election, the Oregonian takes occasion to say: There was in the snecial citv election the usual wise discrim ination by voters as to measures submitted, together with the not uncommon exception born of prejudice or misunderstand ing. In another year the peo ple of the whole state, out of prejudice against the railroads. adopted a freight rate bill that experts could not understand. nnd it finally fell foul of the courts. More recently the peo pie refused to eliminate from the constitution a measure do nving the franchise to negroes, although it had long before been invalidated by the Federal Con stitution. Those exceptions, duo to no gect of study or of attempt to understand, furnish material for opponents of direct legisln tion. Approval of the proposi' tion to open once more the streets of the city to jitney trnflic is cniitc similar. The public became aroused, or rather was aroused, by persistent pro paganda, against the G cent fare. The people know well that every article of everyday life hud risen in price, from postage stamps to bread, nnd milk to fancy millinery and au tomobiles. But the company, years before, not anticipating war or war prices, had accepted a irancniso calling lor a max imum fare of 5 cents. Tho peo ple insisted on tho pound of ilesh. To enforce tho high minded proposition that a contract is a contract and should be kept re gardless of consequences, it has turned to tho other highmiiiucd proposition that tho way to beat thodevil is with fire. The jitney business is a goldbrick game. It is nlluring to n class of indi viduals who cannot figuro more than a month or so ahead on ex penditures. So the public will sell gold bricks to n few hun dred jitney drivers who could bo bottor employed nnd would bo better olT in filling the sennt ranks of labor in necessary war industries all for tho purpose of getting that pound of flesh out of the street railway. Wo wonder if. had thero been tho same virtuous indignation expressed over violation of con tracts, tiio people of rortlnnu would have risen as mightily against tho prohibition law or tho minimum wngo law, or a dozen and ono other police measures that havo been enforc ed for tho common good regard less of thoir eirect upon pro vious agreements. It may bo a fine thing for tho town to re- storo tho 5 cent fnre, if that be the result, even though the com pany goes bankrupt. But would it not bo as fino for tho commun ity ifMve could say that no baker had raised the prico of bread, that no dairyman had raised the prico of milk, that no workman had accepted higher wages than in pence times: that they had dono this for tho glory of the city and the comfort ot the population thereof, nnd to help the prosecution of the wnr, fac ing failure and starvation with a patriotic fortitude? We do not suggest that they do it. Dear, no. The point is that it's a great life for every body except a corporation. Baptist Church Notes B. Y. P.

More Industries Coming Twenty industrial firms are looking toward Portland today ror locations, and practically tho entire number havo suffi cient capitalization to insure themselves u permanent place in the business of the city nnd state, figures mado available today show. Of these firms several contemplate industries allied to shipbuilding, and when compilations within six months show the number of men em ployed in tho shipbuilding in dustry these allied forces must bo included, it is said, thereby bringing tho shipbuilding army up to nearly 100,000 men. Not tho lunst of tho possible new industries is tho proposed concrete shipyard which pri- vato capital would establish. Such a yard would be the first of importance in tho Northwest nnd ono of tho pioneers on the const. A speciality tool manu facturer with invon'ivo nntonts nnd a business already under way is looking for n location and somo capital. In addition, the Uhumbcr of Commerce has reported, proposed marine paint plant, for which S20.000 capital has already been furnished, but wheh has thus far boon unable to secure tho proper location. A marine hardware company, asking no locnl capital, wants a western location, as it is said to prefer Portland. Port and is arranging to offer an interesting proposition. These fow estab is hments. which would depend upon the rapidly growing shipbuilding industry for their livelihood, are only sbmo ot tho many that nro certain to come to Oregon with- n tho next six months, it is said. They will add great forces of men to tho present ship workers nrmy. Present shipbuilding allies nro machine shops galore and spec alty pro ducers in largo numbers. It is said that if all interested firms come here a vessel can be built, launched and finally steam out of the harbor without the importation of a single item for its construction. Journal. Destruction at Verdun A British Red Cross official, referring to a recent visit to the western front, says: "Of Ver dun itself it is almost unneces sary to speak except to say that all the written accounts one has , seen pale oeiore the actual scene. The town itself reminds! one of Pompeii. From the forts above one sees for miles ; earth churned into dust, trees ( shattered to ribbons, and not i even a whole brick where hous es stood. Town aftei town is ' completely destroyed, thousands i of square miles of the richest land in the world are absolutely I sterile and sown with unexplod ed shells, which make cultiva tion impossible. But the great est tragedy of all is poor Reims, perhaps one of the finest towns of its size in Europe. It seems hardly possible that it could ever be rebuilt, so complete and appalling is its destruction. The lowest estimate of the cost of the damage is 40,000,000 in j this town alone." Not th Ubl en your paptr. A Big Steel Plant The Pacific Coast Steel com pany, now operating plants nt San Francisco, Seattle and Iron dale, Wash., -will begin at once on the erecton near Willbridge, on the Linnton road, of a $750. 000 rolling mill nnd open hearth furnace. An 11 acre tract has been purchased for tho pur pose. Tho plant will have an output of 400,000 tons a month, will employ between 400 and GOO men and will have a payroll of $50,000 or more a month. This announcement was made last week by T. S. Clingan, general manager, and C. P. Bur gess, superintendent of the com pany's plant nt Seattle. In commenting upon this new industry a Portland daily says: Decision ol the I'ncilic Coast Steel Company to build a plant at Portand is all the more sigm (leant because the interests of its owners are in other cities which they nro naturally dispos ed to favor. They will build hero through no partiality for the city, but because it is good business, entirely aside from sentiment. That is apparent from tho explanation which nc companies tho announcement. Portland is both a great as sembling placo for tbe scrap iron which constitutes an im portnnt part of the raw material and a great market for the fin ished product. So much of the raw material is bought nnd so much of the finished steel is sold hero that thero is a field for the Industry in Portland, and it is wasto of money to pay freight both ways between here and Seattle and San Francisco. Tliis goes to prove how import ant it place this city tills on the Coast. As its railroads, factories, mills, logging camps and agriculture grow they produce more scrap metal, and as its shipbuilding industry grows and as more buildings are erected, it will consume more steel. Presence in Portland of a plant which produces steel will naturally stimulate shipbuild ing, both of steel and wood, which in turn will expand the homo market and lend to en largement of tho plant. No long time may clapso boforo economy will dictate production of pig iron nt Oswego in order that freight from other furnaces mny bo saved. As with steel, it will be with tho commodities, Selection of Portland an tho wool market of tho Pacific Coast will inevitably load to expansion of woolen manufacture in nil branches in and around tho city until Ore gon will rival New England for tho lend in that industry. As finxgrowing extends nnd ho n branch of ag must i ecome n of tho state. comos fixed as ' riculture, linen staple product When water power has boon dovolopod- nnd that cannot bo long delayed -othor industries will follow. Orogon is as well equipped by nature as any othur stato or country to put its rnw products into finished shape, and a fow years promise groat achievement in that direction. Portland is to become tho greatest shphtiUdiing center on tho Pacific coast," said Joseph R. Bowles, president of the Northwest Stoel Company. "It will build more ocean going tonnage, both steel and wooden, than either Puget Sound or San rrancisco if the government will keep the local yards in con tracts." Mr. Bowlos has dis posed of a his shipbuilding in terests in Seattle. With that business off his hands ho now will devote his full energies to the construction of vessels at his Portland plant. Ho will es tablish another yard of four ways in South Portland, just be yond the plant of the Coast Shipbuilding Company, if the emergency fleet corporation makes it an object for him to do so by awarding him additional contracts. A Fine Business Opportunity ForSale- A well located and well established business in St. Johns that is in a nour ishing condition ; in fact doing a splendid business with greater increase in prospect. The proprietor has an ex cellent reason for retiring. Parties looking for a good thing in a business way should not pass this by. For further information, apply at , this office.
