In a few years to come the Kant Side and the West Side of the Willamette at St. Johns un doubtedly will be connected by a hitfh bridge, which will make tho whole practically one com munity. The latest industry to locate on tho West Side, and which is just now completing arrangements for its plant of immenso size, is a steel plant, which is located south of the gas plant. Threo carloads of steel rails arrived in Portland last week to be used in the construction of n spur from the lines of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway to the tract of land recently purchased as the site for a plant by tho Pacific Coast Steel company. Grades Sjooe Goods for ess have hcen established and ar rangements made with officials of the railways far the construc tion of the spur. II. G. Eschel .man, construction engineer tor the steel company, was in Port land Tuesday consulting with A. I C. Callan. Plans call for the I emotion of 10 large buildings. 'eight open hearth furnaces and III - & I . . f I . & wo laying 01 several nines 01 tracks in the mill yards. Structural steol for the plant is now being fabricated in the east, according to Mr, Callan, and shipments will soon be on the way to this city. As an initial unit, only two open hearth fur naces will be built, the others being installed as needed. Owing to next Monday boing Labor Day, there will be no meet ing of tho Womnn's Christian Temperance Union. The next meeting will be held Sept. 16th, at the homo of Mrs. J. C. Scott.

Tho Editor has asked me to predict the future of St. Johns. I'll nave to start oy ruorjinK n n tr fie on th s same Editor, by saying that in my opinion our prosperity began when we be came a part of the City of Port land and tore down all the bars of small corporation effects and finished up the scheme oi tnc great City of Portland by donat ing them the balance of the peninsula with its wealth of natural water tront. i naveio start there in order to justify my prediction in the future. St. Johns is. at present, "A Dream Come True." Of course, tho war forced the issue to a great extent, but it had to come and keep coming. We have too many natural advantages tc keep us from growing indus trially. We now have so much capital invested and anchored down here with increased ship ping facilities in proportion that we have become distinctively tho manufacturing end of Portland, and industrially, Portland has concluded to become u manufac turing town. Our $3,000,000 Tcrminul that is growing nlong our rjver front is to be a group of industries on rented city grounds and wuter front with terminal rute3. switching to be eliminated, coupled with the nflvnntntres of water and rail connections together with the eiiBembled necessary facilities for handling economically by the latest and best machinery across lnnk and rail, served by all Railway systems that run into Portlund. In other words, the full benefit of a Holt Line, which means ultimately the elimination of all Bwltchinir charges to all industries in St. Johns limit). No other territory within the limits of the city has this ad vantage. This Million Dollar elevator and Terminal was loca ted here on account of tho rail mads' ability to serve these in dustries more economically here thun any where else in tho city limits. The city will rent part of tho 157 ares they purchased to any industry coming to them financially able at an annual rental emial to tho interest on the cost of the land they occupy; no taxes on the land, plus all of the enscmbled shipping ndvnnt ages at a minimum cost. One large flouring mill concern has leased one acre for a $100,000 mill. Our municipal elevator will be ahead of anything of its kind on tho Paciiic Coast, and has n million bushel capacity made to bundle bulk grain and will insure unto Portland tho wheat market of the Northwest and most likely it will rate us first or second in that business in the U. S. As tuno goes on, automatically, there will be every necessary utility such as cur linos hard surface roads, etc.. added to support this industrial LTonn. Th h Group of Indus tries with municipal backing and interest will be tho largos t and most important of any in the City. Any new industry coming into Portland vill. each and overv ono of them, have tho first opportunity to como here, and they are bound to accept on account of economic con ditions not equalled in any res poet elsewhere. As we have nl readv U0 or moro good solid in dustrics employing about 7500 men, 1 feel that in predicting the future, 1 may "go us far as 1 like." Our shipyards are owned and bncked ;y the most cntornrisinir men in Portland. Their interest is here and has boon for several years. One of them is now the new Peninsula National Hunk President. 'Ihoy have developed the water front into the finest property on tho river, a property that is too valuable to ever remain idle, and these owners are not the men that remain idle. After the war this waterfront will be occupied by big business; you can rest assured of that. Theso same people aro building up the town famously right now, and to a man up a treo it looks like they believe in our future by investing their money outsido of their industries. St. Johns has probably 10,000 population at this time, with 5.000 more wishing they could get houses so they could live here. The houses will come automatically Wo will be 20. 000 before long, then 30,000 and so on, with no limit except the boundaries. It is the best little old town in the country to live in and to own property in and alwais was and will so continue in a greater degree. If a pro- snoot ivi settler cannot see the handwritingon the wall, "a city building," he is indeed u poor! guesser and needs attention. If we take our advantages seriously and get in and boost I and become reconciled to the opportunityof living where there , are things doing, together with new men of 'industry and the city of Portland's guarantee of $11,000,000 worth of industries, 1 we can make St. Johns a hum-, mer, just as big and important as you want it, and it's going to take a lot of knockers to make the smallest ripple in our pro gress, i always I Following is a list of those from St. Johns who have enlist ed in Uncle Sam's service.
