The Fraternal Boosters
Men are not perfect, never can
be. no matter how pure and
wholesome they may bo in de
sign and worth, are but the
creatures of men, and therefore
imperfect. The true fraternal
spirit is not realized by mere
temporary association with its
pleasures and business duties.
The best satisfaction is the ex
perience of the one who, at
some sacrifice, has done that
which benefits his fellows and
tho best acknowledgment and
reward for such an act is to
be found in the sincere appro
ciation of the favor on tho part
of tho recipient. How much
can I help my fellowmen.andhow
much good in tho world can I do?
is the highest and noblest aspi
ration of humankind. This is the
concrete inculcation of tho Fra
temal Boosters, and when this
shall bo thoroughly appreciated
by our membership, and this
membership shall carry with
them through lifo tho determi
nation to glorify theso principles
and precepts, tho Fraternal
Boosters shall have accomplished
its mission. Let us unite on
these principles and put forth
every effort to mnintain and
promoto every movement for
the betterment of our city and
country, especially our immedi
ate community, nlso to gather
together each Wednesday even
ing at the Mooso Hall, St.Johns,
for mutual counsel regarding
the foregoing principles. Also
bear in mind that wo will have
a social one meeting night of
each month. You aro cordially
invited to attend our business
meetings as well. Publicity

Tho New Quartette
Every one used to believe that
it was necessary to go to Europe
to hear good music and that a
great amount of hard work was
essential to a musical unucuuon,
but it has taken the St. Johns
Lyric Quartetto to show the city
of Portland that ono can hear
perfect harmony by spending a
tow moments in me at. Jonns

tetto takes great pleasure in
renderinir any selection their lis
teners may request, and what
they may lack, in technique they
always make up for in volume
and tho audience may be certain
that their interest will be held
during the entire rendering of
their repertoire of latest hits.
Their greatest success has been
in the original manner they
make sublime harmony in "The
Old Mill Wheel," a now hit com
posed by the Skamania Academy
of MubIc Tho Quarretttf is com
posed of tho two Bailey Broth

Emit Brownstono of Scappoosc
and Mr. David Cogan of this

the Quartette and is conceded to
be the best instructor in this
line in thostatoof Oregon. Mr.
Bailey is ever willing to aid
any student of vocal culturo who

in their own behalf. Ho con

necessary that one have a musi

says thnt some people have such
a forcoful personality that they
can away their hearers to such
an extent that they forget the
defects in tho voice of the sing
er. "Wo make no such clainiB,"

about the personality of the

To the 'People of St. Johns
Let us ask ourselves tho ques
tion, what aro wo going to do
in regard to tho Bell phono and
its service? Aro wo going to
set nt our desks and every time
thnt a little thing comes along
that is going to cost a few dol
lars, and then for a big concern
liko tho United States Phone
company. Wo might just as
well term it as such, for it really
is ono of tho lnrgestmonoymnk-l
ing propositions in our country,
and would any sane man or per
son or persons consider it jus
tice to the people nt this critical
time to want to take tho advan
tage of the peoplo to ask such an
unreasonable rent for tho small
privilcgo of what a phono may
do now according to the price,
asked. I hope that tho peoplo
nro awnku to tho fact that tho
Boll Telephone Co. cares noth
ing for you, or neither do they
caro, or either nro thoy concern
ed what expense you may ho to.
just as long ns thoy can get jou
and 1 to come ncrosB with what
ever thoy may nsk or tux us
with. Right hero 1 nsk tho
question: Why is tho Boll Phone
stock so high priced on tho mar
ket? I nnswur, because it is a
big dividend payer. Then why
docs the company keep raising
the rent? Tho more rent tho
greater tho dividend, don't you
see? You ask what is tho price
of tho stock? Ono hundred and
two dollars a share Now I am
not at nil clubbing tho Bell Phono
stocks. Oh, no, not in tho least.
All 1 regret is this: I'm sorry
that I do not own a few hundred
shares. I would consider it worth
two or three times what it is
worth now, if thoy can mako
this thing slick; and that is
this, by raising our rent on tho
phono thirty or forty conta on
tho dollar. Again wo will say,
Micro is no doubt all tho larger
concerns can well afford to pay
tho price now asked, and prob
ably is meant for such, but there
is n whole lot of us who will con
sider tho price now asked is
merely n stick up.andwlll roftiue
to pay. Again, tho company
uses tho tonn our tnxos is so
high. Think of it. $100,000 dol
lars, and wo nro forced to somo
means or tho other in order to
save ourselves. 1 might say al
so my taxes aro 10 times ns
much this year as they worolaat
year. I ask tho question, would
that not provo to you my nssets
would bo much greater? I say
get nway from such delusion.
Can't you sco what this means?
Watch tho great dividends com
ing across in tho next few years
to como, providing thoy can
mnko this stunt stick. Again I
ask becuuso my taxcH tiro much
higher this year can 1 uso as a
lovorago an oxctiso to tho city or
county my taxes are ho high I
cannot pay them and I nsk you to
help mo by reducing my taxes
this year, what do you suppose
would bo tho answer? Why
thoy would sell mo out for 30c
nnd toll mo tho other fellow would
pay it.
1 might say this: We no doubt
could learn somewhat along tho
