St. Johns Best Place of all for the 1925 Fair ST. JOHNS REVIEW St. JohnsBestPlaceof all for the 1925 Fair VOLUME 17 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1921. .'US t. J. B l NUMBER 25 Manufacturing New Device Thu Skookum company, branch of tlio Associated Eneineerinrr Association, operating a plant in fcc Johns, is manufacturing a patent steel dump body in do mand among tho fuel dealers. The release of a Bimple latch at the rear of the truck permits the entiro load to be dumped clear of the truck at a single tilt of the body on its steel rockers. The speedy manner of unloading is a big time saver in fuel de livery. This brings to Oregon tho pnyroll.for tho manufacture of one more article heretofore shipped across tho continent. Three years ago the Associated Engineering corporation com menced the manufacture of ma rine blocks and forgings at the plant in St. Johns. In a three shift operation for a year and ono-halr tho plant furnished blocks for most uf tho boats un der construction on the Colum bia river, for sornn twenty-Hvo boats built in British Columbia and for tho largest builders in California. Just last month the company closed a contract for the blocks for the threo steel hulls on tho ways of the Bethle hem Shipbuilding company in San Francisco and this month is competing both blocks and rig ging irons for tho schooner Un daunted, just launched at thu old Grant Smith yard. With the taking over of tho Skookum line of logging blocks tho facilities of tho plant have been turned to the production of a full and mod ern lino of logging equipment and forgings. Tho steel dump bodies have been especially de veloped to meet tho needs of the St. Johns Lumber company in delivering fuel, says the Tele gram.

The Logical Fair Site As there has been so much talk about the 1925 Fair being held in Portland, tho Frnterna Boosters, as well as many other civic organizations, have seen fit to advocate a location. There have been marty locations brot to theattention of Mr. Meier and the Board of Directors to choose from. Every one of these locations has its merits, and in order to please tho majority of people livinir in Portland, the choice will in nil probability be where there aro the best facili ties for taking care of tho vast thrones of vistors who will be hero at that timcand the amount of territory needed for the rair. Another item of consideration is the advertising of Portland as a shipping port. What would the Ifi! n 1 1 it conditions 01 rortiana no ac mis time if it wore not for the ship- pine industry? Do you know that Portland is and has been ending the entiro country in fi nancial activities for tho unst sixty days, caused by having a port second to nono capable of handling any kind of trade. cither import or export, at the caBt possible cost. The pcoplo of Portland in the past havo nov- cr doubted the advisability of making Portland ono of tho best ports on tho Pacific, or they would not have voted bonds to the extent of so many millions of dollars. It is now up to tho pcoplo of Portland to nrove to the world that wo have tho best port on thu Pacific Coast, and that wo havo tho best industrial sites In tho city of Portland sit uated on tho Willamotto river and along tho Columbia Slough, where wo have docking facili ties for tho largest vcssols of seas, and railroads coming from tho north, east and south, bring- ng such materials as are need cd that arc not brought in by water carriers. We have on the lower peninsula a suburb known as St. Johns. St. Johns in the past has had an increase in pop ulation proportionately as great as any other district in Port land, and at this time its build ing activities ore far greater than the majority of other dis tricts. This shows that the dco plo are beginning to realize that a future exists or tney would not be building homes and fnc torics at this time. Located on the north end 01 fat. Johns is a new park, recently purchased by tho city of Portland, consisting of approximately 65 acres. There aro hundreds of acres available adjoining this park. Extending from the lowest pointol the pen insula from the banks of the Willamotto os far cast as is nec essary for tho largest Fair that may be held in tho future, arc vast numbers of acres available. Why not utilize thte new park nnd placo there buildings that can bo used for various purposes after tho i air There arc also natural lakes and beautiful is- ands that would bo available if this tract wero used for a Fair? There are many places near the ract that would be beautiful camping grounds for visitors who will expect to camp out. Tho ways and means of handling such a tremendous trallic that will oxist at that time are also greatly lessened, for the many ways of transportation available to tho proposed I'nir site, at the lowest cost of installation. Wo know of no other site where tho transportation facilities aro ns good as they aro to the pro posed St. Johns pair site on the north end of tho peninsula. We also havo banks and trust companies, department stores, grocery stores, meat mnrkots, toggeries, hotels, rcstnurants in fact a person can get almost anything that can bo had in Portland, within ten minutes walk of tho St. Johns Fair site. Where is there another site that has all these advantages? Is there any other site that has the ' natural resources and advertis ing possibilities? Answer, no. is tnero any other part ot Port land where more of tho public funds were used in tho making of n Greater Portland? Answer, no. Then it is up to the pcoplo of Portland, especially those who live in or arc interested in the future of St. Johns and 1 the peninsula to get together and boost. Let us all got busy and convince to tho people of Portland, of Oregon, of the U. S. A. and to tho people of tho world at large that St. Johns. situated on tho lower end of thu peninsula, is thu ideal place on which to locate permanent ly. This is not a dream, but n proven possibility. Now then, get together and boost this pos sibility and make it a fact. This can bo done by boosting our honest convictions.

Ho said no. ho didn't wnnt anything. Shu went away and he sal an hour longer, when thu proprietor went to him and ask ed if ho wanted to bo Bhown anything. "No," said tho ner vous man, I just wanted to sit around. My physician has rec ommended quiet for me, and says above all things 1 should ayold being in a crowd. Notic ing that you do not advertise in tho newspaper, I thought that this would bo ns quiet a place as I could find, so I just dropped in for n few hours of isolation." Corvallis Republican.

Mother's Day May 8th The "Mother's Day" idea came about May 8,1910, but waa I not universally observed until 1914 when tho president issued a proclamation to be made nor mnncnt, designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day It has been expanded to include an outward demonstration of lat ent love and grntitudo to moth ers by a gift, words of appreci ntion, acts of kindness or a let tor on tho part of ovorybody. 1-Intra should be dtsn aved nt home and on all buildings, ami a white carnation should bo worn. Tho thought of "Mother's Day" originated with Miss Annn Jar vis of Philadelphia to whom tho idea came when she was asked by tho superintendent of tho Sunday school in the Virginia town in which her deceased mo ther had long been tho niovinir spirit, to arrange a memorial service. With the carrying out of this sacred duty came a re alization of the growing lack of tender consideration for nbaont mothers among worldly-minded growing children.of the thought less neglect of home tics nnd of loving consideration engendered by thu whirl nnd pressure of modern life, of the lack of res pect and duferenci! to nnnntn among children of the present generation. Airs. J. A. Campbell The loss of a loved one is nl ways sad, but when it comes suddenly is doubly hard to bear, us it was in tho passing of MrH. .1. A. Campbell. On April lSlh she was called to her reward with scarcely a moment's warn ing. Being in comparatively good health that beautiful Spring dnv, she was unusually hnppy at tho homo of her noice, Mrs. W.
