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. A very pleasing birthday party
was given in honor of Mrs. Myr-i
tlo Arronson at her home, 52S

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. The
Fraternal Boosters of Portland.
A nervous looking man went
into n store thu other day and
sat down for a half hour or no,
when n clerk asked him if there
was anything alio could do for
him. 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."

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.
W. Rogers, enjoying the after
noon with a company of friendB.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell camo
hero to reBido threo years ago
from' Spokane, nnd made many
friends in our community. She
is survived by her husband, also
sister, Mrs. George finisher, and
ncice, Mrs. W. W. Rogers, and
their families. Simple nnd im
pressive funeral services wore
conducted at the St. Jonas Un
dertaking parlors, with conclud
ing services nt Rose City ceme
tery. There were many beauti
ful floral pieces, mute reminders
of the love nnd esteem in which
she was hold.
