ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 17 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1921. tmet.' - NUMBER 40 Looking Toward the Future Evory individual at this time is looking toward the future for better business activities. The reconstruction period is just commencing and with it comes a great many hardships; At this time business of all kinds is Black and there are a great many idle people; also a great many hungry people. Portland has its quota of idle people and perhaps there are also hungry people, but soon as these needs become known their wonts are taken care of. During the war, when freak salarios were paid, a great many toners never thought of the future, but lived up to the oxtent of thoir earn ings, and .when the factories or shipyards were closed up, they began to reulizo their folly. The prices of all commodities were changed, but tlio changing of these prices causep a great muny hardships because the manufacturers and employes had many cancelled contracts and high priced materials for which they had no market, conse quently causing them to close down their mills, etc., until they could adjust their finances. That singe is about over. Mills are be ginning to open up and run ning with perhaps half a crew, and that brings to out minds tho necessity of providing a market und means of transportation of our produce to tho market. Eu rope and tho Far East aro tho markets. The means of trans portation aro by tho railroads of tho land and ships of tho seas. Everybody knows that history repeats itself, and at this time wo can prophesy fhat "Portland will bo to thu Pacific wat Now i r i a a At a iorK nas ucon 10 me Aiiaiuic. und that tho "Poninsula will bo to Portland what Manhattan !b to New York." The futuro of land is in its shipping indus- try. Jl'ho world is UBt beginning to find out the fact that Portland istno bCBt port on liio racillc and has tha facilities for hnnd-'i ling any kind of cargo; docks J where tho largost vessels may comoand go; climate which Ih Boconu tonono. we have scenery which is unsurpassed by any in tho whole world; we have un limited resources of all kinds near at hand'to make Portland the largest shipping point on the Pacific ocean. Our lumber industry und mines are meroly started and our agricultural ac tivities are in their infancy. We are just beginning to realize what wonderful opportunities Now is the Time If you have anything to sell or trade, advertise the fact in the Review. It brings results. The cost is very reasonable. The Review has. more than 6,000 readers and there is no bet ter advertising medium. Now is the time to secure ad vertising space for the Fall busi ness. Keep trade at home. There is no better way than advertising. Begin now and keep it up. Gasser's Express 202 N. Jersey St. .

The people of Portland have just cause for feeling proud, for they arc the ones who are letting the world know about Oregon and the great Northwest Never was there a more opportune time fo advancement. Portland is situ ated betweon two mighty rivers, practically the same as New York, and the busiest part of New York is on the lower end of the Manhattan Peninsula, and the busiest part of Portland will be on tho lower end of the Pen insula. At this time over two thirds of the 600 manufactur ing plants in Portland are on the Peninsula. Our largest indus tries are all on tho Peninsula, meaning tho Bawmills, dry docks, stock yards, flouring mills, woolen mills, veneer plants and also municipal terminal No.4. lheso industries employ many men and women, and it is up to the people of Portland to get more industries, and as the west side of Portland is practically al taken up with the retail district and has no more industrial sites these new industries will have to bo placed on tho cast side of tho Willnmetto river, so it is the oonortuno time for the pea pie of the Peninsula to wake up and get busy and ndvertiso tho wonderful industiiul sites that we have, situated along tho banks of tho Willamette slough?. j Joe Roberts, Secretary Prater nal Boosters of Portland.

For some unaccountable rea son or is it ignorance of the physical and social geography ol tne city the rortland prei3 is unanimous in persistently placing all of the l'eninsuia dis tricts in St. Johns. St. Johns justly repudiates the ever reit erated statement in tho Port land papers that tho Agee mur der was staged within its boundaries. 'University Park was a completo and integral district of Portland before St. Johns was annexed, is a long dis tance from St. 'Johns, is quite as large in a way and has an identity as marked and as well established as any dis trict in the city. The city council also denies the Peninsula dis tricts any identity and when it is deemed necessary to make any street improvements in Albina, they are assessed for the cost and St. Johns is loft out. If it is strictly necessary tovicny us the use of tho legally re corded name of our district, kindly place us in Irvington, Laurelhurst or Piedmont for a change and relievo St. Johns of a responsibility it dooj not caro to assume. Wo would respect fully suggest that each Portland paper procure a mat) of tho city and look up the location of tho streets. "Druid street in St. Johns" is ridiculous. St. Johns is in a highly respectable and Brogrcssivo district und so is fniversity Park, but each dis triot is satisfied to stay on its own side of the S. P. &S.K. cut. Tho street car faro from Uni versity Park to St. Johns is eight cents. Both districts aro reached by tho samo car line which may probably bo an ex cuse for a strangtr confounding one district with the other, but it is scarcely pardonable in high class newspapers such ns PRICES AUGUST Mcn'a Wool Shirts Top Grade Dress Shoes Good Work Shewn Best Work Shoes Good Grade Oxford Silk Shirts Silk Knit Ncktics Dress Shirts Dress Shirts Dress Shirts Dress PnntH Dress Pants Work Punts Khaki Pants Coveralls Panama Hats Silk Hosiery GOOD QTUl'l AT THIS ItlQHT ittCJ ROGERS THE RAINCOAT MAN BMk of CoiMMfce ea4uig ST.

This pretense wns enrried to grcnt lengths at one time, nnd tho cere mony took on some points of likeness to tho bridal customs of savnge coun tries, for the speaker wns expected to mnko a show even of physical re slstnnce when led to the chnlr. It wns not nn orlglnnl custom of the house. Far bnck In history It npinmrs that speakers protested to tho house and to the crown ngnlnst their clec Hon only when they really did not want to ho appointed. It seems to have been under the Tudorn thai n ridiculous subservience wns Imported nul It wn expected of tho speaker, that ho should "make repented e cuscs nnd declare himself unworthy of election." It Is Hard to Do AccuraU. Can you exactly descrlbo what you sec? If you can, you are cleverer thnn most persons. A book recently published In Tarts relates that at meeting of scientific men two of them suddenly began to quarrel. Under pretense of obtaining legal evidence the president of the meeting usknd everyone present to write an exact report of what had happened. The qmirrrl wns a pure piece of uctlng arranged to test the powers of ob servntlon of thu men present. Though thu nssetnbly was composed entirely of Jurists, psychologists nnd doctors, only ouu report contained less thnn 20 ier cent of error; 1.1 rv ports hnd more thnn CO per cent wrong; nnd In 34 reports from 10 to 15 per cent of the details were wholly linnglunry. When men of science enn so err wo cnu understnnd how onHlly tho ordinary man can go astray.

Tho IoroI functions of the Prost dent's office nro so eminent thnt ho ennnot escape, tho responsibilities of executive action, however much ho mny bo Inclined to avoid them. Ills constitutional powers nlonc make him tho pivot upon which nil tho adminis trative machinery operates. Ho appoints the heads of depart ments and may direct their major pol icies, Ills power of appointment to nil the greater ofllccs Is far reaching. Ha can recommend, shnpo nnd veto legislation. His control over foreign Affairs Is virtually complete. Ho Is commander In chief of tho army nnd tho navy. In short, ho Is tho most potent constitutional functionary In tho wnrtd. All theso constitutional powers have been vastly augmented by practice nnd custom. Tho President today can do Innumerable things thnt George Washington or Thomas Jefferson would never Imvo dared do even If they had thought of them. Tho constitutional conception of tho President Is that of n chief ejocutlve, nn administrator; custom has added to this conception that of leadership, of Initiation. Huinuel P.
