ST. JOHNS VIEW Re VOLUME 18 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1921. NUMBER a City Favors Exposition Tax , The result of the special elec tion has brounht forth the fact that the majority of the people in uie uitv oi Portland are in favor of having a Fair in 1925. ihrough the press nnd by ad dressing tne people at every gathering, and by the energy, time and money spent by a very few of our leading, progressive, business men, the spirit of pro gress was resurrected. The only thing needed to put this wonder ful idea before the people was a leader. Julius Meier was the man selected and he had the courage and conviction that this spirit could be brought forth. He built an organization that took the', lniormaiion ana tacts to every home and thereby showed a great many people the probable future of Portland. The efforts of Mr. Meier and his able assist ants were crowned with success: but this is only the first half of the game. Mr. Meier and his assistants will have the same thing to do in the State of Ore gon as they have done in the City of Portland. Let us pledge our selves to assist in all ways pos siole to bring about the realiza tion of the idea of Mr. F. E. Be:t;h. In all the propaganda dis tri.iuto.l a site was not men tioned on account of that onn limit which we are all subjected to, and that is solflphneas. We all OUR HOPE Oh for that priceless, glittering, crown That we shall wear up there; unugnt wun tne wood ol our dear Lord, His glory with us to share. Through years wo struggled blindly on, Through days dark and drear. We couldn't expect a nice, smooth lawn. And always praise an J cheer. Christ has commanded us to ficrht. And fight, my friend, we will We d banish sin clear out o sight If only 'twas God's will. However, friend, ifwejust fight And trust to win the score, in mansions lair and ever bright, We'll live forever more. Alfred G. Fry.

V. president, Mabel Woolley; treasurer, Ar have the sah.e idea; we want the j i" Woh or clmplain Ncllt. as DOSS ble. This is the one thing that should be bnnished from the minds of everybody. A site will be selected by a committee which will be of the most benefit the people of Portland and the State of Oregon. In all probabil ity it will be selected from the nuestionaire; that is the least ex pensive to construct; that has the acreage ncossnry. and trans portation and water facilities necessary to demonstrate the hydro-electric Exposition. Evorv community has brought forth a tdte and has turned in a report concerning every vital point rel alive thereto, 'mere will be a uroat many of us disappo nted. as the Fair can be located in one place only. This is one thing we must all hide, for when our visitors arrive we must meet them with a smile, and when they have seen the wonderful opportunities in Oregon and are leaving for thoir homes, wisli them God speed and an invitation to return and make Oregon their fuluro home. We have all real atiuut the various sites, and it is up to every one to put forth their beat olfortH for the site they think boat. In the writer's esti mation there is only one site, mi 1 that is situated on the lower on 1 of the Peninsula, adjacent to the Muncipal Terminal No. 4 and is commonly known as the St. Johns situ.
