Wrttottia Entered as second-class nutter August 4, 1922, at the post office at Vernonia, Oregon, nnder the Act of March 3, 1879 VERNONIA, OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1924 MOUTHPIECE of the NEHALEM VALLEY WE MUST CLEAN UP THE OLD TRASH T 4 Every citizen, if interested in your town, must back up the Council in regard to cleaning up the city. We have had orders from the State Health Department and from the State Fire Marshal, and it must be done. The committee on health, fire and police and streets is calling attention to this now, and expect each and all to heed in the order, so that it will not be necessary to go to extremes. It is to the interest of all, and is done because it is necessary. All boxes, trash, boards, carts in the alleys, especially behind the stores and in all corners, must be gotten rid of at once. Give the Boy Scouts a job. All alleys must be kept open. That woodpile must be ricked up out of the alley immediately, so it wont be necessary to make any arrests. No store or citizen can, from now on, dump boxes or trash in Rock Creek. Let us all enforce this order now by getting our own surroundings cleaned up. No more slop can be thrown out of windows. Volume 2, Number 26 Paul Robinson, Editor and Owner COLUMBIA COUNTY Advertising Medium of a Big Pay Roll Community MECHANICAL BOOKKEEPER ITS'AN EMERGENCY Might Save Accidenta The city will have to install a few street lights. It is necessary to put a few lights on Bridge street, at least. A dozen lights or less would help greatly in muddy weather and make it safer going home. One at the school, one at Keasy road corner, one at Rose avenue across the track where all traffic must make the turn; one in front or near each church and each school. WELL-BUILT HOMES Speed and Quality Making Attractive Homes in Vernonia’s Resident Districts The sign spelled, “A Poke’s Store”; spider read, and then he said, “Homeseeking days are o'er.” Ills silken web he spun across the door, and nevermore was roused by any one. “Why should I advertise? Gosh I I’ve been here nigh twenty year with this same line of ties! If folks come down this way, they all can see that here I be.” Thus Merchant Poke would say. But on another street, a dealer true advises you of wares and prices meet. The shoppers strain his doors; and with their scads he runs more ads, and builds up two more floors I Then to this tale give heed— and if you’d nurse a well-lined purse, just emulate Hi Speed. For in this very space he tells folks all, both short and tall, of bargains in his place. The Bank of Vernonia has just nstalled a new adding machine, or bookkeeping machine that is almost human as to accuracy. It is opperated by electricity, ads the colums, tota's and moves from column to column without the use of a hand. It is the latest and best machine for bookkeep ing and trank work that can br secured. OOOOO XXX/ Q XXX» LOCAL NEWb.
