TALKING SMELTER.
Figures Show That I. .Smeltcr Would
Aid 81. Johns and Portland.

a. ID. Leroy, president OF the
Bohemia Smelling and Railway
Company, was in the city yester-
day with a proposition which, #
the people OF ST. Johns aud Port
land accept, will prove a great im-
petus to the growth and the values
OF this locality.
Mr. Leroy proposes that his COM
pany erect a public smeltcr IN st.
Johns. II will he equipped for all
grades of all kinds of ores and
from its blow.in there promises to
he good money for the investors.
Those who know anything of smcl
ters are aware that there Is iar
greater return for the money in
vested in that industry than in any
other line.
One great advantage 10 Portland
would accrue by this establishment
il would open To that city method
of gaining the Alaskan trade OF a
million dollars a month-as vessels
bringing the ore would not return
there empty. Hence, every busi-
ness man in that city should take
an interest in this location,
TO secure the plant here means
that ten thousand shares OF stock
at $40 per share must be promptly
taken in this vicinity. No bonus
is demanded, II looks like a sure
winner. II is up To us, Will the
chance be takenl

CASE INVESTIGATED.
Case Reported In Last Weeks Is TIC
Was Not As Reported.

Last week we published a re
print brought us from a Portland
paper relative to Mr.. and Mrs
Robert Hardy, who were described
as suffering for necessities of life
while living i'll a tent Iear North.
ern Hill. But it seems that the
condition of the family was greatly
exaggerated.
Rev. +. l.. Yonng, of the Metho-
dist church, took pains to investi-
gate the case and found that the
metropolitan writer had been mis-
informed. The son, Robert Hardy,
lives with his wife in a nice, COM
Portable house-while his very
aged parents, by choice, live i'll a
tent in the yard. Their meals are
taken in the house: and while the
son has not much of this world S
goods he is not so poor that the
family suffers. He owns the
premises and is struggling hard to
hold possession.
After the article appeared in
THE REVIEW many articles were
left at the home-for which all
were grateful: but a job of work
would be more pleasing. While
there was some truth in the tale
that was told it was too highly
colored-and led the reader to I'M.
agine things were worse than they
really were.
One remarkable thing about Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Hardy is that
they are the Oldest couple in Multi
nomah county. They have five
children--all living: Albert, James,
John d., Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Tur-
ney the eldest 6s, and the young
est 81. The couple have been mar
ried more than 6o years and there
has not been a death in the family
for So years.

Packing House Coming.

Three months ago THE REVIEW
stated that a packing house and
abaltoir was soon to be located at
ST. Johns. Some thought It a
dream-and smiled,
Swift * Company have now
made arrangements To absorb the
Union Meat Company, and have Sc
cured options on a large tract OF
land here, just north of the city,
II is the intention OF the Swift
people to move their stockyards
and plant from Troutdale to this
point. That was one incentive for
the O. X. * n. Company to push
around this way-and the same
may be said of the Northern
Pacific.
This is another indication that
what THE REVIEW says is just
about so.
