Card of Thanks.

| wish to thank the neighbors
and friends, also the fire boys who
responded to the alarm and did all
they could to save my residence
which was destroyed by fire last
week. But it was all for naught
because our city council thought
it was not necessary to have a fire
hydrant in Point View.-W. c.

THE ROD and GUN CLUB
A Large and Interesting Shoot
Took Place Sunday.


something worth while going to
see at the range of the sportsmen
of St. Johns in the near future.
AT last weeks meeting the entire
Multnomah Rod and Gun club was
voted in and they are coming a
hundred strong or more with their
electric traps and accouterments,
the latter having been placed al
ready. Steps are being taken to
pull off a state tournament on this
range the last of this month.
Solicitors will call on the business
men of st. Johns and Portland for
advertising space in their program.
When they call on you do not take
time to discuss the matter, but just
jump in for a liberal space and
boost the thing along. 1t will
bring in host of shooters from all
over the state, and other states as
well. These, vi.a a number of
their friends who will come to see
them shoot will have to he fed and
cared for in st. Johns to a large
extent, aud will patronize St. Johns
merchants. Then when they come
let us give them the glad hand and
let them know that St. Johns is OH
the map with both feet.
The St. Johns gun club will meet
every Monday night until this
matter is fully organized and placed
on a safe and sound basis which
will take the remainder of the
month, perhaps.
AT Mondays meeting, to meet
the emergency of the state tourna-
ment work, there was elected an
assistant secretary, Jimmie Gee and
for assistant vice president, l.. II.
Mansfield. These gentlemen are
very enthusiastic and energetic
aud we anticipate most
successful termination of their
efforts.
Last Sundays shoot which is
given below was the best. il is
reported to us, in both points of
numbers and excellency of execu.
tion that has been pulled off in St.
Johns and we are assured there are
better things in sight.
One OF the pleasantest features of
the shoot was the chicken dinner
which was given by Sam Cochran
to the participants in the sports,
aud as II was free, gratis and for
nothing" everyone ''partook" and
voted IL par excellence. Sam is

MEET FARMERS HALE WAY.

This week two good farmers
from the Tualilan valley drove
over To st, Johns with loads OF but
ter eggs and vegetables, taking
advantage of the ferry accommoda-
tons To come To ST. Johns to do
their trading aud sell their products.
When they reached 81 Johns they
could not sell their loads and were
compelled To drive on To Portland
to dispose of their wares.
This is the story that has been
told us 10y two or three responsible
men whose veracity we know To be
good, II presents a problem our
business men must meet. The
question Is to meet it in the best
possible manner There is no
doubt but our business men want
all the business they can get, That
Is natural. II Is also truc that they
cannot secure the trade oi the
TualiIan farmers ii they must pay
the icrrllge of IS Ccuts per aud
