Little Miss Pennington eye
which she accidentally burned a

accident, but it was very painful
at the time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Demorest of Hood
River were in the city sizing up
the mercantile situation with view
to locating should an agreeable
opening present. We were pleased
to see our old friends and hope they
may find something to suit them
here.
The way the fish are being hauled
out of the river by the local nimrods
is caution. Every youngster who
knows enough TO pull his line out
when he gets a bite comes home
with large string of "croppies"
and bull heads. The river seems
to literally swarm with this species
OF fish.
With the energy characteristic
OF Portland business enterprises the
Hazelwood creamery proposes as
soon as the bricks cool enough for
work to begin the finishing Of their
new home burned Monday. The
walls have been found to be little
damaged by the FIRE.
The city boarding house In the
basement OF the city hall is recciv-
ing its concrete floor this week and
the sleeping apartments are being
fitted up in FIRST class style. II is
the coolest place in the city and the
patrons OF that institution will
have no cause to complain Of their
accommodations.

Mrs. Stanley. They will extend
their trip to Seattle and stop at St.

are greatly pleased with ST. Johns

but Wildwood court has a showing
that is hard to beat. ii. G: Odgen
was over there Saturday and
brought over young maple which
showed a growth of I3 feet this
year. We think that takes the bun
for timber building in this neck of
the woods.
The Portland Collapsible Box Co.
is putting up some samples of their
which they will display
at the state fair in Salem. They
will also have the same on display
at the county fair at Gresham. This
shows a spirit of progressiveness
worthy of emulation on the part OF
many more OF our citizens. We
trust St. Johns will be we'll repre-
sented at both of these shows.
The fine three story brick, the
new home of the Hazelwood cream
cry near the end of the steel bridge
was burned Monday forenoon. The
fire was caused by the explosion of
a gasoline heater used in the asphalt
work in the building. A loss by
fire is always the most regrettable,
from the fact that it is wholly a
loss, there is no redeemable feature,
no one derives any benefit from it.
The world is just so much poorer.
The loss was $50. 600.
