| II you want to hear some Of the
ancient history Of "Uncle Bill'' Nc
Keon, just get his niece, Miss
Jeanette Ogden, to describe his
appearance when he was a cute
little sissy boy with his curls OIL

present.
There were doin's at Odd Eel
lows hall Monday evening and six
victims were trotted over the ''hot
rocks" of the second course In their
tour. 1t was an interesting occasion

Gently in his fathers Office in Asto-
ria, is visiting here this week.

colors announcing the readiness Of
the "Owl Printery" as Mr. Thorn

Eleventh street. Astoria.
Miss Hazel Olinger. one Of Hood
Rivers pretty black-eyed girls, has
been visiting her uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. +. 10y and other
relatives in the city the past two
weeks. Miss Olinger likes St.
Johns very much and wishes she
could remain here permanently,
but there is an attraction at Hood
River which forbids It, and we do
not think his name is John, either.
We will look for them both to
locate here in the sweet subse-
quently, however.

Mr.. and Mrs. ID. II. Horsman,
who have been making an extended
tour of the eastern states were re-
Gently in Grand Island, Neb.,
where we once lost everything
we had of this worlds goods, by
the hot winds and depression
which they caused, and which
causes us to love that country as
his satanic majesty Is said to love
holy water. Writing to her father,
Councilman Leggett, Mrs. Hors-
man says they have been having
lovely weather a good share Of
their trip, but there is no place like
Oregon and nothing equal to St.
Johns. That was just our exper
ience on our recent trip east and
everybody we hear of going east
says the same thing and II is occur
ring SO often that il makes us be-
lieve it.
Our friend ]. ]. Hansaker left
with us copy of Ready Money"
by George II. Knox for our perus-
al. 1t is book written especially
for boys and young men and is the
best work ON business principles
we have ever read. 1t is worth its
weight in gold to any young man
IL he will use it for his text book
in his work of building for himself
a business character. 1t Is force
full and to the point. yet as inter-
esting as a novel; sound in its eth
ical teachings, yet not tedious in
presenting them. 1t is most
heartily endorsed by such illustri-
ous personapes as Iohn Hay. L II
