St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1907-07-19

FRIDAY, JULY 1o, 1907.
The deputies from the sheriff S
office were over in St. Johns Sunday
and screwed the lid down tight on
the slot machines. A careful can
vass of the city found but one ma
chine open and it shut up like a
steel trap with an admonition from
the officers that if it showed up a
gain there would be something do
ing.
Swift and Company who are
dredging Columbia slough and fill
in the low places are true to their
name. They are swift, all right
Running crews night and day, every
day and Sundays. There is no doubt
but these people mean business and

will build right over to the little
town to be started there. Nothing
like it. The more the merrier
Things are coming right down the
pike for St. Johns. The only thing
to do is to get in the swim and do
our part, everyone of us. Lets do it.
