St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1907-03-15

AT so cents a head il is rather a
paying proposition to organize an
union.
There is some consolation in the
fact that other cities besides ST.
Johns are having their political
troubles.
Three thousand homeseekers
from the frost bitten middle west
landed in Portland during the week,
and there are more to come, for
there is plenty of room in Oregon
for all.
Owing to the recent order of the
president about i2l townships in
the Roseburg land district are with.
drawn from entry. Practically no
land now remains that can be filed
upon.
Whatever damage, IL any, has
been done by Gov. Chamberlain
with his little veto, no one has yet
been discovered who will criticize
him or defend the actions of the
recent legislature.
The Thaw trial has brought out
the fact that the mother of Mrs.
Thaw was much worse than her
daughter. Her exposure of Mrs.
Thaws past shows what an unnat
ural mother She is. Even a jackal
will defend its young.
For legal reasons which The
Review cannot explain County
Judge Webster has refused To ap-
point a justice of the peace for ST.
Johns, and the city will remain in
the district covered by the Mt.
Tabor court now presided over by
Judge I, &. Shrevc.

st. Johns, aud we might say the
entire peninsula, has lot OF fruit
trees that have passed their useful,
ness aud ought To he cut down aud
burned. While they bear some
fruit, Il is OF quality that makes
II practically worthless. These
trees, trunk and branch. are GOV.
cred with scale, aud their dcstruc.
iion will he a great help To those
who are making an attempt to raise
perfect fruit.
Poor old Dowie has finally passed
IN his checks aud taken his place
IN old Mother Earth, What q
splash IN the world did the old man
makel As an instance of how men
will follow false gods Dowic was
bowling success, Why such Great,
urcs are created is a mystery. A
man with great ability, but in the
comedy OF life he was roaring
farce.
The strike of the lumber hand
lers, causing the shutdown of nu-
merous saw mills, is an episode
To he deplored, Al this time OF
the year when building operations
were preparing Ia open up ia full
blast It's effect will be far reaching.
Building will be retarded, business
will suffer and the stride of progress,
he seriously impeded The pric,
OF lumber will take another upward
tilt God knows il is high enough ,
now and fuel will try and keep
pace with il, II is To be- hoped the /
trouble may he amicably adjusted :
At an early date aud the hum of the F;
'aw once more be heard in the land
With all kinds of industries c
'acked by ample capital seeking 4
desirable locations on the Pacific
oasl It does seem as though enough /
interest should he taken in the ST. d
ohns Commercial club to advertise
he advantages of the town. A
more ideal site than the lower pen p
nsula tor large OF small industries
annoi be found in the west. But
5 long as they are kept under -
ushel no one will find them. While
here are numerous so-oalled boost. :
rs here ready to take advantage of p
and everything that will
ersonally benefit them, there are
ot enough of the dyed in-the-wool &C
ind who will work for the interests Sc
I the whole city. d'
