her old patrons at her once IN tn
Holbrook Block.
Mrs. M. +. Scott still has som,
fine rooms to let at The Lloyc
rooming house, corner of Leavit
and Ivanhoe streets. If you wan
good rooms, here's your chance.
Mrs. c. M. McKinnie and hei
daughter, Sarah, of Augusta, Kas.
are visiting their daughter and
sister, Mrs. A. M. Essen, the
better part of OUR genial city re-
corder.
Madam Rumor has it that Drug.
gist Jackson is soon to take unto
himself helpmeet and that he is
now preparing cozy nestingplace
on the corner of Baltimore and Phil
adelphia streets. Here's hoping
that the Madam may not be mis-
taken.
We wish to call attention to the
article on the free library. Mrs.
7. T. Parker is doing good work
there. She is denying herself Of
nearly all the social enjoyments of
the city for the good Of the people,
young and old. She cannot do it
all alone. Let our citizens make
it point to assist her by reading
at least one book week. This is
an opportunity to secure good
reading none should miss.
His Honor, X. c. Couch, es-
capped from the cite between
two days and is spending his time
these degenerate days somewhere
between here and tine north pole.
II he catches Peary or some other
polar bare, he will present the
catch TO the Portland 700. The
mayor never asked us II he might
go. and there is no telling what
trouble he will get into before he
gets back. We trust he will bring
back with him a bunch of Michi-
ganders or Wolverines to make up
for the time he is absent.
The new building being erected
OIL North Jersey street by I'D +.
Day will be occupied when finished
by Leroy II. Smith with his real
estate Office and Attorney II. l..
Collier with his law Office. These
gentlemen will have a hreproof
vault placed in the building. A
6reproof vault inside fireproof
building will sound pretty good to
the clients Of these enterprisipg
gentlemen who may wish to leave
valuable documents in their hands.
II speaks well for the business
qualifications Of these young men
aud we wish them the best of sue
cess in their new location. This
they will surely win II they follow
this line Of progressiveness in all
OF their transactions.
Ballagh Bros. the popular bak-
ers who have been dong business
In the French block since last June
aud who have worked up a splendid
business, sold their bakery this
week to Kniffel Bros. who will
continue the business at the same
location. Messrs. Ballagh and
Mrs. l.. !. Ballagh will return to
their old home at Ottumwa. Iowa,
to spend the holidays, but will
come back after that date and To-
cate either here in St Johns or in
Portland. They are delighted with
the country here and the oppor-
tunities, are energetic progressive
fellows, just the kind who can do
the best here. as we'll as anywhere
they may cast their lot, and we
trust they will be back here and
doing business again in the spring.
Ex-Governor Fletcher returned
Wednesday evening from his visit
to his old home in Prince Edwards
Island. Mr.. Fletcher says he has
come back this time to stay. That
there is no place on the face of the
earth quite so good as Oregon, aud
St. Johns. He had a
most delightful time with his old
friends, but they kept him very
busy delivering lectures all the
time he was there, delivering I9l
during his visit. While crossing
the states Mr.. Fletcher noted the
evidence of great prosperity every
where. but thought he would not
live there under any consideration
because of this country being so far |
ahead of the older states in point of
beauty and climate. II is the ver-
dict of every person who has spent |
enough time in Western Oregon or
Washington to become acquainted
with the delights of this section of
our country.

Manufacturing NJ company, returned
