A. d. Moe, the genial proprietor
of the Glacier, Hood River, Ore,
was a visitor IN St. Johns last week.
II Brother Moe had but deferred
his visit until this week we would
have had nice sunshiny weather in
which to tote him around and show
him the beauties of our city. Come
again A. ID. when J. Pluvius is
asleep.
When we take into considera-
ton the fact that hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars are being put into
the city every month In the install.
lation Of new industries and im.
provement Of residence property,
II does not take a prophet to tell
that within a very few years we
shall reach the billion mark Ia the
value Of our real estate.
We received this week a sample
copy Of the North Bank Bulletin, a
six column four page paper pub
lished at Cliffs, Wash, the new
division station on the Hill road
east OF The Dalles. We note in
the local column that our old till
cum. c. A. Hickle. has located
there permanently and will prob
ably open real estate Office In
that hustling berg.
The University of Oregon Is
planning loan fund Of at least
5000. based on the belief that a
loan is better than an outright gift
in the form Of scholarship. Some
subscriptions have already been
made to the fund. and a number OF
prominent men OF the state have
agreed to guarantee accounts up to
$500. President Campbell is using
his best efforts to raise the entire
$1,000 this year II possible.
II is told as a joke on Mrs. C.
w. Dunbar that recently she was
in Portland and passing one of the
stores she made purchase which
was carelessly wrapped for her, as
is too often the case with dealers
there. Mrs. Dunbar put the pur-
chase under her arm and proceeded
up the street. Presently she no
ticed chat she was attracting con-
siderable attention among the pc
destrians and could not imagine
what was the occasion until a Chi
naman with Roosevelt expression
on his phiz walked entirely around
her as she was passing along and
asked. WAR club, heyi" Then
Mrs. Dunbar "tumbled. Just
ask her.
We are in receipt of every cheer
ing letter from our good friend. ].
K. Kiger OF Normal, H., in which
he expresses his appreciation of
the Review and likens it to letter
from friends in St. Johns. declares
his qualification at the growth OF
St. Johns and transmits his good
wishes for our continued prosperity
here He also wishes to be remem-
bered to the friends here. All of
which we appreciate very much
and only wish that our good sub
scriber who hooks his subscription
up another year, would find it tol
his betterment socially, financially
and physically to come back home
and live with us again.
