deputy assessor for st. Johns in
accordance with the suggestion Of
our friend, S. c. Cook and il there
are any kicks coming on the next
assessment it will save our people
the car fare necessary to personally
register a kick with the assessor.
We sympathize with Mr.. Rogers.

Philadelphia and Tacoma streets.
The only kick we have heard reg
istered is that Of Mansfield, the
whisker scientist. He laments the
passing Of his duck pond on Taco

street is gone since that placid lake
has been removed. He has our
sympathy.

w. +. Neff, one of our good
Hood River friends was in the city
Wednesday and made this Office a
pleasant visit. Mr.. Neff sold his
Hood River home last summer at a
good round price and has recently
purchased 2o-acre home near
Cornelius where he will make his
home in the future. We hope he
will make 1t as we'll there as he did
at Hood River for he is a fine fell

There came near being another
frightful calamity in an Ohio town
and this time it would have been
OF greater interest to St. Johns, as
niece of Mayor Couch, Miss Cor
rine Boulton was a pupil in the
school which burned. II was a
very large structure containing 81
rooms and over 1000 pupils attend

pupils would all have been in their

eryone must feel grateful that these
young people were spared the dan
ger of such an experience.
