Artisans Entertain Visitors.

Willumbia assembly 900 of Unit
ed Artisans met in Bickner's hall
Monday evening and entertained a
number of visitors. There were
number of distinguished guests,
among whom were Judge Robert
G.. Morrow, who is one of the orig
inal first 100 Artisan members Of
the order; Hon. H. S. Hudson Of
Tacoma, Wash, supreme master
artisan; Hon. Geo. w. Bates of
Portland, besides a good bunch
from Woodstock, who came all the
way over here to visit our Artisans.
There was a victim on hands to be
trotted over the course. He was a
husky fellow who had fallen from
grace and was glad to get back into
the fold again. The exempli6ers
had their work down to fine
point. 1t was the prettiest floor
work we have seen and If our old
assembly, Oleta, at Hood River
could have stepped in they would
have opened their eyes in surprise,
and they were not SO slow them
selves.
Just as the assembly was through
with their work, the St. Johns
band came up and rendered several
pieces Of most excellent music, Of
which a number of the visitors as
well as our own people took advan-
tage and tripped the light fantastic
with the greatest Of pleasure. Our
band is not to be sneezed at by a
man who has no teeth. Their
music will compare favorably with
that Of many bands making preten.

our lads. Our people should en-
courage the band in every way
they can for ii is hard work to or
ganize, hold together and drill a
band to do as good work as does
our band.
We must not forget to mention
our friend, w. o. Manion, supreme
medical director, who was also
present. DR.. Manion has just re-
turned from an extended visit In
Idaho. Montana, Eastern Washing
ton and Oregon. He has had a
number Of deputies In the field and
they have done splendid work.

his deputies are entering upon
systematic canvass of Portland
and suburbs. A deputy will also
be sent to St. Johns in the near
future to work for the order. We
hope our people will give him a
careful hearing.
After the band ceased playing re-
freshments were served and social

Essay on Editors

An exchange says little boy in
town was given the job Of writing
an essay ON editors, and the essay
is so true to life and so broad in
its conception, we think 1t must
have been an EDITORS boy who
wrote it, that he had been previous
ly exposed to his dad and caught
it bad. The essay reads:
II don know how newspapers
come to be in the world. don t
think God does, for He amt got
nothing to say about them and edi-
tors in the Bible. / think the edi-
tor is one of the missing links you
read of, and stayed in the bushes
after the flood, and then come out
and wrote the things up, and has
been here ever since. / don't be-
lieve he ever dies. / never saw a
dead one and never heard of any
getting licked. Our paper is a
mighty good one; but the editor
goes without underclothes all win
ter and don't wear socks and paw
amt paid for his paper since it
started asst paw If that was why
the editor had to suck the juse out
of snowballs in winter and 20 to
bed when he had his shirt washed
in summer, and then paw took me
out to the woodshed and licked me
something awful.
II the editor makes a mistake
folks say he ought to be hung; but
If a doctor makes mistakes he
buries them and people dassent say
nothing because he can read and
write Latin. When the editor
makes a mistake there Is lawsuits
and swearing and lots Of fuss; but
when doctor makes one there is a
funeral, cut flowers and perfek
silence. A doctor can use a word
a yard long without him or anyone
knowing how to spell II or what It
means; but IL editor uses II he
has to spell 1t and IL he says Il for
one thing and II means something
else he gets sewed for lybel. II
the doctor goes to see another man S
wife he charges for II; but II the
editor goes to see another man S
wife he gets charge Of buckshot
for it. When the doctor gets
drunk, its case Of being overcome
with heat and II he dies, II Is from
heart trouble; when the editor gets
drunk, its a case Of too much booze
aud II he dies, its the jimjams. Any
old college can make a doctor out
of mighty poor timber; but editor
has to be born.

If the chicks are not growing,
something is sure to be wrong with

The first Of May is a good time

weather is warmer and there is less

four-foot stick in the ground near

mind it, too.
Never fuss with the sitting hen;
let her alone. See that she is con-
stantly provided with water and
food, SO that she can help herself
At will, and then allow her to do
the rest. She knows her business.

cult court this morning by Samuel
V. Davidor. The suit Is one Of
the results Of the recent split up la

Davidor was the head.
II Is claimed by Davidor in his
suit that he is the victim Of a con-
spiracy to ruin his business and to
secure valuable telephone franchises
controlled by him and his company

franchises in Washington that con-
ilicted aud that II was In order to
wrest the control Of the latter COM
pany from him and to secure its
franchises that the defendants
brought about the publication of
newspaper articles rejecting upon
his management of the Washington
company aud his business integrity
The suit eharacterizes the articles
as "false, malicious aud scandalous"
and asserts that the same men who
secured their publication induced
Gregory f. Matien to file suit
against the plaintiff Davidor In the
circuit court and also caused his
arrest on a charge Of larceny. He
claims that when the district attor-
ney later looked into the charges
he found them to be utterly false.
Besides all that he claims that
the defendants forced him to relin-
quish valuable contracts with the
Washington Home Telephone &

Municipal Slovenliness.

1t is hoped that the new mayor
has appointed a working street
committee-onet that will see that
the streets of Our otherwise beauti-
ful little city are kept in a little
better order than did the previous
committee. To illustrate the
amount Of care the streets Of St.
Johns have had just take look up
and down Jersey street.-The only
street of any importance so far in
the city's history. Three years
ago it was improved and graveled.
Since that time not $too has been
expended in keeping it in repair
and probably far less in keeping It
clean. Great holes have been made
by the adjoining property owners
and the water company in making
connections with the water mains
and left so without care being tax
Ell to tamp the ground or retaining
the gravel for the surface as should
be. Then the Telephone Co. fills
the cutters with clay and rubbish
never cleaning them out after fin
ishing their job. Anybody stand
ing at the intersection of Philadel-
phia street looking up or down can
see all kinds of litter in the cutters,
old paper, boards, brick, ETC., in
places perfectly filthy. Municipal
slovenliness is the only appropriate
name for this state of affairs.
Our municipal taxes are now and
have been higher than Portland
where they expend thousands of
dollars each year for repairs and
street cleaning, but St. Johns with
$4,000 a year liquor license can I
put even few dollars into repairs
or cleaning, and a very pertinent
question at this time is: What is
done with all this money!" Port
land is a large city where there
may be a good chance for graft to
creep in, and yet they make some
show for the liquor license collected.
But of course we would not inti-
mate that there is graft in St.
Johns; anyway not to the extent Of
spending $1,000 in two years
even foolishly. Everybody knows
that the first thing that catches the
eye Of the prospective investor is
the streets. You may have the
streets lined on both sides with
great buildings Of fine appearance,
but IL the streets are bad, filthy
and unsightly il gives one a decid-
edly poor opinion Of the place, and
he may leave the place without
even asking a single question, thor
oughly disgusted. Then why not
clean up and repair Jersey street at
least.
A municipal association formed
in St. Johns would be to our advan.
tage without doubt.
