Rev. ]. II. Leiper, field secretary
for the National Sabbath associa-
ton, speaks next Sunday morning

Miss Grace Sucker went over TO
Vancouver last week to attend a
function given by a young ladies'
club Of which she Is a member.
She reports a most delightful time,
all kinds Of fun and good things to
eat. Her story sounds so good
that we are tempted to send In an
application for membership. The
young ladies could have the time
Of their lives teaching US to ride
their goat OH a side saddle.
Il. Vandermeer sold all his hold
ings in St. Johns last week. Van
says II Is not because he does not
like St. Johns, for he thinks St.
Johns Is a great place. He says
here Is where he got his start and
he made Il in real estate. He has
purchased a big farm up the valley
and expects to give his attention
more closely to that. We will
make this prediction, that II will
not be a year until Van Is back
here picking up city property.
Rumors are constantly being met
affirming that Schwartxchild &
Sulzberger will put in an immense
packing plant which will make the
Swift plant look like 80 cents.
That this big packing company
will build Is not doubted by any
one. There is another thing to be
considered and that Is there Is no
place so suitable as the peninsula
for establishing this plant near
Portland. There will be some
thing doing this summer in and
about St. Johns.

Blythe will be in St. Johns today
in attendance at the meeting Of the
G. A. r. We put in several years
Singing type for Mr.. Blythe at
Hood River and we are anticipat-
ing a good visit from him. He is
one of Gods noblemen. Honest
as the sunshine, kind hearted as a
woman and not afraid of anything
or anybody when it comes to a
matter of principle. May his life
be spared many years to enjoy the
country he fought three long years
to save.

ness in Goldendale, Wash, but is

tion. having California as a view
point. Mr.. Melgarde is much i'm
pressed with Portland aud vicinity

return here. Let US hope he finds
nothing to suit him better than the
City Of Roses.
