All the Rebekahs should take

to hurry or you will get left.
1 Gordon Bragg. an old Hood Riv-
erite, now in the employ Of Cadsby
& Co., Portland, was in the city
Tuesday and called for a few mo.
ments to say hello. Gordon is all
right, Is a good employee and will
vote for Tom Word which shows
that his heart Is In the right place.
/ George l.. Perrine returned Mon
day from an extended visit at Kel-
so where he has been engaged In
the erection of three story brick.
II Is about time that big brick tina,
80 much has been said about was
being put up here. Tuesday George

ty, to help erect another big build
ing.
| The Rebekah's are going In q
body In their own chartered car Ia
Vancouver next Saturday. tomor-
row. to visit their sisters across the
river. A week from tonight the
Odd Fellows are going to do the
same thing That Is something
like There Is nothing so fraterual
as brotherly aud sisterly visits, ex-
cept more Of them.
Mr.. Drinker Of the First Nation
al bank has something that Is
good for the sore eyes. II Is q
bunch Of crisp new bills Of ST..
Johns money. There are two de-.
nominations. S. aud SIo hills.
These new bills were received from
the department at Washington last
week. and are being pat into circu-
lation by the bank. They are good
to look at and better to carry
around with you. '''
Il. c. Mounich returned from his
farm near Scio where he has been
spraying his trees. He reports the
prospects good for q bumper crop
Of fruit this year. Thinks he win
make as much or more than the
entire place cost him. 4. c. Is a
good fellow and we hope he has
struck a bonanza. and II he will
continue to make St. Johns his
home we hope he will double his
money every year.
Mr.. Willis. who recently lived
on North Jersey street. moved
Tuesday TO wildwood Court where
he will build a house at once.
There Is q keen interest being cre-
ated In the fine. new residence dis
trict opposite St. Johns aud the
fact that the United Railways are
to build q line at once along the
foot Of the tract will make the
property values 60 up In q hurry.
II would be a good plan to get
hold OF something there before the
rise. We did.
The trustees of the NJ. +. church
have held meeting at which they
decided to sell at least two Of the
lots of their property where the
church Is located In order TO liquid
ate their Indebtedness on the prop
erty. This will give them enough
room for their church building and
the parsonage. We think this is q
very wise move. Paying rent and
interest are two things which look
lots to US like pouring sand down
rat hole aud the church or indi-
vidual who Is able to cut out either
or both has reached q happy stage
In their existence.
Editor Review: The question
is often asked me whether / think
It pays US to carry our advertise
ment and In commeudatiou Of the
Review ! wish to say: Last week
we put on q rug special and adver-
tised II only in the Review and
our windows. The result was per-
fectly satisfactory to us and three
customers mentioned Of their own
accord that they had not intended
to buy yet but noticed our adver-
tisement In the Reviev and decided
