Complaints have been uttered
from time TO time concerning the
rotten" service of the trolley line.
But Is il rottenl On the contrary,
isn't Il one of the greatest conven-
fences we havel In some respects
II is not first class, but isn't Il as
much as can be expected OF
suburban sefvicep IL is true the
cars are generally crowded by th,
time they reach Piedmont from
ST. Johns, yet il is seldom that the
cars are uncomfortably filled when
they leave St, Johns. More often
can only a dozen or less passengers
be found in the cars as they leave
here Is that sufficient reason foI
better service than now obtainsl In
dollars aud cents, no. IL will be
noticed that cars on other lines are
crowded as badly at certain times
OF the day as on the 81. Johns
line. The city is expanding all tie
time, more cars are being added,
more lines laid, more power being
provided for, and a thousand and one
expenses that the general public
seldom realize. The time no doubt
will shortly arrive when the Port
land Railway company will con-
struet another line To ST. Johns
which will be more direct aud with
less stops. But until then there is
really no reason to complain. II
we had no service at all there would
be something to murmur about.
But since II IS possible to reach
Portland in less than an hour, leave
every 20 minutes or less and have
a seat when we leave here az least
Il is not SO bad as It is sometimes
painted, We have noticed the ser
vice in Chicago, Pittsburg, Los
Angeles, and other cities. and we
do not see where they have "the |
edge" over Portland service. They |
are all crowded, all make frequent
stops with few exceptions, aud the
speed is no greater unless il be be
tween Los Angeles and Long Beach
where a good grade and right OF
way is assured. The next time one
feels inclined to kick al the car ser,
vice he should put himself la the
position and consider
how he would remedy the evil and
at the same time keep up all the in,
cidental expenses Man is prone
to growl at corporations, yet with
out them there would have been no
Portland, no St, Johns, unless the
owned the railroads,
II requires the combination OF cap
Ital to do big things, Corporations,
like individuals, will take as much }
as they can get--aud no more, And
strange as II may seem, they are
worthy OF credit for the
hings they do, but never get it. !
The acts OF corporation are never -
commended, always condemned
That seems to be human nature. :

Another Memorial Day has come
and gone, reminding ms while scat
tering flowers on the graves of
loved ones that they died that we
might live in peace aud plenty.
Our w. X. G. had a busy day.
First came the presentation of a
beautiful flag by the school children
OF ~. Johns which leads us to know
that their loyalty to their country
is true and their love for the old
soldier who can doubt itl
The long wait for the street car
at our station gave us only time to
gain our ranks at the Hill grove
Gods FIRST temples.) We feel as
II we should give a vote OF thanks
To the owner, another kindness TO
remember. The w. X. c. went
through their ceremony aud then
they and their Post returned TO the
G.. A. X. hall where lunch was
served to eight long tables OF Post
aud friends after which we listened
10 a program suitable for the occa.
sion. Thanks TO those who served
food for the body as well as food
for the mind, We were pleased to
Sc how ST. Johns observed Decora-
tion Day. They have our thanks.
and also the satisfaction that comes
to all in observing a day that has
come through many tears in days
long gone by, while we remember
those:
"Whose days of strife are over,
Where the weary rest for aye;
Where earth's shadows never enter,
Those bright realms OF endless
day"

Of one mill in the tax OF every prop

the dock is leased or not Appar-
emily there is no chance whatever
to lease Il In It's present condition,
and II would be very easy to as
certain II il could be leased after
the sidetraeks had been provided
for, by advertising for bids OF lease
with the proviso attached that the
city would provide the same. II is
a shame to allow the splendid dock
to remain idle when by the expendi-
ture OF a little more money Il might
be a scene Of hustle aud activity.

Editor Review Our Memorial
Day has come aud gone, and with
full attendance, our w. r. c.
with our Post attended the pre-
Memorial Day services at the St.
Johns M. Il. church. The preach
er, who is the son of an old soldier,
talked to us with the spirit and un-
derstanding. As next to being at
the front comes our loved ones tell.
ing us of the times that tried men S
souls, and women's too, Gas never
shall forget when in my roth year,
| watched for the stage to come
from the front, as my brother in
Co. A of the Old Minnesota Ist
was tasting his first real trouble at
the battle of rst Bull Run. The
remembrance is very vivid after
these long years. May Memorial
Day last as long as we have a free
country. We can we'll say:
Every year our numbers lessen,
Death is thinning out our ranks.
And we're marching to the river
Even now we're on its banks.
Soon well cross the swelling current
Land upon the other shore
Greet our comrades gone before us,
And be parted nevermore.

Washington.-Uncle Sam became a
full-nedged banker Tuesday when
an experimental postal savings
bank was opened in every state and
territory in the Union, Ia accordance
with the postal savings bank bill
passed at the second session of the
Sixty-first congress. The postoffices
designated to accept deposits are all
of the second class, and are located
in communities where the laboring
element of the population is large.
For the past month Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock has had the various
postmasters who will handle deposits
in Washington instructing them in re-
gard to the details of the new system.
Following is list of the cities
where postal banks were opened:
Globe, Ariz.; Oroville, Cal; Lead

is believed that this quarter of one
per cent. difference will be sufficient
to meet all necessary expenses OF
conducting the postal savings deposit
tories.
A careful study of the law creating
postal savings banks makes it clear
that the government will be bene
fitted largely. and that within a year
or two after the system has been in
operation Uncle Sam may have all the
money necessary to meet deficiencies

Los Angeles, Cal.-Arch Hoxsey,
the holder of the worlds altitude rec

while attempting to break that mark.
Hoxsey was descending from a
flight made in the face of a gale

abandon their efforts for the day. He
had come down to 563 feet of the

and was whirled over and over as 1t
came tumbling toward the earth.
Hoxsey was dead when taken out
of the wreckage of his machine. APP
parently his life had been crushed out
by the weight of the motor, which
was wrenched from its position in the
aeroplane by the force of the impact
with the earth.
New Orleans.-John B. Moisant, ma
tive of Chicago and one of the worlds
most daring and successful aviators,
was killed Saturday by being thrown
out of Bleriot monoplane.
The accident happened at time

seat assumed an angle that made 1t
impossible for the aviator to keep his
place, and he shot down head first.
