The Same Old Things

The housewife, tired Of the beast.
ly grind turned loose some thought:
that were in her mind when her
husband came from his toll at night;
She said the world didn't treat her
right. "Im always doing the
same old chores, I'm always sweep.
ing the same old floors, I'm always
washing the same old frocks. and
darning the holes In the same old
socks. I'm sick and tired of this
wretched life There Is no Joy for
the poor mans wife" The wife
Of the rich man sighed and said
Gee whizl A dame might as we'll
be dead I'm always doing my So
cial chores, I'm always wearied by
stately bores; I'm always choosing
the proper gown. I'm always mo-
toring through the town. I'm al
ways doing the SAME old thingsl
| wish, | wish, I had ten.foot wings
I'd fly away to some lowly cot, and
do stunt with a coffee potr' We
all grow tired Of the work we do,
and sigh and rant till the air Is
blue. But Il does no good, and Il
bales no hay, and the wise man
chases such thoughts away. The
world improves with each passing
year, because each man In his little
sphere, takes of his jacket and
blithely sings. aud keeps on doing
the same old things. Walt Mason.

Who Stole That Ham

Who stole the pig meat1 That
the question that is agitating the
dome of cogitation OF our genial
friend Edmondson, the plumber.
Wednesday evening Brother Ed
mondson sent a fine. fat. juicy ham
down home and his mouth was all
puckered up for "Ham and" for
breakfast. Mrs. Edmondson. like
the good wife she is, hung the ham
up in the commissary where they
keep the good things to eat that
give Brother Edmondson that con.
tented, satisfied look when he comes
TO work mornings. This room Is
reached through a door leading of
the porch. Mrs. Edmondson, just
before retiring for the night went,
about 9 o. clock, to the commissary
10 open that new ham. Imagine
her surprise when she opened the
door 10 find the ham. wrapper, and
even the appetizing odor OF the pig
meat had disappeared. Brother
kdmondson ate a hamless breakfast
yesterday morning, aud what he
wants most of all is to know who
stole that ham

A very grave responsibility rests
with Mayor Hendricks in regard to
Maple street sewer. The ordinance
providing for an exchange OF a stub
of Maple street for an easement
over the Weyerhaeuser land for th,
laying of the sewer is up TO him fol
his signature OF veto. II he vetoes
IL, prospects for the hard surfacinp
Of Jersey street go glimmering foI
this year. A blind sewer might be
built on Jersey street, but Il would
take valuable time TO go over all
the proceedings again, and then ",
do not believe property owners
could be compelled TO pay until an
outlet had been provided, Is an
end OF street that may not be OF
any value to the city for years to
come of sufficient importance to in.
definitely stay the progress on Jer
sey street, Surely not. Ii this
street, which leads nowhere, j.
ever wanted for street pur.
poses il can be secured by con
demnation proceedings at any |
time. II reverts upon vacation 10
the adjoining property owners,
and any land in the city can be
condemned for street purposes
when il is deemed expedient aud
necessary, we believe. What
would il profit the city 1t the Wey
erhaeuser Land Co. had offered an
easement for sewer purposes over
a strip of land so or 100 feet wide
instead of feetl A right of way
for sewer is all we want, aud six
feet is plenty at this time. II more
is needed later on, more can be con
demned. What the people want is
a sewer aud Jersey street improved,
snd why hesitate and haggle over a
small matter that can be adjusted
at any timer Let the city advance
instead of retrograde. We are con
fident that Mr.. Hendricks will do
what he believes to be best for the c
city, as he has done in the past,

R.W. McKeon and Paschal Hill,
who were selected by the Jersey
street property owners to investi-
gate hard surface conditions in
Eastern cities, have returned to St.
Johns. They made a very thor
ough examination of all kinds of
paving, talked with property own.
ers, officials and secured testimoni-
ais, so that they are in a position to
have full knowledge Of the subject.
Both are strongly in favor of Wes-
trumite paving as result of their
investigations. They found 1t to
be all that il was represented to be,
and more. II is lasting, noiseless,
smoothe and easily repaired. The
two will make their formal report
before a meeting of the prop
erty owners scheduled for February
"a, in the city hall.
We are fully satisfied with the re.
port, and to the best of our ability will
advocate the laying of Westrumite
paving. Having been intimately
associated with Mr.. McKeon for
several years, we have no hesitancy
in accepting his testimony on this
subject. His word is as good as
his bond so far as we are concerned.
He is man whose convictions
would not be altered by any inhu.
ence brought to bear upon il. Pas.
chal Hill is also so well known to St
Johns folks that his word will b,
accepted without question, Before
he saw Westrumite he favored Bit.
ulithic, and since he has investigat.
cd Westrumite, he favors IL, which
makes Il all the stronger for the
latter.
Therefore since the representa-.
tives, whose testimony the great
majority OF the people at least are
willing to accept, believe Westru
mite to be the best hard surfacinp
in existence. let us have Westru
mite. The best is what we want
Then II Is better to lead than to
follow. Bitulithic is good, Westru
mite Is better. We trust the prop
erty owners will unanimously favor
which will place ST.
Johns IN the lead aud also aid

Leaves St. Johns

Mrs. Alice Sucker, proprietress
of the Vogue Millinery, has sold a
half interest in her establishment to
Miss Flossie Gatchel, of Lebanon,
Oregon, aud has moved her store
to that enterprising little city. Mrs.
Sucker has been conducting her
establishment in St. Johns for a
little more than three and half
years and has made hundreds Of
friends by her kindly, gentle ways,
her bright, cheering disposition and
consistent, faithful Christian life.
Among the younger members of
society she is especially a favorite,
entering whole heartedly into their
work and play as one of them. The
church here will lose one of its
most faithful members, society one
its most delightful entertainers and
the business world Of st. Johns one
its most energetic and upright
workers. In fact, we may all wear
crepe in our buttonholes for ma"
Sucker, as the young folks love to
call her, for she was a friend to all
and had for each a bright smile or
hearty hand clasp and always a
helping hand for those In need. So,
as we take of our hats to bow
MA" Sucker out of St. Johns
circles, with just bit of envy in
in our hearts, we congratulate Leb-
anon on capturing one of our best
loved and most desirable citizens.
We understand Miss Grace will re-
main with us until the end of the
school year.

That Oregon will double it's pres
ent population during the next ten
years OF her history is the
prediction of DIR. Joseph Shafer,
head OF the department OF History
at the University of Oregon. He
draws interesting parallels between
the agricultural states of the Mid
die West and Oregon, which he
says is now facing a period similar
To that marking the periods of
heaviest settlement in the Missis-
sippi valley. He finds that Illi-
nois, Iowa, Indiana and others dou-
bled their population in ten year
periods when people sought the
cheap agricultural lands TO be had
there. He expects history to re-
peat itself in Oregon.

Hon. X. c. Couch, our well
known aud enterprising townsmau,
is deserving of large slice of cred
it for his effective work in getting
the free ferry bill through the house
and senate. The insight he gained
by being a member OF the last leg
islature served him in good stead,
and he left nothing done to have
the bill passed. 1t would be inn
possible to pick man in ST, Johns
so we'll qualified to enact such a
mission as Mr.. Couch, and his
splendid efforts are fully appreciat-
ed by the general public.

By way OF criticism it might be
stated that the Oregonian, in its
splendid special edition last Satur-
day, failed to give ST. Johns its full
need of publicity, 1t did attest,
however, that St. Johns possesses
a saw mill and stove works. A
few more of our leading industries
might have been mentioned without
any harm resulting. But for the
good it will accomplish for the
state at large it will be forgiven for
the discrepancy this time.
