The project launched by the
Commercial club last week to Sc
cure and maintain continuous
ferry service is most surely a
move in the right direction, and
something that should come to
pass with the least possible de-
lay. No objection to such an in
novation should come from any
source. The people are paying
for the service, and it should be
made just as good as il possibly
can be made. II would entail
some extra work on the part of
the employees, but they are get
ting good pay for the short hours
which they labor plenty to pay
them for working continuously.
BY all means let us have continu-
Gus ferry service, and the quick
er il becomes in vogue the bet
ter il will please all who have
occasion TO use the service.

Only a few short days more
and 1912 will become a thing of
the past. lt contained It's full
need of the joys and sorrows of
life, and il is well that IL is
about 10 pass into oblivion and a
new year be ushered in. We
know now what has been accom-
plished and achieved during the
past year, but what will the new
year bring forth? Shall the city
of st. Johns prosper and develop
TO u degree beyond any year in
the past, or shall il merely drift
along? There are things in the
air. although somewhat indef-
mite as yet, that portend a glor-
ious year for ST. Johns. Better
car service and more of il is one
of the things that seems likely TO
occur, which will mean n most
valuable leverage TO increase the
population and interest outside
capital. Better streets are being
laid and i'm course of development
that will mean a paved highway
from st. Johns 30 the heart of
Portland. Free delivery of mail
will be inaugurated with the com
ing of the new year. which is
also a progressive step. Several
proposed new industries are SER
iously considering the feasibility
of locating i'm st. Johns, and one
or two parties are becoming in
terested in securing the city
dock. The Panama canal is COM
ing ON apace, the value of which
TO the Gateway To Portland" is
inestimable. The city has never
presented a more inviting APP
pearance, never have the streets
been i'm such good condition, new
er has there been less of discord
and complaining. The city gov
ernment has been in good hands
and the welfare of the city taken
care of in a most satisfactory
manner. Everything points To
n most successful year for the
city of st, Johns, The unfolding
of It's unmistakable glorious fu-
ture is near at hand, and faint
heart should take courage with
the advent of the new year.

New Books:
Collingwood, ed. - Business
Hen. When we had this book
out on request from the central
library it was so highly praised
by its readers that it has been
secured for our own shelves.
The author says he has "simply
tried to tell in simple language
which all can understand how to
breed, hatch, raise and handle
the hen that is capable of feed
ing the family or rolling a mort
gage away upon her eggs" The
author seems to be a poet as well
as a poultry authority, Judging
by the following Foreword to his
book:
There's lots of folks that love a
horse
About as well as they know
how;
We amt all built alike-of
course
There's them that do just love
COW
Above their wives. Some folks
will sleep
When hogs or horses have the
talk,
But start a word edgeways on
sheep
And see the way their tongues
will walk;
And some folks sit up half the
night
To paint the virtues of a
hog,
And | know folks uncommon
bright
Who rub their love thick on
a dog.
| have. as now do rejoice,
No quarrel with my fellow men,
But of all animals my choice
Forever is the Business Hen.
She may not average quite so
strong
AS sheep or hog or horse or
COW,
But then she rolls her eggs
along,
And pays her bills that suits
me now;
Pm not the one to fight or knock
When others claim big things
but then
My mind is made up like a rock ;
You can't fool mel love the
hen.
Jackman A b C of the motor

make the mechanism and opera
tion of the machine clear TO

ested. A book for the use of peo-
pie who want the Show How

who know they don't know much

Practical real estate methods.
For the young man or woman
wishing TO enter the realty field
this volume is probably the best
text book and the best guide to

eminently practical, dealing with
existing real estate problems.
Funston-Memories of 2 wars.
A racy account of the authors
experiences as a volunteer in the
Cuban struggle for independence.
and later in the war with Spain.
One reader characterized il as
"a rafting good story of adven-
ture." Another objects that its
pages are sufficiently lively with
out the slang which frequently
decorates them. A case in which
talent, push, audacity. personal
courage and luck have mingled
in an unusual degree.

Killed the Grub Thief.

Two lumbermen il the employ of
the w. c. Edwards Lumber company,
named Lafreniere and Leplatt, had a
somewhat exciting adventure while
camping in the woods north OF Mani
waki, which resulted in their bagging
a fine black bear
The two men were running lines in
the timber limits in the afternoon, and
on their return to camp found that
something had been into their grub
pack. Suspecting bear. they watched
part of the night, but with no luck.
Finally Laplatt tied the grub sack
with a rope attached to it to his foot
and went to sleep He awoke feeling
something tugging at his foot, and
shouted to Lafreniere, who got his
rife and fired shot at random.
Lighting lantern, they discovered
that the shot was lucky one. as q
small bear was lying dead a few
wards away.-Ottawa Citizen.

NEWEST COLOR IN VELVET
Peculiar Shade Of Green ls Called
"Absinthe" by Those Who Have
Designed It.

A peculiar greenish yellow shade,
not olive and not tan, Is now much
fancied for formal afternoon frocks
for bridge, reception or luncheon
wear. A costume of this sort has just
been finished for bride of the month.
Absinthe chiffon velvet is the mate
rial and the suit includes graceful
draped skirt and the most coquettish
of coats, short enough at the front to
reveal the black satin draped girdle
but falling at the back in long tails
to the knee. These tails slope grad
ually from the double breasted front
and give the coat graceful cutaway
effect, viewed from the side. Enor-
nous revers of the velvet are gath
cred at the top into turnover Robes
pierre collar of black velvet and
hang to the waistline over the coat
front. The revers and collar open in
a deep v.
The skirt has a wide front and
back panels hanging perfectly
straight, the sides being caught up
below the hips into soft transverse
drapery. To match this absinthe vel
vet costume there are patent leather
boots with buttoned tops of pale tan
cloth and very curved French heels,
and a hat of cream white MORE silk
banded with mink and having one
green and one gold quill.
