Chief stanton's Surprise.

All the scenes of enthusiasm that
had prevailed each day during the
week were outdone in the demonstra-
ton that followed, the crowd that
packed the doors and the street out
side took up the cheering, bells and
mill whistles were sounded about the
city, colored fire was burned in some
sections, and Fire Chief Stanton
sprung a surprise by ringing in an
alarm at GAS on fire box 40, which will
be the number of the new box to be
located at the new plant of the Their
mos Bottle company when it is built.
Fly the Flags Today.
Through a telephone suggestion re-
ceived from Mrs. Rogers of Franklin
street that the citizens put out their
flags today in celebration of the VIC
tory, today will be Boomers flag day
in Norwich, and the citizens are re-
quested to fall in with the idea and
fling Old Glory to the breeze.
The magnificent success of this
greatest get-together campaign that
Norwich has ever known insures the
coming of the company to this city and
wins the rich industrial prize for which
the citizens have been striving.

Generally Fail

There is a great deal of talk now
about CO, operative stores and all
that, but the history of co.opera-
tive stores and such like is largely
one of failure. OF course there
have been some exceptions, but
not many. Many a man who has
thought there were excessive profits
in certain lines of business, has
found to his sorrow when he put
his money into a venture that prof
its are not nearly so large as he
imagined. 1t is very easy to think
that it is the other fellow all the
time who is making the big profits.
II is but human nature to think we
ought to be able to sell our wares
and products at liberal price, but
that the fellow from whom we buy
should be content with a narrow
margin. .-Ex.

For State Senator

Mr.. Il. l.. Coovert is candidate
for the republican nomination for
state senator of Multnomah county.
The priiaaries will be held on April
10Th, and being personally acquaint-
ed with Il. Il. Coovert we wish to
endorse his candidacy for this nom
ination. Mr.. Coovert has been &C.
lively engaged in the practice OF
law for the past ~ years in Port
land, and his standing as a lawyer,
as a business man and as a man Of
affairs is surpassed by no one. His
honesty and integrity aud fairness
is unquestioned.
The state having adopted the in
itiative and referendum system Of
legislation, and II having become
necessary to adopt new laws and
to re model the code of procedure
and judiciary system OF this state,
so that cur courts may progress
equally with the legislature, Il will
be incumbent upon the next legis.
ture to adopt laws to carry the new
laws into effect. We know OF no
man better qualified to act on be.
half Of the people in these most inn
portant matters than l.. l.. Coo
vert.
Mr.. Coovert stands for good
roads, for the full development OF the
states resources, for relief from the
congested court dockets in both the
circuit court and the supreme court.
Mr.. Coovcrt favors the interstate
bridge across the Columbia from
Vancouver. The voters should re.
member that should such a bridge
be built il would be of inestimable
value to the city Of St, Johns and
II would add greatly to the devel-
opment of the peninsula, and to
the resources of our city.
We car heartily endorse Mr., Coo
vert as a man OF high integrity and
honor with a high sense of both pri'
vate and public duty, and also as a
lawyer whose most excellent repu'
tation aud long experience best
qualities him for the position he
seeks. We suggest that you in
clude T.. T.. coovert amongst your
choice of FIVE candidates for state
senators,

Lewis For Legislature

The primary election will be
held on April I9th, This is most
important day, not only to the
state OF Oregon and to Multnomah
county, but also to St, Johns. BY
reason of the decision OF the SUI
preme court in the annexation case
St. Johns has taken a new lease OF
life. Every citizen OF this city
should endeavor to promote the in'
terests and welfare of St. Johns.
1t would seem that St. Johns
ought to have and must have a rep
resentative who will not only work
night and day in the interests OF
this community, but who can be
depended upon to fight for what
this city justly deserves.
ID. {. Lewis of this city is a can
didate for the legislature. His in
terest lies with St. Johns. His
home is in this city. He is an ex-
perienced attorney aud a student OF
political science, and well qualified
to act as representative of this dis
trict. In Mr.. Lewis the voters
could feel that they had for their
representative a man upon whom
they could rely with absolute as
surance that the interests OF the
city of St. Johns would be protect
ed, and with the assurance thai
they had a man who would force
the legislature and the state al
large to acknowledge St. Johns
claims for recognition as one of the
the first cities of the state.
Let the voters not forget tha
now is the time to forward their in
terests by the selection of a citizer
of this city to represent them in thu
legislature. Perry {. Stroud.
