At the end of an old year it is
always fitting that we retrospect
and review the happenings of the
year that has gone to ascertain If
our community has progressed or
retrograded, or merely held its own.
We find that St. Johns has forged
ahead at a rapid rate during 1911.
More street improvement and of a
better quality was accomplished the
past year than in any two years of
its previous history. About twenty
miles OF streets were improved aud
FIVE miles OF sewers laid We find
that SS new residences were con-
structed which, in proportion to
population, is more than were built
in the busy city OF Portland The
postoflice receipts showed a steady
gain every month in the year over
corresponding months IN 1910. All
the industries ran steadily through
out year, while in some instances
the number of employees have been
increased There was no boom at
any time, but a constant steady,
healthy progress. Certainly the
people of St. Johns have reason to
feel we'll satisfied with the progress
made by this the seventh city in
Oregon in point OF population, and
second in manufacturing.

Who Got The Goose

One feature of the case, however,
was not touched upon. How did
the noble chief secure, procure or
