There is a rumor in the air
that Standifer and associates
are seriously considering the
idea of locating their immense
steel ship building plant on the
land adjoining the elevator
system in North St. Johns.
As is known, the Dock Com
mission has sixty acres of un-
excelled land there that will
not be needed for elevator or
coal bunker purposes. and il
is said. is willing TO have this
land utilized for Industrial pur-
poses at rental cost of only
sufficient TO cover the interest
on the investment. and being
public land. there will be no
taxes TO pay. thus making il of
unusual attractiveness TO pro.
spective manufacturers. Taken
in conjunction with the fact
that terminal charges will be
elimated and connection effect
ed with all transcontinal rail-
road lines as well as by water.
there is reason for the hope
that Standifer may select St.
Johns as the site. When the
announcement was first made
that Staandifer and associates
had secured contracts from the
government for steel ships ag-
grePating many millions of dol
lars and that they would erect
n million dollar plant to take
care of the same. il seemed TO
he "A foregOne conclusion that
Vancouver would be the location
decided upon, but since the
members of this company had
their attention directed toward
the many appealing features of
the ST. Johns site, there is a
strong probability, il is said. |
that the big plant will be locat-
ed here. May il be so.

The Christmas just passed in
st. Johns was the most enjoy
able in a general way that has
occurred for a number Of years.
One reason for this was that
there was found to be practi-
cally no real destitution, and
there were few if any hungry
mouths to fill through charity.
Work in plenty and good wages
placed all in a happy and con-
tented condition. The stores,
so far as learned, did an unpre-
cedented business.

 Late dsaptches from Athens say that the dethronement of King Con- stantine will be the signal for Greece to go to war against the allies.
 Coupled with this positive declara- ton is the rumor that General von Falkenhayn is now in Greece. 1t is not known whether he is actually on Grecian soil to the south of the allied lires or whether he is on the Greek frontier to take command of the forces of the Teutonic allies.
