9 ST. JOHNS, OREGON, FRIDAY, SKPTKMUKK 19, 1913. NO. 45 DOC GETS HIS At Hands of the Bachelor Club Monday Night "Doc" Scott got his all right Monday night at the hands of his former mates- the Bachelor Club. The members of this well known organization have 1'ac ulty of celebrating any defection from their society in a highly original and distinctively unique manner.

The Doc had exce lent reasons to expect that ho would in nowise be overlooked ufter he had suddenly and without due warning jumped the ranks of the Bachelors to join the larger and broader ranks of the Benedicts, And he was not. Any one who witnessed the dem onstration on the streets Monday evening can well attest to this fact. In times past the "Doc" has not manifested any particular backwardness or apparent hesitation in participating in the incidents attendant upon the de sertion of oilier members, and to neglect to attend to his case was not to be even thought of. In order that the defection of Dr. Scott be properly inaugurated in a befitting manner, a seven niece band from Portland was kidnaped, invoighled or coerced hither to lead the procession, and before they were relieved of further duty well earned their stipend.

Somehow and in some manner not divulged to the laymen mind, the Dr. was captured by the Bachelors and dressed for the part that he was to play in the events to follow. And it wus some dress- if such it might be termed. It absolutely beggared accurate description, and laid to be seen to properly realize and appreciate its "horrors." The scribe unwittingly managed to get one horrified glance at it, and what he saw was this: A skirt built mainly of mosquito netting, and underneath a garment that modesty forbids description, but sufUce to say that wo never before knew of such garment being part of a young man's wardrobe. A lady's jacket and a female hat of most becoming and alluring pattern placed coqucttiahly upon the Dr.

's head completed the outfit. It was heralded in stentorian tones by a Bachelor in tho procession armed with a megaphone that it was an X-ray dress, and if sucli was the case, we can well understand why Mayor Al-bee of Portland ordered the veil drawn over the X-rays gowns of that city. To make suro that none should fail to observe that the Dr. was attired in tho latest and most modern of feminine one of tho "executioners" most thoughtfully and considerately and with unerring skill continued to play tho rays of a powerful electric flashlight upon the symmetrical nether limbs, which were snugly encased in a pair of stockings of crimson hue and feminine gender. With Drum Major C.

S. Currin and Heralder Cormany und the megaphone in tho lead, tho "hungry seven" band following, and the Dr. with his retinue of retainers bringing up the rear, the strange procession marched up and down and over and across the main streets of the city, while tho sidewalks were lined with spellbound spectators. The chief of police was attracted to the scene, rubbed his eyes in utter amazement, and then turned aside to hide his blushes. After he had composed his feelings to such a degree that he was able to train one eye on the a la mode costume, the idea finally began to impress itself upon his mind that he had at last found the thing "that he long had sought, and mourned because he found it an X-ray dress, and the simon pure article at that.

Thunder struck, startled and abashed as he was, he nevertheless remembered that it was his duty as chief of police to place the wearer under arrest. 'Buthefelt that it was a duty that required aid in the capturing, so he sought Night Policeman Jones, who bashfully agreed to cooperate in the arrest, but not without trepidation and a fnst beating heart. Summoning all their bravery to the effort, the duo asserted their authority and placed the Dr. under arrest, against the protests and lamentations of his followers. As he was being placed in durance vile in the local bastile, the entire crowd of club members Uptodate Establishment The St.

Johns Undertaking with Thos. Grice manger, will bo opened up for business next week in the McDonald block on North Jersey street. It is one of the best arranged and finest equipped undertaking establishments to be found in uny small city. Just inside the entrance is twin offices rooms, one in which to attend to the wants of gentlemen, and the other for the ladies, both being nicely furnished. The chapel is next with a seating capacity Tor 100 people, a rostrum and a pri vate enclosure for mourners to screen them from the gaze of the curious during the services.

Next comes tho display room where funeral garments of all kinds are kept and displayed. in tuts line Air. unco has some of tho finest garments as well as some of the less expensive, and he has adopted an admirable manner of displaying them. Back of this room is an apartment for talcing care ol the dead, with cement floor and all sanitary conditions fully observed. In a long and rather narrow compart ment along the side of the room is contained quite a number of caskets of the latest pattern and most beautiful designs.

At the extreme rear of the building is situated the ware -house and carpenter shop. In an outside building is contained three vehicles of beauty and substantiality. One is a magnificent hearse, an other the casket wagon, which is also a thing of beauty, and the last the ambulance car. ulso of handsome design and finish, all of which are rubber tired and fully equipped for the different purposes. Altogether tho undertaking parlors arc most complete and up to date in every respect.

Air. Urice extends a cordial invitation to the people of St. Johns to inspect his establish ment between the hours of 2:30 and 5. and 7:110 and 9 o'clock p. m.

Wednesday of next week, which opportunity our people should take advantage of. Farewell Services Hev. J. J. Patton, who has been transferred to rairoanus.

Alaska, delivered his farewell address Sunday evening to his congregation. Ho took for his subject tho "Centurian's Ser vice." Tho work or tho uontu-rian, he said, hud been helpful, faithful, and his labors effective for the people, yet in his own estimation he was not worthy, but in the estimation of the peo- he hud been wholly worthy and was an esteemed and efficient servant. Rev. Patton re viewed some of the work of tho past and said his relations with tho people of St, Johns and the congregation had always been pleasant. At the close of the services members of tho congre- agtion said farewell and expressed their regret at his de- ntrture.

Mr. and Mrs. 1'ntton oft Monday morning forSeattle, where they expected to take a steamer for Alaska. and spectators accompanied the arrested one, even down to the portals of tho darkest dungeon, where the Dr. was incarcerated, After considerable dickering, an amount oi nan was agreea upon, which was assembled from the pockets of his friends, and the Dr.

was allowed to mako his way to the club rooms, where he with much difficulty extricated limself from the "glad rags" and assumed more seasonable and less conspicuous garments. Many of the spectators believed the arrest was genuine and much sympathy was expressed for the plight of the hapless ur. Thru it a the Dr. was game and tooK the jollification with good humor and as if he were enjoying it as much as his "tormentors," but lie says he doesn't intend to make a habit of wearing X-ray gowns although he realizes they are most becoming and attract lots of attention.

A Paying Industry That the plain common potato can be turned into a money pay ing industry by manufacturing the surplus crop into alcohol, starch, glucose and decsiccated putoto, is the announcement mude by C. C. Moore, assistant chemist in the United States Bureau of Chemistry, who was a viistor at the Portland Commer cial Club last week.

Mr. Moore is on a tour investigating the potato production of Oregon with a view of securing information as to what is being done with the surplus tuber. Approximately 600.000 tons of glucose is con sumed in the United Stales a year und 10,000 tons or more is the demand ol the i'ucillo uast states. Practically there is no storch or glucose factory on tho Coast, Mr. Moore explained, aim the department is desirous of encouraging tho industry.

That th sisa manufacturing enterprise of considerable dividend paying is plainly shown by Mr. Moore's figures, that between $500. 000 to $750,000 is sent annually into the corn belt for this product. Our townsman, I). C.

Lewis has suggested and advocated that tho St. Johns Commercial cluu endeavor to have such a factory locate in St. Johns and the club is taking steps to get parties interested in such a project. It is said that many tons of potatoes are fed yearly to stock and thrown awav in the Tualatin Valley and around this immedi ate neighborhood that wouiu be come ot value were a starch and glucose factory at hand to take care of the excess.
