Postoffice Moves to New McChesney Block
The St Johns postoffice relocates to commodious quarters in the McChesney block on North Jersey street. Postmaster Valentine moved his staff last Sunday to meet demand for office space. The old outfit remains in use for now while a new network of mailboxes is installed behind the room to allow ample space for customers. The upgraded office on the north Jersey street corner will be electric lit and steam heated, presenting a strictly up to date facility.

Telegraph Office Planned for St Johns Business District
If plans hold, St Johns merchants and residents will gain a telegraph office soon to ease business. Western Union manager Dumars, visiting early this week, saw need and promised help. Currently residents must travel to Portland for telegrams, a long ride for a town of 3,500. An office here would pay from the start. A gale and will land it.
