Stevens, who resigned recently as president of tha Hill llnea In Oregon. took an early train for New York yesterday morn ing. Several functions bad been ar ranged In his honor by his friends for thla week, the most Important being that at the Arlington Club Tuesday night, where Mr. Stevena and C. R. Gray. Mr. Stevena successor, were to be the guests of B. S. Josselyn. presi dent of the Portland Railway. Light Power Comparr. Mr. Stevena did not have time to bid his former associates of Mr. Stevens said yester day that they would not be surprised to hear within few days of his ac ceptance of a high position with one of the large transportation systems of the United States. - Mr. Stevens himself Has said that he Intended to rest and recover his health completely before resuming active work. For more than a year he has suffered from neuralgia of the face, accompanied by Intense pain and much loss of sleep. Special ists have told him he needs rest. Ha expects to consult other eminent spe cialists In New York In the hope of ob taining Immediate relief. Xeclsion Reached Quickly. Mr. Stevena arrived quickly at a de cision to take the first trsin East, and parking bis personal effects hastily, took a taxicab from the Portland Ho tel, arriving at the atatlon Just In time for the trsln. "I have traveled considerably." he said before leaving, "and have had occasion more than once to pull up and move on. but I have left no place Panama. St. Paul. New Haven or any other of a host of places with more regret than I feel In leaving Port land. I never have been treated with such consideration and manifest appre ciation of my work. "I am going to New Tork and shall atop off at St. Paul. In all probability, on my way. Mr..Gray. who succeeds me. Is a fine man and sure that the people of Portland will find that he takes an interest In their affairs and In the development of the country. He has had a great deal of experience In the railway business and will find that he has a fine citizenship to pick out his friends from. Really I am sorry to leave Portland. I am firmly con vinced that Portland will have 500.000 people in 1720. and I believe I waa the first man to predict It. To a large ex tent transportation companies out here must depend upon earnings from the csrrlage of timber and other forest products until the raw farming lands opened by new lines are settled and Im proved. As the market by rail, for lumber, as In the past year Is very uncertain. It can be understood that a certain amount of conservation in the expenditures of capita) In such enter prises la to be looked for. Work W ill Not Stop. "All this doea not argue that rail road building Is to atop. The good sense of the people will assert Itself; In fact, a distinct change of feeling on the part of the public la already ap parent and most thinking men are op timistic enough to believe that true co-operation of Interests as between public and transportation companies will soon become the rule Instead of the exception. "I am glad that I have been able to maae two oiaaea or grass grow wnere one was grown before. At least. I have given the opportunity. And to the extent to which I feel grateful to the citizens of Portland and. In fact, of the atate for the more than generous expressions of appreciation of my efforts, which they have show ered upon me. I can never express." Mr. Stevens said that Mrs. Stevena has expressed a desire to visit the Panama' Canal In the coming year and It is his Intention to go with her and take their son along. Thla trip waa talked over In lieu of his plan to go to Europe, a desire that he has had far several years, but Inasmuch as Mrs. Stevens has wished to visit the canal, he feels that he would rather make a trip with the family than take foe alone. I have hadseveral opportunities In connection with railway work," said he. "that I have under consideration. I shall not accept anything right away. There are plenty of positions open in the country and I now have the choice of several, if I should desire to go to work Immediately. But J am going to t take a rest, aa I have said all along. The Job will be decided upon later." It la the belief of railway men that Mr. Stevena will be ready to announce aa soon as he reaches New York hla connection with some large railway enterprise. , JOHV F. STEVE S.

This announcement is made by g. L, Swartxlander, agent. As the bill wis drawn by the department, and ap parently haa no opposition except by a few of the Indians. Major Swartxlander Is of the opinion that the bill will soon become a law. The objection of the Indiana Is due to the fact that much of the unallotted tribal land to be disposed of under tha provisions of the bill comprise aa fine a grazing section aa Is to be found In the West. For years their small bands of cay use ponies have roamed at will over the hills, and the fact that enough grass was annually going to waste to provide sustenance for valuable herds of sheep, cattle and horses has not disturbed them. Land Best for Grazing. Major Swartxlander eaya a small per centage of the land la valuable for ag ricultural purposes. He aaya It con sists principally of the west .elope of . . rt i n.ni,ini and lies almost inB DIUB ,HVMiii. .. wholly In the southeastern part of the reservation, from 29 to JO mllea south east of Pendleton. The land Is chiefly valuable for grazing. Some of It Is covered with pine timber, but this Is all to be reserved as a tribal forest re serve and Is to be disposed of to the allotted Indians on the reservation for their domestic use. McKay Creek, one of the principal tributaries of the Uma tilla River and a stream abounding In water power and reclamation possibili ties, flows through this Jart of the reservation. The power and reservoir sites, however, are all to be reserved to the Government, the department even reserving the right to cancel allotments or sales of land which may be wanted hereafter for reservoir or power site purposes.- It Is provided that Indians to whom allotments have not already been made shall be given their choice of the un allotted lands. Though there are not very many of these Indians they, will i kl- - V - n.Bj.Mfallv .11 nt t Vi A jil uu.uij " . - . . . - agricultural land, leaving nothing hut tne grazing; iana u oe wuie r whites. Highest Bidder to Win. This Is to be sold to the highest bid der, provided that no one secures more than 120 acres. This provision will pre vent the land falling Into the hands of the big stockmen who are being hard pressed since the Inauguration of the forest reserve system to secure ade quate range for their constantly dimin ishing flocks. The purchasers, for the most part, will therefore probably be the email ranchers living on and adja cent to the reservation. The money to be derived from the sale of the lands, after the expenses are deducted, will be added to the tribal fund, now on deposit In Washington, and already amounting to nearly 1100. 000. This draws Interest and both In terest and principal are expended by the Secretary of the Interior for the education and civilization of the Indi ans on this reservation at such times and in such manner as he deems best for their welfare. It is also provided in the bill that no part of sections 1 or In any township which may be Included In the lands to be disposed of shall be sub ject to sale or allotment, but that the sections are to be granted to the State of Oregon for educational purposes. One of the peculiar provisions of the bill Is that all of the lands sold or re served, as well as that allotted to In dians shall be subject, for 25 years, to all the laws of the United Stater pro hibiting the Introduction of intoxi cants Into the Indian country. JAPANESE AVIATOR FALLS Biplane) Tips, Blrdman Cnhurt In 80-Foot Drop. SEATTLE. Wash, April 19. Spe claL) Q. T. Takasow, a Japanese avi ator, who lias been trying out hla Seattle-built machine at Thomas sta tion, haa learned that the air has perils very much like those of the angry sea. ' An Invisible billow up-ended his machine yesterday and sent him sprawling to the ground 80 feet below. Takasow escaped practically uMiurt The aeroplane was wrecked. The first thought of the Japanese aviator was regret that he could not fly today, as he had been told a great many people would be out to watch his experiment. Then Ue declared he wouli start at once the construction of a new aeroplane. A ecore or more of persons witnessed the accident. At J:30 o'clock In the afternoon Takasow seated himself la his machine, which la a biplane re sembling the Wright models. The aeroplane haJl been off the ground three minutes and had climbed to an altitude of 80 feet .when the watchers saw that Takasow waa having troume. The airshln had encountered a gale of the atmosphere as real as the giant waves of midocean. It was apparent that the blrdman was trying to descend. Suddenly the biplane up-ended and shot sideways to the earth with startling velocity. Takasow jumped clear of the wreckage and picked him self up none the worse except for bruises. LIRE COUNTRY FAST BECOMING FAMOUS BREEDING PLACE. That Colonel Roosevelt's- Action When Prebldent Was Good At tested by Deputy Game Warden. KLAMATH FALLS. Or., April 19. (Special.) That Klamath County Is be coming famous as a breeding place and that the establishing of the Lower Klamath Lake bird reserve by Colonel Rgosevelt when President of the United States was a good move for the future bird Industry of. the entire county Is attested by Deputy Game Warden Lew Is who la In charge of this reserve, which lies partly In Northern California and partly In Southern Oregon. Mr. Lewis has Just returned from a trip of several days spent In the Lower Lake region where he- was looking af ther the birds of that reserve for the Federal Government. He states that from all appearances more of the feath ered tribe of all kinds will nest on what are known as Bird Islands this year than haa been the case for years. Among these will be millions of geese and ducks of every kind' while cranes, gulls, cormorants, pelicans and other kinds of non-game birds are nesting there In great numbers. Among; those birds Mr. Lewis says he found one Island taken over almost entirely by a very rare avis for this region. This la the Caspian" tern, one of the gull family and while this bird has been here In very small numbers for years, he says there ere many more this year than usual. Mr. Lewis esti mated that at least 1000 of these Nvere nesting on one Island. 1 What Is known as Bird Islands, on the Lower Klamath Lake, are noted as the greatest breeding places for all kinds of birds In the Pacific North west. In a month from now one can make a visit to these Islands and see millions of the young pelfcans . and other kinds of birds gathered In great droves on the Islands surrounded with water, these not being able to fly. Thousands of people visit the Islands every year to see them In their native haunts. Last year several guano claims were staked on these I islands, but as the claims are In a national bird reserve and the law will not allow the work ing of these claims where it will dis turb the birds those who filed the claims were unable to do anything with them. It is stated that these Is lands are very rich with guano depos its and If the Government would allow their being worked they would produce a large amount of fertilizer, as they are almost Inexhaustible. Recall Election Will Take Place Tuesday and Prediction Made That Few Will Visit Polls. " League Picks Its Men. TACOMA, Wash., April 80. (Spe cial.) Indications are that old Gen eral Apathy will be In evidence at the recall election Tuesday, "when the voters are to decide the fates of the four present Municipal Commissioners, At the Mayoralty recall election two weeks ago, when A. V. Fawcett was ousted and W. W. Seymour placed in the Mayor's chair, there was a total of 21,711 votes cast out of a registration of 26,498. It is being freely predicted that next Tuesday's vote will range between 10.000 and 1S.000. most est! mates being around 12,000, which means that about half the people are not expected to go to the polls. There are 16 candidates in the field against the four present Commission ers. The campaign has consisted chiefly In these 20 men attending some improvement club meetings, a few gatherings of .women voters, some church meetings and the like, each man outlining his views on various fllvlc problems and answering questions, particularly as to the social evil, and all freely promising to "enforce the law." Mails Freely Used. At none of the meetings has there been any such display of interest as marked the Mayoralty recall fight. The malls have been freely used by some of the candidates and a large amount of literature distributed. Placards and posters on telegraph poles have also been much used. The Public Welfare League had a meeting Friday night. It heard a re port of a committee which had inves ti?a.ted tha candidates and. on recom mendatlon of the committee, indorsed F. H. Pettlt for Commissioner or ruo lie Safety, W. E. Clayton for Commis sioner of Public Works. B. J. Weeks for Commissioner of Light and Water and Frank M.. Lamborn for commis sloner of Finance. Having gone on record as In favor of the recall cam oalsrn. the league had perforce to pick i its men irom tnose opposing wt p ent Commissioners. For each of the four offices a can didate must receive a majority vote Tuesday to be elected: otherwise there wiy be a second election May 16 to pick between the two high men. Men who have been through many city mmnalsrna and have made some study of present conditions predict that Owen Woods, tho present Commissioner of Puhlis Works, will go back in office Tuesday. L. W. Roys, the present Commissioner of Public barety, tney predict will either go back In office Tuesday or nave enougn votes w Rum pel a second election between himself and Pettlt. who is the strongest con tender for that office.

The property lies just south of the Powell Valley road, near -the O.'W'. P. electric car, and between the six and seven-mile circles (taking; the draw of the Morrison street bridge as a center). It is not only in the pathway of Portland's most rapid growth, but is also one of the city's most sightly sub urban districts. ' O GRADED STREETS: S Btreet. Buckley avenue, a splendid 60-foot thoroughfare, ex tends a full half mile through the property from north to south. It is crossed at right angles by Floyd and Orlena avenues (each of them 60 feet in width), and on the north and south, respectively, la tapped by the Powell Valley road and Holgate street. The plat has thus divided the property into six blocks, each one being ap proximately a sixth of a mile deep by a quarter mile wide, and con taining in all 162 acre lots. . 3wXTFR QYQTPM Anion's Acres have their own wa HllLiIV Oluicau. ter system, just like a city water system. The water is delivered under pressure, and is piped directly to the front of every acre lot. Owners of the acre lots also own the water, and may use it for the house, the lawn and the gar den as freely as they like. The only cost to them is that of main tenancea mere trifle, much lower to the individual than the cost of city water. You can irrigate with hose or spray just like you do down town. Water is CEOP INSURANCE of the very best kind, and no acre lot should be without it. Buy where you have the ma terial advantage of water under PRESSURE, and INSIST on having it. . 4 POOH IfiN e on Amon'3 Acres is intermixed 2JJU OU1L. with small gravel just enough to make tJij land easy to work and "warm." Soil that is slightly gravelly retains the warmth of the sun through the chilly Spring and Summer nights, and has a tendency to bring all fruit and gar den products to early maturity. A little gravel also renders the drainage excellent, the land never becoming sour or swampy, and never reniaining long muddy even in the "rainy" season. It is particularly good for berries, and is peculiarly adapted to success ful poultry growing. " ' C FINE INVESTMENT: ff g SSS. ments today than Amon's Acres. The property, is one of those -rare combinations of a home and investment in one. It was care fully selected a year ago when there were still considerable bodies of land intact in the neighborhood of Portland's eastern boundary, and it was chosen because the location and price at which it could be secured made it possible to resell it under the market. Being out side the city bounds, the taxes will be low until the city takes it in, and when that happens the value of Amon's Acres will be worth double or treble what it is today for city lots. i n w pr irFs Tnis land sells for $75 $900 an acre Li VJ If I iot) md these prices include the water system and the graded streets all in and paid for. No well 'digging, pump buying, water carrying, road making, street as sessments, or anything of the kind. And you get all thesvith the .land at a very little more than we paid for it a year ago in a solid block of 160 acres.' Our reason for selling it so low? Amon's Acres is our first addition in Portland. It is our introduction to Portland investors and home-builders and the best way to make their ac quaintance is to give them a bargain they can see with their eyes shut and with them OPEN. FAIY TFRlVf We d more than make low prices. EiiU 1 1 EilUUO. We made the terms such that almost anyone who really wants a home or an investment, or the two in one, can acquire one or more of Amon's Acres, and do it. with out a very great effort. The small payment we require down will not embarrass any bona fide buyer. At least we shall not "embar rass hirn. We feel a personal interest in our buyers, and we are concerned in their success from the moment they put a dollar in our land. ' ' , WF ARF flWNFR 11 an advantage to TT iAlVC J if llilu deal directly with an owner if you can. You not only save the commission he would have to add to his price, if you purchased through an agent, but you have the satisfaction of receiving all representations from first hands. We are the owners. Our salesmen are ourselves. There is no mid-. die man for you to pay. r'niNf' FAT The" 13 a velT active demand for UUliiU Inui. acreage near Portland just now, and soon there will be very little close-in acreage at the present prices. Amon's Acres, being among the closest in, and exceptional values at their prices, are being snapped up by shr.ewd investors. They will not resell so low, or even nearly so low. We have some lots left that are just as good as any we have sold, and at the same prices. In a few locations we can sell two or more acre lots to gether. One thing is certain: if you delay, you will pay more, or buy further out, where the city will be longer reaching you. 1 n-GOOD NEIGHBORS: LSVuUVvrS,'." v right kind of neighbors that is always an important thing, especially if you have a family. It is important even if you haven't a family even if you don't live there yourself, provided you own property there. Good people mean good improvements, and good improvements mean good property values. THESE ARE A FEW OF THE REASONS why Portland investors (and home-builders) are buying Amon's Acres.
