TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE WHO COME TO THE FAIR Much Better Service Is Promised Between This City and Tacoma Next Year. An sffort Is being made by the North em Pacific railroad management to shorten tha time of the North Coaat Limited about six hour and make a through service between Portland and Chicago of three days. It Is not at all likely, however, that this will bo ac- cmpllaheu until a few weeks before (he dote for opening the Lwle mil Clark 'k-poniKon. Rapid transit Is particularly desirable for the Lewis and Clark talr for tha reason. that the trip will be a long one at best for every one who comes from the east. At a meeting of division superintendents of the North am Pacific railway this week in St. Paul conditions were discussed and plans were outlined for the proposed shortening of the schedule time. Sixty - eight hours 'are now required to make tha trip' from i Portland to St. Paul on the fastest train. There are 60 or 6b stops between Port land and St. Paul, 10 being between Portland and Tacoma. The schedule .for the limited will cut out many of these. An additional train will be put on between Tacoma End Portland. TJie Southern Pacific company will handle the fair business on the plan fol lowed in the past by running as many sections aa necessary. An enormous amount of new . equipment Is being re ceived by the Southern Pacific, the work of relaying rails and improving the main line In Oregon Is being pushed. No leas than (0 locomotives will be put on this road next year. ELECTRIC RAILROADS INTO THE SUBURBS Oregon Trading Company Will Build at Once to HHIsboro and Forest Grove.

OPP. PERKINS HOTEL We Sell the Famous Walk-Over Shoe for Men, 3.50.4.00 At their last meeting the truateea of the Anti-Saloon league passed these resolutions: "That tha question of the amendment of the local option law by the legisla ture Involves the Dreader one of the power of the leglalature to amend at will a law enacted by the people under the Initiative and referendum clause of ths constitution. "That the question of ths power of the leglalature under this clause of the constitution over a law enacted by the people has never been directly before the courts of this state. "That whatever amendments to the local option law now seems desirable, or hereafter on further testing of this law may appear so, ahould be enaotad by the people. "The Anti-Saloon league, therefore, for the present will hold In abeyance the question of amending the law on lta own Initiative, and will work for the follow ing ends: "To defeat before the legislature all proposed amendments. "In oase of failure here to contest bo- fore the courts such amendments as may be made by the legislature." The league made the following state ment of policy: "Whereas, The Antt-Saloon league throughout Its history has been a federa tion of moral forces upon a strictly non partisan basis, and "Whereas, Our state constitution pro vides that the league pledges itself to avoid affiliation with any political party as such, therefore. "Resolved, That It be the sense of this board of trustees. "That the success of the local option movement depends upon Its being main t slued upon a distinctly non-partisan platform, under non-partisan leadership and separate from all party affiliations. "That while the league cannot enter Into an alliance with any political party aa such, yet It will welcome to Its coun cils and to lta field of action men from all parties who are willing to co-operate In harmony with Its principles. That a standing committee of five be constituted to confer with similar com mittees from any political or temperance organisation, with power to act. 'That the league renew Its former sctlon against petitions being filed for local option elections where there Is not a strong public sentiment to Justify It; and we shall favor elections by precincts, especially In Portland and whenever local public sentiment does not demand a broader application of the law." Portland's tax levy for 1906 will I amount to About 11.6 mills, providing ths funds with whleh to build the proposed high school building are raised from bonding the district Instead of by tax ation. Otherwise the 1100,000 will have to be raised by adding two mills to the I tax levy, bringing It to about 41. 4 mills. The levies for the various depart ments will be about as follows: State, 6.8 mills; stats school. 5 mills; county. 4.4 mills; road, -.1 mills; special (li brary), X mills; Port of Portland, 2.7 mills; school district, 8.4 mills. At the annual meeting of the taxpay ers of ths Portland school district which will bo held Monday night the proposi tion to build s new 1100,000 high school on the east side and to give the teachers a 10 .per cent Increase In their salaries, will be presented by the school directors. They also recommend that a new build ing site be purchased northeast of the Holladay school on the oast aide and a new school building constructed to re lieve the crowded condition of the schools in this part of the city. Besides this It Is recommended that additions be made to several other schools. The Improvement of sanitary conditions la also urged, aa Is the addition of a do mestic science department for girls. In order to meet the current expenses and make the necessary Improvements in school facilities, exclusive of the. pro posed high school. It Is recommended that a levy of 4.4 mills tax bo mode. Of this levy 4.4 mills will bo for tha current expenses and 2 mills for build ings. It Is estimated that the proposed high school building will cost 1100,000. It Is stated that this sum can bo raised either by an additional t mill levy or by the Issuance of bonds. To meet the proposed increase In teaohero' salaries It is estimated that a levy of 4 mills additional Is necessary. If tt Is decided by the taxpayers to construct the high school, which Is badly needed, and to increase the salaries 10 per cent the total school tax for 10B will be 8.3 mills. St. Johns school district has voted 7.4 mill tax for general school purposes for 1905. Including the ooot of erecting two temporary class rooms. The St. Johns volunteer fire department, with 40 members, has completed Its orgsnlss tlon and the council will provide funds with which to purchase the necessary apparatus. . It. H. Maxwell, deputy assessor, has returned from a visit In Los Angolas, where he looked into matters pertaining to land values and assessments. Speak ing of his observations, he said: "The total valuation or ixs Angeies is $109,000,000. against Portland's IftO, 897.000, and the tax levy for city pur- uoses there was 14 mills. Mere it w nine and one-half mills last year. The valuation In Los Angeles is upon a 10 per cent basis. Here it is upon a oasis of slightly leas, perhaps as low as IS 1-1 per cent.
