tlio Swift Packing Compnny, who
nro now In partial operation, having
n largo nrea covered with concrete
for stock ynrds and numerous large
brick factory buildings besides a
bunk, stock exchnligo mid many bus
iness buildings, their holdings alone
amounting to over -0 acres.
Thero uro several good locations
for factories around 1'orllaud, but
when tho l'onlnsula Is Investigated
cnrefully by lookers for sites tho
vital necessities of transpottatlon,
flro and police protection, schools
and water nro nil found there. There
also street cur fares will be largely
cut out, also thu u.nnor pun as the
men can go home to lunch and
snvo this money to buy their homes
on monthly payments.
Thu Davis Safe & Lock Co. claims
that tho 1'uclflc Coast has been held
up by transcontinental railways to
such nn extent that the freight Is
often over half what the safe costs
at tho factory, besides they como fro
(luontly In bud condition, requiring
ropulrs and often look as though
they wero second hand goods. The
freight charges to tho coust won)
established by tho traffic association
In Chicago whoro thoy devoted more
time to mystifying tho tariff than
thoy did to naming 11 just rato and
the Davis Safo & Lock Co., us woll
as tho puunc, uro to bo congrutu
latod for deciding to cut out this
ononnous toll of tho railroads. It
Is tliotr Intention to at once orcct
on their now holdings at Konton a
main factory building 100x300 foot In
dimensions, part of which will bo
two stories In height and will bo
built of concroto and modo flroproof j
also an Iron and brass foundry build
ing 60x200 foot In slzo, and n coke
and sand shed 70x20 foot. Tho plant
will bo computed and In operation
by March 1, llu, and will employ
about 100 men from tho sturt. Tho
plans aro being propnred by the
company's architect and announce
ments will bo made lutor when thoy
are finished. Its capacity will be
20 safos and vuult doors per day.
A number of prominent Portlnnd
capitalists aro Interested In tho com
pany and It will bo purely a local
concern, Tho company has ponding
very valuable patonts and will build
a fireproof safe superior to any on
tho market today, They wll also
make their own castings, both brass
and steel. Commercial bodies from
a number of Eastern localities havo
made some very flattering proposl
Hons to the company, each offering
special Inducements to secure the lo
cation of the factory at their town.
The towns of Norfolk, Vn., Mollne,
111., and Elyrla, O., wero especially
anxious to land tho proposition, but
after careful consideration the u
rectors determined that Portland was
.the coming city and they would con
tribute their share toward helping
boost.
No industry has come to Portland
for some lime that promises greater
net profits than does this one, on
account of the protective freight
tariff that cannot be eliminated and
the superiority of their safes. Ab

Things ore said to be not what

Dekum avenue, the principal street,
Is in very bad Jhape, owing to the
breaking of the water main several
times during last winter, parkings
are not kept up, the streets were
watered but indifferently during tho
summer, while except at election
Ume'ao effort to help them Is ever
given by the councilman of the

VOL. 5
WORK ON THE
RAILROADS
Will Give Steady Employ
ment For All
Closo to 10,000 men aro now em
ployed in a dozen or moro railroad
project whoso completion will bo
of great and direct benefit to Port
land. A majority of this vnst bulk
of labor Is handled through Portland,
which means that enormous payrolls
each month aro putting groat volumci
of money Into tho regular channols
of local trade. Its larger significance
Is that n protracted crn of prosperity
and general good times should pre
vail hero not only while this work
la going on but long ntter when tho
new construction work hits boon com
pleted and the new lines and exten
sions nro under operation.
In splto of thu fact that railroad
contractors nro trying their level best
to get moro men In tho field, great
difficulty Is experienced In socurlng
mou who will stick to their Jobs.
Thousands of men who have roturnot
from tho harvest fields of tho North
west refuse to Join railroad construc
tion camps, declaring the work Is 'too
hard, llullroad employment agents
could take care of every Idle man In
Portland If ho wero willing to work,
and stoutly employment would be af
forded all winter.
These component elements in the
railroad development of thu North
west will mean great business growtl
for Portland, tho natural Jobbing and
commercial center toward which they
nro striving. They will moan nn
enormous Increnso In population In
tho noxt fow yours, building up not
only Portland but the entire region
or sections of country which nro be
ing brought Into direct and speedy
communication with tho outside
world.
A Good Idea
The nronosltlon of tho street car
coming Into St. Johns tho way thoy
now go out Is being agitated by n
number of our cltlzons. Tlio clnim
Is made that tho city Is moro pre
possessing coming In tho short way
than by Cedar Park, as Is now mo
case, and that visitors would bo hot
ter pleased with mo outlook at first
Blanco. Anothor reason ndvanceu
la mat most people are tired out af
ter spondlng a few hours wandering
around Portland, and desire to get
home with tho greatost possible eel
orlty. Tho long trip In going to
Portland would not bo so annoying,
as all aro fresh at tho start. Tho
plan looks i.ke a very good one, and
thoro seems but little clinnco for oo
Jectlon on the part of tho residents
hero. Tho matter will llkoly bo
passed up to tho powora that bo In
tho noar future, asking that this bo
dono.
Reduction in Rates
Reductions .n grain rates of about
12. A ner cent from the Interior .0
tidewater will go into effect on the
rnllrniidH of the Northwest OU NOV.

to the wheat growers of the Iniana
Empire, The reduc.on was ordered
m the O. II. N. lines by the Oregon
Railroad Commission and on the
Wnshtneton railroads by the com
mission of tbat stute. On the pres
ent year's crop it is believed a av
lng of about la,ev0 will be realized
to growers by the lessened freight
rates.

Evidences of Awakened Activity Are

Whether on nccount of tho nd
vent of tho saloon In St. Johns or
In splto of tho ,iwn again becoming
"wet," thero Is no denying tho fact
that ' ihlngs are looking up." On
overy hand may bo found substantial
evidences of nwnkoncd and renowed
activity. Empty business houses and
dwellings nro filling up na If by
magic, and n spirit of optimism and
oxuboranco seems to pervade tho at
mosphcre. The man with the pick and
shovel, tho busy tennis, tho sound of
tho hammer and saw, the woll filled
streets all camblno In presenting n
picture of hustle and bustlo that Is
cheering to nil. Tho gas company
has ooo 11 quite n factor In enliven
ing affairs In St. Johns. With their
many workmen engaged In laying
pipe all over thu city, and the en
thUHlnsm which they hnvo Infused
Into their operations hero their com
ing has marked the beginning of
hotter times. Tho many lights thoy
hnvo already placed hero has given
the business uistrlct a metropolitan
nppoaranco and makes the city par
ticularly aiiurlug and entrancing nt

trio Co. has also not boon Idle, und
they nro constantly placing new

chnrtor has been cuBsed at, reviled,
amended, changed, trnmplod upon,
and yot It does not suit. Ino last
desired change Is to provide for
four of tho counclluien being hold
ovor each yoar, thus provontlng con
fusion nnd dlsruntlon until tho now
mombors wero Inured to their posi
tions. Wo eel love tills proposou
mondmont would curry with but fow
dlssontlng votos, as It does not look
Ilko good business to havo It possible
to turn all the officials out at ono
tlmo. It this should occur It would
tako about six months for the now
members to find out where tho lato
officials left off. Another amend
ment desired Is a provision for rnls
lng tho treasurer's salary and In
creasing tho longth of his term of
offico. This is a minor change, but
la Important also. An amendment
la doslred by somo citizens on tne
nrocess now in forco for Improving
our stroots. Instoad of tho property
owners paying for lmproement Inoi-
vldually. it Is proposed that the city
as a whole put up for street im
provement. This plan would bo tno
cause for much objection nnd uis-
sentlon were It to como beforo the
people for their adoption. Thoso whe
havo already paid for their own
streot improvement will not enro to
holn Day for other work along this
line. It would cause moro atrlfo and
111 feelings than roost any other
source were the plan to become In
vogue. Each councilman that advo
cated Improving a streot In any ui
rption would be susnlcloned of being
financially interested in Its improve-
ment in some way. Every property
owner would want his street Im
proved first, and tus bedlam would
bo let loose In fine style. Tho pres
ent system seems to work all right,
and if that 50 percent of tne as
sessed valuation was eliminated,
street work could go on without a
hitch, Property will never bo lesb
In value In St. Johns than its street
Improvements como to, thereforo It
would be Impossible to connscaio mo
property for street Improvement.
Make It a "sky limit" and no ono
will have cause to complain that
street work Is not going on with u

Unless It Is vacated tho city has no

This not having been done, It Is high
