An article in Tuesday's Jour
nal contains the following rel
ative to a St. Johns park: "Up
to this time we have been con
sidcrlmr the following locations
"At the nronoBcd new liiid
school site, St. Johns, between
Wall street. Central nvenue and
Smith avenue. 23 acres, oonsid-
nrod hv manv to be n very de
nlrnblo locality :or. in lieu of that.
n 32 acre tract known as the
McKenna property, assessed
valuation $38,030, on Lombard
and McKenna avenues."
The former mentioned is at
the extreme southeasterly bound
nry of St. Johns limits, and the
McKenna tract is not in St.
Johns, but on tho other side of
the cut beyond the power house.
Tho sent ment expressed, so la
as wo have heard, scorns to favor
n heat on ess remote. I lit1
people of St. Johns would much
prefer a park more centrally
located, but such tracts are dif
ficult to find, or in fact almost
imnoBsiblo to secure. Ihero
a om9 to be only one, the Caples
tract, which is situated adjacent
to tho ice plant on Lombard
Btrcet. Krom a St. Johns stniif'
point this would un''o tbtedly hi
the most desirable of the three
lint it is said to he too hiiihII for
tho purpose. Tho owner Hlatos
that, includimr the Hi reel
through it mid land that could
be sucurcd in connection, would
comprlao tract of approximate
ly ton acrtiH. Some peopio are
inclined to tho belief that ten
ncros is amply sufficient fot
purely park pumoMcii, and that
if high school of groaUir capac
ity is needed there Ik plenty ol
room on tho pronont site for en
largement. Others believe ten
acres entirely too small. So in
order to get thu sentiment ol
the peopio of St. Johns in gen
oral a mass meeting or a vole
would bo necessary. It is, how
ever, very doubtful if a tract
outside of St. Johns limits would
be pleasing to our people, he
causa if a car riilo is necessary
to reach tho trnct. might as well
keep op going to Columbia I'ark,
it wudd .oiii.
If the voters at the city Hoc
tion November 12 adopt tho two
ttic lv. in I'ortliuid for nux
year w !. continue to bo tho low
cat of any city on tho Pacific
Coast Portland's taxation for
mmiir.uil purposes will be prac
ticalh 100 pur cent lei than the
taxutlon of Seattle and of San
KrunciNcoand it will bo loss than
any other by a coimlilerabl
margin.
In addition it will iuwuro the
launching of one of the most gi
gnntic improvement programs
ever attempted in tlio city o
Portland. The program will in
elude the paving of dT milen o
city streets and the laying of at
least 2f miles of sewers. Tho
cost of this work will, of courui
bo borne by tho property owners
benefited, but unless the two
mill tax levy is successful the
city will not have sufficient
funds with which to defray the
exnensus of engineering, ndvor
Using ami supervision of the
work.
At a recent city election tin
rotors repealed the charter pro
vision providing forn five pi r
cent ciutrge on all assessments
to puy for these costs and now
this money must come from the
city's general fund. The jm
provoment program means em
ployment of thousands of men
next year but, should the tax
levy bo defeated, this work can
not be performed.
In addition the success of the
tax lery will mean udditiona
arc lights for the now poorly
lightod tactions, such as bt.
Johns, Lents and other districts,
trill mean more adequate polict
and fire projection and will allow
for better caro for tho city's
parka and Play grounds.
To the averago tnv payer, the
increased levy will mean an ud
ditional cost of but three cents
a week, or less thanS2 ptr year.
For three cents a week, Portland
can be given service to which
tho taxpayers and citiccn are
entitled, but defeat for the
measuro will mean further cur
tailment of a now too much cur
tailed city service.
porarlly reduce the level of prices
by perhaps 2 or 3 per cent,
though tho result would undoub
tedly be higher prices a few
months hence than otherwise
would bo tho case," says Prof.
Moulton of Chicago. Produce,
produce, produce, must be the
slogan of all patriotic citizens.
Production will make us a busy
people. Busy people are happy
people. Happy people are good
citizens.

Increased production is the

nadcqucite production is the
basic cause of the high cost of

Flour That Is
Sure to Suit
There arc so many kinds
of flour and so many good
claims made for each that
it's hard for housewives
to decide which to buy.
We can supply almost
any brand of flour you
want, but will be glad to
tell you which one we
believe you will like the
best.
Poor flour is expensive at
any price. The best is
cheapest at the price we
offer.

Dear Mary:
I am simply joyed to my eyebrows with ti e new
"heater" I bought yesterday. It's an ornament to our
home and gives out such wonderful heat. Why, I can
scarcely miss the fuel it burns, cither; it will pay for itself
in one winter. You just put on your hat and run over and
see my new heater "at work" and you'll want one just like
it.
Yourfriend-IIELEN.
P. S. I got my new heater (they have ranges too) from
