""total fo ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 17 gT J0HNSt PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1921. NUMBER 50 i iic spirit or progress The spirit of progress should al ways be uppermost in the minds of all. -It is wasted energy to build castles in the air. It is very easy to criticize whether it is just or unjust. A little encourage incut at the right time is one . oi me largest assets in success. There are two sides to every oucs Birthday Party An enjoyable birthdny party wns givon Thursday evening, October 13th, at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. W.

Gossip is one of the great est modern evils and should be eliminated whenever possible. It docs not help, but hinders progress. What would be the condition of the United States were it not for the progressive spirit of our forefathers when they came face to face with ad versity of every description ? Did they try to evade responsibility? History says they did not, but even Hoes further and declares they over come all adversities and obstacles in the triumphant march of prog ress. Where is there a better place to live than in the United States? Which Is the leading country of the world at this time? What nation has shown more progress?

This part of the United Stale is rcioguizcd us the fiuauciul center of the world.

No The St. Johns Community Clubf, was delightfully entertained at the big plant of the Log Cabin Bakery on Ivy street Tuesday Bernice evening. The members of the Mlt.lt MMW . I . C . .J 1.1 1 biuu uuu iiitrir ii luuus uuuciiiuiuu at the Peninsula Bank corner and were transported to tho bakery establishment by nuto. In Mnrch of last year the club was enter tained at this bakery and pleas- i ant memories of tho occasion made thoso attending nt that time desirous of repeating the visit. Tho number making tho trip was much larger than upon former visit, but they met with tho same hospitality and gener ous treatment on tho part of the management that mado the in tial visit so pleasant. The night was a most glorious ono with tho friendly moon shining in all its splendor and the atmosphere at just tho right "pitch." Upon arrival at tho big plant tno party was met by tho man agemont and escorted through out tho oxtensivo establishment. Tho process of making bread from the flour to the wranued product was shown and interest ingly described. Itwasimnresscd upon tho visitors that nothing is leit to guess in this modernized bakery. Everything is tested. everything is weitzhed nnd cleanliness and sanitation nro tho watchwords. As a nlcasimr culminntion of tho trip through tho plant the guests were finally led to tho dining npartmcnt, where un ap petizing and delicious repast, principally of products of tho ;lant, waB in waiting. Tho manner in which tho visitors caused tho good things to disap pear was a practical demonstra tion of tho excellence of tho re freshments provided. progress several points or centers wire founded that showed the spirit of progress, namely, Seattle, Sun Francisco, Los Angeles nnd Portland. When the great gold strikes were made In Klondike Sc nttle was given the opportunity of becoming one of the largest cities on the Pacific Coast. It became one of the busiest places iu the West. The people moved mountains so they could build roads and make other improvements the same as the Kustcrti cities. Today Seattle is oue of the leading citi s on the Pacific Coast. Sail Francisco showed its progressive spirit more so than even before after the 1900 disaster, when the city was practically leveled to the ground by op earthquake and fire. Today this city is larger aud better titan ever uetore. rossimy a year or two later Los Angeles woke up to the fact that there was a possibility of Ios Angeles becoming oue of the greatest cities on the Pa cific Loast. Tlie people started a march of progress of their own trey bought a strip of land over 30 miles iu length so they would have access to deep water; they de veloped Wilmington Bay and are now a recognized seaport the world over. They have spent millions of dollars for roads and other im provements. At times vo we want our city to be overrun with robbers, thieves nnd "stick- up" men? Nol Wc, the people of Portland, do not want any of these conditions. We must find someway to overcome them. The only pious ible way is to create work no all can make nn honest living. Why not get together and ask and assist our city, county and state commission crs to commence public improve ments of value to evirybody? At this particular time we should do all in our power to assist the un fortunate. This is our duty God to and our fellow man. Those In au thority are doing all they can to keep taxes down. Hut let us bear in mind the fact that the Portland of today is far more advanced than it was 20 years ago, If everylnxly would take up their end of the burden as the city advanced we would in all probability have lower tuxation and the indebtedness of the city would be a great deal less, but a great many people could not see the advisability of these improvements aud rather than pay their portion let the prop erty revert to the city. A special election is coming soon ti decide whether or not a small tax shall be levied for the purpose of raising funds with which to promote au This is the i properties exposition la lOM were bonded for several times tneir time for everv taxnaver to do his assessed valuation.

If the majority are in favor me wesi coasi oj me uuiiro oiaica. 0f tu . creat event t w mean a It has proven (bat progress alone will bnild up a city. Now we will come to Portland We are begin ning to realize the necessity for fu ture development. We already know that this city, with its narrow streets, us confronted with very difficult problems, that be solved iu the near future. This city has shown a progressive spirit from its infancy and at this oppor tune time should start its march of progress. Portland has been, at the lop of the list in financial ac tivities since the first of the year. The snipping industry tnat great deal of work for everybody, It will mean that the owner of a lot will be giving his pro rata toward advertising to the world the won ders and possibilities of the future Portland. It will be the first step some toward securing more factories and must industries. It means the cetthif to. gether of the entire population and backing up the spirit of our fore fathers, Joe Roberts.

The municipal etc vator is filled to capacity and is awaiting ships to move part of tho wheat away before more Is taken into tho bins. Just 20,000 tons of wheat from ranches nil over tho Northwest aren tribu tary to Portland is piled into those great bins. Tho elevator will hold another 10,000 tons, but as the wheat accepted iu of different grades nnd varieties the 20,000 tons is nil that can be put In nt this time. The steamer Abcrcos, operated by tho Pacific Steamship Company, will stnrt taking on a full cargo of some 8000 tons for shipment to Europe shortly. Tho wheat will go Into the Abcrcos in bulk and will be tho llrst cargo of bulk wheat to move from hero in nn American ship this year. The Grny-Rosen-baum Grain Compnny which is usttiK the elevator to Handle its wheat, will ahlp the cargo. Other vessels will follow the Ab crcos to the elevator for wheat. Tho elevator has already been instrumental in bringing addi tional business to Portlnnd nnd will be a factor that will explain some of tho figures in Port- and'a commercial growth dur ng the next few years.
