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.

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

in the triumphant march of prog

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

manner in which tho visitors
caused tho good things to disap

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

should go down to Municipal
Terminal No. 4 this week and
take a look. 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.
