HOW INVESTORS REGARD US
Some cities through their commer
cial organizations consider BOAST
instead of BOOST the requisite of a
good Publicity Department. Not so
with our Commercial Club. When in
quiring investors write for informa
tion, their questions are truthfully
answered without hesitation, nothing
but natural coloring being given to
any point, because when the truth is
bandied carefully, should the prospect
or interest himslef he come to find con
ditions exactly as represented. Many
capitalists have recently interested
themselves in our great natural re
sources; land near our city is gradual
ly, although slowly" increasing in val
ue, and large tracts are being held for
what now seem to be fabulous prices,
but not long hence the time will come
when everything will be gobbled up
and the gobblers looking for more.
At the present time, however, the
truth regarding some matters does
not look well on paper, and up to date
even though cannery people, cream
ery mien, shoe manufactures, iron
foundry men, none of those inquiring
has considered our offerings in cer
tain lines sufficiently alluring to cause
them to select our district for their
lines of endeavor.
LOCAL CONDITIONS GOOD
We had quite an exciting hour be
fore the Live Wires Tuesday evening.
Two or three of our well known citi
zens took sides on one -of the most
perplexing questions of the day, 'La
bor and Capital,' while the topic
seems to us. but of order. There is
no question of this nature between
employer and employe here. All
seem perfectly wiling to work out
their own cause, with the system of
reward for extra effort on the part of

ants. I think that it is possible, but to my mind many of your exam
ples of high buildings are DISAPPOINTING in that one HAR
MONIOUS idea in construction has not been followed by the archi
tect. '.'-
American architects should exchange ideas so that there may.be
6ome continuity and harmony in the buildings which successively rise.
Your architects show MORE STRENGTH and understand their
business more thoroughly, I think, than those of Germany or Eng
land, but my impression of New York is rather as a collection of build
ings than as a city like Berlin or London, in which more harmonious
groupings prevail.
Some American architects with whom I have talked say they have
little latitude ; that they must build as the owner directs.
WHY SHOULD AMERICA NOT HAVE A DISTINCTIVE ARCHITEC
TURE? THERE IS "A GRAND OPPORTUNITY. LITTLE IS GAINED
BY COPYING OLD METHODS AND MODELS. A DISTINCTIVE TYPE.

per mill, th& results show the feeling
existing. All would be better off if
the matter could be dropped not alone
by those in politics and the Live
Wires, but from the state of topics
for discussion, for conditions here in
every way are better than elsewhere.
' The Jury brought in a verdict of
no, so we hope our friends from Esta
cada will cease in their efforts to
ward county division. Things are
satisfactory to most districts and if j
not to Estacada, let their citizens
come before the county court, ex
plain their troubles and the court will
surely do what is wanted, if within
its power to do so. We have a reas
onable board of commissioners, and
one of the three hails from the dist- j
rict near or at Estacada.

always rented before completion

a backward step but is slowly and

27 BILLS WILL BE
VOTED ON THIS YEAR
SALEM, Or., May 9. With initia
tive petitions springing up in various
parts of the state it seems apparent
that more measures will be put up to
the people at the next general elec
tion than ever before. Two years ago
31 measures were submitted to the
people, and there are
almost that
many in sight now for this year with
no telling how many more are brew
ing in the minds of various persons.
The last legislature referred six
measures to the people, and the refer
endum will be applied to four enact
ments of the assembly. There is one
initiative nftitinn nlrpnrtv" nn file thia
bejng a constitutional amendment pro-
viding for equal suffrage. In addition
i there are 16 proposed initiative meas
ures in sight, bringing the total, at
the present time up to 27.
Among the measures for which pe
titions are now being circulated, or
will be circulated shortly, are tour
tax measures being prepared by the
state tax commission;, four highway
, bills; one to abolish capital punish
ment; one to fix railroad freight class-
i iflcations and rates; one for the re-
! peal of a county's right to establish
its own tax system; one to substitute
a filing fee for the petitions of candi
dates in primary election; one-to pre
vent congestion of nominees of one
party in the cities; one to make Lin
coln's birthday a legal holiday; one
to make the flat salary amendment ap
ply to the state printer immediately
instead of at the close of the incum
bent's term.
The six measures referred Jp the
people by the legislature include an
amendment to section 8 of article 5
of the constitution, creating the office
of lieutenant governor; an amend
ment to section 1 of article 9, provid
ing for uniform rules of taxation; an
amendment to section 32 of article 1,
providing that no tax shall be im
posed without the consent of the peo
ple or their representatives in the leg
islative assembly; an amendment to
section 1 of article 9, abolishing poll
tax; an amendment to section 1 of
article 1 7, providing manner of amend
ing constitution; an amendment to
section 3 of article 11, fixing liabili
ties of stockholders of corporations.
Two referendum petititions have
been filed against the appropriations
for the University of Oregon, which
aggregate $831,517.84, and a referen
dum vote will be taken on the appro
priation, of $50,000 for the Monmouth
Normal dormitory. Besides these
three, a referendum petition has been
filed against senate bill No. 72, which
provides for putting regulation of all
public service corporations in hands
of the state railroad commission.
An Historic London Street.
Leodenhall street was so called from
the lead roofed mansion of Sir Hugh
Nevill, which the city acquired for a
court of justice. Few London streets
possess more interesting 'literary and
historical associations. Here Peter
Mptteux, the translator of "Don Quix
ote," kept "an East India shop," and
Gibbon's great-grandfather "did not
aspire above the station of a linen
draper in Leadenhall street." East
India House, where Charles Lamb and
the two Mills were clerks, stood on
the south side of the street, and 156
and 157 occupy the site where the little
midshipman in "Dombey and Son" used
to hang. Westminster Gazette.

Congressmen Fight For
Construction of Roads
WASHINGTON, May 9. Because of
the extended debate on the proposi
tion to extend federal aid to the con
struction of state roads, there has
been talk of having meetings' of the
House of Representatives at night in
order that the business before it
might be finished so that an adjourn
ment could be taken before the Na
tional convetions are held. However,
Mr. Mann of Illinois asserted that
there would be no trouble in eettine
away by June 1st if the Senate would
Dut set its work done. Nevertheless
the da'e fhen Congress will adjourn
seems to be as much in doubt now as
it has been at any timje during the 8ejJ
sion. ,
Talking about appropriations for
rodus, me fiouse nau a long debate
over the question. Mr. Mann of Illi
nois said he recognized the fact that
probably the time had come when the
National Government in some form or
other would give aid out of the Fed
eral treasury for the construction of
roads, and he believed that whether
the Shackelford bill would involve a
present expense of $10,000,000 or $20,
000,000 a year, the expense would
amount ultimately to hundreds of
millions of dollars.
So desirous were the gentlemen of
proving their devotion to the farm
ers, who had previously shown their
disposition to "meddle" in national af
fairs by kicking about te Canadian
reciprocity, commenting on the "free
list" and asking for protection to their
products as well as to the products
of other classes of laborers, that there

brought against the steamship com
was some comment by men who want
ed, Mr. Mfcnn, of Illinois, and Mr.
Fitzgerald of New York, to ask where
their constituents came in. Fitzger
ald favored the Madden amendment,
which, he said, would result in equal
ity of treatment for urban and rural
communities. Mr. Sims of Tennessee
wanted to use Federal money to im
prove rural mail routes. Mr. ies of
Texas asked Mr. Prouty of Iowa if
he did not think it would amount to
getting money for roads by "indirect
system of tariff taxation" and Mr.
Prouty said it would, just like con
structing postoflices in Texas was,
but he tought the expenditure pro
posed would be "fair to the - people
who pav it. Mr. Madden thought too
much consideration was being shown
for the farms and not enough for
the city dweller. Still, with all the
debate and discussion, it looks as if
the country was to embark on a very
extensive plan of road developement.
The movement for good roads
throughout the United States is beii;
encouraged by the automobile inter
ests which are doing praiseworthy
missionary work of this character. It
is due in part to the automobile en
thusiasts and partly to natural condi
tions, that in California the roads are
generally very excellent In many
cases the natural soil is a decomposed
granite which packs well, and with
the addition of a top dressing of crude
petroleum it gives a smooth but re
silient surface, ideal for any but the
heaviest traffic. In and around the
city of San Diego this condition pre

OREGON SPUD CROP
That the potato holdings of Oregon
do not reach more than 250 cars in
stead of 490, as figured by the repre
sentatives of a San Francisco house,
is the opinion of leading buyers.
Figures compiled by these interests
indicate that not more than 75 cars
at the most are held by dealers in
Oregon,, although It is stated that
about an equal, amount of Oregon
stock is held in storage in San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles by speculative
interests of the south.
The same local dealers who figure
75 cars in dealers' hands, as compar
ed with 140 cars by the San Fran
cisco representative, likewise state
that about 175 cars are held by pro
ducers of the state and that 490 cars
would represent the holdings of all in
terests in Oregon and Washington at
this time.
The market for potatoes continues
to show a soggy tone. Prices again
show a loss in the south, tops being
quoted at $2 in San Francisco, with
very little stock from Oregon bring
