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 Our Architecture Would Show 1 Off Better if Had an American It - I Distinctiveness and Wasn't Copied 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. THOROUGHLY UP TO DATE, SIMPLE, WITH NO HARD LINES, AND YET STRONG, COULD BE EVOLVED WHICH WOULD BE RECOG NIZED AS AMERICAN. Every European country is making this effort to EXPEESS IT SELF IN ITS OWN ARCEQTECTUKAL WAY. . Germany has made a tremendous effort along this line, and that it ha3 been largely successful is apparent to one who visits Berlin. employer in effect in our largest pa 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. Live Wirelets (By Edgar Bates.) Any man looking for an ivestment for a few thousand dollars, Oregon City offers a splendid opportunity, which will net him splendid returns for his money. Small bungalows, or cottages in this city are always in great demand, and a house is nearly always rented before completion Backed by the large mill pay roll and a highly productive forming country on all sides this town never will take a backward step but is slowly and steadily forging ahead. These days everyone wants to get next to a "pull." The best pull we know of is the dentist's which nets him about a dollar per. Tooth brushes and manicure sticks for a dog! Bet a dollar a womftu owns the cur. Pendleton is at work on an $85,000 High School. Our new building is a dandy, but is really too small. A year or so more it will be up to the school board to erect a new building or a big annex. 9 Where are you going to spend the 30th. Oregon City eats over a ton 'of pop corn a month ask the .pop corn man, Why" don't you get busy on that flower-box today? e A shave can yet be had for 15 cents and a safety razor purchased for" 30 cents but you wouldn't believe it to see some fellows we know. A few more instructive attractions at the picture show houses like the lecture given at one of the theatres this week cannot help but have its influence for the better on the hun dreds of peope who flock to the 'mov- ings.' Which is worse? Black shoes and tan stockings or tan shoes and black stockings. Keep your eyes open to day and you will have a chance to de cide for yourself. ' Why don't some one start a boat house? Within a. -radius of T or 6 miles from here there are to be found the prettiest spots on the entire river.

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.

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 REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Kennedy McLarty and Lizzie Mc Larty to George H.

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.

" 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.
