A BENEFACTOR OF PORTLAND. Probably no man, unless we except James J. Hill, has done so much in tho past year to benefit Portland, or Is likely to do so much for years to come, and that with no loud blare of trum pets of series of pulling wrltcups, as J. Whyto Evans. Ho camo hero about a year ago to remain and to carry on his great projects, though ho had been here before, nnd with keen perception had looked over tho ground, noted not only tho peculiarly advantageous sit uation of tho city, but examined tha physical and commercial features thoroughly. Satisfying himself that there was a rich field for tho employment of talent and capital, Mr. Evans began acquir ing certain franchlso privileges and other property. As everybody knows ono of them was tho building of an lmmcnso elec tric railway system, entering at Port land and reaching .out to the south ward, connecting tho thriving towns of Hlllsboro and 'Forest Grove. This project though initiated by Mr. Evans has Blnco passed to others, as Mr. Evans' associates In tho entornriso wcro California capitalists and tho lira at San Francisco mado It Impossible for them to secure tho necessary funds to carry out their plans, yet tho great work thus begun will contlnuo to a successful conclusion under tho man agement and direction of others. Another undertaking of Mr. Evans was tho purchase of tho Chamber of Commerce Building at a cost of somo $700,000. This property was recently sold by Mr. Evans to W. D. Haffus, of Seattle at a handsome profit to Mr. Evans. Mr. Evans Is a kcon, faralghtcd bus iness man, whose faith in Portland's futuro Is unlimited. Ho Is an agree ablo companion, with a big heart, as well as a big brain and big purse, and It waB a good thing for Portland when ho "struck tho town." This city has long needed men of such entornriso and talent as Mr. Evans. Tho following conversation was overheard on Washington street ono day last woek: ' "Hollo, Klddol Aro you ready? Courso you'ro goin'?" "Going? Going whoro?" "Is it poBslblo I must now stop gob ting ready to tell you of tho big Af fair, whon Its so closo that It's almbst tlmo to begin to dress?
