A Safe Prediction
We feel free to predict that North Plains,' 23 miles from Portland, on the
United Railways, will be a city of 5000 by 1915.
NORTH PLAINS has already grown to a town of 200 in sixty days, th most remarkable
progress ever made by any new town in the Northwest.
It is the trading center of the North Tualatin Valley. All the principal county roads of
Washington County lead to the town. Directly tributary to North Plains are 3,000,000,
000 feet of standing timber and more than 100,000 acres of fertile soil. "Water and lights
are available to all lots, streets are graded and sidewalks laid.
DOESN'T NORTH PLAINS APPEAL TO YOU AS AN INVESTMENT? North Tualatin
Valley acreage and North Plains town lots will double in value in less than Two (2) Years.
For information write, telephone or talk to us.

EXPERT ATY.M.G.A.
Eastern Swimmer Gives First
Lesson to Boys Here.
NEW METHODS ARE USED
Two Hundred I-nds Instructed in
Institution's Pool In Pri
mary Rudiments of the '
Aquatic Art.
Launching his elx-day learn-t-wtm
campaign by giving tOO boys their first
lesson during the afternoon and an In
terested crowd of men a lecture upon
the baslo principles of tha swimming
art during tha evening, H. H. Corsan,
of the International Toung Men's Chris
tian Association, made his debut In
Portland yesterday at the local asso
ciation tank. Mr. Corsan has been In
structing T. M. C A. men and boys
throughout tha United States during
the past year and claims to have taught
S000 boys to swim during th past three
months.
Mr. Corsan comes from New York
City, but has appeared In many of tha
larger cities of the United States and
Canada during th past few years. Re
cently h cam from Montreal. Winni
peg and other Canadian, cities. The
Portland visit Is part of a tour of the
Northwest, which included stops at
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver
and Walla Walla.
Mr. Corsan Is radically different from
other swimming instructors In giving
his first lessons In that h teaches th
crawl stroke to th beginner Instead
of the familiar breast stroke. Although
the boys are told to begin the crawl It
is really th "dog fashion" method that
is used at the start. Mr. Corsan says
he will teach his pupils to swim In two
lessons.
More than 1000 men and boys have
signed up for lessons from the Eastern
Instructor. Heretofore It has been cus
tomary to teach only the boys, but men
ar to be given Instruction this week
also.
Last night Mr. Corsan gave an ex
hibition of swimming. Including the art
of life saving, the uses of the various
racing strokes and exhibitions of fancy
aquatic tricks. The Easterner claims
be can swim using 50 different modes
of propelling. A large crowd gathered
last night to see the swimmer. Lessons
will be given afternoon and evening
every day this week. Those learning ta
swim during tha week will be given
buttons for their effort. In th East

REFUSE BURNED CHEAPLY
Garbage Crematory Disposes of Ma
terial Below Guarantee.
The official report of H. N. Napier,
uperlntendent of the garbage crema
tory, made to the Board of Health yes
terday, says that the plant just com
pleted by the Publlo Works Engineer
ing Company, burned refuse of all kinds
during the past month at an average
of 44 cents a ton below the guaran
teed cost.
Mayor Simon and members of the
Board expressed great pleasure at the
showing made.
Th Board, upon motion of ' Dr.
George B. Story, ordered Health Officer
Wheeler to prepare a circular letter and
to forward a copy to every transporta
tion company In the city. . Including
streetcars, taxicabs and . ambulance
companies, notifying them that the or
dinances concerning fumigation will
hereafter be strictly enforced. A copy
of the odlnance will be sent to each
company affected. Dr. Story said that
some of the companies have not been
complying with the regulations and h
believed this to be an important thing
to enforce. Mayor Simon declared him
self thoroughly In accord with this
plan.
There were 0 cases of scarlet fever
during April; three of smallpox and 11
of diphtheria, ther being two deaths
from this disease. A contagious hospi
tal Is badly needed, the health authori
ties declare, and they are much disap
pointed because the City Council has
refused to make any provision for this.
During th month the milk Inspectors
condemned 490 cans of milk that fell

Polfing met the strangers Saturday
