"Good county roads are as essential

president of the Oreat Northern Hall

the new Oregon Trunk line Into Cen-
tral Oregon yesterday.
in fact, the com trurt Ion and tile
prosperity of the railroads depend
i largely upon the manner In which the
I state and county highways are kept up.
We can't expect to get much freight
bujlneaa from a community that does
not proTlde ample access to the rail
roads.
"A deplorable feature of railroad de-
relopment that I hare noticed, though.
Is that many communities, instead of
improving tbeir highways after a rail
road enters. nrrlevt them. Before the
xauroao. is Bum the county road as a
means of transportation Is a necessity
and the people try to keep It Op to the
best possible standard. Aftrr the rail
road is built the public highway no
longer appears so essential to the
of the people and they sometimes
cease- to give It required attention.

ef Portland can be accomplished only
b j. amending the city charter, and that
to amend the city charter a vote of the

Among other things it Is contended
by the plaintiffs that the ballot In St.
Johns did not specify that the territory
described on the ballot was the City of
St. Johns, and therefore the voters were
misled. It la asserted that If It had
been known by the voters that the city
01 foi. Johns was Included In the tern

voted down the annexation. This fail

By being annexed to Portland, the
property owners of St. Johns. It Is as
serted, must take up a much greater
tax burden than they are compelled to
carry at present. It la declared that
the Indebtedness of the city If Port

JTl'RV JtECOMMODS SIERCV
Available candidates to run against
O. Rushlight Independently for
Mayor were dlacussed at two confer
ences of business-men held yesterday.
One of these meetings was held at the
roruana Commercial Club. The other
was of a mors Informal nature. While
no candidate was definitely decided
upon at either of the two conferences to
run against Rushlight, the subject will
be considered further at another meeting
today, when It Is expected representa
tives who attended-both conferepces yes
terday will be In attendance.
The antl-Rushllght movement has
progressed sufficiently to Ineure the
bringing out of an Independent candi
date. The situation now resolves Itself
Into a question who the candidate will
be.
Simon Tred to Hun.
At tha conference held In .the Com
mercial Club, sentiment strongly fa
vored Mayor Simon. In rid It Ion to this
expression, another delegation of Re
publicans called on Mayor Simon at the
City Hall yesterday and renewed the
demand of previous delegations that he
consent to run against Rushlight as an
Independent candidate. But, as on for.
mer occasions. Mayor Simon gave his
interviewers little satisfaction. He re
fused to say whether or not he would
run. reserving a final .decision until
he has an opportunity to Tevlew the
field and determine his chances of de
feating Rushlight if -he should enter
the contest.
John H. Burgard. who has been sug
gested as a desirable Independent can
didate, probably will not enter the fight
even If It should be put up to him.
Burgard has said that for business rea
sons ha could not afford ta run for
Mayor, even If he had .the advance as
surance that he would be elected.
Before an Independent candidate la
Selected. Mr. Burgard would have Rush
light commit himself definitely to the
publlo as to what he stands for U muni
cipal affairs and what could be expected
from him aa Mayor. This suggestion
does not meet with general favor
among those who would defeat Rush
light, from the fact that the Republi
can nominee for Mayor during the pri
ma r-s campaign most Industriously
avoided committing himself on any Is
sue confronting the voters at this time.
Positive Man Wanted.
The demand la for a positive and ag
gressive candidate who has some defi
nite policies and who, in advocating
them. Is not afraid to come out In the
open and tell the voters where they .
can find him.
Efforts to bring out Dr. Andrew C.
Smith against Rushlight were renewed
yesterday. By many Republicans Dr.
Smith Is picked as the man who can de
feat Rushlight by reason of the sources of
strength be can command over Rush
light. Dr. tmltb, however, has not com
mined himself. He haa taken tha sub
ject under advisement.
Further progress has not been made
In the movement from another direc
tion to persuade Tom V ord. Democrat
la ex-Sheriff, to run. Thus far Word
has been as reticent as Dr. Smith In
Cam You Make
$ 1 p? a Year?
"Xo!" the average worker -will have to confess ,
after carefully going over the question "nor half
that." v . ;
But maybe you haven't considered all the possi
bilities, all the chances that are about you.
EVER FIGURE OUT the earning worth of even
a small Oregon fruit or vegetable tract one close to
market? Then let's couple your energy to, say TEN
ACRES and see what you can do.'
Take apples, for an example : A mature orchard
will produce, on a bad year, 500 boxes of good apples
per acre. Good apples being $2 a box on the average.
Hence multiply the selling price by the number of
boxes produced per acre and again by the number
of acres $2x500x10 equals $10,000. .
"Hundreds of thrifty people are doing that well
and better on fertile little Oregon tracts. You cau
do it, too. x
FOR HERE'S A CHANCE
TO GET THE LAND CHEAP
Those happy, independent producers saw their
chance years ago when good land was cheap.
Now CHARPITTrNG, the new cheap land clear
ing method, is making it possible to buy in at tha
beginning of a NEW ERA of development the
CHARPIT ERA.
WE HAVE DEVELOPED CHARPITTING
IN BEAVER HOMES AT
T?
NOTE THESE FACTS
You , can't, with' an expert's help find better or more fer
tile orchard 6r garden, land any place at any price.
Situated near Goble, ,.,' on the Columbia River, in superb
scenic and climatic settings.
Water in plenty on every tract for irrigation and all uses.
Soil ranges from Beaverdam in bottoms to red-shot, iron
oxidized "fruit lands on gentle west and south slopes. Depth
of soil, 5 to 20 feet. .
Orchard slopes fully protected from north and east winds.
Jo rocks.
Good school ofren f ull season ; stores and good roads.
When you buy from us you buy from owners, buy first hand
and you'buy cheap. - . ' .
Charpitting enables us to remove a 4-foot stump for 50
cents, whereas it costs 10 times that price by the old way.
Charpitting is what enables you to get in cheap. No better
reason. You can't buy better land for $300, or $600, or $1800
an acre. .
Transportation by rail and riverr-competition. gives low

Belief la ThatStrong Man 'Would
Defeat Rushlight for Mayor.
At an informal fathering yesterday
afternoon on the Eaat Side there was
a general discission of tire Mayoralty
Ituatlon and It was a consensus of
opinion that Mr. Rushlight had re
ceived his full strength in the prima
ries and that a good man might beat
him at the June election. The names
of ex-Mayor Rowe, John H. Haak, John
M. Gearln, Dr. Andrew C. Smith, Will
iam H. Mall. Dr. H. C. Raffety and K.
Mills were discussed.
'I believe that John M. Gearln could
be elected Mayor of Portland If he
would accept the nomination." said Dr.
Raffety. "and he would muke a Mayor
of whom the City of Portland would
be proud. I should like to see him
placed In the field. I could vote for
ex-Mayor Rowe. He made us a good
Mayor before and would be -a. good
man. There la another man Jim the
East Side who would make a good
Mayor and that is K. L. Mills. He is
a big man physically and mentally. He
was recently a candidate for Councll-man-at-Large
and la a member of the
Civic Council. However, there are
plenty of men who would make a good
race if they would come out."
It waa the opinion of the group that
Mr. Gearln would stand-a good chance
of -winning If he could be Induced to
become a candidate.

Rushlight said yesterday he was not at
all alarmed by reason of the talk of
bringing out an Independent candidate

Rushlight aid his friends believe
that he can win against a divided op

have not the slightest fear or u nomas
the Democratic nominee, feeling that
he Cannot register better than 50 per
cent of his party's vote, let alone
making any substantial inroads on the
ReDubllcan vote. Their only fear is
from an ludenendent Republican, who
may be In a position to command the
vote of the antl-Rushlisrht Republicans.
In this connection they are using
