I believe thai we ahould ac quire these public utilities as f.tst as we ran and an fas! as we are able to take tare of them: but I favor regu lation as the r)rt Mep toward owner ship We are moving In that direction. "Before the eelahl lehmen t of the In terstate Railroad Oommlsslon we knew little about the cost or operation of railroads, but now through the opera tion of the Interstate Commission we know all about the railroads and how t'er are operated. W hen the state, or any city, undertakes to acquire a piece of property It must par several prices for It. I believe that the assessed value with ;.l per rent added, should be the price paid for puhllc property. So In the acquisition of public utilities we iimiM know the real value, without aater. "There Is another matter In which I am Interested and that ts state Insur ance. The various companies make hl rmirtriids that miaht be saved to the taxpayers of this state. 1 am great Iv Interested In state Insurance, and believe that It is comma.

A limp irUori of conditions relative lo countv adm -nlstratlon between King I'ount. Wasl-ington. and Multnomah Countv nor!. alxe Portland conelder-aMx- liie belter of It. according to the iesMrt -f I'ounlv Judge t'leeton and County Commissioners l.lghtner and Hart, on tn.-lr re.tum Sunday night from Seattle, where they Investigated King Count s'fairs. The members of the Court xx.nt north at Ce invitation of the oinp.ti intereeted In the nianu fa.turs o; " rrenite." a bard surface paving t at has teen used lo some ex lent Ciece. T-e -vstem employed In the Audi tors ofti. e In King County, says Mr. I.lgi tner. is similar to that In Mult nomah Countx. It costs considerably more to construct the roads there how ever, be polnta oat, and the entire tax rate Is higher than In Multnomnh Coun ty. The total lax levy there this year la II mills, while that In Multnomah County Is S4.4 mills. The maradam roads In King County, he says, are constructed at a eost of about tl0.'"4 a mile, while In Multno mah County they are built at a cost of from $1000 to .".0o a mile, and he thinks Multnomah County roads are in better shape. The btgti cost of road construction In the Sound country he attributes to the faf-i that the work there la under Ihe supervision of a county engineer. Instead of tinder a road supervisor, aa here, and that the engineer has about 40 assistants, at salaries ranging from I5S to $150 a month. Kunhermora. all road work Is done by contract, which bring the cost considerably higher than It would bat If done directly by the county. Nat ural conditions also tend lo make roadbtilldlng In that section extensive, says Mr. l-lghtner. The irravel and road material have to tie hauled considerable distances before it la available for roadhulldlng purposee. while Jn Mult nomah County the irravel beds and rock, quarries are practically adjacent to the roads. King County has about lono miles of road, and Multnomah County about 400 miles, but Kin County la several times larger than Multnomah County. For road funds this year the Northern state county has IZSO.ooO. . Tiie members of the County Court were pleased with the reault of their invesxtigaiions of the new paving, al though thev do net think that laid In King County has been thoroughly test ed. It has been down 14 months and thus far has given good service. Four teen miles are In use. Travel on King Countv roads Is about one-tenth that on the Multnomah roads, says Mr. I.ttrhtner. as the country about Seattle Is not the farming kind of that about Portland. Here C e rouds are contin ually In tise bv farmers hauling their products to the city, while such is not the case around Seattle. Light auto mobile traffic forma a large portion of road travel In the North. A trial may be given the new pav ing here. It Is believed that If it proves satisfactory it can he used In redress ing roads at a cost of about (lono a mile Its manufacturers assert the new pavement is smootil and dualtess. Thus far Multnomah County has no hard sur face roads outside of Portland. SNOW AIDS INTERIOR lK. I.VI S. WIIITK MAYS II K Mrxn COXIHTIONS I.OOI.

CONGRESS MAY BE HELD rVte Management t'rres That Kxecu tlvea of All Slate Vet of Mis sissippi to Come to Port land Neit Summer. Personal Invilaliona were sent out by the Rose Festival management yester day, not only to the seven Governor of Western state who will head the dele gation to the Northwest Development Congress at Seattle Just before the festival, but to all state executive west of the Mississippi, asking them xto come here a guests of the festival and hold a Governors" rongres at that time. The Governor will be given position of honor at every festival function held during their stay. Correspondence received by the Rose Festival management within the past few weeks shows that Inqulrle hax-e been received not only from every atate In the Cnlon. from Canada. Mexico. Ha waii the Philippine, but it likewise seems that Portland folk who are traveling In the Old World have been ."olr.g good missionary work. letter ftom numerous points abroad have been received requesting that the writer be provided with as much data and de scriptive matter a is available. In the list of correspondence through out the I'nlted States, the volume of mall received from the Atlantic sea board ha been unusually heavy of late. This Is particularly true in the rase of Elk lodge, which will not have big enough delegations to come by special train direct to the grand lodge reunion, but which have heard of the wonders of the Rose Festival and desire to form small parties to come out for the fes tival and remain In the Pacific North west until the Klks' convention, the Golden Potlatch and other attractions are held. The round-trip rate Is the same and the return limits will make such a comprehensive sight-seeing tour possible. "fust-Card Iay l aluahlr. Many of these Inquiries have come directly to the festival headquarters, but every day letters are turned over by the various commercial organiza tions, by the Portland railroad official whose line are doing much valuable advertising throughout the territory they reach. A considerable portion of the Inquiries are sent to Portlanl peo ple by relatives and frUndg in the Kast. and to such an extent, that the great value of having an annual "Post Card day" ha become at once appar ent. Thl year the acheme wa Inaugu rated and made a state-wide movement under proclamation by Govermxr West. The dale w-as February 22. and thou sands of Oregonlnn wrote to friends and relatives. Kvldently nearly every Portland resi dent must have extended a special in vitation to the Easterners to come out here for the Rose Festival In June, for a great Increase In the number of In quiries received by the festival board was apparent w-lthln ten days after "Post-Card day." The mall are still bringing In scores of application for literature, for rates, for general pro grammes and for general data. Assssl ohserx aaee I'rged. In the face of this showing Presi dent Ralph W. Ifoyt will strongly urge upon the people of Portland and of the state to observe every year such an occasion. "The Immense value of It to the Rose Festival has been indicated In an as tonishing manner." he said yesterday. "People In the Fast or Middle West have, of course, heard about the Rose Festival through the railroads and other publicity agents as well as from their friends who have attended one of our show, but this year, tens of thou sands of them have received a direct and personal invitation from their ac quaintances out here and their inter est has been aroused much more keenly than through any other means. It Is keeping tie busy replying to this class of correspondence." SCOUT CAMP TO FORM AICTIIIK KVAXS WOOD ll.AXS OKUANIZATIOX II ERK. tcv. J. K. Snyder. lio lad Walk out al Auditorium, Says Disre spect Was t Intended. At a meeting tit be held this week by person Interested In the Boy Scout movement steps will be taken toward the formation of a Portland camp. Thl announcement was made last night by Arthur Evans Wood, of Reed College, who Is one of the men inter ested in the plan to organize a camp of Boy Scouta here. Mr. Wood wa unprepared to ay Just what the char acter of the new organisation would be. further than that no military ele ment would be Included. The organ izers would, he said. be Influenced largely by the Ideas presented by Gen eral Baden-Powell In hi addresses here. The incident at the Gipsy Smith au ditorium Saturday afternoon, on the occasion of General Baden-Powell s ad dress, when Socialist and members of the I. W. W. hissed and Jeered at the speaker throughout his address and later, has been deplored by clllxen aa an outrage and one of the worst ex amplea of lawlessness the city has ever known. Rev. J. K. Snyder, of the Piedmont Presb) terisn Church, who. with his class of 35 boya. was present at the meeting, declared that the behavior of the men toward General Powell was a disgrace to the city and an Insult to a world citizen. "Our boy wanted to hear General Baden-Powell." aald Mr. Snyder ye terday. "We talked the matter over the night before and decided to go in a body. When we got to the audito rium we found ourselves in the midst of a lot of men. who began hooting and Jeering at the speaker. I told the boya I thought It was no place for them, and we started out. It wa not Intended aa a sign of disapproval of the speaker" remarks. I am person ally not very much In favor of the cout movement, I am opposed to the mllltry feature of It. In this day and age of the world I don't think we should educate boys along that line. Pur boys are organized on a more con atructlve plan. We take long hikes out Into the country and study the planta and birds: have campflres and story-telling, t do not think we shall become Identified with the movement. I admire General Baden-Powell: he is a great man." D. A. Grout, assistant superintendent of achoola. who was also present at the auditorium, expressed hts regret that uch a disgraceful exhibition should have occurred here. He deplored the fact that General Baden-Powell ahould have been aubjected to such insults, but even more be regretted that the boy present should have had uch an experience. He believed it might have a bad effect- The success of the Boy Scout movement, he aaid. would depend entirely upon the sort of men who were to have charge of it. Mr. Grout believed they must not only understand boy, but have the power to hold them. Jamea Laidlaw, British Conul. waa deeply mortified. He ald he did not think there were any real workingmen In the audience: that the disturbance was the work of loafers. "General Badan-Powell certainly made It plain that there waa no mili tary element in th movement," aaid Mr. Laidlaw yesterday. "I don't see what harm there would be In It. anyway. It la a good thin; to have military training. Dlaclpllne is rood for any boy. Military training doesn't necessarily mean that a boy must go out and hoot somebody." Mrs. R. H. Tate, of the Congres of Mother, regretted that women were not Invited to the meeting. She thought mothera should have been giv en an opportunity to hear General Baden-Powell. From what he had read of the General' speech she wa favorably Impressed with hla plan for boys. H. M. Esterly, of the Boys" Club A aociatlon. who ha had a number tf years" experience with boy through his work with the Juvenile court, ex pressed his approval of the Boy Scout movement, commending even the mili tary features which are part of Ita or ganization In aome places. Military training, he did not think, tend to make boy belligerent: on the con trary, he thought the discipline excel lent in every way. Eugene Chafin Will Speak in Auditorium Today 2 to 3 P. M.

South Tort land Property Holdex Object to Delay In Purchase of Xecesary Ground. Residents of South Portland, having property on the proposed boulevard, have sent a communication to Mayor Rushlight and the members of the Park Board, requesting prompt action in regard to the purchase of the neces sary ground. In case the city does not carry out the project, they ask that their proport be released at once, o that they will no longer be held In suspense as to what Is to become of it. Mayor Rushlight and Park. Superin tendent Mische have been working on the boulevard project a long time. They have been trying to reach agreement with property-owners concerned as to prices, and the Mayor and Mr. Mische passed all of yesterday afternoon In South Portland, going over the ground. Nearly all of the people, the Mayor savs. are asking too much for their property and condemnation proceed ings may have to be Initiated. There Is no doubt as to the Intention of the city authorities to execute the project. The letter of the South Portland res idents follows: We the undenlsned. owners of property a-lthln Ihe scope of the proposed northerly extension of the Hillside Boulevsrd In u'h Portlsnd. beg to call your sitentlon to tne fact that ever since the Boulevard was sur veyed about three years ago our property has been effectually tied up. the eonstsnt Kitallon on Ihe subject without definite ac tion on the OltVs part having seriously In terfered with and prevented handling our property, either In the way of selling. rent In, or pleusin It. ss well ss rreslly dls eourasln anv thought of Improving the property or adjoining streets or even making needed repairs to Improvements already there.

This project has been under consideration for a number of years, the expenditures were suthorlxed by rots of the people more than four snd a half years ago. and the actual cash has been In the city Treasury for this specific nurpose for nesrly five months. Thla Insetlon has been a serious dsmsge to the district affected, tending to retard Its prog ress snd development. with no redress on our part, and Justice now demands that we should no longer submit, without vigorous protest, to the delsys resulting from the policy which hss beejt pursued.
