A lumnurr cf Improvement oa tho
Kast Sid durlns Mayor Simon" admin
istration shows that mora has ben ac
eomptlshad la tha past two years than
in It years before. Tho Seventh Ward
people mar thank Mayor Simon that
they now have th best wrr system
In tho city. When ho went Into offlca
tha Brooklyn sewer situation was dor
mant, with no prospects of an early
settlement, but tha Mayor quickly set
tled that question and made It possible
for tha treat sewer systems to be built.
ITopertr In tha Brooklyn district Is
worth all alone h line 100 per cent
mora now than It was at tha openlns;
of tha present administration as a re
sult of tha efforts of Mayor Simon. On
tha stnsle sewer contract for tha Hol-srate-Kenllwnrth
sewer system tha
Mayor saved tha people mora than
IM.ee. Tho first contract, which wsa
Jet without competition with the terra
cotta sewer trust, was for $'.:.. but
after the cement sewer plpo Interests
wera admitted through the efforts of
Mayor Wmon. the contract price was
rut to 1.0. This waa done scalnst
tha determined opposition of Mr. Rush
light, who sought to prevent sny com
petition. Brooklyn Sewer Pajs Tribute.
Tha other sections of the. Brooklyn
sewer district paid heavy tribute to tha
sewer trust, which was under the spe
cial protection of Mr. Kushll'ht. this
tribute agreatlns; between 1310.000
and BOO. When tha paving company
laid the pavement on Kast Twenty
first street with defective cement, tha
Mayor required the company to remove
the defective work and relay the pave
ment, saving tha property owners a
large sum. Tb same thing happened
oa Mllwaukle street, where much de
fective work was done. The Mayor told
th committee that waited on him that
ha would personally sea that the work
sa th street waa removed and that
first -Class work was dona.
"If yon will make me a member of
our committee.- said Mayor Simon.
'I will go with you people over tha
street when the work Is finished and
sea If It Is a first-clans Job and If It
la not It will have to coma up and b
don over."
The result wa that a large section
of th pavement on this Important
street between Beacon and Holgale
strts wss torn up and replaced. If
Mr. Kuahlltut waa Interested In get
ting good work he did not show It.
He was Interested In forcing through
th pavement on Kast Eleventh between
Krooklyn and Beacon streets. In front

f other property owners who objected.
Simon Helps Scvcnah Ward.
Tha Seventh Ward. Mr. Rushllght'a
home, received mora consideration from
Mayor Simon than from Mr. Rushlight.
In parks no part of the city has re
ceived so murn. ttellwood got th first
public park throuah the efforts of
Mayor Simon. Land was bought and
Improvements havo been made there.
The Brooklyn park, at the corner of
Mllwaukle and I'owell streets. Is now
being Improved. Kenllworth district
has obtained a fine park tract which
Is being Improved. Ground for an en-gina-hous

. .a n-.tmnrlAn.l and surroundings

the ground but for the opposition or
the property owners on East Twenty
sixth street. The sections of the pipe
are on the ground and wilt be laid as
soon as a new route Is selected to
avoid the opposition oa that street.
In the Mount Siott district, which
l part of the seventh Ward, the peo
rle now have Pull Run water, through
in efforts of Mayor blmoa to see that I
the annual water famine and snffer- t
lns of the people were relieved. Wclie

Can Oregon farmers get II. IS a
bushel for their wheat wben fed to
hogs? was the question, discussed yes
tarday before the Threshermen's con
vention, which closed last night with
a banquet at the Commercial Club. I.
O. Lively asserted thst ths Oregon far
mer could do It and cited as hi au
thority the experience of 10 or more
farmers of the state as well aa that
of Dr. Jamea Wlthyeombe. bead of the
Oregon experiment station at Corval-
11s. F. B. Simpson, of Jefferson, a del
egate to the convention, ssjd that there
waa doubt In his mind and gave his
own experience. All this led Hike On
line, of Linn County, to say:
"I am a hogralser and I believe It
Is the best paying business In tba val
ley. Mr. Simpson could not make a
profit because he bought his stockers
st a high price and then fed them
nothing but wheat. That la not the
way to raise hogs. If we are going to
raise these mortgage lifters, and that
Is what I call the hogs of Oregon, ws
hsve got to breed them. Then let them
range oa clover or soms equally aa
good erase. When the time cornea for
hardening them, feed them wheat aad
yon will get more than 11.15 a busbel
for your grain."
The threahermen also listened to a
talk upon good roads by Carlos T.
Prall. president of the Oregon Asso
ciation of Highway Improvement. Mr.
Frail said that next Monday there
would be a Joint meeting of the promo
tion committee of the Commercial Club
with the officers of the executive com
mittee of the Oood Roads Association,
for the purpose of planning a cam
paign for the establishment of good
roads associations throughout the
state. Mr. Prall said he believed that
with the co-operation of the thresher
men of the state, who were vitally In
terested ln the question of bridges
and roads, great good could be
accomplished.
The newly elected president, Wil
liam H. Fletcher, of McMlnnvllla. told
of his experience with road building ln
Tamhltl County. Secretary Phil 8.
Bates. L U Smith, of nervals. F. B.
Simpson, of Jefferson. E. W. Dant. of
Reedville. and O. A. Harth, of Tb
Dalies, all took part In the debate.
A resolution was passed that It Is
tha sense of the State Threshermen's
Association "that the standard for
bridges ln Oregon shall be of a capac
ity of not less than It tons concen
trated load, that Is, a moving load at
any one point In the structure, and that
no bridge be built In the 8tata of Ore
gon having a roadway less than IS
feet In the clear."
Addresses were made before the
members of the convention yesterday
by J. G. Smith, of Oervals. upon "Oood
Roads;" by Henry Chambers, of Cove,
on "In Vnlon There Is Strength;" by
William Smith, of Cove, on "Thresh

Mayor Simon haa bsd a brilliant ca
reer In offlca during the 21 months bs
has served tha city as Its chief execu
tive, and has a record of which sny
man may wall be proud. Of actual
achievements, he hss many thst en
title him to great credit. He has ex
hibited splendid ability and has handled
affairs of vast importance with a mas
ter hand. Many believe him to be the
best Mayor Portland has ever had. but
all who know of the conscientious,
painstaking labors he has bestowed
upon his dutfes scknowledge thst he
haa done remarkably wall.
Handling tha largest corporation In
Oregon, circumscribed by red tape and
hampered by numerous boards and
commissions, la regarded by many as
ths "biggest" task in the state. It re
quires determination, brains and out
right nerve. Tact, diplomacy and keen
foresight ars other qualities necessary
to direct public business of such mag
nttuds aa ths Mayor of Portland con
ducts dally. Patience, kindness and a
charitable disposition ars not always
found in ons rested with great author
ity, but these traits of character, ss
possessed by Mayor Simon, fit htm bet
ter for the position he hss so credit
ably held and to which he has been
asked to give further of his time.
Big Task Ills at First.
When Mayor Simon went to the City
Hall, July 1. 190$. and took charge of
city affairs, be found himself can-
fronted by a tremendous amount or
work, many projects bavins; been or
dered by the electors. Among these
waa the Broadway Bridge, to cost
IJ.000.000; the second pipeline to Bull
Run River for the city water supply.
to cost up to IJ.000.000; the Hawthorne
Bridge, the contract for which had been
let. but whlcb had not been started so
far as actual work was concerned: a
new garbage crematory, to cost up to
1100.000. and parks, playgrounds and
boulevards for which bonds had been
ordered.
Mayor Simon lost no time, but set
to work and put into operation the
necessary machinery to bring about
the existence of all these great pro
jects. One by one ha completed them.
until today there are on every nana
evldencea of the tremendous amount of
work actually accomplished by the ad
ministration. It Is Impossible to point

Hawthorne Bridge His.
The Hawthorne Avenue bridge was
rushed to completion, and Is regarded
aa one of the finest spans ln tha coun
try. It has long been ln use by the
publlo and is giving- general satisfac
tion. Under direction of ths Water Board,
the work of building the second pipe
line to Bull Run River, ordered by the
people years ago, is rapidly nearing
completion. It will be ready for use
the later part of this Summer. Res
ervoirs for storage of the additional
suply are all but finished at Mount Ta
bor. The Water Board haa caused the ex
tension of mains into sections hitherto
not supplied with the city water, among
these being Mount Scott, where, last
week, the board turned on a supply into
the malna formerly owned by a private
company. Now thouaanda of residents
ar using Bull Run water for the first
time ln their lives and they are getting
It at lower rates than they previously
paid for inferior water.
At a price of I1.S5 a square yard for
asphalt and bltullthlc. as against a rate
of $2.40 paid when he came into office.
Mayor Simon haa brought about great
relief to the people and has made Port
land a city beautiful by hard-surfacing
a large number, of its streets and "tak
ing the city out of. the mud," as has
been remarked by many.
Fine Pavements Abound.
The city now ranka in the first clasa
aa to its pavements. Almost any section
can bs reached' on hard surface pave
ments, whereas two years ago many of
the principal thoroughfares were mud
or dust, according to the seasons. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have been
saved to the property owners through
the action of the Mayor in forcing aown
the prices on all the work.
Mayor Simon has always realized
tha great importance of the harbor and
for the first time in Its history, that
part of the city is free of obstructions;
the scow dwellers, constituting a grave
menace, were banished early in bis
term; an efficient police and harbor
patrol service has been established,
where none existed, and great care is
shown ln everything pertaining to this
great asset of the city.
A new garbage crematory has been
built and will soon be ready for accept
ance by the city. The previous admin
istration had wrangled over this pro
ject for four years and when the term
was up had not as much as designated
a site for a crematory, to say nothing
about building one. Conditions were
Intolerable and Mayor Simon demanded
Immediate action, with the result re
counted. Should he be re-elected, he
will build another crematory and the
city will then have enough means of
destroying its garbage to last for
years. The coat to the homeowners
will be reduced because the expense of
Incinerating Is tp be greatly lessened.

Mayor Simon led in an agitation for
pure milk and co-operated with pri
vate citizens, the Board of Health and
City Council in obtaining legislation
that haa served greatly to improve
the cltys milk supply. A system of
inspection has been installed and tests
are made dally to keep the supply up
to the proper standard.
Of his own accord. Mayor Simon
Inaugurated a fight against the terra
cotta sewer pipe trust, which had fat
tened off the property owners for years
without the slightest molestation. He
continued this until he won a reduc
tion in rates and, against the power of
the trust agents in the City Council,
led by Councilman Rushlight, managed
to get competition. Cement pipe is now
allowed, as the efforts of the trust,
championed by Mr. Rushlight, were
overcome.
Playgrounds for children, the finest
ln the country, are now scattered over
all tha city, through. the untiring ef
forts of Mayor Simon and his Park
Board. Big park areas have .been pur
chased, a large amount of development
work has been done and the first mile
of the - proposed boulevard to connect
all of the parks Is being graded. No
city now has better parks than Port
land, considering the city's aiza and
age.
All departments of the city have been
improved and strengthened, the multi
tudinous details of the Mayor's office
have been cared for in a painstaking
manner. .
