Two weeks later, as an effect of these claims, I saw nearly 400 visitors, and I think 17 private automobiles, on the property at one time. Today, as a result of these claims, not 25, but 38 of the sites have been purchased by the leading and most active men of affairs in the city by Presidents, Physi cians, Attorneys, Capitalists and Manufacturers. Now, Westover Terrace sites are most likely to. be at a premium within a brief period. The reason? It is not a secret a subtle something, set in motion by desires freely expressed by opinions and by the finan cial interests of the purchasers of these 38 sites, has created a force that in itself is irresistible! Westover Terrace sites are irrestible! Satisfy that insistent desire come up and see the property and judge of this exclusive location for Portland's "Four Hundred." Take either Twenty F. N.

Westover Terraces and Eastmoreland - 823 SPALDING BLDG. LABOR PLAN LIKED Educators for Co-operation Federation Seeks. ALL APPEALS ANSWERED Conference to Discuss Closer Ties Between Schools, Farmers and' Others la Approved Date to Be Set Soon. SALEM. Or., Feb. 10. (Special.) Replies from the heads of the state educational institutions to the pro posal of the State Federation of Labor for closer acquaintance and oo-opera-tion among the laboring, farming and educational Interests, have all been received and all are uniformly favor able to a conference for discussion of the subject. Publicity In every detail of the move ment Is asked by the committee for the Federation. The committee points out that In certain Quarters It Is be lieved the farmers and laboring classes are antagonizing the schools especial ly the higher schools. This, It says, is a mistake. It refers to the obliterating of the normal schools a few years ago, end the present difficulties of tha uni versity as being largely due to a gen eral state of antagonism and corrupt politics. Whatever is the immediate outcome of the university muddle, it is argued, the promotion of unity and harmony among all classes will effect the earliest elimination of all bad effects. Past political practices are depre cated and condemned, and it is ad mitted that the present movement will be a great success if It shall suc ceed In surrounding the schools with an Independent and state-wide foroe that will liberate them from all pri vate and reactionary Influences. Orfioa System Upheld. Social and economic problems of vital moment are believed to be facing the state In common with all other states, and in their solution education must play a large part. Advice and In struction In the use of Oregon's system of popular government Is generally conceded to be a vital necessity. The extension fif fundamental education to It Is a Fact -That the Westover Terrace sites have been laid out indi vidually with some artistic re gard as to their location. -That they are level so that the cost of the residence is the only cost. -That there is a double system of terracing that sets every resi dence on a plateau of its own distinct, separate, complete. -That the streets have been built so that walking is easy and the autos can use "high." -And that the Portland pano rama never seems so beautiful as when viewed from the par ticular point of view of West over Terraces. both old and young, a perfectly proper function of our higher educational In stitutions, Is greatly needed. This will entail the expenditure of more and more money but will return, If rightly directed, an hundred fold In vital pro tective knowledge among the people. Tha responsibility and essential In tegrity of those who must chiefly com pose the movement, should, it Is thought, set at rest all apprehensions as to any malignant designs or effects. All the larger problems that affect labor and the farmer, such as the high cost of living and co-operation for its reduction, maximum hours and mini mum wages in relation to the cost of the necessaries of life, promotion of more leisure for the Individual and the best use of it for the higher de velopment of men and women, are alike proper elements of education, while the extension of opportunities for higher education and general betterment of public school system as well as all the problems that face the schools are equally the affairs of the people at large including very prominently ths agricultural and laboring elements. Therefore all must be worked out upon a basis of equal consideration for all common rights and interests. Varsity Head Favors Plan. President Campbell, of the university, expresses pleasure over adoption of the resolution by -the Federation of Labor and says: 'Here at the university we shall be very glad, indeed, to enter Into this co-operative movement for the welfare of Oregon.". President Kerr, of the Agricultural College, writes: "1 agree fully with you in your state ment regarding the desirability of the heartiest co-operation among the state institutions of Oregon. All agencies organized for the promotion of the In terests of the public can accomplish most by working In harmony. To in sure harmony and co-operation there must be perfect understanding and mu tual good will. To accomplish this It seems to me desirable, if not Impera tive, that there be conferences of the representatives of the different state in stitutions and organisations. Should such conferences be arranged for, the Agricultural College will be glad to send a representative. You can depend upon the hearty co-operation of this in stitution In any effort to promote the general welfare." .

Master Spence, of the State Orange, writes: I Deneve mucn gooa can come irora i s conference pf representatives of the I Both Phones different bodies named In the resolu tion. It Is always well for the tax payers and those dependent upon them to get together and understand each other better." C. A. Rice, president of the State Teachers' Association, writes: "Personally I am interested In the matter and shall be glad to use my in fluence in any way possible to further the cause which you have taken up. I think the plan which you suggest for a better acquaintance and thorough discussion of mutual affairs Is a good one." President Kruso, of the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operatlve Union, writes: "I think it would be a good plan for the different organizations to come to gether and discuss matters pertaining to the Interest and betterment of all." State Superintendent Alderman writes: "I have always believed that our pub lio school syBtem, running as It does from the primary grades through the colleges and university and normal school. Is the best hope of our people. Since our people are made up by such a large per cent of those of small means who have to depend upon their own labors for a living, to the end that wa will have greater co-operation, I moat heartily Indorse your resolution adopted by the State Federation of Labor at The Dalles. I shall be glad to co-operate In every possible way la carrying out the purposes of that reso lution."
