The Verdict of 38
WESTOVER TERRACES, as a high-class residen
tial district, had many strong claims, when I
started out five weeks ago, to sell 25 of the building sites.
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."

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." .

President Kruso, of the Farmers'

writes:
"I think it would be a good plan for
the different organizations to come to

State Superintendent Alderman
writes:
"I have always believed that our pub

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

own labors for a living, to the end
that wa will have greater co-operation,
I moat heartily Indorse your resolution
