Mtnr tales have been mad In the
Altamead Addition, on the Base Uni

level tract, and la ennvenlent to the
Paso IJne and to all the roads of tha.
dlstrlrt. It Is not far from the Monta
vllla rnrllne. which ends at East Eigh
tieth street and the Hone Una Road.
Another carltne Is projected from the
end of the Mount Tabor carllne at East
FIxty-ntnth street, which will be built
to Eat Eighty-eighth street This will
rarrjr the spur well Into Altamead and
throuKh the well-settled district on the
east slope of Mount Tabor. The money
for this extension was subscribed and
paid In some time ago. According to
the agreement with the Portland Rail
way. Light & Power Company, the
property owners .Interested will pay
one-half of the cost of the extension,
the total being about $14,000. anj the
rompany will pny tho other half. " As
buildings are being erected between
Kast Blxty-nlnth and East Eighty
eighth streets. It Is expected that the
branch will pay from the start Just
how soon the extension will be built is
not known at present, but probably net
until the frnnchlse question has been
adjusted between the city and the

.Montavllla Is expanding steadily
eastward alone; both sides of the Base
I.tne Kond. I.evel and beautiful, this
section presents superior facilities to
the homehullder of moderate means
who cannot afford heavy cost for grad
Ins;. The cost of Improving the street
through the territory east of Mt. Tabor
will always be moderate. At present
the county keeps the Das Una and
the crossroads running; south to the
Section IJne Road.
Hawthorne Line to Be Eilesitl.
Just what the prospects are for the
extension of the Hawthorne-avenue
line through South Mount Tabor la no,
definitely known. J. E. Rand an1
others Interested Insist that the ex
tension be made this year on Thirty
ninth avenue to East Seventy-first
street. A considerable sum has been
subscribed, but not enough to meet the
cost of construction. There Is a very
jrreat district adjacent to the Section
IJne Road that will be tributary to
this car line, but the people on the
Section Line Road are not supporting
(he extension so far south as Thirty
Tilnth avenue.
Settlement haa extended to East
Kighty-second street. The German
Altenhelm has been completed and
Is now occnpled. Evening; Star Orange
hall Is on the south side of the bee
tlon Line Road from the German homr.
Homes are being built along the Sec
tion Line Road, and the vacant tract
on the north side of the road has been
subdivided and Is being sold off.
The proposed Improvement of the
Mount Tabor Park will help all the
district eastward. The 15000 appropri
ated to complete the roadways started
last Winter will do much In that di
rection. The park will be In the cen
ter of a big district, which haa al
ready extended three miles from the
West Side. The Mount Tabor Improve
ment Association Is now working to
open a road Into the park from East
Sixty-ninth street. The association de
sires to afford the visitors during the
Festival and Elks' reunion opportunity
to reach the summit of Mount Tabor
and see the country to the east and
north, r. If, Welch, of the associa
tion, said:
'Mount Tabor rark Is a fine point
from which to see the city. Visitors
have a broad view of the country be
tween Portland and Mount Hood. We
hope to have the work far enough
along so the visitors can ride to the
summit In automobiles. Mount Tabor
Is a big asset to Portland, and we want
to show It to our guests. The Im
provement association will hold a pie
nln soon in the Mount Tabor Park,
when we shall Invite all the cltixena of
rnrtland to come and see for them
selves what we have In the way of
a park."
North Mnnat Tabor Grew.
On tho west and north sides of
Mount Tabor there Is considerable
progress. The addition on the west
slope between East Sixtieth and East
Sixty-second streets haa been paved
and many of the lots have been sold
off. These are fine residence sites
overlooking Portlnnd and the Willam
ette River. Several fine homes are un
der construction In this territory.
Practically all the street have been
paved between East Thirty-ninth and
East Sixty-second. Automobiles use
Belmont snd tho Base Line Road In
going east, but when a good street Is
paved on the east side of Mount Tabor
thev will pass directly over Tabor
Heights down into Montavllla- Th
present route around the north side of
Mount Tabor, however. Is one of great
beauty.
Palmyra Is the new addition on the
north side of Mount Tabor. It Is rapld
lv being developed. No more com
manding view can be found anywhere
than from this addition. Between the
Bnae Line and East Gllssn street this
new district Is being rapidly built over
with an attractive class of houses.
This property Is considered high class
for residence purposes. Many of the
streets have been Improved between
the Base Line and East Gllsan street.
Jonrstnore 1n Montavllla shows to good
advantage In the way of neat homes.
That portion north of East Gllsan
etreet Is building up rapidly. A new
eohoolhouse Is promised for North
Jonesmore this year to provide school
facilities for that growing section.

ECONOMIC WASTE SEEN
EFFICIENCY OPIXDCSTItY LESS.
EXED BY POLITICS,
Electioneering Activities Hare Bad
Effort on Business Longer Presi
dential Terms Are Vrged.
That the Industrie of the United
Stafs are operating on an average of
only S per cent of their efficiency on
account of electioneering activities and
uncertainties of politic Is the opinion
expressed In the monthly letter of
Spencer Trask A Co, of New York, re
ceived last week by Wilfred Shore A
Co. This condition Is declared to be
the cause of great economic waste.
Longer Presidential terms are urged as
a possible solution of the question. The
letter. In part Is as follows:
'We do not see how the unfortunate
situation In which the Republican party
finds Itself could help but arrest the
attention and activities of the business
world, as the principles for which the
rival candidates are contending are In
the main essentially different and In
many cases strike at the roots of re
publican Institutions.
It Is certainly most unfortunate tnat
this country, which Is first of all a
business country, should bo upset
every four years by political upheavals.
which Invariably affect the free course
of trade. With primary elections
which settle nothing six months and
more In advance of the final election.
and with the skirmishing which pre
cede these primaries, the specter of
unrest throws Its shsdow anywhere
from nine to 12 month ahead of the
actual settlement of the Issue.
"In other words. It haa now com to
a point where we are free from elec
tioneering activities for only three
years out of the four, or, expressed In
per cent, we are operating, year In and
year out on an average of only 75 per
cent of efficiency. This great waste Is
as unfortunate as It Is unnecesary, and
we hope that the day may not be far
distant when a President will hold of
fice for lonarer than four years without
a fresh election being forced on the
country.
"By this time next month tho politi
cal atmosphere should have cleared ma
terially, as both the Republican and
Democratic convention will have been
held, but until the result of these is
known we do not look for a pronounced
change In activity, particularly in the
stock market
"The market for active listed bonds
hss also shown further contraction, the
volume for May having been less than
160.000.000. against $(4,000,000 In April
and $70,000,000 In March. We do not
believe that this is due to condition
In the money market because both
time and call money have, as a matter
of fact shown an easier tendency; nor
do we think It can be attributed to the
heavy financing which has been done
this year.
Our Judgment Is that the decline Is
due In large measure to the decreasing
demand for bonda which yield a low
return. This la best Illustrated by the
results of the recent offering of $6S.
000.000 New York City 4s. The ap
plications for this Issue amounted to
$J6. 000.000, at an average price of
100.7S. while for the last New York
City Issue, which waa for Ie0.000.000.
application were received for $32G.
000.000. at an average price of 100. 0.
In other words, the lasue recently of
fered was made at a lower price and
with a smaller total application.
"On the other hand, there haa been a
steady demand for the class of bonds
to which we have been calling atten
tion for month past that Is, sea
soned bonds of public utility and In
dustrial -corporations, where the mar
gin of safety Is large and the yield Is
In the neighborhood of t per' cent or
better. - For this character of bond
there ha been a good demand, aa we
have Just stated, and unless something
unexpected should upset all calcula
tions, our judgment Is that the demand
will Increase rather than diminish.
"The labor situation continues to be
an harraeslng question, not only In this
country, but also In England, where, the
fever of discontent haa broken out once
more. With commodity prices In some
cases ss high as at any time since the
Civil War, It Is perhaps natural that
labor should seek to recoup itself, oui
If we are continually to Increase labor
costs, we must either make up our
minds that price of commodities, in
which the cost of labor enters to any
large extent must also continue to ad
vance, or else capital win n - -satisfied
with a smaller return. What
the result will be It Is difficult to lore-
cast but If every time a isDor qutr
tlon Is arbitrated It aimpiy meana rui-
tratlng wages upward. It Is difficult t
escape the conclusion that, unless some
other eolutlon present itself, capital
win vield a lower rata or income, in
that event bond whoe rate of Inter
est have been fixd should logically prove
good Investments.

"WORLD'S COMMERCE TO CENTER ON
PACIFIC COAST COL. PAT DONAN
la His Predictions of WesVi Great Growth, Late Portland Writer Made Accurate Prophecy of City's Increase
in Population.
WHEN the late Colonel Tat Donan,
than whom there were few
more- entertaining writers and
none better versed In Industrial and
traffic conditions on the Pacific Coast
told the Salt Lake Tribune 12 years
ago that Portland's strategic position
would make this city the metropolis of
tho American Occident, he made some
prediction relative to the Increase In
Portland's population that have liter
ally "come true"
Colonel Donan always pointed out
that Portland was the natural gate
way between the Kast and the Orient
and that trade and travel would ever
follow along water level a long as
that route would continue the easiest
and cheapest. He declared that be
cause the Columbia River waa the only
great stream between British America
and Mexico that penetrated the moun
tain barriers between the Rockies and
tha Coast. It would eventually become
the greatest shipping avenue, outside
of the Mississippi River, In North
America. That was one of the main
reasons why he believed that Portland
would become one of the great cities
of the worfu.
It was IS year ago. In 1800, that bo
said Portland would have a population
of about 200.000. According to the
census the city had a population of
207.214. or about 700 above Colonel
Ponan's estimated figures. In the year
he made his estimates of thai city's fu
ture growth the population of Port
land was only 0,42t, but he was so
convinced of the sure future of the
city that he believed he was conserva
tive In estimating that the population
would more than double in ten years.
Basing his calculation on the general
growth of Portland'a producing terri
tory for the 20 years previous, he was
of the firm opinion that the city would
grow to a population of 600,000 In
1920. With Portland'a estimated pop
ulation about 250,000 at the present
time, and with the Immense Immigra
tion that la bound to come within the
next eight yeara. It Is predicted by
many' that Portland will have 600,000
people before the next census Is com
pleted. At any rate, there are about
150.000 persons In Portland today who
hope to see Colonel Ponan's Judgment
vindicated in" 1920 as It was In 1900.
For several years Colonel Donan was
connected with the publicity depart
ment of the old O. R. A N., under W. H.
Hurlburt who, until a few years ago,
was general passenger agent of the
road. A clipping from the Salt Lake
Tribune, dated August 21. 1900, con

Poetic Justice hss Just been handed
out to the Canton of Oraubunden of
Kwltserland for the antngonlstla stand
It has taken against motorists In the

but for the first time In Swiss flnsn
