COAST SCBl'RBS ARE LAl'DED
Western Stales Lead Ka.-t in land
scape Treatment.
"There are on the Pacific Coast many
examples of suburbs that have been
laid out with rare forethought." says
Elmer Grey in a recent number of
Scrlbners Magazine. "The best of
these are residence districts of such
surpassing beauty as to make tt dif
ficult to convey to the unfamiliar mind
an idea of their charm. The difficulty
lies in that words and photographs do
not glTe an adequate Impression. Pho
tographs show partial views of what
should be seen In entirety. Words are
associated too often with the fiction
of the printed page.
'The Hast has been an experimental
station for the West In the matter of
suburb planning, and this Is fortunate,
for It would have been a pity to mar
the beauty of some of the most beauti
ful acenery in the world by tile Intro
duction of roads and houses in a hap
hazard manner. Some of the natural
advantages of the West have been
desecrated, but enough have been ap
preciated and so well treated as to
shine as plowing esmples of what na
ture when combined with Intelligent
art can accomplish.
"In the suburb people desire, above
all else, beauty of surroundings and
they are willing frequently to put up
with considerable Inconvenience in
order to obtain it. They will leave
the apartment-house or small city lot
and travel an hour or more, morning
and evening, in order to live in the
suburb. They will climb hills when
they get there in order to build their
homes where there Is the finest view.
Thev do require comfort, but they must
have beauty also, if at all possible.
"The Far West has realized this fact
and applied it with courage."
OREGON ENJOYS PROSPERITY
"This Is State's Bl?set Year," Pc
rlares A. R. Slauson.
"The year 1912 will be the most
prosperous one In Oregon's history."
said A. B. Slauson. of the Mauson
Craig Company, yesterday. "All over
the I'nited States we have reports of
only fair crops, while in Oregon and
the Northwest the biupest crops ever
grown will be harvested.
"With bumper crops and good prices,
owing fn the demand that will come
from other sections. Oregon farmers
will be wealthier than ever before.
"From a real estate point of view
this means an Increased growth of the
whole state and of every city within
the state. The rich reward of agri-
ultural endeavor rapidly attracts the
poorly paid population of other states.
The overcrowded cities send back their
surplus labor to tile farming communi
ties and the weelthy farmer removes to
the city to educate his children and en
Joy the comforts of society.
The political bugaboo will soon dis.
appear, the insle tax drason will be
done to death at the November elecr
tion and the result will be a new in
llux of Kastern capital and the releas
ing from the bank vaults of many mil
lions now hoarded by over-cautious in
dividuals whose fears cloud their Judg
ment." Three Homes Purchased.
