Every Phase of Oregon's Progress During 1913 Will Be Chronicled in This Big Special Number to Be Published January 1,1914 THE OREGONIAN has never issued a more complete review of the year than the number that will appear on January 1 Every field of activity in Portland and Oregon will be the theme of an interesting article. The scope of the edition is so broad that it would be impossible here to call attention to its numerous features One entire section will center about the. Columbia Eiver, shipping and kindred topics. With 40-foot water the Columbia bar assured for the early future, with Portland's shipping growing now and the city preparing for the inor5 ness to come through the Panama Canal, and with the Celilo Canal soon to give an open waterway to the Jnland Empire, this subject is of the greatest interest. All other topics will be treated adequately and with strict adherence to . facts. THE picturial features of the Annual will attract wide attention. Especially notable is .a 16-page section devoted exclusively to views of Portland. The drawing of the city's business section, which occupies two pages in this section, surpasses any similar illustration that has been published. The high viewpoint chosen makes it possible to show every building in the down-town district. More than 40 blocks, built up solidly with substantial structures, -among which the skvscraper prevails, are included in this splendid picture of the metropolis. Seven" full-page pic tures of the principal buildings erected in Portland in 1913 are also, printed. Other pages contain business buildings and other structures grouped in a new way and reflecting to advantage the results of the great construction movement. Here are some of the contributors you know the names on this list. Do not miss their articles: SECTION WK PAGES 1 TO 16 SECTION TWO PAGES 1 TO IS VOt. LtlL tot. li 1 1 wo. tm. r-0Tt-AD. OBEOOX.

Business Ilea Declare Bnrdea Beeom Ins Too Heavy and Use of Elec tricity Is of Pnbllc Benefit, The enactment of an ordinance by the City Commissioners, fixing a li cense fee ranging from $3.50 to 160 a year for signs projecting over the sidewalk, has resulted In bringing forth a petition signed by 400 busi ness firms, requesting that the ordi nance be repealed, as they declare it imposes an unjust and onerous burden upon the merchant The petition is addressed to the City Commissioners and was filed yesterday. The license fee established Is a grad uated one. and the range wide enough to take in all manner of signs. Merchants contend that the various burdens now being Imposed by the city, county, state and Federal Gov ernments are becoming a serious mat ter. It Is pointed out that there Is a vocation tax,, a vehicle tax. Income tax. corporation tax, personal tax. area-way tax. and many others, as well as the daily solicitations of funds for civic purposes. The addition of a sign tax. It is contended, will ellml mate many of the more pretentious electric signs which add to the bright ness of the business streets during the night time. i It is understood that a committee of the merchants will call upon the Commissioners when the time comes for consideration of the petition, to I Sheriff Kelsey. of Wheelr County, came to Portland yesterday and ar j rested Conrad Gianx. who has been in Hi.terf bv the Wheeler County grand rnr sellinc- liauor to a minor.-! i Glanx will be taken to Frisstl today I and held to await the action of the Circuit Court I smenu ' : . .... , . 1. h . m aanl hv I One vl inr wcuiiw j i - . . . mAM T.-Kw ; n I Governor est 10 aemsi i on j ... the eo-called moral crusade which was carried on In Wheeler County a few months ago. and that he violated one of the laws which be was commissioned to enforce. if Running For a Car lor sens the grip of your eye glasses if with movement of your head you feel them slipping and sliding, yon will appreciate the greater comfort and security of Shur-on mountings, which hold your glasses in place all the time.
