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.

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nance be repealed, as they declare it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
