Xrolomi is tlie name Riven to one
of Oregon's most beautiful Summer
homes the country estate of It. H.
Jenkins, 11 miles southeast of Portland,
in "Washington County. The name is
taken from Sioux Indian lore, meaning
place for an ideal existence," ami
better word could not have been
chosen, ay the home is a rao.H inspir
ing one.
Mr. Jenkins, who is a brother-in-law
of J. C. Ainsworth. in one of the few
men who has expressed substantial ap
preciation of the great possibilities of
fered by Oregon's climate and topogra
phy. The natural beauty of Oregon s
hills, its valleys', its rivers and streams.
ts ftrs and oaks and all of its wild
flowers have been taken advantage of
in laying out the Jenkins country home,
which is to be occupied this Summer,
A visitor enters the 67-acre estate
at the foot of Cooper Mountain and
passes along a beautiful driveway
winding up the mountain side through
a forest of giant firs. After reaching
the top of the mountain he enters an
open field which slopes to the north.
This opening in the woods is to become
a meadow of wild flowers, bordered on
all sides by beautiful trees and shrubs.
The main building, a large residence
with log columns in front and rustic
siding, is situated on the south side
of this wild meadow upon a terrace.
Architecture Suit Environment.
The style of architecture is well
suited to its Oregon environment. The
main lines of the house are all hori
zontal, which causes the building to
appear nestled down upon a moxtntain
side, all of which is pleasing and home
like. From the broad veranda one com
mands a view of deep interest, one both
restful and inspiring.
To the east one beholds Mount Hood
standing guard in silent splendor; to
the far northeast, beyond the Colum
bia, one sees the majestic Mount St
Helens holding her head aloft to the
clouds; to the north and to the west.
across the spreading Tualatin Valley
one looks upon the coast range, which
is ever changing in color and grandeur.
Conveniences Are Modern.
The estate has all the modern con
veniences of the city, combined with
the best features of the country. Some
of the buildings besides the main resi
dences are the servants quarter, power
plant, the greenhouse, stables and pad
dock for Mr. Jenkins fine horses. Other
features of special interest are the ex
tensive flower gardens, the bridal and
foot paths in the forest, the tea-room
rock gardens and pools, as well as
many other features.
The landscape architect employed to
develop the estate is H. K. Burdette, a
Western man, who is well acquainted
with Oregon's natural conditions.
Approximately $70,000 Is being spent
on the entire development of the prop
erty, including the residence and sup
plementary buildings, the landscaping,
paths and roads. The entire programme
will perhaps not be completed short
of two years.
NEW CLUBHOUSE UNIQUE
BEAIT1PI L GROVE . Sl'RROl'XDS
10,000 B11LD1XG.
Provision Is Made for Every Comfort
of Players and Some Kvrn Are to
Spend Summer on Course.
The new $10,000 clubhouse of the
Portland Golf Club, now under con
struction, is in a grove of beautiful
fir trees and the architect. Kolger
Johnson, has designed a building that
will use to the fullest ex tent the
beauty of its surroundings. The build
ing will be finished in cream, with
brown trimmings and a. rose-colored
roof. The interior decorations will be
Elizabethan in style.
Entrance to the clubhouse will be
through a porte coehere on the west
side of the building into a hallway
from which access will be had to the
coatrooms, the living-room, the ladles'
locker-room and stairways to the sec
ond floor and the basement. The base
ment, which really becomes the first
floor on the east, will be devoted ex
clusively to the use of men. Here are
the . men's showers and lockers, and
a comfortable buffet (Oregon model).
A covered porch will be at the east of
the locker-room and buffet, which will
be a favorite lounging place during
the Summer. Meals will be served on
this porch, as well as in the buffet,
during pleasant weather..
The main floor contains, in addi
tion to the women's locker-room,
large living-room, which adjoins the
dining-room. By an arrangement of
folding doors it will be possible to
make one large room of the living
and dining-rooms so that ample space
may be had for large dancing parties.
A wide porch surrounds the mala lioor
"LOLOJU," HMMER HOME OP R. II. JKK1S.
on the north, east and west. It is pro
posed to glass 1n the north end of the
porch and use it for part of the dining
room. French windows open on the porch
from both the living-room and the
dining-room, so that in pleasant
weather practically the whole maiik
floor can be used as a porch. Spe
cial attention has been given to the
location and arrangement of the
kiehen. It is expected that during the
hummer the members will" find that
the new clubhouse is an attractive
place for dinner after an automobile
drive out over Council Crest.
The quarters for the club employes
are on the second floor, which is also
to be made into a dormitory for men
who may desire to live at the club
during the Summer. Several members
have already made applications for
quarters.
The needs of women golfers have
received much attention. Their locker
room will be light and airy and will
have a separate entrance, so that they
will not have to go through the club
house to reath the links.

'Kver Eince our first Hope Festival.
10 years ago," tays Oliver K. Jeffery.
president of the Oregon Home Build
ers, "I have watched its effect on the
Portland people from the viewpoints
of a home owner and builder of homes.
I am convinced lhat this annual af
fair is one of the most practical events
ever undertaken by any city. It seems
lhat these festivals carry a message to
the outsido world that Oresonlans are
not the staid, matter-of-fact oeoole
they are repquted to be that out here
n our glorious est the sunshine and
xiowers means a part 01 our dally lives
and that the pictures of happy children
ana prima parents Indicate in no uncer
tain measure the healthf ulness of our
climate.
"People with means are the class at
tracted by these messages. They come
at first to enjoy with us this and other
events. They like it here meet new
acquaintances which develop and grow
into irienasnips. The vast undevel
oped resources of our city and state
appeal to their desire for investment
and where a man invests his monev he
is apt to want 10 spena tils time and
to call Portland 'home.' Once settled
in Oregon their means will enable our
existing industries to enlist the addi
tional capital to put them in a world
competing market with their products.
This increased production means more
workmen, more homes, more schools.
and It means that Portland is destined
to become the leading city of the P;i
cific Coast.
In our efforts to promote our busi
ness affairs let us not forget that mak
ing our city attractive is one of our
fundamental means of making business
better that is why I say that the Rose
Festival Is Portland's primary aBSet
and attraction."

Assessor of Multnomah County.
Corner values make the blggeat
problem in the assessment of city real
estate. Where land is met by the in
tersection of two trees it is said to
come to a corner and the additional
value it receives Is termed corner In
fluence. It presents three elements of
value over an Inside lot. These are, in
the words of the author of the Llnd-sev-Bernard
rule:
First Light and ventilation. In thatJ
it has the elements of ta sixe. pius
the width of the side street as side
lot. Therefore, from the viewpoint of
light and ventilation, the corner in the
equivalent of itself plus the width of
the side street.
-Second Access, in that it Is contig
uous to the main i-treet and the bide
street, and from the viewpoint of ac
cess is the equivalent of an inside lot
on the main t-treet plus an inside lot
on the side street.
Availability R a lives Value.
Third Availability or site location,
in that It may be improved In such a
way as to preserve the individuality of
the structure and thus reap the full
benefit of its zone of value.
There are a number of authorities
on corner influence. each of whom
maintains his position as if the whole
scheme of assessment r.nd taxation de
pended on it. Men whoso Judgment Is
considered pood assert thst corner In
fluence does not extend beyond a per
manent structure erected on the cor
ner, even though that structure be only
23 feet wide.
Generally speaking corner Influence
extends loo feet in each direction from
the corner. It Is governed by the use
to whirh the property Is put. being
highest in tlrst-elass retail districts
ami lowest in outlying suburbnn dis
tricts. Some Inrreaite 51 Per Cent.
Tt goes without saying tbat the
greatest increase due to corner In
fluence 1 9 at the intersection of streets
of equal value. From this high point
it grades lown until one of the inter
secting streets may be regarded as
giving the corner no Increment in ex
cess of t he value of an easement of
llrht and air.
In Portland where two streets of
equal value come together, for exam
ple, where the unit foot values are
$1000 on each street, the increase for
the corner as a whole is 61 per cent.
Where a street with a $500 unit comes
Into a street with a $1000 unit the in
crease for the corner Is 22 per cent
Students of corner values insist that
the extent of corner influence and the
ratio of increase due to the intersec
tion of streets should be determined In
view of the conditions existing In a
particular city, from the best evidence
obtainable.
Sj ateirt, Not Guess Work. Is Aim.
As in the case of the curve for In
side lots, they lay stress on the point
that basic tables or scales should be
prepared, published, tested out by ex
perienee and sd opted by tax depart
mentj and real estate men. The aim
in regard to corners, as In regard to all
other departments of assessment, is to
eliminate guess work in computing
values and to introduce system.
There are a great many sources of
information open to the Assessor in
, determining the value of real estate.
Singly or collectively they have certain
worth, but no one Is conclusive, except
that perhaps two minds have agreed
on a given point. They are like con
flicting testimony In a trial, from which
the Jury must unravel the truth
Sales Record A .
In Portland we are keeping a perma
nent record of sales as representing
cash value, of leases as Indicating
value based on capitalization of rental.
and of mortgages as representing what
value the lender puts on the security
which he accepts. In a year or so we
hatl be able to record and weigh about
15,000 such transactions per annum.

had lived to be 111 years old, and
narrates the story of a man who
KB of the old classical writers
who gave as the reason for his long
life, that he had never eaten at a
banquet, or at a late supper with a
crowd of many persona. A New Eng
land sea-faring man. who was living
at 104, gave as his reason for longevity
the fact that he had at his dinner daily
eaten a red herring.
Senator Depew. In comparing these
Individuals and the causes of length
ened years, said he preferred the
American plan. That the sailor un
doubtedly ate In the company of oth
ers, and that there must have come
with the herrings a thiibt which had
to be quenched, among convivial com
panions. If there is any class of people who
ought to dine in a happy state of
mind. It should be those of the pro
fession which makes living comfort
able and dying contented. Thoe who
make possible for the man who Is
financially harassed, to have a sense
of comfort In knowing that In time a
responsible corporation will return a
comfortable competency to him In real
cash; or, dying, that his family may
have even easier times than though
he were alive.
Pro feast on a Are Con pa red.
The man who amputates a limb to
save the life of the owner, causes pain
that relief from other dangers may
abate. The man who seeks to save
your Immortal soul, as he discusses re
ligion, is much of a passing nuisance.
The man who fights want and care
and poverty and misery in the widow
and orphan, by crowding insurance on
the bread-winner of the family, or who,
through his persistence with a pros
pect, forces a man to provide himself
through an annuity or endowment
policy with comfort In his declining
years, is more often, when writing the
insurance, looked upon as a man of
trouble rather than a man full of good
works. In each case, however, know
ing that the outcome Is beneficent,
doctor, preacher and underwriter, with
the utmost pains, persists In his duty
to the lasting benefit of his client -nd
beneficiary.
hen In later moments the surgical
ly relieved Individual works at his vo
cation, he rarely raises his voice In
favor of the physician who made life
possible for him. although he may laud
his own Judgment In losing a limb to
save his own life.
St. Peter. I think, rarely hears the
name of the preacher, when the saved
sinner seeks his seat Inside the pearly
gates. So the life insurance agent
must not feel disappointed, when at
the time of death of his client, to hear
the neighbors commend only the wis
dom of the late departed, in so well
providing his family from want by life
insurance.

a successful life underwriter pays for
success. In season and out of season
principally out of seaeon must his ef

on the line.
And there are notes, and extensions,
and shifttngs here and there, and the
inculcation of new courage and of. a
fuller appreciation of the morality In
providing for those dependent upon us.
and divers and sundry other liberties,
you gentlemen have to take with the
man who happens ss he often thinks,
unfortunately to sit in convenient or
inconvenient proximity to you.
No money Is quite as useful, whether
It comes to 'the living risk or his de
scendants end his widow, as Is that
from life insurance. It comes from
neither trade, nor sale of cherished
property, nor Invested funds In the or
dinary sense. It comes in a way and,
speaking somewhat loosely, from out
side of the estate. In case of death,
it is ready money at hand for the Im
mediate wants of those who beforo
have been dally provided for by the
departed.
It ia quite true that a, man may
strain and save and be compelled to
finesse himself financially In ordor to
provide by life insurance for someone
who may die or otherwise pass from
the sone of the assured before a pol
icy may mature. I have had a good
many premiums to meet, and seldom
found myself quite able to meet av pre
mium in comfort when due. But I
hare always noticed that the man who
Is not taking out Insurance is spending
for other forms of pleasure.
Beneflt-i Are "Pointed Ost.
T call It pleasure to b pinched to
pay a life-insurance premium. Yon
love what costs you something. And
you love your wife and your children
more If you are under some strain to
provide for them after you shall be
gone, and when you h&11 be able no
longer to enjoy their company, and
the friendship of their communion. And
the life Insurance agent who forces
more insurance upon the husband and
father. within reason, is thereby
bringing more happiness into the world
while the bread-winner Is still alive,
although this insurance may make
quite a burden upon the assured.
This very pressure which "The Mis
sionary of Comfort" has helped plac
upon the assured, reminds the assured
often of the fact, so ca relessly con
sidered by most of us, that death la
sure to come, and with it our respon
sibility to our families, in what Is to
occur, will increase rather than abate.
Who among us. when going through,
a financial panic, general or individ
ual, has not leaned upon his insurance
policies? Who has not. when the
financial skies have been the darkest,
said to himself at the cloFe of day.
as he has left the unsolved f inancia I
problems of his business or the lack
of business and lain down :it night
to sleep, beckoned leep and rent from
conditions too serious to rolve, by
paying to himself. "Oh, well! If I. who
only can solve these problems after
months of effort, shall, before they

mamma and the kid well cared for
with my insurance.' What a comfort
