"While the fourth annual conven tion of the Interstate Realty associa tion, which will be held in Spokane July 15. 16 and 17, is to be devoted primarily to the interchange of ideas and experiences that will tend to in crease the efficiency of all of us in about one-half mile east from the in tersection of Sandy and Columbia boulevards and lies to the north of the highway, extending almost to the Columbia river. The land has been subdivided into tracts one-half to ten acres in size, with streets 60 feet in width pro vided. The freight line of the Oregon-Washington railway system cuts the property and wide streets are provided, as well as rights-of-way at several points, for possible indus trial development which may come at that point later On. The land is most ly cleared, although a considerable portion is lightly wooded with oak and Cottonwood. In order to provide room for the expansion of its business the realty department of the J. L. Hartman company moved last week from room '7 on the first floor of the Cham ber of Commerce building to room 8 in the same building, located near the center of the. building on the first floor and opening directly Into the hall. By a coincidence this room was the quarters of the real estate department when the first Parkrose tract was platted and placed on the market over ten years ago. Shortly afterward, however, the department was moved back to roorfi 7, which it has occupied since. The suburban office of the company at the end of the Parkrose car line has also been opened in order that prospective pur chasers may have, better service at the property itself. A. H. Hickman and C. L. Wilson, who are in charge of the city and sub urban acreage transactions for the J L. Hartman company, and Sam Hewey, head of the farm department, will all be located in the new quarters.

A few of the larger ones are Chicago (elevated; population 2,547,- 000), St. Louis. Mo., had 8 cents but now has 7 cents,- Kansas City, Mo. (population 305,000), Toungstown, O. (population 112,000). Manchester (population 79.000), Wilkes Barre (population 78.000), and Portland, Or. (population 258,000). There are 26 cities which have 7 cents and a 1-centR charge for trans fers. A few of the leading ones are: Newark, N. J. (population 418,000), Jersey City, N. J. (populaton 312.000), Paterson, N. J. (population 140,000), Camden, N. J. (population 108.000), Elizabeth, N. J.

There are 129 cities In the United States with 7-cent fare. A few of these are: Baltimore, Aid. (population 594.000), Buffalo, N. Y. (population 475,000), Milwaukee, Wis. (population 445.000).

(population 128,000), Nashville, Tenn. (population 118,000), Tacoma, Wash, (population 117,000). - Zone System Adopted in Place. The cities of Rhode Island and Con necticut ' have the zone system of fares. Providence, R. I. (population 259,000), has 6-cent zones. The first zone is two miles, the second is 1 miles. A charge of 2 cents is made for a transfer. at the present time. It seeme that the zone plan of fares does not save a utility operating under such system from bankruptcy. Low zone fares are as disastrous as low flat fares. It appears that there Is no system of fares which will do away with the necessity of a . rate- sufficient In amount to pay the expenses of opera tion. Results Prove Discouraging. . By the order of the public service commission of New Jersey a zone system was tried in that state. The fare through the first zone was 3 cents with a 2-cent additional charge for the subsequent zones entered. The public service commission of New Jersey had high hopes that a Just system of fares had been found, 'be cause the zone system is used nearly exclusively in England and Scotland and on the continent and it is suc- .,,-il : v. .... t . . . , also and' i. popuTar Jn th. cities of ! uestin '""eased rates public and the increased cost, the public service railways of New Jer sey was compelled to make an appli cation to the public service" commis sion of -that state to discontinue the zone system and to return to the flat rate system. Afterwards the com mission granted the application of the company and put into effect a flat rate of 7 cents with a 1-cent charge . for transfers. The public service railways serves nearly all of the cities of eastern New Jersey, The question of a zone system of fares has been under discussion in several cities, .but the experience of this utility in New Jersey has de terred many public service - commis sions from making the change. The New Jersey company took special pains for several months to adver tise and explain to the public prior to the change all the details of the plan. But it seemed to make no dif ference and the result was that the public service commission of that state ordered a raise in the flat rate from S cents to 7 cents with a 1-cent charge for transfers. The people who use the care must co-operate with the companies in the collection of fares or it will be nearly impossible to use a zone system.

July 10. (Spe cial.) Olympia underwent a period of rapid development during the spring of 1320, and during June two struc tures, among the most handsome of the kind in this part of Washington, were brought to completion. The buildings are" the new Hotel Olym pian, erected at a cost of $325,000, and the new lodge hall of Olympia lodge No. 186, Benevolent and Pro tective Order of Elks, costing- over 1100.000. The new hotel, which has been built by funds "subscribed by the citizens of Olympia under a stock company arrangement, will be formally opened on July 15. With the opening of the. hotel, Olympia will be able to offer to state senators and repre sentatives and to the other hosts of notable visitors coming to the city a hotel imposing in structure and modern in every way. ' Structure of Concrete. ' Located at the corner of Sixth and Washington streets, diagonally across from the statehouse, the hotel occu pies a site 120x120 feet, with en trances on both streets. The main entrance is on Sixth street facing the park. The structure is of rein forced concrete, six stories high. The enclosing walls are of brick and ollow tile. On the street sides the alls are of select light-face brick. trimmed with terra cotta. On the first floor and mezzanine floor will be spacious lobbies, rest rooms, ' writing rooms and dining rooms. The four floors above the ezzanine will contain 35 guest rooms each,. 17 of which on each floor will e furnished with private bath. In 11, the hotel provides 155 rooms, 75 equipped with bath, &nd eight large sample rooms In the basement. Elks Temple Dedicated. Dedication of the new home of the Olympia lodge of Elks took place on Saturday, June 26. and several thousand members of the order from many points in western Washington were on hand. The new building oc cupies an admirable site on Main treet, facing the present capitol uilding . and overlooking Capitol ark.- It is three stories high and covers a ground space of 60x120 feet. n construction, brick and concrete have been used, the front being fin ished with face brick and terra cotta. The first floor is occupied by library, reading and lounging rooms. billiard and card rooms and buffet. the basement are found bowling alleys, handball and basketball courts and shower baths.

It Is regarded in those countries as a fair system, because each passenger pays according to the distance traveled. But the results in New Jersey were very discourag ing. The ship workers at Camden and Glouchester, N. J., tore down the car doors and side wire screens and bolted from the cars prior to payment of a fare. The zone plan provided for payment as you leave the car instead of payment as you enter. Upon entry the passenger was given a zone check by the tnotorman and upon leaving he paid according to the number of zones he had passed through or entered. The citizens, also, in order to reg ister their objection to the zone sys tem, piled obstructions on the tracks causing wrecks and seriously endan gering the lives of the passengers. These disturbances were kept up and the ship workers at Camden re fused to pay any fares at all. The cars were for a part of the time dis continued. The fares at Camden were, as a rule, lower under the zone system than under the flat rate, yet all the people as a unit were against the change to increased fares to the outlying points. The public refused to patronize the cars and resorted to steam trains and jitneys. The ODDOsltion became so strong that an application was made to thel Pawtucket. R. j ! governor of the state to remove-the (population 60.000), has . the same system . as Providence. The Connecticut system provides a fare of 6 cents for a ride through two zones. A zone here is approxi mately Vz miles from the center. Free transfers are provided for a ride of four-fifths of a mile. A few of the cities using this system are New Haven. Conn. (population 152,000), Bridgeport, Conn, (population - 124, 000). Hartford, Conn, (population 112,000), Waterbury (population 89, 000). The '.Rhode Island company has been in bankruptcy since January 30, 1919. The Connecticut company is solvent members of the public service -com mission who had established the plan. Business Slows Down. These troubles, together with the difficulties in collecting fares for the different zones, slowed down the company's service 10 per cent. The loss alone from slowing down the service, was estimated by the com pany officials to be 600.000 per year. The increased cost because of in creased checking and accounting, was estimated at $200,000 per year. It was thus estimated that the in creased cost due to the use of the zone system was nearly a million dol lars a year.

A-iHiiman company, which has re cently put the new acreage tracts upo.i the market, and much of the property is being purchased by people who are already residents in that neighborhood or own property there. Nearly- one-quarter of the tracts in the plot had already been tentatively sola by tne time the plot was ap proved by the city commission last week and contracts are now being closed. The original Parkrose purchase contained 720 acres, and of this about one-half, comprising that portion south of the Columbia highway and upon high ground, was platted in lull and has been largely sold.

"A wise man changes frequently a fool never." Mistakes are but stepping-stones to success, if you profit by them. A patient said to me one day that she had always been taught by her dentist to associate "advertising" with dishonesty and incom petence, but, because she was anxious to have her dental work done as painlessly as possible and had been reading my advertising; she had come to the conclusion "that I was different from the ordinary advertising dentist." For the benefit of others with minds similarly poisoned (by selfish interests), I want to say that I will personally vouch for the statement that the average advertising dentist will compare in morals, skill, ability and honesty with the average "ethical" dentist. I do not feel called upon to defend the Profession myself, nor do I wish people to hold the impression that I am "different" from my fellow dentists, whether advertisers or non-advertisers but I do want to ask people who are in much the same frame of mind as the lady quoted above these questions: What did you have to pay for a good set of teeth before the keen, competition of the "advertising" dentist brought prices down? What did you pay for so-called "painless extractions" and were they really "painless"? How many visits were necessary and how long did it take to have a gold crown made and placed on your tooth and, incidentally, how much did it cost? Have courage to change TELL YOUR FRIENDS how I treated YOU, what I saved YOU whether "it hurt" when your teeth were extracted here, and show by your actions that you approve of square dealing.

MOUNT ANGEL. Or., July 10. (Spe cial.) Construction work on the new $125,000 public school building for Mount Angel, which promises to be one of the finest school buildings in that section of Oregon, Is being rushed and the structure is expected to be ready for the pupils when the fall term opens in September. The laying of the cornerstone for the structure proved a great event for Mount Angel and was made the occasion of a holiday for schools, offices and business in general. A large share of the credit for the erection of the building is given Father Dominlck. for many years pastor of the Catholic church In this city. The burden of the work, finan cial and otherwise, will be borne by tne citizens or Mount Angel. Practi cally all the money required to com plete the structure had already been donated or subscribed.

SALVAGERS SEARCH SHIP Attempts Being Made to Recover Gold From Cruiser Laurcntic. LONDONDERRY. Eng. Efforts will be resumed this summer to re cover the 4.000.000 of gold still ly ing in the wreck of the British aux iliary cruiser Laurentic. which was sunk by a mine off the mouth of Lough Swilly in January, 1917, while on her way to New York. The bullion is in bars each of which is worth 1200. Altogether the Laurentic car ried about 7.000,000 in gold when sunk. It is estimated that 'about 3,000,000 since has been recovered. Up to now the weather has been unfavorable and as the wreck lies in an exposed position, the salvage work can be done only in the finest weather. It is expected that some blasting will be necessary to get at the compartments in which the gold was carried. The work is being done by the Racer, a salvage ship.
