Isaaed Kvery Tharnday BY LONG McKIMNET ' Portland is a magnificent citj. and it owes its commercial auprt m acy to a magnificent country and ila unequalled monroea. Bat- Portland today should be a bigger and a better town, and it would be a bigger and better town had its capitalists emerged some years ago from an nltra-conserratiem that has driven bnsineas to other Pacific Coast points. " Big bank deposits are all very well in their way and they look nice when inviting foreign capital into the section but these earn deposits put into development would mean more business, more people, mora devel oped resources, and a foundation for a future commercial greatness that can not be undermined. If Portland's millionaires are afraid of using their money to exploit the possibilities of the Northwest con tiguous to Portland, how, in the name of all that is reasonable, can foreign capital expect to be other than timid whan asked to nnwind itself in behalf of our progress? For years the Kehalem and Tillamook timber fields have been a huge in terrogalion point, pleading for busi ness, without railroad oommunics tion, and without capital to get her products and resources into a mar ket that is unlimited. Southern Oregon trade has been diverted to San Francisco; Tillamook trade has mostly gone to the Bay' city; and there are hundreds of others, in common with Southeastern Oregon, doing their trading elsewhere be cause Portland, with her banks full of money, has waited for neighbors to come and develop the section that should be feeding and making that city the greatest of all coast cities. Portland must awaken from her Rip Van Winkle sleep if she wants the right Bort of progress.

Her Jays were passed behind a counter where a variety of neckwear waa displayed. The remuneration was auiall and nerved only to provide her with a "homo" and the simplest of gowns. The watch for which her soul hungered wight hare been the moon or the Roc's egg. But more trying than the prlvatiooa alio endured waa the cheapness, the narrowness ot her life, ao different from the gentle sur roundings of her girlhood. It waa her birthday, her eighteenth rear, and Sunday -a dry free from the stale walker's esplouage, a happy com bination which Myra enjoyed to the full. A Ion- afternoon tu the crisp, cool air ot the park waa a happy eU- ax. It waa turnlug dusk aa she left the park. The ctty lamps already ahooe In a long line down the avenue. On the aide streets the shadows fell black and ugly, causing a few building to stand out In bold relief. Suddenly a Bash from a passing automobile struck S small, round object that glittered near the curbing. Myra bent over to pick It up. Had some beneiicent fairy godmother thrown the gift at her feet? It was a watch, and on her birthday! She seised It rapturously and, lookfuf nelther to the right nor left, tied up the steps of her boarding house, never pausing until she stood In the ball room she railed her home. She lighted the gaa and drew down the abide, then breathlessly examined her new bund treasure. The small bunting rase was of gold, with do mark to identify It, and set in diamonds. Ton little beauty." whispered the girl as she caressed It with her Augers. Then, with woman's curiosity, she tried to open the back. It was difficult, but at last Myra gusped with surprise. The fare of a young man, with honest eyes and kindly mouth, looked Into her own. "I wonder If he owns the watch?" She thought, "No, It's a woman's trln- TOM BAD PRESEXTTD MTBA WITH A OOU WATCH. ket. He must bare given It to the girl and If ao he" Myra abruptly closed the case. But she could not shut out the face from her mental Tlsion. She passed ber evening rocking slow ly In her chair, with a magazine be tween her fingers, the gentle ticking of the watch counting the passing hours. That night she dreamed not of the watch, but of s life which the watch typified, and through the dream stalked a man whose face was the face In the watch. She awoke a little after 6 to revel In the delight of knowing the exact hour and tnrnlng luxuriously over for another fifteen minutes. All day she thought about ber won derful acquisition and smiled happily to herself. The other girls noticed It and twitted her In their good natured If rather coarse way. Myra laughed, but guarded ber secret and hurried borne to pass another evening of de lightful possession. Three days passed, and, though the watch itself was a never falling source of delight, as tbs actual realization of ber dreams it was the picture that crept Into ber heart She told ber secrets to those honest eyes and caned him "dear friend." He seemed Somehow to understand ber every whim. . "The whole world could trust you, snd I'd trust yon absolutely," she told him one nlgbt very softly. "The other girl trusts yon too? The other girl! How sorry she must be to lose your pleturer Then suddenly, without any warning, Myra awoke to the truth. The watch, the picture, were not hers! She bad no right to keep them, gbe turned to tbs Window and looked drearily out over the roofs of bouses. "I never thought of it, not once. They're not mine. Tbey are hers. Hers, tod I kept them. It's the same as Stealing. I never thought." That noon she spent half an hour running over newspaper files In the library, fine found the description In the "Lost and Found" column and Biade note ot the address with eyes frown Bilsty. She put off the evil day until Sunday snd decided to enjoy to the full ber last day of the fairy gift which was to vanish so soon. She slipped a narrow black ribbon on the watch and reck- ketMly wore it all day. She did not dare to look at It or exhibit It to the girts, bat the knowledge that it was ' ticking steadily In ber belt brought ?mfort. "Can I see the lady the one who lost ber watch?" she ssked, and sue luxurious aptMilntmeuts. "There was a log Are In the grate, with eomforraM lounging chairs and books In .every available space.

She was as beautiful aa any of the women whom Myra served during business hours. The girl laid the watch In the other's hand.

"And 1 had It -all the week. The watch was such Kd company." She did not mention the picture. And to all Mtsa Shepherd's argu ments and entreaties Myra reiterated No." The picture held her firm. She could not take the money for that. In the end she allowed herself to be persuaded to remain until the rain censed anil to drink a cup ot tea. Here's Tom. You must meet hlmr exclaimed her hostess proudly aa the doer swuug ieu and there entered the original of tb photograph. One look from Myra, and tlicu her lashes drooped In embarrassment. The others discussed the watch and Its re covery. At first Myra could ecarvely follow what they said, but they were so kind, so full of luterest about her and her little experiences, that ab soon fouud herself chattlug freely and laughlug at Tom's funny sayiugs; still she rose lu trepldulion to Hud how late It had become. Tom (she had not discovered his oth er name) Insisted that as- his automo bile waa at the door he would ttike her home. 1 Oh, no!" gasped Myra In distress, turning to ber hostess. "I'd rather take a car." "Don't you like motors?" questioned Miss Shepherd kindly. I've I've never tried one," admit ted Myra. "Then that settles It," exclaimed Tom, and Myra found herself hurried to the door, with Miss Shepherd exact Ing a promise that she would route again. 'Yea, do?" urged Tom as they went down the steps. "She really means It. Isn't she Jolly r 'She's very kind. How happy she must be so pretty and such a beauti ful home, and-and you" Myra had not meant to say that at all.
