"A number of changes that the peo
ple of Portland may appreciate will b
brought about by the completion of the
many Harnman extension now. project
ed In Oregon. nd the building of the
north bank Una of the Hill roada Into
Portland." Raid a railroad man. "These
roada, tapping vaat tracts of now re
mote hut productive territory, will Pour
Into, the Portland markets a stream of
the state's -products and wealth hereto
fore almost .unknown here. ,, The of
fset will be to lower ths prices of many
products to - local consumers, and i to
suppi y ' tit moans of operating many
moreasblps from this port" .
. M Is said the construction of rail
lines In ths Pad f to northwest now au
thorised for the"om1ng year will prac
tically settle ths mooted question of
steamship navigation for Portland. Ths
great development that will follow oper
ation of 'these lines will almost double
the Importance of Portland as a mar
ket -for field and timber products... The
port will become so overwhelmingly Im
portant as supply station for ths Pa
cific that navigation Interests will be
practically compelled to give attention
to It. ' . ;
The Columbia river basin Is Immense
ly productive. The problem has been to
get the stuff to market. Whole coun
ties. In Oregon have been without rail
transportation. It Is not profitable to
haul by wagon ?5, 60 and 100 miles .to
carry hay,- potatoes, grain, wool, hides,
poultry andj-butter to the nearest rail
road point. The result hum been that
the limited territory having railroad fa
cilities )n this state has been relied
upon to furnish all ths products that
are .consumed here or shipped "to for
eign countries. A constantly sharp" de
mand ior .everything' produced baa kept
local retail prices higher than In Whs
middle states, for many products that
are every day demanded- on the tables
of, the common people. --
The statement has been made many
times by men coming to Portland from
the middle west that cost of living here
ts higher. In proportion to salaries bald,
Ulan In eastern sections of the country
similarly productive.- The question was
been of ton asked: 'If Oregon is so im
mensely productive as reported, why
are not its products more plentiful, and
tower In the retail markets T".
. 'These questions will be answered by
the. completion of rail lines opening up
large productive regions that are bow
practically out of the world so far as
the Portland-' retail ' market is con
cerned," said the railroad official. -A
heavy increase of the supply from the
Interior will have a J tendency to eaas
the market on all kinds of products, in-,
closing potatoes, turnips, onions, .beets,
cabbage, rhubarb, cauliflower, squash,
dried and fresh fruits, hay and grain,''
and products of the dairy and the! poul
try . ranch. These lines will Btsb fur
nish an Immense stimulus to the proj
ect of a large packing fjlant and Stock
yards so long discussed In Portland, as
the livestock of rich sections of the
state now sequestered will be .shipped
direct Into the Portland market. Instead
of being driven on the hoof to eastern
Oregon points and consigned to Chicago
and Kansas City. In many ways Port-:
ladd' and j,tf people will receive direct
benefits by 'the completion of the new
railroads" and 'extensions -promised for.
next year.".: . . 't-.C .; . .- . , ,: ' .

Rapid progrsss is being mad on the
atone and cement work of the east side
high school and ' the largest force 'of
men yet employed on the Job" Is working
under the various contractors. The ce
ment walla for the foundation have
been Completed and the partition walls
in the basement have been built to the
foundstlon level. This week work was
started on the south brick wall and
under the attention of a dosen masons
the wall slowly is going up. Blue sandstone-which
will constitute the facing
of the building, has been placed for the
first story base, and a faint idea of the
final appearance' of the big structure can
be gained. . It will be the only-school
building In the city, of brick and stone
construction, and the most costly public
building on the eaat side., It will also
be one of the best appearing scnooi
bouses on the coast. --.
'A the attention of the east side ts
directed to the school the fact Is dawn
ing on the property-owners at the im
provement district - adjacent - to the
school that material betterments will
haveto be mad in the streets there e
fore the school opens. At present the
block Is surrounded byad streets. .For
half a dosen blocks tua state 01 tne
highways Is .worse than when no Im
provements had been attempted. An
old plank roadway runs past the build
ing sits on the north, this being East
Stark street, and though teamsters
whose teams ; have ! stuck In the mire
have fished out the broken plank and
plied them for two blocks on each stda
of the street, so that nothing more
dangeroue than mud might bar , their
paaaing, the submerged plank keep
working to the surface and remain a
source of danger, to ths few light wag
ona that managf to get safely through
the bog. ' '
East Thirteenth street Is not opened
and East Twelfth street is In wretched
condition, the old bridge having broken
down and the plank roadway having
crumbled.- Workmen of . telephone and
water companies finished the. ruin. Even
the sidewalks have fallen through sheer
bid age and some of these slanting a an
angle of 46 degrees serve as excellent
obstacles "to children playing "follow

MT. TABOR LEVY-LOW p '.'
1 ';..r '
Two and Kalf Xllla Decided On aa
AjuoM :f School Purposes. '
' Mount Tabor school district last ysar
made a levy of t mills when adjoining
districts found It necessary to . raise
funds on a It or Stf-mlll basis, and .this
year the Mount Tabor levy will be 2V
mills. This amount will suffice only
to pay the floating 'debt of more than
11,000 and keep up the school until
the close of the June term, but at that
time the question of annexing the dis
trict will com up and It Is expected
that almost unanimously the residents
will vote-to come in.- r .
Should the district ' come In It wnl
bsve no warrant debts, and no money on
hand, but It will have a bonded In
debtedness of about $16,000. Tne tax
payers In session last night were di
vided as to the levy to be adopted.
Borne favored the recommendation of
the board that t 'mills be assessed,
which would enable the expenses of ths
entire yesr to be met. the salaries of
the teaohers raised, warrants outstand
ing paid and needed repairs to the West
Avenue and Olencoe schools completed.
Others favored a levy Just half the.
amount suggested by ths board, end
still "others favored a levy half way be
tween. - The annexation sentiment being
strong, however. It was decided to make
a levy that would only meet the ex
penses until the- close' of the present
school year. . ' .
