The people of this fair Rose City are enthusiastic student of geography.
The stranger soon finds that while the conversation may begin with tha
weaUbar W the roses, it always ends In geography -It's down hill to Port
land from everywhere." The population ef Portland is 94 per cent purely
American, which is said to bs a higher proportion than any other American
city can show. Another significant peculiarity is that it is maintained almost
; entirely by local capital, there being only three buildings among the 'larger
commercial structures of the entire city that were not built by home money
) While these and other dlstraotive points are always brought out during the
; process of innoculatlng the stranger with admiration' for this ambitious
metropolis, the little lecture on geography Is always the argumentative ace of
