In many nlaCe there sre rose bushes planted along the packing of the sidewalks, hence the very apnro prlate title of 'The Rose City,' which has been bestowed upon Portland.

' A MU4, Climate. A mild climate, fertility of soli and beautiful scenery go a long ways toward contributing to the happiness of the human race, but it Is impossible to lay - too much stress upon the healthfull ness of a climate In recommending any certain part of the country as a desir able place for a home. To quote Dr. Esther C. Pohl. the city health officer, "The death rate of the city of Portland for the year 1907 was 8.28 per 1,000 population probably the WORLD S MILITARY BURDENS-Arguments Used Against Upholding Large Standing Armies 0: N'E of the Incidental, and, possibly, one of the most useful results of the second peace conference at ..- tt ,. worldwide attention to the colos- sal burdens Imposed upon the great na- tlons of the earth by the development of their armies and navies.

It is taxing the productive energy of mankind so enor- mously that a continued increase threat- ens worldwide disaster, and even if the present rate of expenditure is main- lowest death rats of any large city In the world. ' The low death rate Is largely due to the wealth and fertility of the country and to its mild and fostering climate. - Here, also, our mild, humid climate and favorable economlo conditions are Influential ,. factors in limiting the spread and modifying; virulence of con tagious diseases. There is no doubt that a rlgoroua climate will Invigorate those who survive they invigorating process, but it will not lower the death rate; and the average man who wishes to live a long time in comfort and the enjoyment of health, would stand a far better chance In a country with a cli mate that Insures fertility, and wher conditions are so favorable that a city of 226,000 shows a mortality of only (.28 per 1,000 population." Nof long ago I heard a tourist dis cussing the 'problem with a fellow health-seeker. He was a victim of chronic dyspepsia, and all Its attending evils end had been traveling a number of years In the vain hope of finding re lief. To use his own language "his guardian angel brought him to Portland, where, for eight months, he had been drinking the purest water he had ever tasted, and with results, which In a by gone period, would have been consid ered miraculous. That was the whole secret the water." And In regard to the recent controversy about changing the name of the stream from whence the supply Is obtained, from Bull Run to something more characteristic of the nature of the water, he said. "If I were one of the city fathers. I would have It Called 'The River of Life' in good plain English. I could certainly think of nothing more appropriate." Physical Beauty.

And now to com to a few of-th hard dry facts told as tersely as possi ble for th benefit of th business mail. ' The Importance of Portland as a har bor is first to be considered. It is a fact that mor wheat and lumber were shipped from Portland last year thar from all the ports of the Pacific coast combined and more lumber than from any harbor In th United States. m To those who recognize , the rutur greatness of the northwest as a whole the future greatness of Portland, as the center of the oriental and Alaska trade is obvious. . The real estate transfers for 1907 were S2S.OS6.789, and for this year hav already reached S7.82O.680. The beauty of the homes and public buildings of this city is already famous. Portland is justly proud of her archi tects and their work and the capitalists have shown their faith In the city by the buildings erected in th past , few years. ' For the year 190. th building per mits Issued amounted to S6. 927, 871, and for 1907 S9.885.796. showing an increase of 30 per cent For the present year - they have already aggregated S3.3S8.850.
