"And behold my. question answered!
Not only do an endless number of good

of It? what would our sisters who are
living In the same latitude on the At

produce- lettuce, green onions, spinach,
radishes and cucumbers for the Christ-"

It Is on th increase every year, how

the ability of Portland to produce any
thing along this line. . ; ;

crowds of people who watched the pa

Call for Flowers.
Each 'citizen responded valiantly to
th call for flowers with which to dec
orate the vehicles and buildings, and
one would' hav thought ; the gardens
would have been left desolate, so great
was the display. But not many days
elapsed bef or th rose bushes had com
pletely recuperated. and once more
.shown In all their -raliant splendor...
- As the Ross Carnival ia now to be
an annuarl event it should be given spe
cial mention.
- It certainly will never hav to be sus
pended on account of a scarcity of
roses, for I do not think there is a yard
in the city which has not a rose bush
tucked away in some corner or another,
and many of them are veritable rose
gardens, which in the season of bloom
are truly- delight to every eye that be
holds them. 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.
There was one yard t noticed partic
ularly last summer because of it pro
fusion of flowers of every description.
Climbing roses and flowering vines of

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

productive energy of mankind so enor-
mously that a continued increase threat-

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

that a rlgoroua climate will Invigorate

to live a long time in comfort and the
enjoyment of health, would stand a far
better chance In a country with a cli

conditions are so favorable that a city
of 226,000 shows a mortality of only

Nof long ago I heard a tourist dis

health-seeker. He was a victim of
chronic dyspepsia, and all Its attending

of years In the vain hope of finding re

where, for eight months, he had been

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

Called 'The River of Life' in good plain

; But It la not necessary to enlarge upon
this subject it has so often been en
thusiastically dealt with- by those Who
have gone bef or me.
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.
Then last, but by no means least, to
say that Swift A Co., the leadera of the
world In the packing Industry, should
have chosen Portland ss the most deslr
affle location qp the Pacific coast for
their packing plant, Is a. tribute to th
city, which needs no word , of explana
tion. - .:' lV - :- -
This plant Is to be erected at a cost
of SS. 600.000 and will give employment
to something like MOO people. The
business will be conducted under the
title of "The Union Meat company," the
well-known packing company of the F-,
clflc coast, so It will be in every re-'
spect identified with the community it
Is assisting along the road of progress.
about 15 per cent and that of Japan
increased nearly 600 per cent. If we
compare the exoendltures of these na
tlons upon their armies with their to
tal expenditures for ill th n vain
ending with 1905, th proportion rose aa
fnllnwa.

Some Conclusions.
It is In connection with ' this' rough
estimate of coat per ' capita that the
economic burden of militarism Is most
appreciable. The lrreaistihi. nnni,..n
from available data Is that tha Increase
of expenditure for army and navy pur
poses Is rapidly surpassing th growth
of population in each of th countries
considered In the present calculation. In
other words a continuation of the In
creased demands of militarism threat
ens each of those nations with a pro
gressive exhaustion both of men and
resources. The load has already be
