Council Crest Park has been famed for year, as a acenlo viewpoint. Trav elers from all over the world have vis ited this spot, many placing the scene viewed ifrora it as far and beyond all other view, for magnificence of scenic panorama and natural beauty of sur roundings.' 1- . No man can foretell the future of this district but the wonderful opportunities offered to orosnectlve builders for land scaping and scenlo gardening and the natural beauty-of surroundings together with the hlah order of present improve ment, will undoubtedly develop this dis trict into the pride of the city of Port land and the beauty spot of the Fa clflo coast Old. but always In evidence, ia the controversy between landlord, and fam ine, blessed with a houseful of chil dren. Here In Portland the question 1. vehemently argued score-or times every day by prospective tenant, and obdurate, landlords, the one declaring that never again will he allow children In his flats or apartments and the other vowing that his little angel, are in capable' of defacing tb moat superbly finished walls or of scratching or Kn,i.in lha tinndsomeit of furniture.

It's cost me a lot or money, ton. 01 r-orry and some good tenant, to get rid f the children I've had," announced the landlord; "and- I've said to myse)f that I'll nevettake any more." He remembered a,1 morning when he hurried Into a hall to see his gold satin wall panel, covered over with signa tures that were useless upon checks, scarcely decipherable upon picture post cards and yet considered highly orna mental upon brocaded satin a. affording an effective chiaroscuro heretofore lack- never the better for It He recalled with bitterness, missing a Urge Irregular square of costly brocade from a hang.

Land company, which now owns.ancr Is selling the grant lands in southern Oregon, held a similar land opening last August in the Sen Luis valley, Colorado, where 7,000 farms and the same number of lots were dlxtrlbuted. Technically it was an auction, as every contract-holder bid in a rarm ana lot. jsui lie oniy ina me amqunt of his contract price. There were only 22 exceptions In the 7,000 farms auctioned. The exceptions were cases where tracts contained large and valuable Improvements, or where there was some special reaxon for bidding a premium. The premiums so bid were placed In a fund " the trustees and divided around equally as a cash divi dend among all the contract-holders. A good many Portland men and oth ers are taking advantage of the oppor tunity to thus annex a small property holding over in the Lakevlew country and add it to their personal possessions. There Is a fairly good general knowl edge in western Oregon of the fact that the old wagon road builders went miles out ot their way to run the road through the best agricultural val leys and grazing sections of southern Lake and Harney counties, as the road company took its pay in lands along each side of the highway. Had they laid out the road by a direct route straight across Oregon they would have followed closely the survey of the new main line of the Oregon Eastern from tne jdaineur river to .Eugene. uW owvj w mMtwjw IP But instead, thev turned south, man yi the furniture leagues orr or tne direct route, ana wended ' their way through the seven valleys that are now known as White Horse.

WILL SUB-DIVIDE CARfy HOMESTEAD Leroy H. Smith and Harry E. Wag oner have acquired the old Carr home stead, consisting-of 202 acres about five miles north of Llnnton on- the new United Railway line. It is their inten tion to cut the whole tract up into t ive-aore blocks and put them on the market at an early date. Surveyors are working on the plat now. Thousands of acres along the proposed line through the valley nave been tied up by realty men who are alive to the fact that the new line will create a big demand for acreage. elation of values. Their inquiring minds move them to unscrew, pull dawn .and pry up everything in the way of fixtures, ornaments, gas logs, tiles and parquetry that their Ingenious fln- fers can get at. It never occurs to hem that throwing hard object, at chandelier, and windows will cause anything to break, and they have no superstition whatever about smashing of wall mirrors. They don't have to live dpwn the seven years hoodoo. "Along with the bump of destruotive ness there exists- In them a well de veloped passion for making a nolne. Some apartment houses are built with 'deadened' brick, in walls and under floors to render them Impervious to sound. Builders had In mind pianos and family Jars, kitchen scraps and such things. Nothing renders the racket of hearty children impenetrable. Actually, to Judge from sounds proceed ing from places where they were romping- you'd think the children were rlp- mg up ine noors, mrowing arouna he furniture and .winging from the chandeliers.

A whole, family precipitated themselves into the elevator to escape from their anartment under the roof. declaring that a tornado was ripping off the - iron sheeting and scattering around the slates and chimneys. The Janitor ventured to the scene of the disturbance and reported that all the children in the house were on the roof with a dog teaching- him to iumn as high as they themsels could. . Childless tenants assert that If chil dren could be kept out of the halls and their noise confined to their own do main. Ufa might be endurable. Parents say these cavillers are heartless. At all events the liberty of the halls Is seldom denied to children. On a rain' day they make a sort of endless chain on the staircase and scurry from floor to floor when they hear pursuing hall attendants coming to stop their noisv ' play. Sometimes they make friends with these hallboys, .and then the en trance hall is selected for romps, with an -occasional dash out into the rain.
