SAYS PORTLAND NEGLECTS
WORK FOR "CITY BEAUTIFUL"
' By T. A. Apanton. ,
It la In opinion of. the writer that
a greater effort ahould b ' raad to
raak our city mare attractive by mak
ing It mora beautiful. Thar la no
t'lace nor clir hre thara la a letter
foundation for thla work than Port
land. Hera wa have many advan
tage to help auch a work without the
pnne. Incurred . bjr lomi eltlea Th
nd seem to ba greater with our city
government and buslneaa house than
with tha mere home.
; In all tha great eatern cltle there
ran ba heard the cry 'Hlty Beautiful,"
ana at great expense "ini o a laeli
t forealght" These cities are buy.
In valuable property for public
nquurea, boulevard and widening of
e( reola. Take for example K anna a
Oily. What they, have accompjlahed
In a few years. See how they have
turned ash heap into pritt little
narks; how ugly narrow elm-Is have
' ten widened Into beautiful winding
., nouievaras and with thin aplrlt aliov.n
iy the city government now ea-iti and
every aliop owner, larger or emu II, hive
, i awakened to the need to mko tli'ilr
plaoea more attractive. So It la with
all of our older eastern alater oltlee..
If Portland could only realUe'what
thla meana to encourage . newcomer
and what oould be aaved by preparing
Tor sucn wora now error tne property
.required ror aurn improvement oe
come too valuable. If the merchant
and other bualneaa houaea could onjr
realise what It mean to them aa wen
an to the olty to make their. ahop mid
otrtee window attractive a roaliler
I think then there would he no hesl-1
fancy for all to do their utmost tor a
greater "City Beautiful." .
. Jinny. Improvement auch' aa the fol.
lewln- could be done now and will
- vurely be done eom future day -and
probably . at a much greater -expense:
rhe. widening of Waahlngton and Mor-
rlaon streets, tit Improvement of tite
ijr puuvunuiiiff in, ciiy n,ii,
changing Into pretty .lint park her
and there of block now occupied by
old ramnhackl building whloh .. be
bought now ao much cheaper I 'tan two
to rive yeara nence; the imtn i.iiaie im
provement of all t reel ooeuplid ty
carllnea.' Theaa atreeta are the mvtt
ued and llkewlae aeen moat, the exten
alon of the fire line that we may have
more rire proof bulldlnga where the
bunlneaa of the city la extending,
which In five to ten year will he with
in the circle of the city'a great bualneaa
center.
One great need aeen by many visit
or to our city la fire ' proof bulldlnga
where any great number of people
gather,
lei
The world haa had ao many
eaeona along thla line and thla need
la very apparent in Portland. Why
thla city'a theatrea. hall, etc., ahould
and could not he fire proof la a matter
of conjecture to tho who vinlt them
and ae how they are patronised.
Must we learn the awful leaaon over
again? Muat we have no me terrible
catastrophe to awaken ua to th re-
Quire men In or doing tnia workT
The c y I about to undertake the
building of new bridge. May It be
wlae enough to consider beauty when
tne plans or auch are accepted,
Brldgea can be made attractive aa well
as the unaightly kind we now have.
There are many little things which
will help make a city beautiful, amonjr
wnicn la gooa iignung. clean atreeta.
clean cars, removal of tha steam road
from Fourth etreet: th prohibiting o
street vender on the main atreeta a
well as corner lounaera on tha nromi

flow dressing by our store, ete.
It nem to me that th manr com
mercial bodies and clubs for the . ad
vaneement of the city could do no bet

SMALL FARMS COMING
IN WILLAMETTE VALLEY
By W. H. CkapU.
The development of th Willamette
valley is now going forward more rap-
, man ever oeiore in its history.
Jiomeseekers i are pouring in - by the
tramjoao. some .are rinding homes
and soma are not. The general ten
dency is towards small farms, which
means the gradual dividing up of the
'i uunauon iana claims. f it the
tide of immigration continues to flow
Into it during the next five years as
"laneo tnis year, tne Willam
ette valley will be more than doubled
in population ana win be a veritable
paradise. Small farms for dairying;
mall farms for poultry; small farms
for truck gardening; small farms for
fruit growing. More fruit rand veg
etable canneries to encourage the
rrofitable production of those com mod
el es and to turn the trade to export
from Import. . ,
There are several places in th val
ley where canneries can profitably be
located right now. Profitably for the
eannerles and profitably for the farm,-
. .. . Th , Immense quantities of canned
goods imported Into this state should
u reversea to. an equal or greater
amount exported. This would mean
thousand of dollars in the Dockets of
ouf lurmera. ine realty board eome-
ume ago aiscussea the Idea of ten
sere farms for homeseekers. The
scheme Is feasible, but
great deal 'of time from some one to
bring It to a successful Issue. So far

be dons by one, man on a small ayn-
dlcate. --. : .
A ten acre farm is large enough for
any man if he works It right, and if
he doesn't eo work it, it is altogether
too large. The rural free ,iiivarv
and the farmers telephones have done
