There Is fhe one place where we all take, those who come to see the city. There Is the one place where ' we can show all of . the wonderful scenery of the city in pan orama.

It would be a wonderful sight, something that no other city In the world couia .snow .in. its. visitors. O-rsndsst of Scenery. "All neople love beautiful scenery. It makes the deepest- tiflpreeaioa- en the nuraan mind or anything, wrist mental pictures would Portland visitors carry away with them then,, should they be taken to the top of Council Crest, where standing in the roldst ef a beauti ful bower of Portland roues they could look out on all sides and see such won derful scenery as that spreading out on every side of the big mountain. As an advertisement of the' beauties of the city and as a source-of civic pride it could not be equalled in any other city of the world. "I think that all artificial things should be cleared off the Crest, that It should be made as near to nature as possible, snd maintained as a bower of bloom and a place of beautv for the advertisement of the 'City, the wonder or visitors ana tne pleasure or the peo- File of Portland. If I can aid In brlng nc thla about I am to be counted In the harness, for I am, and long have neen, n entnusiast over tne possibili ties of Council Crest."

BAILEY'S OFFICE IMPUGNS MOTIVES OF DAIRYMAN "We did everything that we could possibly do for Rolfes," said Paul V. Maris, deputy dairy and food commis sioner, this morning. "When he told us that his herd was idiseased we told blm to 'stop the fcale of his milk from his diseased, cows, notified the state veterinarian and were aasured by Rolfes that he would not sell any more of the milk from the sick cows. We con sidered that we had done our duty In that we had done all that we could de but still made further inquiries about the matter. - "Dr. Craemer, a reputable veteri narian, whom Rolfes emplered, told us that the herd appeared to be perfectly normal in all respects. He tried his best to find some evidence of tubercu- Josls but coutd not so that we could lo nothing but wait till the state veterinarian got back from his trip to eastern Oregon before taking any further action.. "To us it seemed that Rolfes had other than the right motives in re porting this case. He has his herd mortgaged for more than half their value and It is said wants to keen from paying the rest of the purchase cost. He has not acted sensibly all through his trouble and we think that nothing but a motive other than what is right. Dr. J. M.

The development of resources and opportunities, the preven tion of waste and loss, the protection of the public Interests by foresight pru dence, thrift and intelligence all this applies with clear and undeniable force to the conservation of natural 4 sources But It applies just as clearly and undeniably to the conservation of every interest and necessity of the peo ple. The conservation point of view has been education as it is Ip forestry. It applies to the body politic as It does to the earth and Its minerals.

Farmers using combined harvest ers and other heavy machines were eager purchasers. ' . The owrers of the original patents claimed that the Hinea hitch was an in fringement and secured an injunction against the Hines people either making or selling their device. Deputy Marshal Griffith has prders to stop the use of the infringing hitches and will be com pelled to prevent their use, even to the extent of stopping harvesting operations wherever the alleged irregular device may be found.
