COUNCIL CREST PARK
, rEW STEPS that Portland could
take would serve her bo well
I , as the acquirement and con-
version of the Council Crest
tract Into a public park. - The plan
Is recognized as wise and is advo
cated by many prominent Portland
era. It. is in harmony with the move
ments in cities throughout; tbe coun
try, i The civic side of urban life
has come to be everywhere regarded
as an .- important factor. It v Is
phase that was ' neglected In the
earlier days of city building, and a
costly blunder that is being repaired
now at immense outlay. The
younger city of Portland has oppor
tunity to avoid the error by acquir
ing Important park property before
prices , rise to figures bordering on
the. impossible.' That it is wisdom
to acquire sites before values reach
their ultimate is a proposition" that
is out of the question to controvert.

.was assessed in 1908 at $38,500. In
1909 it was assessed at $46,000. j
Even under the terms of its lease
its reasonable value is not greatly'
in excess of the valuations for (his
year's assessment. The taxable value
should be of large weight in fixing
the market value. The - assessed
value is a figure that Is perfectly
fair for a Jury to consider in any
condemnation proceedings, for , ac
quiring property for public purposes.
The custom of giving one-valuation
for purposes -of taxation and fixing
a value half a dozen times as -great
when the city is buying needs dis
couragement, and a fitting place to
begin is in arriving at values for
some of the proposed park sites.
Council Crest comprises 27 acres
of which 14 acres is under lease for
20 years The city should purchase
it now, subject to the terms of the
lease if a satisfactory and reason
able accommodation cannot' be
reached with the tenants. The un
leased portion could be Improved
and the leased portion would pay
the Interest on the Investment until
the lease expires. The way is open,
for the city to make , a beginning,
and terms can be had on a less cost
ly basis than at any postponement.
The city ought to own it and some
day will own it. If one administra
tion does not secure It another will.
The main question is whether the
purchase wlll .be made: at lower
prices now or at higher prices later,
and It is a question that ought not
to be difficult for men of moderate
intelligence to decide as to which a
the better.
Council' Crest as a park would be
lomething of which no other city in
the world could boast It pre

; a Q- P- ':
HERE IS a new agency in the
world's processes. There : are
men to whom a strange signal
comes out of . th . air. This
signal is phrased in the mystic inlt
ials "C. Q. D,". They are the Ian
guage of the wireless telegraph, and
when they fall on the trained ear of
the wireless operator on sea or on
land they tell him that a ship is la
distress. They are the signal call
for help dotted -and dashed through
the ether from tbe deck of a sink
ing ship.';,-., yVt-' '' ,;
Wireless has brought with it a
new form of hero. Incidents of in
trepidity by wireless . operators are
numerously reported. Brave oper
ators have gone down, with the
sinking ship, , remaining at their
posts in the effort to save other
lives until the waters opened and en
gulfed them with their doomed ves
sels. In no instanco reported does
the courage of man stand out more
perfectly than in the case of George
E. Eccles, who went down with the
ill fated Ohio on the Alaskan coast
at 1 o'clock Friday morning. , i
The story . of Eccles' bravery as
told by a brother operator with
whom , he had been conversing be
fere the Ohio struck is a thrilling,
if pathetic, narrative of . courage,
C. Q. .D." came out of the ether to
this operator. He answered quick
ly, and. from the doomed ship came
tbe tidings, "Ohio struck a rock
Steamer sinking. . Send aid imme
diately, or everybody will be lost."
The steamers Humboldt and Ru
pert happened to be near, and, by
wireless, they called Eccles and
asked the latitude of the sinking
ship. The latitude was quickly
elven and both steamers went to
the rescue. iThen came another
distress message from Eccles: "Ohio
sinking : fast. Cannot hold out.
Passengers being taken off in small
boats. Captain and crew will stick
tfe. the last." A reply was flashed
back by the hurrying rescue steam
ers.' ' --. ' '
. Then came ; a message from Ec
cles that was never finished. The
ability of the crippled Ohio to float
was less than the brave operator's
intrepidity: "Passengers all oft and
adrift in small boats. Captain and
crew going off in the last boat.
Waiting for me now good-bye."
But Eccles remained at his post
too long. He did not reach the
captain's boat that waited, and went
with his ship to the bottom.
Laurel wreaths have been . placed
on the .brows or neroes. ineir
deeds have been pictured In poem,
painting and song. From Arnojd
von Wlnkelrled down to the brave
locomotive engineer who, by forfeit
of his own. life, saved a tralnload of
passengers the other day, men have
been praised for their Intrepidity.
But among them all not one was
more worthy of the world's applause
than the man who flashed out
"C. Q. D." from the hapless Ohio.

FAMOUS GEMS OF PROSE
Tne Benefit of Labor Uaions By ThaoJors Roovelt
PROHTS IN PEARS
R'
OGUB RIVER Bartlett pears are
selling at from about $3.25 a
box in Chicago to over $4 a box
in New York and Boston. This
price gives a yield of . around $2000
a car. The average cost, to grow.
pack and ship a box of ; pears Is
stated to be about 60 cents, and the
cost for freight to Chicago and com
mission is about 76 cents, a box, so
that at $3.25 a box the net price to
tbe grower is nearly $2 a box, and in
the, case of those sold in New York
and Boston at over $4 It is consider
ably more than this. In the case of
a recent shipment the orchard
yielded at the rate of 600 boxes per
acre, and the net return to . . the
grower was therefore $1140, per
acre, some orcnaras, says tne Mea-
ford Tribune, will . do better than
this. It mentions an orchard 6t 7
acres that will yield 10 carloads,
which at the Chicago price received
last week would net $1520 an acre.
Another orchard, may net $1800, or
if the price advances as . expected
$2000" aa acre. Several other" va
rieties of pears In that : region -will
yield nearly as much as the Bartlett.
Presumably -these ' orchards men
tioned are among the best, and' man;
otKeTTwill yield lower returns, but
any of them will doubtless be very
profitable to the grower. In a re
gion throughout which, soli and cli
mate are about tbe same, it seems to
be principally a question '.of right ef
fort on the grower's, part to get a
profit from pear orchards of . from
$1000 to $1500 per acre, at pres
