tlon was called to the rapid growth
and the possibilities of San Francisco
and Los Angeles, he reiterated his
declarationwith emphasis. ; X Vs t
Here is an opinion worth while. In
preparedness for a view as to the
relative possibilities of coast cities,
so man is more competent, few are
as wfeU equipped. ; Mr.: Stevens is
one of the most famous civil engi
neers of his ' time. sfr As bead of the
Panama canal be was chief 'of the
greatest engineering project in . all
history. He has 'been, and still is, at
the head of great undertakings. He
knows the forces and factors that as
semble for the growth of a city. His
education, capacity ' and bent have
brought him in close touch with big
facts. - His study of the Pacific coast
was prelmlnary to a great investment
of railroad capital and was undertak
en with that Impartiality with which
great captalnspf finance invest their
money. There was no reason for
Portland to be" adopted, except on
its merits, and yet aa a result of Mr.
Stevens'", expert survey; of the Xleld,
Portland was selected.
Mr. Stevens gave reasons for the
belief that Is la hint , Ko other city
rn tbe coast is so favorably situated
for the strategy of transportation.
Iery other city is reached -by
r ountaln climb, an obstacle that is
fixed and unalterable 1b the issue of

nowadays to fear. '.; -v ! ' :
In , the ' bustling, hustllne. modem
world there Is little chance' of our re
lations with servant, becoming' too per
sonal. We are much, more ' likely to '
lapse into a habit of treating them as
machines, which they ; naturally repay
by the same cold, limited service a
machine renders. . What Is the perfict
servant? We had a suggestion In Mme,

thus aummed up the whole duty of
the world below stairs: "A servant
should see everything ; antfi say notii-
A good many 'people will -xvrotest '
hastily. The command to say nothing
is well enough, but they have no de- '
aire to encourage a servant to see
everything. There la so much in the
most respectable life which I. not In
tended for publication. . But If " you '
wan to be absolutely private, tfi only
way i. to aeep no servants at all,
With the ' least' curious of maid, or
men about the house they must see
much, and ; If they have Intelligence
enough to be good servants, they will
infer a deal more, f. Moreover, If . you
want to be well served, it Is desirable
that they should. "
we may not go the whole way with
Marietta. It 1. not deairable that a
servant should see everything. Omnis
cience Is not safe for any human being.
