Tho entire west side of the Willamette to the foothill a large district on the eaat side, and alt the land located west of union ave nue, between the riVers, to St, Johns, will be used for business, and will be covered by ths best modern fireproof miuoings, ranging n Jieight from 10 to so stories "Tubes and tunnels must be built for rapid transit, not only under rivers, but mere win be a, largo tunnel constructor in tho center of the land between the rivers, starting near the present eastern boundary line pf the city,, running west to St. Johns.

Ths only practical solution, Jn my Judg ment, Is to relievo tho ever increasing congested condition caused bythe par row-60 foot streets,' lack of alleys and water in cellars. Therefore, gentlemen, you will see double-decked streets and tho present streets wilt be used for cars and .Heavy loaded wagons and trucks. The first stories of buildings will be used for basements and a certain class of trade and business. Thea perfectly constructed streets, Installed above the present streets, will be used for car riages, automobllee. and the' walking, shopping public The center of these upper streets, will have a safely pro tected opening, covered wrth glass, beau tified With fountains and statuary. You will observe when this feasible plan Is installed and perfected, the streets will not only be safe for the public but will appear like a park, one of great beauty and utility. - : p.W.'-X- v; 'vv 'The entire city at night will be as light as dav. for the tinusued elsrtrln power wlll. be used, for that purpose, at slight cost for -the state and city will own -and 'oontrol this great natural I gift, the stored energies, water power of . tho' state - You .will see men .and women traveling through the air for business and pleasure the same as the auto Is no w used. The. entire roof of the 'Scenlo Castle,' U stories in height. will be used for .the convenience of air navigators. You wilt -aee grand, lm posing parks and boulevards.' All streets in the city hard surfaced and beautified by fountains and Portland's matchless roses. But the moat beauti ful sight : of all ' will be the smiling faces of healthy women and laughing ehildren. accompanied : by successful, prosperous men, husbands, fathers and lovers. : w - "Oentltmen, in conclusion, look at the rapid ' ekyscraplng , developments r in Portland during the past five years; let your vision extend over the entire state of oreaon, including tne 260,(100 square miles of rtoh. productive lands contrtbu tarv to Portland's supremacy, and you must all aaree- with me that nowhere on earth does the ram oo w or promise shine with greater brilliancy than It Is now shining and win continue to snine on Portland, the New Torn or tne n- clfiC." - - ' W.
