Mr. Lang said, that Portland was way to the rear of other cities in the de velopment of parks and boulevards and mentioned Seattle's expenditure of sev eral millions 1n this connection. He suggested that the Civic councllaak to have placed on the ballot a charter amendment permitting the board to be Its own boss."

Concerning- the Council Crest nurchase. Dr. Wetherbee said it would be neces- aary to buy 29.04 acres, for which the, hlghest proper price was $6000 an acre. But, In addition, he said. A.

Four great organisations desire to bring ,k.i. -.e . , . . uiir iiBuuiiau conveuuons to roniano, he said, and each would bring not less than 50,000 delegates. The l:iks and Modern Woodmen are included . among these organisations. ' Other organiza tions are sending their scouts to Port land to find out what would be the quality of entertainment A public auditorium' would be sufficient in near ly every Instance to bring these great conventions to Portland. .; The council passed unanimously a resolution approving the auditorium and authorized a committee to promote the 'auditorium plan. 1 , t t . . ..... , ...iM.u mat ii ruruana would spend l,000,00v a year for five years in parks and boulevards, It would be an Investment equal in worth to that of Kansas City, Mo., where the 1oule-ard-systeni la one of the city's chief : beauties and attractions for conventions and tourists. All the speakers said that property which might have been bought for $1,600,000 two or three years ago would now cost from $2,000,000 to $8,000,000, and that this rate of Increase was now even more rapid than It had been.

Plenty of singing, acting and acro batic stunts In short a diversified bill of good quality goes to make the of fering at the Pantages pleasing this week. There is-only one flaw In the whole performance and that takes place when the two young men In an act es say to sing. The "Cadets de Oagogne," a French operette, divide honors with the head liners, the "Six Cornallaa," European balancing acrobats. The cadets are splendid singers and their costumes are among the tastiest seen on the Pantages stage for many moons. The Six Cor nallaa prove to be very entertaining and much applause greeted their balancing and pyramid work and other skillful feats. The bill opens with Morle and Scome, Jugglers, who are good. Scome la a comedian of no mean quality. La Salle .and Starr know how to dance and they proved It Their vocal ef forts, however; offset to a degree the! favorable impression given by their j dances.
