V London, June 17. The colleges to be
chosen for the Prince of Wales' varsity
career have not yet been formally an
nounced though it Is rumored he will go
first to Cambridge. It so, it may be
. taken for granted that he will become
an alumnus of Trinity. The king and
-queen are great believers in ths social
and educational value or public scnooi
and college life, and have no Idea of
following the "coddling"' methoda to
which soma fond parents cling. For
this reason it Is not Intended that the
Prlnoe of Wale shoud be shut up in a
separate establishment of bis own, to
emerge therefrom under the tutelage of
a private coach for tbe purpose of at
tending university lectures.. Instead of
this be will Join In all ths communal
life of bis college, but msy have

PROVIDES PROTECTION

Fans, June 17. Andre Hesse a
member of the chamber and a barrister
Introduced an exceedingly interesting
Diu ror tne protection or srtistlc copy
right In a new form, which will be of
a- great benefit to artists. Everyone
has noted ths unfavorable position In
which the painter for instance, 1 placed
compared with the writer. No literary
man nowadays sens his copyright out
right; ths srtlst is obviously compelled
to do so. While he is unknown, he may
have to aell for 1100 a picture which
later on. even during his lifetime, and
only a few years after the first sale,
; may bring ten, twenty, or a hundred
. times the amount and bring him in not
a penny more, befitting only the col
lector and dealer. The artist's only
reached a point where it la probable th
oldest settled rural section in Oregon
that district lying between Oregon City
and SUverton will soon have a railroad
to carry out It products of timber an!

Th road Is purely a Clackamas coun
ty enterprise and Is largely backed by
th farmers ' of th country through
which It ia to pass, who have long need
ed some means of transportatlng crop
cheaply and quickly.
The line runs southeast from Oregon
City for alx miles to ' Beaver Creek,
where It will Up the Clark and High
land countries with their timber, and the
Cams farms, thence flv miles south
through farms and timber to Mulino,
tbe center of a rich country and the
alto of one of the oldeat grist mills In
ths state the Mulino mills, on Milk
creek which nave been In operation con
tinuously for mors than (0 years. Ths i
mills were built by Richard Howard and
are now operated by his son, C. T. How
ard who was born and raised in Mulino
and Is operating th mill at th ag of
15 years.
At Mulino the road enters the Mo
lalla valley, where the Molalla Indians
lived. Th main traveled road into the

and U a. direct line, regardleaa of hills

In th foothills, not far from Mulino,

as a-summer resort to many Portland
people.
South of Mulino the lino will pas
through Llboral, lb towns of Molalla,

finally Slrverton. The entire valley' la a
very rich farming district and It is es
timated there are 10,000.000,000 feet of I

ORTLAND home-builders are ambitious. Many have
wishes that might be fealiied in" homes" ranging in
cost from $5000 to $50,000. Existing conditions have
oftentimes caused deferred action. It has long been
a deplored fact that each succeeding decade in the
history of the city has seen its choicest group of homes steadily
encroached upon by inferior surroundings. Result? Lost pres
tige and deterioration in value.
Until now Kings Heights has purposely been withheld from
the market in order to allow a! cheaper class of homes to jearry
the city thirty or forty blocks farther in other directions. The
time for putting this magnificent property on the; market has
of late, been ripening rapidly.. Preparations have accordingly
been going forward. America's best landscape engineers planned
the most effective way to open and improve if.' For more than
a year workmen have been busy with" the vast amount of labor
involved in executing these plans.' The result today is partly
apparent. Kings Heights stands out from theentef of the city's
western hills and signals, "Ready." ' It, will be welcomed as the
one 'locality, adequately safeguarded to resist the "invasion of
menacing conditions- a locality' sufficiently elevated to satisfy
the demands of those who prefer thtf hills. ; v
v . ,', :' ,
You are invited to inspect ' the detailed" plans governing the
development of Kings Heights at the office of its sponsors
Keasey, Humason & Jeffery; second floor, Chamber of Commerce
building. The execution of these jplans are rapidly nearing completion..-
