Garden stuff grown by Kenneth Clemmens Newberg.
. (oilrin Bortao of The JournI.)
Salem, OrH Jan. 20. After reading the
letter sent out last week, by State Su
perintendent L. R. Alderman to the
teachers of the state, in which he said,
"Do you know that the else of the
pumpkin does not depend upon the size
of the boy or the girl who plants the
seed?"., little Kenneth Clemmens sent
Mr. Alderman a picture of. the big
pumpkins he raised In his own garden
In Newberg last year. Kenneth Is stand
ing behind a monster pumpkin that al
most conceals his body. He wonders
whether he will be able to win any of
the prizes at the state fair next fall,
where all those pure bred sheep, goats,
pigs, calves and ponies are to be given
for exhibits made by children,
i Kenneth is not the only child in Ore
gon who is asking that question. -The
children have begun to want to plant
their gardens, although the pussy wil
lows are barely peeping out of their
buds. As so many children are mani
festing interest in planting gardena,
there is practically no question but that
the state superintendent's goal of having
30,000 children exhibitors at the state
fair and '75.000 at the county fairs will
be realized.

Los Angeles, Jan. 20. John Collins,
a Bakersfleld jeweler, is held today to
answer before the federal court on a
charge of counterfeiting. According to
Secret Agent George Hazen, Collins ad
mitted that he manufactured spurious
$5 gold pieces because his business gave
little return and his family was In need.
According to Hazen the prisoner told a
pitiful story of persistent creditors and
a fight against poverty. He said the
coins were the cleverest imitations the
secret service agents had seen In years.

LOS ANGELES NAMED
FOR TRADES MEETING
ftTnltrri rma Leaned Wlrc.l
Fresno, Cat, Jan. 80. Toa Angeles
was chosen as the place for the next
convention of the State Building Trades
council of California today, ' after the
reelection, of the . Incumbent officers.
8tockton and Bakersfleld had both tried
to get the convention, presenting, num
erous invitations from their Industrial
and' commercial bodies and public of
ficials, but the delegates voted to meet
in 1913 In the one city which has never
orr Iclally - welcomed a labor . gathering.
- Job Harrlman'a second campaign for
election as mayor will be launched by
the socialist' force at that time.
, The text of the report of the com
mlttee- named to pass upon Secretary-
Treasurer Tveitmoe annual geport,
which was endorsed by unanimous vote,
provides this plan for securing 'politi
cal solidarity In the labor ranks:
"That the executive officers of this
council De airectea to arrange for a
conference at the earliest possible mo
ment with the state federation of labor,
, the union labor party and the Socialist
party,; for the purpose of providing a
plan by which political unity might be
obtained throughout the state. .That
steps be ' taken to organise working
women and the wlvea and daughters of
: wage worxers into political clubs for
" . practical work on behalf of their class.
W feel Confident that Jf this recom-
- mendatlon receive enthusiastic sup
port of our member and the project
la adequately financed, the next legjsla.

LEVEL TERRACE
Out of a Hill as High as the Spalding Building!
IT1ALK about the great 16-inch
, guns of the new Dreadnaughts
-what do they amount to when
compared with the "Giant" we have
right here in Portland?
Of course, the 16-inch guns may pierce
armour plate, but the Portland "Giant"
why, it actually and literally has moved, and
will continue to move, mountains!
What for? ; vj
Just so that a few hundred of the more
favored people can come up out of the streets
of the city and live on the Heights as they
would on tire flat and enjoy conveniences
that new engineering methods now make
possible for the first time anywhere !
Tell me, do you think this property West
over Terraces is worth while to Greater
Portland? .
Is it worth while to have the sites laid out
individually with some artistic regard as to
their location?
And to have them level, so that the
of the home is the only- cost ?
And to have a double system of ter
races, that sets every home on a plateau of
its own, distinct, separate and complete?
And to have the streets built as they
never before have been built, so that walk
ing is easy and autos can use the "high?"
And, above all, to have the Portland
panorama that seems to stretch a million
miles and, hourly, by day and night, pre
sents a still more alluring spectacle?
But to see all of this at least should be
worthwhile.-'
So why wait ?
When could there be a more con
venient time than today now to
get a line on this remarkable propo
sition, now in the making?
Three of the four stages in the
work are now to be seen and to be
one of those who will see it today is
certainly fit and proper and much to
be desired. v
Don't waitTake the Twenty-third street or "W",cars to
Westover Terraces. . , .
For plats and full information drop a line to my off ice
before it is too late.
