W12. mm ifisw SSlT AleM Power President of Portland Ad Club Returns From Texas City Enthusiastic With Manner of Boosting She Employs. Not bo busy advertising Qttgon but that he had time to study leading Ideas - In city building, President Albert a. Clark, of the Portland Ad club, brought from Dalas, Tex., where the annual meeting of the National Advertising as sociation was held, some very definite "7" comparisons between the plans of Dal las and Portland. "Although less than half the site of Portland, Dallas can point the way In many matters that tend to public good and the welfare of the city;" said Mr. Clark yesterday. "For a period of nearly three years Dallas employed an expert In city prac tical plans, the money coming out of the clty'st funds. There was also em ployed another expert on underground plans water filtration, artesian wells, reservoirs and the like. "This spirit certainly shows an nd vance over the Portland method which required a few citizens to put up the funds for the general good of a city. . Dallas boasts the largest viaduct In the world, 6400 feet, Including approaches, - extending from the business district across low flats to what Is called locally ... Oak Cliffs, a residence district. The viaduct stimulated the building up of that distilct and it is now peopled with 10,000 cit'zens. The property is high .. and sightly and growing rapidly with beautiful homes. Property Owners Public Spirited. "Many improvements are under way and money Is paid by bonding the city assuming one-third and the property in tere&ts two-thirds. "Enterprising citizens donated some- thing Itke five rnfles of boulevards which extend through the city to High land prk. Whenever any improvement Is contemplated property owners come forward with donations that encourage and further the Improvement spirit. - 'Dallas can truthfully boast of more good roads tributary to the city than any other city of 100,000 in the country something like 400 miles of good roads are the net results to date of the enterprise of Its people. This accounts for Dallas enjoying the largest retail trifle among the cities of Texas, and is also the reason the city supports the finest retail stores to be found In the Southwest. 'Wares displayed In the shop windows Indicate a development of trade that la astonishing and if you cannot find an article In' the Dallas stores It Is only because the world's markets do not sup ply that article. Good roads make a city prosperous and It Is down hill to Dallas from the homes or nearly 1,500,- 000 people. Brings Plana With Elm. "The Southwestern university had been located at Georgetown for a quar ter of a century. Talk of moving caused . Dallas to- come to bat with an offer of 1400,000 which amount was considered the invested present value of the uni versity holdings. Other cities got very ' busy also but Dallas was on the job and Immediately made an offer of $1,- . 000,000 worth of land and the result Is that the Southwestern university moved to Dallas. Dallas enterprise Is of a kind to learn lessons from In the North west. "There la an old saying that oomparl- . eons are odious. I do not believe It. 1 think that we should profit by such : examples of enterprise. If we find that a community goes ahead by the display of a certain enterprise It is my opinion l that w should compare it with our methods and take the best of the two for our own and put It to work. I am Btll! of the belief that Oregon can't be beaten, but we can go ahead faster , with a broader gauge spirit of enter prise put Into practice." Mr. Clark brought back from Dallas Several copies of the Dallas plan an 1 elaborate volume of enthusiastic text and Illustrated with pictures and maps ! that Indicate the possibilities of growth that may be realized from the stirring Texas town. 1 E STAB CAM L L AT JUAREZ (United Trees Leiied Wire.

PENDLETON WATER BILL SIGNED BY PRESIDENT " 1 " 1 fViinInittocurea"uof "TKyTroatT JWashinrtn, July .-Tne president sent word to congress thai he has signed the bill providing for Perfdleton's water supply: also the bill for reim bursing the officers and crewof the Msnianlta forKf facts lost In a wreck. A certain five bushels of wheat grown In the Paclflo northwest seems likely to become very famous after the big crop promised for this year Is harvested, tt will be krfown aa "the champion five bushels of the northwest," and Oregon wheat growers are planning to compete vigorously for the sake of winning the prize. A letter has been received from Will A. Campbell, secretary of; the Northwest' Development league, by the Commercial club, which describes the requirements of the contest, insert, aw follows: "How the Judges will find the best five bushels of wheat grown in the American northwest and determine who is entitled to the $5000 prize offered for five bushels of wheat by the North west Development league, is told by President Lewis Penwell of the league, who has given much time to working out the details. "Many people will pick over five bush els of wheat In order to get the kernels uniform, remove weed seed, have only plump, bright, ewCet seeds, in the sam ple and thus get the grain a little nearer perfect. "Four hundred farmers have written the secretary , and declared their inten tion of entering this contest," said Mr. renwetl. 'With prospects for the best grain crops the American northwest has ever known, there will be plenty of competition for the prize offered at the Northwestern Products exposition In November. Three Judges to Act. "Three Judges will be selected by the president find the agronomists of the agricultural colleges of the seven states competing Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Ore gon. The Judges must come from with out the American northwest. It Is not expected 'that these judges will all be agricultural college people. Ijome of them will probably be from one of the grain exchanges of the country a Judge of commercial grains. "Judging will be In three ways: First, according to the accepted score card; second, by a milling and baking test, and third, by the yield per acre. One hundred points will be allowed for each of the three ways and the sum of the points gained divided by three, thus arriving at the average score. "Thirty points wiU be allowed on yield, 25 being on the weight per bushel and five on the uniformity of the sam ple. "Fifteen points will be allowed on variety characters, three of these points being on the color, 10 on purity, which means the kernels must be true to the typo of breed represented; two points are allowed for the kernel shape, which varies with the breed. 'Thirty points are allowed for vitality five of these being for luster, as a dull, dead color Is objectionable; 16 points will be allowed for plumpness, as all wheat kernels should be plump, well filled and well rounded, having no sharp angles and with the creases well closed. Seven points are for odor, the sampled should be sweet and free from all foul smell, mustiness, etc. Points Considered. "Twenty-five points are allowed for market condition, 10 points berng to cover weed seed; three points for dirt and dust, two points for Injured ker nels, five paints for smut and five points for the condition of the bran. This means the samples to stand any chance of securing the prize, must be free from weed seed, especially wild oats, darnel, quack grass, cheat and mustard. No dust must be present All broken, blighted and scabby kernels will count against the wheat, while the bran or seed coat must be smooth, bright and free from dirt and weathering. "The rules for Judging take away one point for each pound for less than standard weight of 60 pounds. The judges will count out 100 seeds as they run. They will cut the score In propor tion to the weed seed found. Color, purity, kernel shape, luster, plumpness, germ, odor, dirt, dust, smut and con dition of bran .are all of a matter of judgment. The Judges will consider care fully the desirable features in these regards and cut the score In each case accordingly," YAMHILL COUNTY TESTS PASSED BY 40 TEACHERS (Special to Tbe Journal.)
