' The chief purpose of the Irrigation congress delegates In appearing before ' the legislature Is to aid in opening .Ore- . gon to development by establishing a ' policy that gives more heed to getting people on the land and at work than of taking from them In the beginning all their savings as first payments. - -If necessary, it was said this morn lng, a reclamation lobby will remain at the legislature during Its entire session ' and not let up until requests have been ' granted -s;-' - - - Among the congress members on the -train this morninar was J.

Columbia. George Wright and Boisa Barracks been diverted to the banks of Seattle, but an additional sum of probably $200,000 a year has been lost to Portland because discharged soldiers from all these forts now go to Seattle to : sign their final papers Instead of to Portland as formerly. Much of the money received by these soldiers was spent In Portland and a large portion of It went for . railroad tickets purchased here.- ' ' . ; Another source of uneasiness to Port lander? is that occasioned by he re ceipt, of information of a positive na ture yesterday to the effect that army engineers have been ordered to prepare plans to y make of Fort Lawton, six miles east of Seattle, a brigade post In order to carry out this project the area ofthe f ort "would haveo be great ly enlarged by the acquisition of more ground and an expenditure -of between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 in the install ation of new buildings would be neces sitated. . .- n i : ; . . :- : - This again gives rise to a repetition of a strong rumor that the war depart ment is contemplating the ultimate re movhl of . the. department headquarters at Vancouver , Barracks to Seattle, lf not the bulk of the regiments now sta tioned there, as well.'.- V;f However, the officials of the war de partment have repeateaiydeftled that they were contemplating' such a step and General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, on the occasion of his visit to Portland several months ago reiterated the previous denials. General Wood told a Journal represen tative at that time that even if Fort Lawton should be made a brigade post, this would have no effect on the bar racks at Vancouver. He stated that he would recommend to the war depart ment" that the else - of ths Vancouver barracks, far from being reduced, be made larger, if anything, " t PORTLAND MAY GET ' ' OSTEOPATHIC MEETING , Encouraged by their preliminary work and confident, of success, dele gates attending the mid-year meeting of the Oregon Osteopathic association decided 5aturday-to-make a hard cam paign to bring the 1916 convention of the American Osteopathic association to Portland. , -, .. -: , h . : .

The relation of the Panama Canal to Golf Park is an interesting subject for consideration. .While it is granted that the opening of the Canal will very measurably affect property values and the supply and demand of all kinds ,of Homebuilding and industrial real estate, it is pleasant to reflect upon the really peculiar influence.that this "big ditch" will have upon GOLF PARK.

Second, an appreciable increase in all Hnes jof business dependent, : Both of these resists will gradually work themselves powerfully into the cities and rural districts of tho Pacific , coast country, touching every, activitywith the wand of progress and stimulating every department of human effort i with the prophecy of what is to follow, " , , , . . ; . ; 1 ' ; -' -; . - " -" : ;, :' ' '-: ...... 1 .

J. -Considering these Two results specifically, the decided increase in population will materially affect Golf Park. Nort hland's population, we are told, will be most quickly augmented. More people will demand more places in which to live, more homes, more lots upon which to build them, more area to subdivide. ' The encroachment of the poorer residence districts upon the more exclusive will drive those who can afford more room and better homes to more select sections. With the increase of population, will come smaller homes, smaller lots and more people per home. This will compel the wealthier classes to seek outlying districts, where exclusion arid scparatcness can be enjoyed. Furthermore, these same influences will increase demand for such property as Golf Park, advancing prices and making really desirable residence property more difficult to find. , The appreciable 'increase of business in all lines, will have a definite tendency to add to our population men of af- fairs; Factories will come; mills will spring up; industries wiU lcnock at our doors and our big men will witness big- gcr men taking part in the building up of a Greater and Better Portland. v .7".. . . , .. - v 1 ' 'y - - - " -r - x - - These men, with eastern tastes, eastern ideas and typical eastern leaning toward magnificent suburban estates, will buy such property as Golf Park more quickly than it can be platted. That this condition will directly affect Golf Park cannot be questioned. " 1 You say, "This is good boost talk for Future Portland, but, there's plenty of time." We say, "That's the kind of talK that has kept Portland in the back seat so long.". There is not a man living who can foresee or foretell with accuracy, how long or how quickly these development will be upon. us.: .The most rcasoriablo giicss that has been ventured Is, that there will bo a million Germans arrive; on this coast within 16 montlis after the Canal is in operation. : : i ' ' All we have to say Is that Golf Park is READY NOWI Arc you! ."f,.Y.
