With such an auspicious beginning It appears strange that Mllwaukle did not grow to be a, city. of -consequence. , The V . reason which la given today la that the town waa. settled by German ranchers who thought more of the tilling of the soli than ll?y ; did ef making -.a city. The descendants of those original Ger man ranchers still live around Milwau- ; kle, but tney have become a progressive class of cltlsens. They have grown wealthy from their labors and are now ..: willing to spend their : money for the good of the town. ..--v"' " Mllwaukle, of today is a city of some v 1608 souls, and has all of the advantages of a much larger city. .AU of the relig ious denominations are represented with good churches, and all. of them have a good following. The publio school is one of the beat In the state. . , Civlo Zmprovements moaned. , , It was the first school in Clackamas county to receive the Class A rating, and was the second school in .the state ' to receive that rating. At present the school employs 11 teachers,' but a high school course has lately been added, v; which, will necessitate the employment of more teachers within a short time. From a civlo standpoint. Mllwaukle la all that could he desired.' At present It has a council which realises that there are many needed , Improvements to be made and they , are voting .these lm- provements at' every meeUng. - At the jaat council meeting a contract was ' awarded to the Montague-CHellly com : -peny of Portland, for the hard surfac- Ing of Front street, one of the principal - streets in the business? district. The contractors have ' promised that work shall commence within, a few days. At formes meeting 2(1,000 in bonds were authorised for .the purchase 'or building -of a municipal water plant. These are - examples of the larger improvements, but at every meeting some lesser lm- ' provement is favorably acted upon. At present Mllwaukle does not have free postal delivery, but an agitation for thla service was started by the busi ness men some time ago, and their ef forts in the matter - received favorable .recognition from the postal authorities. The postal officials have promised that the service shall be given as soon as . the cross-town streets are) Improved with good board sidewalks. Several of these walka have already been constructed -and petitions for others are now being , circulated, -:-.v,- ' .Will Have newspaper. A . ' Mllwaukle once had a newspaper and a commercial club, but that was in the "other" days. A new weekly . newspa per is soon to make Its appearance in the town, and it Is certain that this one shall make. good for it has both the moral and financial support of most . of the business men of the town. Dur ing the past few years there has been no urgent need for a commercial club, but it Is different now. There are so many improvements to be agitated and so many movements to be encouraged that a commercial club is a necessity. - The business men realise this, too, for they have decided that such, a, club shall be organised within a very short time.. - , -.vYr -.'.., Another Industry which may be given to Mllwaukle is an automobile factory.

A young business woman of North Portland chose a seat near the door , of the T. to. C A cafeteria, and out of this seemingly ' inconsequential happen ing has grown a brand new T. W. C A cafeteria in the North Portland district, located at the corner of Eighteenth. and Raleigh streets. After being seated at the table near est the door. Miss, Basel Clark . was Joined in a few minutes by Miss James, general secretary of the T. W. C A They did not know each other, but started a conversation, and 'Miss James remarked that she often selected that table because it was so near the door and she was able to get away Quickly. ' "That ts exactly why I alt here," said Miss ' Clark, I come so far and my time is so short that I don't dare take an extra step." v She then unfolded to Miss - James hr -great need 'of s Y. W. C. A cafeterU in the North Portland manufacturing and wholesale district 'She was assured that if the need wan. sufficient a way would surely be provided to fill it. Accordingly Miss Clark assumed the task of -circulating petitions ( among the various establish Mllwaukle and well for the company that they tlld, for after several meetings a definite agreement for the location in the town was practically reached. The people of Mllwaukle will furnish a good building site and subscribe for 125,000 in stock. The factory will prove a very beneficial tonlo to the town for it will employ a large number of laborers. Probably the best , thing about Mil watkle is the unbounded faith that all of the cltlsens have in the future of the town. , The town, outgrew its swaddling clothes long ago, but it has not yet grown so large but what all of its peo ple are neighbors and friends. It iathls hearty spirit of harmony and. coopera tion' which shall always prove of in estimable value. , MRS: HOMER DAVENPORT SUED FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY Morristown, N. J., July it. Mrs. Ho mer Davenport, Widow of the cartoonist, whose home is Just above Morris Plains, la being sued by a number of property holders at Morristown Heights for a right of way across her property to reach the Heights. The suit follows her refusal to allow New Yorkers who own about 1000 lots to open a road con necting the main road leading to Mount Taber and the Watnong Mountain road leading to Dover. Including ail the various ' movements of the earth , a person travels 86,266 miles in taking a three mile stroll ments requesting only signatures of women, who would, if a cafeteria were established,' give it their patronage. Within a few days 108 signatures were secured. The heads of the firms re sponded with substantial encourage ment at ' the same time making the request that their male employes "also be allowed to use the new cafeteria. This request was granted. ,. empefc Xa Befitted. Then came the search for a suitable building in that particular district. The old .wooden church standing on the .cor ner of Raleigh and Eighteenth streets was . finally secured ' and after being thoroughly cleaned, papered and painted and fitted up for its new duties,, waa opened Wednesday, July I. with 41 pa trons for lunch, many of them men. On the second day there were 60 patrons and since then -the numbee. vhae .re mained -around the 60 'mark.

"So far as I am concerned, I see no objection to billboards far out' in the suburbs,, along publio highways, or along the rights of way of railroads a short distance beyond the city limits, but I am utterly opposed to. cluttering up the center of the city, defacing dead walls and lining the river front along the bridge approaches with them. r "It's a sure shot that, if the .billboard ordinance were confronted tomorrow with the referendum, there would he a concerted rush of signers. , I may try it if I can get a little help."

Since the publication of the proposed income tax feature of the Underwood tariff bill, the allied real estate inter- ests in the large eastern cities have been using every effort to induce the finance committee of the senate to correct cer tain portions of the bill which realty men claim will work an unnecessary Hardship ror real estate owners. Edward F. Clark, one of the best known real estate lawyers In New York, has submitted the following argument to the senate finance committee In sup port Of an amendment offered by the allied real estate interests permitting tne deduction from gross income of all Interest paid on indebtedness secured by mortgage on real estate: "Provisions of the bill require the de duction of the tax at the source on in terest above a certain figure payable by land owners to their mortgages and on annual rents above a certain figure pay. able by tenants to their landlords. . "Hardship Is Unnecessary." "These impose a serious and unneces sary hardship upon real estate, owners and lenders , on bond and mortgage, -and It was, brought to the attention of the finance committee that in each case the government waa selecting the less re sponsible person to look to- for the tax; was permitting, and, in fact, compelling, a tenant and a mortgagor to withhold 1 per cent of the full amount of rent or Interest from the person entitled to the same for a full six months subsequent to the close 01 tne calendar year, during which he rent or the Interest accrued and was payable. This in spite of the fact that by reason. of taxes,, interest and other-deductions, to whlfth the tax. payer was entitled,- his actual income tax amounted to but a small percentage of the 1 per cent upon the gross amount which had been held out by his tenant or tenants or borrowers on mortgage. Instanoes are not wnoommon of land owner having gross income of $50,000, out of which nls tenant or tenants would dedtfet and 'withhold the sum- of $500 (which sum it will be recalled is to be withheld for. si months, following the close of the calendar year, 'When all ot the rent was dua) : .
