Not long ago an eastern weekly
; printed a letter written by a young man
residing here,' who referred to the Ed-
lson plan for a model house with seat

trived that they would produce an even
temperature Inside the house, whether
y It be winter or summer. The Portland
letter writer said: "In short, Mr. Ed

The editor, commenting on this, com

, In the past le years tha population Of
Portland baa doubled and the 100,000
new comers are writing to their friends
to come too. They tell them that -roses
are In bloom In December, that . the
grass Is green not only at Christmas,
but the' year -around, and that blankets
are not. Infrequently necessary to. the
comfort of a sleeper on a July night.
- Time was. when, the viator complained
ofr our rainfall, but It Is pretty widely
understood now that- tha rains' purify
tha air and prevent disease. . The Or
egon farmer counts the rain in his as
sets. And, as the rain comes usually
when it is most needed, he is Justified I
In looking upon it as adding so many
$20 gold pleceav to his annual profits.
