Help to Build the Larch Mountain Trail by Attending the "Whirl of the World" at the Heilig Theatre Tuesday Evening Under the Auspices of the Progressive Business Men's Club.' OF EDUCATIONAL VALUE Vark Department Official' Admits ' TMtw of Sucn Collection Bat Bug fnti Difficulties Tnnt Aria. : ' Portland, Or., Feb. 12.- To the Edi tor f The Journal It lias occurred to the writer that no feature in connec tion with our park Improvements would be of more Keneral interest and of more educational value than a boUn- .. ical Karden of trees in one or more of our parks. Portland Is a cosmopolitan city her population is made up of people .from all states in the union and from most of the countries of the world; It would seem that, with the publicity . . the press undoubtedly would be willing to give, trees irom an the states, 11 .. not the entire world, could be obtained, by donation, for this purpose. In connection with such a movement, ' the individual donor or city should .1 have the trees dedicated to them, and - the trees at the proper time should be . suitably placarded not only with this fact, but with a brief outline as to tneir nature, use and indigeneity. t The only expense to the park ccpart- ment would bf the actual planting of . these trees. It is even possible the transportation companies would co-op-orate in conveying the trees that would , be brought from the outside. It would scarcely be necessary to more tlirn have It generally known that such :in undertaking was con templated before the park department . would be overwhelmed with olferings from which to select. "Wo all remember tha t Portland planted a rose at Oakland last year. And we also know the spirit in which the Oakland people reciprocated by planting their royal oak in Portland. No .harm can come from engendering . sentiment and kindly feelings between cities. Who knows what friendship between Seattle and Portland might spring up by tire exchange of a couple t of sprigs? ; Since the work has been started on a small scale, why not make it a real Institution and allow various cities to be represented and individuals as well? Could any time be more opportune than the present to start this in the best tree growing section of the world? It might be interesting to have ex pressioiis from other citizens. Yours very truly. CITIZEN. The above communication was re ferred to the park department and the - following reply was made by J. O. Con vill: Portland, Or., Feb. 19. To the .Ed itor of The Journal Dear Sir: A' bo tanical garden of trees certainly pos sesses an educational value In amount V difficult to calculate. The question has been agitated in other cities and park departments have found it un- - profitable to tsponser such an under taking for various reasons. Chief among these is the fact that the cost at first is considerable, while results . are not apparent much short of 10 years. As a consequence, generally it nan been impossible to obtain support sufficient to undertake an arboretum on a scale sufficient to Justify its ex istence. The best collections are us ually in connection with some educa- ' tional Institutions, or an endowment. Could such a thing be started in .Portland under the auspices of Reed - college, it would probably prove suc cessful. In a small way, the park de- fiartmcnt has already tried an exper ment of this kind on shrubbery at Mount Tabor park and on- roses at Peninsula park. Other cities have thought enough of the rose gardens to start a similar collection. ' Recently the park department classi fied 100 inquiries as to the names of shrubs and from that number found hut two people willing to go so far as Mount Tabor park to the fruticetum where a beginning has been made on the labeling and classification of shrubbery. Such an undertaking would take much time and money and would probably find little support, until the children had been taken care of by i playgrounds and swimming pools, ball fields, and so forth. Yours verv truly, J. O. CONVILU C. K. Henry Sues Provident Trust Co. Alleging that- the Provident Trust company of this city had defaulted in its interest on about $90,000 worth of its bonds held by him in June, 1914, and that he agreed to take in exchange all equity owned by the concern in t . properties scattered throughout the city, Charles K. Henry has filed suit i rn the federal court praying for re- r. formed deeds to the properties and ; . S1500 for unpaid taxes. In the suit he asserts that the com- : 'pany without his knowledge made the . . deeds to the properties read in such a manner that he-is liable for both taxes, mortgages and mortgage Interest against them when in fact he specific ally agreed that he was not to be sub ' Ject to them. v. - James B. Bradshaw, holder of a $10, .1 000 mortgage against some of the - property, Minnie Learned, another mortgage holder in the amount of $2850; the Ladd Investment company and several others who hold mortgages and equities in the properties Involved are numed as co-defendants. Henry charges that he agreed to relinquish the bonds for property be cause the company was practically Insolvent. The property consists of : . a large number of lots in Laurelhurst among other additions to Portland. Stockbrokers Are i Cleared of Crime 3, C. Wilson and B. A. Wllbrand Ac quitted In Cae of Conspiracy with - Bank Embezzler. - San Francisco, Cal.. Feb. 27. J. c. Wilson, B. A. Wllbrand and Peter P.
