Stewart. London. Ma U. P.) It costs mors to live In London today than it; conts to Hvs in New York. ! It costs nore to Uv in the omalltr i ltlfs andtOwns of England's province i than It cost to live In the cities and I towns f the Unite States. Cleveland, Kansas City, Pitufcurgr, ! Milwaukee, Dallas, Ban Francisco, ! 3 Portland, are cheaper places to live' i han Sheffield, Liverpool. Manchester, .' ;rull and Ena-lish cities like that. Nevertheless, Britishers returning todaf from the United States Insist ihelr country still la the cheaper tor the meases. Their mistake lies In the fact that the English do without many things Americana consider absolute necessities. Most such things are so high In England today that only pluto crats. can have them. Practically the . only exception In England's favor Is clothing, and even clothing la. high. A good sack suit, liigllsh fit, which used to cost $20, new sells for 122.59. The price la still rising. JTeod Staples J So are other prices. It Is not a gradual rise. Hardly a day passes that an advance of 6 or 10 per cent le not announced in tome staple. 'Beef Is 40 cents, mutton St. pork St, hardly any lamb Is to be had. the killing of calves is prohibited, bread 3 cents a two pound loaf, good butter 42 cents, tea 62 cents, very soft coal 17.80 a ton, anthracite I11.29T . Rentals axe about the same as In the TJnited States but 'Include nothing.. Cooking and lighting gas In a 6 room flat cannot be kept below $10 or $12 monthly. Telephone calls are 6 cents each. A flva mile-street car ride costs1 7 cents.. Cigars which would be dear In the Vnlted States at a nickel apiece, retail la England at 14 cents. ' j . Liquor Ooee TO. ; Th distilleries being used by the government for munition making, It Is predicted that whiskey which sold at it to 98. cents a bottle will soon retail at 12.40. : The Income tax lias risen until it is a fearful burden. It begins with in comes of 130 ($624) yearly. The as sessment increases more than propor tionately as the inceme grows larger. A man earning 12600 annually pays 88 -cents on every 14.80. If his income Is from invested capital Abe rate la much higher. - The net result Is that an English Tamlly, moving to America and con tlnulna to live accordlna- to the Ens Hsh standard, would have more 'money than at home, while an American fam ily moving to England and continuing .tot live according- to the American standard, would have materially less. 4 Mi i f 72 I p.

Dunlap, at Stavan Kr, Norway, In a dispatch to the de partment of commerce, says the ex ports of canned fish to the L'nlted States have fallen off 50 per cent within a year. This makes a decrease of practically 75 per cnt since 1914. By Marshall X. Dana. I want It distinctly understood that whatever is written here is not for the narrow-eyed Inhabitant of narrow streets that plpingly proclaims any enterprises for the outdoors as pica yunish, puny and peculatlve, nor for tha self complacent person who never climbs except with the help of an automobile engine, nor, lastly, for those who insist that too much has been don now for the Columbia river highway. For, as a matter of fact, the high way Is but the key that unlocks the scenic treasures of the Gorge of the Columbia. Wo have scarcely the first impression of the number and variety values and delights of these treasures. As the highway makes all other boulevards seem tame and domestic, so do the views and sensations that await on the rugged trails of the wild summits above make the great wonder way itself but an incident of a com pleted experience. One of these trails is a dream and an ambition. It will depart from the highway toward that dominating seven basaltic H lifi, iW1WJ3&Ji I : : lmmm. mxk' tea Q if 'W'Zi.w .

Our route began in an Orchard in which tha machines were parked and iea among trie trees where Dink and white apple blossoms mingled their gentie perrume with the balsam of the conifers above. Fred II. Klser. whe named St. Peter's Doma, and A. M' jriuey were the guides to J. P. Jaeger, chairman of the Ski eluh com mitte'e; Chester J. Hogue, president of the Oregon Trail club; Harold Wold, W. J. Hofmann, Fred W,Witham, M. 14. bralth. Harold C. Jones, Harry Jaeger, A. N. Green, Frank H. Flaming. G. B. Raymond and the writer. The ancient trail, narrowed by crowding, blossoming undergrowth and fallen firs, led upward by constantly sharp ening ascent, reaching and uslnr the bed of the tumbling stream whose noise we had been hearing, passing over the still deep snow teds of last winter and at last turning ud the slope of broken, loose lava detritus, whers every man chose his own route, looking enforcedly upward for mis siles and calling out hurriedly "rocks below" whenever his foot launched a boulder. One of these rollers came too qluck and too straight for Green and he was compelled to remain below nurslnT-a bruised knee. The day was splendidly dev. The GrlUey, as befits a physical director, was a most ambitious leader. Always over, never around, a rock face was his motto and those who cared to might follow with the uncertain aid of a rops in which I still have no con fidence and for which I continue to lack respect. .

Beacon Rock, a thousand feet high, was nan blended with lower objects, yet snow ing distinctly on its face the lines of the trail that is being built to Its sum mit on a 15 per cent grade at a cost of $10,000. The trail is to be ready for tha nubile in some 60 days. The trains, as serpent shapes, moved alona- both shores. Automobile sirens were heard through tha quiet apace, j yet tne auiomoDiiea incmacivca o. visible only as dots. The forests of firs showed as an earth carpet of moss. The bulk and tremendousness of the doms was strikingly apparent at this point of intimate view.

As there are uprisings so there must be descendlngs. Mountain top experi ences must end. We left the crest where in crevices of the rocks bloomed flowers of blue and pink and white and advanced to the nose of the ridge; The slender rope of cotton was at tached to the base of an inadequate bush and we were invited to descend. How doubly far it seemed down to i those 200-foot trees that looked like tha nan on a wooly coat! How thin the air! Even a thousand feet of it with nothing lnterventlng seamed a mighty poor foundation for stroll ing. How heartily voices rang out In imitation courage.

We had to do it again. band, you do the 'usual poetic thing in the face of sudden dissolution. Tou grunt. On the shoulder of the dome, 'till far above the ribbon-like Highway, we held our meeting and determined that the St. Peter's Dome trail must be built. With its thrilling heights and sheer descents, and tunneled approach to the utmost peak; with its supreme outlook, and Inspiration, it must bo built, that's all! t That business conditions are of a most optlmlstle tinge in Portland and .that the Portland Chamber of Com merce is playing a satisfactory role In the drama of progress were announced yesterday by William F. Woodward, newly elected vice-president of the Chamber. Mr. Woodward has had part in the activities of every commercial organi sation that has served the business in terests of Portland, and in reviewing their accomplishments he expresses ut most confidence in the plan of opera tion now being put into effect by the Portland chamber. "Cities are not built in a day. a , nonth or a year," said Mr. Woodward, "and when we think that all Portland has been built in less than 75 years, the result is astonishing. Portland's Growth Sapid. "Any of sua can name a dozen east ern cities where the evidence of hoary years of age cluster on their records, (hat sre not nearly so far advanced as Portland. ! "Every new, constructive force in any community, whether It be spirit ual, moral or material, has as a rule to paas through what might be termed steps of birth and growth. This msy be well Illustrated by the work of the Portland Chamber. of Commerce. My I memory turns back some twenty-odd years, when public spirited citizens first took up the task of correlating our native resources and bringing to bear upon them the concerted and un I selfish effort of the people of this city and state. Through- all the years that 1 have passed, there has been steady : progress. There have been years when 'progress has been scarcely noticeable; there have been temporary Set-backs 'and many disappointments; withal, there has been a plentiful supply, as was to be expected, of criticism, sar casm, skepticism or "knocking." But in spite of this, the hearts of our peo ple have been with the men who have honestly and earnestly endeavored to give that service which money can , neither buy nor pay for. Chamber Xas s Mission. "A year ago the new Chamber of -Commerce arose from the old Commer cial club and kindred organizations. It Came into being through the united ef fort of some 4000 of our citizens; it exists by their sufferance and through their goodwill, moral and material sup port. The yea,r has witnessed many changes in our city. We are passing from a period of buslneas depression into one of prosperity there can be no doubt of this and in this trans formation, the chamber has indeed played a worthy paft. Its officers, from the president to the humblest em ploye or member, have been imbued with the feeling that the chamber has a mission to fulfill and that mission can only be accomplished by united ancT unselfish cooperation. This has been given, with but few exceptions, in the fullest degree. "The year commences brightly. Our lumber Industry Is not awakening, it has awakened from a sleep born of de pression, and today, this, the greatest of our natural resources, promises to eclipse all previous eras In develop ment The building of ships, for those who go down to the sea, has always been associated with . commercial . su premacy.

A wise and proper discrimination in this line is necessary. Manifestly, there are cer tain types, or forms, of manufactured products which we cannot at this time absorb or make profitably.
