Portland, 43 Years
Ago, Full of Fight

of 15,000 People with Ambition to
Get Ahead.
Forty-three years ago last Satur

"Portland was a city of 15,000."

cleared from, the site of Tacoma.
There was a mere handful at Seattle.
Where Spokane is was unbroken wil
derness. "I remember taking a trip up the
Columbia river very soon after I
came on the old "Daisy Ainsworth." i
met a post surgeon on the steamboat
and it was very entertaining to listen
to his recital of experiences in the
upper Columbia district. When we
reached The Dalles I told him 1
would go back, that I had reached
the borders of civilization and dll
not care to go farther.
"We saw on that trip Multnomah,
Horsetail and other of the waterfalls
along the river, and no one, least or
all myself, would have dreamed then
of a hard surfaced Columbia river
highway through the gorge.
"Portland with but 15,000 people
was, however, a town of enterprise
and its cltisens were filled with the
spirit of accomplishment. Had the
fighting spirit of those days been
mantalned the Pacific coast suprem
acy of Portland would now be for
ever beyond question."

MILK WHOLESALERS
RAISE PRICE; RETAIL
COST TO BE SAME
Later, However, Retailers,
Too, May Follow; Con
densers Partly Blamed.
The retail price of milk will net
rise in Portland, at least for the pres
ent, according to dealers this morn
ing. Th wholesale price has been
boosted from 7 to I cents by some
concerns, however, and others serve
notice that they will follow suit on
September 1. This rise Is attributed
to a scarcity of milk and the high
price paid the dairymen by con
densers. The condensers can afford
to pay more, say the local dealers, be
cause of the higher prices they in turn
receive.
The Portland Pure Milk and Cream
company raised its price on August
15. Of the cause. Robert Ireland,
manager, said this morning:
"The condensers had not com into
our territory before, but thy came
this spring, and w had to raise our
wholesale price in order to buy milk.
"High water this year caused a
great scarcity. The dairymen lost
their pasture lands and were forced to
feed their cows in other ways.
"This is a bad milk year. About 50
retailers have gone out of business re
cently. "There will not be a rise In th re
tail price now. There may be later, but
not for the present."
Robert G. Duncan, secretary of the
Retail Grocers asoclation, says there
will not be a rise in the retail price
now. "We cannot pass the rise on;"
he said. "There may be a rise later,
however, if the enormous demand for
canned milk continues. The European
countries send for large quantities of
the condensed product, and w shall
be forced to raise our price in order
to get enough milk, if their demand
grows to any great extent."
J. E. Schultz of the Willamette
Dairy company, voiced the same sen
timent: "The shortage has forced us
to raise our wholesale price. We
could hardly get enough milk to sup
ply our regular customers. But I
think th retail figure will remain as
It is."
R. P. Dear, of the Independent
Creamery company, and A. F. Work,
of Damascus, Joined with the others
in saying that the retail price would
not rise now. But they agreed with
the others that the sca'rclty of milk
because of the condensers and high
water, forced a rise In the whole
sale price.

The Mid-SVimmer Automobile show
of the Portland Automobile dealers,
at the Meier & Frank store, opened
this meriting, shortly before 11 o'clock
and before noon the coveted honor of
the first sale had been won by
Velie six.
The show Is a pretty one, the store's
decorators having expended a busy
week end in draping the basement
balcony and otherwise preparing the
place for the first summer display of au
tomobiles ever held in the city.
From the standpoint of the deal

the previous models, and also has an
improved body, with cowl lines

Columbia Beach Is
Again a Big Magnet
Attendant Sunday Estimated at ,
000 to 37,000; Bathing Faculties Are
Taxed to the XaUnlt.
Columbia Beach enjoyed another
"bumper crop" of pastlmers and pleas
ure seekers yesterday, exceeding the
mark of the previous Sunday by sev
eral thousand. The unofficial count
when the gates were checked up last
night showed an attendance of be
tween 26,000 and 27,000 for the day.
Facilities of the new bathing resort
were taxed to the limit to handle this
unprecedented throng and the street
car company was again overwhelmed
with the greatest traffic demand it
ever had on that line. Extra service
was maintained until nearly midnight
to move the last of the homeward
bound beach visitors.
And, once more, th "kiddles '
reigned supreme among the merry
makers. From the veriest tots in
swaddling clothes, the' youngsters held
forth in all their glory and furnished
great sport for the hundreds of kodak
fiends. The beach has become a
Mecca on Sundays for the camera men
and yesterday a battery of movie
operators were on hand and snapped
several hundred feet of film for their
"weekly news service" during the
height of the afternoon bathing period.
The amusement sone was swamped
by the crowds and the big grove on
the high, ground back from the beach
literally swarmed with family parties
all day long.
The camping reservation was an
other busy place, the week-end outing
parties who tfltched tents ther for
their vacation bringing the total popu
lation of the "tent city" up to nearly
1000.
During the coming week a number
of special evening events are sched
uled, one of the novel attractions be
ing th big barbecue on Thursday eve
ning when hot roast bef and lamb
sandwiches will be served free to the
beach visitors.

ENGINEERS CALL CITY
WATER POWER PLANT
SANDY POSSIBILITY
Preliminary Investigations
Show About 18,000 Horse
power Can Be Developed,
A water power plant capable of de
veloping about 18,000 horsepower, suf
ficient to care for all street lighting
in Portland for many years to come, Is
possible on the Sandy and Zig Zag
rivers, near Mount Hood, within the
Oregon forest reserve, according to
preliminary investigations made by en
g:r.eers of the water bureau.
Detailed surveys of the water shed
and streams tributary to the two
streams are being made by Ben Mor
row, an engineer of the water bureau,
and several assistants. The surveys
are expected to be completed by the
first of September.
Estimates were made several months
ago by men working under the direc
tion of Will H. Daly, commissioner of
public utilities, of the cost of a power
plant on the Bull Run river to be built
in connection with a large impounding
dam.
It was estimated that a power, plant
could be established there capable of
developing 6000 horsepower at a cost
of 3180 per horsepower. The proposed
nt-w project would be Independent of
the city's present water supply.
Th water rights to the Sandy and
Zig Zag rivers were given to the city
recently by Charles P. Churcn. He
filed on them about a year ago.
Plans and estimates for botn proj
ects are to be submitted to the city
council when compiled.
