FOR THE STRICKEN rPHE state of New York has recently 1 purchased at a cost of 1223,000 two and one quarter grams of radium i to be ;niadet available free of charge to cnceir victims of the country. Ail suff ercri , from the disease, not be yond cuire, will be cared for at the Institution for the Study of Malignant Disease at Buffalo, an institution es stablisbid and controlled by the state of Newjyork, It Js said that Illinois may follow the example of New York. The, ' itate Tias entered : the - fight against cancer because of the Inability of most private physicians to purchase radium, ; Even the smallest quantity that ca i be purchased costs s 112,000, a figure beyond the reach of the average practitioner. Of the use of radium in cancer I cases, ijtr., II. n. Gaylord, director of the insltutlon at Buffalo, says: . Tho utefulnew of radium in the treat ment of neoplasm s is etill in. its Infancy, but there are already certain kinds of cancer : In which its use offers advan tages : and - the-- results obtained are an 'Improvement upon any means we have heretofore possessed. It must, however.' be remembered that our main reliance In the treatment . of. cancer is surgery. but radium In combination with surtrery frequently greatly Improves the prospect of cure, .'-- - -'.; ;v ;. ,, Canct r Is today the second most deadly disease in the United States, rating almost equally with tubercu losis.! f It. increases 25 per cent every 10 years, and collected a toll of 90,000 ; lives f Jj st year in this country, ' Purchase by the state of radium and Its usej In the Buffalo ' Institution is ..looked upon as a big step forward in ho fight to control cancer. Greater knowledge of the dread disease through, research will, undoubtedly bring s io light means of more ef fectively cdmbatlng It. ; :- The pre-eminence of America in the treatment of cancer will again be broughjt to the fore with the inaugur ation df state care. ; The radium used Is an American product, mined in Colorado, transported across the coun try In the form of carnotite ore to the extraction plant In New Jersey, where ...It Is reduced by fractional crystalliza tion.! !

That the port bill! proposes to give the Port of Portland commission, with out further vote or jany vote exclusively by the people of the port district, authority to' issue more than fl6,0C0i)00 in port bonds. That the j $16,0CO,000 in port bonds Issued portions of the 11000,000 in dock bonds which ibave been autnonzea by the people of Portland.

Guilds lake and Swan island districts by filling, the report of the engineer of the Committee lof Fifteen. which, is responsible for the so-called of 8 ?ents a cubic yard. The records of he Port of Portland Commission showj that 8 cents a cubic yard is a modest estimate for the field jwork only, and that the addition of shore work, bulkheads, booster service on pipe lines and contingencies, bring the total to at least 20 cents a cubic yard and the total (approximate cost of the fill to $8,000,0001 ; Both Tacoma and Tillamook are at the present tijne paying more than 20 cents a cubic yard jforj filling:; When the engineer of the Committee of Fifteen estimated thej expense to the public of acquiring the 1352 acres embodied in the-project i-he did the eminently i proper thing , of adding the assessed valuations of the several pareois and thus reached a fimire of ?i. 74325 for the ourchase oflreal estate. Now jit appears that an average of $3000 than ithe owners would consider fair compensation, and that $4J550,000 is a more 'practical figure to use in estimating the value of the real estate. ! I i Thje owners! of the Mocks bottom, Guilds lake and Swan island districts have j long held these tracts almost primarily' for speculative purposes. - A limited portion of the Guilds lake district has an actual industrial value. But the greater pari of this area is submerged, and, without reclamation totally Inutile. Mocks bottom has but one use. A railroad right of way traverses it,' the tracks supported by a fill. Swan island furnishes pasture for a limited numberjof cows. Otherwise tlon to navigation There is no prospect industry will reach and reclaim the areas within the next half century. The only (possible value pf the property, therefore, is that whieh. It win acquire undeif a bold policy jof public acquirement and development. ;The Committee of Ffifteen, of course, hopes that the establishing of Industrial, areas will returi that amount lof profit, at least, which is represented in the Increase of vajlue. But, in this the present owners, of the areas cannot jposcibly be Interested. :They have carried the property at the minimum assessment fos support of public administration. Tiat Justice will rest in any contention of theirs that they should have more" than the assessed valuation? And why should the public, after a purchase representing several tfmes the assessed valuation, be asked io carry the property until industry needs it? j Nothing is safd in the report on the of the very elaborate port facilities scheme be executed. But. in view (of ment, it can hardly be expected that previous municipal Investment In docks. ties s regarded as over-conservative. " ;j .:-:; ; j Some-consideration must be given the trust committed to a put lie body not only in the terms of the Swan island project but under the port bill, whicjh docs not mention the Swan Island project. The transactions in real estate would be enormous and the sums of money to be handled amount; to many millions. The bonding power, which it is proposed shall be 5 per cent of the assessed valuation of the port district or more than $16,000,000, is sup plemiented by the power of taxation which also is considerable,! i The value; cf ie cltys : previous investment in docks will be added, and, due to the Increase in the" cost of materials, the docks are worth 'more today than when built;-: ik ;r;v;;,H - "It may.bethat the Committee of cations of Its port project and legislative propTams at the time its report wasjsubmitted. Its members are all citizens of Portland who would share the financial burden involved .n work so great, and it is not to be expected that for" themselves or the city- at large they would wish to neglect 4 full defini tion lof M.he obligation to be assumed. i I 1$ the past Portland, awakened to ir-entv' has voted debt for docks and In each instance' the people knew Now they are asked to vest a small to the legislature only, with tremendous powers, of which it is hinted, not pledged, tnat tne swan island project The plan must jbe studied by every to return or to send other Customers willji be ; measurable In . dollars and cents. And to this end the plan of an junostenUtious automobile . sales man is cited. Not long ago the gasoline shortage hit ithe business of selling cars figur atively between the eyes. Almost synchronously the banks adopted the refusing to handle ' which means that uniform policy of automobile vpaperj loans with automobiles as , security were discontinued This particular salesman elt the depression as others. But he refused to be daunted. Instead of spending his! time trying t get cars for cus tomers that ceased, to crowd he began going back to car owners who had bought from him. I He revealed genu ine interest and soine technical knowl edge as he Inquired ' Into the opera tioii of the new motor, and whether It was, giving ) satisfaction. Pleased patrons reacted ' Instantly. He hrd so (impressed his, personality on their minds that they thought of him in his absence. jThey told him , of , friends who wished to buy cars. He found that the number of people who want automobiles had not lessened, but that they had I merely ,f been discouraged. Business began to come back to hlm because he capitalized the factor of service. ' This man' believes there is some homely common sense In the Scriptural . assertion that "He who woiuld have friends must show him self friendly." j i V - - . - t .

A few weeks ago Max H. Houser re eigned the presidency otj the Jort it Portland commission, retaining orals his status as a member jof Jhe com mission. The reason given by him was his disagreement with the Swan island port plan. ' He did not believe the port commission "ought to enter the real estate business.' A few days ago Ben Selling resigned as a mem ber of the dock commission. ; The reason ascribed for his lact was dis agreement with the Swan Island port plan. The public willj do well to ponder on the significance of these resignations, L i t ' A SEMAPHORIC EPISODE HE IS truly one of Portland's finest.

A BIG REALTY PROGRAM pkEVELOPMENT of Oregon's idle IS "acres is the chief Incentive which prompted a group of Portland realty dealers to join in a moyement for the organization of a farm Iand division of the national association of reales tate boards; Preliminary steps toward the nation-wide organization of deal ers in agricultural lands were taken at the anjiual convention of the na tional, association at Kansas City- in June. Organization of Ithe farm land division will be perfected at a meet ing of the executive committee of the national association at Denver on Sep tember 21. ;. Fred V, j German, president of the Portland realty board, board of governors of is one of the the farm land division and , the movement has the support of F. E. TaylorJ newly elected president of" the national association of real estate boards.1 Realtors of the middle, western and eastern states are no less enthusiastic in! their endorse ment of the work proposed, than are those of the Pacific coast. ' Every year.'several thousand ' farm ers migrate from the eastern slates to the vast agricultural - areas Ving west of the Rocky mountains.. Their choice of farm lands has not always been guideg by authentic information as to climatic and soil conditions and has often ;resulted-in disappointment and financial loss. Personal investi gation of land available; for settlement requires an outlay of time and money which the average settler can ill af ford, and one of the objects of the farm land division of the Realtors' association is to furnish reliable in formation ' at a minimum expense to the prospective purchaser. Plans outlined for the farm land di vision require the organization of realty dealers In every county in the United States, with a central organiza tion in each state which shall function as a clearing house of reliable inform ation and an aid to farmers entering or leaving the state orj changing loca tion within its borders; Cooperation of the federal department of agricul ture and state agricultural colleges will be urged In furnishlrjg accurate data as to soil analysis and climate conditions. j ,. .

It has adopted a prof 1 teer attitude" on the priccf of gasoline. -Governor Olcott and State Treasurer lloff are quoted in The Journal as . saying that the company has not violated the letter of the agreemenVby which ike, operation against it of the Oregon specific grav ity law was suspended.' But the com pany has violated . the spirit of the agreement and v has- vproveo Jtself un worthy of 4he consideration given It by Oregon's official administration. The law of Oregon requires that gasoline .-sold within j the state shall have a specif ie gravity test of not less than 50. While other oil compa- ft"- ri' nies continifed to serve gasoline of legal quality, . the Standard Oil com pany represented that the, fuer short age was. so acute it could serve either gasoline of 52 specific, gravity or none. In the emergency the official admin istration of the state winked at the" in troduction of the inferior gasoline, the price having been reduced at the same time from 27 to 25 cents a gallon, both "prices including the one cent state road tax The Standard Oil company is still serving gasoline of 52 specific gravity test. But it has increased the price from 25 to 29 jents. In other words, the corporation hav ing been given an inch takes a mile. It has acted without shadoy of moral right.
