lrge numbers of Portland people have never before experienced the condi
. t ions that exist In Portland. Here Is a city which: : Is' population, is almost
, equally divided by a large, navigable river, fiut the business of the city Is nearly
U1 transacted on one side of that stream. Therefore It I necessary for nearly
one-quarter , of its population, Inhabiting a eecUon at least 10 miles in length
from north is south, to cross the river every work day of the year to reach their
' various places of business or employment. But Xour streets, as It were, are
opened over' that unfordabls nature's highway, and. of oourte, these streets are
j crowd,, as thsy would anywhers else, did 10.000 persons have to pass
! through them within S few hours of the morning or from, say, I to 7 O'elook of
I the afternoon. And they will beeoms more crowded as the city Increases In pop
, vtatlon, becauss (ram now on that Increase must, - of necessity, be very largely
cooflned to the east, or "worhlngman's" part of Portland. There Is Uttls deslr
able residence property on the west side of the WiUamette that Is not held at
too high a figure for the mas of moderate means to buy and improve, so there
is lttle else to do at' this Juncture than to gracefully, face the situation that, is
ts soon make East Portland the most populous of the two divisions of the town,
and bow to the inevitable tribulation that will follow In its wake.1
. f Possibly masters of river craft are not the men best adapted to relinquishing
personet conveniences or personal Interests for ths public good and comfortt but.
If thsy were, relief for ths ajnictions that beset those who complain of the fre
quent delays In reaching. employment and places of business, from open bridges,
will never corns through ths closing of the draws at any stated Intervals. If It
i were possible for every person crossing the bridges In the morning and the
evening hours to deposit ballot In boxes prepared for, that purpose at ths snds
of the bridges. Indicating his oa-her choice as to the parttoular, hours the draws
should remain closed, it Is not likely that M per cent of them would agree upon
any time; Again, If they did. it is not timely that the "War iCepartmertt will ever
diminish Its broad conception of the Importance of the' great commerce of .Port
land Sufficiently to consent to the Imprisonment of Its water craft Washington
does'W vlew these things with puny eyes, and The Journal feels quite confident

the gates sre opened, street car are, in nine caaes out of tent compelled fo crawl

vehicle that emulates ths Snail. If the electric cars could go at full speed up to
the draw, and, when the gates are opened, hasten stonf to Ihelr destination, but
small Inconvenience and delay would be entailed by steamboat traffic.
' East-Bide oitlsens should circulate petitions to ths County Commissioners pray

I PORTLAND, - April n. Te the jour-
aal. Some Important considerations en
ter into the question of selecting s site
tor the exposition, the first of which is
proximity to the center of population.
Finasoiei success or taiiurs depends upon
ths Judgment ef the committee in this
respect. t is pretty sure that the gate
fecelpts will be in proportion to the dis
tance. Portland, unlike moat cities; has a
treat area of vacant acreage close to
the eenter of population. Had Buffalo
this advantage, she would have suffered
no .financial, failure. 4 . ... ,
I Not less important to ths city, and even
to the state-at large, is a convenient
ground oehtraity located.- Here1oth the
city and the, commonwealth may erect
permanent . buildings to commemorate
the historical events, and, mors than this,

x The question resolves Itself Into this
proposition, vis.: What point In the city
Is most central and convenient, available
as a permanent resort for travelers an
visitors to a great city and a great state?
Speculation in land values is sure to
Incumber this question, and may not be
eliminated, but It Is worth while to con
sider that no one suspects Mr. Ladd of
booming his property, Snd It is logical
to presume that most of the votes for his
field knd Hawthorn Park are oni inter
ested In the public Utilities.
There Is no doubt but that Mr. Ladd
would donate a few' acres "to the city

the opportunity of associating their
