This Could Be Done by Making Park
T Outside "the Sidewalks' Wider.y Thn
. feeaatlfying the Streets Wlthont In
v terfering With Trafle.' - "
(Vrom ' Thursday 's Daily.) .
;"The:tBiibjeet of street improvement is
very live one 'in falent just -at pres
ent nd all that stands ia the way "of
J Extensive, improvements, .is the heavy
expense, as every one Knows, aiem
has'" exceedingly wide f streets much
wider than Portland has. Because the
streets are wide' the cost' of paving is
great.';i In Portland a -movement is on
foot to widen the parks along the side
walks by taking off a few ieet from
eah side of the street. C This would
leave alt the room' that is needed in the
street for travel, make the streets more
beantifol becanse of ; the flowers and
shrubber.that could be grown ill. 'the
Wider parks," and, what is more impor
tant, would sednee the cost of street im
provement very materially. 1
TIow; the subject is-'viewed in Port
land'may be jndgel by the following
articlefrom a recent jssue-of The Ore
gonian,;hich artticte, p-rhais, is as ap-I-titable
in Salem as in"tbe metropolis:
,' A movement, has begun in Portland
.whose object is 9 to reform the paving
of 'streei in residence districts and at
the same time to iark that part of the
rwadway not actually used for traffic.
Briefly s'tated, the proposes! reform is
basod n the fact that, except In. the
business sections only about one half
of the space between Curbs is'nsed by
vehiles- It is held by those who have
wa.tehed traffic in other cities as well as
in our own that's driveway fwenty-four
feet wide is ample for all purposes.
."This reform is not theoretical. It
has been adopted In -several cities of the
middle west and Canada with more than
satisfactory results. Illustration in text
and piet u re of what has been accom
plished in theso cities was to be found
in The Sunday Oregon ian - yesterday.
For the views The Oregonian iB indebt
ed to Mr. E. A.'Kempe, a former resi
dent of Minneapolis, who has made
Portland nis. home, lie is a strong ad
vocate of the reform and has been doing
some quiet missionary work.
.'"It is likely that the movement will
soon ; take concrete lorm in Portland.
Property owners on Fourteenth street
have been conferring on the proposition
to park flat thoroughfare from Mont
gomery street to Burnside and make it
the handsomest street in the city, This
street is eighty feet wide, the side
walks take up twelve feet each, leaving
a roadway of fifty-six feet J With a
permanent roadway narrowed' to thirty
feet, there will remain thirteen feet on
each side to be sown to grass and plant
ed to trees. The prevalent idea is to
put out elms nine feet from the curb
and thirty feet apart.
' 'But most of Portland's streets are
sixty feet wide. : This cuts no figure .n
the "general proposition, say those who
have sees-streets f haVwidth parked."
Make the driveway twenty-four feet
wfde and .there will be eight feet at
either side for grass plot and row of
trees outside the, present curb line. To
the argument that" some residence
streets must, sooner or later, be. given
over to business there is offered the
answer tuat you needn't cross that
bridge until you eom'to it. The park
ing can men Pe aDandoned xor durable
pavement. , " s
"One phase will appeal to all prop
erty owners," namely, reduced cost of
street improvements. , The expense of
paving twenty-six feet, will be. about
one third less than for forty feet. Ad
vocates ot the reform see, as the out
come of the movement -and it will take
some years for fruition roadways of
permanent material in the better resi
dence districts replacing macadam,
which in winter is muddy and rn sum
mer dusty." Whether . the movement
shall become popular or not, the work
of those who are pioneering it will be
watched with interest.' '

' PORTLAND, Aog. 16. tTnless all in

congress,, which assembled
here today, will be" rent with dissension
before the congress is twenty-four hours
old. Utterly- antagonistic Views are
held by the delegations 'representing
Calif orn and i)tber .western states,
and those representing u Oregon and
Washington, on the suBjecVof Chineae-4
immigration. This tact nrst rjecam

emphatic dictum' to the effect that

Chinese - eoof iTnt-" th- Pacific coast
states'istoo high a pnee to payfor it.
and this he said, in effect would be the
result if exclusion laws were not ad
ministered with 'utmost stringency.
Though not so emphatic in his declara
tions, Governor Mead exprsrfed similar
view. Representatives -in. the Trans-
Mississippi congress from Oregon ann

developed territory makes 'them an -n-viting

William V. Wbeelwriirht. president
of the Portland Chamber of Cmmercet
spoke as follows: r
. Good Economics and Good Moral.
'Th word congress, in its usuaf ac
ceptation,, means the law-making pow
ers of ' the nation; and'evenin that
sense it is not, inappropriate that it
should be applied to this 'association,
for next to agriculture, .commerce is
the source of a nation-s wealth and
power, and therefore .'commerce ' has
much to do in suggesting the passage
of laws." And there' is.no troth more
Unquestionable than that 'gool econ
omics are consonant with gool morals,
s that wise laws are enacted for the
preservation and development of a na
tion morals, ?Therefore Jhi' congress
meets to perform a great national dnty:
to consider the rreat' questions of the
coustry ' growth and development and
to-reeoninjcni. to tne. congress of the
United States a. course of leeislation
that shall stimulate that : growth and
enlarge that development aatil it shall
reach the .full, measure of the stature
of. the greatet and most enlightened
nation on the fare of the earth. .
"We need new laws, we need a just
enfortement of all laws, both new and
old; we need a new j-olicy in. onr treat
ment of foreign nations that will grant
the weak every privilege that .we yield
to the strong, and more than all. we
need an awakening of public conscience
to keep this great nation in the path
of Vectitodo and honor.' '"" 'i'' .
'And so I appeal to yon, i a your
deliberations o regard principles as
well ai licies, to observe the rule
of -ethics as" well as the consideration
of'business, to look Uon the greatest
good to the greatest number and simple
justice t o all men, as J he end and aim
of. enlightened . government.' ?-
. f Mutuality of Interests. ... .
Presidest Henry M. Cake of . the
Commercial -Club of -Portland, before
the. Trans-Mississippi. Congress at Port
land, said in part;
'integral parts of a great nation,
one people nailer one flag with a com
mon destiny, the states representel
here.tolay are dependent; fori, their
growth and prosperity upon the energy
and spirit of their citizenship, and are
bound together " by " the mutnality of
their interests. Only- in the dielpful
and continued eo-operat ion of all can
they successfully overcome the handi
cap" of eastern I wealth and" influence,
and secure their proper recognition in
the parceling out of national. appro
priations. Only in united and harmon
ious effort can we secure protection
from the encroachments of corporate
growth and maintain the integrity of
our citizenship against the degrading
influence of .cheap foreign labor and
secure that great .commercial and in
dustrial development we are destined
to have. ' We of the city of Portland
and the northwest look to the broad
minded men of the states here repre
sented for support in .securing the own
ing of the Colombia river, the great
inland waterway of the Oregon conn
try. In common effort we must seek
the reclamation and settlement . of
desert bind in the west and south, the
bettering of our economic condition
and the ojiening or tne markets of the
world .to our product . From this re
union we hope for. great results, closer
ties between the states here represent
ed, a broader and more lasting interest
on th part of all in the welfare of each
other.;''. '.'.-'""' ,""'
