reason it seems probable that there will be war with Mex

Statistics show that there were about 230,000 barrels of
beer less sold during the month of March this year than
during the same period in 1913. If Salem going dry pro
duces such an effect, what will happen when Portland
gets what is coming to her next November?

one.and the climate such that all kinds of greenery is pos
sible. It would be a splendid idea, where yet possible to
plant the parkings along the streets with the same kind
of trees. Some of the streets are already lined with fine
old trees, and these cannot be disturbed, but there &re,
many others where some system should be adopted iindi
followed by all on that street, we nouceu on uwjiy
street many young black walnuts planted in the parkings.
The tree is rather a slow grower, but is one of the hand
somest. All one has to do to realize this is to take a.look
at the magnificent old fellow on Church street near
Court. , '
It is of that kind Bryant had in mind when he wrbte:
"The groves were God's first temples." Liberty is prac
tically without trees in the parkings, south of Missfon,
and witli the start of walnuts all the balance of the prop
erty' owners should follow out the "color scheme" &nd
plant only black walnut.
Mission street is another that is still in shape for orna
menting, as it, too, is rather shy of trees. Here some defi
nite plan should be followed and walnut, or whatever tree
is selected, be made the one for all its parkings. In this
way a number of streets can be made, in a few years, ave
nues of beauty that will be a perennial delight.
The planting of roses in the parkings has but one bad
feature, and that is that it is almost impossible to get all
the property owners to take care of them after they are
once in place. South Commercial could be made very beau
.tiful with a border of roses, as those in front of the Hous
ton and Hofer residences so beautifully prove, but if a
part was neglected the whole scheme is spoiled.' With
trees, once they are started, they take care of themselves.
Titr oil monnc lor trio nrnnprtv nwnpi's nn snrh strets as are
not already planted to' shade trees adopt some tree andj
use it on the entire lengtn oi tne street, just imagine xne
effect in a few years when one could auto for a miltj or
more on Liberty between big walnut trees, or on Commer
cial between miles of pink-petaled and fragrant roses.
Then think of the other boulevards of oak, of ash, or ma
ple or whatever they might be. It would be- something
strangers would remember always and home folks be
proud to show.
Teddy having discovered the Amazon river, and son
Kermit having been ducked when a canoe upset, the
doughty Cel. is now coming home in triumph, and will no
doubt write a book tellingis all about it. Discovering a
river 1,000 miles long in a neighboring and friendly na
tion's territory is not a nice thing to do. It indicates that
our neighbors are careless letting a creek like that go un
discovered for 500 years and have a hated gringo come
along and find it for them. The find, though, should sim
plify the national political situation, for it suggests irre
sistibly the next presidential ticket. What more natural or
popular could be imagined than to link the two great Idis
coverers together, Teddy with a long-lost river in his
game bag and Cook with the north pole in his wigwam I
Roosevelt and Cook would make a great slogan, but then
most people would think the tail end of the ticket wa?

made by the Commercial club will
be, no one at this time can fore
tell. The railroads are doing notli-
njf in the line of improvement now
owing to a lack of finances, but the
coming summer will see many changes
made throughout the state. All ma
terial is on hand to electrify the Sa
lem, Falls City and Western railway
lino Irom ialls lily to bnlein, nlso
the Southern Pacific lino from White
son to Eugene. Mr. Tooze reports
that, tho president of the P., E. &
r:. liailway company informed him and
Mr. Taylor that probably during tho
coming summer, the electrification will
bo completed into Dallas, and that
Dallas will have at least two trains
each way between Dallas and Portland,
without any change at Oerliuger. Ac
cording to the present plans of the P.,
r.. & h. Railway company, and the
Southern Pacific, a new line will soon
be constructed from Salem to Portland
along the present sito of the main
trunk line of the Southern Pacific, giv-
' ing in effect a double track system
; between Salem and Portland. Trains
between Dallas and Portland will then
i run by way of Salem,' Woodburn and
Oregon City. It is believed that this
I will be the ultimate solution of the
j"mnin line for Dallas" problem.
; With this service, Dallas would ba
able to claim as fine railroad service
ns any city its size in the state, with
: the possible exception of a few towns
along t'ae main lines of the Southern
Pacitic and Oregon Electric.
I Mr. Tooze was assured that the rnil-
yroad officials realized fully the rather
poor service Dallas citizens were re
ceiving at this time, from tho stand
point of passenger accommodations, and
that the arrangements at present were
to be considered but temporary. That
iney also realize the importance of
Dallas as a big shipping center is a
well known fact, and from what he
learned in Portland yesterday, Mr.
Tooze is confident that within tho
nejt year the railroad service into aud
out of Dallas Will be so improved that
Dallas citizens will 2p,ve but little
cause of complaint. The railroad of
ficials seemed to appreciate deeply the
friendly interest Bhown by the Dallas
Commercial club in their proposed de
velopment, and seem inclined to favor
Dallas as much as is possible. Dallas
