"If the Interstate bridge was built open up aJlighway to southwestern Washington it was a wise act on the part of Portland and Multnomah county.

Splendid animals they were, blue ribboners any sort of company. The milk condensaries are encouraging the breeding of high grade stock, and the dairymen find it profitable to do so. "The grain exhibits were equal to any shown at any fair I ever visited. There was corn on exhibit so tall that I near had to look up twice to see the top of it. It was as big as any I ever saw in Iowa, where I was born.

The Chehalls track considered one of the fastest In the country." All the Portland excursionists came back delighted with their experience. Their willingness to advertise Portland was instant throughout the trip. One of the sights which would have startled Portlanders who know them best was the spectacle of H. Devers.

tbe various city departments has begun and within a few the taxpaylng publlo will have oppor tunity to observe the "economy" poli cies of the various city commissioners. While there has no announce ment as to a. detailed program of economy, it Is believed that this year the commissioners wiU scrutinise all estimates as never, before owing to the present war demands, end only those appropriations absolutely necessary will be allowed. Salaries Demand Attention Although Mayor Baker and-C. A.

Blgelow, commissioner of public affairs, have had experience In preparing and pruning budgets, this will be the new commission's first wrestling enatch with the estimates. Probably the biggest demand to be made will be for Increases in salaries of city employes. Already employes In all departments are asking for Increases for the present year end rumor has It that they are going to de mand more for next year. Just how the Increases can be granted without greatly enlarging the personal service Item la a question which has given all the commissioners worry. It may be.

however, that some of the city employes will be dropped and their pay distributed among those remaining. Petitions in for Ughts Owing to the many requests for arc lights the appropriation for this may have to be increased. The appropriation for lighting for the present fiscal year totalled approximately 8190,000, but there are many districts of the city where the lighting is considered poor and from which many petitions have come. A. Barbur.

commissioner of nub ile works, may ask for an appropri ation for a municipal paving repair plant. He says that such a plant Is needed and that repairs can be made much more economically by the city than under private contract, as the city has been doing for a number of years. He has been experimentinr for several weeks with a very small repair outfit and says that by the time the budget, is ready for consideration by the coil no' I he will have figures ready to show what the city can do as Compared to the prices and work of private concerns. Police Seduction Proposed The repair plant la nn't new however, it having been suggested eacn year for several years. Barbur says that now, however, with thes' maintenahce expiring on many miles i narasurface streets, somothfn should be done immediately.

is probable that the approprla-! tion for salaries in Barbur's depart ment ior ii8 win be cut materially, as Barbur has already reduced his numner or employes by more than 40 per- cent. Mayor Baker's nrortoseA cation of the police bureau probably win mean a reauction in the personal service there. There has been considerable comment concerning the DU" that mayor has declared that reductions will come. 1 Pire Stations to Be Improved The fire iburean nrnhaMv .1, for funds for the reconstruction of at least two fire stations. Repairs were made to the station at Sixteenth and simeis last year, but now that motor apparatus has been installed there, a more substantial structure is needed.

Plans for the reconstruction of this building have already been drawn by Lee Holden, battalion chief and building architect of the fire bureau. The fire chiefs declare that" they have tried for' several years to get a new building for the headquarters station at Fourth and Yamhill streets and' are going to try again this year. Two years ago an appropriation was allowed for the reconstruction of the present headquarters building, but the appropriation was cancelled before any of it was expended. Ho Other Demands Bxpected Other than those heretofore mentioned there probably will be no other big demands made, the estimates being almost wholly for maintenance and operation. The budget estimates must be filed with Pan Kellaher, commissioner of finance, before October 1, and adopted by the council before the third Monday in November.
