"The Evening Telegram grew so fast that it was compelled to move to more commodious quarters and occupies that building once known as the Portland Hotel, which ceased to be a hostelry in 1953. The Telegram utilizes the entire building which is proof sufficient of its prosperity. "The Guide, a little sheet devoted to general information for the public is still published by a gentleman, named Stuart, and gives out correct data as in years gone by. "Much of the good in Socialism has been incorporated in the politics of the state, and the objectionable part of the doctrines were eschewed. The best ideas of all parties now enter into politics, which goes to show that there was good in all. "One-half of the police force are women, who dress in uniform and there is a day shift and a night shift of these women police, and the idea works well. "Owing to sanitary conditions somewhat, but rather to a change of mind and morals, there is comparatively little sickness now prevailing in Oregon. Ever since the year 1933, when the State of Oregon passed a bill making it a criminal offense for anyone to recommend or prescribe deleterious drugs in the cure of diseases, the number of doctors using medicines have fallen off and drug stores are no longer run under that name, and the health of young and old has wonderfully improved. The science of curing broken limbs still continues to be practiced but these surgeons acknowledge that drugs and medicines have lost their potency as a curative agent.

"The ladies dress in more of an Oriental style which is very becoming and which allows them more individuality of design. "The men and boys have gone back to the old Knickerbocker style of dress and they look very natty in their new attire. "One never sees a horse any more and that species of animal is well nigh extinct. To be sure, there are some to be found at the city parks and they are as much fondled and caressed by the youthful visitor there as was the pet lamb that Mary took to school. The horses' day as a beast of burden is over, thank God. "There are but few of the old stock of Indians left and these are very proud. Much is being made of them by the whites, who look up to them as being the 'First families of America.' Their numbers are few and there is an effort being exerted to preserve and propagate what is left of them. "There is a sprinkle of Chinese and Japanese in the city but the little people have long since passed the stage of 'undesirables.' They, too, have had a change of heart and have stopped all their objectionable ways and have become as good citizens as those of the 'most favored nation.'
