This issue of the Polytechnic Maid is devoted largely to the consideration of Oregon, its beauties and its resources. We do not wish to imply that We have exhausted the subject or even touched upon it fully, for it is one of great possibilities, but as Maids, we have done oIIr best. EDITII GAUTsCHI. Portland Portland, the largest city i1I Oregon, has become a true metropolis with an abundant supply of water from a mountain stream, an art museum, a great public library, excellent schools, beautiful homes, flourishing newspapers and fine business houses. The World's Fair held here iII 1905 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Lewis and Clark's journey across the continent at- tended as it was by multitudes from all parts of the country, made the beauties and commercial advantages of Portland Widely known. The heights around the city and the Willainette River which flows through it are comparably beautiful, while tlIe citizens have added a singular charm by cultivating roses which flourish here in great luxuriance. Enthusiasts have named Portland the 'tRose City not inappropriately, and aipleasing event of each year is the Rose Festival, celebrated in the lovely days of early June, which attracts throngs of visitors to Witness the display of beautiful flowers.

241 TH1zPoLv1'EcHN1c Main Happy Valley Several miles from Portland is a beautiful valley, a mile in length, which is surrounded by hills that have many large fir trees on them. Looking down into the valley in springtime, you may see many fruit trees blossoming and acres of berry bushes with their new branches, also the green growing gram and clover fields and many pieces of plowed land. There are several roads leading into the valley in which there are about forty houses and barns. A church and school are close to the main road. Leading through the centre of the valley is a small stream of water be- ginning from several springs that flow the year round. Scattered about in the valley are small groves of fir trees and many lovely wild flowers. The valley IS so attractive and beautiful that all who visit there will agree that it has been rightly named Happy Valley. ESTHER BECKER, English 1, Springtime in the Oregon Woods On the way home from school one afternoon, I thought I would see how many of our trees, shrubs and flowers, both wild and cultivated, I could name. So taking a stroll through the yard and up into woods through which I used to go on my way to grade school, I found dogwood, alder, cedar, fir, and maple trees, all in their early spring splendor. The ground was covered with fresh moss, grass and ferns, making the woods most beautiful. Here and there I found scattered, beautiful wild flow- ers, such as trilliums, mayflowers, chickadees or spring queens, and violets, both yellow and blue. As I passed along where the land is a little low I saw the dotted yellow of the skunk cabbage, which is bright and pretty, although it is not so fragrant as other members of the family. As I was in search of trilliums I went up through the woods. I did not expect to find very many as the country has been built up. Nevertheless I found just as many usual. As it was a little early for the trilliums they were smaller and had shorter stems. Later 011 they will be larger and the stems will be longer. I also found the Oregon Grape and wild currant in full bloom. The hazel had shed its bloom and was now ready to set the nuts. The pussy willows had lost the beauty of early spring. The ocean spray, commonly known as white tassel, and mock orange were just beginning to show their heads. On my return I glanced down by the creek a11d saw the giant white ash iilld the beautiful vine maple which guard the swimming-hole. IIELEN Hawkins, English IV.
