none has been more enjoyable than was
the Cobweb party given last evening by
Mrs. w. S. Myers, assisted by Mrs. DR..
Eshelman and Miss Lown, in honor of
the college boys now at home for the
holidays. The principal features of the
evening were the cobweb and the music
by the Mandolin and Guitar club.t The
guests were somewhat surprised on ar
irving to find the home of Mrs. Myers so
completely filed with ''cobwebs'' that
it was necessary to at once commence
work to remove them; and each one
finding one end of a thread of the web
labored diligently to clear it from a
large cobweb which ingeniously devised
and constructed under the supervision
of Miss Lown, was a gigantic represent
alton of a spiders home, composed of
long strings wound about the rooms,
furniture, electroliers, and tangled to-
gether in almost inextricable confusion.
Many hands made light work and an
hour of earnest effort completely demol-
ished the huge ENHANCEMENT and each
one had secured the prize fastened to
the end of their string. Then delicious
collation. was served on small tables
distributed throughout the rooms.

the Mandolin and Guitar club occupied
the remainder of the evening. Those

Special to THE CHRoNIcLE.J


Special to THE CHRoNIcLE.J
PORTLAND, Jan. 6.-Mr William S.
Ladd, the pioneer banker of Oregon,
died at his residence in this city at 9:1O
a. m., today after a very brief illness.
Mr.. Ladd has been one of the most pop
ular men on the whole Pacific coast, and
it is rare indeed to find a man of such
wide influence in the financial world so
highly esteemed as he has been by all
| his acquaintances, rich and poor alike,
for all of whom he had good counsel and
cheering words. He never oppressed
anybody, is the common expression to-
day; on the other hand his action has
literally sustained many a weak and
faltering enterprise.
Mr.. Ladd was born in Holland, VT,
Oct. 10th, 1926. His ancestors came to
America in 1923. He came to Oregon
via. the Isthmus in 1851. In 1854 he
married Miss Caroline A. Elliott of New
Hampshire. In 1859, in company with
G. E. Tilton he established the bank of
Ladd &, Tilton in Portland. The partner
ship was dissolved in 1880 with bills re-
ceivable amounting to $2,500,000. He
had large interests in the Oregon Iron
and Steel Co., o. r. and N.
Co., and other enterprises of
which Oregon is proud His family is
W. NJ. Ladd, member of the bank
firm; Chas. Elliott Ladd, Mrs. Henry
]. Corbett, and Mrs. Charles Pratt of
Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr.. Ladd endowed
the chair of practical theology in the
Presbyterian Theological seminary in
San Francisco with $4,000. TIE

also founded and fostered by his benev-
olent hand.

tage should take care of themselves in
the same way"
This is Portland view of the matter.
How can Portland ignore the justice of a
measure to open up to them region
such as the Inland Empire is to them !:
and has been for the past thirty years? =?
If the measure is defeated by Portland
influence this time. it is barely possible
that Portland may never again be
asked for any favor, or reciprocity in
business from the Inland Empire.

A few days ago she told Charlie at
dinner:

"When did you find that out? asked
Charlie.

never offered a word of apology"
tsOf course not" chuckled Charlie.
''But she smiled"

''Then smiled. You see that smile
produced smile in return"

'.That was reciprocity" said Mrs.
Charlie, ignoring the remark,
almost as satisfactory as if you had
slapped each other"

The state board of equalization have
increased the assessed valuation of the
thirty-one counties in the state from
$195 y604, 40 to $22s, 1893 ,e77, a clean raise
of $92, ,793, 1907. Wasco county comes in
for her share of the income to the
amount OF 1921 ,s79, and Sherman county
to the amount of 2,0s5. These are
legs the deductions for Indebtedness and
exemptions. Multnomah county has
been subject to the greatest raise, which
is SIC, ,S47, ,737. over her assessment made
by Mr.. Sears, the county assessor. This
equalization will be the source of a great
deal of kicking and censure of the equal
ization board, especially so on the as
sessment at face value of mortgages.

The Burlington Coming.
Itis currently rumored in Portland
railway circles that within two years
trains will be running over the Chicago,
Burlington 4 Quincy road into Portland.
The road is graded from Merino, Wyo.,
70 Boise next year. From Boise the
road Will run west to the Snake river,
where a spur will be run up to connect
with the Hunt system in Washington,
while the main line will run west and
connect with the Oregon Pacific. The
Burlington's coming to the coast does
net depend, however, upon it's purchase
OF the Oregon Pacific. If the Burling-
ton does not purchase the Hunt system
it will be built through Washington,
connecting with the Tacoma, Lake Park
and Columbia river surveys for the ex-
tension of which are now being made in
the Cascade mountains. This line is
will give that road an outlet to Puget
Sound. In Goldendale, they have high
hopes, according to the Sentinel, which
says: Herman .Beal, the locator for
1.-THE defunct Hunt system, is in the en-
ploy of the Burlington and will surely
remember this county, and the famous
Klickitat pass which was on his his
fayorite route from Wallula to Van
couver. This is the best chance Klicki-
tat now has for road. If the Burling-
ton pushes its way through to the sound
Kliekitat will quite likely secure road.
Everything looks favorable now
for a road through the country
in the near futnre." The Buffalo
Courier of the 3lst says: at is pre-.
dicted that in 1894 the Burlington will
be running trains into Portland, Oregon.
The road is now graded from Marion,
Wyoming, to the Idaho line, and will be
extended to Boise. From Boise the
road will run west to Snake river, where
a spur will be run up to connect with
the Hunt system in Washington, while
the main line will run west and connect
with the Oregon Pacific"
