THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. JUIg 8, 1918. 16 T 0(1 SITE FOR DEPOT Harriman Interests Increase Holdings Where New Union Station Is Planned. EIGHT BLOCKS CONTROLLED Southern Pacific and Spokane, Port land Seattle Acquire Prop erty Valued at $50,000,000. Building to Start Soon. Purchase of two blocks of ground In the vicinity of the lte of the pro posed $2,000,000 Union Depot will prob ably be closed within the next 10 days, the buying agency being the Harriman system. Options on the property were secured a few days ago through J. W. Morrow, tax agent of the O.-W. R. & N. Company. The two blocks are valued at $900,000. The two blocks are bounded by Ninth, Tenth. Hoyt and Johnson streets and title Is held by six Individual owners. The only Improvement of a substantial character Is the brick warehouse of Clarke-Woodward Company, wholesale druggists, which occupies the quarter block at the southeast corner of Ninth and Hoyt streets. With the acquisition of this property by the Southern Pacific, the entire tier of eight blocks between Ninth and Tenth streets north of Hoyt street to the waterfront will be in control of the Hill and Harriman interests, the Spo kane. Portland & Seattle owning the six blocks directly north of Johnson street. Early Agreement Expected. That the purchase of the two blocks Is the last important step by the rail roads toward perfecting their plans for the erection of a new Union Depot to cost at least JJ.000.000 Is not denied by railroad men. Conferences heJd last week between Carl R. Gray, president of the Northern Pacific; E. E. Calvin, general manager of the Southern Pa cific: J. D. Farrell. head of the South ern Pacific lines in Oregon, and other officials add strength to the report that an early agreement will be reached In the Union Depot project. Enlarged shipping facilities. It is admitted, are greatly needed. Portlands rapid ex pansion during the last few years and prospects of a still greater growth make it Imperative to provide more space for the handling of both freight and passenger traffic In addition to the pending acquisi tion of the two blocks north of Hoyt street, the Southern Pacific has been negotiating for waterfront property at the foot of Eleventh. Twelfth and Thir teenth street. This property has a frontage on the river of about 900 feet and covers a large area. The property Is owned by the Northwest Improve ment Company and Is valued at $3,000. 000. In this vicinity the Spokane. Port land & Seattle controls a large section of waterfront and adjoining property. Railroad Iaerraae Holdings. When the two blocks north of Hoyt street are taken over by the Southern Pacific, the two railroad systems will own a solid area of ground north of Hoyt street and east of Twelfth street, bordering the waterfront. The com bined holdings of the two roads and the Northern Pacific Terminal Com pany Included In those limits will ag gregate a total of about 60 blocks, valued between $30,000,000 and $40,000. 000. The present holdings of the Spo kane, Portland & Seattle west of Elev enth street and the Vrospectlve pur chase by the Southern Pacific from the Northwest Improvement ' Company would bring the total value of the rail road property in that district up to approximately $60,000,000. Besides this activity the Hill and Harriman lines are making extensive improvements In the East Side ship ping district, where about $6,000,000 will be expended by the two roads dur ing the next two years. The Southern Pacific also plans to enlarge Its car shops on Holgate street, besides elec trifying its West Side lines into the city. In its electrical development, the Southern Pacific will acquire additional property on the West Side. Four blocks to provide for terminal facilities for the electric system will probably be added to the system"s city holdings. The carshops for the electric system will be established at Oswego. About $400,000 worth of material and , ma chinery has been assembled for the Oswego plant. SEWER TAX TO BE FOUGHT Property-Owners of North Alblna District Resist Assessment. Property owners In the Riverside ewer district in North Alblna will resist payment of the reassessment, and have employed R. C Dunlway to ' look after their Interests. At a meet ing of the property owners Friday night it was decided to ask each lot owner to contribute $1 a lot toward defraying the expenses of litigation. When the first assessment was made on the Riverside sewer district It amounted to $106 a lot, but owing to a strong protest this was reduced to $87.67 a lot by taking In additional territory, and the total assessment was $138,000. This reduction did not sat isfy the property owners, and they car ried the matter Into court. The case was tried before Judge Bradshaw, of The Dalles, and dismissed without tak ing evldenoe. The contention is that the sewer was pot properly constructed and that the cost is excessive. It Is claimed that the cost is 40 per cent higher than In some other sewer districts. The sewer was completed last year. Many property owners have paid In their assessments and others have . bonded their property, and those who have done neither hope for a reduction through the court.

"We havo In New York a great rep resentative, Tim Sullivan," said she, "who believes in our cause because he has seen our girls change from home makers into working women. He therefore thinks it but right that they should have a voice in the settlement of their new conditions. We have 7,000,000 working girls and women. At present men alone have the right to vote on their hours of work. Does that sound fair? "The principal objection, so far as I can gather. Is that it will unsex wom en, and make them like men.

There has been much speculation MAnnAina ih. r-tlnn nf the nresldlns: officer of the General Federation of Womans ciuds in not urinous u question of equal suffrage before the ......ti. Inst .rinxed at San Fran cisco. The reason for this course was furnished to one or tne rortiano. una women by Mrs. Foulk, of Flushing. Long Island. "The president of the Federation ruled that this question waa not ger mane to the work of the convention and ... hAirnnri thn KcoDe of subjects be fore the body," said Mrs. Foulk. "She took the floor and made explanation ot her action, saying that all clubs affil iated with the federation were not rep resented and It was known that some of these clubs, as organisations, were not in sympathy with the suffrage movement; that, moreover, there were those in the convention who were op posed to the Woman's Clubs taking up active work In this line, and that If the General Federation were to take up an aggressive position in the mat ter, many of these clubs would with draw their affiliation, thus putting themselves outside the influence of Federated sentiment. "In view of all these facts she felt that the equal suffrage movement would lose rather than gain by passing a measure decidedly endorsing it. as the present conditions are favorable to a gradual education and development in the knowledge of woman's political HELLO BILL! the Quality & Hrro B. p.

Mrs. Foulk felt that Mrs. Moore was wise In her view of the question, but also stated that the measure to Indorse the movement would have carried overwhelmingly If It had been brought before the convention. Appeal Made to Mm. Miss Hay told of the states where the suffrage issue- will be decided In the forthcoming elections, ending wtlh an appeal to the men of Oregon to "see to it that their great state fall Into line with California and Wash ington to make the three Pacific states unanimous in recognition of the intel ligence of women. - Mrs. William Grant Brown spoke of the suffrage question as It affected New York, and Mrs. Howard C.
