ROAD INTO ALASKA
Plan for Line From Resur
rection Bay to Rampart
SURVEY OUTFIT IN PORTLAND
Permanent Location to Be 3Inde This
Year "Will Traverse Agricultu
ral Valleys as "Well as
Mineral Regions'.
"W. G. Atwood, division engineer of the
Alaska Central Railroad Company, which
was recently incorporated in the State of
Washington, to build a railway -between
Resurrection Bay and Rampart City, was
In Portland yesterday making arrange
ments for taking a eurveylng crew north
to make permanent location of the line.
He will leave Seattle next Sunday and get
Into Dawson before the ice breaks up.
There he will ascertain what It will be
necessary to take In and what can be pur
chased to better advantage on the ground.
He will telegraph out the result of his
Inquiry, and the men to follow him will
take In the supplies. He expects to be
able to buy horses at Dawson cheaper
than he could take the animals in.
Mr. Atwood came to Portland to com
pare prices of supplies here with the
quotations in Seattle. He said last night
that the prices on most articles were
about the same In the two cities, but
Portland was lower on a few, and could
supply some of the necessary articles that
cpuld not be obtained In Seattle.
A reconnolssance of the route of the pro
posed railroad was mad last season, and
the record of It has been filed in the
Interior Department at Washington, leav
ing the company a year within which to
make the permanent location of the line.
And etlll another survey of the route
will be necessary before the track will be
accurately placed. The route will be di
vided into four sections for this year's
work, and Mr. Atwood will be in charge
of the most northerly division. This will
reach from Rampart City in a southerly
direction to the crossing of the Tanana,
a distance of about 125 miles, according
to the reconnotesance. Next to that will
, come the division reaching to the pum
mlt of the range, which Is inly 2800 feet
above the sea. Between the summit and
a point near the mouth of the Sushltna
River will be the third section, and the
fourth section, numbering from the in
terior, will be that .reaching across the
peninsula from the Sushltna to Resur
rection Bay.
For the past four yeans Mr. Atwood has
been In the Yukon country as deputy min
eral surveyor. Before that time he was
assistant city engineer of Chicago. He
will have a crew of 10 or 12 men with him
through the season. Each of the other
division engineers will have a similar
force, and then Chief Engineer C. M. An
derson, with a relay crew, will pass back
and forth over the entire line, looking
after thr. general progress of the work
and reinforcing weak points.
. Mr. Atwood has no doubt that the rail
road project Is feasible, though It will
cost a lot of money. The capital of the
corporation Is 530,000,000. and enough Is im
mediately available to bear the expense
of the survey. The proposed road will
cross the valley of the Tanana and for
many miles follow the Sushltna. These
are the chief agricultural sections of Al
aska, and they are said to be capable of
large production of vegetables and ce-
reals. The Yukon Valley does not get
the sun long enough to mature crops.
Aside from those valleys and the Imme
diate coast flat, the resources of the re
g'on to be traversed by this railroad are
mineral, chiefly gold and ..copper.
Resurrection Bay Is said to be one of
the best harbors in Alaska, the tides be
ing low and the harbor land-locked, and
the water deep. And, what is equally Im
portant from a railroad, point of view, the
approach from the interior Is easy. Val
des does not enjoy this advantage There
Is as yet no wharf In Resurrection Bay,
but the Alaska Central Railway Company
expects to build one there this year. The
road to be built will be of standard
gauge, and its length is not expected to
be more than 500 miles, though the recon
noissance made the distance 570 miles. It
Is likely that the company will ask Con
gress for a land grant.
ROUTING OP FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
Santa Fe May Not Comply WItli In
terstate Commission's Ruling.
LOS ANGELES, April 29. President E.
P. Ripley Is quoted as saying that the
Santa Fe Railroad will probably not com
ply with the recent ruling of the Inter
state Commerce Commission in the Los
Angeles citrus fruit case, in which it was
held that the practice of the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific Railroads of taking
'lnto their own hands the matter of select
J ing' the route by which fruit shipments
from Southern California to the East shall
be sent. Is Illegal.
"Our course In regard to the ruling of
th Interstate Commerce Commission in
the citrus fruit case will depend on what
the lawyers aavlse," said Mr. Ripley. "I
do not expect that we will comply with
the ruling, but will let the courts decide
whether we are right or if the fruit-shippers
are right. We cannot comply with
this ruling and continue to handle the
fruit business. Before the railroads
adopted the system of routing shipments
the business was in a constant state of
demoralization. Shippers were In the habit
of ser.dlnr their fruit over any road whose
overzealous agents would give them a
few dollars rebate on each car, and we
must either cut rates to meet that sort of
competition or give up handling the busi
ness if we do not take the routing into
our own hands."
NO LINE YET DECIDED ON.
P. C. fc O. Ry. Co. Still Examining
Routes to Upper Clackamas,
President W. H. Hurlburt, of the Port
land City & Oregon Railway Company,
was yesterday asked about the truth or
the rumor that his company had decided
to build its projected extension to its
power site on the Clackamas River, on
the route from Lents through Gresham
and Eagle Creek. Mr. Hurlburt said the
report was erroneous. He presumed it
had grown out of the fact that the com
pany's surveyors had made a pretty care
ful examination of that country, and had
surveyed a preliminary line on that route,
but it had not been found satisfactory,
he said.
"We have also examined other routes,"
continued President Hurlburt, "and we
are not yet through with our examina
tion of the country. Within 10 days we
shall send a surveying crew up the Aber
nethy Creek, which empties Into the Wil
lamette at Oregon City, to see what kind
of a line can be obtained there. We shall
use the most feasible route, but this can
not be determined before all shall have
been examined. After the preliminary
lines are run, and we have data to war
rant conclusions, we shall decide where
the extension will go. Something will
depend upon the attitude of the people,
however, as well as upon the purely engi
neering features of the line."
DENVER-SALT LAKE ROAD.
Money Has Been Secured for the
Moffatt Line.
DENVER, April 29. A telegram from
David H. Moffatt. In New York, authorized
the Denver representatives of " the Den
ver & Northwestern Railway to commence
the distribution of the pamphlet making
announcement in detail of the plans of the
railway and the resources along the route.
The pamphlet comprises 37 pages and has
been used by Mr. Moffatt in New York in
Informing capitalists on the subject. Now
Mr. Moffatt has the money necessary for
the great undertaking. The amount is
placed at $23,000,000 or $24,000,000. Mr. Mof
fatt individually has underwritten a ma
jority of the bonds, and Senator W. A.
Clark Is one of the principal names upon
the remainder of the money.
It Is announced officially from the head
quarters of the company that the road Is
to be built. Owing to the large amount
of rock, it is estimated that 24 years'
time will be required. Five surveying par
ties of the Moffatt road are now in the
field, and others will be sent out when the
snow disappears and it Is possible for out
door work to be carried forward. A pre
liminary survey has been made ovx the
entire route, showing that the distance
between Denver and Salt Lake can be
covered in 505 miles.
It is announced that work will be com
menced on a large scale by August 1, and
the first 100 miles of road will be built
from Denver westward. Work will also
be prosecuted from the Salt Lake end, and
perhaps at different points intermediate.
Roclc Island System Divided.
CHICAGO, April 29. The management
of the Rock Island road has made a ma
terial change in the plan of operation of

the company's lines. Hereafter, the sys
tem will be divided at the Missouri River.
The lines east will be known as the Rock
Island line, east of the Missouri River,
and the lines west as the Rock Island
lines west of the Missouri River. Each
grand division will have Its separate oper
ating officials, who will be under the di
rect charge of General Manager Goodnow.
In pursuance of the plan, the lines west
of the river have been placed in charge
of H. S. Cable, who has been made gen
eral superintendent, with headquarters at
Topeka. William M. Hobbs, who former
ly held the title of general superintendent
of the entire system, will hereafter be
general superintendent of the lines east
of the Missouri River, with headquarters
in Chicago.
Nerr Mnp of 'the Northwest.
The traffic department of the O. R. &
N. Co. has just published a revised edition
of its well-known map of the Pacific
Northwest, covering the southern half
of the Province of British Columbia,
reaching eastward to Livingston, Mont.,
and southward to Salt Lake City, Utah,
and Eureka, Cal., and Including, of course,
all of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. All
the important natural features of contour
and relief are clearly shown, railroad lines
are accurately located, and Government
forest reserves, National parks and Indian
reservations are Indicated. Wagon roads
are shown In regions not served by rail
roads. All county lines are traced. The
map is in five colors, and its size Is 12x52
Inches, a scale large "enough to show all
features clearly. As is quite exceptional
with railroad maps, this one gives the
accurate location of the O. R. & N. lines
as well as -at the other railroads of this
territory- General Passenger Agent Craig
gave personal attention to the revision of
this map, ' 'and it Is a trustworthy and
convenient work. Reference Is not for
gotten to the virtues of the O. R. & N.
rail and water lines as traffic-carriers.

Harrlman In the Mexican National.
NEW YORK, April 29. The composition
of the board of directors of the new Na
tional Railway Company of Mexico, which
recently took over the Mexican National
Railway, made public today, seems to
indicate that the Harrlman interests have
secured control, ,or at least a dominating
interest In the property. Among the new
American directors are E. H. Harrlman,
president of the Southern Pacific Rail
way; George J. Gould, president of the
Missouri Pacific and W. B. Leeds, presi
dent of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific Snjfar Trust in Colorado.
GREELEY, Colo., April 29. The Weld
County Sugar Company controlled by the
Havemeyers, has bought 120 acres for
a factory at Greeley, and is negotiating
for another site at Eaton. At Greeley
the largest factory in the state will be
erected, and it will be ready to handle
this -year's crop If possible.
SITE FOR THE MONUMENT

Sub-Committee Recommends Mid

The sub-committee charged with the
duty of recommending a site for the
monument to the dead of the Second Ore
gon Regiment of volunteers, has selected
the middle of Sixth street, between the
Postofllce and the Portland Hotel. This
conclusion of the sub-committee was made
known yesterday in a letter from Its
chairman. Mayor H. S. Rowe, to Chair
man H. W. Scott, of the general commit

report will, go before the general commit

I est to the general public the matter Is
I here published while It has but the force
of a suggestion. In order that the general
committee may have the advantage of any
further or modifying suggestions that any
citizen may care to make before final ac-
1 tion shall be taken.
J In the first place it was intended that
the two sub-committees on site and on
design should pursue their work at the
same time. But the sub-committee on de
sign soon found that it would be neces
sary to determine the rite for the monu
ment before the design for It could be
intelligently chosen. Thereupon the sub
committee on site was set at work, as
appears In the correspondence following:
Chairman Scott's letter to the sub
committee on site was as follows:
Portland. Or.. April 22, 1002. Hon. H. S.
Howe My Dear Sir: You were appointed
chairman of a subcommittee to make examina
tion and report on site for monument to the
dead of the Second Oregon. Other members of
the subcommittee are General O. Summers,
Captain C E. McDonell, H. C. Campbell and
Ben Selling.
From Colonel Jackson, of the subcommittee
on design,! have received a statement, which
I Inclose.
May I ask you to take up with your sub
committee as soon as possible the selection of
elte, and report to me, as chairman of the
general committee, so that we may get the
work forward as soon and fast as practicable?
Yours very truly, H. W. SCOTT.
Colonel Jackson's letter referred to In
the foregoing letter of Mr. Scott Is ad fol
lows: Portland. April 21. 1002. Mr. Harvey Scott,
Chairman Monument Committee Dear Sir: The
subcommittee on design for monument to Sec
ond Oregon Volunteers met at my office and
considered the designs brought from artists In
San Francisco, by myself, and also letters from
i prominent sculptors and designers In other parts
of the United States procured by other mem
bers of the subcommittee. The sentiment of
most of the dc5lgners seemed to be that they
could not properly design a memorial monument
without knowing the location and surroundings,
as It would necessarily have to fit In its en
vironment. The subcommittee, therefore, decided
to report to you as chairman of the general
committee that they considered It essential to
obtaining a proper design that the location be
determined by the subcommittee having that
subject In charge before further steps are
taken to procure designs. The subcommittee
are also of opinion that to save expense it will
be advisable to select some good artist and
confide the matter to his good Judgment to pre
pare designs In detail, to be submitted to the
FOR REPRESENTATIVE
W. N. Jones, who was selected
Monday evening to succeed A. A.

The announcement of the selection of
the site was made In the following report
from Mayor H. S. Rowe,chairman of the

port: We have selected the center of Sixth Btreet,
between Morrison and Yamhill streets, between
the Portland Hotel and the Postofllce. We be
lieve that a space 25 feet in diameter will be
cufficlent, and as this Is a wide street. It will
leave a driveway on oach side of 124 feet.
If this Is not enough, the sidewalks on this
street are 15 feet wide, and five feet or more
could be taken off each side opposite the
monument and still leave sufficient sidewalk.
This would leave a driveway on each side at.
the monument of ITS feet" or more. . I ,encioaev
herewith two .blue prints, one showing the
monument round and the other oblong.
We trust that tbia selection will bo s&tlafac-.
tory to the general commltte. and that they
will give a decision quickly,- bo that the nec
essary arrangements can be made with the city
authorities for the un of the street for the
monument and the work pushed ahead as
quickly as possible, as the people seem to be
dissatisfied with the delay. In case the com
mittee are not satisfied with this selection, the
subcommittee on selection of site will be
pleased to take further action at any time.
I return herewith letter of Colonel Jackson
on this subject. Yours, respectfully,
H. S. ROWE,
Chairman Subcommittee on Monument Site.
The proposal to erect the monument In
such a place recalls the lines of Tenny
son's "Ode on the Death of the Duke of
Wellington." namely:

d-
now looking out particularly for some of
the Legislative candidates In several
counties where the fight has been cen
tered. INMAN DOES NOT RESIGN.
His Delay Places Democrats in an
Awkward Dilemma.
From the fact that R. D. Inman has
neither resigned his office as State Sen
ator nor accepted. the fusion nomination
for Mayor, Republican leaders conclude
that the Democrats are In a serious di
lemma. It Is to be presumed that In
man Indicated his willingness to take the
nomination for tlie Mayoralty before it
was formally given to him. It Is ,also
plain that Inman could not make the
race on the head of the city ticket with
out resigning the Senatorship. It is also
quite evident that he won't resign unless
he thinks he stands some show of win
ning at the election In June. This delay
leads the Republicans to believe "tfiat In
man is afraid of the Mayoralty fight.
Perhaps it is a case of a burnt child
fears the fire. In any event, the delay
Is doing the fusion cause no good, for it
Is an Indication of weakness and creates
a feeling of great uncertainty all along
the line. There Is one thing about the
situation that gives the Democrats trou
blethe following Judge Williams has will
stay with him. whatever happens, but
there is no telling what effect the cam
paign may hnve on some of the forces
Inman must count upon for support
Some of thpse who claim to know say
that Inman will eventually decline to
run against Judge Williams for the chief
magistracy of the city. As a matter of
fact, the Inman talk has died out at an
alarming rate, as. the heat of the conven
tion excitement has subsided. There are
a considerable number of men who hope
to secure appointments or other favors
under a Democratic administration who
are still talking vigorously for Inman,
but the rank and file, upon whom an
election depends, have lost about all their
Interest in the matter.
TO FILL TICKET VACANCIES.
Citizens' Managing Committee Meets
to Dlscnss Candidates.
An Informal meeting of members of the
citizens' managing committee was held at
headquarters in the Worcester block last
evening. It was stated that the meeting
had not been regularly called, and that
no business had been transacted. The
purpose of the meeting was to discuss
available candidates for the vacancies
caused by the resignations of J. A. Bush
man and Robert Krohn from the Legis
lative ticket. Krohn's resignation has
been accepted, and It is now probable that
Bushman's will be also. Bushman re
signed because he is head of a labor
union Interested In the sawmill strike,
and did not wish to be on the ticket
while ocepuylng that position. It was
thought that since the strike has been
settled Mx. Bushman would consent to
remain on the ticket. In view of the fact
that there are rumors of another strike,
the resignation will probably be left In
the hands of the committee and will be
accepted.
OUT FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE.
George R. Cameron Desires to Cling
to His Present Job.
A petition has been filed for the pur
pose of nominating George Cameron for.
Municipal Judge. Cameron Is the present
Incumbent of the office. There Is some
question as to the sufficiency of the peti
tion. The law requires that such a peti
tion shall be signed by "not less than 3
per cent of the electors of such electoral
district or county." Mr. Cameron's peti
tion does not bear the names of 3 per cent
of the electors or the municipal district,
but It Is claimed by his friends that the
law docs not apply to cities.
Cheap Democratic Trick.
The desperate straits to which the Dem
ocrats have been pushed for campaign
material is shown by a trick discovered
by Republican leaders yesterday. About
half a dozen Democrats are parading as
Republicans who are supporting Cham
berlain. They wear Chamberlain buttons
in conspicuous places, and after discuss
ing the situation with Republican friends
on the curbstone, they remark with a
tone of lndep6ndence: "Well, I've been a
Republican all my life, but I'm. going to
vote 'for Chamberlain," and then they
point significantly to the button.
Speaking of such an incident yesterday,
an oldtime Republican said: "That's
their usual style of politics. It's a trick
that has been tried so many times that it
doesn't catch any more votes than the
old shell game -does suckers.
Republican Clab Smoker.
The Totally enV Republican Club, of
South Portland" will meet Friday night in
TerwIlllger's'Hall for a rally and smoker.
Several prominent Republicans will give
addresses, amonc them Judge Henry E.
McGinn. Ji Ct Jameson. Dan J. Malarkey,
J. P. Flnley and others. The. club has
renounced Its "previous strong Simon alle

strongest in the city, numbering 300 mem
bers. There has been some talk among
fuslonlsts of breaking Up the mee'tlng; but
the members are forearmed against any
such attempt,
Republicans Are AroHsed.
According to Republicans who were at
Baker City when the Democrats opened
tneir political fight, the effect of the early
commencement of hostilities will be help
ful to the Republican -cause. It is said
that the Democratic demonstration has
served to unify the Republicans and
remove whatever discord there, may have
been. The effect Is, In other words, much
the same as an outside Interference In
a family row. While a man and wife will
sometimes have their little differences, as
soon as a third party attacks either or
both of them, they stand together against
the common enemy. By the time the ,
Democrats have swung aroundthe circle,
they will have eliminated nearly all fac
tional lines In the Republican party.
Denton County for Furnish.
W. E. Yates, a prominent attorney at
Corvallis, was In Portland yesterday. He
says that enthusiasm for the candidacy
of Mr. Furnish Is found among all the
Republicans In Benton County. Further- ;
more, there are a number of men In Ben
ton County who were personally ac
quainted with Mr. Furnish for years, and
who had many business dealings with
him. His high integrity and his accom
modating and courteous manner have J
won him the confidence and respect o!
the people by whom he Is best known.
In view of these facts. Chamberlain will
get but few Republican votes 'In Benton
County.
Many Furnish Buttons.
Herbert C. Smith, secretary of the Re
publican state central committee, has
filled orders for 25.000 Furnish buttons,
and still the demind continues, A Port
land' man who visited Amity, In Yamhill
County, yesterday, says that there were
ID men at the passenger depot, and 16 of
these wore Furnish buttons. The other
three men wore no campaign emblems.
At other towns along the railroad. Fur
nish buttons were so much more numer
ous than Chamberlain emblems as to
cause comment on the matter.
Republican Meeting Postponed.
The public meeting announced to take
place this evening in the pavilion tent
on East Market street and 'Grand avenue
has been postponed on account of the In
clement weather. This tent was put up
by the Roosevelt Republican Club. A
regular meeting will be held In the club's
quarters at 6SS Mllwaukle street, this
evening, for business purposes, and It Is
expected that a big meeting will be held
In the tent one week from this evening.
Political Notes.
Webster Holmes, an active young Dem
ocratic lawyer of Salem, was in Portland
yesterday, and paid the state headquar
ters a brief visit.
Governor T. T. Geer came down from
Salem yesterday morning and called on .a
number of his friends. He did not visit
Republican headquarters.
Ex-State Senator J. H. Smith, of Clatsop
County, was one of the prominent Demo
crats who called at Democratic headquar
ters yesterday. He was in conference with
the party leaders.
W. F. Butcher, Democratic nominee for
Congress, In the Second District, came
down from. Baker City yesterday evening,
and was In consultation with State Chair
man Sam White. He says he does not
know at .this time what part he will take
in the campaign during the next few
days.
DOG SHOW PLEASES.
Good Performances Delight More Big
Crowds.
The Norris & Rowe's big trained animal
shows had two large and well pleased
audiences yesterday. Since their last ap
pearance here, the show has grown In
proportion, their being many new animals
and more clever tricks performed than
ever before. Mr. Norris Is continually
training new animals, and his master
hand Is very noticeable. Probably the
best and most" striking fact of his ability
as an animal trainer Is in the perform
ance of the four seals. They crawl from
a cage, perch themselves on pedestals,
shake harids with their trainer, catch
rings, beat drums and perform feats that
are astonishing.
There is a olown pony, several real
clowns, a Zaza band, and other comical
features, which mingle In with the rest
of the show, in all, making the best ex
hibition ever given here by the Norris
& Rowe people. The final performance
will be given this evening at 8 o'clock.
Socialists to Canvass County.
SALEM. Or., April 29. At a meeting
held tonight, Marlon County Socialists
decided unanimously tc conduct an inde
pendent canvass of the county In the inter
est of their ticket. The campaign will
open about May 15. The Socialists desire,
to participate with the Republicans and
Democrats In a join canvass, but those
parties voted down a three-cornered cam
paign. Rev. J. Stit Wilson, of Chicago, former
lj a Methodist Minister, but now a Social
ist lecturer, will make a canvass of the
state in the Interest of the Socialist state
ticket.
St. Louis & Gulf Is Expanding.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 29. The
St Louis & Gulf Railway Company,
which was chartered by the Secretary of
Stjite the 18th of this month, with a capi
tal stock of $5,000,000, has absorbed eight
small railroads In Southeast Missouri,
thereby securing a line from St. Louis into

LODGE MEMBERS MEET "IN THEIR
FINE, NEW BUILDING.
Structure Forms a Model Home for.
the- Order Many Visitors Enter-
tulned at House-Wnrmlng.
The fine hall of the Woodmen of the
World, built by the Multnomah Hall As
sociation, composed mainly of members
of Multnomah Camp, No. 77, on East
Sixth, near East Washington street, was
opened to the public last night. This
camp has a -membership of nearly 10CO,
and out of these the hall association was
organized. The trustees and officers are
as follows: J. C. Jones, president: J. M.
Wood worth, secretary; H. H. Newhall,
treasurer: James Rudlman, J. L. Wells,
J. E. Hunt, J. M. McBrlde.
.For the building ground, C0x200 was se
cured for $1500. Plans for a fraternal
building were then prepared. It was to
be built primarily for lodges. For this
purpose a building 120 feet long and 55
feet wide was put up. The first 30 feet
fronting on East Sixth street is two
stories and the building, sits back from
the street about 20 feet. Extending across
the front Is a wide porch. Entrance is
through a vestibule, from which there
are doors leading to the reception "green
room," the office of th6 secretary and the
main hall; thete Is also a stairway ex
tending to the banquet hall on the sec
ond floor. This room Is 54x30 and pro
vided with lockers.
The "green" or reception-room is a very
beautiful apartment. It Is 20x16. The
carpet and walls are of green. On the
walls are the charters of the Multnomah
Camp, No. 77, and the Women of Wood
craft, together with engravings of prom
inent members of the orders. Leading
from the reception-room Is the lavatory.
For the main lodge and assembly hall a
space 54xS0 feet was set apart. Tills part
Is a single story, but the celling Is 21 feet
In the clear. The hall has been elegantly
furnished. A platform extends around
the sides and ends. Canopies have been
placed above the pedestals of the officers.
Handsome hardwood chairs have been
provided for the hall, and the desks of
the clerks are of the same material and
style. Electric lights and gas jets have
been provided.
For the opening last night the hall and
reception-rooms had been attractively
decorated. There were many potted
plants and ferns placed alongside the ped
estals, and flowers of many colors dec
orated the "green" room. With all the
lights turned on, the effect was striking
and brought out the Interior beauties of
the building to good effect. The banquet
hall on the second floor had been hand
somely decorated. Long tables for the
banquet had been prepared, and these
were attractively adorned with flowers.
At the opening last evening the rooms
were thronged with people, and many ex
pressions of admiration were hean for
the line fraternal home the Woodmen hid
built on the East Side. A concert was
given In the early part of the evening,
and the banquet was served at about 10
o'clock. Danclns followed afterwards.
There was a large force of the members
of the camps of Woodmen of the World
and Women of Woodcraft present to aid
In the entertainment, and altogether It
was one of the most successful events
that has ever been given on the East
Side. The property Is valued at about
$10,000. It Is a very creditable improve
ment for the East Side.
