Acres Being Cleared.
'PROVES GROWTH OF EAST SIDE
Sabnrbs Are Spending Mack Xoaey
la improving Property and
Batldlnff Homes.
More than 1000 acres ot land in the East
Side suburbs are being cleared for homes. !
."Work has commenced on the Simon tract
of' 160 acres, one mile east of Highland.
The owners will spend over $50,000 at the
start for clearing, streets and sewers be
fore any portion of the tract is offered
for sale. A street-car branch will bo
built along Alberta street to the tract
from the Portland Railway Company's
line. "Within a single month the whole
face of the tract has been changed In the
process of clearing, and elsewhere in this
neighborhood other land is being cleared
for Homebuilding.
In the Cycle tract, on the north side of
Sullivan's Gulch, $30,000 is being spent in
clearing, improving streets and laying
sewers. The owners of this tract are
making parks out of the streets. The
sidewalks will be of concrete, and space
will be left between the tralks and the
street for shrubbery and trees. The road
way will only be about 16 feet wide. A
car track will be laid to this tract in a
short time by the Portland Railway Com
pany. The land eastward as far as Twenty-eighth
street will be cleared and the
streets improved, including the old Cycle
Park grounds.
East of Sunnyside and south of the'
Base Line road the Title Guarantee &
Trust Company Is grading the streets and
filling up the low blocks. The Improve
ments In the tract will cost about $15,000.
East Thirty-eighth street connecting the
Base Line road -with Hawthorne avenue,
cuiung mruujiu una tract, it uciub un
proved. Already several handsome 'dwell
ings have been erected, and others are to
be built this season. Owners report that
many of the lots have been disposed of
for business purposes.
In tiie Southeast District.
The "Wills tract, east of the Ladd farm,
on the Milwaukle road, comprising about
200 acres of land. Is being cleared by the
owner, William 2L Ladd. This land lies
adjoining the big Ladd farm east of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. It has been in
a -wild, uncultivated state, mostly cov
ered with dead logs, stumps and under
brush,. A large gang of men is engaged in
clearing and burning rubbish. They
have a camp of several large tents
on the western margin of the land.
This work Is the beginning of operations
that will result In all the land through to
Mount Scott, through which the Gresham
.branch of the Oregon Water Power &
Railway Company is now being built, be
ing cleared. The district lies in a high and
commanding position, and Includes many
hundred acres of very fine land.
All about "Woodstock, Tremont and
Woodmere (formerly the Chicago tract),
clearing is in progress. Probably 300 acres
of land will be Improved In this district.
On the brow of the hill west from "Wood
stock nearly all the land has already been
cleared. At Ivanhoe and southward about
15 handsome dwellings have recently been
o?wtA1 rnsMnir from SIRflft in 12Wt PAr.h-
On the Foster road the whole district is
being cleared, and man new cottages are
being put up by George Wr. Brown and
others. All through this clearing the
foundations and frames of new houses
may be seen. Including those built at
Woodstock, Ivanhoe and in Tremont, and
in the district between Tremont and
Lents, over 50 dwellings are being com
pleted, representing an outlay of not less
than $100,000. The cost of clearing and other
improvements will not be under $100,000.
making a total of not less than $200,000
for buildings and land improvements in
the southeast district to Mount Scott.
Improvements on. the Peninsula.
On the Peninsula land is being rapidly
cleared from North Albina through to St.
Johns. At and near the new junction of
the City & Suburban Railway Company
on Ktlllngsworth avenue, two miles of
street improvements are under way, and
at least 100 acres of land is being cleared
for homcbullders. The underbrush and
stumps are being removed. A conserv
ative estimate would place the cost of
street improvements and clearing In this
vicinity at not less than $125,000.
All about St. Johns clearing of land is
in progress. In fact, several hundred
acres, included in the- new incorporation,
are being put in condition for Homebuild
ing. . On this kind of improvements prob
ably not less than $100,000 is being ex
ponded. A real estate man at University Park
said that 80 permits had been secured re
cently for that portion of the Peninsula,
and a corresponding number of dwellings
,are now under construction at University
Park and Portsmouth. These cost from
$500 to $3000. There is an extraordinary
building movement in this district.
The Columbia University has under con
templation the erection of a fine brick
structure this Summer on the campus
that will cost over $100,000, and will be a
"duplicate in some respects of the present
college structure. Besides this brick
building, a fine large dormitory is under
contemplation. Father Zahm. while in
Portland, announced that this structure
would be erected at an early date. Father
Zahm Is a high-class architect, and draws
the plans down to the minutest details of
the many college buildings, which are ad
juncts of the great Notre Dame institu
tion, of which he Is the head. Under
standing just what Is needed in a college
building, Father Zahm prefers to prepare
his own plans rather than undertake to
toll an architect what he wants done.
There has been some delay. It Is an
nounced, in the plans, owing to the fact
that Father Zahm was called to Rome.
Hvlitantly there will stand on the campus
before long an institution worthy of the
Catnollc Church and the Northwest.
"Worlc ou Haywood Club Building.
Work on the foundation of the two
story Haywood Club building, at Uni
versity Park, was started this week. It is
a two-story frame, 46x72 feet. On the
lowor floor there will be rooms for stores,
while the second floor will be for quar
ters of the Haywood Social Club. This
hall will be fitted up for theatrical per
formances. A stage, 20x46 feet, will be
provided, and there will be a gallery- The
seating capacity of the hall will be not
less than 500. J. B. Easter, president of
the club, says the organization will fur
nwh the hall In an elegant manner. The
cost of the building will be between $5000 I
and $55W. It will be completed and ready 1
for dedication about June 1.
Enlarge Portsmouth Sawmill.
The sawmill plant at Portsmouth, for
merly owned by the Cone Bros., is now
in the control of a financially strong syn
dicate from Wisconsin, and will shortly
-bo doubled in capacity. Already the new
management has secured 400 feet more of
water front on the south side of the pres
ent plant, which provides ample space for
increasing the capacity of the milL Its
present capacity is about 50.000 feet of
lumber per day, and when enlarged it
will turn out 100.000 feet of lumber dally.
Situated directly on the St. Johns
spur of the O- R. & N. Co., from which
there is a sidetrack directly to the lumber-yard,
the shipment of lumber 13 ex
ceedingly easy. It is announced that the
management will put on double the p res-
ent force and operate night and day
shortly. This will Increase the force to
about 70 men or more.
Electric Sairsdll Plant.
At St. Johns work is progressing stead
ily on the new electric sawmill. The boil
er-bouse is being built a short distance
rom the main building, which has been
completed. This will be a rather noel
sawmill. The various parts will be oper
ated by electricity, which will be devel
oped on the ground. One peculiarity in
the construction and operation of this
mill is that the log carriage will be sta
tionary, and the saw will do the
traveling. It will saw through a log and
then saw backwards to the starting point,
and so on. till a log is reduced to lumber.
Piles for the lumber dock have been driv
en, and the dock will soon be completed.
About 50,000 feet of lumber may be cut per
day. This mill also has the advantage of
deep water frontage on one side and
the railway spur on the other. At St-
Johns it is thought that the Doernbecher
Factory Company will put up a large
sawmill on the site on the Byers prop
erty it secured several months ago.
On the hill at St. Johns there Is already
a great building boom. The location of
the drydock there has caused a lively
movement in real estate, and building
lots have been going off like hot cakes.
In the great district now being cleared
bouses are springing up with wonderful
rapidity. It is estimated that not less
than 100 houses, ranging in cost from $500
to $3000, are under construction here.
There is every indication that this will
continue through the entire year. Not
withstanding the great number of houses
put up last year and now under construc
tion, very few are for rent. The new
City Council will set in motion street im
provements, and also will take steps to
Improve and extend the water service.
There are several additions wanting water
mains. This matter win come up this
evening in the City Council, which meets
in Knight's Hall. It is also considered
probable that steps , will be taken to se
cure electric lights for the new city.

NEW PASTOR IS CALLED
REV. E.E. CHASE IX IIASSALO
STREET CONGREGATIONAL.
Grangers Declare Against Referen
dum en 1905 Fair Street Rail
way Extensions.
Rev. Charles E. Chase has accepted a
call to become permanent pastor of the
Hassalo-Street Congregational Church,
Holladay addition, and has entered on his
work in that field. Mr. Chase came from
Reno. Nev., about a month ago and sup
plied the pulpit of the Haesalo Church un
til last week. For two years before com
ing to Portland, Mr. Chase was pastor of
a Congregational church, and for a num
ber of years he occupied prominent pul
pits in California. He has a pleasing
and direct method of address in the pulpit.
He Is always earnest, forcible and prac
tical In presenting the lessons of his texts.
He brings to his work here about 20 years
of experience. His wife has not yet ar
rived, being In California, but his (laugh--
ter Is with him. Next Friday evening a
public reception will be tendered Mr. Chase
in the church.
SOLDIER WITH FLAG.
Figrnre That "Will Snrmoant Monu
ment la Lone Fir Cemetery.
D. D. Neer, architect and superintendent
of the Lone Fir soldiers' monument, has
received a photograph of the proposed
copper-bronze figure which will surmount
the monument when completed. The figure
Is that of a soldier standing with a flag.
Instead of with a sun. It was specially
modeled In the East, and is the only figure
of the sort that has been specially modeled
for a soldiers monument. The figure
was placed on exhibition In the hall of
Sumner Post. No. 12, G. A. R., Union ave
nue. Saturday evening, and by the veter
ans present was pronounced a most at
tractive design to surmount the shaft.
There Is life and action In the figure,
and it will harmonize with the remainder
of the monument In every respect.
With this -beautiful figure to surmount
the monument, the association is con
vinced that the memorial to the veterans
of the four wars Indian, Civil. Mexican
and Spanish will be the most attractive
on the Coast. The changes made In the
original plans providing for granite ped
estals at the" four corners will alao add to
its beauty and finish. Contractor Schu
mann has the stone work well advanced
and will be able to put it together and
have it completed up to the figure by May
30. an which occasion It will be formally
dedicated as part of the Memorial day ex
ercises. The surmounting figure will not
be ready till later in the year.
OPPOSED TO DELAY.
Patrons of Husbandry Against Ap
plying: Referendum to 1005 Fair.
At the last meeting of the Milwaukle
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, emphatic
resolutions were passed declaring It "wrong
and hurtful to apply the referendum to the
state appropriation for the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, and stating that ..the
only result would be to delay the prepar
atory work. There was no opposition to
the resolutions. Of the large number of
Grangers present nearly all expressed
themselves In harmony with the spirit of
the resolutions, and the consensus of
opinion was that every citizen of the state
should stand firm for the success of the
great Fair. H. A. Andrews Is master
of Milwaukle Grange.
At New Era, Warren Grange passed res
olutions of the same character. The New
Era Grange has 115 members. When it
came to vote only two were cast against
.the resolutions. As far as heard from all
Granges whiph have acted have condemned
the effort to submit the appropriation to
the referendum. The first to act was
Pomona of Multnomah County, 'and next
was Rockwood.
BETTER FIRE PROTECTION.
Councilman Sltcrrctt Confident That
Seventh Ward "Will Get Engine.
Councilman D. T. Sherrett, of the Sev-.
enth. Ward, Isvery confident that Brook
lyn will get the fire protection the citizens
are after. He says the Councllmen and
the Executive Board are favorable to lo
cating an engine-house on the city's
grounds on Powell street, and then put
ting a combination engine at that point.
"For this purpose, said Councilman Sher
rett, "a special appropriation will have to
be made, for the regular fire appropriation
will not admit of this provision. The
people are entitled to this protection, and.
I am sure they will get it."
There is some difference of opinion
whether a now building should be erected
or a portion of the old pumping station
be used. The water committee has given
permission to use the south end of the
long building, but It would cost nearly
as much to remodel the structure as it
would to erect an entirely new engine
house. It is also thought that the foun
dation of the old pumping station may be
decayed, as it rests on the ground. Sunny
side also Insists that it be provided with
better fire protection.
CUTTING MANY TIES.
One Sawmill on the Sandy River In
Savrlnc Ont 12,000 Every Month.
At the Bramhall sawmill on the Sandy
River 12,000 ties are turned out per month.
These are flumed down to the Sandy and
rafted to Troutdale. where they are taken
out by an endlo?s chain for shipment on
the O. R. & N. line. The mills are getting
a big price for all the ties they can cut,
about SO cents each. Railroad extensions
and repairs make the market for railroad
ties practically without any limit.
The City & Suburban Railway Company
has received many thousands of hewed
ties at Montavilla, which It is using In Its
East Side extensions and elsewhere. These
hewed ties are cut from the second-growth
timber between the Base Line and Section
roads. The timber has sprung up In the
past few years on land that had been
denuded of Its big timber. The small
growth timber is not fit for sawed ties,
but makes fine hewed ties.
East Side Notes.
Frank Plympton. of Holladay's addition,
has returned from a month's visit in Illi
nois, and is glad to get back to Portland.
The Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company will install two more water tube
boilers In Its power-house on the terminal
grounds south of East Clay street.
There Is a slight improvement in the
condition of G. J. Gruner. of Stephens'
addition, who was stricken with paralysis
lest weak. Although very weak he is able
to be about tha house.
Mr. and Mrs. V. V. Calvert, of Denver,
are visiting at the home of H. R. Nelson,
on Carl street. They are thinking of lo
cating in the state, and have been ex
amining Portland suburbs.
Perry Tomllnson, a well-known resident
of the East Side, who went to New Jersey
a year ago, has returned. He says he saw
no place that he liked better than Oregon,
and has returned to make his home.
The St. Johns City Council will hold a
meeting this evening In Knight's Hall for
transaction of general business. Some
committee reports on streets and water
supply and city government oganlzatlon
are expected.
At the Saturday night meeting of Sum
ner Post, G. A. R., the condition of Com
rade Dewit C Miller was reported Im
proved with good prospects of an earlv
recovery. This news will be pleasing to
Mr. Miller's numerous f rjends in' Portland
and elsewhere.
A special meeting of the East Twenty
Eighth Street Improvement Association
will ho held this eveninc in the Mission
Chapel on East Twenty-eighth and East
Gllsan streets, to take up some unfinished
business left over from the last meeting.
F. B. Beach, president of the Portland
Board -of Trade, will be present and ad
dress 'tha association.
Teams continue to be driven on the
cycle path on Milwaukle street The Chief
of Police sent a patrolman to watch the
path, but as he was in full uniform and
loomed up like a house, afire, none of the
teamsters ventured to drive on the path
until ho had disappeared. H. R. Nelson
has ascertained that the men who drive
on the path come in from Clackamas
County and Sellwood. He saw a man
driving a heavy wagon on the path and
warned him off. but received an insulting
reply. Presently there will be a great
tow on Milwaukle street when all wheel
men use the sidewalk.
