BROADMEAD
FARM
3000 ACRES, SELLS
Portland Investors Pay About
$200,000 for Ladd and
Reed Holding.
WILL CUT IT INTO TRACTS
I. K. Keasey, J. H. Patterson, L. R.
Menefe and George Akers Men
Whose Names Appear in Big
Vamhlll-Polk Transaction.
Broadmead farm, or as more familiarly
known the Ladd and Reed farm, located
In Yamhill and Polk Counties, consisting
of 3000 acres, has been bought by Portland
Investors. Broadmead farm Is probably
the best known large tract in a single
holding In Western Oregon, and for years
has been famous as a stock and farming
tract.
The purchase was made by a syndicate
composed of L.. R. Menefee, D. E. Keasey,
J. R. Patterson and George Akers, and
through the agency of IX E. Keasey &
Co. the property was transferred to the
Columbia Trust Company. The consider
ation b reported to be about $300,000.
About 600 acres was retained by Menefee
and Keasey, Including the big farmhouse,
the Intention being to modernize the
house and make of it a country home for
the two families of thet owners.
It is the purpose of the Columbia Trust
Company to subdivide the big farm into
five and ten-acre tracts and place them
on the market, the great Influx of colon
ists practically assuring the sale of these
smaller tracts from the start.
4
S. P. Cuts Tract in Two.
The Southern Pacific runs directly
through the property, the distance from
Portland being 42 miles. The Sheridan
and Dallas Junction Is In the heart of the
tract, and the projected line of the Mc
Minnvllle branch of the Oregon Electric
road also runs through the property. The
proposed townsite of Broadmead will be
located at the Junction, which provides
an Ideal location for a new town, there
being already sites engaged for a hotel,
general store and blacksmith shop. , The
trust company is to act as selling agent
for townslte lots and acreage.
The purchase of this property was
brought about by J. R. Patterson, who
was a long-time friend of the Reeds in
California. Air.. Patterson has been in
Portland for about two years and is at
present associated with D. B. Keasey in
handling Portland Heights properties. He
is very enthusiastic over the farming
prospects In Oregon and is eager to have
the large farms in Western Oregon cut
up Into small tracts so as to provide
homes for families of moderate means.
The trust company announces that it is
. to be its policy in placing the Broad
mead tract on the market to make easy
terms with purchasers and sell on the
installment plan.
The farm was owned by Iadd and
Reed for many years and was devoted
to the raising of fine cattle and horses.
The farm produced the only, carload of
red clover seed ever grown in the Valley,
and It was the pioneer In this culture.
Mr. Patterson, who is well posted on
the character and productivity of the
land, says the soil Is of the first quality
and mostly of dark loam. There are
about TOO acres of bottom land, well
adapted for truck raising. These bottom
lands can be easily irrigated from the
"Yamhill River, which flows along the
northwest side of the farm. There is
a good growth of oak, ash and fir along
the river and creeks that flow through
the lands.
A number of orchards have been
started on the farm and there are 100
acres set out in English walnuts, the
trees being now two years old. The
lands have been pronounced excellent
for these purposes as well as for vege
table and small fruit raising. There is
a railroad siding of the Southern Pacific
at the farm and two large warehouses
already built. The big tract has been
kept in an excellent state of cultivation
for many years and there are miles of
drainage tiling from almost every section
of 11. All the food products necessary for
the subsistence of employes of the farm
have been raised on the farm, one of the
overseers relating that the only things
lie had to buy were sugar, salt and such
articles.
Water Piped to Every Field.
Beside the huge windmill and tank
house near the farmhouse there are three
others on different parts of the farm, so
that water is delivered by pipeline to
every field.
The present improvements In the way
of buildings are the great farmhouse,
which contains eight bedrooms, a large
dining-room and two parlors, while ad
joining are woodsheds, kitchen and a
washroom large enough to accommodate
25 persons at one time. There are three
barns, warehouses, a hoghouse as large
as most barns in the state, sheepsheds
and a complete dairy plant. There is a
full basement under the farmhouse. Alto
gether the improvements on the farm are
the most extensive of any in the state
Prom reports made by the railroad
companies there are thousands of colon
ists arriving in Oregon during the low
rate period. They are said to be of a
better class than those of former years,
the majority being provided with funds
enough to buy little homes for them
selves. Cutting up of the big farms into
small tracts will go a long way toward
offering to these newcomers Inducements
to buy and enter at once into cultivation.

COSTLY SEWER PLANNED
City Engineer Gathers Data for
Great Projeet on Peninsula.
The largest and mosrt expensive sewer
yctem projected In Portland Is being
worked out for th Peninsula in the City
Engineer's office. Although the prelimi
nary work on this system was started
over a year aeo, not all the material in
the way of contour data has yet been
gathered. City Engineer Taylor, who
spent some time yesterday inspecting
the territory, sold that he thought an
extra man would have to be employed in
this work. Surveyors have been in the
field some time getting the contour of
the country embraced within the dis
trict. It covers nearly all of the Tenth
Ward, between Kllllngworth avenue and
9t. John, end between the Willamette
River and Columbia slough, and also it
extends south of Killings-worth avenue
for several blocks. There are several
problems in working out this district not
encountered in other sewer districts of
the city, and one is to find an outlet for
the big condufta that will be laid down
the Peninsula to the river. Just where
the conduits will empty has npt been
figured out, but they will empty either
in Columbia slough or the Willamette
River.
'It may be that one large .conduft will
follow the Peninsula along the north side
to railroad cut and then follow the cut
to the Willamette River and the other
near the southerly side of the Peninsula
may run direct into the Willamette River
from Killlngsworth avenue, or at some
poinl further north. It is roughly esti
mated that the sewer system will cost
approximately $400,000 to J500.000. It will
be at least a year before the plans can
be completed and the contract let. A

system of sewerage will be devised that
will take care of the Peninsula for. many
years.
MAYOR LANE GIVES IN
WILIi SIGN BARBER CONTRACT
FOR HAWTHORNE AVENUE.
Has No Evidence, He Says, to Prove
Validity of Rival Agents'
Claims.
After deliberation and careful investi
gation of the facts. Mayor Lane an
nounced late yesterday afternoon that he
would this morning sign the contracts
for the 1171,000 job of asphalt paving on
Hawthorne avenue. This insures Im
mediate work on the largest single con
tract for hard-surface paving ever let in
Portland. It will stretch from Kast Third
to East Forty-first street, and will make
of the thoroughfare one of the most
beautiful in the city.
The City Executive Board awarded the
contract to the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company last Friday afternoon, after
much debate and hearing 'of petitions
from property-owners, as well as giving
audiences to agents for rival paving
concerns, who had bid on the big job
in hope of their getting entrance to the
local field In competition with the so
called "trust." The procedure was not
to Mayor Lane's liking and he laid aside
the contracts to consider. After waiting
until yesterday afternoon, he decided to
sign them so that the work can be done
this Summer and the avenue hard
surfaced before the rainy season sets
in next Fall.
"I did not just like the" way the bid
of the Barber Asphalt Paving Company
was made," said Mayor Lane yesterday,
"but I had no evidence at hand to show
that there was anything wrong with it
and I have come to the conclusion that
as more than 75 per cent of tne property
owners petitioned for the contracts to be
let to this company, I will sign them
In the morning."
There was much contention on the part
of rival bidders that the Barber Paving
Company's bid was unbalanced: that it
favored the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company, giving an exceptionally
low rate on stone blocks, which have
to be laid between the rails of the com
pany's line, and that the property-owners
were made partly to make up for this
low rate by means of higher figures on
the asphalt, for which they must pay.
The matter was thrashed out In com
mittee meetings and the members were
unable to decide what to do, but when
it went to the whole Board last Friday,
and all sides were heard for two hours',
the majority of the members voted to let
the contract to the Barber Company.
MORTGAGE FOR $550,000 GIVEN
Coupon Gold Bonds Will Issue on
Olds, Wortman'A King Block.
A mortgage on the block at Morrison,
Tenth, Alder and West Park streets
for a varying- amount, not to exceed
$550,000. was given to the Merchants'
Savings & Trust Company yesterday by
the Portland Building Company. The
building company is about to issue first
mortgage coupon gold bonds, bearing
6 per cent interest, not to exceed at face
value, the amount above named. There
will be 600 bonds at $111 each, 360 at
$500 each and 310 at $1000. On April
1. 1916, $30,000 worth are to mature,
and a like amount every year until
1934. when $10,000 will come to maturi
ty. The Interest on the bonds is made
payable either at the Merchants' Sav
ings & Trust Company's bank or at the
Trustee Securities Company' In New
York City.
The property mortgaged Is that upon
which Olds, Wortman & King is to
erect its five-story steel -frame building.
J. White Evans sometime ago secured
a 25-year lease of the property from
Mary A. Pennoyer. Gertrude E. Russell
and George F. Russell, a sublease be
ing given to the Trustee Company of
Portland.

FROM NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE
Craft Placed on List for Columbia

Howard D. Troop Taken for '
Grain-Ijoading Here.
Meyer, Wilson & Co. have chartered
the British bark Altalr, 2366 tons, to
bring general cargo to Portland from
Newcastle-on-Tyne. The vessel arrived
out at Dunkirk April 11 from Iquique.
She will be ready to receive cargo very
eoon and will form one of the June
fleet to leave the other side. She will
be due off the mouth of the Columbia
River In November and will be available
for December wheat. It Is not believed
that she has been charted out as yet.
For grain loading at Portland for the
United Kingdom or a direct port the
British bark Howard D. Troop, 20S0 net
tons, was chartered yesterday. The
Troop is for November loading. She is
now two months out from New York
for Yokohama, and is due at the Jap
anese capital late in August. Union
rates were quoted on the vessel.
With the chartering of the French
bark Pierre Lotl Tuesday by Kerr, Glf
ford & Co. the en route list has been
Increased by the addition of three ships
during the present week. During the
two weeks preceding there was little
doing in the way of outward charters
for grain. During the second week in
'April there was a lively spurt in char
tering of all kinds. It 'is noticeable that
for new crop loading there has not been
a single steamship fixed, while last year
steam tonage carried the larger part of
the crop.

WEAK. MEN CURED
CONSULT ME FIRST
There is no ailment peculiar to men that I cannot cure.
For twenty-five years I have devoted my entire time and
energy to the treatment of men's diseases.
My methods have been perfected by actual experience,
with a thoroughly theoretical knowledge as a basis. I am
the only physician thoroughly and permanently curing those
functional derangements commonly classed as "Weakness,"
and my success in overcoming such cases has placed me fore
most among .specialists treating men's diseases, and has
brought me the largest practice of its kind in the West.
YOD CAN PAY WHEN CURED
I Never Disappoint or Mislead My Patients
and My Cures Are Permanent
I have treated hundreds of men who have long suffered a gradual decline of physical and mental energy
as a result of ailments, and have been interested in -noting the marked general improvement that follows a
thoroough cure of the chief disorder. My success in curing difficult cases of long standing has made nie the
foremost specialist treating men's diseases. This success is due to several things. It is due to the original
distinctive and thoroughly scientific methods of treatment I employ.
To those in doubt as to their true condition, and who wish to avoid the serious results that may follow
neglect, I offer free consultation and advice, either at my office or through correspondence. If your case is
one of the few that have reached an Incurable stage, I will not accept it for treatment, nor will I urge my
services upon any one. I treat curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat.
Scientific Treatment for Weakness
Dosing the system with powerful stimulants and
tonics in an effort to restore functional vigor can
have but one final result, the condition is rendered
worse than before. Few doctors Know 'of any other
method than stomach, drugging, and when this does
no- good, they say: "There Is no cure for weakness."
1 have often made strong statements to the effect
that the ailment must be thoroughly understood be
fore It could be remedied. I have proved it beyond
dispute that so-called "Weakness" Is merely an indi
cation of the existence of a low form of inflammation
in the Prostate Gland, which is usually aggravated
and" made worse by stimulating medicine, electricity
or any other agent that excites temporary activity.
The Prostate is a nerve center and therefore very
sensitive to treatment the right kind quickly helps,
while the wrong kind can cause great harm and
sometimes irreparable damage.
I employ the only scientific and fully effective
treatment for "weakness," which is almost entirely
. local, by which I mean that the- medication is applied
directly to parts. Medicines containing poisons are
entirely excluded. I obtain the most desirable results
in every case undertaken, and the cure Is permanent
and complete.

the building operations of Portland rank

totaling a little over $1,000,000 in value,
whereas Portland issued 4859 permits,
amounting to exactly $10,485,144. and in
reality stood sixth on the list of cities
in building operations.
Secretary Gilther. of the Chamber, was
Instructed by the trustees to forward to
the department particulars of Portland's
gain in building operations and to em
phasize with all due politeness that Port
land's business generally, and particu
larly her building permits, stood head and
shoulders above Cambridge, Mass. Pre
sumably Portland was to be accounted
as city No. 61, as the publication issued
by the Survey Department stated dis
tinctly that the 50 leading cities' permits
were given. The addition of fhe depart

monthly accounts of building operations
reaching proper authorities.
