OTTO Kl.EEMANN'S COTTAGE.
', . Architect Otto Kleemann has erected a Summer home on a four
acre tract on the Mount Hood road overlooking the Valley of the Sandy
r River, a short distance from th'e Sandy postoffice. In construction, Mr.
..Kleemann adopted rustic design in keeping with the matchless beauty
and wlldness of the surrounding country, yet his cottage, one of the
first of the sort to be built Jn that neighborhood, has comfort and con-
' venlences. It Is situated on one side of the Mount Hood wagon road,
and on the east side there Is one of the finest views Imaginable for
miles. Mount Hood being visible and seemingly but five or six miles
away from the back porch. The Sandy River in the ravine about 25.10
.feet below sweeps rapidly toward the Columbia. Alongside the cottage
ware some towering pines. Along the road the mall carrier passes every
'S day with daily mails, so that Portland papers may be had every
afternoon. Mr. Kleemann has retained all the wildness of
nature In the surroundings of his Summer home. His family and guests
are spending a most delightful Summer at the cottage. Every Saturday
Mr. Klceman wheels out to the cottage and spends Saturday chopping
wood for the ensuing week, clearing up brush and preparing his four
acres for raising potatoes and cabbage in his old age. He returns
Monday greatly refreshed with his strenuous experience with the axe
and spade, saw and hammer.
Joseph M. Healy to 3. D. Hart, J. H.
Olbson. I.ewls Montgomery, K. W. Ring
and Carlos A. Mann. The property con
sists of a three-story stone a..d brick
structure covering 100x90, and was built
by Charles Logug at a cost of $45,000. The
lower store rooms and the upper floors
are occupied.
Erection of the building by Mr. Logus
Just before the slump of 1S92 caused him
the loss of most of his fortune. Mr.
Healy bought the property t.hree years
ago,, paying $10,000 for it, and it now
liringa $J5.0o0 more. This sale is signifi
cant at this time, as it shows that East
Side property has a substantial value
even during the dullest month of the
year.
The sales of residence lots during the
past week on the East Side picked up
and exceeded those of the former week.
One East Side real estate firm said It
had several important deals in business
locations on hand that, had not yet been
closed up, but were nearly so. One was
for a quarter and the other for a half-tolor-k.
Tlje numerous sales in what is
called the residence dlstrjcts of Albina
and East Portland ranged up to $"i500.
fovcral of the Albina sales 'were trans
fers of lots that soon will be used for
business purposes. The larger sales were
In Albina Homestead near Williams ave
nue and also in Multnomah Addition. In
Valnut Park sales have been frequent,
and numerous fine homes are being built.
Frame Stores on Union.
'Afong Union avenue, north to Highland,
a business district Is growing up. Half a
dozen frame business buildings, costing
oiv an average of $10,000 each, are being
built. The avenue is sure to be a busi
ness center.
The purchase of the Woodlawn Water
Works by the city has greatly pleased
the people of that section,' who want
Bull Run water as soon as they can get
It. A 12-lnch main was laid along Union
av.enue to Woodlawn some time ago. and
now the old system of water mains se
cured by this deal may be used tempo
rarily to supply Bull Run water until
larger mains can be laid. The pipes are
mostly wooden and small, and must be
replaced as soon as the city has the
funds with which to do so. Owing to the
new tracts that have been opened and
which are being Improved, the laying of
adequate water mains will soon be ab
solutely necessary in thin section.

Lease Xot Acceptable to Western
Cooperage Company.
Unless the Port of Portland Commis
sion decides to sell to the Western Coop
erage Company 200 feet of water frontage
near the.arydock at St Johns, the large
plant that firm i to establish may go to
some other city, according to Walter
Eastman, the president. Application to
purchase this tract was made this week,
but the members of the Commission de
clared that they would not do more than
give a lease for 25 years. Mr. Eastman
says that his fompany wants to buy and
not lease, and that unless the land can
be purchased another location will be
purchased.
Mr. Eastman personally holds a tract
of 17 acres in the vicinity of the drydoek.
which will probably be used for the plant
if the water frontage can be added. It
Is said that the. factory to he built will
Involve an expenditure of at least $200,000.
The company now has factories at Hol
ton. Seattle, Aberdeen and Los Angeles,
and Is ready to spend a large amount of
money here if the right location can be
secured.

pany is affiliated with the California

no connection with it except occasional
dealings. Besides the president, the offi
cers are: Clarence A. Lillic, of Portland,
and Albert J. Buhtz. of Seattle. William

K. Melnig Reports' Camps Estab
lished From Falrvlew . to
Mouth of Bull Run.
E. Meinlft. of Sandy, reports that
the Mount Hood Railway Company haa
several camps located between Kalr
vlew and the mouth of Bull Run where
it Is constructing a power plant.
These camps, said Mr. Melnig, are for
the grading contractors, who are evi
dently awaiting orders to start the
work of grading along the -route.
Archie Maeon, of the Mason Construc
tion Company. has established his
headquarters at Falrvlew, preparatory
to starting active operations at sev
eral points. The company has been
strengthening the bridge, across the
Sandy River preparatory to sending
over some heavy machinery, including
a steam shovel.
Mr. Meinlg ald he was Informed that
the road would be so far advanced by
the first of the year that cars can
run to Government Camp by Christ
mas, but he questions whether this
can be done In that time, owing to
the scarcity of laborer. The agents
of the company are quoted as saying
that they could give employment to
600 or 600 men, but are unable to find
them, although they are offering good
wages. However, as soon aa harvest is
over they hope to get all the men they
may need.
Mr. Meinlg calls attention to the fact
that the Mount Hood Railroad will
pass through the Shenna Creek mining
district, where development work has
gone forward for the past ten years
with encouraging results.
"This road will-enable us to ship out
ore from these mines." he said, "which
will be a good thing for Portland. The
route will be within! two .miles of the
Northern Light Mine, which has an ex
tensive tunnel, but which has never
sent out any ore owing to the long
distance by wagon. With a spur we
can send out the ore. There is a big
lot of ore in this district and I look
for it to be developed and worked on
completion of the Mount Hood Rail
road to Portland. The travel over this
road will be Immense. It will be one
of the best paying lines out of Port
land." '

SUBWAY ADVOCATED BY EAST
SIDE CITIZENS.
Project to Relieve Congestion on
Bridges Will Be Taken Up by
Business Men.
Tt Is the general opinion on the East
Side that the time Is not far distant when
a subway must be built under the Will
amette River. Even now the bridges as
they stand are not adequate for the traf
fic across the river. - The Burnside Ttridge
is a fair illustration. (though a wide
structure, when the draw is open for any
length of time streetcars and vehicles
gather at both ends as far as Union ave
nue and Third street. When the draw
closes the processions move toward each
other, and it takes a long time to clear
away the congested traffic.
Conditions are worse on the railroad
bridge where the narrow roadway is
crowded practically all the time. There
are now about 90,000 people living on the
East Side all dependent on the bridges to
get to the business center.. Delays never
end on the bridges, and will continue to
increase as travel increases. The suburb
an railways carry thousands who must be
on time, but the possibility of delays at
the bridges is ever present and must be
reckoned with st all times.
The coming winter the East Side clubs
will take up this question of ft big sub
way at some central point connecting the
East and West Sides open to the use of
all streetcars. It Is the judgment of
many who have given the matter consid
eration that a subway will be the only re
lief to the never ending delays on the
bridge for streetcars. With the comple
tion of the Mount Hood Railway, now be
ing built, there will be greater call for
this subway. It Is considered best that
the city should build this subway and
make a reasonable charge for streetcars,
so that the Interest and cost of opera
tion would be paid by them, lifting all
burden from the city.
So far there has been no way to regu
late the operation of the draws so as to
accommodate the public, but the subway
would be free from obstructions. There
Is a never ending friction between river
captains and the bridge traffic that will
increase with the growth of the city.
