East Side Clubs Favor City
Maintenance of Hard
Surface Roads.
DISTRICT PLAN INDORSED
Building Operations Keep Pa-e With
Street Improvements and Exten
sion of Water Service Ad
vocated by Push Clubs.
Hard-surface pavement and improv
ing: Btreets by district were tiie im
portant subjects before the United
Kant Wide Push Clubs Tuesday night
last. Ij. K. llice, representing tho
W'averly-Kichmond Improvement Asso
ciation, presented a resolution to-the
effect that Hie city should maintain all
hard-surface pavement, after they had
once been made by the property-owners,
without any further cost to them.
M. (5. Munly snoke in favor of intro
ducing more hard-surface pavements
in the city and pointed out that Port
land was not making Improvements of
this kind in line with its growth in
other directions. "While the initial cost
might be more than an inferior grade
of improvements, said Judge Munly,
they were really less costly than an
improvement that was not permanent.
He held that the class of hard-surface
pavement which had a concrete foun
dation is the best because the surface
can be renewed. He called attention
to the fact that the Irvington tract,
lying between Tillamook st reot, Knott
a venue and Kast Fourteenth and l;int
Twenty-fourth streets, will be paved
with asphalt, and also that this hard
surface district will be enlarged to
take In Holladay Addition. Also the
old race track area is now being pro
vided with hard-surface pavements.
Judge Munly said that the property
owners In this territory are consider
ing the advisability of organizing a
hard-surface pavement club whose
function shall be to promote and en
courage the improving of streets with
hard -surf ace pavements. It was the
sentiment of the delegates present, in
cluding I C. Kones, from the Penin
sula, that no effort should be spared
by all civic clubs to work for perma
nent pavements. Judge Munly was in
clined to favor brick pavements.
Piedmont Paving Movement.
In Piedmont there is a general move
ment to Improve all the streets with
high-grade pavements, and petitions
are now being circulated. On Albina
avenue, south from Killingsworth. an
effort is being made to secure hard
surface pavement. And so all over the
Kast Side a general campaign for the
best pavements that can be secured is
under way, it having been found that
cheap and inferior pavements are the
most expensive that can be put down.
It has been found also that property
on streets improved with this kind of
pavement appreciates in value faster
than property on cheap improvements.
The action of the Portland Realty
Board in inviting K. H. Thomson- City
Kngineer of Seattle, father of the dis
trict plan to improve streets, which
made Seattle streets the admiration of
all who go there, to address Portland
property-owners on that plan, meets
with approval on the iiast Side, where
it is believed some such methods would
facilitate general improvement, and
reduce the cost. Also the clubs will
insist that In letting contracts for
hard pavements there shall be compe
tition. J udge Munly. in "his address,
declared that the cost of the high
class pavements was kept up for the
reason there had been no competition,
which, he said, ought to be remedied.
He urged tiiat action be taken that
would require competitive bids on such
improvements and that it ought to be
required by ordinance. It is estimated
that projected hard-surface pavements
on the Kast Side will cost nearly $500,
0(0. Large Movements Southward.
Among the larger movements of the
past week on the East Side is the pro
jected platting of the Uadtl farm on
the Milwaukie road. Its improvement
will include .paved streets, water and
sewer pipes, the building of a 24 -inch
pipeline to supply Sell wood and sur
roundings, a projected sewer system
east of fifteenth street, to cover East
Sell wood, and probably the Ladd farm
and part of Wills burg. This pipeline
would run from Division street and
would be about three miles long.
One of the most important developments
of the past week is the well-authenticated
' announcement that a portion of the Ladd
farm, on the Milwaukie Road, is to be
platted. Improved and placed on the mar
ket. This information came out at the
last meeting of the St.-11 wood Board of
Trade. It was brought out in connection
with the agitation that has been started
for another pipeline. 24-inch, for the Sell
wood district. The. 10-inch main that
was put down along the Milwaukie Road
to supply thnt suburb several years ago,
is not adequate and the water committee
is asked to consider the building of a
C4-lnch pipeline from Division street to
Sell wood. If tho Ladd farm be platted
and improved and placed on tho market,
i his pipeline will be necessary, and the
Ladd estate has been asked to assist in
securing the water main.
The Kenil worth and the district east
ward are interested in this proposed pipe
line, for that district Is very short of
water and is building up rapidly. The
sewer question east of East Ffteenth
street is also connected with the opening
of the Iadd farm. Sewerage will be neces
sary, and the district will include the
ladd farm and all that part of Sell wood
east of Fifteenth street and part of Wills
burg. This will necessitate a large con
duit through the Richard Scott farm
along Johnson Creek to the Willamette
River at Milwaukie. It is understood
that Mr. Scott will not raise objection to
the conduit being laid through his farm
to Milwaukie, as he will probably soon
plat some portion of his farm. These proj
ects demonstrate that Portland grows
southward as well as toward the north.
At Sellwood petitions for a sewer sys
tem between East Fifteenth street and
the Willamette River, which will cost
over tltXUVO, has already gone to the
City Council.
New Manufacturing District.
The sale of property on the Peninsula
for the month of April was remarkable.
In the Waverleigh tract over 1:5 lots,
-epresenting a value of over StS.OOU, were
sold the past six weeks, and this tract
was only recently placed on the market.
At University Park, S. G. Sihray an
lounees that his tirm has sold from one
to five lots every day for the past two
months. .
R. -G. Brand, of the Maegly Improve
ment Club, says that a large number of
manufacturing establishments are to be
?rected at that point during the present
Summer or as soon as the H ill company
announces what it will do In the way of
providing freight and passenger depots.
Several concerns are ready to start work
of construction as soon as the depot ques
tion is settled. The railroad company nas
already promised ample depot facilities,
but has not said when they will be built
Durlng the week one firm secured an
option on a lS-acre tract on which it will
build a $7o,(00 plant, the character of
which has not yet been announced.
There are several smaller concerns ready
to build, al Maegly Junction a consider
able manufacturing district has oeen laid
out, the streets having been dedicated
with a provision that railroad spurs may
be built on the streets direct to the es
tablishments. This district has both rail
and water facilities, as Columbia Slough
is being dredged out so that building ma
terial may be handled, both by rail and
water.
A movement has been started to grade
out and improve the streets in this dis- :
trict, preparatory to the coming of these ;
concerns. Electric lights and Bull Run j
water Will be provided for. The Water
Committee will lay a 6-inch water main :
at once from the pipe on Dawson street
to Columbia boulevard. Recently R. D.
Inman. ot Tnman-Poulsen Company, vis
ited the Swift site with a view to erect
ing a sawmill plant in that vicinity, but :
with what results lias not been yet an
nounced. May Erect Oddfellows' Temple.
Trie Oddfellows Lodge at University
Park is considering the proposition of
erecting a building for tue use of the
order on the peninsula. It Is under
stood, that the lodge has secured op
tions on two sites on Dawson and
Hodge streets at University Park, 5Jx
10O. If the plans mature the lodge
wiil put up a two and one-half-story,
reinforced concrete building on which
ever site Is finally secured for the pur
pose. The first floor will be for busi
ness purposes and the upper floor will
contain an auditorium and lodge room.
The plans for the Oddfellows' temple on
East Alder and Sixth streets in a modi
fied form may be selected for the new
fraternal building at University Park.
Architect Berndt is taking bids for
the carpentry, reinforced concrete and
ot her portions of the Oddfellows tem
ple on East Alder and Sixth streets
for Orient Lodge. The excavating for
the basement has been finished, and
work on tho reinforced, concrete walls,
wilp be started at once. While the
building will be two-story, should a
suitable proposition be received it will
be made three-stories. The offer has
been made of $100 a month for the
third floor to be used as a public ball,
and the trustees are favorable to the
proposition. If the proposer will take
a long lease on the premises the
trustees will have the building ex
tended to include a third story, as the
cost would probably not exceed $5000
or $6000. .
To Start Work on Bridge.
The Northwest Bridge Company is
making arrangements to start work on
the concrete bridge across Sullivan
Gulch on East Twenty-eighth street.
A thorough test has been made of the
cement to be used by the contracting
firm by the City Engineer. These tests
have been completed and excavating
for the foundation win be started
within the next few days. This bridge
will be of great value and convenience
to a large section north of Sullivan
Gulch, where handsome dwellings are
under construction. .
Architect Otto Kleemann has com
pleted plans for a fiat building for
Peter Zimmerman, to be built on East
Twelfth, near East Burnside street,
which will cost $6600. Henry Leibe
has secured the contract. William
Kuyath will erect a flat in Holladay
Addition, costing $6600, for J. J.
Horsky. Goodrich & Goodrich have
prepared plans for two bungalows in
Rose City Park, one to contain seven
and the otner six rooms, and the cost
to be $3000 each. Frank- S. Fields is
having a two-story dwelling erected on
East Nineteenth and Thompson streets
to cost $4200. Plans have been pre
pared for a two-story building, 44x70
feet, a four-flat structure, to be built
on Benton and Dupont streets, for Mrs,
Barnes, 20 rooms In all.
The Portland Tool Works has taken
out a permit to erect a shop at a cost
of $2000.

The Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company asks for the vacation of East
Twelfth street, between Unit and Ochoco
avenues, in Sellwood. The company de
sires this street vacated o it may start
work on its new carbarns, shops and
clubhouse on the site.
In Montavilla a large number of dwel
lings are under construction. In the
Jonesmore tract, on the west side, there
is a dozen of handsome cottages being
built at an average cost of $2000 There
Is a concerted effort to have a 12-inch
water main laid on Villa avenue, from
West avenue to the Meridian road. Pe
titions are being signed asking for this
main. The citizens of Montavilla are
lso puliing hard for an engine house to
e erected at some elevated point. This
settlement is now without tire protec
tion. An effort is being made to secure
electric lights and a canvass is under
way to ascertain the number of people
who will take lights.
Handsome Book of Portland Views.
One of the handsomest publications is
sued in Portland for exploiting the city
and the coming Rose Festival is a book
of views in color, published by the Port
land Pgst Card Company. Twenty-four
mats of dark brown paper are bound into
a book with an illuminated cover, and in
the middle of the collection is a half-tone
double-page panoramic view of the busi
ness district of the city, showing the re
cent constructed skyscrapers and those
erected in past years. The views of
gardens, streets and water scenes are not
only selected with care, but are repro
duced in a style that places this work in
the ranks of the artistic publications of
the country. Roses are given a promi
nent place in the collection of views, and
the pictures give an accurate idea of the
Mower Portland has made famous. Noth
ing that has been produced lately will
appeal more strongly to the people of
Oregon than this beautiful work as a
present to send to friends in the East,
and certainly nothing could give a better
representation of the city's appearance
and marvelous wealth of bloom espec
ially roses.
En large Milwaukie Schoolhouse.
Architect P. Chappell Browne has com
pleted plans for the annex to the Mil
waukie schoolhouse. It contains four
rooms, besides two large halls, and will
cost about $10,000. The assembly hall will
be located in the basement. Mr. Browne
also has plans in preparation for a $15,000
schoolhouse at Gladstone, on the Oregon
City electric railway. It will contain
eight rooms.
Build Summer Resorts.
Lee Holden, former Fire Battalion Chief
on the East Side, is pushing work on the
resort on his farm on the Mount Hood
road at the toll gate. He expects to have
GUT OUT
THINGS TO THINK OVER
Do you know that there are men In
his state supporting families on a
single acre? It Is to this phenomenal
productiveness that the wealth of the
country is oue. But this district is too
valuable to be cultivated very long
it's going to be a solid block of resi
dences. Every acre is cleared and in
cultivation,, no rock nor gravel, and
will grow anything you want to plant.
Fifteen minutes' ride on the Oregon
EU-ctric (Salem Line) compare this
with other distances. The fact that
the line has just been opened is an
important consideration. There is
everything to win by the ones who
get In now. Briefly, the proposition is
an acre for the price of a lot.

These ti'acts have the same relation to the center of town today as hundreds of blocks that were sold at similar prices twenty years ago and
winch have since become the equivalent to as many fortunes. I have watched all this development, and there must be a repetition unless
Portland stops growing right where it is. Look around and just think of the millions in wealth this but recent wilderness has developed!
into. Ninety per cent of the fortunes were started by the advancement in value of some piece of ground. .
Madison Villa is the closest in acreage proposition in the city; so close is it that the vicinity is literally covered with platted residence tracts
all of which are certain to return generous prof its. My first announcement appeared less than two weeks ago and already over half the
tracts have been bought up. You are under no moral obligation to buy after going out to inspect; we just want you to see and you will un
derstand the possibilities. Free tickets at this office for trip; if you cannot come, write for maps and fuller information. Agent at tract today.
