Newspaper Page Text1 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 21, 1909. EAST SIDE WANTS Tl NEW DEPOTS 2S3E3QR9 Freight Shed Soon Required for Growing Whole sale District. - y om . sue vir irea.d. WORK IS BEGUN ON BRIDGE Concrete Structure Over Sullivan's Gulch Is l-Mrst One of Character Ever Constructed in. Portland. Church Building Progresses. Agitation has been renewed for a pas enger depot to be erected on- East First and Morrison streets, to accommodate passengers on Southern Pacilic trains that arrive on the Kast Side. Some time ago the Southern Pacific Railway Com puny agreed to erect a depot on this cor ner yiat would cost $15.000,, that would nave been partly fire-proof, and a build Ing permit was ipssued to the company lust before the Are ordinance was ei f tended to take in the whole of the ware house district, but owing to protests RRainst anything less. than a depot of brick or stone, the company dropped the matter altogether. That a passenger depot -is needed is conceded, and the need of a freight depot is becoming more pronounced every day. With the completion of warehouses now under way, to copt In the aggregate t:!S0, 0O0, and with others projected, together with the great filling contract which -will transform 20 blocks Into solid building sites, the need for freight accommoda tion of some sort for this district is even greater than a passenger depot. There Is no question but the filling of the ware house district, to be undertaken soon, will result in the erection of many . more warehouses, increasing rail shipments on the Kast Side and making an Imperative demand for a depot. The Northwest Bridge Works has start ed work on the reinforced concrete bridge across Sullivan's Gulch on East Twenty eighth street. An extensive mixing plant has been assembled at the site of this bridge. This will be the first reinforced concrete bridge built In Portland. It will be 500 feet long and will cost $SO,000. The district north of the gulch has need ed this bridge for a Jong time. Homes are being built north and east costing on rti average from $2500 to &500. The city will be called on presently to erect a bridge over the O. R. & N. track at East Thirty-second street, which was a former county road. There is a high, narrow bridge over the track at this point, but It is no longer suitable and must be replaced with a bridge as wfdo as the street and on which the grades will conform to the street. The ap , proaches to the present structure are iteep and almost prohibitory for a team with a heavy load. Another bridge also Is called for at East Twelth street to replace the present" structure, which Is worn out. . N Buys Block in Walnut Park. The school district has purchased lots 5, I. 7 and 8 and the south half of lot 4. block "B." Walnut Park, for $5000, for school purposes. Also the district se cured lots 1, 2 and 3. block "A.'' Walnut Park, for school purposes, which gives the district a full block on which to erect a school when needed, which will be soon. Sales of residence sites have not fallen much. If any, during the week, and build ing permits have kept up remarkably well Ell through the East Side. At this time of the year there is usually a slacking up in building lines, but operations have obtained such l momentum that they will po on through the year. In Walnut Park, the Nob Hill of the Albina district, Nellie Elkington bought lot 10. block 6. for $46uO. The sale in eluded a house. In Albina Fritz Matthias purchased the north half of lot 10, block 22. Albina. for $4000. In Cen tral Albina M. F. Brady bought lot 14, block 11. for $3500. F. G. Cowing pur chased the east half of lot 1 and east half of lot 2, block 2X5. East Portland, for In the Elizabeth Irving Addition J. Ryan purchased the east half of lots 13 and 14. block 6. for $.1500. In Holladay Park Thomas E. Ashley purchased lot 12, block 19, for $1500. Sale includes house. In East Portland, the east 70 feet of lot 7. block 220. was bought for $8000. This property Is on East Eleventh street near East Washington street. Church Contract to Be Let. It Is announced that the plans-for the new St. Francis Church, to be erected on the corner of East Eleventh and Pine streets, have been complet ed, and that bids for the basement and stone work will be let some time during the present month. This church will occupy 100x200, and will be one of the largest and handsomest edifices on the Coast. The cost can hardly be estimated, as that will depoVid on the extent of the decorations. The Initial cost will not be less than ia.ooo. There will be a , full basement. In which there will be a hall for'the young people's and other church organizations. The auditorium will be arranged to seat several thou sand people. A. H. Faber Is the archi tect. Excavations for the basement and foundation of the edifice are partly completed. The stone work on the Methodist Episcopal Church South on Union ave nue and Multnomah street is com pleted. The cost of this structure when completed will be about $60,000. , Contracts for the interior finish of the building: will be let this month. Work on the stone foundation and walls of this church has gone forward for nearly two years, and It will be next Fall before the edifice is com pleted, dedicated and occupied. The concrete work on the first story of the new college building for - the Christian Brothers on Clakamas street and Grand avenue is progressing. M. Owens has the contract for the con crete work. Brother Andrews, presi dent of the college, announces that he is succeeding beyond expectations in his collection of money for this build ing'. The recent Hibernian entertain ment resulted in raising $2000 for the fund. Manufacturing District Develops". Plans for the development of manu facturing districts on the Peninsula are being worked out. December, 1906. the Spokane "Portland & Seattle Railway Company began cutting across the Peninsula at Northern Hill for a distance of 6500 feet, using the material for filling the low ground at the north end of the cut for the ap proach to the Columbia River bridge. This immense cut is now nearly fin ished, and the company is building a spur to the Swift plant to connect with the main line. The plan of the railroad company is to locate a yard at Maegly Junc tion with lines of trackage, with two main lines, one for east and the other for west-bound trains. The details for this yard and trackage have not yet been worked out. The track to the grounds of the S'tft packing plant will be finished about July 15, -when actual construction will start on the main building of the- packing plant, which will be 250x150-, part of which will te six and part four stories. Other buildings to be. used for the machine shops, glue, box factory and other buildings will taien be gotten under way. The Swift Company has filled in over 20 acres, and its big dredger is constantly at "work. In the townsite of Kenton work of clearing is under way. The route of the 'streetcar track from I'lppon street has been cleared. Several, large build ings are projected. W. M. Killings worth will erect a big hotel, 100x100, In Kenton, and the Swift Company will erect a nubmer of diallings for the employes. Southeast District Goes Ahead. In the 'Waverleigh tract ' on the Powell Valley road practically every street has been Improved by- grading and cement sidewalks. There are six miles of new streets here thvat have cost $50,000. Seventeen houses-, are be ing built at an average cost of $2000 each, or $34,000 all told. In the Kerfll worth tract. Just south of the Powell Valley road, the progressive move ment is pronounced. . More new glomes are being built than -ever before. Glad stone avenue, 80 feet wide. Is being Improved for a distance of over a mile. In the Waverly-Richmond tract, Clin ton streetis to be Improved at a cost of, $15,000. Here also a number of handsome residences are being baitlt. In the Williams tract, south of the Powell 'Valley road out to Woodstock, a number of houses are being built. Toward the southeast there Is a steady growth. Iiuilding sites are being sold all through this district, and on the elevated ground at Woodstock thte building movement has resulted In the erection of many attractive homes. A trip out over' the Woodstock railway will convince' anyone that the city growing in the southeast as well toward the north. The Portland Railway,. Light & Power Company has taken out a per mit to erect a sub-power station at Northern Hill on the St. John line, to cost $2s00. This station will afford moro uniform power for that portion of the street railway system. H. 1 Camp & Co. have secured per mits for erection of a flat on East Thirty-first, near East Main street, at a cost of $4000 and another on East Fifteenth, near East Stark street, a cost of $8000. Is KECOI1D JiOT TRUE ESTIMATE Failure to Give Accurate Value Hurts Portland's Standfng. One of the leading real estate deal ers, wnen asKed yesterday why a more general report of actual amounts in volved In the records of transfers was not made, replied that some purchasers had an idea the Assessor would be in clined to accept the books at the County Clerk's office in such an event and would pop up valuations accord ingly. In such instances," he said, "It is only necessary to instruct the buyer tnat Mr. Slgler pays but little atten tion to the recorded valuations, for if he did he would err on one side as often, almost, as on the other. Some buyers who take over a piece of realty- on speculation complain but mildly if the price paid is swelled In the records for it helps him to sell.". These instances of overstatement of valuations are believed to be excep tional, however, not a single one com ng to light In the discussion the deal er quoted evoked," for the talk took place in an office where several realty men had gathered. The dealers all agreed If the practice prevailed of hav- r real values reported the ' result would be a good thing for the trade, and would place Portland In its right- iui position wnen comparative figures with other cities were compiled. Re cently an Improvement is noticeable in this respect, for the number of records carrying nominal amounts is gradually uKins reaucea. NEEDS STREET FOR CAR SHOP Power Company Will Build if Coun cil Grants Vacation. Provided the Council grants the vaca tion of East Twelfth street for a dis tance or one block in Sell wood, as asked by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, the erection of the big car- shops proposed to be, built there' will be begun at once. President Josselyn says that unless the desired concession is made by the city, it may be Impossible to erect the structure at that point, for two blocks are desired on which to build the car barns. A single block Is not long enough for a barn that will house many cars. With the barn will be combined club rooms for the men employed on the O. W. P. division. It is desired by the company to have the building finished this year. The street desired to be vacated Is a short one, ad joining the Clackamas County line. The surrounding property is -owned and used by the traction company, and It Is said the street Is of no use to any one else and that Its vacation will not cause any Inconvenience. It is the Intention of the company to maintain the present repair snops 01 the company at Milwaukie. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS J. T. Naff et al. to Chri and Marie Nelson, LOW 28, 29, 30, 31, Block 17.

Brockton Addition 410 In a very few days the JACOBS -STINE COMPANY will present to the public one of the most magnificent real estate propositions ever known in the Pacific Northwest. Having the reputation of being the largest realty operators on the Pacific coast, this firm is in touch with more live wires than all the others together.

Read every word of this advertisement carefully, and act in accordance right away. HYDE PARK is at the crest of the peninsula, , adjoins Rose City Park, Belle Crest and the Country Club, and overlooks the city of Port land and the Colurnbia River. Just a few steps from the San.ly road car line. Nothing can ever impede the magnitieent view from HYDE P.ARK. Its elevation commands the entire East Side. A short ride and five cents car fare to the heart of the city. Pure air, abundant shade and always cool. . Beautiful new homes are being built by the score within a few hundred feet of HYDE . PARK and building arrangements will be .made for buyers in HYDE PARK. No prettier homes in Portland than those close to HYDE '.PARK. Building sites are delightfully located. HYDE PARK is not in the country, but in the midst of Portland's ' most rapidly developing community. To see HYDE PARK is-, to love it, buy, build and live there. It is a fine thing to own your own home, but grander than that to build your own home arid live in beautiful HYDE PARK. Are you tired of renting? Tould you like to have a home of your own? We will make arrangements to build for you upon your own plans. It will cost you a great deal less than rent. Besides, what you pay for, you will have for yourself. See us at once.

That's been the history of every desirable residence part of the East Side. You know it to be a fact. Speculators have bought for the real purpose of making you pay a premium a few months later.

Glidrieii and Stevens Go Cp in ISos x ton and Land Xear Putney, Vt. Have Exciting Trip. . PITTSFIEL.D, -Mass., June 20. The bal I on Boston, which made Its Initial as c Tit here yesterday, landed safely short ly after 7 o'clock last night on a moun ta In between !Putney and Summerston. Vt ., near the Vermont-New Hampshire bc andary line. Charles J. Glidden, of Bq iton, the owner of the balloon, and Le n Stevens, the New York aeronaut, whf was a passenger, had a very excit ing trip. They1 landed in a pasture wha'e an angry bull was confined. The bull charged the aeronauts after they had stepped from the basket and they were forced to run at top speed. Ducing the flight of the balloon the wind blew in .puffs at a rate varying from , 25 to 40 miles an hour. The puffs of wii d and the changing directions of the vat lous air currents encountered fre quently caused the basket to revolve. The h( ;hest elevation reached waa 6100' feet. While ' passing- over the northeast cor ner of H rattleboro. Vt.. the gas bag was struck H Y two rifle bullets. The bullets glanced, I however, without penetrating the silk Covering, but the course of the bullets was indicated plainly by the two dark streams across the covering. The landing was made in a pasture on top of a mountain 2000 feet high, and tile descent was from an elevation of more than 2000 feet. Although a 25-mile breeze was blowing, the aeronauts came to the J ground without difficulty. The place where the balloon 'came down Is about 50 miles In an air line from this city. DOOR-TO-DOOR PEDDLERS AViles of Wheedling Tribe Brought to Attention of Unwary. PORTLAND, June 20. (To the Editor.) On the front steps of a near-by house is the notice: "No peddlers, agents or solicitors." Some think it an exhibition of the occupant's meanness, because a number of persons, they say, rely upon a house to house canvass for the sale of things, and are entitled to consideration. "Thej must live!" But if a housewife accords a hearing' to such as come she will find little time for anything else. Let it once become known that a place is easy for agents and ped dlers. and the nuisance becomes unbear able, some literally forcing themselves past the-housekeeper to the inside, where they can have things more nearly their own way. . Besides, articles offered nine times out of ten are not needed and could be bought of a legitimate merchant in the city, who pays occupation tax. . besides being ready always to aid every move ment for the good of the community. This writer happens to know of a fam ily well-nigh destitute, paying on weekly payments for a gaudy rug. brought to the place on the -shoulder of a peddler and sold to the woman in the absence of her husband, an old soldier receiving aid from the county, for twice what it would have cost at any reliable carpet house in Portland. The said rug looks on the floor, with its surroundings of squalor, lik'e a jewel in a pig's snout. There are big fish up this stream, be cause of the burdens laid upon the backs of the poor and improvident worked by sewing machine agents, canvassers for books, reed organs, flycatchers, bread mixers, rugs, curtain stretchers and goodness only knows what all. There is more ihan one burglary committed after nightfall in our city by parties gaining entrance and information of the house in the daytime. SYNTHIA ELLEN JONES. Entered and Cleared Yesterday.
