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.

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. As promoters of sub
divisions for the home-building class, their record has been unsurpassed. The offer
about to be made is greater, better, and more attractive than, any ever floated in this
city. 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.
If you have children, there's no better or safer
place for you to live than in HYDE PARK,
away from congested districts of downtown
Here the little ones can romp to their hearts' content. In
. the cool of the evening you have your family around you.
- Home will have more charms than downtown. Fresh air
and plenty of sunshine all the time. This thought of a
place for the children . should encourage you to build in
HYDE PARK. , .
If you allow speculators to buy in HYDE
PARK now, youvwill pay double the price for
these lots a few months hence, when you will
try to buy here.
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. Moral: Buy now. Buy be
fore the tract is formally opened.
HYDE PARK is rapidly approaching com
pletion and when it is in fit condition to
throw open, there will be the grandest scram
ble for lots you ever saw.
We are not quite ready to open HYDE PARK. The side
walks must be laid, water mains installed and streets
graded. No objection to your saeing it, now. No objec
tion to your picking out your lot. No objection to your
making your first payment. Better do it.

No interest, no taxes to pay and nothing to
worry y ou while you are paying for a home
site in H YDE PARK.
It is specified! in our contract for sale that the purchaser
does not ha e to pay any interest whatever during the time
he is paying for the lot. The'same is true of the taxes.
We will atten d to those matters. Have you any idea what
that means? It means much. v
Prices from $200 up and terms 10 down and
from $1 to $2 a week, with 10 per cent off
these prices to all who buy before opening day
This is the astounding part of the JACOBS-STINE offer.
Have you ever heard tell of so splendid an offer? Never.
This company is the first in the real estate history of the
Northwest to offer such liberal buying inducements. It's
in line with their policy.
We will give five lots absolutely free to the
first five persons who will agree to build
their homes in HYDE PARK.
If you ever had any intention of building a home, if you
ever hoped to build a home, if you ever really wanted to
build a home, did anyone ever make you such a liberal,
open-handed and fair proposition as this? These five lots
will probably go tomorrow morning. Better be one of the
first. Call at once for further particulars.

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.
