$125,000.
EAST SIDE STREET-MAKING
Upward of $2,000,00 Being Ex
pended in Opening "ew Thor
oughfares and Modernizing Old

Blue print plan for the Homeo
pathic Hospital to be erected on East
Second and Hassalo street, have been
filed with Building Inspector Dobson.
For the present only one wins of tne
building will be built and the remain
der will be erected as soon as required.
The part to be built will cost about
$125,000. Contract for the foundation
was let the rast week to the Hurley
Mason Company for $10,000. Excavat
ing has already been finished, and it
only remains to put In the concrete
wa'l The east half of the block on
which the hospital will stand will re
main unoccupied until the other por
tion of the hospital Is built.
W. L Morgan has the contract to
erect a two-story residence for H. 8.
Donnell on Roes street In McMillan's
Addition to cost $3600. The Kenton
. Building and Contracting Company
has purchased 250.000 feet of rough
lumber preparatory to the erection of
5 cottages in the new town of Ken
ton on the Peninsula, This purchase
Is said to be only a starter. During
the past week C O. Fields began lay
ing water mains for the supply sys
tem of tha townsite. Connection will
be made with the Delaware street
pipe. There will be most extraordi
nary building activity ail over the
Peninsula during the next year. Pre
diction is made that within ten years
thrre will be 100.000 residents between
Ktlllnasworlh avenue and the Junction
of the Columbia and Willamette
Rivers.
Activity in the older sections and
starting up of new work everywhere
certainly point to a great population.
In a short time the depot for the
North Bank Railroad will be started
near Columbia boulevard. Assurances
hare been given the Meagly Junction
Improvement Association that this
depot will be built.
Sales and Improvements.
Sales on the East Side for the past
week averaged up well, while new
buildings projected and started were
in advance of records for several
weeks. The sales, mostly in residence
districts, were widely scattered. The
remark has become proverbial that
Portland does not grow in parts, but
grows as a whole. The building per
mits show that every section east of
the Willamette share alike in the
genera! lorword movement, ranging
from the cottage to the high-class
residence costing well up into the
thousands.
Margaret L. Hennlng bought three
lets !r. Block 36, in the Irvington tract,
for 14200. In the Hanson Addition J.
G. Jones bought a nouee and Lot 2.
In Block IT, for $iT00, and in the Til
tor, driltion near by. Bertlne H. Prud
homme bought a house and fraction of a
lot for $3250.
Many sales have been made along
Hawthorne avenue to Mount .Tabor,
and a number of handsome homes
costing upwards of $5000 are being
built. In the Murray Hill Addition,
near Hawthorne avenue, Sadie J. Clagg
bought the east half of two lots in
Block 1, with a house, for $3500.
At Mount Tabor George A. Andrews
sold to J. H. Zimmer a parcel of land
on West avenue for $1200. The Ore
gon Real Estate Company sold to Jas
per Crane two lots In Block ITS, Holla
day Addition, for $4250.
North Albina Improvements.
Over $100,000 will be expended In
new buildings on Kllllngsworth ave
nue within the next few months.
Francis I. McKenna, who owns a block
on Patton and Kllllngsworth avenues,
has had clans prepared Tor a three
story reinforced concrete structure to
cover a quarter block. The lower
floors will be occupied by stores and
the two upper stories will be for hotel
purposes. The cost of the building
projected will be probably $35,000. H.
A. Ruble also will erect a business
building on Kllllngsworth avenue to
cost about $10,000. Two other build
ings are projected to be erected .at
once.
Kllllngsworth avenue promises to
be a business center. Its growth has
been remarkable. Only four years ago
It was a mere cowpath, and no one
dreamed It would become a business
street in so short a time. But the
stumps were cut out and the street
graded, and now a first-class hard-surface
pavement Is being laid between
Union and Patton avenues at , a cost
of $T3 001, and between Patton avenue
and Willamette boulevard a gravel im
provement costing $20,000 has been
provided for. If the plans are carried
out to widen the street to SO feet be
tween Willamette boulevard and San
dy road, a distance of six miles. It will
be one of the finest streets in North
East Side. Property on Kllllngsworth
avenue between Williams avenue and
Willamette bdulevard has rapidly In
creased in value. Some of the quar
ters are held at $10,000, others at
$5000. and very little of the property
is for sale at any price at all.
Large Sums for Street Work.
Projected street improvements on the
East Side run up to a large sum. Haw
thorne avenue pavement from East Third
to East Fiftieth, $lt,0f0; Grand avenue,
between Gllsan and Broadway. $45,000;
Union avenue, between Holladay avenue
and Highland. $170,000: Clinton street. $14.
070: East First, $10.2tS3; Kllllngsworth
avenue. $19,778: East Madison, I2S.0S5:
East Third. $74,303. These are all hard
surface except on Kllllngsworth avenue
where gravel will ba used for a short dis
tance, and the fills on "East Third, between
Hawthorne avenue and East Oak street.
On Hawthorne avenue the relaying of
the car tracks will cost the street railroad
company $110,000. On Union avenue there
will be about the same cost for heavy
rails.
These streets total $519,600 as cost of
new work, but are only a fraction of the
total amount of street work under way all
over the East Side. The total amount on
the East Side would easily run up to $2.
O00.OCO. Including the wholesale street work
undertaken by owners of tracts, like Irv

Improvements at Sunnyside.
At Sunnyside many of the important
streets are being improved. East thirty

crushed rock between the Base Line road

and Hawthorne avenue at a cost of over
$S,000. East Taylor street has Just been
paved with crushed rock between East
Thirty-fifth and East Forty-sixth streets,
this being done at a cost of $21,000.
Work has been started on Belmont street
east from East Thirty-fourth street. This
street will be improved with hard-surface
pavement first to East Thirty-ninth
street and then on the West avenue. It
will bring into Sunnyside the trade of a
large section eastward. With the pav
ing of Hawthorne avenue to East Fiftieth
street with hard-surface Improvement and
the completion of Belmont pavement to
the river, Sunnvslde will have two fine
streets. New buildings are being erected
all over this section of the city. All
houses are occupied. Beyond East Thirty
ninth street, the old limits of Sunnyside.
the district is building up with new
homes to West avenue. Here the streets
have been largely closed up, but proceed
ings have been started to open most of
the principal streets between the Base
Line road and Hawthorne avenue and
also east and west. Water mains have
been ordered laid on Belmont street as
soon as the Improvement is under way.
Sewers will be put in within the next few
months.
Permanent Pavements Best.
Hard surface pavements and permanent
Improvements are expensive at the start,
but not so expensive as the cheaper in
the long run. In the Irvington tract,
where something over 43 blocks are being
provided with sewers, water mains and
hard-surface pavements on all streets
north of Thompson, the cheapest lots are
$1000. Before these improvements were
projected lots -could be bought most any
where in the district from $300 to $800.
but lots are selling for three times these
figures. The whole district Is being made
a hard-surface district. The cost of street
work alone is estimated at $250,000. On
East Twenty-second street the street rail
way company Is laying heavy steel rails
on concrete, with Belgian blocks, north
to Knott street. Hard-surface pavement
has now been put down on Thompson
street between East Seventh and East
Twentv-fourth street
Beginning at East Fourteenth out to
East Twenty-second, all the streets north
ward are being paved either with asphalt
nr bltulithic pavement. The Irvington
Lawn Tennis clubhouse, which stands on
Thompson and Twenty-second, was built
among the trees, but is now being sur
rounded by attractive homes. Sales In the
Irvington tract northward from Thomp
son are quarter blocks mostly, and a large
number of attractive homes are rapidly
springing up on all the new streets. It
may be truly said that the steam roller
is the forerunner of substantial progress.
South from Thompson, under the inspi
ration and encouragement of the Holla-day-Irvington
Improvement Association,
the general plan to pave all streets uni
formly Is being worked out. It Is safe to
say that inside of five years the great
district northward from Sullivan's gulch
to Vernon and east of Union avenue will
be all paved with some kind of hard-surface
roadway, replacing air gravel or
macadam pavements. There are more
streets being so improved in this district
than any portion of the city, and in ho
section -are more or a better class of
dwellings being erected.

The largest and most substantial tract ever placed on the market. Since these
acres were platted we 'have sold a most flattering number to prominent business
men, homeseekers, and to some of Portland's early settlers, which is very grati
fying to us. We still have a fine selection left to choose from, and feel certain
that we can please you. "We have improved, unimproved and some of the choic

is worth more than what we are asking for them.

Buys Streetcar as Souvenir.
CHICAGO. Ag. 22. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Milwaukle, Wis., says:
President Fred D. Underwood, of the
Er.e Railroad, has purchased an old
fashioned streetcar, the first in which he
ever rode, and shipped It to Wauwatosa.
where it will ba set up as an outdoor
reading-room on the grounds of his an
cestral home. The streetcar opened his
eyes to the possibilities of traffic on rails
when he was a boy and turned his at
tention to railroading. Mr. Underwood
has kept the old homestead, which he
visits once a year, in such condition that
many of his friends may spend their
Summers there. . There are three tents
for overflow visitors.
