The reinforced concrete bridge across
Sullivan' Gulch on East Twenty -eighth
street will be completed In about a
month. Rapid proaress is being made
by the Pacific BrUlge Work!, which has
the contract. All the wooden portions
of the structure are completed and the
concrete Is now being mixed and poured
Into the forms.
Completion of this bridge will form a
connection across Sullivan's Oulch for
streetcar traffic. There has been a de
cided movement south of the gulch. The
Sullivan tract, which ' was recently
platted, has been partly sold. Lots
brought JSOOand . where they had
formerly been sold for 1300 and 400.
The completion of this bridge will greatly
help that entire district, especially the
section north of Sullivan's Gulch, which
at present has no carline or way to reach
carllnes south of th gulch.
Widen Klllingsworth Avenue.
The widening of Klllingsworth avenue
awaits the opinion of the City Attorney
as to whether it can be undertaken at
this time, while an improvement is unde,r
way. The avenue Is being paved be
tween Union and Patton avenue. An
other contract Is pending between Pat
ton avenue and Willamette boulevard,
but Is held up by the movement to make
the street 80 feet wide from the boule
vard to the city limits eastward. Also
east of Union avenue, proceedings started
to open the street 60 feet wide have been
suspended for the present. It Is said
that the people prefer making Klllings
worth avenue fO feet wide to the city
limits if it can be done.
If. the widening can be accomplished
Klllingsworth avenue will be one of the
finest highways on the East Side, extend
lrg from the Willamette boulevard
eastward a distance of nearly six miles
and connecting with Rose City Park. The
promoters of this scheme do not expect
to disturb the paving contract between.
Union and Patton avenues now being
carried out, but the purpose Is to get
the street line fixed on both side of
the avenue, and then at the end of the
life of the pavement, ten years, move all
buildings back. Meanwhile all new build
ings could be built on the new street
lines. A business center has already
been developed on Klllingsworth avenue,
where hard-surface pavement Is being put
down.
On the corner of Klllingsworth and
Albina avenues W. H. Foster bought the
southwest corner, with a two-story frame
building, a short time ago of J. H. Nolta
for J15.000.. and he says ilie" Is entirely
satisfied with his Investment. Mr. Fos
ter says that he will move his building
bacK the moment it is decided to widen
the street. Francis I. McKenna, who
owns over a block on the avenue, ad
vocates the widening, and points out
that it would mean Increase of value
for every lot on the street. He cite the
result of the widening of Dawson street
at University Park and Portsmouth,
where the value of lots has more than
doubled. There la a big residence dis
trict east of Union avenue which a wide
street would benefit
w Factory District,
It Is considered likely that Sullivan's
Gulch for a considerable distance will be
made a warehouse and factory district.
A start has been made in that direction.
Plans are now being drawn for the four
story factory building for the Portlid
Mill & Fixture Company and the Port
land Pulley Company, which are to be
combined In one large concern on East
Twenty-sixth street. The ground Is now
graded and ready for the structure. Two
acres will be occupied. The Doernbecker
Furniture Factory was the first concern
to select a location in Sullivan's Oulch.
It employs nearly 200 men. The com
bined companies which are building at
Cast Twenty-sixth street will employ 100
men. Across from the new plant is the
two-story warehouse of Blake A McFall.
Several other sites have been sold In
this gulch.
. Growth to Southward.
South of Kelly road. Including Wood
stock and Treraont, a new residence dis
trict is being developed. At the corner
of Kelly road and the Woodstock road
v J; .000 building has just been completed.
At Ivanhoe half a dozen large buildings
have been erected, including a general
store on the car track. At Woodstock
there is a constant building movement
southward, eastward and westward. Set
tlements have extended southward nearly
a mile.
Woodstock, is an old suburb, compared
with the other suburbs In the southeast,
and It contains an excellent class of
houses. This Is especially true of the
buildings west of the Woodstock car
line on the brow of the hill, overlooking
Portland and the Willamette River.
Alone Kelly road eastward there Is a new
growth of homes. Small houses and tents
ire seen, which have been put up and
occupied by the purchasers to escape rent
In town. All through this district there
Is a good sale of lots to home-builder.
A lot sold one day is occupied by a tent
or temporary house a few days after
ward. East and west of the old Milwau
kie road may be counted over 20 tents and
as many more small houses. After a time
the tents will disappear and In their place
will come attractive cottages. The county
has built some . good roads through this
section.
Build Sawmill at Milwaukie.
The Holloway mill, at Milwaukie, is
now being erected. Some time ago the
Oregon City Pulp Company purchased two
acres on the water front at Milwaukie for
the site of a sawmill, to be used in cut
ting up Cottonwood logs into blocks for
manufacturing pulp for use at the Oregon
City mills. A sidetrack Is being laid to
the stte and work Is now under way. A
considerable number of men will be em
ployed at this mill. The shingle mill at
Milwaukie. which was recently purchased
by the. Hose City Shingle company. Is
being operated to its full capacity.
The contract for a bungalow for I Mc
Cormick has been let to Mayor Shlndler,
who will start work at once. In a few
weeks the City Hall of Milwaukie will be
completed. A number of dwellings are
under way. and others are to be built. In
the Sellwood tract, which wa recently
platted, a number of cottages are being
built. At the east side of Milwaukie, In
the Mlnthorny district, also considerable
land has been sold and several new houses
are being built.
There is Inquiry for acreage tracts at
ililwaukie. Owing to the conditions and
sjti. the land Is adapted to' grape culture.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29. Considerable
progress In the advancement of the

Is announced In a report issued by the

and cleanliness, rapid progress should be
made during the next few years.
It may not be long, according to the re
