Many Houses and Business Build

Everything Points to Busy

The practical certainty that the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company will erect
a. sightly passenger depot at East Mor
rison and East First streets, for which
plans have been prepared, has greatly
stimulated property values In that neigh.
orhood. Plans for this structure show a
butMIng of concrete bldcks. 110x30 feet,
provided with m-atting-rooms and a shel
tered area on the Eaet First street front.
At present the half block between East
Morrison and East Alder streets, on East
First." Is being filled. General Manager
O'Brien told the committee from the East
Side -that he wanted the depot built on
solid ground, so It could be made beauti
fuL 'He also assured the committee that
the building weuld be completed by the
first of the year, which means that work
must start very soon.
It Is also. proposed by East Side citizens
to Insist on the freight depot, which hag
long -b?en . promised. It ie felt among
business, men- that this freight depot is
even more necessary than a passenger
depot,, but the people will wait until the
passenger station Is built, and then take
up the Question of erecting the freight
depot. . It Is supposed that the erection
of the passenger depot depends somewhat
on tire progress mada on the fills and the
move to erect big warehouses in this dis
trict. A number of important structures
have already been built in this vicinity,
including the four-story building of Mitch
ell. Iewis & Staver. A large warehouse
for ParTln & Orendorf, covering nearly an
entire block, has also been started. It Is
proposed to erect the freight depot on
East Oak street, between Bust First and
East . Second, accessible to lines on both
these streets.
. Conditions Good, Says Dealer.
"I never saw conditions better for
Bast Side property than right now,1' said
W. H. Mall. "There Is constant Inquiry
for East Side investments from ail di
rections. Some important buildings are
projected In the near future, which have
not been announced, in addition to those
already under way. We can today see
more people on Union and Grand avenups
than ever before, and with the comple-
; tion of the Union-avenue bridge over Sul-
! llvan's Gulch we will see even greater ac
tivity. With big fills under way. build-
' lngs going up everywhere and many sales
being made, conditions are certainly fa-
' vorable."
When the Union-avenue bridge la fin.
ished across Sullivan's Gulch, which will
be done by October U It will result In In-i
creased rivalry between Union and Grand I
avenues, ae 'to which snail be the- more
Important street. On Union avenue all
stores are occupied. In this district it is
thought that the erection of the passenger
depot for the Southern Pacific will also
tend to promote building improvements,
Completion of East Alder street between
East Water atreet and Union avenue will
aiao greatly facilitate the general pro
gressive movement In Central East Port
land. Work on Great Fills.
The Pacific Bridge Company has com
pleted about four miles of temporary
trackage all through East Portland, on
which t run its travel trains, and has
started on big filling centracta. which
mean the moving of at least 4,000.000 cubic
yards of material. Ths far-reaching ef
fect of this movement can hardly be real
ized at this time. All old residents realize
that the flat land between Union avenue
and the Willamette River has always held
up development, but these low lands are
now to disappear. First, the streets are
being filled, and then tb vacant blocks
are to be filled up to grade.
The Pacific Bridge Company has erected
a filling plant that cost W0O.OOO to carry
out these big contracts, and is now scoop
ing material from the bottom of the Wil
lamette River and making the fills, deep
ening and making valuable the East Side
water front, where the river has always
been shallow. The filling plan Includes
the filling- of the streets first through the
district between Belmont street and Haw
thorne avenue, so that property-owners
may bond their holdings. Then will come
the filling of the blocks up to basement
level. '
- Rapid Growth at Vernon.
It is not possible to keep in touch
with the progress of building in the resi
dence districts on- the East Side, except
by frequent personal visits. Buildings
are being put up in every section. A re
markable growth may be seen in Ver
non, where two or three years ago there
was nothing but brush. This section is
growing north toward the Columbia
Slough. A good class of homes has been
erected In this part of the city. ' but at
present it is a purely residence district.
The people of Vernon, are much Inter
ested in the movement to secure 1600 acres
on the Columbia River for a great park.
This is part of the proposed system for
Portland and It would seem, from the
trend of the building movement, that it
la in the right direction, for Portland Is
rapidly spreading from river to river.
Walnut Park, between "Williams and
Union avenues, is filling up with a fine
class of homes, and is one of the at
tractive sections of the city.
Piedmont addition on Union avenue,
where there has always been a building
restriction, is another scene of construc
tion activity. At Woodlawn and its sur
roundings there is activity In all direc
tions. Slowly but surely the gravel pits
are disappearing, and as the streets are
Improved these unsightly excavations will
finally be filled up, thus removing a
great obstacle to advancement. There is
already demand for better car service
than that now afforded by the Alberta
line, which runs to East Twenty-eighth
street. .
IOwer Albina Progressing.
Through the Initiative of Councilman
Menefee, the Btreets in Lower Albina
nave nearly all been improved. Russell
street was improved, with hard-surface
pavement at its lower end. Improvement
of these streets has stimulated building.
H. '. Mayor, who owns a four-acre,
tract in Lower Albina, is arranging to
build a I&0.A00 cold-storsge plant near the
second Albina ferry, where he will have
access to transportation both by water
and rail. His plans are to handle poultry
on a large scale, and do a general cold
storage business. He will probably start
work on tne building some time this
Fall. .
The movement to make Albina avenue a
70-foot street northward to the Columbia
boulevard is a popular one so far as
Lower Albina avenue is concerned, as it
will bring to that section a large amount
