THE IDEA has probably often occurred to you
as to the pleasure of having a nice little ranch
of your own. A place where you can go down
over Sunday for a rest.- A place where you can go in
the Summer and build up your system after the long,
trying days of the Winter months.
But did it ever occur to you that, in addition to pleas
ure, THERE IS A BIG PROFIT in an ORCHARD?
The Bishop Scott Academy Trustees will plant 50
acres of land in walnuts, to provide an ENDOW
MENT FUND for the school.
The Jacobs-Stine Company will plant Riverside Or-1
chards to Walnuts, using Cherries, Peaches and Fil
. berts as "Fillers."
Look in the opposite column and see what the profits
will be.
. Remember, our personal guarantee goes with every
tract. We .take care of each orchard for four years
without additional expense, and turn it over to the
purchaser with every tree
perfect.

Realty Deals Contingent on
Election Now Are Being
Closed Up.

tion of Southeastern Districts
Embraces Weil-Built Suburbs.
Pain In East Side property, which
ere a little alack for three weeks be
fore election, are expected to pick up
from now on. Real estate men say that
a number of Important deals were con
tingent on the outcome of the election,
and these will likely, be consummated.
Several buildings near the east end of
the Burnside bridge are expected to be
taken up and pushed forward.
Among- the more important transac
tions for the past week was the letting
of the contract for the paving of Union
avenue between Holladay avenue and
Alberta street, an Improvement that
will cost 110.755. As this street will
be laid with hard-surface pavement, it
will necessitate the relaying of the
double tracks for the streetcar com
pany with heavy steel rails, which will
cost about 1150.000.
Completion of the reinforced con
crete bridge across Sullivana Gulch by
the Northwest Bridge Company the
past week was Important for a great
district In that portion of the city. It
Is a very beautiful structure, and a
credit to the city and builders.
Plans for Depot Completed.
Plans for the East Side Depot have
been completed, and the contract for
the building will be let this month. It
will cost ( I R.OOO. Concrete blocks will
be used, and the foundation will be of
plies driven through the fill which has
Just been finished on the corner of East
Morrison and First streets. The build
ing will be l!0x3 feet in slxe.
Just before the election the owner of
the Lambert building on Union avenue
and East Ash stret was negotiating for
the sale of the building for US. 000. and
had nearly consummated the deal; but
since the result of the election became,
known he has increased the price to
$0.000, and Is not anxious to sell at
that price. With the Presidential elec
tion settled be considers the property
worth 1 15.000 more than while there
was doubt over the outcome. The build
ing In question Is a three-story struc
ture and cost $40,000 to put up. The
paving contract for hard-surface pave
ment for two miles northward from
Holladay avenue to Highland adds very
much to the Importance of Union ave
nue, and all property on the street.
Highway Down the Peninsula.
Gradually but surely a splendid high
way is being developed that will ex
tend to the end of the Peninsula. The
first part of this driveway la being
completed, Ktlllngsworth avenue being
tart of it. Union avenue, which Is to
be paved with bard-surface roadway.
will be part of this through street
Contract has been let for over two
miles of bard-surface pavement out to
Highland.. and It is hoped to have this
Improvement extend on to Killings
worth avenue, when the main portion
of the driveway will have been com
pleted through the settled sections.
The next step will be to open, the street
from Killingsworth avenue down the
Peninsula. One proposition Is to pave
Greely street to Dawson and then Im
prove Dawson on to the St. John line,
and another Is to make Willamette boule
vard part of this thoroughfare.
As the Greely-Dawson street route Is
In the center of the Peninsula it seems to
be the favorite, provided the property
owners conclude to have a right sort of
pavement laid on the streets.
L. C. Fones. and some others, are pull
ing for the improvement of Greely street
between Killingsworth avenue and Daw
son street and some grading has already
been done; but there Is some opposition
to putting down bard-surface pavement
owing to the cost, but Mr. Fones bopes
to convince the opponents that In the
end It will be to their advantage to have
hard-surface pavement put down, owing
to Its lasting qualities and In considera
tion of the amount of travel the street
will carry.
It Is figured that the Swift plant and
other Industries on the Peninsula will
necessitate construction of this through
street. It will soon be necessary to make
Willamette boulevard, which follows the
Willamette River closely, a street and
have It Improved with hard-surface pave
ment. This Improvement would likely
have to be made through district assess
ment by some other way. as one side
fronts on the Willamette River for most
of the distance and the property-owners
on the other side may decline to carry
the burden.
Effect of Annexed District.
Annexation of a portion of the Mount
Scott district, and also the strip east of
Montavllla. adds about 10.000 people to
he population inside the city limits; and
Vet a considerable section at Lents, be
yond Gray'a Crossing. Is left out, which
sontalns at least 6000 more people. This
territory has all the elements of a well
fcullt suburb. It has . churches, school
bouse and about 1500 dwellings. This
llstrict Is mainly supplied by the Wood
mere Water Company, which has .a
pumping station located at the electric
railway junction east of Lents, soma dis
tance beyond the new city limits. The
people doubtless soon will move for a
pipe line and Bull Run water. According
to a member of the Water Committee,
under the present amendment to the City
Charter, the people of the Mount Scott
district can have a 24-inch main laid
the same as a sewer conduit, by petition
ing for it and then paying for It by dis
trict assessment.
Annexation was fought and won on
the water question, as the people suffered
great shortage last year. A 24-Inch
water main, which Is the same as the
main laid two years ago for the Penin
sula, which cost about $250,000. will be
needed, but such main for the Mount
Scott district will cost a great deal less,
as the distance will be less than one
half. It has been the hope of the peo
ple of the district that a reservoir would
be built on Mount Scott, but that is an
uncertain question.
There is the Woodmere Water Com
pany's plant already In the field. A por
tion of the Bervlce pipes In this district
might be used until larger mains could
be used, but as a means of relief before
the shortage of next Summer comes, it
would be necessary to lay a main and
connect with the Woodmere company's
pipe lines. At Woodstock the district
is fairly well supplied by a private water
companr. However, with annexation will
come the demand that the people get
their water at the same rates as are
charged In the city.
It may be said with truth that the
Mount Scott district is one of the most
prosperous suburbs of Portland. It Is
estimated that over 90 per cent of the
people living there own their own homes,
which are largely paid for.
Work has been started on the founda
tion of a new edifice for the First United
Evangelical Church, on East Sixteenth
and Ponlar streets. In the Ladd tract
on Hawthorne avenue. The church will
be 53x72 and will cost J1S.O00. It will
have a cement block foundation and the
main building may be either of cement
or frame construction. It Is expected to
have the structure completed Insldo of
six months. The udltorlum will have a
seating capacity of 400 people and .will
have a modern pipe organ. The society
recently sold its property on the corner
of East Tenth and Sherman strels to
the Church of the Latter Day SalnLs.
Four modern residences are to be
erected in the Ladd Addition on Haw
thorne avenue, cement blocks to be used
In Its construction. They will cost on
an average of $7000 each. These dwell
ings are to be the first ones of a series
of others to be built in this tract of
cement blocks. A. H. Faber has been
engaged as architect for these dwellings.
The floor plans for the new St. Fnincls'
Church. East Pine and Eleventh streets,
have been finished by Architect Faber.
The building will be 184x9 feet, and
when completed will cost $200,000, in
cluding Inside work.
The latest church edifice projected Is
for the First Unlversalist Church, which
will cost about $10,000. The Unlversalist
Convention has offered to make a cash
donation of $5000 toward this . building,
which has been accepted. A site in the
residence district about East Twentieth
street will likely be selected.
Progress on Swift Plant.
Within another month. It is estimated
the foundations for the bull-lings for
the Swift plant will be completed, and
work will be smarted on the main struc
tures. Good progress is being made also
In the Kenton tract, where a number of
buildings are being erected, part of which
are reinforced concrete. At Meagly
Junction much work is In progress.
The depot for the Spokane. Portland &
Seattle Railroad will be in East St. John
and will be callefl St. John. It will be the
depot for that town. It seems that the
depot for the O. R. & N. has not been
located yet. but the St. John people are
hopeful that It will be located In that
town, or at least within easy reach. They
believe they are entitled to depot fa
cilities from both the North Bank and
the O. B, & N. companies.
