EREGT400H0USES Owners of Eighty-Acre Addi tion Outline Policy for Speedy Improvement. AWARD DEPOT CONTRACT Southern Pacific to Furnish Facili ties for Fast Side Passengers "and Shippers Values Advance With Street Improvements. B! things are in store for the north eastern portion of the city and suburbs. The Gregory Invrstment Company, of Seattle and Tacoma. which recently ac quired JO acres north of Montavilla and near the Country Club Krounds. Is hav ing the tract platted preparatory to ex tensive Improvements. Streets are to be Improved and the owners announced that they will erect " houses In the tract. Averts have been Investigating the faclllttes for getting material by way of the O. R. & X. Company's main line. A vast amount of material will be re Quired for street improvements and for the erection of houses. It Is desired to receive material at the sidiny In North Montavllla. where the Montavilla Board of Trade Is working to secure the establishment of a pass enter and freight dpot. These agents consulted the local lumber dealers about the delivery of lumber at this station. Another 20-acre tract called Leabo Addi tion Is being platted near the east side of Montavllla. and the promoters of this tract announce that they will park and Improve the streets, plant thousands of choice roses1 and otherwise beautify the tract. They. too. are anxious to have the depot in North Montavilla. Secretary William Deveny, of the Montavllla Board of Trade, says there will be no difficulty In showing that the d-pot is needed and will pay with nil these Improvements under way. The Board of Trade will hire a man and pay h'm for taking care of the depot for sev eral months simply to show that It will pay the company. Ground for this depot was donated to the company several years ago with the understanding that a permanent depot would be established whenever It could be shown that it would psy to do so. With the big improvement project ry th Gregory Investment Company, the platting of the Leabo tract and the gen eral growth of that section, it is thought that it can be shown that the depot is needed now. This movement had its start by the acquisition of 1135 acres of land by Hartman & Thompson two years ago in the northeastern section, out of which have been formed Rose City Park. Belle Cre?. Hyde Park, the Country Club. Elmhurst and North Belle Crest. In which great Improvements have been made. Besides what has already been done the Rose City Park League has ascertained that plans for 50 new homes have been prepared to be built in the Spring. Contract for Depot Is Iet. Contractor Robert Wakefield, of this elty, secured the contract for the erec tion of the passenger depot to be erected for the Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany at East First and East Morrison streets, at figures not announced. Ten contractors submitted bids, but the suc cessful contractor Is under the J1S.KX) estimate of the cost of the building. The contract calls for the beginning of con struction at once, and work will be started next week. Piles will be driven through the fill for the foundation of this structure, and concrete blocks will be used. It must be completed by April 1. 19u9. Getting this depot Is the result of a movement inaugurated by the East Side Improvement Association two years ago. General Manager O'Brien Anally notify ing W. L. Boise, the president in a per sonal letter last Summer that the struc ture would be erected. Mr. Boise de- erves much credit for the work he did In securing this depot, and Manager O'Brien declared that Boise kept ham mering at him for that depot so that as a matter of self-defense the general manager had to promise it. That it will be a great improvement for Cen tral East Portland Is admitted, and in particular will help the wholesale dis trict. Number of Important Sales.

BUILDING RECORD GREAT MONTH TO DATE FIGURES OVETt $830,000. Property Grows in Value. J. II. Nolta Is considering the matter of erecting a 4-story reinforced concrete building on Killingsworth avenue in the fpring. to be built on the ground In front of his home. He thinks that the time Is ripe for the erection of that rs of buildings in North Albina. Mr. Nolta has already put up several build ings on Killingsworth avenue that have proved profitable. So valuable has prop erty on this avenue become that it will not pay to erect a cheap structure. Lots that sold a few years ago for Imo are being held for $5000 on this street, this Increase having been made within the pa.-t three years. The cost of the Improvement on Kill ingsworth avenue was high, but tha property owners now say that It paid well to have It laid In the advance In property valuations which have come all along the street as a result of this hard pavement. The intention now is to pave KUlingsworth avenue west from Patton avenue, the end of the present Improvement to Willamette boulevard, which will make It part of the boulevard system of the Peninsula. Many Flats Are Built. A considerable number of apartments and Bats have been erected and others A considerable portion of Floral Park, on the Sellwood line, at Midway, has been sold off, and the remainder of the tract will be disposed of within a month. Lots range from $.150 to $450. The buyers contemplate the erection of homes on their lota An important sale of Brooklyn property on fcjlsworth street and Grand avenue, comprising a block and a half, is an nounced, for $16,000.

A quar ter of the property sold has already been disposed of, for $7000, fronting on Grand avenue and Ellsworth street. This sale Is the largest ajid most Important made In the Brooklyn district. Dr. Dav Raf fety, who owns considerable property near there, cays: "The sale of this block and a half means that the O. W. P. will not cut further Into the bank, and will add very much to te value of all the surrounding property. I am mightily pleased over the transfer." '' Filling Stephens Slough. Stephens Slough Is being filled with saw dust from Inman-Poulsen & Co. s saw mill. West of the Grand-avenue bridge the filling is completed nearly to East Third street and across the slough. The office of the company on Union avenue will be moved south and the place filled up. Sawdust is being used for filling, and on the top of Oils dirt Is being placed to a depth of five and ten feet. Just what all thla property will finally be used for Is not announced ty the millowners, but it is thought it will he used for railway trackage. Sawdust does not make a solid foundation for heavy buildings, but will carry trackage. At any rate, the slough Is being rapidly filled up. Work on the Homeopathic Hospital, under construction on East Second and Multnomah streets, is progressing. There was some delay owing to the cold weather, but now work Is going forward again. The fifth and last story has been reached. The building Is of reinforced concrete. HURRY INDIAN LAND CASES Owen Asks to Pnsh Settlement Titles In Oklahoma. of WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.

"At the first moment you slip oft your horse and shoot him. 'Sometimes the lion will charge at you. If he does you gallop out of the way and wait for another opportunity. If he charges while you are off your horse and you fail to hit him it may be awkward. "When ycu wound an elephant It often will make a savage rush at you. While BASE AGEES On Mt.
