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.

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

An important sale of Brooklyn property
on fcjlsworth street and Grand avenue,
comprising a block and a half, is an
nounced, for $16,000. The particulars are
not given out as yet, but it Is under
stood that Grand avenue will be extended
south several blocks from Its present end
Rt Ellsworth street, making fine resi
dence lots of the property sold. 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.

'Sometimes the lion will charge at you.
If he does you gallop out of the way and
