Marked : Improvement Noticed In
: Growing Suburban District
of East Side.
"The. average advance of. all lots in
the Mount 6cott district," said W. H.
Spicer yesterday, "for the past 12 months
has: been $100 and the increase Is going
on. Closing of the Madlson-etreet bridge
ana tne- lack of Bull Run water, are
hurting us somewhat but these will come
in time the Madison-street bridge will
be rebuilt and we will get . Bull Run
water In the course of time. Just how
many houses are being built out here
would be hard to say. but tha number
runs up into the hundreds."
Conditions in this fine auburn with fully
16,000 or more people Justifies what Mr.
apicer has to say. The growth here Is
remarkable. Beginning at creston, which
is on the north side of the Powell Valley
road, along that road for miles new
homes are being erected. Clearing of
land is going on. This settlement has
extended southward toward Syoamore
station on the O. P. W. line near Gilbert's
crossing. At least 20 houses have been
erected at Gilbert Crossing district. Most
of these homes are' on from one to five
acres, a garden and some poultry, and
the people are thrifty. This suburb is
about seven miles from Portland. Two
years ago the district was covered with
logs and brush, and was most unpromis
ing in appearance, but the soil has proved
excellent. .... . .
Lenta is the business center of this
portion of the Mount Scott district. It
Is five m(lej from Portland. . A rein
forced concrete Grange hall Is being
completed at a cost of $7000. A brick
building has been erected by.O. R. Ad
dison and Is now. occupied. A big paint
store will occupy the lower room of the
Grange hall, one of the largest in Mult
nomah County outside of Portland. A
large frame business house is being built
on Main street. Between Lents and
Creston on either side of the Foster road
every acre with a few exceptions has
been . platted, and 90 per cent has been
sold otff to home builders. On both' sides
of the Foster road the growth is re
markable. The schoolhouse erected at
Arleta is overcrowded and portable rooms
must be used In connection with tha
Creston building. At Lents the 12-room
schoolhouse Is too small and two port
able classrooms have ,been provided for
territory will become part of the city
by July through the annexation vote of
last June. The old Mllwaukle road, or
Gray's Crossing. Is the dividing line, and
yet more than half of the settled por
tion of the Mount Scott district Is still
left out. The part which comes in con
tains 10,000 people, perhaps more.
