" Construction Will Give
Work to Army of Men.
Plans for ths second Bull Run pipe
line are being completed by Chief ttt,.
gineer Clark, and the bids will soon be
asked for. This contract will be the
largest and most important for a pub
lie improvement let during the year
involving as It will $1,500,000. Already
are looKing forward to this
big Job, that of lay In i? the hiir ivt-ir..
conduit from the Willamette River- to
iieaaworics on Bull Hull River, a
uioumce or a) miles. It is probable
that the. pipe will come to Portland al
ready riveted and of the jockjoint kind,
ready to be laid.- Pine of ihi nr. .

" -o oe rivet- xne rirst pipe line
which was laid was made here, and
came In plates. Facilities for handling
the pipe are much better now than
when the first pipe line was built. An
electric railway now runs most of the
distance, and pipe can be shipped out
over this line to Gresham and Boring
and then hauled to the route. It was
hoped that the Mount Hood Railway
would have been built to the Sandy, in
wnicn event it would have provided
even more direct transportation fa
cilities. It is probable that bids may be asked
for several kinds of material, nteel
wood and wrought and cast iron, with
the advantage in favor of the lockjoint
BLeei pipe, rracucauy the same route
w me present pipe line will be fol
lowed witn slight variations in the
vicinity of Gresham. The road for the
pipe - line is cleared and bridges -have

merous spans across Bull Run stream
are an ready for the second Pipe line. ,

tnan cast or wrought iron, the latter
material may be used. Wood is con-
siuerea wnouy unsulted for this cli
mate and concrete has been elimi
nated. While steel Is subject to
electrolysis it can alBo be repaired
easily and by laying It in a gravel bed
me electricity does not affect it at
ail. - of course, it will be a big job
m .rmy oi men will De employed
for many months in putting down the
pipe. i
It is probable that die-irlnir
will be used for most Of the distance,
but in the steep, rough country, hand
work will do the excavating. Who
ever gets the contract wll employ : a
lot of men and the money will be dis
tributed here. - While not as much
hauling by team will -be done as was
done when the first pipe line was laid,
still there will be much work for team
sters. The country between Portland
and the headwbrks will'- reap large
benefit, aa it did when the -first pipe
line was laid. It Will be an noeanlnn
of - rejoicing when the contract for the
work has been let and operations be
gin. Following will be the construc
tion of the two reservoirs at Mount
Tabor, for which the grounds are now
being secured.

this city, and gentlemen who
. know say It has not an equal on
this Coast. Its builder and own
? - en T. O. ' Sands, was a resident
.m of Portland for many years, but .
at his business affairs so shaped
, themselves that it became nec-
essary to change his home to Ta
J coma. Still his heart is in the
, right place and his largest prop
. erty Interests are in the Rose'
City. This building, which, with
the grounds, represent an in
vestment approximating ,$40,000,
is only part of his interests here,
so that it Is seen that his judg
ment is well balanced, no matter
where his abiding place may be.
The Re-Ukan is named after a
celebrated Norwegian waterfall.
The building Is three stories high
and contains every modern im
' provement and convenience of
the rich man's domicile, yet it
Is Intended to rent its twelve
suites at $46 and $50 per month.
It has its electric passenger ele

nunciator, both telephones in
each suite, private bath and the

The site was once the locatior
J of - a swell " aristocratic residence
o of that cultivated neighborhood,
. which building was removed by
Mr. Sands. The scenery from the
J porches Is certainly a delight to the senses, and if one were to spend $20,000 in building a home, he could
9 have nothing more elegant, modern, convenient and luxurious. Mr Sand's office is at 307-Failing building.
