Street Work.
IRON WORKS PLANS MADE
Warehouse District to Be Greatly
Enlarged by Reason of Exten
sive Fills That Are Being
Made In District.
The practical c-ertmnty that Grand ave
iur. win be paved hptwwn Belmont and
Kat Clay Ktrcftg with Hassam improve
ment, and that Kast Third street will he
tilled between Hawthorne avenue and
district In East Portland will be held
as soon as arrao sements can be made
concerning a freigrht depot. Statistics
will be collected of freigrht shipments to
demonstrate the need of this depot. The
Harriman Interests own property on
East Oak street between Second and
Third streets, and somewhere In this
vicinity it is proposed that such depot
should be erected.
C. A. Biselow. president of the East
Side Business Mens Club, says that he
does not expect much opposition from
the Harriman interests, in view of the
great business expansion that Is going
on in this district. Another argument
Is that the West Side main line will
shortly be brought Into Portland
through the East Side by way of the
bridge at Oswego, and In view of the
settled fact that half a million will be
spent in new buildings in the East Side
warehouse district during the year
either now under way. or for which
plans have been prepared.
The East Side Business Men's Club
has plans for becoming a permanent
factor in that portion of the city. Of
course, the club Is already a big fac
tor, and it proposes to secure ample
quarters in one of the modern brick
buildings being erected, and negotia
tions are under way. Several rooms will
be leased. There will be secured a
room large enough for ordinary club
meetings that will accommodate be
tween 30 and 50. Besides, there will be
reception, smoking and reading-rooms.
These are Its plans in outline, and
that they can be carried out there Is
no question. In view of what the club
has accomplished In the past. Practi-

Portland now has 225,000 people and the ocean beach resorts she now
enjoys are crowded to suffocation, therefore how will it be in 1912, when we
have from 500,000 to 600,000 people?
All ocean beach property along our Oregon Coast will become, because of
its scarcity, very valuable simply by the law of Supply and Demand. And
those Ocean Resort properties being the shortest distance from Portland, hence
consuming the shortest length of time to get to them, will become and re
main the most valuable. Don't let that fact get away from you. The Pa
cific Railway & Navigation Co.'s Ivailroad, now being rushed to completion
from Portland to Tillamook, is 90 miles long, but reaches
NEHALEM BAY
22 miles this side of Tillamook, making the distance to the resorts of Ne
carney City, Seabright and Nehalem Bay Park but about 68 miles, and no
possible chance of a railroad ever entering the country between Portland arid
a beach resort over a shorter route. Ocean and Bay Beach lots now selling
in the resorts of Necarney City, Seabright and Nehalem Bay Park for from
$75 to .200 will bring from $500 to $1000 in the 500,000 year of 1912. "We re
peat, the above resorts are the nearest possible resorts to Portland and will
always remain such.
Since last August Ave have disposed of about 600- lots in these resorts.

N. B. J list after writing this advertisement we closed
a deal with an experienced hotelman name mentioned later
of Portland for a -number of lots in block 1, Seabright,
-just where it joins Necarney City on the south, upon which
lots he will erect a large, handnptne hotel and bathhouse ac
commodations. This is important, and Seabright lots will
advance rapidly.
Fst Oak street at once Is a big gain
for Central East Portland. Grand ave
nue pavement might have been held off
another year and the present bad con
ditions prevailed, but the property-own-
ra all signed a waiver and the Improve
ment will be completed before June,
which will provide a hard-surface pave
ment SO feet wide between East Clay
street and Sullivan's Gulch, later ths
hard-surface pavement will be extended
northward to Hancock street, part of
which Improvement has already been
laid. The Portland Railway. L4eht &
Power Company Is laying double tracks
on Grand avenue, between Sullivan's
Gulch and Holladay avenue, preparatory
to the asphalt to be put down this
Jprlng. Grand avenue is 80 feet wide
to Holladay avenue.
Rev. George B. Van Waters is erect
ing a two-story ' brick covering 100x90
feet on Grand avenue and East Ash
street, at a cost of $30,000. He has leased
the property for a long term of years.
ranlel Kern, who recently purchased a
quarter block from E. H. Virgil on
Grand aveuue. between Bast Ankeny
and Kast Burnstde streets, will improve
the property by the erection of a five
atnry modern brick. A Frier, who se
cured a 25-year lease on the northwest
corner of Grand avenue and East Morri
son streets. Is havlnff plans prepared
for a four-story office building, cover
ing this corner lot 90x50. This building
will cost between $30,000 and $40,000.
Plans for the Phoenix, Iron Works
plant, to be erected on the block recent
ly purchased on East Third and Market
streets, from the Ladd estate for $"J5.000,
have been drawn, and work will start
early this Spring. These plans embrace
foundry, machine shops and secondary
buildings that may be required in an
up-to-date Iron manufacturing establish
ment. There Is a possibility that the
Kast Side approach to the new Madison
street bridge may be on East Market
street, on which this big plant will be
located.
The filling of East Third street is con
sidered the most Important item in con
nection with Central East Portland
progress. This street cuts through the
warehouse district between Union ave
nue and East First street. It is part of
the filling scheme for the whole of this
district which Includes first the filling
or all street to grade. and the v
cant blocks to basement levels after
wards. Hy filling the street first own
ers are permitted to bond their property
for the cost, besides the filling of streets
first means that a considerable portion
of the blocks will be filled from the
spreading out of the embankments, mak
ing the tilling of the blocks to the base
ment level an easy matter.
This embankment on East Third means
mat Tor East Portland another business
street will be developed to Sullivan
uuicn. with the result that another
steel bridge will be called for across
Sullivan's Gulch on East Third street.
Hard pavement has been laid on East
Third between East Oak and East Burn
side and the street is improved with
crushed rock to Sullivan's Gulch. It can
be seen that East Third, with a bridge
over Sullivan's Gulch, would bring Hol
laday Addition close to the Burneide and
Morrison bridges.

Ground was broken Wednesday for the
foundation of a two or three-story brick
building to be erected on the corner of

Steady progress Is being made In the
work of clearing Hawthorne Park of
trees. There are nearly 10 acres in
this tract, and It Is the intention of
the Hawthorne estate to plat the tract
and throw It open to purchasers. All
streets will be opened and extensive
fills will be made. By filling up the ra
vine running through the park at least
four full blocks will be made. The open
ing of this tract is considered of great
advantage to tne East side as all the
streets between Belmont street and
Hawthorne avenue, now closed except
jast uayior, win be opened to the
public.
