except the signboard drawn in by our artist. It is a quiet, secluded spot
yet near both .the hotel and the amusement park,, while the great plunge
bath, the largest in the world, is also easily accessible. In this section
as elsewhere the streets are being paved and sidewalked. The ocean
is but a few blocks away.

William Pollvka sold a houaa and lot

BIG BUILDINGS PROPOSED
Bnflnexs Center to Be KstabllRhed
MTiere Big Fllte Have Reclaimed
Valuable Traots of Land in
East Side Gulch.
Within a few days the work of driving
plies will start for the foundation of the
six-story reinforced concrete bulldins; to
e erected by W. Morajan on the
northwest comer of Grand avenue and
Kast Btark street. The driver. Is now be
Inn built for this work. The cost of this
building Is estimated at o.00O. The
building Is the first of the three to be
erected on this Intersection during the
year, and Is a significant building move
ment, as it means a struggle to wrest
the business center from East Morrison
street, which has always .held the. su
premacy In Central East Portland, as It
connects directly with the Morrison street
bridge.
Mr. Morgan and his associates believe
that In the future a bridge across the
Willamette River, or a subway, will be
built at Stark street, and are willing to
back up their judgment by Investing
nearly a quarter million In buildings on
Kast Btark street.
Aa this reinforced sla-story building will
rest on the mud at the bottom of the
ravine, the engineer has had a problem
to work out. The quarter block on the
northwest corner of Kast Stark street
and Grand avenue has not been tilled.
although ' East Stark street and Grand
avenue have been filled with sand and
gravel, the base of the embankments
spreading out widely. The piledriver will
drive piles down through the partial fill
on the sides.. Owing to the soft nature
of the material through which the piles
must t-e driven, wooden piles will be
used Instead of concrete.
Many people believe Dr. J. R. Wether-
bee, president of the Portland Com
mercial Club, was right when he said he
expected to see Union and Grand ave
nues lined with modern fireproof struc
tures, as set forth In his talk before the
North East Side Improvement Associa
tion. When speaking on the Importance.
of erecting ' a bridge at Broadway lr.
Wether bee declared that large stores
would come In the near future.
The Improvement of Grand avenue with
bard-surface pavement between East Clay
and Broadway, a distance of a mile and
a half. Is s great gain for Central East
Portland. For most of this distance the.
street is feet wide. rr. Wetherbee de
clared that Grand avenue will be one of
the finest streets In the city and Union
avenue one of the longest. Erection of
the cluster of modern buildings at the In
tersectlon of East Stark street and Grand
venae will likely result In the erection of
other structures of the. same sort, now
that the movement -has been started. It
may have the effect of clearing away- the
shacks on three corners of East Morrison
street and Grand avenue, or that point
may lose some of Its Importance when
four modern buildings stand at the in
tersectlon of Grand avenue and Eas
8tark street. Owners of these buildings
