-IT,rd.TinK- of the Lxjwer Albina Push
rub. is chairman of the committee from
this club to secure the extension of the
car track on Russell street from Upper
to Lower Albina. Mr. Tonsing contend,
that such a line built to the foot of
Russell street will pay from the '.tart.
At present there Is little. If any relation,
between Lpper and Lower Albina. the
two sections being almost as far apart
as If a stream ran between them on ac
count or the steep hill.
' ,A.f"ne- 11 ur"d- would change
all this and bring the two sections to
gether. It will be nece.sary to get a
franchise for several block, between Gan
iTU. ,1 avenu and May street, a most
difficult undertaking, however, to make
the extension possible. The North East
Side Improvement Association has in
dorsed the extension and pledged Itself
to assist In securing the franchise.
Whatever may be the. outcome of the
efforts of the city to secure the Mont
gomery tract, or a part of it. for a
public park, the sale of the land to
Samuel Connell and Walter A. Gos. for
J115.0O means that at least part of It
will be used for business purposes. The
land Is In the midst of settlement In
Albina and has become of great value
from the Improvements that have tx-en
made all around. Five miles, or less.
In the country this broken tract of land
cut up with ravines; high and low lands
could not be sold at any price, but
through the Improvement, made all
around It. the tract has become of great
value, without the owner, contributing
anything In the way of Improvement, or
helping the surrounding, except to nay
taxes.
By lowering the hills and Ailing up the
ravines the Montgomery tract can be
made available for any purpose. park or
railroad ground, or residences. There is
enough of the high land to nil up the
ravines. The foresight of the purchaser,
in securing this tract at this time wa.
certainly keen, however uch action In
forestalling the city may be condemned.
To grab up so large a tract of land In
the heart of a great and growing city for
the price paid was certainly a matter of
business sagacity, but reflects on the
slowness with which the city moved In
It. efforts to secure this flne tract for a
park. Of course the city might have se
cured the land on th same term, that
Connell A Gos. secured it.
A surprise Is In store for anyone who
goes to the summit of Mount Tabor and
looks eastward, and takes In the extraor
dinary growth In Montavllla and the
country for miles eastward, bordering
on the Base line and Section roads. Just
over the eastern slope begins a remark
able building movement which extend for
"everal miles eastward. C. H. Welch and
Henry Freeborough. who recently platted
nine acres on the eastern slope, report
that they are selling off lot rapiillv. and
to people who expect to build homes. In
.Montavllla. north and south of the Bae
Line road. 50 houses are now under con
struction. Buildings costing at least
S 100.000 are under way. A number of
streets are being Improved. The big

most conspicuous structure. Surround
ing It are many attractive dwellings that
liave recently sprung up.
An effort is being made to establish
large sewer pine factory, and the pro
moters of the enterprise have taken up
the matter with Dr. William De Veny
of the Montavllla Board of Trade. They
have investigated conditions In and
around Montavllla. and especially the
oil. and find them favorable for the man
ufacture of sewer pipe and fine pottery.
It is considered probable that the estab
lishment will be erected ' at or near
Montavllla. probably on the main line of
the O. R. & N.
- There Is quits a business center along
the Base Line road In Montavllla. All
the business building have been occu
pied. Men who put up these buildings
were thought ahead of the times, but
they quickly found tenant, for their
buildings.
In North Mount Tabor, on the Monta
vllla carline. a considerable settlement
has been developed. By those who have
bought tots upon which houses are to be
built, tent, and temporary shelter, have
been erected preparatory to the erection
of permanent homes. Over 60 of these
temporary house, have been erected In
the grove of trees. The place I. Ideal for
