franchise" Allows O. It. & X. to
Realize 6 Per Cent on Cost
of t'pper Part's Construction.
Tolls May lie Demanded.
Now that the O. R. & N. Company Is
to construct a new btiel brkliie across
the Willamette River, the next question
susrsfsted Is. -will the city and countv.
-einirly or Jointly, lease the uppr (irek
-of the structure for the use of the n
eral public? It is by no means a cer
tainty at 4his early dat that such a
conrract will be executed, particularly
under the conditions imposed in the fran
. chie. authorizing the building of the
bridEe. which is pending before the port
' of I'ortland. I"nler the terms of that
-document the railroad company will ex
- pert monthly a rental of approximately
J!.) for the upper deck. The county
now pays monthly for the second
dck of the present steel bridge.
Cnder tho franchise which has been
fllefl with the Port of Portland, the rail
road company agrees to construct a
double-deck bridge. As is the case with
the present structure, the lower deck is
to be used exclusively for railroad pur
poses. The corporation proposes to lease
the fse of the upper deck to the city or
county or to both jointly, but the fran
chise stipulates that the railroad must
refve unriT such a leae a rental equal
to 6 per cent net on the additional cost
of constructing the upper deck.
Bridue experts acree that in erecting
puch structures, the cost of constructing
a second deck ordinarily amounts to
about 30 per cent of the cost of the total
structure. The estimated cost of t he
new railroad bridge is Sl.l,A,,,t. so that
thf upper deck wUl represent an ex
penditure of at least $:;'. Comput
ing the rental for its use on a 6 per cent
basis of its cost woidd amount to $1S,000
a year, or a monthly rental of $1W.
Tolls Are Allowed.
The franchise contains the further pro
vision that in event the city and county
do not lease the upper deck, the rail
road company proposes to collect tolls
from streetcars, vehicles and pedestrians
In an amount that will yield the cor
poration 6 per cent net on the additional
cost of the second deck and a further
allowance of 5 per cent for depreciation.
The residents of this city, having been
accustomed to free bridges, it is not at
all likely that they would be willing to
submit to paying toil for the privileges
they have been enjoying gratis. Should
the situation resolve itself into such a
condition it is reasonably certain that
the bulk of the travel In that section of
the city would seek transportation ac
commodations over the proposed Broad
way hich bridge or would shift further
south to the three other bridges which
are maintained at the expense of the city
and county.
l"nd.r the present lea.se. which has been
renewed every two years since the bridge
was built in 17. the county pays the
O. It. A X. Company $:!" a month rental.
The- terms of the lease require the
rounty to keep the upper deck in repair
nnd to make all improvements which may
b necessary. The county also pays the
waces of all catemen. but the railroad
- company maintains and operates the
3 raw.
Judge and Mayor Silent.
Neither County Judge Webster nor
Mayor Simon was prepared yesterday to
discuss the subject or to say what might
be concluded respecting the leasing of th--upper
deck of the new bridge. They took
the position that the plans and speci
fications for the brioge had not yet been
approved, while, in .-"11 probability. It
would be two years Ik-fore the bridge
could be constructed, and said there was
plenty of tune before the structure w.is
completed to look after the interests of
the general public through a leas- or by
sinie other regulation. Judge Welter
Intimated in a general way that the
cctinty would not be alW to pay any
such increased rental as the terms of
the franchise contemplate.
In return for a monthly rental of JVA
nil the county receives from the rail
road company is the right of the public
io use the present bridge. The railroad
roinpany collects toILs from the street
car company for running its cars over
the upper deck. It i presumed that the
receipts from this source under the lease
-f the new bridge by the city and county
Aou'.d be in. luded in the required net re
furn of per cent demand d by the rail
road cent pa n so that the actual rental
to be collected from the citv an. I county
would be reduced accordingly. How
ever, there is every probability that the
cost of a lease of the upper deck of the
new railroad bridge- will be considerab'y
greater than that paid for t )e upper deck
of t re present structure, becau.-e of the
c-e:t difference in the eot of the two
bridges.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY THS NEAREST BEACH TO PORTLAND
1. Its location relative to other cities is the best, right where the railroad
comes out of the mountains and the first station on the beach. The many
beautiful, dustless roads of which Tillamook County is famous all go to Lake
LATtle Beach. '
DESTINED TO BE A LARGE CITY
2: Has every advantage possible to make it a substantial one. It is backed
by the P. R. & N. Railroad which is almost completed with trains now run
ning on both ends of the line and only a short distance to connect which will
be done next Spring, when there will be a fine large depot built at Lake Lytic.
PLANNED FOR A CITY
3. The Lake Lvtle Co. has planned to make it a large city, having care
fully platted it with graded streets, a good water system and beautiful drives
and avenues.
. NATURAL ADVANTAGES
4. Lake Lytle offers more advantages and attractions than any other
resort on the Oregon Coast, such as boating, fishing, bathing, driving and
beautiful building lots covered with fine shade trees; its mild, even climate in
Winter and Summer, sheltered as it is from the severe winds and storms in
- Winter and cold winds in Summer. With each lot goes a written guarantee,
backed by good, responsible parties, of all necessary and modern improve
ments enjoyed by any other resort, city or town.
v SURROUNDED BY ABUNDANCE OF WEALTH
5. Tillamook Countv has long been known as the finest dairy section in
the world and, with its 30,000,000,000 feet of standing, timber (the largest
body in the entire world), its salmon canneries, sawmills, cheese factories,
rich garden lands, cool, even 'climate and numerous other resources, it is sure
to be one of the densest populated sections of the .West.
BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
' 6. It has a most elegant supply of fresh water, found in the beautiful
rivers of ice water which come tumbling down from the mountains so pure
and sparkling, and in the little lake itself, whose waters are pure enough lor
all' kinds of domestic uses.
REFERENCES
7. We refer you to anyone in Tillamook Count as to our resort. No
Tillamooker will'knock Lake Lytle, because it's the pride of the county.
8. We invite our patrons to see before they buy, because buyers will al-
wavs select Lake Lytle when they see what they are mrying. i
A MOST DELIGHTFUL CLIMATE
9. This is. a most delightful climate, the thermometer seldom exceeding
85 degrees in the Summer, and rarely reaching the freezing point in WTinter.
A GOOD INVESTMENT
10. The time to buy a lot in Lake Lvtle is now, while an investment of
$100 will buy a lot worth $1000. Better investigate this TILLAMOOK
BEACH. ' !
1
$ 1 0.OO REWARD
We will give $10 cash for the 10 best' reasons why Lake Lytle is the Best
Beach Resort and investment in the Pacific Northwest. Study the picture
and send your reasons in by Friday, July 23. The best reasons will be pub
lished in our ad the following Sunday.

That Union avenue Is to be the main

E. J. Haight is erecting a reinforced
concrete two-story building on Union ave
nue and Goirutr street at a cost of ili.OOO.
At Ainsworth and Union avenues the two
story concrete building of William Reidt,
costing about $l,Wt), fcas been completed.
Many two-story frame structures are be
ing erected along the avenue as far as
Woodiawn. Peery & Wilson plan to erect
a business building on the northwest cor
ner of Union avenue and Russell street,
where they recently purchased a lot.
Miist of the" streets east of Union ave

movement to make Union avenue uni
formly St) feet wide north of Holladay ave

wide north of Morrie street where the

Tha district between Union avenue and
East Thirty-second street, north of Pres

among the younpest of the East Side su
burbs, and yet one of the mont vigorous.

It is proposed to improve Alberta street

are being erected all along the 6treet. Set
tlement has .reached East Thirty-second
