land iad in HIrd Character
of Development Work.
If tba plana which have been adopted
by tha Sellwood Hoard of Trad are
carried out. that suburb will become
one of the most attractive on the East
Side. Growing rapidly In point of new
building, thli saburb baa neglected to
I rr rove its streets, but low it is pro
posed to pave all the streets, not with
hard surface exclusively, but also with
crashed rock macadam. .
After trying- to get tha people inter
ested la hsrd-surfaoe pavements, it was
found that the cost was more than the
property owner will stand. It was es
timated that the cost would be at least
$100 a. lot. Including cement walks and
the grading. For the average lot in
9tlwood it was considered that this
would mean confutation, so It I now
proposed to use crushed rock on the
residence streets and hard surface on
East Thirteenth. Umatilla and Spokane
avenues, which are the business etreeta
of that suburb and will require better
pavement.
The matter was discussed at the
meeting of the Board of Trade recent
ly, and committees were appointed to
interview property owners and atart
circulation of petitions for the pro
posed Improvement It la not the In
tention of the 611 wood Board of Trade
to force tha improvements, but to lead
the movement and show tha property
owners that it will pay them to lay
cement sidewalk and put crushed rork
no the streets of the auburb. It 1 be
lieved that a suburb which ran main
tain a commercial club building and a
branch T. M. C. -A. ran afford to have
well-Improved streets. There will be
another meeting nest Tuesday night,
when there will be a report on progress
made.

brli-k building at the southwest corner
of East Thirteenth and Tenlno aveaue,
covering a lot (0x100 feet, at a coat of

ure and one of tha beat In this suburb.
The Catholics are erecting a modern
two-story brick building on Miller av

structure will be used for school pur
pose and a chapel, which will be com
pleted early thta Kali. Later the par

nurse of the 6e 11 wood Hospital, which
will be built near Umatilla avenue. It
will be the home of 30 narsea, and will
be a modern struct ore.
The Vellwood Commercial Club has
completed the plan to refund its debt
by the Issuing of 14000 per cent bonds,
which will run for ten year. Sec
retary Edwards ear that the bonds
oar been printed and are ready for
delivery aa soon aa soma legal point
have been settled. It is estimated that
the property of tha Club, which in
clude a clubhouse and lot on Uma
tilla avenue, is worth 18000. The ob
ject of placing 14000 In bonds is to
make the dub a permanent feature in
SAllwood. The Income will pay the
running expense of the club and In
terest on the bonds, bealdea providing
a sinking fund. The club boue la the
social and business center of the sub
urb of Sellwood. and It member are
the progressive citizens of that sec
tion. Sellwood baa the only club house
of the sort on the East Side. I. J.

East Thirteenth street, the bustnesa
street of the auburb, is to be opened
and extended to the Portland crema

wackle street. Viewers have that mat
ter tn hand and It will be worked out
In the course of time. Also Mllwaukle
street la to be paved from Holgate
street to and through Bcllwood next
year. It will be a continuation of the
pavement which at present ends at Hol
gate street. East Seventeenth street
will probably be opened through Mid
way In the next few months and that
will provide a parallel street to Sell
wood. which will be Improved in time.
That this street will be needed by the
growth at Sellwood and the district
between Mllwaukle street and the Wil

The location of the Reed College In
this district haa had marked effect on
all property values, the increase being
on aa average of 60 per cent over what
they were before .the location waa an
nounced. The platting of the Cryetal
Sprtnara farm into Westmoreland and
Kastmoreland. and making them hlgh
claa residence districts, ha stimulated
the South East Side, and especially
Sellwood and the territory between Mll
waukle street and the Willamette

adjoining the Reed College ground on
the south. An eleotrlo railway, a
branch of the Sellwood car line. Is be
ing extended to and through Eaatmore
land. Eaatnaorelaad Makes Crawls.
It Is evident that the principal growth
In the South East Side will be on the
beautiful elevated ground on which the
site of the Reed College and Eaatmoro
land are located. This college will be
one of the best In the United State
and will have an endowment which will
enable it to become the strongest in
stitution of the sort on the Paoiflo
Co ant. Location of the college will
necessitate opening and Improving of
the streets tn the best manner possible.
In Westmoreland the plan is to pave
all streets with asphalt and the same
plan will be followed on the streets in
Eastmoreland. T. N. Clark, the gen
eral agent, told the Sellwood Commer
cial Club in the early part of the year
of the great plans for that district,
and urged the people of Sellwood to
take Immediate step to Improve their
streets. He pointed out that Sellwood
and the surrounding would benefit
largely by the development In West
moreland and Eastmoreland. That
there will be a great growth toward
the south on the East Side la conceded,
and will soon surround and absorb even
Mllwaukle.

The site of the proposed building la
the block bounded by Clay. Third, Mar
ket And Second street. The block Is
300 feet square. It 1 the belief of the
oommiaalon that the ground la not
large enough to provide for the kind of
building desired. It has been suggested
to use the Market-Street aide and se
cure additional ground 0x300 feet on
the south side of that street. This
would provide a site 200 feet wide be
tween Seoond and Third street and 180
feet long between Clay street on the
north and a 30-coot alley on the south.
The queatlon of the exact slxe of the
ground will be determined in a few
days.
It 1 proposed to construct an impos
ing but dignified and simple building.
It 1 to be thoroughly fireproof and to
contain all the essential features of a
modern auditorium. The height of the
building will depend entirely upon the
dealgn accepted by the commission, but
it la probable that It will contain only
two stories and basement.

municipal election for the auditorium,
it I stipulated ' that no more than
1460,000 shall be expended on the
actual cost of. the Building. This leavea

must be thoroughly equipped for large
theatrical performances, with fly gal

MAKSHFIELD.Or.3ept. ! (Special.)
The new Swedish Lutheran Church at
North Bend, which haa Juat oeen com
pleted, was dedicated at a meeting- ot
ministers of the denomination on Cooa
Bay. The gathering- waa that of the
Portland Mission District of the Co
lumbia Conference of the Augustana
Synod of America of the Swedish Evan
gelical Lutheran Church.
Rev. C J. Renhard. of Portland, vice
president of the Columbia Conference,
presided at the dedication and preached
the dedicatory sermon. He was "ls
ted by Rev. J. Richard Olson, of the
Immanuel Church, of Portland: Rev. H.
E. Banatedt. of Portland, and B. V.
Ben osteon, of Marshfleld. The Berrlcea
were held In the afternoon and the en
tire congregation, numbering several
hundred, wsa entertained at a supper
served in the basement of the church.
Rev. J. Rlohard Olson, who waa
called to the church at Portland only
a few months ago, was formerly pastor
of the congregations in Marshfleld and
North Bend. When he came here a
start had been made on the new ohurch
at North Bend, but It waa in his pas
torate that virtually all the building
was done. Times were rather hard,
and people could not give much money,
but many' of the members who were
carpenters and skilled laborers donated
their work on holidays and when not
otherwise employed, and thus the cost
of erecting the building waa greatly
lessened. The property la now valued
at about J5000 and the congregation,
which numbers about 160, la only $250
in debt.
The basement of the church waa com.
pleted first and for a long time tha con
gregation used it for social gatherings,
thus adding to their building fund.
Because of hl efforts, which made pos
sible the new church. Rev. Olson waa
especially Invited to take part In the
dedication.
The new ohurch building rs the best
in either of the Cooa Bay cities, and is
the only church on the bay that ia
plastered. The concrete foundation pro
vides a large basement for the use of
the young people and for social gather
ings. It la fitted with kitchen and all
equipment neceasary for serving suppers.
