FARM WILL BE OPENED
Court Arranges for Formal Event to
Take Place About April 10.
' To give the general public an oppor
tunity to visit and Inspect the Mult
nomah Farm for the l'oor. arrange
ments are being made by the County
Court for a formal opening about
April 10. to which the public will be
invited. The plans as yet ere only
tentative, but It Is, thought probable
that a delegation of representative
persona will go to the farm In auto
mobiles, and the others will go on the
Interurban electric line, which passes
within a few hundred feet of the main
entrance to the main building of the
farm. An excursion on the electric
line is proposed.
The farm waa Informally opened last
Fall, and although not complete, all
the poor of the county, about 250 In
number, have been kept there since.
Workmen have been busy all Winter
clearing the land and getting it In
shape for the planting of crops this
Spring. The buildings have been sur
rounded by lawns and large nower
beds, and the entire farm made Into a
model of natural beauty. Ail the Im
provements will be complete and the
foliage at Its prettiest tn April, It Is
said.
A number of Portland residents. In
cluding ministers, leaders of charit
able organisations and others, have
visited the farm since the first of the
year, and all have reported It to be
ideally located and operated. County
Commissioner LJghtner. who was In
strumental In bringing the farm about,
has received many letters of congratu
lation on the project. Kverybody who
has seen It has declared It to be one of
the finest Institutions of the kind In
the United mates.
When the County Court first bought
the property on which the farm has
been established the larger part of
the land waa uncleared. This was
about three years ago. soon after tne
purchase was made and the old farm
on the West fide waa sold the work of
clearing the new farm land waa begun
and hurried to completion as rapidly
as possible. Springs of water were
developed and now furnish the entire
Institution with all the water needed
for culinary purposes, fire protection
and Irrigation. It Is expected the
farm thla year will yield one of the
heaviest crops of grain and other pro
ducts of any. of the farms in the Wil
lamette Valley.
At the formal opening a programme
may be carried out. Tentative plana
have been made for speaking and mu
sic, the speakers to be business men.
charitable workers, and city, county
and state officials. ,
