THE sirenAY' oiREGOSI AN.' ; PORTLAND.- JUNE SO, 1912. : ACCESS TO BRIDGES IS MADE BETTER WAREHOUSE LEASED BY CO-OFEBATTVE SUPPLY HOUSE. 20 MINUTES From WASHINGTON STREET BEAUTIFUL GLENMORRIE Eastern Ends of Railroad and Broadway Structure Are Scene of Activity. , HEAVY TRAFFIC FORESEEN F - - ------- Hard Surface Will Be Laid on Adams Street Providing Approach to Bridge Before Oregon ' Is Improved. At the astern ends of the Railroad and Broadway bridges there ts much activity at the present time. On Adams street, which connects Holladay ave nue with Oregon street at the approach of the railroad bridge, a hard-surface; pavement will be laid. This will pro vide access to the bridge In advance of the Improvement of Oregon street. Otherwise, there would be no improved street extending to the approach of the railroad bridge. Still, Adams street will not be sufficient and there will not be adequate access to this bridge until Oregon street has been paved to Union avenue. It is evident that the Railroad bridge will be completed and opened to the public before any street is Improved and the traffic that now uses the Steel bridge will be turned on the new rail road bridge In advance of the street improvements. Laundry Will Build. It ts expected that the American Laundry Company will start construc tion on Its building in the near future on the site secured in this district sev eral months ago. M. Olsen has erected a four-story apartment building on East First and Multnomah street at a cost of 135.000, and it has been com pleted. Other similar structure will likely be built In this section on the completion of the railroad bridge. The O.. R- N. Co. is filling in on the east side of East First Btreet southward from East Flanders, taking material from the bank north of the track. This" will give the company more switching space. In the course of time all this low district will be filled and Sullivan's Gulch will be filled as far east as Tenth street and the spare used for factories and ware houses. The Wemme building is the pioneer structure in the Gulch and shows the possibilities of the district. The ware house -and factory district along the gulch probably will follbw the rail way to the city limns. Street to Be Filled. Broadway and Wheeler streets, at the east approach to the Broadway bridge, will be filled in the near fu ture. The cost Is estimated at $17,000 and the contract probably will be let very soon, as the bids have been asked. It was feared that these fills would not be completed in advance of the com pletion of the Broadway bridge. The contract for filling Weidler .trt hetween East First and Wheeler streets, has been awarded to the Ken-nedv-Crawford Company for $16,477. Weidler also Is a bridge street and leads to Broadway bridge. Cost of all these fills will be paid for out of the special bridge fund.- The fill of the approach to the Broadway bridge has been completed. Alblna hopes to secure direct en trance to the Broadway and new railroad bridges by way of Kerby street over the Montgomery tract. Ar rangements were made by the City Council with the owners of this tract by which a viaduct may be constructed from Lower Albina on Kerby street within ten years time, and the piers must be so placed that. they will not interfere with railways or factory buildings that may be occupy the tract in the future. Viaduct to Be Ul8. This viaduct will provide a direct hlghwav to both bridges. It will be about 10,000 feet long and will be an expensive piece of work, but Albina expects to get It in time. Completion of these two bridges is expected to make a marked change on the Kast Side. Immediately at the east end of the Railroad bridge there is a large amount of vacant property, which Is not likely to become railroad nmr.rv nwlnir to its elevation, but by those who have studied conditions It Is thought it will become sites for urimrnii and flats with some small factories and wholesale houses similar to the Wemme building. Conditions at the approach to Broad way bridge are different, as there is little vacant nronertv. The district Is closely built over with small dwellings and some apartments, Dut it is consra ra almost certain the general char acter of the buildings which will be built hereafter in" this district will be anirtmpnlx and flats. The question whether Rose City Park, Center Addition and North Mount Tabor will use the Railroad or the Broadway bridges will depend on the extension of East Glisan street and Holladay avenue across Sullivan's Gulch by the erection of bridges, which are now being talked up. However. Broadway street will give a direct street to the Broadway bridge from Rose City Park and the surroundings. FLORENCE MILL TO WORK Idle Properly Taken Over by Porter Brothers, Who Plan Activity.' FLORENCE. Or.. June 59. (Special.)

JACKSON WANTS EXPERT Petition for Retention of Professor O'Gara Is Circulated. 1 n v i inr t SWSSKWXl --- NEW BUILDING HAS 50,000 SftUARE FEET OF FLOOR SPACE. J ... ... i i i - throughout Jackson County praying for the retention by the County Court of Professor P. J. O'Gara in his present capacity of county pathologist and ento. mologist for another year. Professor O'Gara's third term expires June 30, and he has given notice of la Inten tion to move. Hence this petition, which proposes that he- be reiamea i arv of not to exceed $100 per month. He has been receiving $5000 annually the past threa years, but out of this sal . . 4 tViA mainte- of h. heen carina for th nance -of his office, the printing many bulletins and other expenses. Professor O'Gara, who Is also Gov ernment Inspector of horticulture for Southern Oregon. Is by many given credit for . the new and more satisfac tory order of fruit raising, and the prevention of several threatened epi demics amongst the orchards may be traced directly to his timely counsel and thorough knowledge of the situa tion. His summary measures against the dreaded pear blight two aB saved to the Rogue River Valley man of Its finest orchards, end made possi ble the golden yield of superlative Bartletts this season. ' - Professor O'Gara forestalled the dan ger of early Spring frosts by y?-t-lng and introducing the unlovely but effective smudge pot. During fruit sea son he has maintained at -Medord a training school for packers. ---?,n that fruit Improperly packed, is half wasted.

Portland's Advantage as Distribut ing Center Shown New Company to Engage in Mall Order Busi ness. In West and Orient. With the closing of a lease last week on th S.' L. Brown warebouse'at East First and Madison streets, th Co-operative Supply House has secured one of the largest new structures on the East Side. The building was completed re cently. It is a four-story structure of reinforced concrete and is luny nre proof. It ontains. about 60,000 feet of floor space. , When the company first planned on thi building as its warehouse it was expected that' it would provide ample room, but owing to expansion ui u activities the company expects to en large its floor space In a short time. The territory to De coverea ay -mn company extends from tne nocny Mountains to tne i-acino tjoast. ana far south as Mexico and north Into Alaska. One of the important plans of the company 13 to carry on an exten sive business with the Orient. "The line of goods carried py our company will consist yinuauy oi n-ervthlna- that Is grown or manufac tured." said H. Irby Knox, vice-presi dent of the company, yesterday. The bulk of the business of the Racine Coast country is now going to the East. Great amounts of money sent from the West every year for mer chandise will be kept at home and the people of the Coast will get the Denent of this enterprise. "In casting about tor a cny tor our headouarters. we had In mind four ritins Los Angeles. San Francisco, Portland and Denver. We decided, af ter a thorough investigation of freight conditions, water rates and warehouse facilities, that Portland was the only nlace in the entire West that would class with either Chicago, Kansas City or St. Louis as a distributing point. There la no Question that Portland Is the best situated as a warehouse ana shlnoina- center in the entire country. "It is the intention of the company not to do any local business In Port land, but to confine its enons to tne sale of various lines of mercnanoise throughout the states of wasningion. Oregon, Idaho, California, - Montana, Utah. Wyoming. Colorado. , Arizona, Vew Mexico, and an otner western states, as well as the Orient.". - JOHN DAY VALLEY RICH EASTERN' OREGOX COTTN'TY HAS NATURAL- ADVANTAGES. Industrial Work of School Children Is Vigorous Premium List : Carries $750 Cash. "For good schools, fine farms, saod orchards - and rich resources Grant Countv compares favorably with any district In the state." said N. C. Maris. who has Just returned from a trip into the John Day Valley in the Interest of the school children's industrial mntmMlt . "The John Day Valley! where most of mv travel and work was confined dur ing the last week. Is one of the nicest rricultnral - sections of the whole state. Their average' annual precipi tatlon in that county Is something over 20 inches, insuring , with proper iarm lnir mod s-rain crops, but the John Day Valley Is largely' devoted - to the production of hay for the Wintering of large bands of stock that .traverse her splendid ranges during the graslng season, and for this purpose alfalfa is 1,1 r. The ' John Day furnishes an abundant supply of water for irrigation purposes, producing three good crops of iv to eight tons an acre-in the asreirate. "This is one of the best natural hay ana urass countries I have ever seen. I saw beautiful meadows of red and whito clover, which I was told had r been seeded, but was simply voluntary growth, mown regularly for years. 1 ' ' "Like all the, other Eastern. Oregon counties, many of the farmers have sold off all their cattle, and most of them have- sold down close, with the result that the ranges are waving with bunch grass, fllaria and other rich native grasses. In many places rank enough to mow for hay. w ith the unusual amount of moisture thl season and the scarcity of stock, the ranees are having an excellent oppor tuntty to- recuperate. The trouble is, however, that this opportunity is going to reach the point of waste, tor it is going to take years to properly re stock that country. Fruit Thrives Without Care.' The John Day country is splendidly adapted to the production of fruit. Practlcallv all kinds of fruit raised anywhere in this state grows there to perfection. So far scarcely any oi me insects common to orchards have been introduced, and It Is the general claim that a wormv annle has never Deen seen there. This fact and the lack of transportation facilities is the only reason that the orcnaros mere are poorly cared for. and that the busi ness Is not gone into on a commercial scale. The bench lands adjoining the valley are adapted to the production of fruit, ana witn tne nope mm. mj railroad will pass through that valley h.fnr. mnnv vears. -there - is some in terest being taken In setting orchards on the outsKirts ot tne vaney. The SumDter Valley Railroad now reaches Prairie City, at the upper end of the valley, and will doubtless soon be extended its entire length, thus furnishing ready, outlet for the proa- ucts of the valley. Live stock, however, is pretty nara to beat in a country of that character, and the fact that it is able to walk-to market explains the prosperous con riitinn arm the exceptionally well-im nrnvarl comfortable farm homes which are so common there, regardless of the distance to transportation. There Is a great deal of weaitn wrapped up in the fine forests there, and since the advent of the railroad in the upper part of the county, it is Tap idly being turned into lumber.
