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.

Professor O'Gara, who Is also Gov

prevention of several threatened epi

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,

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.
School Industry Marked. .
