2 VANCOUVER PREPARES FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. cin SOON TO OWN MULTNOMAH FALLS S. Benson to Purchase Prop erty When Title Is Clear and Give It for Park. SUIT TO FIX OWNERSHIP While Rival Claimants Are Fighting ' in Courts Condemnation Action Is Began and orfer of $5000 Is Made. Multnomah Falls, through tha gen erosity of S. Benson. Boon is to become ' the property of the people of Portland. As soon as legal difficulties that con fuse the title are cleared away Mr. : Benson will purchase the property in which tho falls are included and pre : sent it to the city as a public park. Miss Jennie Grlswold, a former resl ' dent of Portland, now Jiving at Wash ington, D. C, holds title to the prop ' erty. Against her title, however, stands : a suit brought a few months ago by George Wetherby, who died recently, and who alleged a lease with option of purchase. Mr. Benson has offered to pay the ' successful claimant In this suit, which now Is pending .in the Multnomah ' County Circuit Courts, 5000 for pos ' session of the property under agree- ment to deed the land and the falls to the city. The "Wetherby heirs are con ; tinulng the action against Miss Gris ' wold. City Brings Condemnation Salt. Meanwhile the City of Portland, aet f Ing on the suggestion of Mr. Benson, ' has brought condemnation proceedings against both Miss Griswold and the : Wetherby heirs for possession of the property, with the understanding that Mr. Benson will pay the price assessed. ; If a Jury fixes the value at more than '. $5000, however, the property will not , be accepted. Efforts now are being made by E. B. Coovert, Mr. Benson's friend and per sonal attorney, to have the Bum of , $5000 placed in possession of the courts to be awarded to the winner of the Wetherby versus Grlswold suit, with the stipulation that the property pass into the possession of Mr. Benson. Under this arrangement the condemna tion proceedings would be discontinued. Secure in his belief that he will soon eome into possession of the property, Mr. Benson last week went through the formality of presenting a "deed" . to the county officials. This action was wholly premature, as Mr. Benson understood, and planned only for the . benefit of a moving-picture operator. An evening paper, however, grasped the opportunity to print a story de claring that the actual presentation had been made. Benson Plana Park. Mr. Benson plans to beautify the property surrounding' the -falls and k make the whole into a natural park. He proposes also' to have the National Congress withdraw from entry 240 acres of land immediately adjoining the property owned by Miss Griswold and present it, also, to the city. The Griswold property consists of 161.76 acres, which would give the city a park area of 401.76 acres surrounding the waterfall. . All this would be made into a beautiful playground for the people of Portland. The property has a frontage of more than a mile on the Columbia River and extends back beyond the high bluffs rising immediately south of the river for a distance of more than two miles. The O.-W. B, & N. right of way and a station reservation of 20 acres Is in cluded In the property, but this, through the co-operation of the rail road officials, will be Included In the park scheme. City Can Own Property. Although the park has no physical connection with the city proper, the charter will permit the city to acquire the property and hold it for park pur poses. Mr. Benson has presented his plan to the city officials and they have expressed an eagerness to accept the property on behalf of the people of Portland. Adjoining the Multnomah Falls prop erty Immediately on the west is the land upon which is located Gordon Kails. Mr. Benson already owns this property and now is converting It Into a public park. A force of men is at 4a-trk removing the underbrush and -1 ( .v t . full an HmhilF. Oneonta Gorge and Horsetail Falls adjoin the Uordon property on mo we and It Is understood that the owners propose to include those attractions In tha park acheme.
