ROAD REPAIRS ARE BEGUN
PORTLAXD-ASTORIA ROUTE IS
BJEIXG PUT IX SHAPE.
Gangs of County and State Work
men "Are Engaged In Keeping
Up Columbia Highway.
ASTORIA, Or., July 2. (Special.)
The Columbia river highway between
Portland and Astoria is being put in
shape rapidly for summer traffic. Sev
eral 1 gangs of men are engaged In
maintenance work and the trip can be
made with ease In Vz hours without
breaking any speed limits.
Multnomah county forces and gangs
employed by the state highway de
partment have done a great deal of
work on the highway during the past
six weeks. The pavement, with the
exception of the section between As
toria and Svensen, has been gone over
carefully ani defective sections have
been cut out and mended. All the
edges have been repaved and the sur
face is in better condition than ever.
Between Astoria and Svensen the old
one-course pavement is broken in a
number of places, but a gang is now
at work repairing the worst of these.
Fences have all been repaired, and
for many miles the weeds and brush
have been cut away and the graveled
shoulders of the highway have been
leveled and raked and present a fine
appearance. Some sections of the
highway have been so well cleaned
and weeded that tourists from other
states have commented on the nice
appearance of the roadway. The bad
slide west of Clatskanle has been re
moved and the bumps in the pave
ment at the end of concrete bridges
have been ironed out.
There is much unfavorable comment
on the condition of the road through
Rainier, where there is a mile of city
streets unpaved. It is apparent that
the new highway grade will have to
b rebuilt in olaces before it can be
paved, and this, will require several
months for settlement. In the mean
time the city streets are excessively
rough, and a little resurfacing with
fine gra"el would materially relieve
the situation. The city of Astoria is
grading a new approach to the high
way at the east end of the city, but
it does not seem probable that this
will be paved until it has thoroughly
settled.
Local authorities are anxious to
have work started on the highway
between Miles crossing and Skipanon
crossing between Astoria and Seaside.
This section now consists of a narrow
concrete pavement and the state com
mission has widened tne roadbed witn
a sand fill. It is understood that the
state authorities want this fill to set
tle for one w'nter season before pav
ing to full width.
The new drawbridge across Youngs
bay between here and Miles crossing
will soon be open to traffic. The
r m wsnn n in readv for pavement and
only a few minor jobs remain' to be
completed before vehicles can cross
the new structure.
Paving between Warrenton and
Seaside is progressing rapidly, despite
the bad weatber. The new Coast high
way has been completed to a point
about a mile and a half south of Co
lumbia Beach and is open to traffic
every night. Under good weather con
d'tions nearly a mile of completed
highway can be finished each week.
Last Sunday many tourists were dis
appointed in not finding the highway
open, but it has been arranged to
have paving stop on Saturday of .this
NEW $200,000 ADDITION IS

week at noon and the traffic will not
be interfered with until Tuesday
morning at 7:30.
Tourists are complaining consider
ably about the bad bumps at each end
of the two bridges in Warrenton.
Clatsop county has done considerable
work on the rough spots in the old
macadam between Miles crossing and
bkipanon crossing, so this section is
in much better .condition than during
the winter.
The new road between Astoria and
Seaside by way of Melville and Wa
hanna has not yet been completed.
This road was to have been finished
by May 15, but the character of the
soil made it impossible to carry on
the work as rapidly as planned. The
soft spots are being planked, and It is
hoped that the highwaywill be opened
by July 10. The pavement on the
Coast highway should be completed
into Seaside by September 1.
The Nehalem Tiighway has been
completed to within a short distance
of Olney. Work will soon start on
rocking the Coast highway between
Seaside and Nehalem. It is planned to
finish the rocking of this road this
summer, so that from now on It will
be open all the year around. This
road will open up a fine territory not
cow furnished with transportation be
cause it has been impossible to get
over the roads in the winter time. It
is hoped that the state will carry on
paving operations from Seaside south
to Nehalem and ultimately to Tilla
mook. Another road that is being
rapidly improved is between Seasld-e
and Ecola. A steam shovel has wid
ened out the roadway to nearly dou
ble its former width and a fine sur
face will be put on this summer.

DUTIES ARE POINTED OUT
Every Good Dealer Is Expected, to
Be Present at Great and
Important Sessions.
In a message appearing in the spe
cial convention number of the Na
tional Real Estate Journal, Chicago,
published last week, f red E. Taylor
of Portland, president of the national
association of real estate boards, calls
on the realtors of the United States
and Canada to bend every possible
effort to attend the great convention
to be held in Chicago, beginning
July 12.
Before enumerating many reasons
why every good realtor should be
present at the meeting. Mr. Taylor
mentions the kindly sentiment all
members of his profession hold for
Chicago, which he styles as the "orig
inal shrine of realtors," where the as
sociation saw its beginning 13 years
fcgo.
"The infant organization of 1908,"
says Air. Taylor, "set into motion, by
120 delegates representing 15 states
and 20 cities, has now grown to be a
veritable giant and, with a thrill of
pride over an unparalleled progress
and over the prospect of even greater
achievements in the future, an army
of probably between 7500 and 10,000
realtor delegates are going back to
the birthplace of their association to
represent more than 15,000 active
members of between 350 and 400
realty boards that reach out over
nearly every state in the union and
over several provinces of our neigh
boring country on the north.
Chicago Center of Movement.
"Because of this sentimental appeal
and because our national headquar
ters are now located there in the very
center of our national business ac
tivities, it is altogether fitting and
proper that this, by far the greatest
convention ever held in the history of
our organization, should convene in
Chicago. 1
"If you are to be a good realtor and
a good citizen it is incumbent upon
you to become posted thoroughly on
all current topics allied with your
business, so that you may be enabled
to talk effectively and intelligently
whenever such subjects come up for
discussion in business or social
groups.
"As you have already been told, a
splendid programme of business and
entertainment features has been out
lined for the convention. The alert
and hospitable realtors of Chicago
have raised more than $75,000 to fi
nance the programme. There will be
speakers of world-wide prominence
and distinction.
Work Will Be Practical.
"The business sessions and con
ferences will be so thoroughly prac
tical and instructive that no active
realtor can afford, even from a busi
ness standpoint, to miss them. Bach
department and important phase of
the real estate business w-ill be an
alyzed carefully and intensively at a
special conference to be presided over
by a vice-president, with a recog
nized specialist as leader of the dis
cussion on the particular subject un
der consideration. There will be ten
of these morning conferences going
on at the same time.
"In order to provide plenty of time
for every realtor to express his views
in the discussions following the pres
entation of resolutions touching
upon important topics, the last day
of the convention will be devoted
largely to business. It is my hope
and expectation that we may emerge
from these conferences and debates,
and from the other business sessions,
with many concrete, constructive ac
complishments that will reflect credit
on our association and our profession
and that will be beneficial to the
public at large."

HOME FOR FARM.
51 r. and Mrs. Leonard Will Be
come Owners . of Old Billy
Winters Residence.
A trade involving' a house in Port
land and a farm near Newberg of the
aggregate value of $45,000 was an
nounced last week by Peterson &
York, who represented both parties to
the transaction.
As a result of the deal Mr. and Mrs.
Leonard Will took over the old Billy
Winters residence at the southeast
corner of East Twenty-first street
and Hawthorne avenue and William
Johnson, former owner of the house,
took possession of a 107-acre farm
located near Newbergr.
The residence is considered one of
the show places of that section of the
cltv. It has beautifully laid-out
grounds, 50x150 feet in size. The
house itself is well arranged through
out. The construction price of the
house was said to have been $27,000
at a time when construction costs
were lower than at present.
The farm is a well-improved place.
UNCLE SAM AUCTIONEER
Bonded Liquor Worth $30,000,000
to Be Sold Soon.
NEW YORK. Uncle Sam will soon
hold the greatest auction of wet
goods in the world. About 130.000.000
worth of bonded liquor, confiscated
in New York since the Volstead act
became effective, will be placed under
the hammer. If $5,000,000 is realized
the government will be happy.
But this auction will be a semi
private affair. The man with a
thirst, regardless of the condition of
his pocketbook, will not get an op
portunity to participate, except pos
sibly in the role of a mournful spec
tator on the sidelines. The only bid
ders will be persons duly licensed to
deal in alcohol or have It in their
possession. Some of the liquor may
be given away to hospitals if there
are no bidders.
The principal reason for holding
the auction is that the big warehouse
where the liquor is now stored, is
crowded to capacity. In this glorified
bar room Is stored every kind of in
toxicant known in the dry era. There
are something like 33,000 cases of
rare old whisky, brandy, gin and
wine; more of the same in 5000 bar
rels, to say nothing of hundreds upon
hundreds of demijohns, bottles and
flasks.'
