, Propose Great improvements
Paralleling River. t
A. macadamised. rolled boulevard, 80
feet wide and approximately-Ave mtlei
long, following the contour ot the) hills
north of Portland to Linnton, on eleva
tions varying from 4S0 to too feet. Is
an Immediate possibility. It Is within
tha power of th county of I-ultnomah,
which would generally profit la Jargi
way from such development, to start
the - contemplated boulevard system
which It is proposed to center in Port
land. " - t- " - -
"If the county wltl take ths necessary
steps promptly, while our company Is
working out Its plans bet-ween - Wil
lamette heights and Linnton, such a
boulevard can be constructed at a cost
approximately one fifth of the normal
cost of such an Improvement." said
Lafs Pence, president of th Pence com
pany. "It so happens that pur sater
prise fits In with ths boulevard propo
sition at this time, and. we would be
able to do a lot of work that would cost
ths publt. comparatively a bagatelle.
-"But If the public part of th project
were held back a year or two by th
necessity of voting bonds and- perform
hi various slow and laborious circumlo
cutions, w could not hold book our
work to keep pace with It. Th chance
Is her now. and If tha people will em
brace It we will do what w can to
hslp." "
Mr. Penes, at th monthly dinner of
ths Portland Commercial olub last even,
ing. mads an Important announcement
regarding the plans of his company and
Others who ar Interested In property
holdtnsV between ' Willamette Heights
and Linnton. . Th Pane company has
decided to build a loop Interurban elec
tric. railroad running along, ths face of
the hills, from Willamette- Heights to
Linnton.- thence dropping; by a tH per
cent grade to - th lower road between
Linnton and Portland, and returning via
that rout to'. th city and passing
through the Lewis and Clark' exposi
tion grounds, where capitalists back -f
ths Pence company propose to establish
an industrial and manufacturing cen
ter. ' ,
Abnadaat Uta Momea. .
"The project to make a manufactur
ing district 'at ths exposition grounds,
whera buildings have been- purchased,
would have been much further along; by
this tims had It not been for one ob
stacle th 'absence f cheap home
sites for employes," . said Mr. Pence.
"W- hav had ,thre large concerns
ready to remove their .plants from the
east and bring their employes to Port
land could w hav furnished - them
cheap homes for th employee without
sending them fiv mil to Bant Port
land suburba , .-'...' '.''-
"This obstacle 1 to Our undertaking
haa been overcom by th proposal to
open the district , between Willamette
heights and Llnntoa. We shall con
tlnus th Linnton-road lln from th
fair grounds to Llnntoa. then loop back
along the hillside and open on of th
most beautiful suburban, residence dis
tricts to b found anywher . In th
world. Th lln will b built at once.
Men of means hav agreed to com In
and flnano It and th . bonds are al
ready practically sold, ' v
"Ths Idea that cams into my mind at
th Commercial club dinner Wet even
ing was BlmpIy thlstUrbat it would b
a pity for th clt of Portland and
county of Multnomah to miss this
chanc to get In on tb ground floor

cost later on." , .

ernment against Blnger Hermann, now
oa trial In Washington oa a charge of
destroying record copy books while

It Is probable that be will be free again
to advertise and check up ths advance
sale of his history of ths Oregon land
frauds, which h la now engaged la
writing. -:'-,:
Tarns State's Bvtteaoe. -
It Is rumored that in consideration
of Puter's willingness to testify for
th prosecution la -the -Hermann case
aad th value of hi testimony, th gov
ernment will suspend the balance of
hla penal aervioe and th IT.600 fin im
posed at tb tlm he waa sentenced last

Meldrum. ax-aurveyor-general of Ore
gon, who was tried and convicted, for
complicity in th Oregon land frauds,
but who has not - ae yet suffered th
penalty Imposed, will be pardoned.
Puter was tried and convicted by
special assistant to th attorney-general
Francis J. Heney. He waa - sen
tenced to- two years Imprisonment In
th county jail and subjected to a fine
of 17,600. Puter waa committed to the
Jail July , 100. and. barring th tlm
deducted for good behavior, would atlll
have ,I -months to serve before hie
sentence wasi completed In addition to
th payment of hi Una - Puter" con
viction and Imprisonment lost him his
eltlsenshlp and "he, therefore, had noth
ing to fear from the courts if hs refused
to sppear -as a witness against Her
mann. His trip to1 Washington In be

Keldram Ala to Raeap.
Henry Meldrum was th first of those
Implicated in the Oregon land frauds to
be convicted, , th prosecution having
been conducted by John Hall who was
than United States district attorney.
Meldrum waa sentenced to 1,080 days
Imprisonment on .. McNeil's island - and
a fin of 15,250' and costs. He ap
pealed his case, hut th Judgment of the
lower court waa affirmed. The reason
why his sentence waa never carried out
Is probably that the government real
ised then the Importance of Meiarum's
testimony when the , Hermann -case
should come to trial. - .
Now that the testimony of both Puter
and Meldrum Is wanted la Washington
and will be given without any objec
tion on their part, a pardon, it , is
stated, will be extended to them In con
