On tha day tb lwl and Clark ex position opened Lafayette Fane, eon-. tractor, civil engineer and ex-eoncreas-man, sat on the hill above the ground and viewed the ceremonies from afar. We had borrowed 1500 from a friend to par oft bis men and (Wo each one a ft sold place to spend at the enow, and it : . nad taken hla laat dollar to so around. , Today ha retuaed I600.00Q for property , owned by him at the fair grounds, and hla company's holdings there are ap- praised at ll.OOS.OOO. v It la said the decision of the Harrt . ' wan and . Hill railroad eompanlea , to ' , combine and Extend their terminals haa made Lafe Penes a millionaire.. Hla ' nerve and genius as an engineer have ; . apparently much to do with hla present good fortune. : Tha landa now purchased by the Hill , and Ilarrlman companies extend from 1 Hoyt street to Doana's lake, and 'from - tha Willamette river on tha aaat to Government island ta Outld's lake on tha wast. They would have Jneluded tha Pence company's holdings In the lake If Mr. Pence had not foreseen what was coming, and held on and peralat antly puahed forward his treat hydrau lloklng scheme ' there, regardless Of flnanolal strees under which ha many times labored. .. X Yalaable aTelaVprnsoaV ; ' Tha new railroad terminals will' bor der hla landa on the aaat, rendering them valuable for warahouaa and manu facturing purposes, or for terminals for tha next tra'nacontlnental railroad that antera Portland. Oir tha weat of them la .the Unnton road and a range of steep bill. These landa are tha only water-level railroad terminal gounds left unappropriated In Weat Portland. The lands In question were covered with eight feet of , water during tha exposition. Prior to that time tha area waa known aa a lake, and tha high water stage of tha Willamette river al ways raised tha lake to .within two feet of tha preaent level of the floor of the government building on tha teland, and within on foot of the contour of the Northern Paolflo main .Una, where It paaaea between the lake and tha river. Bitting on tha hill above tha expoaK tlon ground; on the fateful day 'of the opening, Knglneec Pence aaw. In "hla mind' eye, what waa to follow the ex poaltlon. He aald to hla son, 'who la a growing young engineer: "1 am not In It at tha opening, but I will ba there at the close." . ; Tslng Trail Bridge Timber. , Resident ' of ' Willamette f Height whose residences have been quaklag from the shocks of dynamite explosions until they have appealed to tha mayor to stop Pence, ar now certain that-fte Is there with a vengeance. He has pur- chaeed the Cottel . tract of 10 acres, oonalatlng of the weat part of tha lake, and Including the long bridge knowa aa the Trail, lie is ualng the tlmbera of tha bridge to-bulkhead the Cottel tract on the north and cast, to-a height of II feet As fast a tha pile driver ar moved the filling begin. Already mud through a flume from Balclt creek I pouring upon tb tract, and the surface In soma places Is four feet higher than It was sis months ago. In a few days tb site of the American Inn will be reached. The ruins of that structure will be burned, and the ashes will be oevered under II feet of mud 'from the hills. ','''',..-' Pence haa now under operation ap proximately It .miles of flumes, on three levels, respectively -400. TOO and 100 feet One of them extends through the hills to the westward and brings water from a stream In Washington county. . Dirt Is loosened by blaatlrfg" la the higher levels of Balob's gulch, and la ''then carried In solution In the flumes ta the plaos where It Is deposited for filling. ,v - a '. . v, . Mad ' TkroagV Pipe XJma. . The longest high pipeline ever con structed for mud filling haa been built oaf a trestle extending from Baloh's gulch to Government Island. It croaaes the lake on 'what Is left of the Trail bridge, and la a mile long. Through It mud Is pouring upon .the government Island, . around which a levee five feet high has been thrown up. .. - . . This Island laowned by the Reed estate, but they government building Is owned ' by Lafe Pence, who has a 10 year lease on the Island, with a contract to fill It to a level with the floor of the government building, or two feet above high water mark. It la the Intention of Mr.: Pence to leaae the building to a large manufacturing concern. - He ha declined a tempting offer to leaae It for warehouae purpose. The building 1 but a short distance from the Northern PaclAo main line, and a sidetrack which formerly extended to It will be replaced permanently 'Ba' saoaV as the filling Is done. ," ' -r MoWnaaVa Flaa Balked. . V (- - On o the. most Important factors In the present operations at the exposition M 11." avtrifta grounds is John B. McMillan, 'recently deposed railroad 'commissioner of tha suae of Washington. Mr. McMillan has Invested a fortune of about 5U0.0u n the exposition grouuda. lie owns all the principal building e and the grounda on which tbey are situated, excepting the Forestry building. . It la aald hla In tention waa to erect a residence on tb brow of the hill overlooking the aite of Guild's lake, and moke hi permanent home there. MoMlllan'a plan contemplated the platting of the ground for realdence purpose but retaining In a general way the landscaping and atreet laid out by tha exposition builder. 1 Owing to ob stacles that aroa through objections of some holders - of small pleoe of the streets, he was balked In hi purpose, and has been suable to oarry out hi plan. . . - aUeotrl Ua Proposed. '-' . Tha Cottel tract that la bow being filled will be devoted to warehouse and manufacturing sites. It Is the purpose of the Fonoe company to build rein forced concrete warehouse a, Tbey have ample supplies of gravel that will be sluiced from the hills snd crushed with a rook crusher that, will be Installed near the old experimental gardens of tha exposition. After their own needs are supplied they will . sell crashed rock, and continue the Industry at that point, because of the convenience of de livery. The a lac trio railroad which Pane pro poses to construct ander the franchise be has Just applied for, will croaa the Cottel tract from the Unnton road and pass Just north of the Homer Daven port farm and east along the road to the Idaho building and over Nloolal street to a connection with the United Rail ways company's line at Pettygrove and Twenty-sixth streets. It will connect with the Portland Railway, Light Power company's lines at Upshur rnd Twenty-sixth and at Thurman - and Twenty-sixth streets. The line after following the Llnnton road about five miles will loop upward along the hills and return at an elevation of about 400 feet to Willamette , Heights and drop back to the Cornell road, crossing that thoroughfare and connecting again with the other electric Unas. Power will be purchased from the Portland Rail way, Light at Power oompany, and transfer arrangements mads with theni In acoofdance with the city ordinances.
