Cooperation Has Worked
Wonders for Trade on
the East Side.
Ground was broken Monday for the
caat side library building- to be erected
a location at Kast Aiaer ana jnmi
on
Eleventh streets. t The property was do
nated br member of the Portland Li
brary association with the proviso that
east aide reaidenta should eubaerlbe sur
fctent funda to build a suitable budding-.
Tba Library association baa start
ed the work on the Bits' this week, con
fident, that the money will all be aub-
. scribed at an early date.
O. W Scott, a prosperous and buey
implement Jobber in the east aide dis
trict. -haa bean appointed chairman or
the soliciting- committees by the East
IS Ida improvement association, nu
oamnBim htwn nrranlzed. However,
because, of tha financial flurry and for
the reason that many or the solicitors
are very busy at thia time with their
own affairs, the subscriptions have not
been coming In as rapidly aa expected.
Temporary Banding Vow.
It wsa first planned to build a library
bulldins; for the east side that would be
an ornament to tne oisinci ana wouiu
v, r.r onM m ilnnt material. . Such
a building would cost in the neighbor
hood of 120,000. Owinf to the ract
that the present quarters utilised by the
Library association In the basement of
the liirn scnooi are anomy w vm re
quired for school purposes It was de-
cided to build a temporary building at
a much less cost-' . -
The commltteea are now endeavoring
to raise 12.600 to buna a irame ouua
Ing mat will suit the uses of a library
tintil such a time aa tha people of the
rant side feel willing to build more
pretentions structure. It Is also be
cause of the need of an Immediate place
for a library that the Library associa
tion la going ahead with excavations
for the new branch on East Eleventh.
Subscriptions from ths east side are
expected In small sums from $5 to-120.
, Pome large subscriptions have , corae
from west elds people and Mr. Scott
thinks that the east side should be much
encouraged at the attitude of the west
side and the aid that has come to the
eaat side In this matter,
t -Tanas rorthcomiiif.
Besides this outside help the Library
association promises Its hearty cooper
ation and that tha east side branch will
pnon develop Into an Important library
If the people of the east side show the
trorer antrit and encourage Its jrrowth.
"There will be little difficulty In get-
ting the ' necessary funds," said Mr.
Kcott yesterday, "aa the sum required
3 very small. It seems that Important
K-mbera of the committee have been
busy to do much since the panlo and
, consequently not much of the money la
In ei gift right now. But I think we can
get the money In 10 daya or two weeks
at most If the committees all started
to work .together and kept It up until
, the sum was raised..
"There is not a permanent resident on
thia aide of the river but la willing to I
give a small sum and there are none that
cannot affora it. au mat is required is
to get out and ask for It They will
not come In and throw their money at
the committees. - Tne unrary la an in
stitution that la of the greatest benefit
to all persons regardless or caste
class, and - everybody . recognises
fact.'" ,;:;ii . a.-- -J !;.,:-
The. contract ia
the largest of its kind ever let In Port
land and waa accepted by the Pacific
Bridge company last spring. Special
eauiDment had to be nurchaaed by the
con trac tore in order to handle the un-
dcrtaJrln. Tha Dronertv la held V.y
aeveral owners and will be chleny used
as a wholesale district.
Tha nronertv la altuated in a loca
tion especially desirable as a Jobbing
dlatrlct Jt Is adjacent to the Southern
Pacific terminal and la amply supplied
with spurs. The main una or tne Boum-
ern Pacific paaaea directly through the
district. It Includes all those blocks
and the atresia between Hawthorne ave
nue on the aouth, Eaat Flrat street on
the west. Belmont street .on the north
and Grand avenue on tha eaat.
Building Haw Dredge.
In order to properly handle the con
tract. O.. W. Simons of the Pacific
Bridge company went east last summer
and placed an order for a dredge anl
other machinery. The dredge Is now
nearly complete including the install ;d
machinery. It will take several weeks
yet, however, before the machinery can
be properly adjusted and the work can
proceed. The dredge Is nearing com
riletlon in the harbor at St. Johna.
At the foot of East Morrison street
In a location convenient to the alte of
the fill, has been built a dock with a
series of tracks. Train a of dump cara
will be loaded from spills on the docts
by the dredge and the' material in this
way taken rrom tne river win oa con
veyed to the lowlands in the proposed
fill. Already' work has commenced from
thia dock. The material ia taken from
ships' ballast that comprise the grain
fleet In the harbor. At preaent, how
ever, the material la going onto the
street fills and not on the large prop
erty fia
won boob Duma.
The machinery has all been In
stalled," aald Mr. Simons, the other
day, when asked about the work, "and
we expect to get started at least by
February 15. Of course, there may be
some delay in getting everything to
work smoothly at first but taking
everything into consideration we hope
to get tne worst going Dy tnat date.
' The contract was let at tha Instiga
tion of the East Side Improvement as
sociation. The organisation workad
hard before satisfactory agreements
were reached and all the property own
ers had signed up. Whitney L. Bolie
was one of the prime movers in the plan
and considerable credit Is given him
for the satisfactory outcome of the
deal.
ALL TALK AT MOUNT
"The spirit of cooperation that has
been engendered through) the East Bids
Business Men's club," says President C.
A. Blgelow, "I feel to be the greatest
gain accomplished, notwithstanding the
fact that our business has Increaaed 7S
per cent during tho last year. aS the di
rect result of, the advertlalna and other
efforts put forth y the organisation.
"We merely ask that eaat aldera 'try
the eaat aide' flrat. and If then they do not
find what they want we are willing for
mem 10 go o tne otner side or tne
river, However, so well do the business
men In this district work together that
a customer is prevailed upon to go- to
anotner east side store before he leaves
the district altogether, and under the
system very few ever get away from us
now.
It has been our endeavor to make tha
east side retail district aa attractive as
possible by securing street Improvements,
more lights and to encourage Individual
business men to buy electrlo street
signs. All these thlnga help the dis
trict and we cannot expect to have a
city on thia side until we have all. these
tnings.

'Our first great fight waa for the
Improvement of Eaat Stark atreet.

Planning for Saw Tear.
There are many things the east side
business men are planning for the new

the Portland Ad club in the future and
a hearty cooperation Is growing up
