During the last few months - IS modern and commodious dwellings have been erected, none cost ing less than $4,000, while many cost much more. There is quit a number more In course of erection now. Wasco street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth, and Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets between Multnomah and Clackamas streets, are now being improved with Hassam pavement,' a Massachusetts proposition, which has found great favor in the east. It is said that Has sam pavement is so well . thought of through New York that some million aires had 60 miles of it laid for their own use. Rock and cement is mostly used in its manufacture. Over $30,000 has been spent for cement walks last year in Holladay's addition. There is no finer addition in Portland, and none la ' showing such . nigh-class improve ments. " There are no stores or saloons in the tract. As nothing but modern residences can bo built, it will always be a desirable district.

The development of this district, -'by a wealthy syndicate under the manage ment of Messrs. Hart man A Thompson, has been along the lines which assurs a high-class residence district. Realis ing the Impossibility of securing from the city and from ths water board the improvements necessary, ths syndicate built Its own streets, laid cement side walks and city water mains, secured the construction of ths street railway and the extension of the electrio light service, and sold their property at prices competing with other districts where these Improvements did not exist ONLY FEW LOTS LEFT IN WIBERG HEIGHTS In June. 1807, ths Columbia Trust company platted Wiberg heights into 108 lots and with little effort the com pany has sold three-quarters of it out There Is a $1,500 building restriction which Insures a nice class of residence!. Ths streets are being graded and grav eled and six foot cement walks, with curbs, are being laid and Bull Run water Is on ths. tract Ths popular plan of a small sum" down and monthly pay ments seems to bs the drawing card in the majority of new additions and ths Columbia Trust company finds It very . satisfactory. . . .
