The rumor Is that the. Milwaukee's
agents are trying to tie tip a portion of
the Weyerhaeuser tract on the river
front, although no confirmation af the
reputed deal has been forthcoming. It
In also rumored that the company Is

Practically all of the road will have
to be on piles and It is estimated that
It would cost between $40,000 and $50,
000 to build such a highway from the
high ground at fiast St. Johns to tha big
Industrial planta on Oregon slough.
The only way In which wagon com
munication Is now had between St.
Johns and the Swift plant Is through
Kenton, which means an extra drive of
at least four miles.
That twe first clasa highways should
connect the high ground on the penin
sula with the Immense Industrial plants
on the south bank of the Columbia
river. Is asserted by the people of St.
Johns. One Of the most substantial
pieces of roadway hi the state extends
from Kenton across the overflow
peninsula-lands to the Swift plant, and
it la Just as essential that the resi
dents of the lower peninsula be provided
with a way to reach the industrial cen
ter on the north side of the peninsula.

South along and overlooking the "Wil
lamette river, from Ellsworth street
to Mllwaukle street, making one of
. the finest drives In the city. Grand ave
nue is at last to be extended, after
more than two years of strenuous work
on the part of W. J. Clemens and others
who own homes facing the proposed ex
tension. The Woodward pavilion prop
erty, on Ellsworth street, at the head
of Grand avenue, has all along been
the chief stumbling block In the way
of 'the .movement to extend the avenue.
This property and the strip along the
river belong to the Portland. Railway,
Light A Power company, and only re
- cently has Mr. Clemens succeeded In
Inducing the officials of that tompany
to dedicate a 0 Joot atrip off the west
end of the Woodward block, and a 10
foot strip from the' east side of Its
river front holdings to where the ave
nue extended will turn east to merge
with Milwaukle street. Now, however,
these details have all been arranged and
a full 60 foot driveway has been dedi
cated by the railway company and the
other owners of property facing this
avenue as extended. "
A movement Is on foot to have the
extension graded and a hard "surface
pavement laid. The intention of the In
terested property owners Is to petition
the council to have this work done this
summer. South from Hawthorne ave
nue to Ellsworth street, Grand aventie
Is to be hardsurfaced. The avenue is
now paved from Hawthorne avenue
north to Holladay with the exception
of the three block fill from East Stark
to East Ash street, which will- prob
ably be paved this summer. s
The . Grand avenue extension vrHI
make one of the finest scenic drive in
the city, and will prove an invaluable
attraction to - that section of Portland.
It will command ar magnificent outlook
over a greater part of the west side
and from It much of the east side look
ing toward the north may be seen. I
