THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL', PORTLAND. SUNDAY MORNING. MARCH 27. 1910. -; i H H ESI FOR PAVIIIG ES1ETS DEI This is Opinion of Spokane Of: ficfafs Returning From Los Angeles, Where This Mate rial Extensively Used, Official of Spokane, recently returned from I,os Angeles and Paaadona, where the asphalt macadam pavement ad ex tensively laid n i'aliromla cities wa -investigated, have subletted a report In which they declare that thla character of pavemant s the beat possible solu tion for a medium priced hard surfaced pavement n residence streets. One of m Hp.rkana officials. In diaounsliig the trip and the results of the committee's Investigation, has the following- to any: "After studying the matter closely,! have concluded that asphalt macadam Is the best solution of the medium priced pavement for residence and other streets where the. traffic Is not excessive, and that It can ho laid In the Pacific north west at $1.25 a square yard. "' """ --XmatcU .Vwbjaaa. "In laying this pavement trie ffrsl step is to excavate the subgrade and roll it until It Is smooth and. hard. Ten six Inches of crushed rock small enough to pans throuKh a three Inch screen are laid and rolled until thoroughly packed uuwn. "Asphalt oil is then applied. Thla Is a heavy, thick oil, containing about 85 per cent pure asphalt, and la heated to about 2011 degrees before being put on. About three quarts are used to each sriuure foot of surface, and then a layer I St crushed rock which will pass through w one Inch xcreen Is put on and rolled I mm uie voios uiween tun larger stones. i More oil Is then applied, and a top droKising of rock screened about tho size of wheat kernels is sprinkled on, and the surface again rolled. Looks Ziika Asphalt Strsst j "The finished road has the appcar- nrp of an asphalt street, the only no- able difference being' that there la a grlttlnesM to the surface which pre vents it from b4lng allppery. In Pasa dena teams travel up and down an S per cent grade with no difficulty what ever, the horses being apparently sure of' their footing. "In Ias Angelas I saw a four mule team hauling several granite steps for a new hulldtng which fronted on a street paved Jn thla manner. The load must have . weighed at least 10,000 pounds, and it was hauled past the building backed in and uploaded, and after the team loft I could not find a mark on the pavement made by either the wagon wheels or the horses' shoes. Thla was a severe test, but It satisfied me of the value of this pavement."

It Is understood that ut least one of tlic large close-In residence additions In I'ortland which Is now undergoing ex tensive street improvements will be puved with this asphalt macadam. A I os Angeles firm Is said to have sub mitted a proposition to pave the streets In this addition, which contains about 160 acres, at the rate of it 10 per square yard. The matter has not as yet been brought to the attention of the council, but will be In a short time, and an ef fort will be made to secure permission to lay the first of this class of pave ment in this city. W. jr. Lewi of Lewis. Wiley V Co of Seattle spent Wednesday in the city looking after his firm s operations here In regrading the Mil property In the western section of the Nob HU1 district Mr. Wiley, is much pleased with' the progress made in building the Immense flume and installing the Dumping plant in uuiw s lake preparatory to tearing down the hill. He expects to be ablo io begin sluicing within the next two or three, weeks. . The immense electrtcsl pumn plant which was used In the Jarkson street regrade in Seattlo has been shipped to Portland and Is now being Installed in Guild's lake. An auxiliary plant Is also ricing installed to furnish the necessary power when the regrading reaches the upper.ii.clgjlts, , Sixty Founds Pressure." """" At the ttsrt the pump will throw stream of water with a pressure of about 60 pound to the square inch, but as the lower levels of the hill ai washed away and the higher stretches are reached, the auxiliary power will be employed which will give a pressure of about 120 pounds to the square inch. The esrth which is to be hydraullced from the hills will be sullced down Into part of Balch's gulch and Into that por tion of the lake owned by the I-ewla-W'lley company. The plans for regrading this hill which were prepared by Knglneer Olm jtead of Boston call for the removal of aoout 4,000.000 square yards of earth which. It is estimated by Mr. Lewis, will require two years of steady night and day sluicing to remove. Mr. Lewis said while In the city that his company planned to employ about 100 men ron- tmuously while doing the work and tht to complete the regrading of t lie hill and improving of the property as pro- viaeo ror in oimsteaa s plans will re quire the expenditure ol close to 1 1,000, -000. t.

The company plana to follow up the regrade work with, the general improve ment of the tract, that Is, water, sewer and gas mains will be laid, sidewalks put In, streets parked and hard sur faced in sections, so that very soon after the work of regrading is done the Im provements as planned ' may be fin ished. I The new addition is to be called St. Helen's Heights. It will contain about SOU view residence sites which will be reached by means of .an 80 foot boule vard which will ascend from the lower levels to the higher in such a way as to preserve the outlook of each indi vidual lot. The plan Is something alto gether different from anything ever at tempted in Improving Portland resi dence property, and promises to make one of the most beautiful sections in the city.

To convince yourself of the value of this property, it is necessary for you to LOOK OVERLOOK OVER OVERLOOK LAMP COMPANY - .207 BURNSIDE ST., PORTLAND, OREGON. 5 Thjs 'Advert ispment Was" Written by Fred' Locldcy, Manager ol the Pacific Monthly, Portland. Or. Mr. Locfcley is an advertising and literary man of wide experience; also, he is one of the'.'.' best-informed men upon business conditions, natural resources and development matters on i the entire coast. Mr. Lockley has written in his advertisement certain facts about Othello which should appeal to all people with sound business judgment, regardless of their occupa tion, interests or employment. Mr. Lockley 's statement is straightforward, frank and honest and should appeal to you as you read it as the story of a conservative, truthful man. Mr. Lock- leys story reads as follows; . ' j WHY I MML EN VEST M TEELL e Ar you one of the lucky ones who are going to get in on the ground floor on OTHELLO? OTHELLO! Whafi OTHELLO? A running horse, A new make of automobiles or a new townsite? Your last guess was the best one. It's a new town, and it's a sure winner. Where is it, and what makes you think it it a sure winner? It's in eastern Washington, in Adams county, on the, line of the new transconti nental railroad, the Chicago,. Milwaukee & St Paul, that has just opened up such a vast body of rich and productive new territory. Are there any other large cities or grow ing towns near Qthdlo? No that's the beauty of it. Othello will not have to fight any nearby rivals for trade. It will serve a very large stretch of country as a trading center. . How about the surrounding country is it productive? ! Productive? Why, man, Adams county is called the bread-basket of the Inland Em pire. Many a wealthy retired farmer has made his money in raising wheat there and now, with transportation available, just watch that section. How about other crops? Is it a good fruit country? For apple-raising it can't be beat. The climate is splendidly adapted to fruitgrow ing mild winters, cool nights in summer, warm days, altitude of slightly more than a thousand feet above sea level. Yes, it is a splendid fruit country. Do you think values are apt to increase? How can they help it? The west just now has what the world wants land ; but with the constant and ever-increasing influx of homeseekers from the middle western states land values are constantly rising. Look at Hood River, North Yakima, We nt tehee, Sunnyside, How do their present values compare with those of tea years ago? Land that could be bought ten years ago for $2.50 an acre is now selling for $250 an acre. What effect do you suppose the building of the Panama canal will hare on the west? Well, all I've got to say is you had bet ter get hold of some land, either acreage or residence or business lots, before the canal is completed, for values are on the up grade and the completion of the canal will mean very much higher values, due to the growth of the country. How about OTHELLO? Well, it is new values are still low. Look it up thoroughly, and if you are sat isfied that what I have said as to the growth of the country and the consequent increase on land values is right, then put your money in real estate. FRED LOCKLEY. When you have read this announcement, do not let anything prevent you from immedi ately calling- at our offices and making a full and complete investigation of all the facts re garding Othello. Lots purchased there now will increase in value beyond anything you may imagine, and it does not require any considerable outlay of money to get in "on the ground floor." Those who purchase now, purchase at the lowest rock-bottom prices and will have the benefit of all the increases in values which are bound to come with the rapid development of the resources of the country surrounding Othello and the increases in population in the city itself. Ixts may be purchased upon easy terms, allowing anyone to participate in prospects of the new city. In fact, you may practically make your own terms if you purchase at once. We believe that every person who purchases a lot in Othello becomes an enthusiastic sup porter of the city, and for this reason : The first lots sold in Portland will be sold upon practically any terms agreeable to the purchasers, provided they show only good faith in their dealings with us. Call at our office and talk with Mr. Xewkirk, our manager, at once. Get the very com prehensive statement of resources, industries and conditions at Othello, which we have had published in the form of a booklet, with complete illustrations, and get such other literature as we have regarding Othello, and fully satisfy yourself that whatever we say about Othello is a conservative, carefully weighed expression of our belief in the city.
