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.

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

The new addition is to be called St.
Helen's Heights. It will contain about

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

one of the most beautiful sections in the

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.
