Concerns Coming. : -
'The ' Peninsula Industrial company.
the corporation which recently took over
.the vast landed holdings of the Strut
Interests, extending from Oregon slough
to the . Columbia river and having a deep
water frontage of nearly three miles.
has formulated plans for establishing
one of the best appointed and best ' lo
cated ' strictly manufacturing districts
adjacent to, any city in the ; United
States. . . i' v . .... , : .''
Ia area, ' the new manufacturing dis
trict .embraces 3100 acres: It extends
from the Oregon slough on the south
to Columbia, slough on the north. It
has a deep water frontage xf about three
miles. A large portion of the district
la under water ' a greater part of the
year, but the new company proposes to
.dredge arid fill all of tho low groutid,
bringing It above high water mark, so
that the entire area will be available as
sites for manufacturing purposes.
;;;'V,:a'. BjUlld, System: of,. JBooks.
ThejrtOpral program for the Improve
ment of the district Includes the build
ing of an extensive system of docks on
Columbia slough-Immediately west of
the Monarch Lumber company's plant
The entire area will be water front and
terminal served, a system of canals con
necting the lakes and extending north
and south across tne property together
with Oregon and Columbia sloughs, will
provide a deep water frontage for Con
siderably more than half the area of the
district, Railway Jlnes will be extend
ed from the Union Meat company ter
minals throughout the entire five square
miles. . . .
That Portland will bulk largo as a
manufacturing, center ' within the ' next
few years Is the belief of the managers
and owners of this property and in mak
ing the district available and suitable
as a site for manufacturing, ware
house and elevator sites -they propose
to have a place to locate the Incoming
Industrie . Numerous Inquiries are now
being directed, toward the Pacific coast
by, the-large manufacturing concerns of
the east, looking toward the establish
ment of branch plants here and it Ja
the Intention -of the Peninsula Indus
trial company to nqt only Interest, these
people in Portland, but to be prepared
to offer them suitable '. locations on
which to build.
The company has ample capital to de-.
velop the property and will expend what
ever is necessary and requisite to make
of it an Ideal manufacturing center. If
proposes to get In touch' with all of, the
eastern manufacturing; concerns "of na
tional Import, and when anyone of them
Is on the lookout for, a Pacific coast lo
cation, nothing will be left undone to
Iwate it in Portland. The company also
proposes to work through the commer
cial .organization of Portland, the big
transcontinental rstilrnnd entering here,
besides carrying on an extensive adver
tising campaign throughout the east,
all for the purpose of making Portland
the manufacturing center of the Puclfio
' coast. ,', .

that from the total value (railroad esti

"I have always been a consistent.

thus meet and discuss measures and men
to the end 'that they -bring about the
very best, results for party fealty as
well as the state's f uturo prosperity and
success, . ' '
"I firmly believe that the Republican
