' Sanitary Structure to Be One of Finest of Kind on Coast; Site" at Fourth and Yamhill Is Location. Patterned after the., fine public mar kets of San Francisco, Thomas Scott Brooke Is preparing to begin the erec tion at the southeast corner of Fourth and Yamhill of a sanitary market which will be as handsome and up to date structure of its kind as is to be found on the Pacific coast. While In reality, but one story high, the structure will have the appearance of having two stories from the fact that the display feature will take the form of bay win dows with a clear story above. The dis play windows are to, be almost solidly of plate glass, with pier facings of white terra cotta. The roof is to be of green tile. There are to be 14 separate depart ments as follows: Meat and poultry, fish, fruit and vegetables, tea and cof fee, delicacies, creamery products, bak ery, confectionery, family wines and li quors, grill, household goods, florist and candles.

There Is to be a 10 foot basement which will be reached from the sidewalk by means of three elevators. Each ten ant will have a space In the basement equal to his space on the main floor, which will be used largely for storage and for carrying on all the work nec essary in a public market. Each tenant jwlll be supplied with refrigeration from a caniru piani operated Dy me man agement of the building. The main entrance to the building will be at the street corner and' It will We flanked on either side with a booth, one for a florist's shop and the other for cigars. On the mezzanine floor will be located telephone booths, ice cream par lor, ladies' retiring room and demon s t tors' booths. The building Is to be of the Old Eng lish type of market and of absolutely fireproof construction. An interesting feature of the design Is the double dis play window arrangement, so contrived that It may be seen from the Inside as well as the outside of the building. S. C. Jones, a San Francisco market man of experience, was called In by Mr. Brooke and architects Whitehouee and Fouil houx to assl.it in designing the arrange ment of booths. WM. RIDGEWAY, PIONEER OREGON BUILDEfl (Special to Tba Journal) Sheridan, Or., Aug. 12. William Rldgeway was born In Buchanan coun ty. Mo., September 3, 1842, and died August 4, 1911. With his parents, John and Tabltha Rldgeway, and two brothers, John (liv ing) and Lindsay (deceased), he emml grated to Oregon In 1845 and settled on the Luckiamute river, moving to Mill 'Creek (now Buel), Polk county), where the father took up a donation land elalm. On this claim were born eight children, of whom two daughters, Mrs. J. W. Black, of Dallas, and Miss Mary Rldgeway, of Buell, arid four sons, John, Charles and Joseph Rldge way, living on the homestead, and Hen ry Rldgeway, of Portland, still survive their father. As With most pioneers, Mr. Ridge way'B life was filled with hardships, especially in the early days. At the age of 19, while hunting, he had the misfortune to lose one arm. Being pos sessed of a strong ambition, he tolled on, and five years la ted attended La creole academy at Dallas, Or After teaching school a short time, he was elected county assessor of Polk coun ty and served In this office for three years. In 1878 Mr. Rldgeway married Matil da J. Blair, of one of the pioneer fam ilies of Oregon. They settled on part of the land claim, where they have since resided. To this union were born bIi children, five of whom are living: Mrs. O. T. Both, of Boise. Idaho, and Mary, Inez, William and Lloyd, all of whom reside on the farm. Mr. Rldgeway was a lover of fine stock and this has been the means of accumulating a large estate.' He has always advocated higher education and has taken an active part in public school work, serving as school clerk and di rector for several terms. He was al ways Interested in the welfare of the immunity In which he lived and siwvea as justice oi tne peace. - The deceased was a member of the I. O. O. F. at Sheridan and was active In the order, holding different offices. Funeral services were conducted by the Odd Fellows, with a sermon by th) Rev. Kuhlman. Interment took place at the Sheridan cemetery. For polishing places on metal work not easily reached an emery cord has been devised, a strong thread being coated with finely powdered emery. 3C Sw ' -,L . 1 i flBLI ..

One of the largest and most determinative of these meetings was held in Oregon City. It waa attended among others, by C. C. Chapman, promotion manager of the Commercial club, and Mr. Chapman has written the following report of the im portant gathering: Picturesque descriptions or Oregon's road system, hitter opposition to auto mobiles and frank expressions from back country farmers cleared the atmosphere at the big Oregon City good roads meet ing last week and resulted in unani mous harmonious action towaras con structing the most Important link in the east side highway from Portland to the state capital. - All the road districts and commercial bodies from SO miles along the highway were represented. Following the meet ing commltteea were organized to de velop local Interest in each community and road district, tollclt funds and ther the road project in cooperation with the Capital hlgnway commission and the county courts of Multnomah, Clack amas and Marlon counties. Kodgers Belates Experience, "The good Lori knows we need a road system In Oregon. Our present 'hit and miss' system la a jumble, a helter skel ter pot pourrl. Everybody has a finger In the pie, everybody is an expert. We have roads, roadB, roads everywhere, but not a road In sight. The roads are down somewhere, hidden beneath mud or dusfc." The foregoing tribute waa from the mouth of ex-Mayor Rodgera of Salem, chairman of the Capital highway com mission. Mr. Rodgers related an experi ence with a farmer and others present referred to it as typical of a strong feel ing existing all through the state in opposition to building so-called "joy ride" roads. , "I visited an old time farmer, a large land owner," said Mr. Rodgers. "His place is located right on the east link of the proposed Capital highway. I asked him whether he would support the project The minute he learqed my object, he resumed planing and as the shavings fell he told me he would sup port the road, only to the extent of paying a road tax if he had to, that the road would not do him any good and that the only good it would do, would be to give more automobiles en couragement to run over children and chickens, frighten horses and dust up his berries, . his front porch and his house." ' State Master C. E. Spence of the grange threw much light on the point of view, of back country farmers to- ward the trunk highways overlooking the railroads. "What we want," said he, "la Improvement of roads from our farms up the valleys to our market towns on the railroads. If the business men of Portland and our railroad towns want to encourage road development in the way that helps the state, they will devote their energy to helping farmers get their produce to market at a lower cost per ton mile. These automobile highways are of no direct benefit to the great majority of farmers, as so few of them are located along the main high ways or on the roads branching from them. The farmers' roads mostly come down the valleys directly to the mar : 1 xzzzz building under construction, for Sweet & DQ THEIR SHARE IN BUILDING OF ROAD 'Jl'JT"..Wl!r'l."W'".Jmmiit.HmMilll. ttrsXii'TI usilllMlllsllllllll liiimwwwihiii jsimssi c r r ti' w a hi ur- k, ii : nr nv r ttt -4 i . t : : h , III ir iVfiH" iri f t t l t V ' III: TO HAVE.

In common with all others present, fMr. Spence supported the action taken by the committee in favor or financing the Capital highway In the communities and districts bordering thereon, but stated that the back country farmers would oppose vigorously any use of their road 'taxes, except on the farm roads still needing improvement. Sixty-four Delegates Present. F. J. Tooze Was chairman of the meet ing and M. D. Latourette waa secretary. The entire Capital highway commission, consisting of George K. Rodgers of Sa lem, C. T.

Chicago, Aug. 12. What Is thought to be part of a blackmailing plot against C. K. G. Billings, the millionaire horseman, and his mother, Mrs. A. M. Billings, was frustrated here yesterday when detectives arrested a negro, who called on Mrs. Billings and demanded a position with her and the payment of $500.

Govern ment's Stand in Maintaining Entente With France as Evi denced in Moroccan Affair. (Br the International News Service.) London, Aug. 12. While the majority of the English people have taken little or no part in the great constitutional fight which has been going on ever since the lords threw out Lloyd George's Budget two years ago, they do take an Interest in foreign affairs ana where ever you go now you are' bound to find yourself In the midst or a political ae bate on the crisis Europe has just passed through unscathed. ' Wonderful to say, nearly everybody approves of the action of the govern ment. Unionists and Socialists alike agree that under the circumstances Eng land had only one duty, that of main taining in the fullest and most loyal way to entente with France. Every body seems to realise that In the face of the peril to the peace of the world caused by Germany's policy, Russia, France and England must hold together. Therefore there will be no war, for Germany's allies will hesitate to go vnth her In an attack upon the triple entente and Germany will never do It alone. Germany made the mistake of Imagin ing that because the English liberal government and the liberal party are In intent and would like to be on better terms with her, they were ready to desert France. But no matter what party rules England, nqbody Is going to trust .Germany so far as to cut loose from aid allies and get black to the splendidly isolated ' position we were once so proud of, but the dangers of which are how clearly realized. If Ger many wanta war with a single power she will never get it in Europe, The belief la gaining more and more that Germany's sudden move in Moroc co was caused by her fear of France's declared Intentions of enlisting a black army to send against the Germans In case of another war, and it la confirmed by the ( Post of Berlin, which asserts that The French have for years la mented the Increased superiority of the German population and rate of increase over France. To make up for this information on the French side the directors of France's policy have adopted the plan of forming an Immense foroe of the warlike na tives from northern Africa, which, in case of a war hetween France and Ger many, will be brought to Europe to strengthen the French armies. It is necessary, accordingly, for Ger many to occupy a position at Agadlr and in southern Morocco which will en able her to stir up a Mohammedan in surrectlon In Algeria and prevent the African forces of France from being used against the German fatherland. The English press almost unanimous ly asserts that, looking at the matter without bias, a Franco-African army is a grave military contingency which must engage 'the attention of German statesmen and strategists. Over tlje whole of the enormous spaces of France's African empire the peace is kept or restored, the borders patrolled or extended, friendly clam encouraged and hostile sultans deposed or slam by companions and battalions of native troops of various creeds and races, all magnificent fighting material, and splendidly trained and handled by French officers. In the French nrlln.mnt lha nurai. slty bf developing the Immense resources of French African fighting material haa been openly advocated and ' accepted by leaders of all parties.

This property Is located Just east of the Swift holdings and Is less than a mile beyond the city limits of Port land. It Is of the same general char acter as the wlft tract and because of shipping facilities afforded both by rail and water, it is destined to play no small part in the future manufactur ing development of this section. She real development Of the factory section of the Peninsula dates from the completion of the North Bank railroad bridge across the Columbia river three years ago. Up to that time the im mense potential value of the Columbia river waterfront due north of Portland, as a manufacturing district, had not been appreciated. Since that time, how ever, the development in that section has been little short of marvelous, more than $4,000,000 having been Invested In the construction and equipment of fac tories and mills. Eleven of these fac tories have been completed and are now in operation and a number of others are under construction.
