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.
The building will cost between $30,
000 and 440,000 and will be completed
and ready for occupancy by January 1.
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.

EAST SIDE FOLK TO
Farmers at Meeting Bitterly
Oppose Autos but Oregon
City Session Proves Finally
to Be Harmonious. ,'
Assurance that the people on the east
side of the Willamette between Portland
and Salem, will meet the governor half
way in his proposal for the building of
the Capital highway, resulted from a
series of mass meetings held last week
in east Willamette towns. 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

TO HAVE. DOUBLE DISPLAY WINDOW ARRANGEMENT;
English type building will contain 14
ket towns. Bettering these roads will
help all- of these towns and help Port
land, and that Is where the money
should be spent We have no objec
tion to funds being raised along the
trunk highways for improving the trunk
roads, or towards tax levies In road dis
tricts along these big highways, but we
do object to taxing the farmers and
settlers in the back country and then
spending their road money on automo
bile highways to the neglect of the
farm jroads."
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.

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. The negro's call followed a letter
to Mrs. Billings In which it was stated
that a man would apply to her for a
position, but that $500 and not the po
sition was wanted.

ENGLAND PROUD
OF HER ATTITUDE
Englishmen Approve. 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.

FACTORY SITES
Improvement Company Sub-
h divides Portion of 800 Acre
Tract and Will Establish
Manufacturing District.
.Believing that the time Is near at
hand when Portland, manufacturing
concerns will be compelled to seek
larger space for factory sites ami hav
ing faith in the general belief that the
ultimate manufacturing center of Port
land will be located on the Columbia
river, the Factory Sites Improvement
company has subdivided a portion of
Its 800 acres located on the peninsula
and extending! to the Columbia river,
and haa placed It on the market.
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.
Only recently the Schwarxschlld A
Sons Cq., one of the largest Independent
packing concerns in the United States,
purchased a site near the Union Meat
company's plant and has begun the con
struction of a modern packing estab

The owners of the Factory Sltea Im
provement company, among whom are
some of the best known capitalist In
the city, purchased this tract which was
formerly a portion of the Henry Holt
grleve donation land claim, something
like a year ago, with the view of estab
lishing a manufacturing district on the
property. Negotiations are now under
way by the officers of the company
looking to the building of a spur track
from the main line of the O.-W. R.
N. railway through the property to the
Columbia river.
