A regular expense of $$4,000 per an
num la one of the many things that run
Into big figures In connection with. the
washing down of Goldsmith's Hill and
constructing Westover Terraces. That
Is the sum paid by the Lewis-Wiley
Hydraulic company to the Portland
General Electric company, for elec
tric power to pump the water from
Guild's lske 400 feet uphill with enough
force behind it to move the hill. To
watch those great hydraullo giants
throw their 4 H -Inch .stream of water
against the high bank'lt looks as though
there is power to spare.
To give an Idea of what force there
Is, while this same company .was wash
ing down the hills In Seattle a man in
charge of the giant slipped and fell In
front of the stream, and In less time
than It takes to tell he was hurled
against the bank SO feet sway. When
rescued he was unconscious and had
sustained Internal injuries and several

well used when it is considered that
It lifts over 226,000,000 gallons of water

Opening of New Year Surpris
ingly Good; Deal on East
Side Still Remains Mystery;
May Be Terminal. iiXJ
For the opening Week In a new year
the activity in the Portland realty mar
ket has been surprisingly good, although
there have been no deals , of a large.,
size recorded. But there has been a host V
of smaller deals and the trend of the ,
market Is upward.'
The uncertainty of who Is behind the
activity of the last several days la
east side property, between the river and
Union avenue and . south of Morrison
street, has added piquancy to a healthy
market Important developments are '. .
expected to follow. The rumor most ";
persistent and probably most generally
believed is that the Hill railroad inter
ests are the source of the-$2.00.0 30 or
more that have .been expended for prop
erty in that district recently.
It is the general opinion that ths Bill .
Interests are seeking terminal facilities
on the east aide. In this connection
credence is, given to the rumor that
the Hill Interests re also negotiating.
for the O..W. P. eleotrlo line and its r
terminals south of. Hawthorns avenue.
Added to this rumor is another that the .. ..'
Hills are seeking possession of the en
tire holdings of ths Portland Railway, v
Light A Power company in this city,
That .big transsctlons are under way
Is known. This lends strength to tMv
tone of the realty market generally.1 and ,
has particularly directed the attention ,
of investors to the importance of close-"'
in east side property. It la believed by '
some of the best posted realty dealers
In the city that this year will, witness
mAfA tftfHr1rs in Inslila neMiasf ' am :
both sides of the river, than has been
seen during any. former year.','
This belief, they say, is based on the
lmnetnit riven trf hn-rlnr Kviwha
is believed to be' the. Hill railroad c-
tlvlty tind several Important west side
deals that are being negotistsd. In ad-
ditlon to this the number of largebust- :
ness blocks which sre planned for this -year,
they say, will focus attention of
