movel ol Swan island and incident

quire, in the opinion of tho who have
mud a close study of the subject, a
total ot 1JS0 acres, In addition to the
- Island, if the publio la to get the full
benefit of th vast sura of money Ex
pended in bringing tha projected im
provement to eompletion. , .: ;vt
. Thla land would have fobe acquired
either by direct purchase) or coademna

Inc luded in this area would be all Of

beginning at the east line of tha O.-W.

tending west to thewst Una at
Bridgeport.- and south to tha Northers

acre, or ieta than one foorta tha asking
price, . The Merge parcel la assessed
at an acre, or about on twelfth
the figure recently quoted for the prop
erty by Mr. Merge. wv-M : "- LT'
At the prices quoted by some or the
ownera and tha figures at wbioh other
are known te bold their properties the
entire 135 acrea could not probably be
acquired for less than $.0M.M"- at pri
vate sale. Neither ia It likely that thia
figure could ba reduced if condemnation
, iinvMiliiiM wr instituted. ,
Tha largest Individual holding on the
west aide of tha : river, a considerable
porln of which would be required ia
the proposed 8wa Island project, be;
longs to J. W. Cook. .'i
,( ; What Assessxaea Shows.
Mr. Cook own 0 acres and about
25 acrea of thia ia between tha river
and the Korfhsrn Pacific tracks. It is
understood that ha value that portion
of hla property between the harbor Una
-and the Si." P. track at $3000 an acre,
but It ia believed that the entire piece
ran be bad new for f aaee an acre. The
entire 3 acrea la assessed thia year
at liao.ooe, or a. little mora than $60
an acre. .- , ' .
ast of and adjoining the Cook river
frontage is a S3 acre tract owned by
the City Land company, which la as
sessed thla year for $00 an acre. It la
understood that f the owners . of thla
r xfrty hold it at $500 an acre.:-' Tha
Kreba piece, containing; 41 and .frac
tion acres, was assessed at $1$.00. This
parcel la also reported to be on the
market at fSOOo an acre. The 0.-W. R,
Jb S. Co. owns two tracts aggre
soling aboat 80 acres, boCi of -which
are included in the reclamation feature
of tne Swan island project The total
assesament on tne O.-W. R. & N. com-ry-a
holdlnga is $201,004. Between
tarn railroad s two piece U a 59 acre
tract belonging; to the Reed Institute,
vrnrh la assessed thia year at 191,008.
' $5000 Aa Acre "Wanted.
Neither the O.-W. R- vN. company
nor the Reed Institute) has so far. aa
is known made a recent quotation on
its Guild 1 lake holdings, j .On the con
trary, it ia not believed that either
piece ia on the market at any price.
Other ownera of , tracts within the
proposed project are Tyler Woodward,
acres. asaeBsed at $17,000; W. K.
Smith Sr., 6 acre, assented at $6500,
and Charles H. and Henry Wllaon. 3
acres, assessed at $2200. From Informs
lion in tha hands of those who are in
terested in the proposed Swan island
reclamation project, it ia believed that
none of these holdings could be pur
chased for less than 16000 an acre.
The Bridgeport property, weat of and
adjoining the Cook piece, controlled by
M. U Holbrook and others, and con
talning 10 acres, has been offered, one
!ialf at $2000 as acre and one-half at
$4000 an acre. Thia property is ss
Kfsaed this year at $79,000, or, about
i9 an acre.
: Total AsMssad TalutlOB, 1800,000.
The entire 1350' acrea ia asaasaed this
year at about $100,000. which is s little
more than one-eighth of tha aggregate
price at which it is held by tha various
owners. .
. That these land are worth what tha
owner iold them at Is considered ab
surd by those who are familiar with
conditions on tha opposite sides of the
river from Swan island. During the
annual spring freahets In the Columbia
river nearly every foot of tha whole
1650 acres ia covered - with water , from
five to fifteen feet deep. In 1(94 tha
average dentil of water on theae landa
was more than SO feat and much of it
under 2 feet of water. Tha rec
lamation of any or all of the area in
cluded in the Swan island project by
private enterprlae is believed to ba out
of tha question, because of the urohlbi
, tiv cost That tha diatrlot can he re
claimed only by the expenditure of an
immense sum of money by some public
way, eucn aa tne city or Fort of Port
land, la the opinion generally held by
those who have studied conditions in
toe jower rortiana harbor.
