FIVE FINE-CONCRETE
PROSPERITY AT LENTS
Two Just Completed and Three
Will Be Erected in Near Future.-
Woman Stricken,
Lents, Dec 13. With two new concrete
buildings occupied this week and plans
made for the erection of three more In
the immediate future and street im
provements completed yesterday, Lents
has assumed a general air of prosperity
second to no outlying section of the
city. The frame building at the north
east corner of Main street and the car
line 4s being demolished and Mrs. R. E.
Yeager will erect a two story concrete
structure on the site at once. The Mult
nomah State bank will move to the new
building. There will be three store
rooms on the car line side and a new
moving picture theatre will occupy a
portion of the building.
John and Arnold Eggiman will erect
a two story concrete building for them
selves on property 30 by 80 feet on the
west side of Main street between the
carline and Foster road.
A two story modern reinforced con
crete building will replace C. E. Sager's
grocery building, 'near Main street and
Foster road, on property 65 by 76 feet.
In addition to full basement, there will
be two store rooms on the first fjoor
4nd 14 offices on the second floor.
The concrete Lent & Campbell build
ing on the east side of Main street, be
tween the carline and Foster road, com
pleted this week, Is now occupied by a
drug store with a floor space of 40 by
60 feet. The formal opening will occur
tonight with Ward's orchestra in at
tendance. Dr. McSloy will occupy the
second floor.
Almost directly across the street the
two story concrete building erected by
Duke brothers has been completed and
one-half of it will be occupied today by
their meat market. The other half of
the building, also with a floor space of
25 by 70 feet. Is now occupied by a
wholesale and retail hardware company.
Work was completed Thursday on the
building of five cesspools at prominent
locations to drain off surface water,
and the removal of superfluous surface
mud which has been going on all week
has left Lents streets hard and dry.
SUCCESSFUL DRIVE BUT
BAD FOR THE RABBITS
Pendleton, Or., Dec. 13. A successful
rabbit drive was conducted in this
bounty yesterday near Holdman by tho
larmers of that city, assisted by more
than 100 citizens of Pendleton. Nearly
1000 rabbits fell beneath the clubs of
the drivers, and 300, weighing 1600
pounds, were shipped by express last
evening to the Portland Commons, the
American Express company carrying the
shipment without charge.
The drive was one of the most suc
cessful held in the county for several
yeai's. Fully 250 people responded to
the call of the Holdman farmers, and
were organised Into two divisions under
captains. Deploying in different direc
tions, they drove though two miles of
sagebrush toward a corral. Wire wings
ran out a half mile on each side of the
corral, and once the animals passed the
ends of the wings all retreat was cut
off, as the drivers formed a solid
phalanx behind. Occasionally one of
the nimble looted animals would dodge
past in spite of the many clubs aimed
at it. Toward the end, probably 100
escaped at the upper side.
Guns wera barred to prevent acci
dents. The count made at the conclu
sion of the drive showed 725 carcasses,
but these did not take in those carried
off by farmers and those killed dur
ing the course ot the drive. A thousand
is a fair estimate of the kill.
Another drive will be held next Fri
day, but the wings will be thrown out
in another direction, and the driving
will be done from the Hermiston and
Stanfleld sides.

'Spoll to Tbr Journnl.)
Eugene. Or., Dec. 13. Two carloads
of construction material are in Eugene
and preparations are being made by the
Western Union Telegraph company and
the Southern Pacific company to begin
construction of a telegraph line be
tween Eugene and Marshfleld along the
new Willamette Pacific railway. Ma
terials are being gathered now in order
that the work may proceed as early in
the spring as possible. The line will
carry four telegraph circuits, more than
is needed, but the company is antici
pating a rapid growth in the territory
along the coast after the railroad Is
placed in operation.
Although the line Is being construct
ed Jointly by the railroad and telegraph
companies, arrangements are bein
made whereby the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company will probably util
ize the telegraph poles for a line from
Eugene to the coast.
At present there is no reliable wire
connection between Eugene and Flor

phone line that gives service part of the
time, the wires being strung on flimsy

any other project.

hold of another project.

unit, to reclaim which he estimates
