Pacific northwest lumber companies
owning large areas of cut-over JanJs
might learn how to dlfipose of theft
landa in a manner profitable to both
themselves and the general public from
the owners of similar lands In the great
' pine belt of Louisiana. Instead of hold
ing their logged-off lands at 120 to 130
an acre, the southern timber land bar
. ons sen tneir cut-over holdings at less
than half these prices on long tlmu,
with no Interest and loan the settler
6 per cent money to clear and develop
them.
The Great Southern Lumber company
of Bogalusa, La., recently opened a 20,
000 acre tract to colonisation and have
already sold 7000 acres in small tracts
to German and Scandinavian farmers. A
40 acre tract was sold for $400, and he
was loaned $1000 at 8 per cent to ba
used In Improving the place, and was
I given five years to pay It back. At the
expiration of the five years the farmer
' begins to pay for his land and is given
five years to complete the payments.
During the lift of the loan he is not
, required to pay Interest .on the pur
chase price of the land.
, These lands are said to be especially
valuable for dairying and stockraising.
1 Many thousand acres have been sold in
I large tracts to stock raisers. The cost
of clearing this land Is said to average
about $25 an acre.
The point Is that the southern owner
of logged-off land realizes that in order
to make his land available for agricul
tural and stockralsing purposes it must
be sold at a low price and the purchaser
must be assisted in his efforts to bring
it into a productive state. It is known
that very little progress has been made
In settling the logged-off lands of Ore
gon, nor will much be accomplished in
this regard until some way is found to
assist the settler with a loan to be used
In clearing and developing his property.

BUILDERS AND FINISHERS'
DIRECTORY
On Sheridan's burned street has risen
a row of substantial mercantile build
inas that would do credit to a town
j several times larger than the prosperous
i littlo Yamhill city. It will be recalled
that Sheridan's business district was
almost totally destroyed by fire several
months ago. The entire burned district
has been rebuilt and is again occupied
for the most part by the firms that lost
so heavily by the conflagration. All of
the new buildings are substantial, some
of them being of durable construction.
Sheridan, like most cities that exper
ience severe fires In their business sec
tions, finds that it really profited by the
burn in that the flimsy structures of its
early growth are replaced by a splendid
class of buildings.

The ncconipanypj, views give an
Idea of the progress being made by
Multnomah county In the construction
of its portion of the Columbia River
highway and demonstrate that road
making is a science In itself.
The views represent a section in the
road before and after the grade is
made Just west of Gordon Falls.
One of the pictures was taken after
tho ground had been cleared and the
brush burned. The lines indicate where
the rock was to be cut for the grade and
where a wall was to be built.
Another picture represents the same
spot after the road,. was graded, the
rock cut and the wall built. The rocks
used In bulTding the wall were taken
from the steep slope Just above .. the
grade where they were a menace to
those who might use the road. They
now serve to add strength and beauty
to the great highway. In a few years
the wall will be covered with mosses
and flowers, giving additional charm.
In the group is also shown a scene on
the 'famous Maryhill roads built by
Samuel Hill, and it is reproduced to in
dicate how the Columbia River highway
will look when finished with a hard
surface The road will be as smooth
and even as the Maryhill road and will
have the same graceful long curves and
wall effect.
The extension of Fourth street from
Hooker, where It terminates at present,
along the Southern Pacific right-of-way,
to tho city boundary on the south,
thereby affording one of the finest
drives in and about Portland, and the
Installation of arch lights at the street
intersections from Burnslde to Jeffer
son, duplicating the celebrated sjlght
system of Fllmore street, San Fran
cisco, are among the projected Improve
ments for that thoroughfare tentatively
agreed upon at a meeting of Fourth
street property owners beld Friday
night. The meeting was largely attend
ed and resulted In the organization of
the Fourth Street Improvement associa
tion, with David 8. Stearns, president,
and Henry Teal, secretary.
It was the sense of the meeting that
Fourth street should Immediately have
a lighting system, but that something
different from the cluster lights in gen
eral use throughout the city should be
devised. The overhead arch lights at
street intersections similar to the man
ner of lighting Fillmore street, one of
San Francisco's main thoroughfares,
met with the unanimous approval of
thfkje present, and President Stearns
was authorized to get figures from the
various lighting companies as to the
cost of Installing such a system.
The proposition to extend - Fourth
street four miles to the southern limits
of the city met with the approval of not
only the owners of property along that
thoroughfare, but the suggested Im
provement is being taken up generally
by the entire south end of the city.
It is understood moreover that Southern
Pacific officials will fall In line with
the plan and that no objection will be
offered to the extended street follow
ing the lines of the west side right-of-way
from Hooker street as far south
as practicable.
If extended as proposed. Fourth street
will intersect Slavin road, Boones feerry
and Taylor's ferry roads, and will be
come the main throughfare from the
city to Rlverview thoroughfare. It will
also become a beatutlful hill or upper
driveway for Fulton Park, Southern
Portland, Capitol Hill, Carson Heights,
and several other residence subdivisions
in the south end.
The association voted to cooperate
with the city commissions in making
more presentable the Immediate vicin
ity of the approaches to the Broadway
and steel bridges. President Stearns
was authorized to name an executive
committee of five members who will
cooperate with himself and Secretary
Teal in getting the projected improve
ments of Fourth street under way.
