' ; agriculturist of the Oregon-Washington
llallroad & Navigation company de
' lighted the members of the Portlund
. liealty board with the address he made
,i0 them at their rcgulur weekly lunch
eon on Friday. He told a number of
Stories and cracked a good many Jokes
at the expense of real estate men which
they enjoyed. When he made some
'pretty frank statements concerning the
J methods of certain real estate men. he
' Said his present audience was excepted.
For the most part, he said, the people
".he was talking about had gone out of
bi'siness because they finally found
themselves without business. Mr.
Bmlth was Introduced to the audience
by William McMurray, general paswen-
ger agent of the same company. The
'.Knickerbocker Male quartet rendered
a number of selections which brought
several demands for encores.
- Borne of the most appreciated sen-
twees from Mr. Smith's address in-
-cluded the following:
- "There 'is need of more people in
the Pacific Northwest who want to
Work for a living instead of trading
'for it."
"We boast loudly of our markets, our
transportation and our agricultural op
' 'Portunitles but we haven't 'been using
them. We have got to use them before
we shall get anywhere."
' : "For heaven's sake be honest with
yourself and be honest with the other
-fellow. If you don't you'll finally be
out of business attd the roan will be out
of money."
"Do not sell a man more land than
he can use. Do not persuade a man to

him none to work with."
; '- "Don't discount the future too heav
ily. Do business on conditions and

"Get the country back to a gold

"Cut out the hot air; do not spend
too much money on advertising; do not
value the location too high."
"If pork can be Bhipped from the
' Orande Ronde valley for half a cent a
pound, how can land for raising hogs
near Portland be worth 600 times as
much as the land In the Grande Konde
valley?"
, ' "Get the land values where a man
can use them at a profit. In the 16

asked for it."
"Be Just as honest with the sucker

more definite to the report now than
there has been for some months past.
There have been negotiations looking
to the Improvement of the site but no

PROPOSED COLUMBIA SLOUGH SEWAGE AND SHIP CANAL
SV
Outline drawing of project which is planned to famish the entire Peninsula district with an adequate gravity drainage system for all the
territory lying between the Willamette and Columbia rivers besides providing a ship canal which would permit of the development of
a new industrial district available both to deep water and rail transportation.
By J. B. Laber.
When some five or six years ago the
necessity of providing an adequate
sewer and drainage system for that
portion of the peninsula, whose na
tural watershed is to the north, and
into the Columbia slough, developed,
the sulSJect was made the chief topic
of discussion by property owners at
the numerous public meetings held by
the civic organizations of that portion
of the city.
These discussions crystalized a
unanimity of opinion for the necessity
of Buch a drainage system, but a
great diversity of opinion as to what
kind of system would more nearly
meet the economic question of cost as
well as provide the best main con
ductor of sufficient capacity to meet
all the requirements that the future?
developments of the city in a north
erly and easterly direction would im
pose. As a result of this agitation and
discussion requests crowded In upon
the city council (old regime) for in
vestigation and reports on the several
plans advocated.
All Tube Systems Favored.
The then city engineer, Thomas
Hurlburt, after extensive investigation
made report favoring all conduit
or tube systems. He proposed to
build a tube or main trunk sewer of
sufficient sire and capacity to carry
the estimated sewage and surface
drainage of the territory now within
the city limits.
The cost of this main trunk, ewer
or conduit was estimated at about
Z. 000, 000. If such a tube were built
on a gravity plan only, that ls so that
the tube would be at an elevation suf
ficiently high at its eastern end to
carry the contents by gravity all the
way. This plan, however, was re
jected because it necessitated leaving
an extensive territory north of such
a main trunk lin and yet within the
city limits, without any provisions for
drainage.
This led to the consideration of t
main trunk sewer gravity system at
a lower level, one which would drain
almost all of the territory In question.
But here was encountered a serious
obstacle in the necessity for a sewage
pumping station. It was necessary to
lift the sewage flow to a higher level
to enable It to continue on Its way
to the Willamette river.
This lower level gravity system
not only involved a greater cost of
construction, but also added a serious
factor of cost for the maintenance and
operation of a sewage pumping plant,
a fixed charge to be met by taxation
either by the city or by assessments
of the sewer district directly bene
fitted (or perhaps damaged), more
likely the latter.
The objectionable features of the
second plan barred It from further
consideration, but did not bar the con
Twenty-fourth stret, to cost $4000.
The Oregon Home Builders are putting
up a $4500 residence, two stories, at
105 Laurelhurst avenue. Mary A. Ma
honey will erect a two and one half
story frame residence to cost $8000, at
1116 East Burnslde street. Charles M.
Wagner ls putting up a one and one
half story frame residence at 490 East
Fiftieth street north, which will cost
$2500. Mrs. Sophia Johnson Is having
built a one and one half story frame
residence at 787 Overlook boulevard,
which will cost $2600. C. Spies ls
erecting a frame house of two stories
at 71 Russell street. A. Amreln Is
erecting, at 623 Charlton street, a one
story residence to cost $1200.
Several Jarfe Building- Permits
Taken Out During Week The North
west Steel company has taken out a
permit, on a basis of $30,000, to erect
shops and works at their plant at the
foot of Sheridan street The Federal
Telegraph company Is erecting a new
power house on Ninety-second street,
between Seventy-first and Seventy-
fourth avenue, to cost $2100.
TerwUUger School Bids Opened.
Five bids submitted to the school
board for the construction of the one
story Terwllliger school building were
opened on Thursday. The lowest offer
was from Parker & Banfield of $15.
980. Seven bids were also opened for
the improvement of the Shattuck

sideration of a plan for the construc
tion of a number of rtubes straight
across the low lands of the Peninsula,
that would discharge the sewage Into
the Columbia River direct. The enor
mous cost of construction Involved in
carrying tubes across the low land?
north of the city limits at sufficient
elevation to maintain a gravity dis
charge of sewage forced the rejection
of this plan also. s .-" ;
Utilize Columbia Slough.
The rejection of the plans hereto
fore outlined eventually led to the
consideration of a plan to utilize the
Columbia slough as a conveyor of the
sewage and drainage of this area.
This plan necessarily involved the
raising or dykfhg of the banks of this
stream to a height that would prevent
an overflow of sewage upon the adja
cent low lands.
It was at once seen that this pjan
combined a number of advantageous
features. In the first place the area
both north and south of the slough
could be drained. It was found also
that the cost of dyking would be very
much less, possibly not one half the
cost of a main trunk sewer parallel
ing the slough. This dyking process
would at the same time widen and
deepen this waterway, which is re
ported to have an average depth of
about eight feet at mean low water
and an average width of 150 feet, and
some years ago it was declared to be
a navigable stream by the United
States engineers' department.
The presentation of this plan im
mediately struck a responsive chord
with the taxpayers. They realized
at once that the carrrylng out of this
plan would be the-best solution of
their sewer and drainage problem. It
was shown that this stream capacity
would meet not only the present but
all future demands made upon It, no
matter how far the city's boundary
may be extended in the generations to
come.
Cost Burden Equalised.
Furthermore, the cost of the project
could be equitably distributed among
all the property owners within this
drainage area, without regard to
the corporate limits of the city of
Portland, thus adding something like
30,000 acres to contribute toward de
fraying the cost of the project.
Since this project also embodies the
development of a commercial high
way, it can reasonably be expected
that the United States government,
which in the past has encouraged such
local enterprise;, will In all probabil
ity cooperate by making appropria
tions equal to the proposed local in
vestments in the enterprise. Assur
ances of support in this direction have
been received repeatedly.

TOM INGElRSOLL, REALTOR
Much is expected of Tom Ingersoll,
the secretary of the National Asso
ciation of Real Estate exchanges.
He is going to be In Portland from
July 11 until after the Interstate
Realty Men's convention to be held
in Portland July 17, 18, 19. He is
coming here in advance of the meet
ing to put the finishing touches on
the preparations for the convention.
He and President F. E. Taylor and
the Falstaffian secretary, Paul Cow
gill, are going to round up every real
estate man In Portland, tell him what
ls expected of him during the con
vention and secure their solemn prom
ise that they will not let any oppor
tuity pass to give the visiting dele
gates to the convention a good time.
Those who have seen and come In
contact with Tom Ingersoll when he
is in action say he is a whirlwind.
He is not very big physically, but he
is a mountain of enthusiasm. He is
there with a way of doing things
peculiarly his own.
In 16 minutes from the time he
reaches Portland, If given half a
show, it ls declared, he will know
eery real estate man by his first
name, and will have him working for
the convention, and make him think
he ls the only one responsible for
its success.
He ls not, however, all Jollier. He

ance of the business of the real es

Bungalow Type School for Mood
Lawrence & Holford have

new school building to be erected for

The cost is estimated at $8000. The

plans heretofore outlined, stands out
the fact this drainage and ship canal
project would at the same time be
come an extensive reclamation project.
The "dykes' along the shores of the
canal would protect the low lands
from inundation, this making some
20,000 acres of land, as fertile as the
far famed Nile river bottoms, avail
able for intensive agriculture at the
very door of Oregon's metropolis.
Provide An Industrial Area.
Since one railroad already parallel?
this proposed canal and two others
cross these lands it requires no great
stretch of imagination to discern that
this project also embodies the solution
of a serious economical problem. In
providing suitable sites with both
rail, river and ocean transportation
cheaply-
Indeed, some of the property owner
are offering to donate sites under
proper conditions to meritorious man
ufacturing enterprises. This ' public
splrltedness, plus the large area of
suitable land for manufacturing sites,
will preclude the possibility of highly
speculative land values for a genera
tion or more to come. This feature
of the project widens its scope of In
terest to the general public, not only
of the city of Portland but also of
Oregon and southern Washington
Home Manufacture Heeded.
The recent decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission over railroad
competitive rates with water trans
portation has forced all those having
the future of Portland's and Oregon s
welfare at heart, to the inevitable
conclusion that the solution of the
transportation problem lies in home
manufacture. The utilization of our
raw materials, the creating of ur raw
materials, the creating of our own
means of transportation by building
ships and river steamers that will
penetrate the farther accessible in
terior points of production and ths
establishing of a payroll commensu
rate with the size of our population
are important factors. We woufd thus
create a degree of self reliance and
a field of action for the energy of
brain and brawn of our people.
Problem Seats With Residents.
Needless to say, the present resi
dence section within this drainage
area, the people who will have to fur
nish the initial impetus In this grreat
project, so far reaching in its bene
ficial results, will be the first most
direct and permanent beneficiaries for
this meritorious enterprise.
There remains but ode more point

faince there Is no organization or
municipality of sufficient Jurisdic
tional power to apply this burden
equitably, the only alternative ls the
creation of such a municipality for
this special purpose.
Create Beware District.
Hence it is proposed to secure the
passage of a law by the next legisla
ture authorizing the creation of such
a municipality, to be known as s
drainage and reclamation' district, and
having power to carry out substan
tially the plans above mentioned. Th(j
district would, among the powers con
ferrcd, have a right to acquire by pur
chase on condemnation lands for
rights of way for construction of shop
and drainage canals, turning basins,
docks or landings and dykes, wher
ever necessary. It must also assess
the benefits and damages along such
canal front to prevent unreasonable
demands of property holders of whom
rights of way are required. t
The district would also need the
right to bond --itself for the expendi
ture necessary to carry out the plan.
This would enable the taxpayers to
spread over a period of SO to 40 years
a cost now collected within a much
shorter period. In other words, it
would require the future to curry a
part of the burden, yet permitting the
present lot owners to enjoy within
their own lifetime some of the fruits
of the savings represented by their
Investments in Portland lots and
acreage. It ls estimated that about
44,000 lots and about 35,000 acres of
land comprise the area of the pro
posed district, having a taxable value
of approximately J50.000.000. This
would make the individual burden
inf inltesinial compared with the pay
ments that would he required under a
plan of immediate and direct access
ment of the present system.
Tax Burden Small.
It is properly assumed that the
government will, as in the past, co
operate doilar for dollar In local ex
penditures for improvements of navi
gable streams. Under this plan there
should be no need at any time of hav
ing outstanding more than $600,000 of
bonds. Sl per cent Interest on these
would be $36,000 a year. The over
head expense should be less than $14,
000 a year. This would require a
total levy Of 1 mill a year. The man

value of $1000, on a basis of assess
ment of $350 for taxation of $350
would be taxed 35 cents a year for
this tremendous and highly essential
improvement.

two weeks ago are being rapidly made.
Judge Bernard Daly, through the Bank
of Iakevlew, has agreed to finance the
operations. The loss was placed at
$76,000. The new buildings are ex
pected to surpass In every way the
type of the burned (structures. In this
way it is believed the fire will turn
out a good thing for the town even If
the loss on the part of certain Indi
viduals was severe. As the burned
district is. within the fire limits noth
ing but brick, stone or semi-fireproof
construction may be used.
Baker Favors Local Contractors.
The contract for the erection of the
Baker high school, to cost $125,003,
has been let to G. H. Waele of that
city. It i reported that although Par
ker & Banfield of this city were the
lowest bidders on first opening the
offers, the local contractors wore al
lowed to 'refigure their propositions.
Some changes were made which per
mitted them to handle the contract.
This was much to the satisfaction of
local prld?, it is declared.
