WOULD HAVE CITY
BUY SLOUGH LANDS
FOR FACTORYSITES
Dredgirig of Columbia Slough
and Construction of Trunk
Sewer Also Involved in Project.
MAY GO ON JUNE BALLOT
Total Expenditure of $3,000,000
Involved; Promoters Declare
Location Ideal for Factories.
Acquisition by the city of Portland of
2000 acres of factory Kites on the lower
Columbia slough and construction of a
trunk sewer giving: service to the Penin
sula district are the salient features of
the blgr development project fathered by
Commissioner John M. Mann and being
promoted by H. H. Ward and R. L. Yoke.
The project embrace dredging Colum
bia slough to a point Jnt above Union
avenue, and the entire length of Mc
Klide's slough to a depth of 20 feet and
a width of 200 feet at the bottom and 300
feet at the top. A channel of equal di
mensions would be cut from the head of
McBrlde's slough to the Columbia river
just above Sand island. The dirt re
moved in excavating this channel would
be used in filling adjacent land to a
height above the high water mark of the
Columbia river. The land thus filled is
to be used for industrial purposes, ac
cording to plans of the promoters.
KMBRACEM 1S,W ACRES
, The trunk sewer draining the north
' slope of the Peninsula residence district
would empty into the Columbia slough
and the 'sewage be carried by the current
to the Willamette river. Representatives
of the city engineer's office declare that
there will at all times be sufficient cur
' rent in the chartnel for this purpose, and
that owners of approximately 45,000
home sites and a considerable business
district will be directly benefited by the
new sewer system.
There are about 12,000 acres embraced
In the project, much of this being high
land suitable for residence purposes. It
v is proposed by the promotors that the
city purchase 3000 acres lying adjacent to
the new channel at an estimated cost of
1200 per acre. Dredging and diking
would cost approximately 11,500,000, and
construction of terminals about 1900.000
making a total expenditure of $3,000,000.
WOULD PAY ITS WAY
According to Mr. Ward this iand
could be leased as factory sites at 6
per cent per annum on a valuation of
15000 per acre. If the whole 3000 acres
were leased at this rate rentals would
pay interest and principal on the bonded
indebtedness of the project in 20 years
,i and thereafter the lands would become
a source of revenue to the city, accord
ing1 to Mr. Ward.
Nearly all of the 12,000 acres in the
project is in private ownership, being
held at from $50 to $100 per acre. The
tract lies adjacent to the St. Johns ter
minal and is easily accessible to the
municipal elevators. "Slips and turning
basins would be constructed for con-,
.venience of shipping and rail terminals
connected with the St. Johns terminal.
With the location of factories on the
filled lands the higher ground would
naturally develop into a highly desirable
residence ' district for working men, ac
cording to the promoters. This higher
.ground la in easy access to the proposed
factor sites and workmen would be
saved long car rideato' and from .their
employment. i Prevailing : winds would
carry smoke and odors from the' Indus
trial district away from the "proposed
homes! tea, say the promoters, ar . the
post of the sites would be held at a
moderate price,, . ;
PBOJECT INSPECTED
Tuesday afternoon a party of inter-
efcted citizens accompanied Mr. . Ward
and Commissioner Mann on a trip over
the project and listened to an explana
tion of the feasibility of the scheme. The
party consisted of Captain Jacob Speier,
harbormaster; O. A. Krats. of the city
engineer's office ; Paul Murphy, presi
dent of the Portland Realty board;; H.
H. Ward and R. L. Yoke, promoters of
the enterprise; Harry Anderson. K. J
Stack and C. M. Rynerson, representing
organized labor; John M. Mann, city
commissioner ; IX C. Lewis, Cos A. Me
Kenna, O. L. Price and representatives
of the press. The party were guests of
Captain Mitchell of the Steamer Dix.
It is proposed to present the develop
ment project to the people at the election
June 3. Immediate action is necessary.
say the promoters, if Portland hopes to
stand on an equal footing with Seattle.

an industrial center. These cities already
have acquired factory sites and are of
fering them on favorable terms to- new
industries. -
The Portland ..Realty board has In

discuss its merits before-that organiza
tion at the regular meeting- Friday noon
in the Crystal room of the Benson hotel.

TOVERI EDITOR AND
PUBLISHER RECEIVE
2-YEARr SENTENCES
Finnish Socialists of Astoria Will
Go to Federal Prisonj
Appeal.
A. J. Par tan, business manager of the
Toveri, Astoria Finnish daily newspaper,
and W. X. Reivo. its editor, Tuesday aft
ernoon were sentenced by United States
District Judge Wolverton to serve two
years in the federal prison on McNeils
island for violation of the espionage act.
A verdict of guilty was returned Mon
day by the jury, which had been in
structed by Judge Wolverton to return
a verdict of not guilty in the cases of
Jacob Kuivala and Franx Kiemt. direc
tors of the Teverl. Judge Wolverton
stated that evidence showed that while
Kuivala and N'iemi were in accord with
the paper's policy, they were mere fig
ureheads. Nleml is a fisherman and
Kuivala is a shipyard worker.
All four defendants were named in
the same indictment, which was brought
by Barnett H. Goldstein, f irat assistant
United States attorney, It charged
them with having sold scurrilous books
during the war and with having adver
tised their sale in the paper.
Mr. Goldstein said the prosecution was
a victory over a small group of Finns,
who, he said, are attempting to turn
the government over to suit their Rni.
shevik taste.
Immediately after the vertHot ,a
read Tom Mannix, attorney for the de
fendants, filed a motion for a new trial.
A stay of execution of 60 days was
granted by Judge Wolverton aftnr-h
overruled the motion. i
PLEDGES IN LOAN
DRIVE NOT WHOLLY
TOTALED OP YET
Difficulty Is Encountered in
Collecting Some of Pledges
Made in Theatres.
EXPENSES WERE VERY LIGHT
Expenditures of Victory Hut $37,
and Expenses of Other Sales
Agencies Were Also Small.
Masses of pledges are still gathered be
fore the corps of accountants which is
upending full time in an effort to derive
an exact statement of Oregon's oversub
scription in the loan, and new pledges
are daily being added to those received
before the active drive, closed Saturday
night
Because of the many details of the
work, and especially because of the fact
that those who pledged the purchase of
tonds are slow in making good on their
pledges, the-work of the accountants is
complicated. But the total of the over
bubscription, according to Willis Clarke,
secretary of the city campaign forces, is
rapidly mounting. :
Difficulty has been found in collecting:
some of the pledges made in theatre
meetings during the campaign, and loan
officials urge that those who pledged
cooperation sun luriner Dy liquidating
on their pledges. Inasmuch; as they have
ail been counted in the. totals.
Although Victory hut took in hundreds
of thousands of dollars in the sale of
bonds, reports of expenses for that
agency during the entire life of the drive
show the expenditure of only about 137.
Expenses for other' sales agencies are
correspondingly -low. : - 'J ,
New subscriptions on Tuesday totaled
approximately 170,000. it is estimated.
The bulk of this sum is -in the pledge of
$40,000 by the United States Steel Prod
ucts company.- At -Victory hut sales for
the day are estimated at $10,000, while
banks did a fair business in bond sales,
notwithstanding the ' fact that the spec
tacular features of the drive were lack
ing. National concerns operating in
Oregon continue to send in their share
of the Oregon quota, and one of the most
recent of these is $1000 from the Na
tional Biscuit Company, reported by the
local sales agent, C W. Leebrick. '
WEST OTEE BY MILLIQJf
The foreign corporations bureau of the
campaign will be one of the last to com
plete a definite report because of the de
lays eastern firms' are caused in divid
ing their subscriptions throughput their
trade fields.
Officials still maintain : the estimate
that Oregon will be approximately $1,
0(i0, 000 oversubscribed in the final : ac
counting. However, several districts in
the state have not yet made up their full
quotas, it is reported. At Gresham, for
instance, there has been ' a lull in the
drive because of the announcement that
Portland was over the top. thus putting
Multnomah county on .the good side of
the ledger. The Gresham loan workers
are' striving loyally to keep up local
interest until the quota there is complete
and the district has done its part.
