MEDICAL BUILDING
Second Unit of University of
Oregon Medical School to Be
Erected on Marquam Hill.
Plans prepared by Lawrence & Hot
ford and Morris H. Whitehouse for the
new medical school building of the Uni
versity of Oregon were accepted last
week by the building committee of the
board of regents of the university and
bids for construction work will be called
for at ap early date. The building win
occupy a site adjoining the first unit of
the medical school, which was completed
boat a year ago. It will be of rein
forced concrete construction with brick
ana terra cotta exterior finish and will
cost approximately 9250,000.
The new building win house the ad
ministration offices, library, laboratories
lor research and class work and an ex
tension of the clinical departments.
Architecturally the structure will con
form with the Initial unit of the medi
cal school. It will be four stories in
height with basement and will be 68x150
feet In dimensions.
Attendance at the University of Ore
gon medical school for next year Witt
total 170, which Is far In excess of any
previous year. Limited space and equip
ment has necessitated holding entering
classes down to 60 members and the
number of applicants is considerably
greater than this maxHbum. Three years
previous training in the university is re
quired of students entering the medical
School, this minimum applying to stu
dents making application to the begin
ning class of 1322 and succeeding classes.
The general education board of the
Rockefeller foundation recently appro
priated $162,000 for the University of
Oregon medical school and the state leg
islature apportioned $113,000. These
funds will be used for equipment and
maintenance as well as for building pur
poses. Recognition of the medical school
by the general education board is ac
cepted as a reflection of the high stand
ard of the school and will strengthen the
prestige of the institution throughout
the country.
The two buildings of the university
medical school and the new county hos
pital form an Imposing group and make
Marauam hill one of the show places of
the city. Additional structures for
school and hospital purposes are called
for in the plans outlined by promoters
of the educational center.
Local Firm Starts
New Industry That
Employs Many Hands
New equipment and additional space
were provided last week for an apron
factory recently established by H. J.
Ditter, president and manager of Shan
nhaa's. Ditter stated that he was man
ager, of an apron department in a de
partment store several years ago and
after coming to Portland studied out a
plan for manufacturing this popular gar
ment for the local market.
Aprons manufactured by the firm are
hand embroidered in bright colors and
sales have increased beyond the capacity
of a. staff of experienced women work
ers. Setting aside Thursday of each
week as demonstration day, Ditter pro
moted the distribution of his sales to
such an extent that he is now planning
on a separate factory establishment for
the manufacture of his aprons.

CITY HOLDS TWO
VALUABLE PIECES
Of PROPERTY IDLE
Palatine Hill Tract of 21.24 Acres
and Broadway Reservoir Site
Are Nonproductive.
Portland has a new objective the 1925
exposition toward which all interests
for the advancement of the city aad Its
environs will direct their energies for
the ensuing four years. This means a
general expansion of the city develop
ment plans, both in residential and
business construction, aad it brings forth
the question as to bow far the city gov
ernment is justified in the withholding
of parcels of real property from actual
development and retaining them as non
taxable and non-productive.
At least two striking examples of such
conditions do exist la Portland at the
present Unas and have existed for a num
ber of years past. Is the city setting
the proper example in thus withholding
those properties from development? The
question is one that merits serious con
sideration. One Instance is of property that Is
outside the city limits but desirable for
residential development that land
known as the Palatine 1911 Reservoir
tract and which has laid unused for
many years.
RESERVOIR TRACT
This is a tract of 21.14 acres adjacent
to Rivera, acquired by the city in 1884.
That same year construction of a pump
ing station was begun and the station
was used for the purpose , of pumping
water directly' from the Willamette river
until January . 1895. when it was shut
down and water was supplied through
the mains from Bull Run head works.
The property Is invoiced by the Port
land water bureau at a valuation of $60.
000, and the improvements thereon are
valued at J 10. 000. these including the
pumping station and auxiliary struc
tures. City Commissioner John M. Mann, In
charge of public utilities, states that
eventually the Palatine Hill property
will be sold and the proceeds therefor
will be turned into the fund for further
development of the water system of Port
land. He says be believes the time la
not yet ripe for a sale to the best ad
vantage and that an offer of only 11000
per acre has been made for the land, al
though other properties la the immedi
ate vicinity have been held at 95000 an
acre.
KKAX-nr TRACT IDLE
In the other Instance the city has
maintained to idleness for years a valu
able block of city property within a com
paratively short distance from the heart
of the business district. This is the old
reeervpir bounded by Broadway, Sixth,
Lincoln and Grant streets.
At both the Broadway and Lincoln res
ervoir and Palatine Hill the pumping
stations used years ago are kept Intact
and are in condition so that they could
be started Into operation within a few
hours' time. This has been done as a
safeguard should any accident happen
to the mains carrying water from Bull
Run to Portland. In such a situation
the pumps would be started and river
water would be forced into the mains.

immediately. Plans call for a theatre
with seating capacity for 50 people aad
for the installation of a tote model pipe-organ.
BriLDING NEARLY FDflSHED
I building under construction by J. R.
Cartwrlght is neartog completion. F. F.
Brooks and Obl burn & Son, two of the
leading merchant firms, will occupy por
tions of the ground floor and the balance
Will be used by the postofflce. Removal
of the postofflce to its new quarter will
await the arrival of new Interior, futures.
To commenorate the one hundred
years of peace that have existed between
America and Great Britain an arch has
been erected near Blaine on the bound
ary between Canada and the United
States. It is to be known as the Peace
Portal and on September 6 it will be for
mally dedicated with appropriate cere
mony under the auspices of the Pacific
IHgbway association.
The Peace Portal, which is the concep
tion of Samuel Hill, president of the Pa
cific Highway association, will rest half
on British soil and half on the Ameri
can side of, the international boundary.
It is built of steel and concrete for per
manency. It Is of the Grecian Doric
type of architecture.
SUITABLY INSCRIBED
On the plinth on the American side are
inscribed the words: 'Children of a
Common Mother" ; on the Canadian side
the legend runs: "Brethren Dwelling
together in Unity." On the interior, be
low one of the doors are inscribed the
words : "Open for One Hundred Years,"
below the other door the words: "May
These Doors Never Be Closed."
The ceremony will include the placing
oi a piece of the "Mayflower," recently
secured in England, also, a piece of wood
from the "Beaver," the first ship pro
pelled by steam to enter the Pacific
ocean. Raised bronze tablets replicas of
these two vessels, will be placed over
the boxes containing the pieces of wood.
These bronze tablets, it is planned, are to
be opened from time to time in year to
come and appropriate ceremonies held.
TWO FLAG POLES
The structure is adorned with two flag
poles, one of which will carry the flag
of Great Britain and the other the flag
of the United States. Four hundred and
fifty electric lights have been placed on
the structure and the illumination at
night is of exceptional, beauty. The
portal is so placed that a view is had
from the islands In the Pacific on one
hand and the great Mount Baker on the
other and is located where it can be
seen from the ocean, railway and high
way. Last year 150,000 people crossed
the line near this point When the Pa
cific highway is paved and open from
Mexico to British Columbia it to believed
that at least a half million people will
pass by this portal every year.
The importance of this work Interna
tionally will be shown by placing on the
portal on the occasion of its dedication,
the flags of four nations, one of Great
Britain, one of the United States, one of
Belgium, because of the treaty signed
December 24. 1814. by which the United
States and Canada have lived side by
side in peace and harmony for 100 years
was signed at Ghent, Belgium, and one
of France because a large portion of
the population of Canada is French.
TWO BEAUTIFUL LAMPS
At each entrance to the portal la to
be placed a large, beautifully decorated
electric lamp, covered on the sooth aid
by the flag of the United State and on
the north side with that of Great Brit
ain. These flags are burned into the
lamp aad are the work of Mrs. Dana of
Seattle, the daughter of H. W. Basse tt,
under whoa superintendence the portal
was built
Various civic and official bodies are to
take part in the ceremonies and It to
believed this movement for permanent
peace will be further augmented by the
showing of the film called "The Sacred
Faith of a Scrap of Paper." This film,
prepared by President Jiillis in Europe,
represents the presentation by the Brit
ish Friend (Quakers) to the American
Friends (Quakers) of a piece of wood
taken from the beam of the "Mayflow
er"; its final blessing by Cardinal Her
der on its trip of 7090 miles to be placed
to the Peace Portal, and a reproduction
of the signing of the treaty of Ghent.
