ODD BUILDINGS
AND
On Route of Union Pacific Stages
Alice In Wonderland no doubt saw some odd buildings. She would
feel right at home if she would ride a Union Padfle stage ont
Sandy Boulevard, Portland, and see people looking from the windows
of a milk bottle, a Jug and a mushroom.
This route also has a building called the Icicle and one named
the Big Pump. Sandy Boulevard, which la a part of the Columbia
River Highway, perhapa has as many odd shaped structures as any
other highway. The milk bottle and the Jug advertise the business of
the people who own the buildings. The "milk bottle" la the home
of a dairy company. It is also a station and agency of the Union
Pacific Stages which run from Portland to Salt Lake City and Chicago
via the Columbia River Highway.
The “Orange Blossom Jug" Is a little restaurant and the Jag,
suggesting refreshment, is a very good sdvertlsement for the business.
The mushroom-shaped service station has no special business
significance but is n striking departure from commonplace archV
teeter*.
The large number of peculiar and fantastic building* along this
route Just happened to Intrigue the Imagination of Tom Jennings,
Traffic Manager of the Union Pacific Stages, and the result wee a
trip for the photographer who brought buck the Interesting photo­
graphs shown above.

The Union Pacific Stages operate five schedules dally
Portland and The Dalles, three to Pendleton, two to
asm transcontinental Schedules dally to Chicago.
