KNOWN AS IRISH HILL
Designation of Square 533 in
the Early Days.
NEAR THE u. S. COURT HOUSE
Supply of Good Water Was One of
the Blessings.
TWENTY-FIVE LOTS ARRANGED
Names of Original Owners-Progress
of Improve;r ents-Some of the
Characters Described.

In the early days of the last century
portion of square No. 533, between Indiana
avenue, Sd. c and Az streets, was included
in what was known as Irish Hill, though
the hill was about the corner of and AZ
streets-now John Marshall place. Some of
the newly arrived sons of the green isle
found work mostly on the public buildings,
the canal and in nearby brick yards, resid
ed there-hence the name. Prior to the
erection of the city hall, in the twenties,
some of them in question resided on Judi
ciary Square. While 'hill was the term
used for the square, it was a misnomer, as
the grade descended from the site of the
city hall to the eastward, and near Az and
c streets there was asmall knoll To the
south were public grounds, and for many
years the east and north there were no
indications of carriage or wagon ways, or,
indeed, that such was necessary. 1t is true
that Indiana avenue was in the line of the
Ridge route to the Capitol, but there was
only wagon track and foot path. 1t was
not until the thirtieS that this was graded.
Ten years before, and AZ streets were
improved the location of the Masonic Hall
and the city hall and some other buildings
being incentive thereto. About 1880 sew
eral dwellings, one grocery on the c
street front, called for improvements
thereon. Like the square to the west, No.
53} blessed with good water and some
of the early settlers were wont to say that
with a spade and good right arm water
could be found on any lots fronting on c
street, and a six-foot well was all that was
necessary in other portions.
Plated for twenty-five lots on the orig
inal plan, those numbered /. 10, 10 and "A

northwest and northeast corners of the
square. In 1892 two of these. ) and 6, on

but passed to j. and l. Perkins in low to
Gideon Snow in 1910; to H. and A. Halo
well in 1917 and. to Robt. Moffatt in 1921.
John Moffatt conducted a grocery there for
several years. and it is said that the bust
ness was established long years before.
Solomon Etting. in 1909, owned lots | and

Thornton had lot =, Samuel Blodgett hay
ing given a trust 1t to secure the pay
ment of lottery prizes two year before.
Inc lot on Sd street. No. %. was obtained
in 1900 by Cruikshank and Thompson and
in 1921 1t was in the name of Lewis Cla-
phane. and later ]. kedglie and Elizabeth
Abbott were the owners. In 1900 Pratt
Francis and others owned four lots on the
west and north fronts of the square, in
Guiding the northwest corner. and two
years later Isaac Pollock owned seven lots
one each on c and Az streets. and five on
Indiana avenue including the corner of Sd
street. Later he sold the Az street lot and
three lots at the corner of 3D. street and
Indiana avenue to f. Fairfax.

The socialists and clericals each have

A Novel Competition

The Commercial club of Port
land Oregon, has adopted an
unique method Of attracting at
tention to that city and the Pa
cific northwest. 1t is offering a
series of prizes amounting in
the aggregate to five thousand
dollars in cash for the best arti-
cles treating Of any phase of the
resources, scenery, irrigation
projects, agriculture, horticul-
ture, timber, dairying, history,
educational and religious adj
vantages, social conditions, etc.,
which make that section of the
United States desirable to set
tiers.
One of the conditions of the
competition is that the contest
ant must secure the publication
of his article in a regular edition
of some newspaper or other pub
LEGATION dated on or before De,
cember 31st, 1907, and printed
outside of the states of Oregon
and Washington. The publica-
ton containing the article must
be in the hands of the judges,
who are to. be appointed by the
governor Of Oregon, not later
than February LIST, 1908.
This offer is a novel one and
especially interesting as indica-
ting the aggressive spirit of the
cities of the northwest in exploit
ing their advantages. The offer
is made, however, not so much
with a view Of having the coun-
try s'boomed' in the common &C.
.ceptation of that term, as to have
the: people of the country gener-
ally, become familiar with the
North Pacific Coast.

former statements made as to
