PAVEMENT LAID AT
A MODERATE COST
Portland Property Owners Save 40
Per Cent by Using Old
Macadam Base.

City Engineer T. NJ. Hurlburt. OF
Portland, believes that he has at last
arrived at a solution Of how to give
property owners durable pavements
at a moderate cost Such a pavement
has lust been laid on Kearney street
in that city and property owners who
fought every effort to pave that street
on account Of what they deemed the
excessive prices asked by the stand
ard paving companies have expressed
themselves as being entirely satisfied
with the work.
The pavement mentioned is the
weu-known bitulithic. The Kearney
street pavement Is declared BY the
CITY engineer to be as good as any ev-
or laid in Portland. and IL has been
mt down at a saving OF nearly 40 per
cent when the fact that there was no
charge for excavation is considered.
The explanation Of the reduced cost
- that the old macadam base OF the
street has been used as a foundation
FOR the bituIithic. Heretofore. stand
ss bitulithic has been laid on base
~ crushed rock and in case where
,he streets were covered with old
,,scadam. the property owners had to
nav for the removal Of the macaoaIn
and also for the new crushed rock
base

POPULAR SCHOOL TEACHER
WOULD REPRESENT DALLAS
Miss Gertrude POIlow Is Candidate
for Eastern Trip to BE Given by
"Pacifc Northwest"

Miss Gertrude Pollow, popular
teacher in the Dallas public schools,
is a candidate for the honor of rep

the excursion to the Atlantic states,
to be given to ten young women of
Oregon by the well-known farm
journal, The Pacific Northwest, of
which Philip S. Bates, of Portland, Is
the editor and publisher
The plan upon which this excursion
is being arranged has the hearty in
dorsement of the Dallas Commercial
club. Miss Pollow is receiving lib
eral and enthusiastic support from
the business men and residents gener-
ally of Dallas, all appreciating the
faithful manner in which she has
performed her duties as a teacher in
the city schools and knowing that she
would represent Polk county grace
fully and intelligently on the long
trip through the Eastern states where
it is certain that the Oregon girls will
be the recipients of a continuous
round of social and sightseeing enter
tainment.
The excursion will leave Portland
early in June and will last about
three weeks. In which time the young
women will visit Chicago, New York,
Washington and other large cities Of
the Eastern states. A large amount
of literature advertising Oregon, will
be carried by the excursionists and
will be distributed at every stopping
nlace
