Hoey Plans Hearing
On New Bill 10 Block
'Crestwood Apartment

A three-year fight to prevent
erection of an apartment house at
the southwest corner of Sixteenth
and Shepherd streets NV. has been
renewed by residents of the nearby
Crestwood community.
Losers in an administrative and
court contest that once was carried
to the Supreme Court, Crestwood
homeowners have again appealed to
Congress for legislation to ban the
project by rezoning the site to re-
stricted residential usage.
Acting Chairman Hoey of the
Senate District Committee yesterday
introduced the bill at the request of
CrestWood spokesman, and said he
planned to schedule hearings.
Includes Other Property.
His bill would apply to property
on the northeast corner of Sixteenth
street and Arkansas avenue NV,
as we'll as to the disputed apart
ment site across Sixteenth street
The apartment has been planned
since early in 1943 by Harry Poret-
sky, builder and contract purchaser
of the 2-acre tract.
Owners of nearby homes appealed
to the Zoning Commission to change
the property's classification. This
was granted, but Mr.. Poretsky took
the case to District Court, which
later denounced and overruled the
action of the zoning body.
While further court action was
pending, Crestwood citizens then
appealed to Congress and the House
passed bill to outlaw the apart
ment project. This bill died in the
Senate, however, when opposed by
Senator Tydings, Democrat, OF
Maryland.
Second Bill Stalled.
Later the Senate committee spon-
sored a compromise bill to have the
Government buy the tract for $72,-
500, or Is per cent above the as
sesseo value. Along with this, it
was reported, sums were to be con-
tributed by Crestwood citizens
lawyers and others, to cut losses Mr.
Poretsky said he otherwise would
suffer.

from there by freight wagon 70
F1athead Lake, thence by steamer
to the head Of the lake, and again
by wagon to distribution depots
along the construction route.
As had been the case In build
ing the Northern Pacific. these
railroad camps afforded q good
market for local beef and wheat all
along the line. It is not surprising
to find notes like this in Told BY
Pioneers: dan Paul and T. s,
Blythe on the Moses Lake country,
had the contract for furnishing
beef to the construction camps. AS
the camps moved west they moved
their cattle, swimming them across

The last rail Of the 834-mile
stretch of the Great Northern rail-
road from Havre, Montana, to Pu-
get Sound was put in place on jan
uary S, 1893, completing what in
many respects was the most re-
markable of all the transcontinent-
al railroads of America. In the
first place it had been financed
without the subsidy of a land grant
and secondly it had never gone
through bankruptcy and reorgan-
ization as the others have. This
record is to be attributed largely

Frank Reeves, who earlier had
helped to boom Ellensburg through
the columns of the Ellensburg Re-
gister, moved to Wenatchee in 1891
and founded the Wenatchee Ad-
vance, a potent factor in town pro-
motion. Three years later he
moved to Leavenworth and start
ed paper there.
Everett and Monte Cristo
The most spectacular boom in
connection with the coming of the
Great Northern was that of the
town of Everett, Washington, and
the Monte Cristo mining district
behind it. This was projected in a
big way by eastern capital, includ-
ing Rockefeller money, under a
multiple-use resource development
plan. Everett, located on Puget
Sound as an ocean port, was laid
out as an industrial metropolis
which was to be supported by the
exploitation of minerals, forest and
tourist visitation in the mountain
Gus region behind it. Silver, the
magic mineral of that day, had
been discovered at Monte Cristo in
1889. A railroad was built to con-
meet with the property and large
tourist hotel was erected. In Ev-
erett smelter and reduction plant
were established, together with
iron works a tannery saw-mill, a
single mill and a pulp and paper
company. A somewhat unique en-
terprise was a plant for the manu-
facture of Whaleback barges.
BremeIton Navy Yard
The growing importance of the
Pacific to the United States was
high lighted in 1891 when Con-
gress voted to establish Puget
Sound Navy Yard. This was To-
Gated at Bremerton, across the
Sound from Seattle, which had
been founded that year by Will
liam Bremen.
