State of Oregon - East Portland, Multnomah County

East Portland, Multnomah County, PO and incorporated town, is picturesquely located on the right bank of the Willamette River, opposite the city of Portland, by which it is connected by two ferries, making frequent trips. This is the northern terminus of the Oregon and California Railroad, aid has extensive machine shops and warehouses connected with that thoroughfare. The town is extensively laid out, covering some four or five square miles, and is sought as the pleasant suburban residence by many whose places of business are in the greater city on the west side of the river. The population numbers some 1,500, maintaining three public and one private school, four churches, and lodges of the various societies. Several manufactories are established, as saw and flour mills, car and machine shops, and foundry, and as taxes are light, the location pleasant, and facilities for business good, it is a prosperous and growing town. One newspaper, the News, is published weekly.
