EMPIRE GREAT CENTRAL RAIL TITLE TOBUILDNEWSANATARIll GROL'XD IS BROKEN OX 3I0UXT TABOR. SITE AT Four-Story Frame Building; Will Be ErectedColumbia University Starts Improvement. Ground was broken yesterday for the foundation of a four-Etory frame building, with full concrete basement, for the new Quarters of the Portland Sanitarium, on the site at Mount Tabor. The location is on the high ground on West avenue, 200 feet south of the Mount Tabor branch of the City & Suburban Company, on the western Mope of Mount Tabor. No bet ter .election of a site could have been made. From it may be had a compre hensive view of the whole of Portland and the country north and south for muny miles. Two and three-tenths acres were purchased for the buildings. Plans for the first building are being prepared by Architect Chappelle Browne and are now practically completed. Tho main structure, which will be four stories, will be 130x40 feet. There will be two two-story annexes at the back end of the main building, CO feet long, and con nected with the latter. There will be a full basement, but for the present only partially excavated. Between the two annexes there will be an ample court. The floor plans and elevations give an excellent idea of the Sanitarium. A porch 12 feet wide extends across the front and to the second story, which "will be provided with seats and reclining chairs. Through the first story there will be a wide hall, with the rooms opening out to it At the south end is the dining room, and at the north end is the parlor, with secondary rooms, Including writing, cloak and other rooms. In front are of fices and apartments for physicians. Here also are pantries and ejevator-rooms. In the south annex aro the dining-room and an ample gymnasium, and in the north annex are baths. The court Is between the two annexes. The second floor is taken up with am ple rooms for patients, opening Into the long hall, and also on the porch. The third and fourth floors are also occupied by patients apartments, with the operat ing apartment at the south end. Light and ventilation will be abundant. Tho front of the building will be very at tractive, from which a perspective of great range and variety may be had. In material, structure, design, style of ar chitecture, general plan and furniture and equipments the building will represent 'the most modern ideas pertaining to the con servation of health and the curing of the sick. In general the architect has fol lowed the style of the new sanitarium recently erected at Battle Creek, Mich., to take the place of the one destroyed by fire, costing $500,000. but of course much limited and reduced. The Portland Sani tarium, -with furnishings and equipments, will cost probably $40,000. This will be but the beginning. Other buildings are expected soon to be required on the ground at Mount Tabor. The new ar rangements contemplate the organiza tion of the entire Northwest into an in dependent jurisdiction, distinct from Bat tle Creek, and It Is expected that the in stitution will expand rapidly. Material will be delivered on the ground at once and the erection of the Sanitarium will be pushed forward to completion. COLLEGE: PLANS IMPROVEMENTS.

A large part of the work is to be done on the grounds. Between the university and Willamette boulevard the tract has been cleared of trees and stumps, which are being burned, preparatory to grading. Over 16,000 cubic yards of dirt will be moved. The ground will be graded east ward from the building to the boulevard. The graders are on hand, and will prob ably commence work next week.

While engaged in oiling machinery yes terday morning at Inman, Poulsen & Coa sawmill, J. W. Lawrence's clothes were caught in the big shaft, and he was whirled around several times.

LOCAL LUMBER TRUST. City Mills Form Combine to Pro mote Mutual Interests. The much talked of lumber combine Is now complete, and yesterday the City Lumber Company announced Itself ready for business. All of the lumber trade of the city will now be done through one central office. This arrangement will ap ply to local trade only, but will include all of the local trade. People wishing to buy lumber may get It of any mill they choose, but the profit on the work will all go Into one central pool and will be divided among the stockholders in the City Lumber Company according to their representation In the firm. An effort has been on foot for some time to bring about this condition, and it was once announced that the firm would be started on July 10. A hitch arose among the mills and there were ono or two that would not accept the terms that wero proposed, and for a time it looked as if the .combine would not be perfected. Those who had the matter in hand, how ever, were convinced of the expediency of such a combine, and continued to agi tate the proposition and at last the neces sary arrangements were made and an of fice established. W. E. Francis, formerly secretary of the East Side Lumber Com pany, has accepted the position of presi dent of the company, and the office has bten established In the Concord building. Every lumber mill In the city is now represented In the City Lumber Company, and no lurnbor can be purchased in the city except through this incorporation. The millmen say that they have not formed this combine with any Intention of raising the price of lumber, and that the raise in prices which occurred a short time ago had no-bearing, upon this organ ization. The condition of the market, and noth ing else," said one of them, "has caused the price of lumber to go up. At one time we used to have our yards piled full of lumber that we had not yet sold, but now our yards are always empty and we cannot turn out all. of the orders that we receive. We have to raise the prices in order to lessen the demand and give us a chance to keep up.,-k They give as their reason for forming the combine the condition of the labor market. They say that they do not know at what tlnif they will have to meet some unreasonable demand from their men, and that they have to be within calling distance of one another. Lightning Makes Bottomless Pit. TROT, 111.. Aug. L During a severe electrical storm here a cross-shaped fls Bure was formed In the ground one arm of which la 40 feet long and about six Inches wide and the other 20 feet long and six Inches wide.

Another candidate, Mlsa Oc tavla Downing, has entered the race for Queen of the Carnival, and It Is said that she will have many supporters. It was somewhat a question as to how far the lodges outside of Portland would support the carnival, but the many assur ances that have been received and tho active Interest that the outside lodges aro taking In tho event have removed all doubt !n this line and given assurance that the Elks are with the carnival to a man. Charles L. Dick, of Salem, called at headquarters yesterday afternoon and stated that Salem Lodge of Elks held a special meeting of tho lodge Thursday evening for the purpose of discussing rep resentation by their lodge at the Port land Elks' Varnlvai.

THE OFFICE OF EACH the ES ROAD Building, Portland, Oregon CLOSING OPARK BLOCKS i OBJECTION TO ONE FEATURE OF THE CAHNIVAL. Parle Commission Discusses the Mat ter, but No Decision Is Reached Routine Business. The right of the City Council to grant the use of. Park blocks for the Elks' Carnival was discussed at the meeting of the Park Commission yesterday morn ing. The question came up as the result of a remonstrance filed by Miss E. Beo sle Bond against the closing of Park street during the carnival. Miss Bond owns property bounded by Seventh, Park, Ankcny and Burnslde streets. There was present at the meeting Mayor Williams, chairman, and Commis sioners Rev. T. L. Eliot, Henry Flecken steln, L. Ik Hawkins and City Engineer Elliott. Dr. Eliot called attention to tha protest filed by Miss Bond, and Colonel Hawkins spoke of the street fair given by the Elks two years ago, and said tho dancing feature was of a low order. Mr. Fleckensteln showed his displeasure at the remarks Indulged In by Colonel Hawkins; thinking the Elks' order was being assailed. Colonel Hawkins suggested that a mild censorship would be desirable, and pro ceeded to explain what he thought was objectionable In the last show. Dr. Eliot said that while the Elks as a whole would conduct the Carnival prop erly, some ono firm might obtain control of affairs and overstep the bounds of pro priety. He thought a little criticism would not be listened to unkindly. Colonel Hawkins reiterated that the dancing feature of the former Carnival was low. "There is no doubt the Elks are a good order," said -Mayor Williams, "and that It includes many prominent men. I went to the Carnival myself, but do not remember much of anything I saw. The only Impression was of colors and something dazzling." The members present did not question tho right of the Council to temporarily vacate certain streets, but did question the Jurisdiction of the Council to allow the Elks to use any of the parks. The mat ter was finally referred to tho judiciary committee of the Park Commission, com prising Mayor Williams, Rufus Mallory and General Beebe. Two communications offering to sell deer for the City Park were rejected, as It was the opinion of the members present that there, arc enough deer now In the park. A bill of Brady & Sherrett for 562 for a fountain met with opposition. Mr. Brady, who was present, stated that the foun tain cost 54S, and he did not think 514 was too much profit. Mr. Fleckensteln disagreed with him. The commission went Into executive ses sion and cut the hill down to 553. The pay roll and claims for the month were approved. EstImatcsfor the month of August were presented as follows: La bor, and supplies, 525S. " Autos Bnrred From Parks. OMAHA, Aug. 1.
