WHAT THE DEEDS SHOW
More Tlian Two Million Three Hun
dred Thousand Dollars Are the
Figures for the Month
.lust Cached.
Fobriiary. with only 23 business days,
holds tb yeord for the volume of real
estate transfers abore every other month
In the history of Portland. The total
sales for the past months, as shown in
the books of the County Clerk's office,
mount to $2,309,150. This Is the first time
that the 52,000,000 mark has been reached
In this city. The summary kept by the
Daily Recorder for the past two years
shows no month when the total monthly
business even approached this figure, and
it goes without saying that It was equaled
by no month previous to that time. j
An idea of the rapid Increase which has j t
been made in the activity of the Portland
market is given by observing that th )
Kales for February. 1105. amounted to only I
3502.760, or MoS.lSO less than one-fourth
those of the past month. The sales for I
the month of last January wore SMiVS.Sii. I J
The best record made previous to the j
month just closed was for last December. I
when the books showed transactions
amounting to $1.?02.WM. It is evident,
therefore, that the past month has ex
ceeded the best of its predecessors by al
jnost jr-W.OOO.
How Recording- Is Done.
Even with these large flgures-the official
records arc much below the actual trans- , 4
actions. Many of the largest deals have J
been recorded at the usual fictitious j i
values, and this practice was even more j ?
In evidence during the past month than j I
usual. In fact, it has been customary for .
many buyers to conceal the real value of I I
their purchases, especially the railroads, j
which have been making extensive pur- '
chases and recording nearly all of them
In this way.
Dealers regard the heavy buying shown
In the February figures as a true indica
tion of what may be confidently expected
for the remainder of the year. The fig
ures were swelled by no exceptionally
large transfer, but reprosent activity that
was constant throughout the entire
month. It is also a fact that a majority
of the large deals of the past month have
not yet been recorded. Already enough
sales have been made and not recorded to
assure the March figures to be as great
as those of February. If large sales arc
so frequent throughout the rest of the
year, and there seems to be every indica
tion that they will be, the year 1005 will
establish a record twice as large as last
year, which was an advance over Its pred
ecessors. Big- Railroad Deal.
Yesterday a deal involving 5200,000 was
consummated by the Portland & Seattle
Railway Company, which purchased an
entire block to add to the terminal yards
already bought in North Portland. The
block Is at Fifteenth and Thurman streets
and is occupied by the warehouse of
Mitchell. Lewis & Staver.
The firm which sold has for some time
been considering changing the location of
its warehouse to the wholesale district of
East Portland. Some time ago an option
was secured upon block 5S of the Ladd
Instate, and this option was closed coinci
dent with tho sale of te other building
yesterday. The present warehouse will
be torn down and new quarters erected
on the site just purchased, which Is on
the south side of East Morrison street,
adjoining the Studebaker warehouse.
Another sale has just been made on the
East Side, F. W. Leadbetter purchasing
:in undivided two-thirds interest in a
block at Bast Morrison and Water streets
adjoining the Morrison-street bridge on
the south. The property was owned by H.
C. Leonard, who sold for $40,000. The re
maining interest is owned by the Green
estate.
East Side Transaction.
The Acme Mills Company yesterday se
cured six lots from the Montgomery es
tate, in Lower Albina. paying 512.000 for
the property. Two of the lots adjoin the
iplant the company has in Lower Al
bina, having 50-foot frontage on Railroad
street, 200 feet on Albina avenue and 50
feet on Goldsmith street. The other four
Jots are the south hnlf of the block, hav
ing a frontage of 100 feet on Railroad and
J-orlng and 200 on Albina avenue. The
Acme Mills Company will enlarge its
plant.
Russell & Blyth have completed the
preliminary plans for the 14-story sky
scraper which they will build at the
siortheast corner of Sixth and Stark
streets, as announced in The Oregonlan
Home time ago, and have engaged B. "Wls
lar Morris, Jr.. of New York City, to pre
;pare the specifications. Mr. Morris is
nlso the architect for the building now
meing erected hy wells-Fargo & Co. at
Sixth and Oak streets, and the two build
fings will be of equally high character.
The Russell & Blyth building will cover
a site 50x100 and will be the highest build
ang in the city. The firm has been
planning to build for some time and will
prepare to go ahead with the pro
ject soon after the plans have been com
pleted by Mr. Morris. Mr. Blyth will
leave about the end of the month for
England, where the firm expects to close
a large financial deal, and the work of
construction Is expected to commence
upon his return.
Sixth-Street Improvements.
The Improvement of Sixth street is go
ing on very rapidly and the prices which
have been rising rapidly In the district
will be still further stimulated when the
Hussell & Blyth building is commenced.
The Wells-Fargo building is less than a
block from this site, and the Steinbach
property, which Is to be improved by
J. B. Yeon, Is at Seventh and Stark. The
property next to the Quelle, on the ad
joining block, was bought last week by
Mr. Yeon and two associates, who will
erect a large building upon it.
Tho contract for the two stories which
are to be added to the Chamber of Com
merce building has been awarded to David
"Williams. It is estimated that this addi
tion will cost about $100,000. The ninth
fioor will be occupied by the Commercial
Club, together with its present quarters
in the eighth story. The tenth floor will
be used for offices. With the improve
ments the Chamber of Commerce will be
not only one of the best, but also one ol
the highest buildings in the city.
J. G, Kilgrecn has been given the con
tract for erecting a two-story bricX
building on the property owned by the D.
P. Thompson estate at the northeast cor
ner of Third and Madison streets. The
structure will cover a quarter block and
be two stories high. It will cost between
$15,000 and $20,000.
NOT TO RETARD BUILDING
Joseph Buchtel Says Fire Limits,
East Side, Must Be Reasonable.
The committee appointed, by the East
Side Improvement Association to assist
in describing: new boundary lines for lire
limits In East Portland, including- Coun
cilman Sharkey, Joseph Buchtel and Dr.
C. H. Haffcty. will liave a conference
with a committee from the Council this
afternoon at 5 o'clock. Mr. Buchtel, an
old fireman, says that it is a problem to
say what territory .should be Included In
new limits so as not to retard improve
ment. That, he said, was the one thin?
to be avoided In fixing fire limits, but Mr.
Buchtel thinks brick structures should
be required, where they can be put up at
not too great expense, and nlso that there
should be some restrictions on wooden
structures to be erected in the district
between Grand avenue and the Willam
ette River. He advocates bulkheads con
crally under such wooden structures as
have been built and may be built here
after on piles and elevated foundation as
one preventive of the spreading- of fires
underneath them.
All phases of the question will be gone
over to the end that Improvements will
not be retarded, and yet thst reasonable
boundary lines and restriction be estab
lished. Every fill in East Portland is
found to increase fire protection in this
territory, and with all the fills prospective
and under way the insurance rates are

expected to be reduced materially as s

But for the fact that she is equipped
with double bottoms, the steamer Rc

In the deep channel of the Columbia River
off St. Helens Instead of hanging on the
rocks of the Jetty forming a breakwater
in the middle of the river at that point.

with Pilot A. A. Bailey at the whel. her
j cargo consisting of S00 tons of wheat and
Su'J.OOO fet-t of lumber. Approaching the
Jetty at the rate of 14 knots an hour, the
steamer refused suddenly toanswer her
helm. and. sheering off to port, plowed her
way clean through the row of piling that
forms the breakwater and onto the rocks
for a distance of 40 feet. The rocks arc
partly submerged, but nevertheless a por
tion of lh bow was raised sufficiently to
expose the kcfl.
Captain Ahlin was fearful that the swift
current would possibly drag the craft
from her perilous position, and for that
reason ordered the lifeboats swung ready
for launching on a moment's notice, and
the 15 passengers were Instructed what to
do In case the hull should threaten to
slide into the deep channel under the pro
jt'Ctlng stern. But, like the Geo. W.
Elder, which went on the rocks at Goble.
the Redondo hud found a solid resting
place, and it will probably require the
combined power of several tugs to dis
lodge her. The- passengers remained on
board over night, and yesterday morning
they were transferred to St. Helens on a
gasoline boat. They came to Portland
last night on the steamer T. J. Potter. J

forward ballast tank appears to have

"The Redondo will have to be brought
back to Portland and placed on the dry
dock," said Mr. Taylor last night, "but I
think her injuries are comparatively
slight. . Captain Andrew Hobcn, surveyor
for the Bcureau Veritas, who hurried to
the wreck, made a careful examination
and recommended the discharging of the
deckload of lumber at once. Barges were
-brought down from Portland by the steam
er Star and the lumber will probably b-s
off some time In the morning. Captain
Hoben did not think It necessary to light
er the wheat until tho steamer reaches
Portland.
"The accident was due to something go
ing -wrong with the steering-gear, so I
am told, and apparently could not be
avoided. The Redondo has been on the
Portland-San Francisco rur for a long
time, on a semi-monthly schedule, and
this Is the first time that she has met
with a mishap of a serious nature. How
ever, luckily no one was injured or even
frightened."

The power that gives you
life and motion is the nerve

the nerve cells of the brain,
and sent out through the
nerves to the various organs.
If you are tired, nervous,
irritable, cannot sleep; have
headache, feel stuffy, dull and
melancholy, or have neuralgia,
rheumatism, backache, peri
odical pains, indigestion, dys
pepsia, stomach trouble, or the
kidneys and liver are inactive,
your life-current is weak.
Power-producing fuel is need
ed : something to increase nerve

Dr. Miles' Restorative Ner
vine is the fuel you need. It
feeds the nerves, produces nerve
force, and restores vitality.
"When I began taking Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine and AnU-Paln
Pills I was confined to my bed. I
bad severe nervous spells, tho result
of two years illness with malaria. I
gradually grew so weak: that I was
unable to sit up. The spells would
commence with cold chills, snd I
wculd become weak and almost help
less. My circulation was poor. I
had doctored risht along but grew

Dr.

Pains, Dizzy Spells and
Weakness.
Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that is
what most sufferers think of dyspepsia.
They are astonished when their stomach
begins to trouble them seriously. Thoy
can't think of any adequate cause.
Thev had been eatinir hnrrierllv and
Irregularly for a long time, to be sure,
but they supposed their stomachs quite
used to that. "Why should they give out
all at once and make them restless and '
sleepless and faint and dizzy? ;
Some people know that the strength '
which the weak stomach needs, and for
the lack of which the whole body is suf
fering, can be found surely and quickly
in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In hun
dreds of instances these pills have suc
ceeded where every other remedy had I
failed, and m every case the cure was
radical.
"My indigestion," said Mr. J.R. Mil
ler, of Dayton, Ya., " came in the first
place from the fact that a few years ago
I worked a great deal at night, and ate
at any odd hour whenever the chance
came, and always very hurriedly. One
day I found myself a victim of terrible
dyspepsia. It kept me miserable all the
time for several years.
" I always had a great deal of distress
after eating, and when I got up from my
sleep my stomach would be so weak that
it would hardly take any food. I had
Tery uncomfortable feelings about my
heart, and was dizzy and, whenever I
stooped over and then straightened up,
my eyes would be badly blurred.
"I read the statements of several per
sons who had got rid of obstinate stom
ach troubles by using Dr. Williams
Pink Pills. I bought some and they
did mo a world of good. They acted
promptly and did just what was claimed
for them. I have no more distress af
ter meals; the bad feeling has gone from
tho region of my heart; the alarming
dizzy spells have disappeared, and I am
strong again."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob
tained at any drug store. They can be
used with safety for any length of time
as they contain no opiates, stimulants
or harmful drugs. A diet book of great
value to dyspeptics can be had free by
writing to tho Dr. Williams Medicine
