VICTIM OF SPITE, HE SAYS LARGE PROFIT IN A YEAR Former General Agent of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company Claims He Is Creditor and Not Short in His Accounts. That the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company officials are Indebted to him In a sum aggregating approximately $11,000, and that they have caused his arrest on a charge of felony embezzlement to. get him Into the penitentiary because of this and for other reasons. Is the declaration of H. T. Booth, until recently general agent of the concern for Oregon. He sur rendered himself to Captain Slover at police headquarters yesterday afternoon, after arranging for a bond that insured his release, pending an adjustment of the case in court. ' Policeman James, F. Anderson, who stated to Captain of Detectives Bruin that he personally knew Bosth, spent 24 hours looking for the latter, but failed to find him. While the officer was beating the air in his fruitless efforts to find Booth, the man he sought was going about his business on the streets and in public places, including the District At torney's office, police headquarters build ing and the Municipal Court. While Anderson was "seeking" Booth from I o'clock to 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Booth was within 25 feet of the office in an upstairs room, giving an interview to a representative of The Oregonlan, in the presence of Uaywer A. King Wilson and Clerk of the Court Hennessy. Later In the day. Booth, having arranged bonds, walked down stairs and asked Captain Slover please to book him on a charge of embezzlement. The captain obliged him by so doing. Charges Against Booth. W. H. Davis, of San Francisco, rep resenting the Pacific Mutual Life Insur ance Company, charges in a complaint filed Thursday -that Booth, while general agent for Oregon, misappropriated about J50CO, and states that the case will be prosecuted and civil suit entered. Owing to the fact that Booth would not appear publicly Thursday afternoon or night because he had no bond arranged for his statement could not be obtained until yesterday. He then gave a com plete review of his side of the matter. Booth is the son of a pioneer family, his father, H. H. Booth, being superin tendent of the Chemawa . Indian school 20 years ago. H. T. Booth has been en gaged in the insurance business for 20 years, he says, his first experience being with the old State Insurance Company, of Salem. Later he was with the Massachu setts Mutual Life Company for five years In Eastern Oregon, and finally, seven ' years ago, entered the service of the Pa cific Mutual as general agent for Eastern ' Oregon, his headquarters being at Baker City. He made that place his home until one year ago, when he removed with his family to Portland, having been promoted to the position of general agent for Ore gon, with headquarters here. Before coming here to live, he was Interested In the Baker City Herald, and still owns ( stock In that newspaper. . Arrest Result of Spite. Booth declares that his arrest is the outcome of antagonism that has sprung up as a result of several years of dis sension between himself and certain high officials of the Pacific Mutual. He states that he fought hard to defeat ai effort made some time ago to change the name of the Pacific Life Insurance Company to that of the Pacific Mutual and Conserva tive, or the Pacific Conservative, and says he won the. fight, thus saving the name for the good of its thousands of policy holders. Since then, he declares, bit terness has existed among some officials of the company against him, and, he Bays, as a final blow, he recently resigned his position to accept the general agency for Oregon of a new concern, the West Coast Life Insurance Company, of San Fran cisco. He declared yesterday that the affairs of the Pacific Mutual Company were not In a condition satisfactory to him, and that he has many times threatened to go into the courts of California and force an examination of the books. Before the earthquake, he says, there was a defici ency of at least $300,000, and he further says that an examination is scheduled for this Fall, to be conducted by the State Insurance Examiner of the State of Cali fornia, it having been postponed because of the chaotic state of affairs In the Bay City, the result of the great disaster. Booth states that, granting he Is short $5000, just as charged against him by the company now, they have his bond for an equal sum In the National Security Com pany, and cannot lose, he states. How ever, he declares that his renewal Interest, gathered through seven years of hard work, aggregates $11,000, which is owing him, he says. At the Theaters Wnat tha Frees Agent Bay.

KELP BUILD OWN ASYLUM IDAHO INSANE PATIENTS MOST OP WORK. DO Medical Superintendent of Institu tion Visits Portland to Inspect F.qnipnient lor New Buildings. Dr. John "W. Gibbons, Medical Super intendent of the Northern Idaho Asy lum, for. the Insane, located at Oro Fino, is in Portland Investigating the equipment for the new asylum at that place, which is in process of erection. Dr. Gibbons said yesterday. In speaking of the building operations at Oro Fino: "The buildings were commenced two years ago and when finished will care for the insane of the six northern Idaho counties. All of the Insane of that section have been received at the new asylum for the past year. The present number Is 75. Much of the construc tion work has been performed by in mates of the institution the clearing of the grounds, laying water mains, mak ing the brick used in the construction of the buildings and helping the ma sons to put up portion's of the brick work. The asylum patients and their attendants are at this time finishing up another brick kiln which will pro duce 300,000 brick, which will be used this season in the erection of a ward and an administration building." Dr. Gibbons also spoke of the rapid development of Northern Idaho. "Gen eral conditions in Northern Idaho," said Dr. Gibbons, "are very prosperous. The grain crops this year are the largest ever grown in that region. The lumber industry is better than it ever has been before; the mines are doing well, and considerable railroad con struction is under way. The Northern Pacific is building a line from Lewis ton to Grangevllle, a djstanee - of 40 miles, and the Chicago, Millwaukee & St. Paul's line now building from Chi cago to Seattle, will cross the state and open up a rich country at present un developed. Relative to the recent trial at Boise, Dr. Gibbons expressed this opinion: "The people of Idaho took it for granted that the jury had some reason able doubt as to the guilt of the alleged conspirators to the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, but they believe the county and state officers did the best possible thing in following out the clue 'that they believed would result in the conviction of all who are responsi sible for that dastardly crime. They are determined that dynamite and mur der shall not be the order in that state. No matter how much money it may cost, they propose to preserve civiliza tion by law and order. "While the Federation officials may not be guilty of any conspiracy, it is generally believed that they have been very unfortunate In their association with such men as Orchard has con fessed he is. The people also believe If the Western Federation of Miners is to have standing with good citizens, they must free themselves from such men as the murderer of Idaho's ex governor." PERS0NALMENTI0N.

Ideal on hot days because GRAPE-NUTS requires no cooking and is at the same time a perfect food. A perfect hot weather breakfast, made up of GRAPE NUTS and cream, some fruit, soft-cooked eggs, and a bit of crisp toast, starts the day right, keeps the blood cool and body and brain well nourished. . Compare the cool, contented GRAPE-NUTS-fed man or woman with your meat-fed neighbor who is sweltering and miserable. You don't have to cook GRAPE-NUTS for the reason that this food is cooked perfectly at the factory. This cooking is done on scientific principles, so that all the starches of the grains are transformed until they are ready for immediate digestion and yet all the good of the grains is left in. ' - V is the most famous food product in the world. "There's a Reason" Entire Block Sold for $150,000 in 1006 Purchasers, M. Barde & Sons, Dealers in Iron Pipe and Other Like Commodities. Following a property sale Thurs day, involving $104,000, another trans fer for $110,000 was closed yesterday, showing the more than healthy con dition of the Portland realty market and heralding the heavy Fall busi ness. The property sold is the half block on the north side of Glisan street, between Third and Fourth. - It is at the end of the new approach to the Steel bridge. It was owned by D. C. Peiton and bought by M. Barde & Sons through the ageney of the bro kerage firm of C. K. Henry & Son. The feature of this sale is the big advance in values that it shows having occurred In the past year. The entire block bounded by Third. Fourth, Gli san and Hoyt streets was sold one year ago for $150,000. The half pur chased by Mr. Peiton at that time is the more valuable portion of the prop erty, but the price paid yesterday gives a handsome profit to Mr. Peiton for his outlay. The entire block was formerly owned by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works arid was occupied by the plant of that concern. When this firm bought tfnd improved a much larger site on the north water front, the block was sold half of it to Mr. Peiton and half to Joseph Simon. On the north half Mr. Simon is now erecting a five-story brick warehouse for the Hazelwood Cream Company. Since the purchase made by Mr. Peiton he has remodeled the frame building, of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works. This" has been put in condition and will be occupied by M. Barde & Sons, the present purchasers. This firm handles Iron pipe and simi lar commodities and the property is excellently suited for its purposes. Railroad facilities are at hand as there Is a Southern Pacific track on Fourth street. Mr. Peiton was anxious to retain the property as a permanent investment and it was only after considerable ne gotiating that he agreed to sell. He first offered to lease the half block for a term of years, but the firm wished to secure permanent quarters for Its business and insisted on acquiring the title. More large sales have been made this Summer than is usually the case at this season of the year. There has not been the slightest tendency to reduce prices and dealers are' prophesying a varv busv Fall. Inquiry from both local and outside men is growing steadily. C. K. Henrr & Son also report the sale of 26 lots in Fultoo by Rothchild Brothers to Joseph Weber. Mr. Weber Is connected with a tannery in South Portland and on many of the lots res idences will be built for the employes of the tannery.

The pressure has fallen decidedly over this forecast dtftrict during' the last 12 hours, and a disturbance of very moderate character overlies Oregon and Southern WHAT character of a. place would you prefer for a home of your own if you had the power of selection of any kind? Some people like the crowded city ; some the suburbs ; some a busi ness street, and others the quiet of an exclusively residence street. But, take human nature as it is, 90 per cent of us all would rather build where there is more of Nature and less of noise, turmoil and dust of the busy city. Taking everything into consideration, it is a per fectly safe statement that whatever character of a home place best suits you, you will find it in Rose City Park. There you have the choice of a hill side, a level place, trees and shrubbery or bare land. ' There is scarcely a taste that cannot be thoroughly satisfied. The principal thing to urge upon you is that you take the pains to investigate. Hartman ! & Thompson BANKERS 1 Chamber o! Commerce Flrst-Claa Check RMtavraat Connected With Hotel. C. O. DAVIS.
