RESIDENCE SALES
: FEATURE OF WEEK
Demand for Lots in Central
Location and Suburbs
Continues Strong.
BUYERS ALSO BUILDERS
Portland's Claim to Be Known as
the Home City Strengthened
j Construction of Hun
dreds of Dwellings.
Residence sales for the past week were
again the feature of the market on the
Bast Side. These sales ranged from $i00 up
to $6000. and were widely distributed. The
homebutlder has been more . In evidence
than ever before, and the architects have
been kept busy preparing plans for dwell
ings to be erected near the business dis
trict as well as In the suburbs. The ex
tensive Improvements In the Ladd tract,
eouth of Hawthorne avenue; In Rossmere,
along Hancock street, and In Rose City
Park, are progressing rapidly at heavy
cost, changing these additions into resi
dence districts with hard-paved streets
and concrete sidewalks even before the
Jots are sold. The heavy dealing will
probably continue during the Fall in all
these additions.
One of the largest sales on the East
cha i,rin. th nast week was that of
four acres of the Henry Battin place, on
the Base Line road, near East Fortieth
street, for 410,000. to J. Reed, who owns
a home near by. Another considerable
sale was that In Irvlngton by which the
Security Savings & Trust Company sold
to E. B. Holmes and J. P. Menefee lots 1,
2, 3, 13 to 20, Inclusive, block 34, for $9000.
The same company also sold to the same
buyers a number of lots In Irvlngton for
34500.
A quarter block at Rodney avenue and
Fargo street, Albina. was sold to Gottleib
Koth by Hugo Krleger for 35500. In Lower
' Albino, near the intersecton of Lortng
and Railroad streets, W. D. Wash sold a
single lot to S. B. Moses for 35000. Olds,
Wortmaa & King purchased a quarter
block on the southeast corner of East
Wasihngton and ' East Seventh streets
from J. L. Leonard for 35000.
In East Portland, Mary E. Tumbull
purchased of Hudson R. Nelson lots 6 and
7. Feurer's Addition, for 33000. In Will
lams AveriYie Addition Margaret G. Stow
ell sold to F. C. Gortler lot 5, block 2, for
33209.
Many Contracts Are Let.
The United States Laundry Company
has purchased a quarter block on the
southwest corner of East Nlntn ana
East Yamhill streets from the Central
Trust & Investment Company. The
price paid was 3&600. It Is announced
that the quarter was secured as the
Site for a laundry. t
The contract for trte residence of
Lewis Montgomery at East Twentieth
and East Taylor streets has been let
to N. G. Patterson and the plumbing
to Roy Quackenbush. The house will
he i two-story with full basement and
attic, and the cost will be $15,000. It
will cover a quarter block. The oth
er quarter on the west side of the half
block will also be Improved with a
garage.
A residence of concrete blocks for
Mrs. Beaty, 34x42, will be erected at
Hawthorne avenue and East Thirty
ninth street. A. H. Faber Is preparing
plans for this residence.
The Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany will put up at once 10 new dwell
ings on the new addition of Rossmere
on the Sandy Road electric line. In
this tract the building restriction is
from $1500 to $2000. Last week an
order was made for 7000 barrels of
concrete to be used in constructing the
sidewalks.
There is much interest in the resi
dence Architect Faber has designed
without chimneys. It will be lighted
and heated with gasoline manufactured
on the premises. Building Inspector
Spencer, however, is inclined to think
that the dwelling will not comply with
the building ordinance. The architect
maintains that It comes within the mean
ing of the ordinance.
C. L. Goodrich has drawn plans for
a $5000 dwelling for A. M. C. McDon
ald on Twenty-first and Schuyler
streets.
Work on the Buckman building,
Union avenue and East Burnside street,
Is progressing rapidly. The third and
last story has been reached. The
building will be completed some time
in September and occupied by a Jarge
Portland firm.
On the Prodfood reinforced concrete
building at East' Burnside and East
Third streets, the fourth story has
been reached, and the wooden "forms'
are being removed. The structure still
lacks a finished appearance but will
be very attractive when completed.
These two buildings represent mora
than $100,000 expenditure.
The home for the Portland Rowing
. Club at the foot of Taggart street is
being completed. It Is euilt on the
. solid ground so that the floods will
not endanger It. It wiil cost more
-,than $5000, and will be occupied some
tune in September.
RUSSIA UNDER IRON HEEL
Last Vestige of Liberty Gone Since
Douma Dissolved. v
I
BERLIN, July 27. (Special.)
Since the dissolution of the Russian
Douma Ihe last remnants of Russia's
hard-won liberties have disappeared.
The laws remain the same as before.
But acting on circulars from St. Pet
ersburg, the provincial governors have
begun an administrative campaign
against freedom of speech and of the
press whiph recalls the methods of the
late v lacheslay Plehve. July 16,
. every Liberal newspaper in Moscow,
Odessa and K arkoff J. as been fined at
least once. The Moscow "Parus' was
fined four times and in default of pay
ment of 9000 roubles, the editor was
cent to gaol.
A Kharkoff editress was sent to
gaol for three months for quoting the
London Times. For saying that "the
dissolution would affect Russia's
credit," the proprietor, editor and pub
Usher of another Kharkoff newspaper
were exiled.
In the smaller provincial towns the
Issues of the newspapers have been
seized as they came out. Newsboys
found selling them have beeD fined or
Imprisoned.
ma proclamations Issued by the local
governors are curiosities. In St. Pet
ersburg, publishers of "untrustworthy
interpretations of the government's
acts" are threatened with fines of
'11500. In Samara, an official procla
mation threatens with three months in
yra.ol any person "expressing opinions
which might lead to disaffection." In
the neighboring government of ara
toff, the residents are enjoined under
penalty "to preserve a loyal demeanor."
In Moscow alone, 1700 arrests of
suspects were made in three days. In
addition scores of innocent citizens
have been lined or imprisoned for ut
tering incautious remarks. In Kazan,
the police arrested two schoolgirls for
wrli.ng on a wall: "The Douma Is
dissolved. We will dissolve the government."
SECURE PERJURED EVIDENCE
High Italian Officials Accused of

charge is that of suborning witnesses,

Acclarlto was made to believe that his

A forged letter, purporting to come from
her, was delivered to the prisoner by the
governor of Santo Stefano jail, Angelelli,
under pressure from Doria and Canevelll.
The letter Implored Acclarlto to petition
for a royal pardon for the sake of his
Infant son.
Anirelelli told the prisoner that he might
hope for a pardon if he denounced as his
accomplices five men whose names were
placed before him. Acclarlto yielded with
regard to four of the names, but the
fifth, that of a personal friend, he re
fused to denounce.
When the four innocent men were
brought to trial, the plot was revealed.
They were all acquitted, while the pub
lic indignation against Angelelli resulted

J, Conovan Granted Y ear's Leave of Absence
If Htf Returns Within That Time He Will Be Given a Tree Vacation of
Ninety Days at Kelly's Butte.
J CONOVAN, or perhaps better
known as "Slobs" was awarded a
leave of absence of one year from
this city, by Judge Cameron in the Muni
cipal Court Friday morning. There does
not appear to be anything particularly
wrong about Conovan as far as physical
ability is concerned but his ideas about
industry and sobriety
would never result
in the financial bet
terment of any com
munity. . However,
Conovan has some
good points if they
may be termed such.
He Is generous to a
fault but since about
all he has is time,
those rewarded
somehow fail to ap
preciate the honor
th'us thrust upon
them.
Conovan is also
regular in his habits,
so regular that those
presiding at the
thirst - quenching
fountains can mark
his visits in advance.
ALfo being of a
friendly, if not af
fectionate disposition
he is a "good mixer"
and strangers warm
under his glad smile,
receiving him as one
among them only changing their attitude
after he has feasted upon their earnings
and in return for their favors given them
only the pleasure of his company.
Did Conovan's pockets jingle even In
termittently his welcome at the bar would
not be threadbare but there also his
coming has been a source of displeasure
to those in charge.
When arrested by Officer Kellar,
Conovan Informed him that he chose his
own company strengthening his statement
with a fistic display and several rounds of
Invectives that were a revelation to the
officer for said Kellar, "never have I
ever heard such language."
When brought before Judge Cameron,
Conovan stoutly declared he was a hard
working man but the Judge was not con
vinced. "It would do you good to spend a little
time at Kelly's Butte," said the Judge,
"Oh let me go anywhere but there your
honor."
"Will you leave town today?" queried
his municipal highness.
"Yes." said Conovan, "this afternoon."
"Very well," said the Judge, "but If

RECORD OF FOUR YEARS
Railroad Xow Double-Tracking Lino
to Serve 15,000 People, Where
a Short Time Ago Was
Scattering Settlement.
While Portland is growing in all direc
tions, perhaps the 'most remarkable ex
pansion is in the southeast. Here in a
district embracing the territory south of
the Powell Valley road, and a small sec
tion north of this road, for a distance of
two and a half miles and extending east
seven miles, more than 15,000 people have

made their homes within the past four
years. To those who have not visited
that district recently conditions are a
revelation.
The city is growing northward toward"
the Columbia River, but it has been
growing toward .the southeast with at
least equal vigor. Only about five years
ago the Mount Scott Railway was two
streaks of rust with a rickety car and
wheezy steam motor. The old railway
company that was succeeded by the O.
W. P. accepted it as a gift in order to
get access to the gravel pits at Arleta,
but now the Mount Scott line is overbur
dened with travel by the many thousands
who have made their homes in that ter
ritory. During the past year a much better
class of homes has been erected all
through this section ranging up to $3500.
The district is building two schoolhouses,
one at Arleta of 10 rooms, and one at
Creston of four rooms. The Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company has
recognized the growing importance of
this district and is laying down double
tracks through to the Junction with the
Estacada branch. Nothing short of a
double track will relieve the congestion
of travel over this branch, and then cars
must be operated every five minutes to
take careybf the travel morning and
evening.
Streets are being improved, sidewalks
laid and new churches built At a point
you return within a year's time you'll
have to break rock for 99 days."
MR. AND MRS. K. MARLOW paid a
visit to the Municipal Court to
answer a charge of assault and battery
upon the person of their landlady, Mrs.
Laura Gray.
The actions of the three in the court
room had a notice
able effect ori the
Judge's decision
much to the ap
parent disgust of the
complainant.
The keeping of a
rooming-house now
a days Is not such a
a troublesome busi
ness providing the
rooms are occupied
continually, but to
be bill collector In
connection with your
business would wear
holes in nerves of
steel.
Mrs. Laura Gray
seems to have been
in just such a posi
tion and being
naturally nervous it
is small wonder that
the inroads upon her
stock of. com -
plalsance should materially effect the tone
of her actions.
When called to the witness stand Mrs,
Gray was still in the third degree of agita
tion and gave to the court a story that
under different circumstances. Including
the mental condition of the witness would
have brought down the judicial wrath of
the court In unstinted quantities upon the
offenders.
"He slapped my face and knocked me
down and then slammed the door." said
Mrs. Gray, her voice rising in pitch and
power as she recited her wrongs.
"Did Mrs. Marlow strike you?" asked
the Judge.
"Did she?" countered the ireful matron.
"I should say she did, and slammed the
door in my face too." v
The defendants in their testimony made
a much better impression upon the Judge.
"I do not think Mrs. Marlow is guilty
of the charge," said the Judge. "Mr.
Marlow practically admits striking Mrs.
Gray, consequently the court finds him
guilty. I think the actions of this wom
an would be enough to enrage anybody,"
continued the Judge "From her conduct
in this court I can plainly see she would
he easy to get in trouble with.
"I'll make your fine $10, the lowest I
can give you."
ST- r -! lili s
called Nashville a two-story building has
been put up which serves well as a pub
lic hall for that neighborhood. The Meth
odist Presbyterian, Episopal, Congrega
tional, Christian and Evangelical denomi
nations have established churches. The
Presbyterians have two churches, the
Methodists two, and the Baptists have
one church building and another will soon
be built at Lents. '
There is agitation for annexation to
Portland, and undoubtedly a vote will be
asked for at the election in June, 1906. On
the whole the district will be better pre
pared for annexation than other sections
that have been annexed to Portland.
With so great, a growth the present wa
ter supply is almost sure to prove Inade
quate even this year, and it cannot be
increased without increasing the present
private plants. The owners hardly feel
Justified in making the outlay with the
prospects of annexation coming within a
year, for Bull Run water is wanted.
There is talk of a reservoir on the top of
Mount Scott from which to supply the
territory south from Powell Valley road.
Including Sellwood.
Along the elevated ground at Wood
stock southward for more than a
mile homes are being built.- and be
tween Woodstock and Kenilworth the
old Kelly donation land claim is being
covered with dwellings. Between
Kenlworth and Mount Scott, a distance
of four miles, is thickly covered with
homes. Foundations of cottages and
pretentious dwellings are being laid
everywhere. The only limit tof the
growth in this large district is the
lack of streetcar facilities.- The pres-

ent lines, the Mount Soott and Wood
stock, have been outgrown.
There was some effort to get the
Woodstock line extended from its pres
ent terminus eastward two miles, but
the movement has not proved a suc
cess. There will be further agitation
for the extension of this line the com
ing Winter, owing to the demand for
car facilities eastward from Wood
stock. A number of new tracts have
been opened both south and east of
Woodstock. However, it is probable if
the people do get streetcar facilities
they will have to raise a considerable
bonus.
Men with moderate means have gone
out there from the city, and built
homes, which they own. It is a sub
urb of home-makers. Practically all
the homes 'are neat, clean and well
kept, and gardens of vegetables and
flowers are seen about most of the
cottages. The rich, sandy soil yields
wen with a little irrigation.
The first home-building began in
this district when at Lents lots were
sold for $3 down and $3 a month Dav-
meiiLs, wimoui interest. It was
cheaper to buy a lot and put up a tent '
or rougn Doara snack than pay rent.
Hundreds took advantage of this od
portunity a few years ago, and many
lived in tents for more than a year
before they were able to put up a cot
tage, but tents and shacks have now
largely disappeared.
SEWER HELPS BIG DISTRICT
Brooklyn Benefited by Line to Cost
$242,000.
The Brooklyn sewer, in the south
east section on the East Side, is the
most important improvement under
way in that part of the city. It will
cost completed $242,000, and -the lat
erais on every street win cost even
more than the big conduit, but it is es
tlmated that for every dollar spent
two will be added to the value of the
adjacent property.
The Brooklyn sewer district Is a big
one, embracing several thousand acres,
in which at present there is no sewer
age of any sort. Only costly cesspools
are used in that thickly settled dis
trict. Just how- soon this big sewer
system will be completed cannot be
told at present, but work is progress
ing on the different branches. It
means much for this big district, which
has been slow to respond to the im
petus experienced in other portions of
the city.
Ail the fills across Stephens slough
are dependent on this sewer, as the
water in the slough must bo taken care
of before these embankments can be
thrown across the ravine. In some
portions of the district stps are al
ready being taken to lay laterale, so
as to be ready to connect up With the
main conduit. This action will tave
much time.
Waverly-Rlchmond property owners
have out petitions for laterals on sev
eral streets which are to be improved.

Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal it is because the blood is infect
ed with poisonous germs or some old blood taint which corrupts and pollutes
the circulation. Nothing is more trying than a non-healing, chronic old
nicer. The very fact that it resists all external applications, and ordinary
treatments, is good reason for alarm, for the same germ which produces
cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the
trouble be from any inherited taint. Surface treatment cannot reach the
trouble the blood is at fault and must be purified before a- cure can be hoped
for. In S. S. S. will be found a remedy for sores and ulcers of every kind.
It is a perfect blood purifier one that goes directly into the circulation and
promptly cleanses it of all impurities, poisons and taints. The ulcer can
never heal while the blood discharges into it the noxious matter with which
it is infected, but when S. S. S. has rid the blood of this cause and freshened
and built up the circulation the sore will heal naturally, and of its own ac
cord. S. S. S. begins at the. bottom and heals the place as it should be
healed and makes a permanent and lasting cure. Book on Sores and Ulcers
and any special medical advice desired will be sent free to all who write.

COLUMBIA STEEIj COMPAXI
. BUILDING NEAR LINN TON.
Plant on the Willamette Will Cost
$80,000, and 150 Men Will
Ee. Empoyed.
McNaughton, Raymond & Lawrence,
architects, are preparing plans for the
new plant of the Columbia Steel Com
pany, formerly called the Columbia En
gineering Works, to be erected on the
188-acre tract recently purchased on the
Willamette River, near Llnnton. The
land has a water frontage of 900 feet.
It is proposed to spend $80,000 on the new
plant, and, according to the plans, five
buildings will be erected. These are the
pattern storage building of two stories,
50x100 feet: pattern shop, 50x80 feet;
foundry, 250x116; machine shops, 60x100,
and the minor buildings.
Several of the buildings will be on the
water front and plies will be driven at
once for theae structures. It is expected
that the plant will be completed by Feb
ruary 1, 1908. To facilitate railway ship
ment, two spurs will be laid connecting
with the Northern Pacific.
Probably 150 skilled and unskilled labor
ers will be employed at the new plant,
and the Llnnton Realty Company is pre
paring to erect cottages for them. This
enterprise is one of the most important
undertaken for some time in Portland.
With ample space, the company can ex
pand Us business almost without limit.
The new turpentine plant which has
just been completed on the West Side at
St. Johns is one of the most important
industries that has recently been estab
lished near Portland. The building is In
the form of the letter "L," one section
being 70x52 and the other 72x52. and three
stories high. A water tower 60 feet high
has just been completed, with a capacity
of 10.000 gallons.
Twenty-three storage tanks are being
built, ranging in capacity from 800 to 1500
gallons, for the storing of the different
products, and there are also under way
five large copper stills for refining, of from
600 to KM) gallons capacity. Old Blabs and
trimmings from the sawmills and stumps
rich in pitch will be run through a cutter
and reduced to chips. The plant is there
fore a waste-saver.
Among the products will be tar, tur
pentine, tar oil, pitch, pitch oil, charcoal,
gas, wood alcohol and calcium acetate.
A spray for fruit trees is also to be pro
duced. The company is investing more
than $50,000.

This Paper
About two months ago a man came to my
offices and told a story of his experiences, which
is so typical of what the average patient goes
through before coming to me that I wish every
man could read it '
In the first place, this man was of
healthy appearance and he began
me he was never sick in bed for a single day DR. TATXOR
as far back as he could remember. His symp-n, Lendla Speclalls
. toms were lack of ambition, vim, energy and
power to concentrate his mind. He felt conscious of a state of physical
imperfection which embarrassed him and made him feel unfit to enjoy
society, and. as he expressed It. he was "played out all over."
Questioning, him as to what he thought caused his tremble, he
admitted excesses ' in early life, apd confessed to a slight disorder
contracted some five years past. By advice of well-meaning friends he
tried prescriptions which helped to a certain point, but failed to go
beyond that. His next step was to consult a doctor, and he sought one
with a large general practice and good reputation. The doctor cheered
him with the assurance that he would undertake the treatment of his
case, asked him a few questions and prescribed medicine, both for local
and internal use. For the first few weeks he improved so much that
he discontinued his visits to the doctor to stop the drain on his purse.
A little later he had a relapse which was very discouraging, especially
as he felt the weakness coming on which caused pains in the hack,
sleeplessness and general lassitude. He sought help from a specialist
for disorders like his own, but soon realized that he was In incompetent
hands. The specialist, who had been in business but a short time,
closed his offices and went away. Following this the sufferer was at
tracted by the claims of a doctor who told him that he must get next
to Nature, and that Nature was sewed up Just Inside of his electric
belts. It cost about $100 to find out that electricity would not help a bit
When All Others Failed
In a very skeptical and hopeless frame of mind this man came to
me. I examined him in a manner that he admitted he was never ex
amined before. I found the exact cause of the whole trouble, explained
It fully to him, together with my plan of treatment, and guaranteed
him a perfect and permanent cure, and offered to let him PAY WHEN
CURED. Last week he said he felt as good, sound and healthy, as
strong in vigor as he ever had in his life.
I proved to this man that the whole secret of my success in curing

my methods or my medicines. My knowledge of Men's Ailments is

Consultation Free
To men whose years are being lived in physical Imperfection as a
result of dissipation, whose lives are less than full and perfect lives
and who yearn to be the men that nature meant them to be, I extend an
earnest and sympathetic offer of consultation and advice. My experi

embarrassing questions. All Information' given you will have a direct
and vital bearing. If your symptoms are of no consequence I will tell
you so. If treatment is needed I will tell you its cost, and the time
that will in all probability be required to effect a complete cure. If I
feel any doubt as to' my ability to cure you, I will not take your case at
all. I will not urge my services upon you. If you see fit to place your
case in my care, every promise I make shall be fulfilled. If you do not,
you will be welcome to the information and suggestions given, and will
be Invited to call for further consultation absolutely free at any time.

PORTLAND, Or., July 27. (To the
Editor.) The author of the article en
titled "Where the Responsibility

on the company which owns the vessel.
What has the company got to do with
the vessel at sea? Does It tell its cap
tain to run into boats and disregard
the navigation laws? It matters very
little about hugging the coast or the

All that is required of the officers of
the boat is to be thoroughly acquainted
with the rules, and I can say that
nine out of every 10 officers are prac
tically ignorant of the rules of the road
code.
I have been to sea myself and have
visited nearly every port of conse
quence In the world, and some of my
superiors in every ship have been
utterly Incompetent,
Why should not Captain Doran be
blamed if he was on the bridge and
disregarded the signals as the San
Pedro people assert he did? There Is
very little else to know about where the
blame rests. Fog is no excuse for a
mishap like that. I will say right
here that there are fewer collisions in
foggy weather than in clear weather,
because ships are warned by fog sig
nals long before they come close to
each other, giving them a longer time
to keep out of the way. All that is
needed is a good ear and a little judg
ment. ARTHUR B. BANNER.
