8 LADD ESTATE TO BUILD BIG BLOCK Skyscraper Will Soon Go Up on Site at Third and Wash- ington Streets. TENANTS TOLD TO VACATE A rata Bros.' Announce 12 or 14 Story Structure for Sixth and , Burnside and Falling Es tate?WHl Build. The northwest comer of Third and "Washington streets Is to be Improved with a modern office building of the sky scraper type In "the near future. This valuable corner is owned by the Ladd estate and while no verification from W. M. Ladd could be obtained last night of the intention of the company to erect the building, It was learned from the tenants that notice had been served to vacate by May 1. The corner is now Occupied by a two-story brick building, known as the" Canterbury block. The report; was to the efCect that the new structure la to occupy the entire 100x100 feet, at least 10 stories high, and on ac count of the wealth of the owners it is reasonable to- surmise that the structure will be of the finest class. Details Not Vet Heady. The corner store Is occupied by. A. & C. Keldenhoimer, who have had the loca tion since the building was completed in the early 90s. No particulars were obtainable last night as to the type of building In tended, and these probably will not be announced until the architect s plans have been presented and accepted by the estate, but in all probability the building will be a steel-frame, class A structure. The 'corner Is such a valu able piece of property it is unlikely the owners would consider anything but a strictly modern, up-to-date struc ture.: ' ... Another large building to be erected soon is that of Arata Bros., which Is to be built at the southeast corner of Sixth ahd Burnside. This building Is to be class A In construction in every particular- It is to occupy 55x100 feet on ground the Aratas have owned for about four years. Leases of tenants now . occupying stores on the corner will not expire for several months, and when they expire It Is the Intention to begin the erection of the new building. In any event, S. Arata said yesterday work of construction will start In not over 12 months from now. Contracts Let Next Summer. Mr. Arata added that contracts would bo made during the Summer for 11 building material, including steel for the frame, and would be assembled In Portland so that when the work of construction begins everything will be In readiness to rush the work to com pletion. Mr. Arata says that when once started he intends to have the work pushed along night and day. and fully expects to make a record In rapid buiiding. The height of the new building has not been yet decided upon, the owner saying that it is to be either 12 or 14 stories. The exterior walls are to be white terra cotta, "This new building is to be erected with our own money and not by a syn dicate," said Mr. Arata last night. Emil Schacht & Son are preparing the plai.s for the new building and expect to have them completed before a great while.. From an authoritative source It was learned yesterday that the Failing building at the southeast corner of Third and Washington is to be replaced with a skyscraper, but Just when the Improvement Is to be made has not been determined. Leases are understood to run for two or three years to come, but these may be adjusted amicably in case the estate decides to begin construction before they expire. Goldsmith & Co. report the sale yes terday of the property at the north west corner of Fourteenth and Davis streets to a local buyer. The lot Is 75x WOMAN'S EXCHANGE HELPS WOMEN TO LEARN TO HELP THEMSELVES MinBearlrtt. Failing Telh of Objects, 44 W HAT on earth do the ladies do with all the money they make at the Exchange?" Ingenuously enough, the above ques tion was asked, according to Miss Henri etta Falling, chairman of the Woman's Exchange committee, by a patron of the organization. "And that' is why." said Miss Failing, "1 am always glad of an opportunity to explain the real purposes and work of our hard-working, hard -thinking little club of women who are striving with might and main to help their discouraged sis ter . to help themselves. Especially at this time, when the Portland Woman's Exchange has bee"n named as one of the beneficiary organizations for which e. fund Is to be raised at the approaching Kirmess. I feel that the general public should know, a. little more about our work and 'what it is accomplishing. I am a little afraid that, among those who have given little thought to the matter, there Ms an impression that the Woman's Ex change is In business to make money. Just think of It!" The energetic little philanthropist, who hs for four years given much thought and. during the greater part of the period, several hours of her time every day, to the affairs of the organization of which she had spoken, reached deep into a cavernous bag of soft leather and drew forth a bulging packet of reports. By means of these she made' the financial machinery of the Exchange as an open book to the Interviewer, i "You see it is this -way." she said, or dering a social pot of tea. and launching inio the subject dearest to her heart. "Many women want to earn money. They are unfitted, perhaps, by education and training to go out into the world and bat tle with it for a livelihood. In a great many cases, too, they are handicapped by s family perhaps little children, or an invalid relative so that it is impos sible for them to go out into the midst of the industrial whirlpool. It is this class of women that the Woman's Exchange desires most to help, although one of its strongest sentiments Is for more home work for all women who must toll, the kind of homo work which -will permit the woman to have a real home and keep it together.

THOMPSON ESTATE TO BCHD Will Soon Improve Its .Holdings in Portland. Lewis c. Thompson, one of the heirs of the late R. R- Thompson and a mem ber of the Thompson pstate Company, of San Francisco, was In Portland yester day on his way from visiting his ranch of 2300 acres at Carlton in Yamhill County. He attended to some business at the ranch connected with a right of way of a road through his farm. Mr. Thompson had not been In Portland for several years and expressed himself as much impressed with the growth of the city and the high character of the build ings erected In the business districts. When asked concerning Improvements to be made on the valuable block, at Third and Pine, and other land in the vicinity, he said that he had talked over plans with C K. Henry, the Oregon rep resentative of the company, but. that nothing definite had been decided upon further than that the property is to be built upon with high-class buildings in the near future. He said that in com pany with Mr. Henry he had examined the different pieces owned by the com pany and is convinced that the neighbor hood is ripe for the class of Improve ments recommended by the Oregon agent.

Miss Falling said in explanation, "we deduct a commis sion, 10 per cent of the sale price, and we have even been criticised for this, yet this Is necessary if we are to keep the Exchange upon a basis that will be any where near self-supporting, and as we always endeavor to get the very best prices for our consignors, the deduction of this commission does not encroach too much upon her profits. In addition to selling the consignor's work. too. you see we are teaching all these women better business methods, how. to buy sewing ma terials and the ingredients for "their cakes and puddings cheaply, the importance of keeping up to a high standard, and many other things which eventually make them rnuch more capable and independent. Many women who have appealed to us have found a means by which thev can make a comfortable livelihood, and yet not have to leave their helpless little babies in the care of neighbors or be separated from them, as would happen If the chil dren were kept in some philanthropic in stitution.

This is because all the Women's Exchanges strive so hard to keep up the standard of cookery and insist that the consignors keep the standard well In mind.

REPAIR WORK IS RUSHED Flames Damage Central Switchboard So Badly That 14,000 Subscrib ers Are Affected and Tfew Cable, 9 Made Necessary. Fire burned a big hole in the labyrinth or wires leading into the main switch board of the Pacific Telephone Company early yesterday morning and the whole West Side was cut off from telephone communication. About 14,000 telephones were affected and It was announced last night by Manager Hickman that it will require until Tuesday morning to restore the service to normal. Rush repair work Is being conducted at the headquarters building. West Park and Alder streets. Three shifts of elec tricians are working day and night to connect new cables. Such progress had been made last night that trunks were cut through between the main office and the East Side central office, and by this morning it Is hoped to have 1600 tele phones throughout the West Side district restored to service. Partial Service by Tomorrow. Manager Hickman expects by tomorrow morning to have 76 per cent of the tele phones put out of service by the fire In commission again, and by Tuesday morn, ing he expects to have all the telephones working. A few loose ends may still remain to be connected up, but he hopes to have things so well along by Tues day that the public will not be Incon venienced longer. Never during the more than a quarter of a century that the Pacific Telephone Company has been operating in Port land has there been such a demoralization of service. During the sliver thaw of 190?, the company suffered heavily tout instruments put out of com mission by the wrecking of lines were almost wholly confined to the East Side, where sleet damage was greatest. The business district, and In fact almost the entire West Side Were free from extensive trouble. Property loss at the telephone building is not heavy. Just how extensive this has been has not yet been figured. This loss Is covered by fire insurance. Toll telephones will, of course, show smaU earnings during the three days the com pany is restoring the service, and long distance calls will be lessened also. How ever, the greatest loss resulting from the accident is to subscribers who are cut off from tho ordinary telephone communi cation, and this means lost bust npsa In I many instances. Origin of Fire Unknown. How yesterday morning's fire started Is a mystery. Telephone officials do not understand what caused the blaze About 4:50 A. M. the fire was noticed and electricians at the headquarters buildirug tried to put it out with fire extinguishers at hand. Failing in this a call was sent to police headquarters and a chemical engine responded. The mass of wires and Insulation was then burning brightly, but the firemen tore the top of! the switchboard and dumped In chemicals that extinguished the blaze. Whatever caused the blaze was con sumed by the flames, so that its source could no be learned with any degree of certainty. Manager Hickman said many th-ncs might cause the fire, and the officials were unable to assign the exact source. It Is believed most likely however, that wires became crossed' causing sparks that ignited the appara tus, or that foreign current reached the cables, setting them ablaze. Portland people never realized before how necessary the telephone Is to con duct business, for never before has there been such a curtailment of serv ice. An i nusually large number of peo ple had to do their -.hopping In person throughout the day because they could J t order by telei hone as usual, and all who had errands to attend to were forced to brave the rainy weather. Early yesterday the riome Tel finh rr HF.T.Pt.es.s by Kirmess. tablishing their standard, have slyly slipped back into evil ways, resorting perhaps, to the use of case eggs, oleol margaine for butter, or some such trick Once, even, we discovered a consignor fresnfrostlng- her old cakes and put, ting them up for sale as new. Of course suoh deceptions would soon ruin our rep utation and our business, but the com plaints corns in promptly enough, and by strict surveillance wo manage to keep such unfortunate things pretty well down to the iraiTiimnm. pur lunoheons have become famous, and one of our largest sources of revenue Is the baking we do, to order, for din ners and tea parties given by women who know our cookery and patronize us - "Then," concluded Miss Failing, "there Is the other side of the subject. How fortunate for the busy housewife, wheri the cook deserts her, to be able to go where she knows she will get bread, cake n.s jeuies as good as if made in her own kitchen, or for the mother of a fam ily to be able' to purchase dainty, ex quisitely made clothing for the babies Our business strives to be of mutual ben efit to consignor and consumer. Our staff at the exchange has its interest at .Z'?' 1 hlnk every employe thinks she is doing something more than a day's work to get a living, for she feels that she is co-operating with her sisters "One of our greatest needs, at pres ent, is a new and suitable location We must move soon from our present Quar ters at 133 Tenth street, for our lease ex pires and we cannot secure a renewal Moving costs money, you know, and so it is fortunate for us that we are to share in the fund which Is to be raised by the Kirmess next month. We have been a long time struggling up to where we now are. but we hope to set ourselves upon our feet, with perhaps a surplus fund for an extension of the work by means of the money that is to be raised for us at the Kirmess."

Fifth and Stark Company, through manager Godfrey, of fered the Pacific Company all possible assistance In getting- the system to working again. Men, apparatus and the -se of -the Home telephones, wher ever possible, were tendered and offers were made to Install automatic Instru ments in the ottlces of Pacific subscrib ers at cost of intlallation only, without charge for service. These offers were declined with thanks, the Pac.fic offi cials realizing that time would be saved by rushing their own repairs rather than connecting up an auxiliary or tem porary system, and plenty of workmen and materials were already on hand to effect the necessary repairs. Fifty-seven Operators Idle. The fire occured at the most unfortu nate spot in the whole switchboard, coming as it did In the initial ssction, near where all subscribers' lines enter. The multiple destroyed isolated all tele phones connected with the whole board and threw 22 sections, worked by 57 operators, out of commission. Some of the operators were back at their places last night and more will go on duty again today. The East Side service was not harmed by the fire. Residents In that section of the city could still communicate with each other or call up West. Side tele phones but those on the West Side could not call anyone. The long-distance busi ness originating outside of the city went on as usual without interruption. How ever, West Side subscribers could not get the long-distance operator. Atout 000 cables, each carrying 50 wires, will have to be spliced before normal service is resumed. All the repair men who could work In the small space of the switchboard affected were splicing wires all day yesterday and last night. .They looked like gigantic spiders spinning wire webs. The day force was relieved early In the afternoon and other men took their places. The latter worked until midnight, when fresh forces came on and this shift will work until 7 o'clock this morning, when others will take up the seemingly endless task of splicing the innumerable cables. Manager Hickman had a busy day directing the repair work and answering questions. His assistants were in the midst of the group of busy electricians and the only ones taking it easy at the headquarters building were the "hello" girls, . who had little to do. With a nfuch smaller number of telephones working, they had fewer connections to make and could take it comparatively easy. More and more calls are coming in hourly, however, as the cables are spliced and the wires connected up so that by to morrow the operating-room will resume an almost normal appearance again. "LftDY"BARBR PERSISTENT RUTH WINFTEIiD RESENTS IN TERFERENCE IN AFFAIRS. Ejects Daughter of Man. Paying Her Attention Who Had' Come to Remonstrate. Miss Ruth Winfleld. a female barber, with a shop at 66 Fourth street, was ar rested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Constable Kiernan on compraint of Miss Corinne Link, charging assault and bat tery. Back of the complaint lies a story of domestic infelicity. John Link, Corinne's father, foreman of the Portland Lumber Cernpany, has been paying the Winfleld woman. It is said, considerable attention, and there by causing his wife not a little mental anguish In consequence. Not long ago she learned of his infatuation, and Link promised he would not again meet his tonsorial charmer. Yesterday, however, his 17-year-old daughter, sus pecting that he was still under the spell of the Winfleld woman, followed him to the shop of the barberess and upbraided him for breaking his promise. The seductive proprietress thereupon, so the story goes, took the girl by the shoulders and pushed her forcibly out of t. - shop. Later Corinne swore out a complaint and the arrest was made. The woman admitted she had often gone about with Mr. Link, but dtd not know he was a married man. She re marked, however! afterwards, that the "old man."! meaning Link, would have to put up the ball money. The woman was released on payment of 120 bail, and will be given a chance to prove that she is not an affinity when her case Is called tomorrow morn ing in Municipal Court New United Electric Railway To Harborton.

"I find a Wonderful improvement In business conditions in New York since my last visit there in November." said J. L. Bowman, proprietor of the Browns ville Woolen Mils, yesterday. He had just returned from one of his regular trips East on business connected with the manufacture or clothing from the product of the mill here. In connection with that feature of his business he said after making a trial of manufacturing clothing in Portland, both for stock and cuBtom tailoring, he had found that bet ter results were obtained by sending the cloth East and having it manufactured there. He said that from the train he had no ticed on his last previous trip numbers of factories of different kinds apparently shut down and there were other evidences of dull times. On this trip all was changed, for even at night factories were going full blast and the feeling in busi ness circles was excellent. "I found upon inquiry," said Mr. Bow man, "that the product of all woolen mills in the East was sold up for this season, which in the trade means next Fall goods. The American Woolen Com pany, which controls 30 mills, is running them all to capacity. The booking of orders this year. I understand, amounts to $27,000,000 against J9.000.000 last year, and this tremendous business has been done since opening samples. "I find merchants and cloth manufac turers are not scared over possible reduc tion of the tariff. They say they will simply readjust their business to suit new conditions and go right along. Of course, low tariff or free wool would af fect woolgrowers, perhaps seriously, but manufacturers can and must continue In business, regardless of the tariff. "I was much gratified to find that Port land is very much on the map as seen through Eastern eyes. Formerly when I visited the East I was frequently morti fied to have people ask questions about Oregon and Portland, that proved their ignorance concerning out Btate and city. That is all changed now. I was fre quently asked about railroad develop ment in this state and about buildings in Portland, and I felt quite at home when I noticed on bills of fare In restaurants 'Oregon apples.' Our apples are known In New York almost as well as at home, only It looked rather high to find our ap ples quoted at 10 cents apiece.
