BIG 4-STORY BLOCK
Ctlig ip ob Abraham Corier,
SO by 120 Feet
BUILT BY HON. J. B. BOOTH
Third Story on DonglFs National Bank
j Two Oilier New Buildings
I in Prospect
J One of the most Important realty
transactions In our city in a long
atime was announced tiday by Hon.
'J. H. Booth. By this purchase he
. becomes the owner of the Sol. Abra-
. ham block and adjoining grounds,
. with a frontage of 80 feet on Jack
son street and 120 feet on Oak
1 street, being the corner dlagonnlly
opposite the Douglas National Bank.
. This property has been owned by J.
. G. Mack, of Portland, for some years
past, together with his brother-ln- j
, law, Morris Abraham. It includes
the quarters now occupied by the
Star theatre and Kidd's grocery, and
tho adjoining vacant lot where 1.
Abraham's former store stood. The
consideration, while not made pub
lic, is understood to be upwards of ,
25,000.
Will build 4-Story Block.
In connection with his announce
ment of purchase of this property,
Mr. Booth slated to a Review rep
resentative that he Is planning to
erect a modem four-story business
block thereon. This block wilt cover
the entire area of the premises,
80x120 feet. Part of the walls of the
present structure may be utilized,
but a now front will be put in and
the Oak Blreet frontage extended 20
foot rurlher west than at present.
An entrance will be made at that
,Mc as well ns on Jackson street.
Here also will be the basement en
trance. Tho entire structure Is to
be heated. by steam and be equipped
with a modern elevator system, as
well as all other modern conveni
ences. In size this structure will be
more than double that of the new
Masonic temple just, completed In
this city and will be fur the largest
business block in Southern Oregon
having tour full stories and base
ment. It has been known among a few
people recently that Mr. Booth was
negotiating for this property and
during that time he has received ap
plications for quarters from several
prospective tenants. When asked
further about his building plans Mr.
Booth stated that in case his brother.
Hon. R. A. Booth, takes an Interest
with him in this building it will be
erected during the present year. If
he handles It alone It may he early
next year before the building Is
under wnv. In either case the struc
ture will "go up. and present indica
tions are that It will go this year,
although Mr. Booth could not say
positively as to this until he hears
from ills brother.
Third Story on Hank.
Another important building move
ment was also announced by Mr.
Booth for the present year. This Is
the addition of a third story to the
Douglas National Bank building.
An architect Is expected here at an
early date to draw the plans there-!
for. The larger portion of this floor
Is to be occupied by Drs. Seely,
Sether & Stewart, who will also re
tain their present offices on the
ground floor. Being in the estab
lished business center of the city
these two structures will give Rose
burg a decidedly metropolitan ap
pearance. They will also further
demonstrate Mr. Booth'senterprlse as
a citizen and business man and his
well-grounded faith in Roseburg's
future development, as well as its
present sound basis as a business
center.
Other Buildings Planned.
Concurrently with the deal Involv
ing the Abraham block, there is an
nounced two other sales ot property
In the business district on Jackson
street, both of which mny be fol
lowed by the erection of brick build
ings this year.
One of these sales is from Harry
C. Slocum to Oscar F. Snolson, con
voking a tract 40x100 feet, lituated
between Adams and Redflold'i soft
drink stand and the brick offices of
the local water and light company.

The other deal In Jackson street
realty referred to involves property
of the same dimensions as that sold

EARLY ADJUSTMENT LIKELY
Miners Demand 5 Cents Mure Per Tod
Banker Moore's Case Now In
Hands of Jury
Special to The Evening Review.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 31. tour
hundred thousand coal miners In the
bituminous fields between Pennsyl
vania and Oklahoma will strike to
morrow, according to A. .1. Moore
head, president of the Illinois Coal
Operators' Association. Moorehead
stated that In Illinois at least every
coal mine would be closed pending
an adjustment of the wage scale.
Tho terms proposed by the miners
for the continuation of work after
the expiration of the present agree
ments at midnight will admit of no
compromise bo far as wages are con
cerned. Ilrlefly, the'niiners demand that
all operators agree to pay Increased
wages of 5 cents a ton on pick-mined
screen coal, with proportionate ad
vances for other methods of mining
and outside labor, as a prerequisite
to negotiations on the other ques
tion. With the advance In pay as
sured, work may be continued In the
mines affected pending solution of
the minor points, provided the Na
tional executive board of the union
approves action to this effect by dis
trict officers.
The National hoard is made the
final power so fur as tho union Is
concerned, but it is expressly for
bidden to modify the wuge demands.
A provision Is made that agree
ments may be signed by stntes, dis
tricts or groups of districts. This
may have a beneficial effect In Ohio
and Indiana. Only a few operators
in these states, ft is thought, will
hold out against the advance. The
provision may also work beneficially
in the Southwestern fields.
The fight, however, of greatest
moment is foreseen in tho Pennsyl
vania and Illinois districts, which, It
is feared, will be completely tied up.
That means a fight in the two
largest bituminous fields In the
united States. Pennsylvania's an
nual production Is 150,000,000 tons
and Illinois 50.000, 000 tons. Ohio's
production Is thirty-five million
tons, giving employment to tiO.OOO
miners.
