Frcncli Bark la Port.
Contractor J. H. Roberts, of the firm or
Alien &. Roberts, which was so success
ful in talcing the Columbia River light
ship from the beach, returned yesterday
from the scene of the stranding of the
bark Baroda on the Oregon coast near the
Coqullle ttlver. Mr. Roberts brings back
a. very encouraging report of the proba
bility of floating the vessal In good order.
A visit to the wreck disclosed the fatt that
it would be impossible to save the vessel
by the same methods as were employed on
the lightship, that is, by dragging her
through the sand and launching her Into
the river. This was made impossible by
reason of a rocky strip for three miles
south of the river. The Baroda lies nine
miles south of the Coauille River and is
embedded 7 feet 6 Inches In the sand. Her
bow points to the north, and until Friday
night she- was held in position by the porl
anchor, to which't was attached 120 -fathoms
of chain.
On his return yesterday 3Ir. Roberts re
ceived a telegram from Captain 3Iarr.
who is standing by the ship, saying that
the heavy surf Friday night carried away
the port caole, a,nd the ship was 60 feet
farther north and 20 feet farther In shore,
with the sand leaving her. In anite ot
this latest change In ber position, Mr.
Roberts is confident that the vessel can
"be saved, and he will make an effort in
case satisfactory arrangements are made
with the underwriters to take the vessel
out to sea. As it is impossible to drag
her over the rocky strip mentioned into
the Coqullle River, this will be the only
method possible, and Mr. Roberts Is not
weakened in his plans by the failure of the
men who attempted to take the Glenmo
rag and Potrimpos from the "Washington
shore by a similar method.
The crew of 20 men which was on the
vessel when she struck has been sent to
San Francisco and paid off. Captain Marr
and three apprentice boys have been liv
ing In a tent near the wreck, but in order
to be in closer communication with his
owners and the underwriters, Captain
Marr will now make his headquarters at
Uandon. It Is expected that arrangements
for floating the vessel will be perfected
within a few days.
STEAMER. KVARVEJf ARRIVES.
California & Oriental Liner Conies to
Portland for Cargo.
Five big steamships with a combined
carrying capacity of over 25,000 tons have
reached Portland already this month from
across the Pacific, and the month is still
young. The latest arrival, the Norwegian
steamship Kvarven, came in yesterday
morning and will load a. cargo of flour
and lumber for Hong Kong and way ports.
The Kvarven is in the service of the Cali
fornia & Oriental Steamship Company,
and comes to P. F. DuFlon, local agent
of the company. Portland has an estab
lished line with regular sailing dates for
the Orient, but is always called on to
supply cargoes for other lines less favor
ably situated, and the Kvarven has made
a number of trips to this port. The steam
ers preceding her at this port since Sep
tember 1 were the Tyr, Knight Compan
ion, Glamorganshire and Palatlnia.
The Tyr got away for "Vladivostork witn
a full cargo last week. The Palatlnia will
complete a full cargo of hay and GoVern
irfent stores for Manila the latter part
of the present week, and the Knight Com
panion will get away for the Orient full
to her capacity on schedule time, Septem
ber 28. The Glamorganshire is loading
wheat for Europe. The Oceano, which ar
rived in the river the lattor part of Au-Kastr-is
nlshJo- off a 4,000,0C0-foot cargo
of lumber at Astoria and will sail in a.
lew days. 3s a steamship port, Portland
is making more rapid strides than ever
betore, and during the current year will
dispatch at least 50 foreign steamships in
addition to the regular lihers.
AXOTHER BIG CARGO.
i
German Bark Ecnaclor ClenrM ami
Will Go Down Fully Loaded.
The German bark Ecuador cleared yes
terday for Queenstown or Falmouth for
orders with 134.54G bushels of wheat,
valued at ?75,34G. She was dispatched by
Kerr, Gifford & Co. and will leave down
the river today, drawing 22 feet 6 inches.
The nver Is in very good shape, consid
ering the low stage of the water, and the
Hilston, drawing 22 feet S inches, went
through withsut delay. There is a slight
disposition in the usual quarters to mis
represent the cause of the grounding of
the steamship Oceano. This accident was
not the fau of the channel, as Captain
Bailey, with the steamer Harvest Queen,
took a sailing ship drawing more water
than the Oceano right past that steamer
while she was lying out of the channel
where the ipilot had placed her.
The Oceano was in charge of a pilot
whose previous experience had been con
fined to lhjht-draft coasting steamers,
-which find plenty of water -anywhere In
the riverand as the Oceano was drawing
about four feet more than the coasting
steamers, she naturally grounded in chan
nels whore the coasters did not touch.
The pilots who have been handling the
deep-draff steamers were all busy at the
time, or there would have been no delay
in taking the Oceano down.
ASHORE ASD DISMASTED.
Ttto Portland. Grain Ships in Trouble
Xcar the End of Their Voyage.
Last? season's grain fleet from this port
both coming and going, proved to be a
very -unlucky one, and by the time the
final returns are in the underwriters will
have a pretty big bill to foot The lat
est victims of the elements are the German
bark Paul Isenberg and the British bark
Thistle. Merchants' Exchange advices yes
terday reported the Isenberg as going
ashore at the entrance of Queenstown
liarbor Sunday night during a gale. She
was floated wit'h assistance, and after
ward anchored in Queenstown harbor, and
"was not thought to be much damaged.
At the same time the British bark Thistle
was reported passing Lizard with fore"
and main topgallantmast and mizzen ttop
gallantmast gone. The Isenberg had
made a very fair passage up to the time
of the disaster, and was but 129 days out
from this port This Thistle, even In her
crippled condition, was not doing very
bad woTk, for she was out? but 351 days
yesterday.
The British -ship Talus arrived at Fal
mouth last Saturday, after a passage of
140 days. The Paul Isenberg is the sec
ond vessel of the May fleet from Portland
end -over half a dozen of the April ships
are still to be neard from.
SMALLEST GRAIX SHIP.
The smallest grain ship that has entered
the Columbia for many years arrived in
Sunday, the diminutive French bark Hcn
xiettc coming in after a good passage of
18 days from Honolulu. The Henriette
is of but SJsS tons net register, and car
ries less than 900 tons of cargo. Ships
of this size were quite common in Port
land 2S years ago, but it has been nearly
a decade since any craft as small as
the Henriette has' put in an appearance
bere to load grain. It would require 10
vessels of the size of the Henriette to
carry nouKh carg-o to make a full load
for the Wg Oriental liners Indravelll and
Indrapura. The Henriette will come up
the river tomorrow, and will attract al
most as much attention on account of her
size as some of the big record-breakers
-which drop in quite frequently, now that
there Is plenty of water in the river.
i
Loj? Raft's Loxjj? Trip.
The log raft is making a long trip be-
tween the Columbia River and San Fran
cisco. It left the Columbia River 10 days
ago, and was over a week getting down
to Point Arena. She passed that point
last Friday night, and It Is expected that
she will reach San Francisco some time
today. A very heavy sea was kicked up
by a gale last Thursday, and it is thought
that the big pile of logs received pretty
rough handling; but it will probably get
through in some kind of shape, leaving
the usual number of direlicts floating
around as a menace to all kinds of craft.

BORNE TO THE CAPITAL
(Continued from First 'Ease.)
tribute. At East Aurora, the first town
through which the train passed, the inhab
itants had been augmented by' thousands
from the surrounding country. The coun
try schools along the way let out, and the
children the President loved so well in
life were there to see his dead body pass.
The train slowed down at every station
to allow the people lined up on either side
to get a better view of the flag-covered
casket. The population of the little towns
along the way, like Holland, Arcade,
Frankllnvllle and Hinsdale, was tripled
and quadrupled. The towns seemed sud
denly to grow into cities. As the train
slowed up the mourners behind the cur
tained windows of the train could hear
the tolling bells.
Olean was reached at 10:29. There were
3000 people at the Pennsylvania station as
the train came to a stop.
WHEN HARRISBURG WAS REACHED
Town Turned Out and Sang "Nearer,
My God, to Thee," and "America."
ON BOARD THE. FUNERAL TRAIN,
BALTIMORE, Sept. 16. After leaving
Willlamsport, the train ran through
stretches of farming country, dotted here
and there with small manufacturing
towns. At Milton all work was suspend
ed, and the town turned out en masse at
the station and lined the railroad track.
At the busy little town of Sunbury, the
shops closed down for a time, and the
brawny workmen lined up in their over
alls, with serious faces and hats in hand.
All ages and conditions of people joined
in the tribute the 'children with tiny
flags topped with knots of black; crip
ples on crutches, and babes held above
the crowd for a sight they might never
see again It had been the intention to
run through Sunbury without a stop, but
such were the importunities of the towns
people that the train pulled up for a
moment between solid lines of people.
In the 50 miles from Sunbury to Har
rieburg me route skirted the placid Sus
quehanna; and the vistas of green-clad
slope and peak gave place to a rich farm
ing country. The river men were aware
of the coming of the train. A ponderous
dredge halted in its operations, and the
men lined the deck of the unwieldy craft.
At a little town across the river the. pop
ulace had emptied the wharfs and could
be seen straining for a view of the speed
ing train. Further on,' a homely farm
house had its little porch looped with
black, and underneath were gathered the
old and young of the household with sor
rowing faces. At one cross road hun
dreds of vehicles were drawn up, with
country people standing In them, evi
dently showing that some near-by town
had thus sought a point of vantage near
the track. Approaching Harrisburg, fac
tory hands again lined the track. The
rooftops of buildings were alive with peo
ple. Flags were half-masted and em
blems of mourning were at every hand.
Hundreds of men and omen crowded the
tops of freight cars. Within the station
the people were banked in thousands-,
surging through all the approaching
streets as far as the eye could reach.
From a huge viaduct spanning the track
countless faces peered down intp the car
windows. The tolling of the church bells
could be heard, and as the train entered
the station the shrill notes of a bugle
sounded taps. Despite the vigilance of the
guards, women pushed through the train
and pleaded at the windows for any trliie
the cars might yield as a memento of this
eventful trip. Just as the train stopped
a great choir, ranged tier on tier on the
station steps, began "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," and then as the train pulled out
the strains of "My Country, 'Tis of
Thee." Printed slips were handed to the
car windows, giving the lines of the two
beautiful hymns, deeply bordered in black.
Companies D and I, Eighth Regiment,
National Guard of the Potomac,- and the
Governor's troops were drawn up along
the track and stood at "Present Arms"
as the train passed through.
Before the train reached here the crush
at the station was so great that the mil
itia was called by the railroad authori
ties to drive the crowd back. It is esti
mated 0,000 persons were crowded in and
about the station to see the train. Gov
ernor and Mrs. Stone were In the crowd,
but they were unable to get near the
train. The local G. A. R. posts also turned
out to do honor to the memory of the
dead President. Business throughout the
city was very generally supended from 3
until 5 o'clock, and the Courthouse bell
and numerous other bells tolled during
the period.
A remarkable spectacle was presented
as the train moved across the long bridge
spanning the Susquehanna from Harris
burg. Both banks of the stream up and
down for miles teemed with legions of
people. From the brink of the stream
they were In solid masses to the trees
far in the background. On the bridge
iteself urchins had .clamored into the
tangle of steel at the aides of the roof.
On the surface of the river, in a flotilla
of rowboats and yachts, hundreds more
looked up at the train of death. On the
far side of the bridge another dense crowd
lined the tracks, and with bare heads
peered into the catafalque car., Again at
York the train moved for a half mile be
tween avenues of solid humanity and win
dows and housetops alive with people. By
this time the sun was getting low, and
among the throngs were hundreds of
workmen with their dinner pails. Every
where the same scenes of honor and rev
erence that were gone before were re
enacted. BALTIMORE PASSED IX THE NIGHT.
Many People on Hand and a Profu
sion of Flowers Put Into the Cars.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. Night came
on as the train sped from New York to
Baltimore without a stop, and in the
darkness only the flickering lights on the
way and the tolling bells of the station
gave evidence that the manifestations of
sorrow were still going on. As the train
dre wlnto Baltimore black masses of peo
ple could be seen ranged up on the huge
viaducts which span the line of the road,
and at every street crossing a living tide
surged up "to the train. Nearing the sta
tion the locomotive literally plowed its
way among flowers, for great masses of
blossoms had been strewn along the path
way of the train. Inside the station the
iron railing held back a surging multitude,
while within the rail the entire force of
the city postofflce was drawn up at one
side of the track, with banners wound
with crepe, and the force of the Custom
House on the side. In front of the crowd
stood Mayor Hayes with his sister, each
bearing great .clusters of roses and palms
as a tribute of their city to be placed on
the bier of the dead President As the
flowers were passed within the train the
notes of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," again
arose. A moment later the train 'was off
for Its final destination..
At Baltimore the entire make-up of the
train was reversed, the catafalque car
now being at the front, while that of Mrs
McKinley and the relatives, "President
Roosevelt and the Cabinet and public offi
cials followed in the order named. It was
shortly before 8:30 o'clock when the dis
tant lights of the National capital came
,into view. Now the preparations for dis
embarking the casket began. The stal
wart soldiers and sailors who were to bear
it from the car were summoned to their
posts. As the train ran through the sub
urbs the knots of people along the way
gradually swelled to hundreds and then to
thousands. At 8:40 the train swept into
the station, around which a great con-
course was waiting to receive their dead.
At Williainsport.
ON BOARD FUNERAL TRAIN, Wil
llamsport, Pa., Sept 16. At Renovo ropes
had been stretched to keep back the
crowds which surged through the neigh
boring streets A big flag with Presi
dent McKinley's picture framed in crape
J wag strung from corner to corner of the
station, and In front of It were hundreds
of school children, their hats in their
hands and their little faces grave. Thjs
was the terminus of one of the railroad
divisions, and the train hands were all
lined up with bared heads. After leav
ing Renovo the train passed through a
more thickly populated country, and the
crowds grew denser. Half-masted flags
were on every schoolhouse and the bells
of the churches tolled dolefully as the
funeral train sped by.
President Roosevelt lunched in the din
ing car of the train 'with Secretary Root
at 1:30. The members of the Cabinet
and other distinguished personages aboard
the train had preceded him into the diner.
Mrs. McKinley and her Immediate party
remained in the car Olympla, which was
provided with its own special dining car
service.
At Willlamsport, which was reached at
2:30, there was a remarkable demonstra
tion, the feature of which was the pre
sentation of an immense floral offering
by 5000 school children. It was received
by Colonel T. C. Bingham, the President's
aid. He stood on the platform of the
observation car, in which the catafalque
lay exposed to view, and the scene was
profoundly Impressive.
At Lock Haven the young ladles of the
city lined up along the track and strewed
the path of the dead with flowers.
At Port Allegheny.
ON BOARD FUNERAL TRAIN, Port
Allegheny, Pa., Sept. 16. Mrs. McKinley
was prevailed upon to He down soon after
the btart was made. President Roosevelt
was quartered In a drawing-room in the
car Hungary with Secretary Loeb. Ho
busied himself with fetters and tele
grams, and with the innumerable ques
tions which required Immediate answer.
The members of the Cabinet Individually
cared for the more pressing business re
quiring their attention.
CONSIDERATION JFOR THE G. A. R.
Roosevelt Glad to Have a Committee
Accompany the Remains.
WILLIAMSPORT. Pa., Sept. 16. The
presence of five veterans of the G. A. R.
on the funeral train developed an inter
esting incident showing the considerate
attitude of President Roosevelt toward the
old soldiers. The Thirty-fifth National
encampment of the G. A. R., at Cleve
land, adjourned early Friday morning,
September 13, after receipt of the dispatch
reporting the condition of the President
at Buffalo, putting the unfinished business
in the hands of the Council of Adminis
tration, consisting of one comrade from
each of the 45 departments, with full power
to act. At the meeting of the Council,
which remained in session until after mid
night on Friday, a committee was direct
ed to be appointed by Commander-in-Chief
Eli Torrance,, in the event of the Presi
dent's death, to attend the funeral of
their dead comrade at Canton, O. The
commander-in-chief being unable to be
present at Buffalo to march with the
G. A. R. comrades of the department of
New York in the place assigned them
Immediately in the rear of the hearse
from the Mllburn house to the City
Hall on Sunday, and thence to the fu
neral train on Monday morning, was rep
resented by his adjutant-general and by
other comrades of the Department of New
York. At a meeting held at Buffalo
on Sunday, presided over by Department
Commander Orr, it was agreed to further
offer service of a committee of five to
act as part of the escort to the body
on the funeral train to Washington.
The committee called on President
Roosevelt at the Wilcox mansion on Sun
day' evening to make this tender and re
quest an acceptance, so that the repre
sentatives be assigned to this duty. The
President's greeting to the G. A. R. com
mittee was most graceful. He said:
"I am pleased, very much pleased, to
receive you; and while, for obvious rea
sons, I cannot make an assignment such
as you propose, I will write a note to
Secretary Cortelyou, with the hope that
he will be able to do so. I know it is
what the dead President would have de
sired, and -it is-what I dPslre."
The note written by the President was
handed to Secretary Cortelyou, who said:
"In making arrangements for the fu
neral, I thought of the Grand Army, of
course. In the multitude of my duties
I necessarily had to refer many matters,
and that of the G. A. R. escort was sent
to Colonel Bingham. Please tell him
that I sent you to him."
Colonel Bingham at once made arrange
ments for the G. A. R. to follow the es
cort to the station, and an assignment of
a committee of five to accompany the
remains of President McKinley on the
funeral train as follows: F. M. Sterrltt,
adjutant-General; Charles Orr, depart
ment commander New York G. A. R.;
W. F. Billings, commander Post 9; Al
fred Lyttle, past senior vice-commander-in-chief,
and Joseph W. Kay, past de
partment commander New York G. A. R.
LEFT AT THE WRONG PLACE
Thirty Dozen Towels Delivered by
Mistake at a Rummage Sale.
By the queer mistake of a driver for
Olds, Wortman & King, the women con
ducting the rummage sale at 270 Morrison
btreet are out quite a little sum of money.
The dTiver in question was ordered by
his firm Saturday to deliver 30 dozen
towels to a lodging-house at Fourth and
Morrison streets, immediately above the
store where the rummage sale is carried
on. The shipping clerk was careful to
give the driver the exact number of the
street, but when the driver arrived at the
place indicated he saw a number of busy
nomen flitting to and fro, and In the ab
sence of moTe minute directions, instead
of delivering the goods at 266 Morison
street the entrance Vo the lodging-house
he concluded that 270 Morrison street
was the place where the towels were ex
pected. He saw lots of gowns, skirts,
linen, etc., on the shelves, and he walked
hurriedly Into t"he store and said: "I've
got 30 dozen towels for you people. Where
will I place them?" '
Now it so happened that the women in
charge of the rummage sale were anxious
ly looking for donations from several dry
goods firms, as the goods on the shelves
were rather slim, and they smiled with de
light at the kindness of another Dene,
factor.
"A gift of towels. The very things we
were expecting. How good of them," re
marked one bright, bustling woman. So
the driver carried in the towels and went!
along his route to deliver other parcels.
The women at the rummage sale lost no
time in advertising their newest dona
tion, and they hung out a placard reading:
"New towels. Ten cente each." The
towels were worth about two bits each.
Other women shoppers walking down
Morrison street, In the bright sunshine,
saw the announcement concerning the
towels, and their instlnctb as housekeep
ers led them to believe that they were at
last on the track of a real, genuine bar
gain. Little chunks of towels were easily
sold, and the fame of the towels spread.
in a very snort time tne towels were sold
out, to the despair of women bargain
hunters, who heard the gobd news too
late.
In the meantime the people In the lodg
ing-house upstairs were indignant because
their towels had not been delivered, and
an Impatient telephone message was sent
to the Arm. The shipping clerk certified
that the towels had been delivered, and
when the driver was interviewed he cor
roborated tne shipping clerk.
"Why,"-' remarked the driver, "those
towels were delivered a long time ago. I
delivered them downstairs. I didn't want
to walk upstairs with them. It's all the
same, Isn't it?" A hurriea investigation
was made, and when the truth was at last
revealed the driver had delivered the tow
els at the rummage sale, Iristtead of the
lodging-house, that driver was agitated.
He tore around to the rummage sale and
asked for his towels. '
"All sold," said one woman, promptly.
Then chaos Teigned. The matter was
finally settled. All parties entered into a
compact to keep tne. matter quiet.

SHEEPMEN WILL MEET
ANNUAL SESSION OF OREGON WOOL
GROWERS. Discussion, Will Cover Division and
Leasing of Range Lands, Shoddy
Problem and Pool-Sellings
PENDLETON. Or.. Sept. 16. Douelas
Belts, president of the Oregon Wool
Growers" Association, came In from his
sheep ranges south from here today and
boarded the train for Heppner, where to
morrow the association meets in annual
convention. Mr. Belts was accompanied
by a large delegation of sheep-breeders
and newspaper men. He expectsv that
the convention will be one of the largest,
If not the very largest, ever held in Ore
gon. His reasons for this are that the
sheep men have a number of important
issues to consider, and that the fine sea
son has enabled them to adjust their
affairs so as to be present" at this time.
It is the opinion that the Fall Is better
than the Spring for meetings such as
this.
Mr. Beits says the convention proposes
to talte up the question of the division
of the range lands between the sheep
and cattle men, and to attempt to solve
the problem upon a basis of equality and
fairness. It was asserted that the asso
ciation will Invite prominent cattle-growers
to come upon the floor of the con
vention, and with the sheep men fully
and exhaustively discuss common In
terests. Division of the range is sought
to prevent trouble, such as the recent
cases of shooting of sheep and the at
tempts upon the lives of- herders. The
desire is also that each man running
livestock of any kind may know where
he may range his bands without having
the extra expense of moving to other
localities to suit the plans for the pro
posed apportionment of the range. The
convention will adopt strong resolutions
of cepsure for the acts of violence that
have been-dlrected against the sheep men,
and will call upon the authorities to dis
cover the identity of the men who have
been doing the shooting. It is declared
that some one or more be made examples
of and punishment meted out as warning
for others.
The question of the use of shoddy and
Australian cotton in place of woool for
manufacture of goods In the United
States is one of the subjects that will
probably come before the convention.
The sheep men of the entire country
have demanded passage of Federal laws
against the selling of goods containing
shoddy without a mark indicating the
exact character of the articles. The law
desired by the sheep men is of a kind
that the butter-makers had passed, com
pelling stamping of oleomargarine.
Another question of importance is that
of methods of marketing wool. It has
been noticed during the present selling
season that Oregon wool-growers are In
clined to organize their market and sell
in pools, advertising for buyers to submit
sealed bids at a given place at a given
date, and that when this has been done
the results have been quite satisfactory.
The association may and probably will
consider some plan involving more gen
eral co-operation in this new method.
In adjoining states the same plan has
worked successfully.
Leasing of the Government ranges will,
perhaps, be the subject arousing the most
Interest. While no one knows absolutely
what will be done at the convention, not
a man can be found who will place him
self on record as favoring the leasing law.
A prominent sheep man said this morning
that he knew of not a man In either the
sheep or cattle business who was in fa
vor of range leasing, and that he almost
knew the convention would record itself
unanimously as violently opposed to any
such law. "There might be a very few
men in favor of it," said he, "but they
are so scarce that they will-.not attempt
to make headway against the heavy sen
timent of opposite nature."
Renews His Faith.
PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 16. The Rev.
Hugh Miller, who renounced the Baptist
Church three years ago in a public de
claration of apostasy, has returned to
his former faith. He was pastor of the
church at Pendleton and received consid
erable attention at that time throughout
the entire country. He notified the
church authorities that he had been
thoroughly converted and believes that
this conversion came In the exact manner
WHY DO DENTISTS ADVERTISE?
R rather, why do not most dentists advertise? Because it is a well-known fact that if a
dentist advertises he must have the skill before he can afford to keep up the advertising.
The PRIVATE DENTISTS who eschew the modern form of advertising- in the DAI
LY NEWSPAPERS are the dentists who cannot compete with the skill displayed by a suc
cessful advertising- dentist. The dentist who tells you that it is unprofessional to ADVER
TISE prices is generally the one who charges EXORBITANT prices after the work is fin
ished, not allowing the patient to know what the charges are going to be until after the work
is finished. There is very little satisfaction in dealing with this class of NON-ADVERTISING
DENTISTS.
THE NEW YORK DENTISTS ALWAYS state their prices plainly to the prospective
patient. Read the New York Dental Parlors ad. and judge for yourself. Our parlors are
located at

NO LET UP IN THE DEMAND
Dwellings Harder Than Ever to Get
on East Side.
Notwithstanding the great number of
cottages put up for rent all over the East
Side this year, the same scarcity of houses
for rent is manifested this Autumn as In
the Spring. It Is even more difficult to
find a vacant house now than at any time
during the year. The foundation for a
new house is hardly completed betoro
there are many people asking the car
penters whether it is for rent?, and a dozen
or more families are ready to rent it in
advance of its completion. At Mount Ta
bor J. O. Hall, principal of the. Mount
Tabor schools in district No. 5, managed
to secure a house, but! it was the last one
at Mount Tabor, obtainable. A number
of the teachers have been unable to find
houses or even boarding places. The
schools board had to modify the order
requiring them to live In the district At
Montfavilla there Is the same scarcity of
vacant houses, although a number are
being built there. At Sellwood a. resident
recently fixed up a small house, and he
could have rented it over half a dozen
times before It was finished.
It is the same story all over Albina.
People are after houses. Buildings are
going up in every direction. New founda
tions spring up over night, and the frames
of dwellings are met with on every other
vacant block. The employes of the water
office keep In touch with the new houses,
as they have to make connections wit'h
the water main, and they are kept on the
jump to keep up with the building pro
cession. It was feared that the building
impetus would be overdone or dwindle
down, but such has not been the case.
As many, if not many more, houses are
now under construction all over the East
Side and In the suburbs than at any time
of the year. Contractors are stfll figur
ing on others.
