The transfers of the past week, as given
above, do not recofd the most Important
sale of the week, that of the residence of
the late Julius Loewenberg, on Cedar Hill,
near the City Park. F. W. Leadbetter, of
the La Camas Paper Company, has pur
chased this well-known residence from the
former owners, the Fire Association of
Philadelphia, for 540.0QO. The deal was
made through Rountree & Diamond. The
purchase includes the. eight lots which sur
round the fine stone building.
Russell & Blyth have purchased the
half Interest in the St Charles Hotel
formerly held by C. T. Belcher. TSe
hotel property was assessed at $90,000 and
the share taken at this rate. Though the
tnora have not vet been signed, the sale
has been ofllclaify confirmed, and is prac-J
tlcally consumated. Mr. ueicner nas Deen
connected with the St Charles for sev
eral years in partnership with James F.
Davis, who retains his Interest In the
property.
Another "transaction of interest is an
nounced by Rountree & Diamond. The
United Carriage Company has leased the
quarter block at the northwest corner of
Eleventh and Morrison for a long term of
years and will Immediately erect a three
story brick building upon It Mrs. A. B.
Thompson Is the owner of the property.
The ground has been already broken for
the - new structure, and the two-story
dwelling on the corner will at once be
removed. The former building of the com
pany at Seventh and Taylor was recently
purchased by the Meier & Frank Com
pany and the carriage company has been
forced to seek new quarters. Though the
complete plans for the building have not
-yet been made. S. M. Mears, the president
of the company, says that the structure
to be erected will be in every way suitable
to the neighborhood. A solid brick wall
without openings will be built on the side
toward the new theater adjoining, on the
corner of Twelfth and Morrison. The car
riage company has been on the outlook
for a desirable location for some time,
and this uptown site was finally decided
upon. The management expects to gain
considerable trade through the conveni
ent proximity to the theater which will
be opened early In the Spring.
The identity of the purchaser of the
Trinity Church quarter block still remains
unknown In real estate circles, though
dozens of rumors on the subject are cur
rent One of the most persistent and ap
parently well-authenticated surmises con
nected the Barbour Thread concern of Ire
land with the deal. The agents of the
property. Russell & Blyth. have denied
this, however, and the Identity of the new
owner to not yet known. The ground has
been cleared with such rapidity that It
seems probable that work on a new build
ing will be quickly begun, - but no word
can be learned of such a contract being
awarded. Several well-known Portland
men have been searching for hotel sites In
the city for the past three months. Dame
Rumor has as usua.1 been busy, but no
deals have as yet been definitely closed,
Thomas Guinean. the ex-manacer of the
Imperial Hoel has been negotiating for
a lease, on 'the Goodnough building for
some time, but said Saturday that he could
make no announcements as yet There is
evidently room for another good hotel in
Portland and one will doubtless be soon
erected.
A. T. Myers, the man who builds houses
by the dozen, is about to erect several
more in the neighborhood of East An
keny and East Thirteenth street J.
Woods Smith will soon put up a $7000 resi
dence in Holladay Park Addition for his
own use.
The rain of the past few days has great
ly delayed construction woik throughout
the city. George Lanford. the contractor
on the larger "Welnhard building, has de
vised a plan whereby the work of his
men may proceed In .spite of the showers,
A stout canvas cover or shelter, 200 feet
in length and 16 feet wide will soon be
put up. made In 25-foot sections, which
will shield the entire length of the build
ing from the elements. Strong posts will
be fixed in mortises in the wall and Mr.
Lanford 6ays that no ordinary windstorm
will blow away his gigantic umbrella. The
first story of this structure at Fifth and
Oak streets is now practically completed
with trio exception of a few of the back
arches over the windows. An electric
hoist has been installed and will be very
useful in raising material to the upper
stones.
Though the records of 'the past week
enow no phenomenal business, the Teal
estate men appear well satisfied with the
condition of the market "The market Is
all right" declares George E. Watklns, of
'Parrlsh, watklns & Co. "People are com
ing in here all the time, with money to In
vest and they have selected Portland for
Investments In preference to other cities
of the Northwest which they have visited.
A man who has spent several years
Alaska, arrived here the other day with
some $20,000, which he wished to invest in
real estate. After looking over the town
carefully .he decided to remain here and
to put his money In Portland property. He
was In Spokane and the cities on the
Sound, but Portland appeared" to him to be
oy far the best place for an Investment
That's the kind of people we like to see
come here.
CITY'S SURPRISING GROWTH.
Inspection of Old Maps' Gives Inter
esting Revelations.
On the wall of a long-established real
estate office hang two maps Bt Portland
which plainly enow the clty'swremarkable
growth in the past 30 years Botfi are in
the nature of bird's eye views, and the
older of the two, made in 1870, is a veri
table curiosity, and might be profitably
added to the City Museum. It is black
ened with age, but shows excellent work
manship. It was drawn by P. F. Castle-
man, who Is still a resident of the city.
The view is taken from the eastern bank
of the river, where East Portland is now
situated, and shows an old-fashioned
mixed train of freight and passenger cars
marked "O. & C. R. R.," In the fore
ground. The shore is apparently nothing
more than a meadow, for trees' and pushes
are growing by the river, and near the
railroad is a genuine log cabin. The
river, of course, Is not crossed by "bridges
and a very few primitive craft dot the
water, Portland" apparently extended
from the river to Park street, though a
few scattering' houses are shown beyond
that line. Marquam Gulch marks the ex
treme southern boundary and Davis street
the northern. Buildings of any sire are
scarcely discernible, and the wharfs seem
pigmy slips beside the huge docks which
now line the waterfront, what Is now
Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets are cut
through the forest, whichv Cached from,

gulches and canyons, of which, the pres
ent resident knows nothing, are illus
trated. Portland at this time had a
population of about 10,000, and' was evi
dently, a thriving frontier town. This
map is believed to be the first T)irds-eye
map ever made of the city.

"THE LIGHT THAT FAILED"
Decay" of Clinches Due to Extinction
of Spiritual Life. '
The decline and decay of
. the early
text for' a
church of Ephesus was the
sermon at the Second Baptist Church by
Rev. "V. E. Randall yesterday on the
topic, "A Light That Failed; A Study
of Church Permanence and Power." De
scribing the present condition of Ephesus,
he said:
"Today, the eye wanders through heaps
REMARKABLE MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT
OF THE PACIFIC CQAST
"The industrial conditions of Pacific States in 1000, considering the value
but not the character of the croducts; was .about the- same as those of New
England States In 18C0, and of the Middle States in 1850."
The above Is from volume 7, page 78, of the 1000 census statistics. Those
statistics show that In 1000 the value of agricultural products In Oregon was
$03 per capita, as compared with $61 per capita In 1890; and of manufactured
products, $112 per capita, as compared wlthf $132 In 1890. The report says:
The Pacific States have had a growth peculiar to themselves, because of
their comparative ' Isolation from the rest of the Union, which forces them to
depend largely Xn their own resources. "When the census of 1S30 was taken
gold had Just been discovered In "California, The entire manufacturing1 develop
'roent of the Pacific States has taken plaee In the last CO years. The total
value of products In 1000 ($435,070,309) constituted 3.3 per cent of the value of
products In trie United States. The growth of the Pacific group has be'en re
markable. The- character of. Its Industries Is still largely determined by Its
native resources' of farm, forest and mine."
chaotic ruins that mark the downfall
of Ephesus, the capital city and com
mercial metropolis. Only lizards and
scorpions And a habitation. Broken col
umns and crumbled architecture make the
desolation complete. Deaf were the ears
and hardened the hearts upon which fell
the message, 'I will come to thee quickly
and remove thy candlestick unless thou
repent.'
At first the Christian church was a
benediction. The great Diana was pros
trate before the cross. Then Moslem
crescents glittered on the domes of Chris
tian cuurchea Today Ephesus has neither
temple nor church, cross nor crescent. A
church whose name was registered In the
Book of Books utterly and eternally ex
tinct! The light failed. The Epheslan
church was peculiarly privileged. The
city was the residence of Paul and the
scene of his labors for three years. Here
John Invested the closing years of his
rich life. Timothy was the pastor of the
church for many years.
'If there comes a time whdn evil and
wrong cease to shock the mo'ral sensibil
ities, the downward course -is settled.
When the body loses its power to elim
inate septic substances, heart action is
doomed. A church is more than 'a volu-
tary association of believers for the pur
nose of edification and worship. It is
something to have hands, 'feet and va
rious members associated together in a
body you have all of these In a corpse.-
It is Infinitely more to have the body In
dwelt with life. The church Is to be the
perpetual body of the resurrected Christ.
There is limitation and- Incongruity when
a noble IntellecNls doomed to dwell In
an Ill-formed, undeveloped body. There is
limitation and incongruity when Christ
is asked to dwell In a seriously defect
ive church. The Epheslan experience
has been repeated In every denomination
until good men and. women are "heart
sick and the World Is disgusted.
"Solemn, present - tense fact Christ
walks In the mldsfof the churches, aware
of all that transpires. He commends all
that merits approval. It requires a great
soul to give proper credit to a deficient
life. He commends every good, moral
motive. He recognizes 'fidelity In the face
of disappointment and suffering. v
Tho path of .sorrow, and that path alone.
Leads to the placo where sorrow Is unknown.
The pilgrim amid the churches was
faithful In reproving. Are you dimming
the light that the church should radiate?
Is there Increasing defeat lmyour personal
struggle between good and evil? You
say: 'Truth Is mighty and will prevail.
It never does prevail actually untlL It Is
embodied. Incarnated in persons.
"Pathetic picture! The Ephesus church
lingered for a time; the candlestick was
removed; the church of such promise and
privilege experienced extinction.. I will
not dwell upon the picture of splendid
church edifices that have become lodge
rooms and. theaters; church "organizations
that have been discarded by God and men.
There is one hope, one remedy, for the
light that is falling. Contrition for sins
and wrongs, committed, confessions, tears,
prayers."

The constitution limits the amount of
indebtedness which the Btate may Incur
to $50,000. The plan is to Issue $300000 in
bonds and to provide for taking them up
at the end of 14 years, at the rate of $50,000
a year. In this way the state would not
Incur an Indebtedness and the "old boys'
would get their money.
The total number of days of service dur

widows is about 400. The children of de

HELP FOR CRITTENTON HOME.
Supplier for the Larder and Cash for
Bulldljig: Fund Needed.
Thanksgiving cornea on apace, and the
eyes of tho various charities of the city
are turned toward a generous public. The
Florence Crlttenton Home, among oth
ers, comes to make Its plea. Letters are
already coming In, Inquiring as to our
greatest need. First, we would state that
whatever Is needed for larder and pantry
of any private home for general use Is
needed for the Crlttenton Home, not only
supplies for the larder, but crockery for
the table as well. So far as a Thanks
giving dinner Is concerned, the need cov
ers the same ground as that of a private
home. Remember that, where there are
20 or more girls over whose hearts hangs
a shadow, at Thanksgiving time tho feel
ing of regret over "what might have
been," or "what used to be" takes the
place of a psalm of thanksgiving which
wells up in the hearts of those to whom
such shadows luckily have never come.
Secondly, allow us to remind you thav
the need of a new building is still burden
ing the hearts of the board of managers.
The Thanksgiving is a most appropriate
season at which to give expression to
our appreciation of this much-needed
charity, and the really great work accom
plished by It In tho last 15 years, by mak
ing a contribution to the building fund.
Our field agent Is abroad, and her mites
sent In from time to time add all to slow
ly to the $25,000 necessary to tho erection
of the building- for which the architect's
plans call. A number of business men
have been In the habit of making dona
tions of cash at Thanksgiving -for several
years past, and we trust that this num
ber may be greatly Increased this year.
Your cash contributions can bo sent to 312
Macleay building, the office of the Crlt
tenton Home, or, Better, to jjaaa & -.niton's
Bank, wHere all funds thus far col
lected have been deposited. Articles for
the larder can be sent direct to the Home,
at East Thirty-first and Gllsan streets, or,
If more convenient, to the office as above
indicated.
"We think It proper to state Just here
that the Crlttenton Homo Is entirely out
of debt, and that money sent In will go
dlrectlv to the bank, to be held solely for
the building. "We trust the churches" In
their Thanksgiving collections will bear
this need In mind, ana give as generously
as may be to this fund. '

SPECIAL TRAIN TO GO EAST
Portland Citizens Will Attend Live
stock Convention.
A tralnload of Portland citizens may go
to tho National Livestock Convention,
which will be held In Kansas City In the
middle part of January.- Their mission
will be to have the 1904 convention held
in Portland. Thev will co also to New
York, to bring the Lewis and Clark Fair
to the attention of E. H. Harrlman, from
whom a donation will be sought to be
made by the Southern Pacific, O. R. &N.,
Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line.
The excursion will be the means of ad

tho Pacific to the Atlantic. Associated
Press representatives will go along, to

pers of the United States. The delegation
from Portland will be so large that It will
draw a great deal of attention. At the
leading hotel In Kansas City a special
bill of fare will be prepared of famous
Oregon products. Portland stands tho
best show of any city in the United States
of getting, the 1904 convention, according
to information received from Influential
members of the National Livestock Asso
elation. This association represents very
Important Interests in America. Over 5000
delegates attend its annual meetings.
The delegation will reach New Yqrk
about January 20. By this time It Is ex
pected that the Lewis and Clark appro
prlatlon will havo been made by the Ore
gon Legislature. Euch an exhibition of
ftnprtrv In Orpcron -will cro far toward tret-
ting money from Mr. Harrlman, and a big
delegation of citizens from Portland will
readily obtain an audience with him.
The special train will be made up of
not less than four Pullman sleepers, a din
lng car and a baggage car. The pleasure
of speeding over the country In a special
train will be a novel one.

Mitchell, asking him to be present at
Kansas City, and to join the delegation,

Thanksgiving dinners, Thanksgiving do
nations. Thanksgiving services, football
games and other significant events ana
customs of Thanksgiving day are general
topics of discussion, and the thoughts that
are filling the minds of young and old
alike. For several days past they have
been gaining a more prominent" position
in liiu minus ul iiiu peupie, uuu up
time approaches they are fast becoming
the all-aborblng topics. A general feel
ing seems to prevail that the year Just
past has been one of exceptional pros
perity tj) Oregon people, and every indi
cation seems to say that the Thanksgiv
ing celebration this year will be large and
demonstrative. The exceptional prosperity
of the past year has encouraged the va
rious charitable Institutions to hope for
large donations. Many calls have already
been made and there Is every Indication
that there will be a liberal response to
all. Thanksgiving services have been ar
ranged for in most if not all of the
cnurches. In some' Instances several
churches have planned to combine and
hold union services. Aside from the do
nations and thanksgiving, however, there
will be a goodly amount of celebration.
Practically all business will be closed for
the day and In the afternoon tho greatest
football srame of the year, which will de
cide the state championship, vill be played
Some nne dinners are being planned.
Butcher shops and markets report that
the orders for turkeys are coming In faster
than they can fill them. "We havo CO
orders where we have 20 turkeys," said
one of the market-men yesterday, "but
we have made arrangements to get more
turkeys and everyone will be supplied by
Thanksgiving."
Contentment in the Air.
"Thero have been times," said a min
ister yesterday, "when it really did seem
a little strange to bo giving thanks. Of
course a good Christian man could see
that there were a number of things to be
thankful for and would feel thankful to
his Creator that he had been permitted
even as good conditions as he had. This
year, however, there Is a general feel
ing of contentment In the air."
This feeling Is expressed on every hand
and Is readily demonstrated when the
occasion arises.
"I can answer for members of my own
congregation," said Dr. E. P. Hill, in re
sponse to a question on this subject, "that
they not only feel generally thankful, but
that they are willing to make a substan
tial demonstration of their feelings In the
matter. This morning I asked for 54000
with which to pay off a debt of the church
and within a very short time the congre
gation had pledged $4600. I think that
that Incident alone would answer as to
their feelings more eloquently than
words."
'There Is less prevailing poverty than I
have ever known," said Dr. A. A. Morri
son. "There is a noted absence of any
complaint In my congregation as to times
or as to the condition of the people gen
erally.''
In every instance this same feeling was
found to exist. Not only In church cir
cles, but among business men, working
I. tried Presto and found it very good. It makes delicious pastry. It
-is, an excellent preparation. I wonder .what they will get up next. 4

people and all classes. Labor unions have
gained a greater prominence than ever
before and wages have been brought up
to a tetter level. Business possibilities
have opened up and offer a larger field
of action for Oregon. All of these senti
ments find a voice, and where there is
one to complain there are hundreds to
drown the sound with their . thanksgiv
ing. Many Donations Asked.
Many public calls have already been
made for Thanksgiving donations, and
there are others yet to come. Each char
itable Institution believes that this Is the
time when ttie people, from the, goodness
of their hearts, should be generous toward
their, less fortunate brethren and contrib
ute liberally to works of charity.- Each
church will ask for a special Thanksgiv
ing donation, to be used for one pur
pose or another, and each has some good
end In view to bef accomplished with the
money that will be received In these con
tributions. Donations for the Children's Home will
be received at Woodard, Clarke & Co.'s
drug store. The following women will be
In attendance on the days specified: Tues

ing to send out boxes of provisions to
all of the poor people In the city. As
tljere are a large number to be supplied

the public in the. way of fruits, jellies
and butter. These may be sent to Cap
tain R. B. Watron at the hall at 26
North Second- street, or he may be noti
fied by telephone that the good3 will be

Thanksgiving donations of supplies for
the Patton Home for Old Women at East
Portland will be received at the store of
Adolph Dekum, on First street, between
Washington and Alder. Donations with
special reference to the Thanksgiving din
ner or for the general Winter supply of
tho Home larder will be gratefully re
ceived by the management, which is
largely dependent upon the public iren
eroslty for the means of carrying on the
institution.
The Babies' Homo makes a rail for
Thanksgiving donations. This is "an In
stitution which from Its very nature can
not be self-supporting and must depond
upon public aid. Tho Home needs cloth
ing for the babies, and anything that
can minister to their comfort; beds, cribs
and their furnishings and baby carriages.
It needs also table furnishings and sup
plies; kitchen and pantry supplies; In
short, anything that would contribute
to the comfort of any home or to the
welfare of any child. Small packages and
money contributions will be received at
the Skldmore Drug Store, 151 Third street.
Notice will be given later where larger
packages may be left.

ing tho running expenses of the Good Sa
maritan Hospital. The members do not
feel, however, that this donation should
be confined strictly to Episcopalians. Mem
bers of every denomination alike are re
ceived and treated at the hospital. Thou
sands of afflicted people take advantage
of the opportunities offered by such an
Institution and they think tho entire pub
lic should feel Interested in its mainte
nance. Although substantial additions
have been made to the hospital during tha
past few years lt3 patronage has grown
likewise and Its capacity Is taxed to tho

church members to build another wing as
