SUMMARY FOR AUGUST.
Deeda recorded to the number of 420.
Total valuo represented, $391,132.
Building permits registered to tho
number of IBS. Total values. $284,812.
"With tho oDenlnsr of tho Fall month of
September construction work and real
testate operations have been given a won
derful Impulse. August Is generally re
garded as the deadest month of all the
twelve among the real estate dealers, and
cow that Is past business has gone up
ward with a boom.
A real estate transaction. In which $35,
$00 actually changed hands, was the start
ing gun. The Eastern half of the ground
occupied by the buildings known as the
Widows' Row, fronting on Washington
street between Seventh and Park, has
teen Bold by J. H. Peterson to Eugene
jBlazler. The property was purchased by
Mr. Peterson a few months ago from
ISrindstaff & Blaln, the brokers in the
bresent transfer. By holding the property
cor a few months Mr. Peterson cleaned up
$5,000. A three-story building is to bo
Jerected to be occupied by stores. The deal
was closed Saturday, and it is reported
lhat another with some reference to this
is about to be consummated.
TTarmnh T. Durham sold to Solomon Llp
fciaa the west 60 feet of a lot at the south
cast corner of "Wayne and St. Clair
Streets. Tho consideration was $15,000. This
'is In the most exclusive residence portion
tof the city, in the King's Hill district.
Henry E. Harris has bought from
Thomas Hislop two lots at the northeast
corner of East Water and East Yamhill
Streets. As a result of the deal, $5250
changed hands. This corner is in a rapidly-growing
factory and warehouse dis
trict on the East Side, which is assuming
jsuch proportions that it must be reckoned
"with in considering tho business part of
!the city.
P. H. Blyth, of Russell & Blyth. has sold
)to L. M. Hubert a lot at the southwest
fcorner of Fifth and Couch streets for
$11,000.
Lively though tho real estate business
ts, the construction work upon buildings
Js keeping fully apace with it. Building
permits taken out last week at the office
pf the City Engineer totaled a higher sum
than for any similar period since the busy
Bays of last March. Tho amount, $115,-
40, shows that the building business for
Autumn promises to be prolific of work
Sor every one engaged In that line.
Among tho building permits are several
or large buildings, whose cos$ runs up
into thousands of dollars. Henry Wemme
is about to erect a three-story brick struc
true at Front and Columbia streets. It's
cost will be $13,000. Mr. Wemme is also
having dug a foundation at Seventh and
Gllsan streets, where a building will soon
be constructed to take the place of that
destroyed by Are last June.
P. F. Haradon, the candy manufacturer,
las taken out a permit for a two-story
fcrlck structure at Fifth and Flanders
jptreets. This is to cost $10,000.
W. Frazier will soon begin the construc
tlon of a two-story brick at Thirteenth
and Kearney streets. This will cover a
good-sized strip of ground and will coBt
.$18,000, according to the permit.
The repairs which F. C. Stregel is mak
ing upon his building at Sixth and Burn
.clde will cost $10,000. This is another step
in the long list of Improvements along
lxth street
Work upon the foundation for the new
Ellsworth Hotel at Seventh and Pine
streets is going on apace. The work of
altering the Snell-Heltshu-Woodard build
ing for its use as a temporary postofllce
will shortly be begun. In the same con
nection it Is announced that the contract
for the alteration of the old postofllce
building has been let to Walker & Lang
lord, the contractors who have erected
Snany of the largest buildings in Portland.
Fair. Of course, the. board of directors are
very busy with the work that is more
properly theirs, but their efforts will bo
largely fruitless unless this matter of
providing for visitors is looked after by
some one In the near future.
By an appropriation of $500,000 the peo
ple of Oregon are committed to a genu
ine support of the Lewis and Clark Ex
position. They want it to be a success
in every sense of the word. It. is. In
deed, xi great undertaking and the board
of directors are entitled to the hearty
co-operation of every citizen, as they no
doubt will welcome suggestions which
may be offered along rational lines.
Besides the defect of insufficient hotel
accommodations is the general lack of in
formation among the people of the United
States not only about the approaching Ex
position, but about Lewis and Clark
themselves who they were and what they
did. 6ome of tho stories which have been
printed In this connection have seemed
absurd, but none of them has been more
so than many most of us have encoun
tered. The present generation is not being
schooled In the great work done by those
Intrepid explorers, and neither was the
last When a great Eastern paper sends
a special representative to this Coast to
write up conditions and to give some at
tention to the proposed Lewis and Clark
Fair, and he begins by presenting him
self to the Exposition headquarters and
inquires of an officer "where Lewis' and
Clark can be found," since he "wants to
get his information at first hand," it is
time something were done along educa
tional lines. Less than a week ago an
Eastern visitor wanted to know what spe
cial Interest Lewis and Clark had In tho
proposed Exposition that they "wanted
to get It up."
The Buffalo Exposition was gotten up
by Buffalo and the Omaha Exposition by
Omaha, so it Is presumed by the touring
Easterner that the Lewis and Clark Ex
position Is being gotten up by Lewis and
Clark!
During tho last session of the Mis
souri Legislature a bill was Introduced
appropriating $10,000 to purchase a bronze
statue of Thomas H. Benton, to place In
tho rotunda of the State Capitol build
ing, but It was so vehemently opposed by
one member, who stated that "although
his father had supported Benton for
United States Senator, ho himself regard
ed him as a bully, a blackguard and an
assassin," that it was defeated, and that
In Missouri!
On some of these questions the present
generation needs some kindergarten les
sons of the most pronounced character.
Casting aside all commercial considera
tions In connection with desirable re
sults from the Fair, the revival of an
Interest In tho great historical event
which occurred hero 100 years ago will be
one of positive benefit.
It is a safe assumption that many
members of Congress can be found who
have but a vague idea of who Lewis and
Clark were and why they seem to have
a place in our National history. And yet
it Is not far from the truth, if. Indeed, It
departs from It at all, to say that the
sending of Lewis and Clark to this coun
try in 1804 was the greatest single con
ception of Thomas Jefferson's public ca
reer. It was his alone, while in the mat
ter of the Declaration of Independence,
as well as other events of National con
cern In the Revolutionary period, he had
the assistance of practically all the great
men of his time. But he was the only
outspoken expansionist of his day, al
though the general idea that his was the
credit for the Louisiana purchase Is his
torically wrong. He really had nothing
to do with it, and hesitated long, before
he consented to accept the unauthorized
purchase made by his Ministers to France.
Ho wanted the territory badly enough,
but its acquisition was in direct viola
tion of his peculiar "strict construction"
ideas of the Federal Constitution. Al
lowing these scruples to be overcome by
his great desire to expand our territorial
area, however, he finally submitted the
treaty to the Senate, and, after its ratifi
cation, at once organized the Lewis and
Clark expedition in order to push our
Western boundary to the Pacific Ocean.
It was a signal success and laid the foun
dation for our claim in alter years
against that of Great Britain.
In many things Jefferson wasv erratic
and impractical. He did many things to
undermine the administration and popu
larity of Washington, even while a mem
ber of his Cabinet, but he had a just con
ception of the magnitude and value of
the western half of the continent that
was shared by none of his contempo
rarles. Tho Lewis and Clark Exposition
will be largely a tribute to the' states
manship of Thomas Jefferson, will be an
event of the greatest National Import
ance, and should meet with hearty Con
gressional aid in its support. It will re
quire National aid to give it a National
character.
This phase of the question will need to
be presented to the attention of Congress
vigorously and persistently and individ
ually rather than collective!. National
financial aid with the National recogni
tion it will mean, together with the car-rylngz-out
of the first suggestion made.
will be quite as necessary to Insure the
success of the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion as the erection of buildings and se
curing a creditable exhibit of our re
sources. T. T. GEER.

A DISCURSIVE LETTER.
5Sut It Touches Several Topics of
Present Interest.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 5. (To the Editor.)
-Now that the Knowles Incident is a
.closed one, for a time, at least, it is
'hoped, it is in order to continue tho agi
'tatlon looking to the provision of more
-hotel room for the traveling public In
Portland. The situation in this respect
is one that should not be permitted to
continue for another year. This would
be true if no unusual event were to be
expected, but with extensive preparations
being made for the Lewlsand ClarK ex
.position In 1305, the further apparent neg-
llect of this important feature of the Fair
will be hurtful to that enterprise in the
extreme. For to amply provide for vlsi
rtors is one of the most Important ele
ments of the invitation to become visitors
The reputation of Portland In the matter
of being unable to care for the ordinary
traveling public has already gone abroad
and unless this reputation is positively
(removed long before the opening of the
rPalr it would be better to abandon it al
itogether. The mere knowledge that the
iiotels are full all the time with our own
people will prevent thousands from at
tending at all, and its success will de
pend. not on the character of tho ex
hibit, but on the attendance.
If Ringllng's circus had all the attrac
tions that are now a part of the show,
but no people attended it, the enterprise
would be called a colossal failure, and If
it was generally Ttnown that It made no
provision for seating its spectators, it
could depend on having none. These aux
iliaries must be lobked after, and while
ihe directors of the Exposition cannot
iuild hotels they should certainly see that
pome one who can do so shall be suffi
ciently interested in tho matter to take
3lold of it at once.
There is scarcely a day In the year that
our hotels do not turn away a throng of
people who cannot "le supplied with. ac
commodations. Even if. no Exposi
tion were pending it would bo a good ln
.vostment for some man or men having
the means to erect a hotel on tho general
plan and grade of the Perkins and the
Imperial. But If present conditions con
tinue in this respect, the fact, even now
generally known abroad, will prevent the
attendance of thousands who would oth
erwise bo glad to accept the opportunity
to visit this Coast during tho year of the

the organization of a mining association
The promoters of the plan believe the
organization of a mining men's associa
tion will lead to more favorable consid
eration at the hands of the Legislature
and In the preparation of exhibits of met
als for Eastern and local exhibition. The
objection to the corporation tax Is prob
ably shown more strongly than anythlnj
else by mining men. They protest that
tho burden Is one they cannot stand and
will have the tendency to cripple their
operations. The organization of a state
mining bureau is urged and mining men
want more privileges in tne use oi um
ber for the purpose of developing claims
and by prospectors. All of these ques
tlons will likely come up at today's meet
ing.
Mineral Exhibit at St. Louis.
Thero Is a disposition among mining
men in Western Oregon to feel that their
interests at St. Louis may not receive
proper attention. The fact that Commis
sioner Mlllls resides in Eastern Oregon
Is regarded as an Indication that his sec
tion of the state would naturally receive
more attention than any other district.
As a result, it is likely that Western
Oregon mining men wllf take steps dur
lng tho meeting to protect their Interests
and provide for the collection of a satis
factory mining exhibit for the St. Louis
Exposition.
The organization of a state mining as
sociation wlU probably be perfected along
the lines followed In other states. The
plan of California is most apt to be fol
lowed. In some states business men are
admitted to membership, while elsewhere
the membership Is restricted to those act-

Mission of Oregon Delegates to Con
vention of Christian Church.
An effort is to bo made to get the gen
eral convention of tho Christian Church
for Portland In 19(6.
This year the supreme body of the
Christian Church will meet at Detroit,
Mich., October 16 to 22, and for 1904, the
convention Is already pledged to St. Louis.
In 1905 tho convention should come to the
Coast, if the general policy of distribu
tion, recognized in the past, is to be
adhered to, and Rev. J. F. Ghormley and
Rev. 4-lbyn Esson, pastors of the local
Christian churches, believe that it will
be. At any rate the Oregon delegation
to the Detroit convention this year will
make an effort to bring the 1905 conven
tion to Portland, and in this effort has
enlisted the actlvo support and co-opera
tion of the Board of Trade, through Sec
retary Max Shlliock. A strong invita
tion to the general convention to meet
in this city In 1905 has already been drawn
up by Mr. Shillock, who will also provide
the Oregon delegation with a liberal sup
ply of printed matter and photographs
descriptive of the state, its resources
and scenic attractions, before Its depar
ture for Detroit.
Further invitations will be requested by
the Oregon delegation from the Chamber
of Commerce, Ministerial Association, the
Mayor of Portland and the Governor of
this state.
The general conference of the Christian
Church usually brings together about 4000
delegates from every section of the United
States and Canada. Oregon will be repre
sented at the Detroit meeting by Messrs.
Ghormley and Esson, of this city, and
Rev. Dean Sanderson, of Eugene.
a number of mining men have gathered at
tho state capital to urge their claims to
friendly legislation on personal grounds.
It Is anticipated that, with the organi
zation of the proposed association, all
efforts can be directed by a central body
and more attention will be given to de
mands
The prime mover in the organization of
the mining association has been J. H.
Flsk, a well-known Portland assayer. E.
J. Goddard, a Portland mining man, has
been closely associated with Mr. Fisk in
the movement and the call sent out for
the meeting was generally signed by
prominent state mining men. Mr. Goddard
has been called out of the city and will
be unable to attend the sessions.
There Is some talk of electing Mr. Fisk

its object designating Max M. Shillock, of
the Board of Trade, secretary. Gossip of

Founders of Portland Used in Select-
ins a Name.
F. W. Pettygrove, son of F. W. Petty-
grove, one of the founders of Portland,
and the man who named the city, has in
his possession the copper cent with which
his father won the right to select the
name. He is a commercial traveler for
a San Francisco house, and naturally
sots great store by this cent, which he
has shown to many here on his vlsit3 to
.this city. Some of his friends have be
sought him to turn this cent over to tho
Oregon Historical Society to be preserved.
but he has not been ablo to mako up his
mind to do this. George H. Hlmes, sec
retary of the society, has been advised to
wrestle with Mr. Pettygrove, and It Is
not unlikely that he may succeed In se
curing this historical coin. Mr. Petty
grove has also in his possession the Bible
used on the occasion of tho first sermon
ever preachhed in Portland, which with
the cent was presented to him by his
father as a keepsakeiv.
It was In the Summer of 1845 that Hon
A. L. Lovejoy and F. W. Pettygrove,
who owned the claim on which Portland
was located, employed Thomas A. Brown
to survey their property and lay it off Into

Repeal or Enforce the Statutes.
PORTLAND, Sept. 6. (To the Editor.)
Mayor Williams' course in "regulating"
gambling, etc., rather than enforcing the
statutes as he finds them breeds disre
spect of law. The public welfare requires
deference to law, and this cannot bo had
where men m high places directly or In
directly exhibit a contempt of law. For
such conduct the Mayor should be as
amenable to punishment as are the mem
bers of the Illinois mob who were convlct
'ed yesterday of substituting their will for
the law of the state- No worthy member
of the community can afford to watch
such official proceedings complalsantly.
Repeal,the statutes in question or enforce
them. G. H. THOMAS.

his native state. Mr. Pettygrove con
tended that Portland was more appro
prlate, as it was at the head of naviga
tion, and the port where would land all
the freight Intended for the valley of
tho Willamette and all the sunthern pro
duce of the territory. In order to deslde
the question It was proposed by Mr. Pet
tygrove to toss a copper cent, which he
had brought with him as a souvenir of
his Eastern home. This was agreed to
by Mr. Lovejoy. The cent was tossed and,
Mr. Pettygrove proving tne winner. Port
land was adopted as the name of the
embryo city.
A Correction.
PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 6. (To the Edl
tor-Oregonlan:) The interview published
In The Oregonlan Sunday quotes me as
saying that I had concluded to retire
from the office of supreme master artisan
and devote my energies to my private
business, which for nearly nine years had
been sacrificed on the altar of friendship.
The word ".friendship" should have been
"fraternity. I tried to convey the Im
pression that my private business had
been neglected whllo I was engaged In
building up a fraternal society and not
the idea tnat my friends had been a
burden to me. Of the original board, of
directors and corporators of the United
Artisans thero only remain Mr. F. S.
She was well repaid, for it brought
health and happiness In return
A translation of the good frau's letter
says: "From a child I had been used to
drinking coffee dally but the longer
continued drinking it the worse I felt.
I suffered with heart trouble, headaches
and dizziness. Then I had such an un
easy feeling around my heart that I often
thought death to be near.
"I gave up drinking coffee and tried
hot water but that did not taste good and
I did not get well. Then I read some
letters from people who had been helped
by Postum Food Coffee and I determined
to try it.
I had to go ten miles to get a package.
but I went. I prepared It carefully ac
cording to directions and we have used it
now in our family for nearly two years,
drinking It twice a day. It agrees well
with all of us. My heart and bowel
troubles slowly but surely disappeared.
It Is seldom that I ever have a headache.
my nerves are steady and strong again
and I am otherwise strong and well. My
husband has been lately cured of his sick
headaches since we threw coffee out of
our home and have used Postum." Name
furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
