Iff WILLBUiLD HERE - : FINE SifRuCTURE PROMISED art of the Building Will Be Devoted to Hotel and Office Purposes, and the Vork Will Begin Shortly. President Adolphus Busch, of the Anheuser-Busch Company, has made the an nouncement that his Arm intends to Invest Eeveral hundred thousand dollars In Portland in the n'ear future. Within the next few months the Anheuser-Busch Company -will establish a branch of fice here and will -erect a magnificent building to contain a large rathskeller which will "be as beautiful as the Taita Rathskeller in San Francisco. The building to be erected, which will re sult in the expenditure of at least 5200, 000 If not more, will be situated in the main business district of Portland. Its exact location has not been deciJed upon. Part of the structure to be erected may be devoted to hotel pur poses. Looking Over the Field. For several months Mr. Busch has "been invest! gating . the different cities of the "West, with the view of making large Investments. Representatives of the Anheuser-Busch Company have been in Portland at different times and tnc reports they have taken back to EL Louis as to the future and the needs of this city have been so encouraging that Mr. Busch determined to visit Portland himself, lie is greatly im pressed with Portland and while here definitely decided to mako large invest ments. '"Why, I am simply crazy over Port land," said Mr. Busch yesterday after noon. "I have heard a great deal about tills city lately, but the wonderful pos sibilities offered here are beyond my fondest expectations. For sometime we have been looking toward the "West with the view of investing large sums of money. and have several cities under consideration. But Portland will re ceive the preference of any of them. We will establish in Portland a branch office of our firm before the opening of the Exposition. This office will only be temporary, but next Winter we will maKe it permanent. Tou see we have to have time in which to prepare, n.s . our undertakings in Portland will be attended with a sreat deal of expense. Needs a Rathskeller. "One of the things Portland needs is a large rathskeller, and 1 am deter mined that she will, have it. The build ing we will erect for that purpose will result in the expenditure of 5300,003 or $400,000, if not more. The exact sum to be expended I could not state at the present time. As to the structure we will erect I will say that it -will be one of the handsomest in Portland. Of course, not all of it will be devoted to 'the rathskeller. Part of it will be ap portioned off into offices or turned into a hotel. It is very probable that we will start work on the erection of the build ing inside of six or seven months. It all depends, upon how soon we will be able to secure a suitable location." Adolphus Busch is one of the wealth iest and most conservative business men 'in the United States. His interests ex tend from one"cdast to the other and he has almost unlimited capital at his command. Mr. Busch leaves Portland tomorrow to continue his trip through out the West AET PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT. Portland One In a Chain of Cities to Be Favored.

The salon is now on exhibition lu San Francisco and should reach Portland during next week. This salon, the first of its kind in Portland, and in fact the first in Amer ica, will be a notable event in local art and photographic circles, since the exhibition contains what may well be called the masterpieces of the leaders In camera craft.

When the salon appeared in the Corcoran Gallery, at Washington, the attendance was the largest ever known there for any kind of an exhibition, -end it was the general opinion of painters and art critics that it was by far the finest exhibition of art pho tography ever shown in Washington. The same praise has been given the pr on in all other cities in which it A has been exhibited, and press com ments give assurance that a treat is in store for Portland art lovers.
