Tho properties were acquired by men who propose to make expensive Improvements, some of them immediate, costing altogether nearly $1,000,000. J. B. Yeon was the principal (purchaser, buying two of the pieces and a third Interest in one other. The other purchase was made by "Wright & Dixon, proprietors of the Oregon Hotel, who will build upon it a large annex to their present establish ment. The largest of the transactions was the sale of a half-block on the south side of Oak street, extending from Seventh street to Park, and having.100 feet front age upon ach of those thoroughfares. The tract was owned by S. Morton Cohn and .the purchaser is J. B. Yeon, the wealthy timber man, who has been in vesting heavily In Portland realty. For this piece Mr. Yeon paid 5130,000, pur chasing It through the agency of Isaac Baird. There aro at present eight resi dences' upon tho site, which are paying a large revenue. It Is, however, essentially a business site, and the new owner con templates the erection upon it of a large and modern building for office or storo purposes Icon's Second Purchase This property adjoins the Oregon Hotel on the north, and diagonally across from that hostelry, on the southeast corner of Seventh and Stark streets, A. B. Steln bach sold to the same buyer a quarter block. This property, which is worse than unimproved, being occupied by dilap idated shacks, brought 5123,000. It has 100 feet frontage upon Stark and the same on Seventh, and is altogether one of the most choice locations in the city. The adjoining corners arc occupied by the Oregon Hotel, the Portland Public Li brary and the beautiful new Elks build ing. Grindstaff & Schalk made this sale. Just a block east of this site, on Sixth street, the Beck estate sold a lot for 575,000. Grindstaff & Schalk negotiated this deal, and W. H. Grindstaff, a mem ber of the firm, was one of the pur chasers. J. B. Yeon also acquired a one third Interest in this land, and the name of the other purchaser could not be learned last night. The location is just off Stark street, between the Quelle Cafe and the Lafayette building, that is just now undergoing an extensive remodeling. The lot sold has 50 feet frontage on Sixth street. On the same block with the Cohen sale, "Wright & Dixon bought from Mike Do herty, the pioneer transfer man of Port land, a 50x100 strip for $30,000. It joins tho Oregon Hotel upon the rear and faces on Park street with the Cohen property on the north and a strip owned by Dr. Giesy on the south. The figure paid is regarded as exceedingly low, although the lot could have been bought for much less but a short time ago. Advance In Portland Realty. The rate at which Portland realty, es pecially in the section of the city from Washington north, has been advancing Is well illustrated by all of these sales. Just eight years ago. A. B. SVelnbach paid $17,000 for the property that he has now sold for $125,000, purchasing it from Fan nie B. Kelly. Just last week he an nounced that he would build upon it a handsome business structure, for which his plans were all made. "When ap proached yesterday, however, by Grind staff & Schalk. he set his price for the piece at $125,000, and before evening the deal had been closed, Mr. Yeon giving him a cash payment of $75,000 upon the corner. Although the other properties liave been In the same hands for so long that the advance values Is not shown in the same striking way, it Js true that they could have been bought for a much lower amount but a short time ago. Mike Doherty bought the piece for which he has now been paid $30,000 about SO years ago for $16,000. The Sixth-street property lias een in the hands of Aaron Beck for many years. Rise in Price General. This advance has been general in all parts of- the city, although It has 'been especially rapid along lower Stark and Oak streets where a wonderful transfor mation has taken place in the last few years. The improvements of the past, however, bid fair to be outdone in the near future. Many fine buildings are al ready planned for this section, among them the "Wclls-Fargo skyscraper at Sixth and Oak streets, which is now well under way. The prices paid for these pieces, how ever, are not In themselves so significant as the fact that the new owners plan for large and costly buildings to be erected upon them. The extension to the Hotel Oregon will be a six-story brick, fire proof annex to cost $100,000. The proprie tors have been laying plans for the ex tension for some time and have, them outlined so that they can now proceed with only a slight delay. The addition will be modern In every respect. It will pro vide about 75 additional rooms besides many large and fine sample rooms and commodious quarters for the culinary de partment of the hotel. The grill, which occupies the basement of the present building will be extended to double its present sfee. Work upon the annex will begin within a month and probably soon er, according to statements made by Mr. Dixon last night. The Arm has held -an option upon the lot purchased, for the past 'ten days, and closed It yesterday noon. First to Be Improved. The Stelnbach quarter block will be the first of the tracts bought by Mr. Yeon to be improved. Just the character of the building has "not yet been determined, but it Is safe to say that it will be both a credit and an ornament to the city. The frame stable and laundry which cover this ground at present are an eye sore in a section otherwise so well Im proved, and it will stimulate values in the neighborhood to have them torn away and a high brick block substituted. Mr. Yeon will later improve the Cohen halfblock and he, with hia associates', will build upon Sixth street next to the Quelle, where now stand two one-story frames. Mr. Yeon yesterday denied absolutely that he had sold the quarter block owned at Fifth and Alder streets, as re ported. This tract he bought six months ago for $160,000, and has not altered his original intention of erecting upon it a ten-story building as soon as the leases expire to the present buildings. From another source it was heard that he was offered yesterday more than $300,000 for the site, but refused it. Other Realty Acquired. Besides' this sale Mr. Yeon owns several other valuable pieces of Portland realty. Six weeks ago he bought an entire block on East Water street above the Burn-side-street bridge, of which purchase this Js the first printed announcement. For tnis piece lie paid 40,w. He also owns three-quarters of a block at York and Roosevelt streets that he bought last week for $30,000. Ed Lyons owns the other quarter. Few individu als nave made such extensive recent in vestments in this city. The activity of yesterday Is only an evidence of the condition of the market at the present time. Big deals are con stantly in the air and many are consum mated each week. Some of the transac tor's of the past ten days are recorded at the beginning of this article. Many oth ers, mostly for smaller amounts, have occurred. Investors In this and other cities are beginning to realize the truth of the slogan so enthusiastically repeated upon Portland day at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, the echoes of which will ring for many a day "Portland Points the Way." EXCURSION RATE TQ COAST HARRIMAX ROADS MAKE SAMJS AS FOR EXPOSITION. From 3fay to September $60 From Missouri River, $75 From Chicago and Return. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.

' The rate will be tho same as was In effect last year for the Portland Exposition. STORMS YIELDS AFTER ROW Indiana Secretary of State Resigns and "Will Refund. INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 19. During a stormy conference which just closed at the State House, Daniel Storms, Secretary of State, tendered to the Governor his resignation, which was accepted. Fred Simms, of Frankfort, was Immediately ap pointed to succeed Mr. Storms. Storms resignation becomes effective April 1, according to its terms, and on that date Simms will take his place. Be fore that time, according to Governor Hanley, Storms has promised to make up certain moneys alleged to be duo the state aggregating -$6310. The payment of this money was the condition under which the Governor permitted Storms to re main until April 1. Trolley Lino to Mount Rood. PORTLAND, Feb. 19. To the Editor: It Is to be hoped that the "Seeing America" League will be the means of attracting many tourists to this Western country. We certainly have much around Portland to show the -visitor, but if there Is any one thing that would make Portland fa mous it Is a railroad or trolley line to Mount Hood. Outside of the tourist travel it would have considerable pat ronage from the people of Portland and vicinity, who would make frequent trips during the Summer. It would besides, open up a country now Isolated. Per haps a subsidy to the building of such, a road would prompt capital to come "for ward and construct one. In a communi cation to your paper some time since I offered as a starter to subscribe $25 to wards such a subsidy. I will now double that amount towards raising the required sum. Let our enthusiastic friend Tom Richardson, backed by the Commercial Club, take a hand in this matter and per haps It can be accomplished. SIMON HARRIS." Charged With Obstructing Sidewalk. A warrant was Issued from the Munici pal Court yesterday morning for the ar rest of George L. Baker, theatrical man ager, charging him with a violation of the sidewalk ordinance. Sergeant of Police Taylor swore to the complaint, which al leges that the defendant placed an ob struction on tho sidewalk in front of the Baker Theater, contrary to law. Traffic Agents Postpone Session. The annual convention of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic Agents, which was scheduled to be held at Ash land next 'Saturday, has been postponed, and will probably be held sometime In May.- Several of the California delegates were unable to get away from their offices at this time, and the session was delayed on their account. Three Candidates for Coroner. OREGON CITY. Or., Feb. 19. (Special.) Coroner R. L. Holman today announced that he will be a candidate for renoml natlon and re-election on the Republican ticket at the primary election. Mr. Hol man has been Coroner for two -successive terms.

Contrary to expectation, a grand jury was Impaneled, supposedly for the pun pof: of Investigating the charges of graft recently made by W. A. Goodln, a -contractor, against City Street Inspector W.

VOTE S HIS OWN Masters Will Not Be Dictated to by Petitions. .WILL USE OWN JUDGMENT Councilman Presides at the Sleeting of .the Liquor License Committee and Signs the Applications for Licenses. Councilman Masters came In fo'r consid erable good-natured raking from his fellow-members of the liquor license com mittee yesterday in consequence of peti tions circulated by East Side churches asking him to vote against every appli cation for a liquor license. In the ab sence of Chairman Thomas Gray, who is sojourning in Southern California, Mr. Masters was elected to preside over the proceedings of the body yesterday, and acquitted himself with marked ability, being thus absolved from voting upon any question that concerned the revocation of liquor licenses. It did not prevent him from signing applications for other II cenws, however, and he attached hln sig nature to several that had been passed upon as proper "by tho other members. In fact, as one of the leading spirits of the joint liquor license and Judiciary and elections commltlces, to whom was re ferred the box ordinance introduced at the last session of the Council. Mr. Mas ters had the distinction of being asso ciated with Councilman Shepherd In the preparation of an entirely new measure of the. kind, which is to be presented at the next meeting of the committee, a fort night hence. "I shall pay no attention whatever to any petition instructing me how to vote," said Mr. Masters, In reply to an Inquiry as to what action he Intended to take relative to the church petitions. "I under stand my duties, and shall be governed accordingly, without any outside assist ance, although I am always ready to re ceive suggestions from any source," he added pleasantly. Consideration of the proposed box ordi nance produced some peculiar situations. In fact. It was asserted by Councilman Belding that Chief Grltxmachcr had told him that when the crusade against local saloon boxes was first begun he had re quested the Auditor's office to furnish him a copy of the ordinance bearing on the subject, in order to be better In formed and prepared to enforce Its pro visions along the Lane Ideas of reform, but, through a misunderstanding, had been given the fac simile of one then before the Council, but afterward cither vetoed or repealed In some way, a com bination of circumstances that led the Chief to think it obliterated all law on the subject. In the meantime. It Is said, he had proceeded under tho provisions of the measure received from the City Auditor's office, and had succeeded In securing the removal of practically every saloon box In town, the proprietors of tho places obeying his orders to remove the partitions without any question what soever, except in Isolated capes. Chief Grltzmaclicr is alleged to have got his original ideas that doors were not allowed on saloon or restaurant boxes through this mlxup in the matter, as It was contended by several of the Councll mcn that there was nothing In any mu nicipal measure ever In existence that had any special reference to doors In connection with boxes of any sort. THINKS BEESWAX PITCH Substance Found on Peninsula Thought to Be Fir Pitch. Dr. David Raffety, who has made some Investigation, has come to the conclusion that the substance found on the Penin sula, where the O. R. & N. Co. is grading for a branch railway, and pronounced the same as the Nchalem beeswax, now In the possession of Colonel Hawkins, has conic to the conclusion, first, that it Is not bees wax, and, second, that it is vegetable pitch, or turpentine, from the large trees that once 6tood In the Columbia Slough country. Dr. Raffety obtained a small fragment of the chunk, and finds that it burns readily and gives off a very pro nounced odor of. pitch, or turpentine. Dr. Raffety says that in early days, when the land of Columbia Slough was being cleared, the fire would burn underground sometimes a distance of 50 and 70 feet, following the roots of the great trees, or following the course of the flow of the pitch from the trees. He has concluded from the Information obtained from Henry Holtgrieve and other pioneers on Columbia Slough that the pitch from the big fir or spruce trees saturated the sand surrounding their roots, whlch hardened in the masses that have been found. Sev eral years ago a chunk of the same ma terial was dug np by a man who was ex cavating for a house in Powell "Valley, and it was brought to Dr. David Raffety, -who then pronounced it a vegetable pitch which flowed from the big trees that once stood where the chunk was unearthed, but had given away to the ax of the pioneer. It would burn readily. On the other hand. Dr. C H. Raffety, who is a good deal of a scientist also, at once pronounced the chunk found as "bituminous shale." and that It was car ried to the place where It was found by tne glacier that deposited the Gravel Hill district. However, he agrees with his brother that It may have come from the pitch of trees becoming mixed with sand and forming a compact mass. Both con tend that It has none of the properties of beeswax. In view of these opinions, the result of the further investigation to be made at the Pacific University, at Forest Grove, will bo Interesting. IN GENERAL DEMAND. Significant of the consumption of champagne la this country Is the quick appreciation of wine perfection which keeps Moct & Chandon champagne at the head of the list of Importations into the United States. Last year there were brought Into the port of New York S9.3S7 cases of Moct & Chandon champagne, which amount is over SO per cent greater than the importations of the brand second on the list, as shown In the Custom-House statistics. Moot & Chandon "White Seal vintage 1900. is selected for service almost ex clusively at prominent functions, and the large reserve of this grand wine serves to maintain the popular demand for . It.
