8- 16 THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, 3IAKCH 2, 15HKJ. SE CQHD MONTH N REAL ESTATE Sales for February Exceed Those of Any Like Period in Portland. WHAT THE DEEDS SHOW More Tlian Two Million Three Hun dred Thousand Dollars Are the Figures for the Month .lust Cached. Fobriiary. with only 23 business days, holds tb yeord for the volume of real estate transfers abore every other month In the history of Portland. The total sales for the past months, as shown in the books of the County Clerk's office, mount to $2,309,150. This Is the first time that the 52,000,000 mark has been reached In this city. The summary kept by the Daily Recorder for the past two years shows no month when the total monthly business even approached this figure, and it goes without saying that It was equaled by no month previous to that time. j An idea of the rapid Increase which has j t been made in the activity of the Portland market is given by observing that th ) Kales for February. 1105. amounted to only I 3502.760, or MoS.lSO less than one-fourth those of the past month. The sales for I the month of last January wore SMiVS.Sii. I J The best record made previous to the j month just closed was for last December. I when the books showed transactions amounting to $1.?02.WM. It is evident, therefore, that the past month has ex ceeded the best of its predecessors by al jnost jr-W.OOO. How Recording- Is Done. Even with these large flgures-the official records arc much below the actual trans- , 4 actions. Many of the largest deals have J been recorded at the usual fictitious j i values, and this practice was even more j ? In evidence during the past month than j I usual. In fact, it has been customary for . many buyers to conceal the real value of I I their purchases, especially the railroads, j which have been making extensive pur- ' chases and recording nearly all of them In this way. Dealers regard the heavy buying shown In the February figures as a true indica tion of what may be confidently expected for the remainder of the year. The fig ures were swelled by no exceptionally large transfer, but reprosent activity that was constant throughout the entire month. It is also a fact that a majority of the large deals of the past month have not yet been recorded. Already enough sales have been made and not recorded to assure the March figures to be as great as those of February. If large sales arc so frequent throughout the rest of the year, and there seems to be every indica tion that they will be, the year 1005 will establish a record twice as large as last year, which was an advance over Its pred ecessors. Big- Railroad Deal. Yesterday a deal involving 5200,000 was consummated by the Portland & Seattle Railway Company, which purchased an entire block to add to the terminal yards already bought in North Portland. The block Is at Fifteenth and Thurman streets and is occupied by the warehouse of Mitchell. Lewis & Staver. The firm which sold has for some time been considering changing the location of its warehouse to the wholesale district of East Portland. Some time ago an option was secured upon block 5S of the Ladd Instate, and this option was closed coinci dent with tho sale of te other building yesterday. The present warehouse will be torn down and new quarters erected on the site just purchased, which Is on the south side of East Morrison street, adjoining the Studebaker warehouse. Another sale has just been made on the East Side, F. W. Leadbetter purchasing :in undivided two-thirds interest in a block at Bast Morrison and Water streets adjoining the Morrison-street bridge on the south. The property was owned by H. C. Leonard, who sold for $40,000. The re maining interest is owned by the Green estate. East Side Transaction. The Acme Mills Company yesterday se cured six lots from the Montgomery es tate, in Lower Albina. paying 512.000 for the property. Two of the lots adjoin the iplant the company has in Lower Al bina, having 50-foot frontage on Railroad street, 200 feet on Albina avenue and 50 feet on Goldsmith street. The other four Jots are the south hnlf of the block, hav ing a frontage of 100 feet on Railroad and J-orlng and 200 on Albina avenue. The Acme Mills Company will enlarge its plant. Russell & Blyth have completed the preliminary plans for the 14-story sky scraper which they will build at the siortheast corner of Sixth and Stark streets, as announced in The Oregonlan Home time ago, and have engaged B. "Wls lar Morris, Jr.. of New York City, to pre ;pare the specifications. Mr. Morris is nlso the architect for the building now meing erected hy wells-Fargo & Co. at Sixth and Oak streets, and the two build fings will be of equally high character. The Russell & Blyth building will cover a site 50x100 and will be the highest build ang in the city. The firm has been planning to build for some time and will prepare to go ahead with the pro ject soon after the plans have been com pleted by Mr. Morris. Mr. Blyth will leave about the end of the month for England, where the firm expects to close a large financial deal, and the work of construction Is expected to commence upon his return. Sixth-Street Improvements. The Improvement of Sixth street is go ing on very rapidly and the prices which have been rising rapidly In the district will be still further stimulated when the Hussell & Blyth building is commenced. The Wells-Fargo building is less than a block from this site, and the Steinbach property, which Is to be improved by J. B. Yeon, Is at Seventh and Stark. The property next to the Quelle, on the ad joining block, was bought last week by Mr. Yeon and two associates, who will erect a large building upon it. Tho contract for the two stories which are to be added to the Chamber of Com merce building has been awarded to David "Williams. It is estimated that this addi tion will cost about $100,000. The ninth fioor will be occupied by the Commercial Club, together with its present quarters in the eighth story. The tenth floor will be used for offices. With the improve ments the Chamber of Commerce will be not only one of the best, but also one ol the highest buildings in the city. J. G, Kilgrecn has been given the con tract for erecting a two-story bricX building on the property owned by the D. P. Thompson estate at the northeast cor ner of Third and Madison streets. The structure will cover a quarter block and be two stories high. It will cost between $15,000 and $20,000. NOT TO RETARD BUILDING Joseph Buchtel Says Fire Limits, East Side, Must Be Reasonable. The committee appointed, by the East Side Improvement Association to assist in describing: new boundary lines for lire limits In East Portland, including- Coun cilman Sharkey, Joseph Buchtel and Dr. C. H. Haffcty. will liave a conference with a committee from the Council this afternoon at 5 o'clock. Mr. Buchtel, an old fireman, says that it is a problem to say what territory .should be Included In new limits so as not to retard improve ment. That, he said, was the one thin? to be avoided In fixing fire limits, but Mr. Buchtel thinks brick structures should be required, where they can be put up at not too great expense, and nlso that there should be some restrictions on wooden structures to be erected in the district between Grand avenue and the Willam ette River. He advocates bulkheads con crally under such wooden structures as have been built and may be built here after on piles and elevated foundation as one preventive of the spreading- of fires underneath them. All phases of the question will be gone over to the end that Improvements will not be retarded, and yet thst reasonable boundary lines and restriction be estab lished. Every fill in East Portland is found to increase fire protection in this territory, and with all the fills prospective and under way the insurance rates are TKAMKIt ItEDONDO. expected to be reduced materially as s compensation for erecting more expen sivc structures. j 1 rl I ID ' CLUB ' !

PILES UP DNJETTY LI Steamer Redondo Refuses to Answer Helm at Criti cal Moment. SAVED BY DOUBLE BOTTOM Cargo Is Being- Lightered and the Vessel "Will Have to Return to the Drydock for Repairs. Other Xevrs. But for the fact that she is equipped with double bottoms, the steamer Rc don'do would, in all probability, be resting In the deep channel of the Columbia River off St. Helens Instead of hanging on the rocks of the Jetty forming a breakwater in the middle of the river at that point. The Redondo went aground "Wednesday night and tore a hole in the bottom near the bow, but tho break docs not extend WHICH WKNT OX ST. HELEN'S JETTY to the Inner walls, and it Is believed that the cargo of wheat will be found Intact. The Redondo struck the rock jetty at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday evening. She left ort'and for Sa" Franrifco about 3 o'clock, in command of Captain Ahlin. with Pilot A. A. Bailey at the whel. her j cargo consisting of S00 tons of wheat and Su'J.OOO fet-t of lumber. Approaching the Jetty at the rate of 14 knots an hour, the steamer refused suddenly toanswer her helm. and. sheering off to port, plowed her way clean through the row of piling that forms the breakwater and onto the rocks for a distance of 40 feet. The rocks arc partly submerged, but nevertheless a por tion of lh bow was raised sufficiently to expose the kcfl. Captain Ahlin was fearful that the swift current would possibly drag the craft from her perilous position, and for that reason ordered the lifeboats swung ready for launching on a moment's notice, and the 15 passengers were Instructed what to do In case the hull should threaten to slide into the deep channel under the pro jt'Ctlng stern. But, like the Geo. W. Elder, which went on the rocks at Goble. the Redondo hud found a solid resting place, and it will probably require the combined power of several tugs to dis lodge her. The- passengers remained on board over night, and yesterday morning they were transferred to St. Helens on a gasoline boat. They came to Portland last night on the steamer T. J. Potter. J and those who did not take the train will make another start for their destination tonight on the Columbia. George Taylor. Jr., agent for the steamer. returned from the scene of the disaster last night on the steamer Hoo Hoo, and STKAMKK 1 XTK LI,I GKXCK. Due to Arrive. Sioamer From Data. F. A.

He believes tlie cargo of wheat Intact, although the forward ballast tank appears to have filled with water through a hole In the bottom near the bow. "The Redondo will have to be brought back to Portland and placed on the dry dock," said Mr. Taylor last night, "but I think her injuries are comparatively slight. . Captain Andrew Hobcn, surveyor for the Bcureau Veritas, who hurried to the wreck, made a careful examination and recommended the discharging of the deckload of lumber at once. Barges were -brought down from Portland by the steam er Star and the lumber will probably b-s off some time In the morning. Captain Hoben did not think It necessary to light er the wheat until tho steamer reaches Portland. "The accident was due to something go ing -wrong with the steering-gear, so I am told, and apparently could not be avoided. The Redondo has been on the Portland-San Francisco rur for a long time, on a semi-monthly schedule, and this Is the first time that she has met with a mishap of a serious nature. How ever, luckily no one was injured or even frightened." Many Lives Lost In "Wreck. , HAUGESUND, Norway, March L ICO Thirty men were drowned last night by the wreck between Haugesund and Ber gen, off the Norwegian coast, on the steamer Thor. The vessel's cable broke during a hurricane, and she was blown ashore and sunk. Only three of her crew were saved. MVX-RUXTIXG SKIPPER. Captain Bowes, or the Amaranth, Is Looking- for Japanese Carpenter. Aided by an officer in blue. Captain E. C. Bowes, master of the barkcntlnc Ama ranth, hag spent considerable time since his arrival hunting for the Japanese car penter, who escaped from the vessel "Wednesday morning, despite the fact that "he had been refused landing because of being afflicted with trachema. Wednesday night captain Bowes ano i a police officer visited every Japanese j hold-out in the city, and went so tar as io arouse me Japanese ?evuu iijiuti wm ployed In the north end of the city, where the railroads arc doing considerable im provement "work. The Japanese were or dered to display their physiognomies, but not a one of them bore enough resem blance to the missing carpenter to Induce Captain Bowes to cause nn arrest, al though such procedure might have saved him a fine. Captain Bowes says he took overy pre caution to bring a healthy crew from Shanghai, and to make sure, had all his men examined and vaccinated before sail ing from the Chinese port.

Experience of a Minister Who Tried Think That of Coffee. to "A descendant of the Danes, a nation of coffee drinkers. I used coffee freely till 1 was 30 years old." writes a clergyman from Iowa. "At that time I was a slu dent at a Biblical Institute, and suddenly became aware of the fact that my nerves had become demoralized, my brain dull and sluggish and that Insomnia was fas tening its hold upon me. "I was loath to believe that these things came from the coffee I was drink ing, but at last was forced to that con clusion, and quit lu "I was so accustomed to a hot tablo beverage and felt the need of it so much that after abstaining from coffee for a time and recovering my health. I went back to it. I did this several times, but always with disastrous results. I had about made up my mind that coffee was a necessary evil. "About this time a friend told mc that I would And Postum Food Coffee very fine and In many respects away ahead of coffee. So I bought some and, making It very carefully according to the direc tions, wc were delighted to find that he had not exaggerated In the least. From that day to this we have liked It better than tho old kind of coffee or anything else In the way of a table drink. "Its use gave me.

The power that gives you life and motion is the nerve force, or nerve fluid, located in the nerve cells of the brain, and sent out through the nerves to the various organs. If you are tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, peri odical pains, indigestion, dys pepsia, stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak. Power-producing fuel is need ed : something to increase nerve energy strengthen the nerves. Dr. Miles' Restorative Ner vine is the fuel you need. It feeds the nerves, produces nerve force, and restores vitality. "When I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and AnU-Paln Pills I was confined to my bed. I bad severe nervous spells, tho result of two years illness with malaria. I gradually grew so weak: that I was unable to sit up. The spells would commence with cold chills, snd I wculd become weak and almost help less. My circulation was poor. I had doctored risht along but grew weaker and weaker.

Miles Medical Ccw Elkhart, Ind DID A WORLD OF GOOD MADE A HAPPY MAN OUT OF A WRETCHED DYSPEPTIC. Dr. Wllllams'Tlnk Pills ICuro Heart Pains, Dizzy Spells and Weakness. Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that is what most sufferers think of dyspepsia. They are astonished when their stomach begins to trouble them seriously. Thoy can't think of any adequate cause. Thev had been eatinir hnrrierllv and Irregularly for a long time, to be sure, but they supposed their stomachs quite used to that. "Why should they give out all at once and make them restless and ' sleepless and faint and dizzy? ; Some people know that the strength ' which the weak stomach needs, and for the lack of which the whole body is suf fering, can be found surely and quickly in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In hun dreds of instances these pills have suc ceeded where every other remedy had I failed, and m every case the cure was radical. "My indigestion," said Mr. J.R. Mil ler, of Dayton, Ya., " came in the first place from the fact that a few years ago I worked a great deal at night, and ate at any odd hour whenever the chance came, and always very hurriedly. One day I found myself a victim of terrible dyspepsia. It kept me miserable all the time for several years. " I always had a great deal of distress after eating, and when I got up from my sleep my stomach would be so weak that it would hardly take any food. I had Tery uncomfortable feelings about my heart, and was dizzy and, whenever I stooped over and then straightened up, my eyes would be badly blurred. "I read the statements of several per sons who had got rid of obstinate stom ach troubles by using Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I bought some and they did mo a world of good. They acted promptly and did just what was claimed for them. I have no more distress af ter meals; the bad feeling has gone from tho region of my heart; the alarming dizzy spells have disappeared, and I am strong again." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob tained at any drug store. They can be used with safety for any length of time as they contain no opiates, stimulants or harmful drugs.
