HOUSES COST $100,000 Masonic Temple and Power Com pany Among Extensive Improve ments Contemplated and Under Way With Fine Residences. OREGON CITY,,Or.. Aug. 4. (Spe cial.) Never has' there been a time In Oregon City's history when build ing; operations have been so extensive as at the present time. Business blocks and residences are going up in every part of the city and the steady growth of the city and its suburbs is marked with scenes of activity. The work that will mean the most to Oregon City is that of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, which is spending about $103,000 this Summer. Early in April soundings were taken and a flood wall of con crete is being placed across the head of the basin, which will be closed as far as old Station A. This will be used for a coffer dam when construc tion commences on the new high-power station, which will be built in sections. The company has had employed about 15 D men this Summer. Its ultimate in tention is to construct heavy concrete piers on the west side of the river and these will be utilized to support a drift boom, whose purpose is to di vert floating drifts from Station B pond. Extensive repairs will be made to the canal and locks and it is- ex pected to complete this work before October 1. Excavation has been in progress for the new power plant on the East Side and the rock from the excavation is being used for the con crete work. Probably by next Spring the actual construction of the new plant will commence. This high-power plant will be built in 10,000-horsepower sections, with three units to the sec tion. Multnomah Lodge, A. F. & A. M., is erecting a new temple, on Main street, between Seventh and Eighth streets, and the walls are now going up. This will be the largest brick building in the city, with the exception of the mills and factories. It will be three and one half stories in helghth and will cover about one-eighth of a block. Adjoin ing this building will be erected a two-story brick structure by J. Wallace Cole. The Masonic Temple will prob ably "oe ready for occupancy by the late Fall. The Dr. John McLoughlin Institute on the property of St. John's Church is nearing completion. The exterior is finished and workmen are now busy getting the interior in readiness for the opening of school in September. This will be a three-story building, with a large annex, and will replace the pres ent St. John's Parochial and High ' School. - On Main street, north of Eleventh, Frank Busch is erecting a large store and warehouse and expects to move in about October 1. The building has a frontage of 65 feet and a depth of 105 feet. The lower floor under the raised street will be utilized for a warehouse and three upper floors for furniture salesrooms. In the suburb of Bolton an-addition 30x30 feet is being built to the school house. Many fine residences are under way, one of the best being that of Judge Thomas F. Ryan at Gladstone. When complete this will be one of the finest country homes in Clackamas County, being 'situated on the river with the Clackamas on one side and overlooking the Willamette. The architecture is colonialTtnd the house has 17 rooms. There is a 10-foot veranda, 160 feet long, around the building. Judge Ryan's place consists of more than 160 acres of land ana practically all of it is under cultivation. Dr. L. L. Pickens and John B. Lewthwaite are Just finishing sightly homes in West Oregon City. The lat ter is a large bungalow and is the only structure of its kind here. C. W. Evans, John Bittner, Sam O. Dillman, Mrs. Ellen Warren and others are building residences and Dr. E. A. Sommer is planning tho construction of a new home on Water street near the foot of Tenth. Repairs are being made to the Caufield building on Main and Eighth streets and to the homes of Mr. Burke at Green Point and the Moreland House. It is estimated that Improvements and buildings under way in this city will cost very close to $100,000. FINE YIELD PALOrSE WHEAT Sixty Bushels to Acre of Splendid " Quality Not Unusual. GARFIELD, Wash., Aug. 4. (Special.) R. C. MeCroskey, the wheat king of the fertile Palouse. who farms about 2500 acres of land, will finish cutting and shocking his Fall-sown wheat today. For two weeks Mr.. McCroskey has had 17 self-binders and an army of men and horses working early and late In hi wheat fields, but today the work will be completed and next week will sea the threshing machines busy threshing the crop. A. H. Plummer. of the Garfield Land Company, drove over a big stretch of McCroskey's wheat fields yesterday and said: "Mr. MeCrortcey has the finest wheat I have ever seen, and I have harvested thousands of acres of grain in Eastern Washington in days that are past. He has wheat that will make as high as 60 bushels an acre. Some fields will go 50 bushels an acre and some 40 bushels." Mr. McCroskey is himself very conser vative, but says he expects 1000 acres of the crop to make 40.000 bushels. The wheat is of an excellent quality and so far has been handled without any dam age by rain. Mr. McCroskey will store his wheat as fast as it is threshed and expects to get a splendid price for it when he gets ready to sell. Mr. McCroskey has hun dreds of acres now in Summer fallow, ready to seed as soon as the harvest is over. SEEK RELIEF BY RIVER ROUTE Poor Service of Southern Pacific Starts Steamer Talk. McMINNVILLE. Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) Hop-growers in this vicinity are anxious to co-operate with other heavy shippers and build or purchase a small steamboat to run on the Willamette and Yamhill rivers as far as this city, for their own sonvenience and economy in shipping freight to and from McMinnvIlle. The hop-men have a grievance against the Southern Pacific Company. A community hop warehouse to be built by the growers baa been under contemplation here for more than a year. They could not ob tain a lease of ground from the railroad company without first absolving the company from all blame or liability In case of loss by fire. This would virtually preclude the possibility of obtaining any protection from the insurance companies. The hopmen then purchased a tract of ground adjacent to the railroad com pany's right-of-way and asked the com pany to extend a siding to the building when erected. Upon thi request being refused, they asked for the privilege of building a tramway to the present side track, but were emphatically told fna? they could not reach Harrlman's freight cars by that means. Hence they are now turning to the river route. Fine Wheat. Yield at Weston. WESTON, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) The wheat crop In the Weston neighborhood is good, and will exceed all former rec ords In this region. Large acreages are universal. James Rltchey cropped 2390 sacks from 100 acres, an average of 58 bushels. Price brothers had over 2300 sacks from 100 acres and their 320-acre field promises almost equally as well. Just west of town, O. M. Richmond is getting more than 55 bushels per acre. Hey Winn had 1725 sacks from 90 acres in the Day Creek district, an average of 43 bushels. Forty bushels promises to be the minimum yieia for Fall wheat in this vicinity. "Dale Globy" wheat, a new va riety developed by W. H. Dale from a few strange heads found in his field in 1900, is the best producer. GO FAR AFIELD FOR WOOD VALLEY CITIES FITfD FTTEL PRICES HIGHER THAN EVER. Consumers Are Compelled to Bring in Supplies From Distant Points by Railroads. ALBANY. Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) Though there are forests on three sides of Albany, about 100 carloads of fuel wood will be shipped Into this city this Summer by rail. Wood prices have reached a point far beyond any former prices for fuel in this city and residents are finding it profitable to secure their wood at Gates, Detroit and other mountain points along the Corvallls & Eastern Railroad, and ship it in by the carload. Wood prices have risen 50 per cent over last year's prices here and have doubled in the past two years on most kinds of wood. There is no oak wood on the market here at a price less than $6 per cord. Big fir is selling for $5.50 per corji and small fir from $4 to $5, depending on the size and quality. Scarcity of labor, not scarcity of well located fuel timber, is the cause of this condition. There is plenty of timber, suitable for cord wood, close to Albany in all directions but it has been almoBt im possible to get men to cut wood the past Winter. A few years ago men would cut cordwood for as low as 50 cents a cord. Last year the price had risen to $1 a cord and during the past few months men have refused to cut wood A any price, so many opportunities for work at high wages being offered In other lines of work. As a result very little wood was cut in" this vicinity the past Fear and there would be a wood famine here of alarm ing proportions did not Albany enjoy rail road communication with the mountain towns along the North Santlam River, where wood can be secured more easily "and with less labor. As it is, many peo ple say they will burn no oak wood this Winter but will depend on fir knots for heating purposes. GRAIN MARKET OPENS HIGHER Good Prices and Record Crop in Lewiston District. LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 4. (Spe cial.) The grain market in the Lewis ton country has opened, the first quo tations being 10 cents higher than the opening last year. Indications are for a record-breaking crop. Bluestem at 68 cents and club at 65 cents, mark, with the exception of a very few sea sons, the high opening price record of this section. In 1905 the record-price was paid, then going to 75 cents. "While threshing in the lower sec tions of the grain belt Is now in progress," said E. W. Eaves, of the Vollmer-Clearwater Company today, "practically none of the crop has been sold. The only sales would be con fined to the sale of. small quantities that were under contract or in in stances where the farmer had but a Bmall amount to market. "I expect, however, to see the crop move rapidly, for the good prices will appeal to the farmers. Unless some unforeseen condition arises the prairie region will return the largest crop in its history. Haying is now In progress, but a week or so of this weather will fully mature the stand. Crops, so far, are universally good." WILTi BEAUTIFY BUTTE FALLS Rapidly Growing Town Goes in for Civic Improvement. BUTTE FALLS. Or.TAug. 4. (Special.) The citizens of Butte Falls have estab lished a permanent public park Improve ment committee which will set about beautifying, by fencing and seating, the park and making It an attractive plea suns ground. At the same meeting the citizens took formal 'steps for the Im mediate organization of a Commercial Culb and Board of Trade. It Is expected much progress and development of the town will come through this organiza tion. 'At the next session of the County Court, the judcial department will be thoroughly organized, with S. S. Pentz, as judge. The Pine Belt Banking Company has near ly completed a two-story structure and will soon be onen for banking business, with G. P. Jester, as cashier. The Hotel McMahon, has been rebuilt and thorough ly furnished and is under the manage ment 6f McMahon Bros., who are experi enced hotel men. Building operations are going on in every direction and the only drawback is the lack of necessary materials of construction. Will Build New Warehouse. NORTH POWDER, Or.. Aug. 4. (Spe cial.) Having completed its new lOOx 43-foot warehouse on Second street this week, the North Powder Produje Company starts the work next Monday of erecting a second and larger ware house across the street from the rail road on the street of that name, the same contractor in charge, T. J. Norval. The new building will have a frontage of 100 feet and 60 feet depth, with an elevator 40 by 60 feet and 36 feet high. New Bank for Unlontown. LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 4. (Special.) The Fidelity State Bank, of Unlontown, Wash., opened Its doors for business for the first time Monday morning. The new bank is capitalized at $10,000. George B. Weiber is president, John B. Thill, vice president, and J. L. Taggart, cashier. FIGHT FOR PRESTIGE Two Towns Want to Be Cen ter of Irrigation District. BOTH ARE GROWING FAST Hanford and White Bluffs Seek to Become Metropolis of New Han ford Irrigation' Tract on Columbia River. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Aug. 4, (Special) A lively contest for supremacy as the future metropolis of the Hanford Irrigation tract on the Columbia is in progress between the two little towns of White Bluffs and Hanford, situated within six miles of each other. White Bluffs at present Is in the lead with a number of streets graded and named and quite a lot of sidewalk work accomp lished. Hanford, however, is the proud possessor of a two-story hotel and a two story office building. Both towns! tes have been promoted by stockholders In the Hanford Irrigation Company. Those who floated the White Bluffs townsite say the management of" the Hanford company promised to recog nize that town and have since acted in bad faith in promoting the townsite of Hanford. As a result a lively fight Is 1n progress. Nearly all the lots In White Bluffs have been sold, business lots going as high as $300, and an addition is now being platted. As the Hanford project involves the re clamation of 32.000 acres of fine fruit and ranch land, there Is no doubt, but that a big city will grow up some- day at one or other of the two points. There Is considerable talk of an electric railroad to connect with Kennewick or some other point on the Northern Pacific railroad. Owing to the strength of the current of the Columbia, transportation up river Is very slow, White Bluffs is situated about forty miles from Kenne wick but the new steamer put on the run, the Mountain Gem, and which is a better boat than the old steamer, takes seven hours to make the trip. As the Hanford project is a "pumping" scheme, with a big power plant at Priest Rapids, it is thought an electric road could be built and operated at a comparatively low cost, and that it would greatly increase the value of the land there can be no question. POTLATCH SCHEMES FINANCED Work W"IU Begin on Big Irrigation and Railroad Projects. LEWISTON, ' Idaho, Aug. 4. (Spe cial.) Work on the Lewiston-Waha irrigation project and the electric road from Lewiston to Nez Perce and Grangeville will be commenced with in the next few months, accord ing to an announcement made by W. P. Hurlbut, president of the Commercial Trust Company, who has been In New York for the past 11 months, where, through his New York banking house, he has succeded in financing the two big projects. The completion of the two projects will represent an expenditure of ap proximately $9,000,000, and will place under irrigation an area of 35,000 acres lying directly south of the city, build a railroad for 130 miles into one of the largest grain producing sections of the Northwest and develop an electric power on Salmon River of 40,000 horse power. USES COME FROM AFAR ENGLISH-BRED STOCK BOUGHT BY PULLMAN BREEDER. Importation Is Perhaps Best Blood Ever Brought to Pacific Northwest. PULLMAN. Wash.. Aug. 4. (Special.) Sixteen .head of horses owned by M. C. Gray, arrived in Pullman last night from London, England, via New York, mak ing probably one of the longest contin uous shipments ever made to date in the United States. The nor-es were In charge of F. Freshney and his brother W. Freshney, and came over the At lantic on the steamer Mlnnetonka, leav ing England July 13, and arriving in Pullman July 28. The shipment comprises Hackney stal lions. Shire stallions, and Shire mares. The Hackney stallions were bred by Sir Walter Gilbert, sired by Danegalt, out of Wildfire mares, the best possible breeding to produce in the Hackney strain, while the fenire stallions are sired by the Royal Champion winner, Markeaton-Royalherald, out of Nail stone mares, making the best combina tion of Shlreblood ever brought to America. The bunch of eight registered Shire mares are equally well bred, and are individually the best lot of mares ever shipped to the Pacific Nortnwest. M. C. Gray, the proprietor, has spared neither pains nor expense to mane this a shipment of horses that can be looked up to as a standard by otners, and will leave its Impress upon breeding interests of this section In a manner., hitherto un known. For the past six years Mr. liray has had his headquarters in Pullman and in that time has done much to advance the interests and raise the grade of stock in this vicinity and throughout the Northwest. His stables, with their large number of thoroughbreds, hate drawn many visitors to this city. Harvest in Yakima County. KIONA; Wash., Aug. 4. (Special.) Out on the Rattlesnake- River harvesting is well along and some of the fields are turning out a yield of 30 bushels to the acre. The wheat is of fine quality. At Horse Heaven the combines started work this week. Trade Is dull in the Lower Yakima Valley towns Just now, as the farmers are hard at work in their wheat fields and cannot take time to come to town. The merchants anticipate a big trade this Fall when the ranchers begin to haul their wheat to- market. Wheat Crop Good in Linn. ALBANY, Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.) Linn County's wheat yield this year is better than that of last, both in quan tity and quality. Wheat thus far threshed is running 23 and 24 bushels to the acre, which Is a little better than last year's average, and a great deal better than during most of the seasons of the past 10 years. The grain this year' is also of a much better quality than the 1906 yield. Considerable grain is now coming into Albany for storing in the local warehouses and mills. Threshers are running in all parts of the county, but owing to the scarcity of labor, not a great deal of the grain is being hauled. On most of the farms there will not be much hauling done until the end of the threshing season, for, because of the lack of extra labor, most of the farm ers are required to go with the machines. Harvesting in Palonse. GARFIELD, Wash.. Aug! 4. (Spe cial.) Garfield is experiencing the hottest weather of the season, and for several days the thermometer ' has played around 90 and 97 in-the, shade, but the nights are quite cool and the harvest hands, many of whom are from the East, are enjoying the work in the big wheat belt. They say that although the days are hot, they do not feel the heat as they did in the Eastern states, and that here the nights are so cool and refreshing they can sleep well. After the night's rest they are ready for the work In. the early morning, whereas in the East the nights were so hot it was almost impossible to. get a good night's rest during the harvest season. Work in the wheat fields is progressing nicely, and thousands of acres are being cared for daily. The farmers are rushing the work and hope to get the big Palouse crop housed before the rainy season sets In. Water Company Incorporates. LEWTSTOY Trtnhn liii. A ll , -"."6.

Exclusive Carpet House 86-88 THIRD STREET SITE OF A GREAT CITY Visit every coast in the world, and wherever you find a protected harbor with sufficient depth to accommodate the biggest of the ocean vessels, you will find a large city. Visit all the large seaport cities of the world and you will find them all located on deep-water harbors. It is an axiom from which there is no deviation. Bay City is located at the head of deep-water navigation on Tillamook Bay. No city can be built north or souh of it. Bay City is the logical, natural and only site for a large city on the entire Pacific Coast from San Francisco to the mouth of the Columbia. By the application of the sternest kind of logic, Bay City cannot possibly avoid the distinction of soon becoming one of the leading seaports of the world. As an instance of the exceedingly low prices at which property can now be pur chased, we offer the corner opposite the depot of the Lytle railroad, 200 feet square, listed at $7600, for $5000 cash.

MEN'S WEAKNESS Note the announcements of all other spe cialists and medical Institutes and you will see now little they say about their treatment for Men's Weaknesses and how lightly they pass over the subject. Yet one man out of every four has a vital weakness which oonstantly drains his power, and that man must continually force Tfc Lsaata Specialist, himself along in his everyday path of living. There is no real Joy or happiness that Is not marred by his ever-present feeling that he is not as other men. Now to such men I offer hope. I not only hold out a helping hand to lift them up, but I urge them ear nestly to ascept my aid. I can gain their confidence from the first examination by locating the seat of their trouble exactly, and can al ways entirely convince them of the logical effect of my treatment When I explain Its action. I never charge for this examination or oonsultatlon. "Weakness" Means Just This That there is some functional derangement, the direct result of Inflammation, enlargement or exoessive sensitiveness of the prostate gland, brought on by early dissipation or resulting from Improperly treated oontracted disorder. This condition oannot possibly be removed by Internal medicines, and any tonio system of treatment that stimulates the activity of ths function oan t-ut result In aggravating the real ail ment. This Is a sclentino truth I have ascertained after a careful and scientific study and upon which my own original system of treatment is based. I employ neither tonics, stimulants nor eleotrlc belts. I treat by local direct methods exclusively, and my success In curing even those cases that others have failed to temporarily relieve with their tonics la conclusive evtdenoe that my method Is the only possible means of a complete, radical and permanent cure.
