Wortman & King:, on the Pen uoyer block, to be 200x200. and five stories In height, and the other a fcuildtng of eight or ten stories. 100x130, on the corner of Alder and Sixth streets. These announcements were re ceived with great satisfaction by the realty trade, a these new buildings are sure to result in a brink movement in downtown holdings. The addition of two big department store buildings to those of other Impor tant buildings for which permits will be issued during the coming month will again put Portland away up on the . list of cities of the country making In creases In comparison with correspond ing months of the previous year. Subcontracts have been let by W. R. Griffith for the 1. M. Buell apartment hnusn to be erected at Fourteenth and Salmon streets this Summer. It Is to be of Ave stoi;ies. and will contain 25 apartments of three to four rooms each, to cost, when completed, about $25,000. Travis & Wilson have awarded con tracts for the erection of tiie four-flat building for Captain L. A. Builey at Park and Clifton streets, to cost about $10,000. Alterations are under way on the McGinn property at Seventh and Wash ington streets, now under lease of 25 years to Jennings Co. Owing to con tingencies Mr. Jennings does not care .to discuss, erection of the proposed big ofrtce building on the site will be deferred for probably two years. The two-story frame shack that for years had been an eyesore on Sixth street, between the German-American Knnk and the Quelle, has been torn down. Plans will be ready April 15 for the Oddfellows building, to be erected at Kust Alder and East Stark streets. Francis J. Bcrndt Is the architect. The building is to be three stories In height and 50x100 in dimensions. The Gcrllnger building, at Second and Alder streets, is to be ready fofr occupancy May 1, according to present indications. The building is of brick construction, and is rive stories in height. Building operations are to be re sumed on the Cour-!ionse at Prinevllle, which were discontinued about two years ago. after the foundations were put in. The building Is to be of brick with stone trimmings, and will cover 74x100 feet, and cost about (75.000. A duplicate of the Gerllnger building is to be started as soon as bids are sub mitted and accepted by the owners, Mrs. Burkhart and the Caldwell estate. The building will be class B and stand on Second street, next the corner of Alder. Among the new houses being built at Rose City Park is a 10-room dwell. Ing. to be occupied by Fred W.

Robbins has completed plana and has awarded contract for the I " " " " " r " i i - l f ' -v " - THK OHKIiUN KI.KCTRIO R1I.WAV DKPOT, (OREFt OF FRONT AKD JEFFERSON STREETS. erection of a dwelling for Albert J. Murphy, to be built on Gantenbeln ave nue, between Sellwood and Stanton streets. In spite of the omlswion of the name of Portland in the notices sent out from Seattle for the coming meeting; of the Washington State Chapter of Archi tects, and the mention of other Coast cities is given prominence, local archi tects are not inclined to regard the omission as a snub, but are getting ready to accept invitations to be pres ent and to send examples for exhibition on that occasion. The annual exhibi tion is to be held May 18 to 30. W. S. McCord's residence on Ford street, near Park avenue. Is to be shifted so a to present another front age. W. C. Knighton has charge of the alterations, which embrace the addition of a porch and modernizing of the in terior. W. P. Strandborg and wife moved into their new home at Rose City Park last week. The house was built on de signs drawn under direction of Mrs. Strandborg, and the house is a model of convenience and tastefulness. Albany Lodge of Elks has derided to build a lodger oom in that place, to cover a quarter-block, at the corner of First and Lyon streets. The building ie to be two stories in height. Architect E. M. Lazarus has complet. ed the plane for the auditorium and j grandstand for the Country Club. The I auditorium is designed to seat in 72 .boxes 3500 persons, with a total ca pacity of nearly double that number. The grandstand will be 228x70. and will seat 2500 people. The cantilever roof Is to be constructed of steel, and will be the first of its kind built on this Coast. The rumor that the old Exposition building would be torn down and a modern structure built on the site is not confirmed at the office of Russll & Blythe, who are members of a syn dicate owning the property. The re port probably gained currency on ac count of the decision of the owners not to make term leases to tenants. Permit has been Issued to the W. G. McPherson Company for the erection of a four-story brick warehouse on Glisan street, between Sixth and Seventh. The estimated cost is J1S.0O0. Two frame buildings on the south west portion of the McGinn property, at Seventh and Washington, are being torn down to make room for a small brick building, which Jennings & Co. will put up as a temporary office, the purpose being simply to utilize the space until the projected office building is ready to be erected. The Portland Apartment Association has commissioned Clausen & Clausen to prepare plane for the erection of a brick apartment-house near Ella and Washington streets, to cost approxi mately J50.000. The building is to con tain 33 suites of four, five and six rooms each. The building is to be lOOx 100. H. J. Hefty Is preparing plans for O. Brandes for a flat building to be erect ed at Tenth and Clay streets, 56x100, to cost about 116,000. General contract has been awarded M. E. Freeman for the new six-room Schoolhouse to be erected on the Lower Peninsula. The Quartermaster, stationed at Van couver Barracks, has asked for bids for making repairs on the Commissary's warehouse at that place.

TRANSFER RECORD SHOWS ACTIVITY Lots Bought in All Districts at Rate Almost Unpre cedented. SOME MOVEMENT INSIDE w Tracts Being; Platted, Especial ly in Lower Peninsula District. Values Keep About Steady In Outlying Sections. Several years ago George Langford was offered the old Irving Soap Works property on the Macadam road for $6000. A few days ago in talking to Robert Irving on the subject of land values, he was reminded of the offer made and asked if he ever intended to take It up. He replied that he con sidered the property worth much more now than when they talked about it before, but Mr. Irving replied that $6000 was his price now. as it was then, for that was the figure he had named. The deed passed last week and Mr. Langford was offered $10,900 for the piece ten minutes after he secured his deed. Ho declined the offer, saying he intended to keep the land as an in vestment. A deed was recorded March 27 which was executed March 2 from James A. Goldsmith to Kate M. Neppaph, convey ing lots 2 and 4, block 16. in Gold smith addition. Lots In that district are being sought for by intending builders of, high-class residences. Surveyors have been at work for some days laying out the tract re cently acquired by the Delaura Beach Company. It is the announced purpose of the t-ompany to cut up the tract into acreage tracts and to offer in ducements to large enterprises to lo cate at the new Coast resort. There appears to be little choice evidenced by buyers of lots in the East Side platted tracts. Selling agents for the various townsites all report an active demand for lots. Investors in these lots seem to regard any ground in or about Portland as worth while pickljig up at present prices, but in spite of this activity, owners are not inclined to advance prices, being con tent to "make hay while the sun shines." Abe Tichher and A. H. Maegley last week bought the old Oregon Furni ture Company property at First street, near Salmon, for $53,000. The figure IS regarded as setting a new valuation on property in that part of the city. The Dunn-Lawrence Company: reports an especially rushing business in fruit lands. The company has sold for George Noakes to Camillo Debbl an 11 -acre tract set to walnuts and cher ries, in section 17, adjoining Council Crest tract, for $6500: also for J. O. Booth & Son a 2700-acre tract, includ ing Wolf Creek Station on the South ern Pacific. Josephine County, to Jason Smith, of Jackson County, for $30,000. It is understood that Mr. Smith has since sold 900 acres of it to a California syndicate for $26,530, before the origin al deeds were passed. J. T. Buckner sold to L. Olds a tract In Good Morn ing addition for $1500: Smith & Covell sold to Elmer Lawrence a five-acre tract in Covell for .41500. Otto Harkson report the following farm sales made last week: 57 acres three miles from Oregon City, formerlv owned by Peter Batt, to J. H. Barnett for $7000; 165 acres in Washington County, - near Banks. Or., formerly owned by John Timmerman, to Fred Struchefl for $6000. Mary A.

Sumner Post, No. 21. G. A. R., cele brated (ts 25th anniversary at its hall. Grand avenue and East Pine street, Saturday night. It was an event long to be remembered by the large gath ering of veterans. J. A. Newell was in charge as chairman. After an in vocation by Department Chaplain Bar den, a banquet was served, followed by the evening programme. J. W. Ogilbee, post adjutant, read the roster of the charter members, showing that of the 32 who formed the organization 16 are living. F. R. Neale followed with an address on "Fraternity;" D. D. Neer, the first com mander of the post, spoke on "Char ity," and I. McGowan took "Loyalty" as his subject. Past Department Comman der Pratt gave a sketch of lives of the deceased members of the post. A pleasing feature of the pro gramme was the presentation by Sum ner Women's Relief Corps to Sumner Post of a finely framed picture of Abra ham Lincoln. An appropriate letter of presentation was read as the picture was CURED TO MEN'S DISEASES SIO No other physician employs a like method, and so thorough is my work that thire need not be the slightest fear of a relapse into the old condi tion. It is not a question of whether you can be cured, but whether you will be cured. Don't wait until it is too late. My method is perfect and quick. The cure is absolutely certain. I use NO KNIFE, cause no pain, and you need not be de tained from your work for one dav. I especially solicit those cases where many so-called treat ments have failed or where money has been wasted on electric belts and other appliances. Those in any trouble suffering from SPER MATORRHOEA, LOSSES AND DRAINS, VARICOCELE. HYDROCELE. BLOOD POI SON or any other disease tending to destroy and disfigure and to render happiness impos sible are urged to call upon me without delay. Consultation and Advice HOIRS. I A. M. TO I r. !I.

Department Commander Blythe spok. in highly complimentary words of the progressive character of Sumner Post and Past Department Commander Hillia made an earnest appeal for general ac tivity in securing more members.

Heretofore It has been th custom of funeral directors to make charges for all incidentals connected with a funeral. Tha Edward Holman Undertaking Company,, the leading funeral directors of Portland, have departed from that custom. When casket is furnished by us we make no extra charges for embalming, hears, to cemetery, outside box or any services that may be required of us, except clothing, cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a saving of $25 to io on each funeral.
