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.

ington streets, now under lease of 25
years to Jennings Co. Owing to con

deferred for probably two years.

years had been an eyesore on Sixth

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

last week. The house was built on de
signs drawn under direction of Mrs.

convenience and tastefulness.

ie to be two stories in height.

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.

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

County, - near Banks. Or., formerly

Kitting Celebration by Members ol
Sumner Branch, G. A. R.
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

ham Lincoln. An appropriate letter of
presentation was read as the picture was

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

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

A SEW DSPAkTDRE,
The cost of interments has been greatly
reduced by the Holman Undertaking
Company.
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.
