Patterson, L. R. Menefe and George Akers Men Whose Names Appear in Big Vamhlll-Polk Transaction. Broadmead farm, or as more familiarly known the Ladd and Reed farm, located In Yamhill and Polk Counties, consisting of 3000 acres, has been bought by Portland Investors. Broadmead farm Is probably the best known large tract in a single holding In Western Oregon, and for years has been famous as a stock and farming tract. The purchase was made by a syndicate composed of L.. R. Menefee, D. E. Keasey, J. R. Patterson and George Akers, and through the agency of IX E. Keasey & Co. the property was transferred to the Columbia Trust Company. The consider ation b reported to be about $300,000. About 600 acres was retained by Menefee and Keasey, Including the big farmhouse, the Intention being to modernize the house and make of it a country home for the two families of thet owners. It is the purpose of the Columbia Trust Company to subdivide the big farm into five and ten-acre tracts and place them on the market, the great Influx of colon ists practically assuring the sale of these smaller tracts from the start. 4 S. P. Cuts Tract in Two. The Southern Pacific runs directly through the property, the distance from Portland being 42 miles. The Sheridan and Dallas Junction Is In the heart of the tract, and the projected line of the Mc Minnvllle branch of the Oregon Electric road also runs through the property. The proposed townsite of Broadmead will be located at the Junction, which provides an Ideal location for a new town, there being already sites engaged for a hotel, general store and blacksmith shop. , The trust company is to act as selling agent for townslte lots and acreage. The purchase of this property was brought about by J. R. Patterson, who was a long-time friend of the Reeds in California. Air.. Patterson has been in Portland for about two years and is at present associated with D. B. Keasey in handling Portland Heights properties. He is very enthusiastic over the farming prospects In Oregon and is eager to have the large farms in Western Oregon cut up Into small tracts so as to provide homes for families of moderate means. The trust company announces that it is . to be its policy in placing the Broad mead tract on the market to make easy terms with purchasers and sell on the installment plan. The farm was owned by Iadd and Reed for many years and was devoted to the raising of fine cattle and horses. The farm produced the only, carload of red clover seed ever grown in the Valley, and It was the pioneer In this culture. Mr. Patterson, who is well posted on the character and productivity of the land, says the soil Is of the first quality and mostly of dark loam. There are about TOO acres of bottom land, well adapted for truck raising. These bottom lands can be easily irrigated from the "Yamhill River, which flows along the northwest side of the farm. There is a good growth of oak, ash and fir along the river and creeks that flow through the lands. A number of orchards have been started on the farm and there are 100 acres set out in English walnuts, the trees being now two years old. The lands have been pronounced excellent for these purposes as well as for vege table and small fruit raising. There is a railroad siding of the Southern Pacific at the farm and two large warehouses already built. The big tract has been kept in an excellent state of cultivation for many years and there are miles of drainage tiling from almost every section of 11. All the food products necessary for the subsistence of employes of the farm have been raised on the farm, one of the overseers relating that the only things lie had to buy were sugar, salt and such articles. Water Piped to Every Field. Beside the huge windmill and tank house near the farmhouse there are three others on different parts of the farm, so that water is delivered by pipeline to every field. The present improvements In the way of buildings are the great farmhouse, which contains eight bedrooms, a large dining-room and two parlors, while ad joining are woodsheds, kitchen and a washroom large enough to accommodate 25 persons at one time. There are three barns, warehouses, a hoghouse as large as most barns in the state, sheepsheds and a complete dairy plant. There is a full basement under the farmhouse. Alto gether the improvements on the farm are the most extensive of any in the state Prom reports made by the railroad companies there are thousands of colon ists arriving in Oregon during the low rate period. They are said to be of a better class than those of former years, the majority being provided with funds enough to buy little homes for them selves. Cutting up of the big farms into small tracts will go a long way toward offering to these newcomers Inducements to buy and enter at once into cultivation. BIT SIXTH AND ALDER CORNER lien Selling and Associates Pay $350,000 for Fine Location. The property at the southwest cor ner of Sixth and Alder streets was sold yesterday to Ben Selling. C. S. Moore, R. S. Moore and Moses Blum for $350, 00(1. The deed is signed by the Oregon Company. The property Is to be held by the purchasers In the following proportions: Ben Selling, 11-20; C S- and R. S. Moore, 6-20; Moses Blum 4-20. It is to be held sub ject to the easement, rights and priv ileges granted by the Oregon Company to Emanuel May In a deed executed April 2, 1907. The property purchased yesterday extends 70.3 feet -along the south side of Alder street from the corner of Sixth to the east wall of what was formerly the Marquam Opera House, now the Orpheum. COSTLY SEWER PLANNED City Engineer Gathers Data for Great Projeet on Peninsula. The largest and mosrt expensive sewer yctem projected In Portland Is being worked out for th Peninsula in the City Engineer's office. Although the prelimi nary work on this system was started over a year aeo, not all the material in the way of contour data has yet been gathered. City Engineer Taylor, who spent some time yesterday inspecting the territory, sold that he thought an extra man would have to be employed in this work. Surveyors have been in the field some time getting the contour of the country embraced within the dis trict. It covers nearly all of the Tenth Ward, between Kllllngworth avenue and 9t. John, end between the Willamette River and Columbia slough, and also it extends south of Killings-worth avenue for several blocks. There are several problems in working out this district not encountered in other sewer districts of the city, and one is to find an outlet for the big condufta that will be laid down the Peninsula to the river. Just where the conduits will empty has npt been figured out, but they will empty either in Columbia slough or the Willamette River. 'It may be that one large .conduft will follow the Peninsula along the north side to railroad cut and then follow the cut to the Willamette River and the other near the southerly side of the Peninsula may run direct into the Willamette River from Killlngsworth avenue, or at some poinl further north. It is roughly esti mated that the sewer system will cost approximately $400,000 to J500.000. It will be at least a year before the plans can be completed and the contract let. A ! DWELLING ON BROADMEAD FARM. system of sewerage will be devised that will take care of the Peninsula for. many years. MAYOR LANE GIVES IN WILIi SIGN BARBER CONTRACT FOR HAWTHORNE AVENUE. Has No Evidence, He Says, to Prove Validity of Rival Agents' Claims. After deliberation and careful investi gation of the facts. Mayor Lane an nounced late yesterday afternoon that he would this morning sign the contracts for the 1171,000 job of asphalt paving on Hawthorne avenue. This insures Im mediate work on the largest single con tract for hard-surface paving ever let in Portland. It will stretch from Kast Third to East Forty-first street, and will make of the thoroughfare one of the most beautiful in the city. The City Executive Board awarded the contract to the Barber Asphalt Paving Company last Friday afternoon, after much debate and hearing 'of petitions from property-owners, as well as giving audiences to agents for rival paving concerns, who had bid on the big job in hope of their getting entrance to the local field In competition with the so called "trust." The procedure was not to Mayor Lane's liking and he laid aside the contracts to consider. After waiting until yesterday afternoon, he decided to sign them so that the work can be done this Summer and the avenue hard surfaced before the rainy season sets in next Fall. "I did not just like the" way the bid of the Barber Asphalt Paving Company was made," said Mayor Lane yesterday, "but I had no evidence at hand to show that there was anything wrong with it and I have come to the conclusion that as more than 75 per cent of tne property owners petitioned for the contracts to be let to this company, I will sign them In the morning." There was much contention on the part of rival bidders that the Barber Paving Company's bid was unbalanced: that it favored the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, giving an exceptionally low rate on stone blocks, which have to be laid between the rails of the com pany's line, and that the property-owners were made partly to make up for this low rate by means of higher figures on the asphalt, for which they must pay. The matter was thrashed out In com mittee meetings and the members were unable to decide what to do, but when it went to the whole Board last Friday, and all sides were heard for two hours', the majority of the members voted to let the contract to the Barber Company. MORTGAGE FOR $550,000 GIVEN Coupon Gold Bonds Will Issue on Olds, Wortman'A King Block. A mortgage on the block at Morrison, Tenth, Alder and West Park streets for a varying- amount, not to exceed $550,000. was given to the Merchants' Savings & Trust Company yesterday by the Portland Building Company. The building company is about to issue first mortgage coupon gold bonds, bearing 6 per cent interest, not to exceed at face value, the amount above named. There will be 600 bonds at $111 each, 360 at $500 each and 310 at $1000. On April 1. 1916, $30,000 worth are to mature, and a like amount every year until 1934. when $10,000 will come to maturi ty. The Interest on the bonds is made payable either at the Merchants' Sav ings & Trust Company's bank or at the Trustee Securities Company' In New York City. The property mortgaged Is that upon which Olds, Wortman & King is to erect its five-story steel -frame building. J. White Evans sometime ago secured a 25-year lease of the property from Mary A. Pennoyer. Gertrude E. Russell and George F. Russell, a sublease be ing given to the Trustee Company of Portland. Oak Grore Club Meets.

FROM NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE Craft Placed on List for Columbia River by Meyer, Wilson & Co. Howard D. Troop Taken for ' Grain-Ijoading Here. Meyer, Wilson & Co. have chartered the British bark Altalr, 2366 tons, to bring general cargo to Portland from Newcastle-on-Tyne. The vessel arrived out at Dunkirk April 11 from Iquique. She will be ready to receive cargo very eoon and will form one of the June fleet to leave the other side. She will be due off the mouth of the Columbia River In November and will be available for December wheat. It Is not believed that she has been charted out as yet. For grain loading at Portland for the United Kingdom or a direct port the British bark Howard D. Troop, 20S0 net tons, was chartered yesterday. The Troop is for November loading. She is now two months out from New York for Yokohama, and is due at the Jap anese capital late in August. Union rates were quoted on the vessel. With the chartering of the French bark Pierre Lotl Tuesday by Kerr, Glf ford & Co. the en route list has been Increased by the addition of three ships during the present week. During the two weeks preceding there was little doing in the way of outward charters for grain. During the second week in 'April there was a lively spurt in char tering of all kinds. It 'is noticeable that for new crop loading there has not been a single steamship fixed, while last year steam tonage carried the larger part of the crop.

MEN CURED CONSULT ME FIRST There is no ailment peculiar to men that I cannot cure. For twenty-five years I have devoted my entire time and energy to the treatment of men's diseases. My methods have been perfected by actual experience, with a thoroughly theoretical knowledge as a basis. I am the only physician thoroughly and permanently curing those functional derangements commonly classed as "Weakness," and my success in overcoming such cases has placed me fore most among .specialists treating men's diseases, and has brought me the largest practice of its kind in the West. YOD CAN PAY WHEN CURED I Never Disappoint or Mislead My Patients and My Cures Are Permanent I have treated hundreds of men who have long suffered a gradual decline of physical and mental energy as a result of ailments, and have been interested in -noting the marked general improvement that follows a thoroough cure of the chief disorder. My success in curing difficult cases of long standing has made nie the foremost specialist treating men's diseases. This success is due to several things. It is due to the original distinctive and thoroughly scientific methods of treatment I employ. To those in doubt as to their true condition, and who wish to avoid the serious results that may follow neglect, I offer free consultation and advice, either at my office or through correspondence. If your case is one of the few that have reached an Incurable stage, I will not accept it for treatment, nor will I urge my services upon any one. I treat curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat. Scientific Treatment for Weakness Dosing the system with powerful stimulants and tonics in an effort to restore functional vigor can have but one final result, the condition is rendered worse than before. Few doctors Know 'of any other method than stomach, drugging, and when this does no- good, they say: "There Is no cure for weakness." 1 have often made strong statements to the effect that the ailment must be thoroughly understood be fore It could be remedied. I have proved it beyond dispute that so-called "Weakness" Is merely an indi cation of the existence of a low form of inflammation in the Prostate Gland, which is usually aggravated and" made worse by stimulating medicine, electricity or any other agent that excites temporary activity. The Prostate is a nerve center and therefore very sensitive to treatment the right kind quickly helps, while the wrong kind can cause great harm and sometimes irreparable damage. I employ the only scientific and fully effective treatment for "weakness," which is almost entirely . local, by which I mean that the- medication is applied directly to parts. Medicines containing poisons are entirely excluded. I obtain the most desirable results in every case undertaken, and the cure Is permanent and complete. CALL OR WRITE TODAY 23rr the DR. TAYLOR co.

The United States Geological Survey will in the future he placed on the mail ing list of the Chamber of Commerce and will be kept there until it learns that the building operations of Portland rank above those of Cambridge, Mass. Cam bridge issued about 400 permits last year, totaling a little over $1,000,000 in value, whereas Portland issued 4859 permits, amounting to exactly $10,485,144. and in reality stood sixth on the list of cities in building operations. Secretary Gilther. of the Chamber, was Instructed by the trustees to forward to the department particulars of Portland's gain in building operations and to em phasize with all due politeness that Port land's business generally, and particu larly her building permits, stood head and shoulders above Cambridge, Mass. Pre sumably Portland was to be accounted as city No. 61, as the publication issued by the Survey Department stated dis tinctly that the 50 leading cities' permits were given. The addition of fhe depart ment to the mailing list will insure monthly accounts of building operations reaching proper authorities. The report of Louis Gerllnger, who went to Washington as a special dele gate of the Chamber of Commerce to make arrangements regarding the enter tainment of the Japanese visitors to the West in September,' was read.
