GREAT GAIN -SHOWN
Building Expenditure 22 1-2
Per Cerrt Over 1908.
i!
AUGUST IS BUSY MONTH
Increase In Bank Clearings Is $,
416. SOS, While Real Estate Is
Active, Although Summer
Lull Is Noticed.
An Increase in actual building activity
of more than 22H per cent over the cor
responding monthi of last year, or a clear
gain of n.514.779 in exact figures, make
the first eight months of 1909, which ended
yesterday, a period notable in the history
of Portland.
Figures on file in the office of the
Building Inspector show that in 1908 the
total amount for which permits were is
sued up to Saptember 1 was JS.69S.3.1.
Compared to this, permits Issued this
year up to and including yesterday have
reached the remarkable total of J8.21S,130
This is the greatest amount of building
that has ever -been undertaken in Port
land in a corresponding period of time,
and is absolute evidence of the wonder
ful growth which the city is experiencing.
Up to September 1. 1908. 31 permits
were issued. During the same time this
year-the number is 311S. It was said at
the Building Inspector's office, however,
that the apparently slightly smaller num
ber of permits issued so far in 1S is due
to the fact that in 1908 a considerable
number of permits were granted for al
terations and small repairs to existing
buildings. This year, on the contrary,
with but few exceptlens. they have been
Issued for new and substantial buildings.
Figures for the montk of August show
a like increase. In August, 190S. 412 per
mits were issued for a total sum of J772,
895, while during the month just ended
473 permits were granted for a total of
JW5.315. an increase of $J23.?fA This is a
clear gain of 29 per cent, and is consid
ered a very unusual showing, as ordinar
ily building operations are at their dull
est during the Summer-months.
In detail, the building statistics for the
eight months of 1908 and 19iS are as fol
lows:

Figures compiled by the Portland Daily
Abstract show thi.t for August, 1909. there
were 1278 real estate transfers for a total
of 11.669.641. Last year there were 1027
transfers for a total of J1.S20.806. And at
that, this August has been the quietest
month of the year in realty circles.
Bank clearings for the month show an
enormous gain.
uiing- the month of August a year
go. the Portland Clearlng-House Asso
ciation checked up $24.327.3)7.43 worth of
business. This month the grand total was
I30.743.S76.72. In August. 1908. the balance
ws J2.907.159.4O. while this August it was
$3,616,020.78. The figures thus show a
clear gain of Sn. 416.309.29 in the amount of
money handled in the city August, this
year, over that of last.
The month was unusually quiet in the
exporting business. Coastwise shipments
of wheat, lumber ad flour, however,
were normal. . -
TALL SMOKESTACK BUILT
ITube of 100 Feet Rises In Rear of
Marquam Building.
A smokestack. 104 feet tall, has Just been
erected Jn the rear of the Marquam
building to replace the old stack, which
extended only half way to the top of the-
building.
Construction of the tall tube was made
iiece sary on account of the smoke blow
ing Into the windows of the offices, mak
ing it almost impossible at times for any
one to stay In them. The new stack ex
tends seven feet above the top of the
building, so that the smoke is carried
away by the wind.
The old stack removed will be used
for the new Portland Hotel annex. The
boilers and other machinery in the base
ment of the-Marquam are undergoing a
general overhauling. Within the next six
weeks much of the old machinery will be
taken out and replaced by two new
boilers and pumps.

BOSTOH YACHT WINNER
HONORS GO TO AMERICANS IX
SECOXD CONTEST.
I
Ellen, Owned by Charles P. Curtis.

Germans Hopelessly.
MARBLE HE AD, Mass.. Aug. 31. The

international contests between the Ger
man and American Sonder boats for
the President Taft and Governor Draper
cups fell to the American yacht Ellen,

and sailed by his son, Charles P. Cur-,
tis. Jr.
The German challengers were hope
lessly beaten. The Seehund II dropped
out of the race when it was one-quarter
over because ei.e fouled a flag mark.
The Woif finished a close second, while
the Joyette, winner of of yesterday's
contest, was third, 45 seconds- behind
the Wolf. '
The Ellen got away at .ie start and
led till the outer turn on the second
leg was reached, when in the freshen
ing breeze the Wolf seized first place.
Then came the run to the finish and
the battle was decided a quarter of a
mile from the committee boat Orion.
The Ellen was 45. seconds behind the
Wolf when she turned the windward
flag stake for. the second time, but
with all sails 'set she slowly crept ojj
on the scudding -Wolf. Near the finish
fine the wind canted slightly and, fill
ing the Curtis boat's spinnaker, gave
her a final push down the course, a
winner over the Lorins yacht by 16
seconds, or perhaps three boat lengths.
The official elapsed time of the
yachts was as follows: Ellen. 2:21:41;
Wolfe. 2:21:57: Joyette, 2:22:82; Hevel
p, 2:24:41; Margaret, 2:29:44.

Pins and Needles Winner. -

BT JOSEPH M. QUENTIN.
IN HONOR of the state, of Presidents,
Ohio, an interested audience, largely
made up of former residents of Ohio
and Wales, gathered in the Baker Thea
ter last night and welcomed to town the
Ohio-Male Chorus of about 40 voices,
under the direction of Professor Hugh
W. Owens, of Chicago, HI. The varied
programme was much enjoyed and, en
cores were many.
The versatile press agent' would have
us believe bat the Ohio-Male Chorus. Is
the best male voice organization in the
United States. I have no wieh to roast
the chorus, but candor compels me to
state that its singing is only ordinary
good. For excellence "of vocallsm, for
Instance, it does not reach the starry
height achieved by the Boston Apollo
Club. As for local comparisons, there
is no use at this time for making any.
Suffice to say that, generally speaking,
the work of the Ohio Male Chorus shows
faithful training, and a desire to excel
in all that Is best in music, and that
already a high Ideal has been reached.
The chorus singers belong to several
small . towns near Lima, O., and they
rehearsed for several weeks to capture
the first prize at the Alaska-Yukon-Pa-clfle
Exposition which they won and
Professor Hugh W. Owens came from
Chicago, once a week or so, to Instruct
them. Many of the singers are presum
ably of Welsh descent. They dressed in
dark coats, white duck pants, and neck
ties and shoes ef various hues. The
piano .was used far too liberally in ac
companiment, but it helped. The best
chorus sinking was a capella, or the un
accompanied kind, and here the tone was
rich, colorful, and manly. The basses
and baritones . had the best voices, the
tenors being weak in tone production in
the upper register above F but they de
serve a good word for their earnest,
hearty singing.
Many changes were made from the
printed programme, the" best sung
choruses being Dudley Buck's "On the
Sea," Protheroe's "Nidaros" and "Com
rades in Arms" by Adams. Great en
thusiasm was created by the singing of
"America" and "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." In rendering the latter selection
the singers waved small American flags.
D. O. Evans,- who sang "Make New
Friends but Keep the Old," has an ordi
nary baritone, and he doesn't sing easily.
Dr. Shaw, who Joins the chorus from
Cincinnati, O., has a clear tenor but boy
ish voice, and it hasn't grown yet, but
he sang two love songs well. W. H.
Wlnklemann, tenor, is one of the best
singers in the chorus. He shows ease
and quality of voice, his selection being
"I Am Waiting Near Thy Casement" and
one of Lohr's Irish songs. "B. C. Humph
reys, bass, is possibly the best solo singer
with the chorus. His deep, thick tones
are of remarkable beauty and strength.
,Hls offering was Budlard'e "The Kava
naugh." '
Haydn Jones was piano accompanist,
and he also gave two piano solos, a Liszt
rhapsodie and a Grelg waltz. Mr. .Jones
is amateurish but promising. .
The Ohio singers are on a tour which
includes concerts in Oakland, Cal., Salt
Lake City, Utah, Denver and other cities
in Colorado en route for Chicago, where
they hope to be by September 13.

They frequently become incurable, if
neglected. And they often terminate
fatally, where the neglect is continued.
Berious and dangerous disorders, of the
gTavest character these diseases of the
bladder and kidnej-e, cannot receive at
tention too quickly; once they have at
tacked the human system.
All derangements of the kidneys and
bladder are the result of that deadly
poison uric acid in the system. Some
of the consequences following closely
upon a neglected uric acid condition, are
these:
Chronic inflammation of the kidneys,
bladder and passages. inflammatory
rheumatism, dropsy, gravel and gall
stones, chronic nerve disorders, dia
betes, Bright's disease, etc.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills very
quickly eliminate from the system every
trace of the deadly uric acid poison.
They accomplish this by reason of their
well known antiseptic, cleansing, cura
tive, healing and stimulating action upon
the kidneys, bladder and liver.
Mr. John Riha, of Vining, la., writes:
"There are a dozen people here who
have used these Pills, and they give
perfect satisfaction in every case. I have
used them myself with fine results."
DeWltfs Kidney and Bladder Pills are
put up in airtight, sanitary glass con
tainers (to preserve full strength and
curative qualities), and are sold by all
druggists.
HL C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago,. 111., want
every man and woman who have the
least suspicion that they are- afflicted
with kidney and bladder diseases to at
once write them, and a trial box of these
Pills will be sent free by return, mall
postpaid. Do it today.y
