12 TIIE 3IORMXG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1909. 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: 1009. 1 18S. Kumber Vatua-lNami'er frrmit5. tifn.ipmits. dm. .41:1. Iarch -M4. April 57. Jlsy S74.

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. CONDENSED NEWS BY WIRE Knoxvllle. Tenn.

Ohio Male Chorus at The Baker Pins and Needles Winner. - SHEEPSHEAD. BAY, Aug. 31. Pins and Needles, at 7 to J, won the turf sell- 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.

During the" last 54 hours the barometer has fallen decidedly over the North Pacific States, but no rain has fallen, except showers In the Slskiyous and In Southern Idaho. Nevada and Utah. The changes In temperatnre since yesterday have been un important. Ttvs conditions are favorable for showers 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.
