One of the largest deals In Portland
Heights properties yet negotiated was
completed yesterday through the comple
tion of a syndicate to take over the Me
llnda Height property, Juet west of the
City Park, and south of and across t'pper
Washington street from the Kings
Heights property. The addition consists
of 61 acres and was bought from the
Amos N. King estate for 274,6O0. The
property la now transferred to a syndi
cate organized toy Dr. J. R. Wetherbee.
In this syndicate are Dr. J. R. Wether
bee, ohalrman of the Civic Improvement
League; T. D. Honeyman, of the Honey
man Hardware Company; Dr. Andrew
C. Smith, president of the Hiberla Sav
ings Bank; E. G. Crawford, president of
the First National Bank, of "Vancouver;
X N. Fleischner, of the Fleischner-Mayer
Company; C. C. Colt, president of tho
Union Meat Company; J. M. Lelter. tlm
berman; Philip Buehner, tlmberman; N.
IT. Carpenter, vice-president of the Port
land Trust Company; Josephine Hlrsch,
widow of Sol Hlrsch. and several others.
Other Property Controlled.
The sale to this syndicate is the larg
est ever negotiated for Portland Heights
property. A similar syndicate organized
by Dr. Wetherbee bought Kings Heights
last September for $249,835 from the King
estate. The control of this syndicate is
practically In the same hands as that just
organized by Dr. Wetherbee. Like the
Kings Heights deal, the transfer of Me-
. llnda Heights was negotiated through
the agency of Keasey, Humason & Jef
fery, who will .also have charge of tho
selling of the property. This same firm
has negotiated several large acreage deals
" on Portland Heights and It was through
lt efforts that the present deal was
made possible.
Mellnda. Heights consists of low, roll
ing hills, with few sharp grades. It was
named after Mellnda King, the wife of
Amos King, and 20 years ago part of the
tract on the extreme eastern end was
graded with a view of placing it on the
market. The property was obtained as a
donation land claim by Amos King many
years ago and this Is the first time it
has changed hands. It having been held
by the heirs ever since the death of the
original owner. The new syndicate is the
Belinda Heights Realty Syndicate, and
the articles of Incorporation are now en
route to Salem. The company Is Incor
porated for $300,000 and the $25,500 sur
plus over the purchase price gives a sum
in the treasury at the start for the pur
pose of improving the property.
Development to Be Extensive.
Plans for development on a large scale
have been made. This district, including
Kings Heights on the north side of Upper
Washington street, and Mellnda Heights
on the south side of Upper Washington
street, and adjoining the City Park on the
west, to Macleay Park and to Johnson
street is uniform as a residence district
in point of view and accessibility. It is
proposed to make the properties exclu
sive. Plans are under way for the extension
of Washington street up the Canyon to
the west boundary of these two tracts1.
The Barnes road is now in process of
being taken over as a city street. It is
the plan of the syndicate to have the
entire district, with hard-surface pave
ment, platting the land in contour, and
carrying the streets along easy grades.
The land will not be platted Into blocks
and lots, but into building sites of varying
sizes.
The Improvements include hard surface
for every street, curbing, grading, side
walks, sewers and water on every site,
underground wiring, lighting the entire
tract with cluster street lights, and other
improvements. Building restrictions high
er than ever known before will be in
cluded. It will be stipulated In each deed
that the sites shall be restricted to resi
dences only. No flats will be permitted,
no apartment-houses, np cornef stores,
no garage larger than for two cars, and
no stables or poultry houses. The deeds
will even contain clauses prohibiting sale
to objectionable races.
Carline Projected.
Dr. Wetherbee is authority for the
statement that a streetcar line is to be
built up Washington street to serve both
ttraota. Contracts already have been
arranged, pending the granting of a fran
chise by the City Council. The line may
then be continued along a wide winding
boulevard. which is being surveyed
through King's Heights, leading around
Inspiration Point back on the north side
of King's Heights to Macleay Park, where
it will connect with a drive to be built
by the Park Board through the City Park
to the Cornell road. This is part of the
original Olmstead plan for the North
Hillside Parkway.
The name of the tract will be changed.
The property will not be placed on the
market until next Fall.
UNION MAN ALLEGED THIEF
Illinoisan Caught Here After Long
Search; Will Fight.
His wife and 5-year-old son suffering
from hunger, himself penniless, James
Fortwood, a paperhanger and decorator,
was arrested in the little hovel in which
he lives in Woodlawn Tuesday by Detec
tives Hellyer and Maloney, charged with
embezzling funds of the union of his
trade at Danville, 111., two years ago.
It was only after a search of many
months that Portwood was finally located.
He Is now trying to secure money with
which to employ counsel and fight extra
dition. Chief Cox immediately notified the
Sheriff at Danville and received notice
yesterday that a representative of his
office Is now on his way here for the
prisoner.
W. C. T. U. HEARS TALKS
Work for Deaf Mutes in Portland Is
Described.
Mrs. C. U. Bodgley talked on "The
Good Samaritan" yesterday afternoon at
the meeting of the local W. C T. U..
applying the subject especially to the
foreigners in this country. Mrs. Inman
epoke of tbs sermon commemorating
A scrawny, gangling youth or irld
n is almost invariably slighted, over
looked or ridiculed In any social gath
ering. There Is something about a
plump or well - proportioned figure
which attracts not only friendship, but
love and adulation as well.
People with a proper amount of fle6h
are favored In all walks of life, while
the thin are unblessed, unwelcome and
frequently miserable for life. The dif
ference lies in the power of the diges
tive functions and the ability of the
blood and nerves to absorb and dis
tribute over the body the nutrition ex
tracted from the food eaten.
The thin person Is abnormal and
lacks the power to absorb and retain
the flesh and fat elements which the
gastric juices in the stomach and In
testines should extract or separate
from all kinds of food and drink.
A recent accidental discovery has
proven that tincture cadomene when
blended with certain other drugs, will
add from one to 'three pounds of flesh
per week during treatment, while the
general health and strength also Im
proves wonderfully.
Get in a half pint bottle, three ounces
of essence of pepsin and three ounces
of syrup of rhubarb; then add one
ounce compound essence cardloi; shake
and let stand two hours; then add one
ounce tincture cadomene compound,
(not cardamom). Shake well and take
a teaspoonful before and after meals,
drinking plenty of water between meals
and when retiring.

W. Foulkes, Sunday evening at the First
Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Edith White,

Sullivan, instructor of the deaf mute
school at East Twelfth and East Burn
side streets, gave an Interesting talk on
her work. She told of the method fol
lowed In Germany, where small cottages
are us'ed for 10 or 12 pupils each, and of
the work in this country, especially in
Wisconsin. Her work In this city has
been interesting and successful, the pu
pils being unusually bright. At the con
clusion a rising vote of thanks was given.
Mrs. Sarah Northrup, who was un
avoldedly kept away, will give her- talk
on "Rescue Work" next week.
GOOD ROADS GROW. APACE
Pomona Grange Discusses Work,
Rapidly Pushed in Country.
Discussion of good roads and how to
raise money to build them occupied the
time of Pomona Grange yesterday at
Its quarterly session held with Lents
Grange. Engineer Etchel, In charge of
the Kelly Butte station, where material
is turned out for macadam roads, told
of the progress of work In Multnomah
County In road construction and set
forth the advantage of employing
prison labor. He said that six years
ago Multnomah County did not have
more than J 2000 in machinery, but now
its road construction plants were worth
more than $50,000, and that more than
a mile of high-grade thoroughfare was
being built each month.
Judge Webster, of the Good Roads
Association, outlined the plans and pol
icy of the association. He said that a
bill to enable the counties to Issue
bonds for. road, construction would be
brought before the Legislature or be
fore the people through an Initiative
petition. Remarks were also made by
J. Voorhees, of Marlon County.
Dr. Emma J. Welty, of the Audubon
Society, read a paper on "The Economic
"Value of Birds." which commanded
close attention. In the afternoon Mrs.
Mary S. Howard, state secretary, spoke
of the progress of the order In the
state. She urged all to attend the ses
sions of the State Grange at Oregon
City in May.
No political resolutions were brought
before the Grange for consideration.
One resolution was adopted condemn
ing the express merger and the com
pany was characterized as a public
robber on account of the high rates
charged. The resolution called for an
investigation of the merger. It was
voted to hold the next quarterly meet
ing with the Pleasant "Valley Grange,
three months hence.
CORONER TO INVESTIGATE
Death of John Higgins Attributed to
Delayed Trip of Ambulance.
Coroner Norden yesterday determined,
to make further investigation into the
circumstances of the death of John Hlg
glns, the longshoreman, who died at St.
Vincent's Hospital Tuesday afternoon at
2 o'clock. Death resulted from the
breaking of a blood vessel In the man's
leg, caused by falling down on the side
walk at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The charge is made by Hlggins friends
that the Holman ambulance, which, was
called to take him to the hospital, was
two and a. half hours In reaching there
and that as a result of the delay death
resulted. A tire was broken on one of
the ambulance wheels and it Is charged
the injured man was forced to remain In
side until it was repaired. It is contend
ed he should have been transferred to
another ambulance Instead of waiting for
the broken one to be repaired.
Higglhs lived with a brother at 693
Gantenbein avenue, Albina. and was on
his way to work when he fell down and
broke the blood vessel at Russell street
and Mississippi avenue. He was a mem
ber of the Longshoremen's Union and of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians.. The
funeral will be conducted at St.. Mary's
Church, Albina, this morning, at 9
o'clock, under the direction of the two
organizations to which he belonged. The
inquest will commence this afternoon at
4 o'clock.
LIQUOR MEN OFFER HELP
Association Says It Will Aid Chief
in Enforcing Laws,
Declaring that as an organization the
Portland Retail Liquor Dealers' Associa
tion is anxious to suppress violations of
the law governing the business, a com
mittee from tho association yesterday
called on Mayor Simon and Chief of Po
lice Cox.

loonkeepers, was headed by C. D. Elder.
Mr. Elder, acting as spokesman, placed
his own and the services of any member

ble in entirely suppressing the sale of
liquor on Sunday. Much of the illegal
selling, it Is thought, has been done by
bootleggers from rooming-bouses.

Bills Ot Seward: Hotel.
After living at the Seward Hotel three
months without paying his bill, David
W. Mayer, who claims to be of wealthy
New Orleans parentage, was arrested

been in Portland," said Mr. Seward, "he
has not worked, but promised to pay his
account out-of money he expected from
his home In New Orleans."

bail. He gave as his occupation cotton
buying, saying his father was until his
