At the meeting of the Portland Grade Teachers' Association in the asaocia tlon rooms yesterday afternoon, it was announced that $213 was netted at the Colonial entertainment recently held at Multnomah Hotel.

Semi-Indnstrial and Business Hold ings Here Involved Probability Is for Attracting More. Money for Development. A block of Portland property valued at 11,250,000, is about to figure In a deal for a $3,500,000 parcel of business property in the heart of New York City, as the second concrete move made on behalf of Pacific Coast real estate owners to Interest Eastern capital in Western property and thereby draw eventually into this section of the country some of the surplus money now available In the Eastern centers. George N. Black, of Los Angeles, a capitalist and real estate operator, who, with his brother, Julius R. Black, re cently bought the Renaissance Hotel property at the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-third street. New York City, for J2.600.000, trading In Colorado property, reached Portland yesterday to conclude negotiations for the Portland-New York deal. Mrs. Black, who was formerly Miss Florence Kohn, of Portland, was with Mr. Black on the New York trip. Development Follow! Deal. The Portland property which will figure In the big deal is understood to be seml-lndustrlal and business prop erty, while the New York parcel Is in come-bearing property. Mr. Black said the Portland deal was only one of a series contemplated. The deal a few weeks ago whereby he and Mrs. Black and his brother acquired the Renais sance Hotel property was the opening wedge. In that transaction a EOOO-acre ranch In Colorado was traded in at a valuation of $1,000,000, the remainder of $1,600,000 being paid in cash and securities. Already the New York owners have started plans for a large beet sugar factory" on the Colorado land, which Is In a high state of Irrigation and cul tivation, and several hundred thousands of dollars more will be directed toward the development of the Colorado prop erty. Similar steps, it is presumed, will follow the sale of the Portland proper ty to the New York capital. The Re naissance Hotel property, which Is 75 by 100 feet and improved with an eight- story building, was owned by H. Gray son Martin, and It is he and his asso ciates who are turning their money Into development of the Colorado property. Effect on Realty Market Expected. We are not at liberty to mention specifically the Portland property which Is to figure in the deal now being consummated," said Mr. Black, but the deal is practically assured. I have come from New York purposely to close the negotiations and to put the contracts in irrevocable form. The deal will mean that the .Portland in terests wil provide more than 12.000,000 In cash and securities to acquire the Income bearing New York property. But after that the New Yorkers, having attached themselves to Portland, will no doubt follow up their deal by de velopment work and by Interesting other Eastern capital In the West. It is in this way that Portland and other Coast cities will benefit. The market for big Pacific Coast hold ings in real estate is in the East' now. where the people are Immensely prosperous and have money to spend. Pacific Coast real estate has a pro nounced value for Eastern investors ivo can afford to invest on futures so to speak, while Pacific Coast owners, who have been worrying along with a sluggish home market, want to get in on some of the active Income property in the East where things surely are humming. "Certainly, such deals as we have In progress, affecting not only Port land, but Seattle, Spokane, San Fran cisco and Los Angeles will bring an active and healthy financial interest in this part of the country on the part of the Eastern people with money to invest and to use In development. "Cross-country real estate dealing Is Just starting and from my observa tlons back there, there will be a good deal of it in the comparatively near future." Mr. Black expects the Portland deal to be consummated in a few weeks. -.. .. -t-. Si i W. P. KEADY SERIOUSLY ILL Probation Officer of Juvenile Court Has Heart Stroke. W. P.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of Incom bustible material In the form of ashes. so the food and drink taken day after day leaves In the alimentary canal a certain amount of Indigestible ma terial, -which if not completely elimina ted from the system each day, be comes food for the millions of bacteria which Infest the bowels. From this mass of left-over waste, toxins and ptomaine-like poisons are formed and sucked Into the blood. . Men and women who can't get feel ing right must begin to talve Inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass t real Aot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day's accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimen tary canal clean, pure and fresh. Those who are subject to sick head ache, colds, bllllousness. constipation, others who wako up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiffs ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin, practicing internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject. Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be cause the skin pores do not absorb Impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and . bowels. Adv.
