March 25 Total $111,710 A butcher found himself In possession of a cheap piece of property out on one of the East Side lines, and had Just enough money to build one house upon it. This was a year and a half ago. It has half a hundred houses on it now, and the butcher Is thinking of going out of business. , The first house he built he found salable at a slight advance on what it cost hiiri. With that money and a little moro scraped up out of the butch er business he built another and bet ter house. From the proceeds of that he built two houses and then he began to get rich. It has been so often said in the past year that Portland is a city of hpmes, that the remark has lost its force. In fact, it is Becoming a great city for homes, flat3. apartment houses and for any way of living. There are many people coming nere, and no place for them to move Into. But the house builders have been having their innings for a good deal over a year now and they are still at it. House-building is going on In every direction, as shown by a few building permits picked out at random from the 'list taken out at the City Hall last week. In price and location the few fol lowing samples of home-building are representative: R. B. Slnnott, Twenty fourth and Lovejoy. $4650; G. W. Ken nedy, East Nineteenth and Clackamas, $3003; F. A. Moon, Monroe and Rodney avenue. $2000; John Swanson, Sell wood and Aibina. $2000; George Croenl, East Twelfth and Powell, $1500; Rus sell and Blyth, Thirty-second and Vaughn. $3500; Etta Tibbotjts, East Burmside and Fourteenth, $2250. . East Side Is Growing. From this representative list It would seem that the East SfJo is re ceiving the most attention, which is a fact. The amount of money expended is about -equally divided, but what is spent on one house on the "West Side' Is spent' on two on the East Side. "While there is a., certain amount of building In the heart of the city In the residence districts, most of It is on the outskirts. There is hardly a section which Is not feeling the actlvlty.-'North Portland is rapidly being built solid, the hills are being climbed, Portland Heights Is having built .upon It several of the most expensive house that have yet been erected there, and more are beginning to take advantage of the beautiful view afforded from the far ther portion of South Portland. Half a dozen handsome homes have been built there within the last few months. The aim seems to be to have a place easy of access, yet with a good-view. Most people have been merely mak ing homes for themselves, and th the great majority of houses have not been built by speculators. But ther have been speculators in the field Cur ing the last year, and many of them have mado money, as did the butcher. These men have operated chiefly on the East Side, though not exclusively so. Easy to Secure a Home. To get a home In Portland Is an easj thing to accomplish, as terms are made within the reach of any income, but whore to house the transients is a question of the day. It is frequently said that the one chance of possible failure. In any respect regarding the Fair Is the lack of accommodation of guests. In spite of the hopeful atti tude of the Lewis and Clark Accommo dation Bureau, there is a fear that rooms will be at a premium In Port land thls' Summer. If only such a crowd comes as an exposition .in a city of Portland's size could expect, there would be sufficient room, but the re ports of railroads alone show, that the outsldo attendance is going to be re markably large. Most of the hotels, of course, are elmply giving themselves up to the In evitable, and when their houses are filled will throw up their hands, say ing they cannot hold one niore. The Portland Is planning to secure one or two near-by frame houses for the over flow, and the Belvedere will be com pletely remodeled, but the other hotels will not attempt to enlarge their ca paolty. Several new hotels have been recently opened, however, and the ho tel capacity of the city has been doubled within the year. It will not be the regular hostelrles which will se cure the bulk of the money paid out for -sleeping places next Summer, but the householders, at least 90 per cent of whom expect to have rooms for rent. If the railroad reports make good prophecies, however, that will hardly be enough to care for the crowd, and In that case Portland will have to bo like the old-fashioned Inn and accommodate twice as many as It can hold. NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT. More Favorable Than Expected Because of y Liquidation of Loons. NEW YORK. March 25. The Financier a&ys: Ij&hi week's official statement of the New York associated banks was more favorable than It was In the previous week, chiefly be cause of the larce liquidation In loans and the consequent reduction In deposits. A contrac tion In loans was expected, not only because of the low surplus phown In the statement of March 18, but for the reason that there was extensive liquidation In the stock market last week, which would naturally affect this Item, and there was also an absence of syndicate bor rowinca. The carti loss of $4,618,900 was greater by J747.SOO than that Indicated by the estimates, which were based on'the traceable movements of money during the week, but this discrepancy was doubtless due to the average syetem of the banks. SUU. it would, seem that a greater official loss .should have been shown, considering the fact that the average traceable Jobs for the fortnight was $7.SO0.OOO. while the average cash decrease shown by the banks -was $8,000,000. While the statement was la xnanyrespeeta encouraging. It did not seem to give any as surance of ease for money or this cannot be DR. B. E.

HAVE EARS BUT HEAR NOT All yc who are easily impressed ccme and. bow down before my altar, for I am the apostle of success and teach how to gather together-earthly riches. Follow me and I will hypno tise yon into the way, the truth and a full stomach, which helps to make an easy conscience. There 13 no hap piness on a painfndy empty stomach. When the material larder- is full it is a pleasure to earn spiritual credit marks for hereafter. If yon harden your hearts and refuse to hear me I cannot drive the wolf from your door. In order to get your minds in a re ceptive condition, and to get the current running in the right di rection, let us pray. Only a few years ago when no man except farmers, loggers and woodchoppers lived on the great Willumbia Peninsula be tween the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, I told you that soon there would be a great city there, but you would hear not. When the steam motor came I repeated, "There will be a great city here soon," but you would hear not. When the great boulevard system was planned I re peated, "There will be a great city here soon," but you would hear not. When the university selected its location I repeated, "There will be a great city here soon," and again "you hardened your hearts. When I announced that plans had been perfected for a standard gauge railroad to be built along the waterfront, down stream, again I urged you to come forward, and a few old backsliders in the left hand cor ner, with patch on trouser and knee responded, Amen! Amen I! Others rubbed their eyes and yawned. But now look at the crowds of people. Look at the new houses. Look at the mills and factories and docks and ships and railroads and schools and churches and stores. You see now I speak tho truth. You see that the Apostle of Success has come to lead you in the path of profit. Then heark en to his voice when he tells yon that there will be more money made on small investments between the rivers within the next ten years than ever before. Buy now. 'Buy all you can carry, tho sooner the better. Values will continue onward and upward and the time will come before many years when lots will sell at University Park, the center of this great activity, for $1000 per front foot. Yon laugh at this. Yon laughed and hooted at me before, but my words have come true. It requires no seer or prophet to fore see this. The history of events proves it. We know enough about the laws of Nature to believe that the sun will rise tomorrow morning if it don't rain. The immutable laws of Nature teach us accurately the above state ments. Yon can buy lots at TJniver sity Park for S60 to 300 each, one tenth down, balance 5 per lot per month. The only chance you take is in the amount of profit. You cannot lose. Your money is safe. The lots can't go lower. TEAN0IS L M'KENNA, Boom 60C Commercial Block, and University Park Station, Portland, Oregon. QILIVIAiN Auction & Commission Co. S. L. N.
