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

expected so long as the demand from the
Interior for crop-planting and buslnens pur
poses continues urgent; a further drain of
cash would seem to make necessary additional
contraction In loans In order to maintain a
reasonable amount of surplus reserve for ths
ee&son.
The statement of averages of the Clearlng
House banks of this city for this week shows:

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.
