Some of the Largest Deals Are De
layed as a Result of Xbe San
Francisco Disaster of
the Last Month.
So far aa the sale of Inside property Is
roncerned, the past week has been a very
quiet one among the local realty men.
The transactions which have been closed
have been for the most part for small
amounts, a sale Involving as high as a
110.000 consideration being the exception.
The market has not entirely recovered
from the depressing effect of the San
Francisco disaster, the agents who were
making sales In the J100.uk) class now
having to content themselves with sales
of one-tenth that amount.
Although, this condition exists at pres
ent, it Is regarded as only temporary and
even at that the dealers are having all
ihe business they can attend to. Money
is not passing in ntich large sums at pres
ent, but, on the other hand, the number
of sales is on the increase. While heavy
Investors are holding back until condi-.
tlons due to the financial status In Cali
fornia are adjusting themselves, the men
who have a moderate amount to Invest
are filling the market and buying on
every side. Homes, dwelling lots and
moderate Income property are selling al
most as fast as they are put on the mar
ket, and the demand shows no sign of
abating.
Market Condition Good.
"In spite of the fact that large sales
have not been consummated so rapidly
during the past month as formerly," said
E. J. Ialy, last nlgnL. "the market is
really In the best of condition. There are
dozens of men looking for property who
intend to Invest heavily. They are feel
lnr around to see what may be had and
will buy Just as soon as things in Califor
nia are more settled.
"It 1s true, too, that the demand for
moderately-priced holdings was seldom
so marked as now. The general public
lias little Idea how many new homes are
being built In Portland this Spring or
how great the sale of dwellings has been.
Not only are many strangers buying
dwelllnga with the Intention of becoming
permanent residents, but hundreds ' of
families, who have been renting, are now
investing in a home or in a lot upon
which thev will build. It is the best kind
of activity, as it Indicates the general
prosperity of the city.
Kvery dealer who has expressed an
opinion upon the situation corroborates
this statement. Those who are handling
suburban lots are especially active, as
dozens of sales of this kind are consum-
united dally. Forty sales of residence
property within 30 days Is the amount of
tills kind of business done by Thomson &
Towers and a number of other firms are
doing Qirite as much In this line. . Prac
tically every sale of suburban property
means a new residence, and buildings are
springing up in. the newer sections ot the
jlty with mushroom-like rapidity.
Large Sales Vnder Way.
There are also several large sales under
way which will probably be concluded
within the next week. Ooldsmlth & Co.
have two nearly closed which amount to
$100,000. C K. Henry Is concluding a
number of good-sized deals, and Grind
staff & Schalk, who have made many of
the big transactions or tne past montns,
are working upon others equally as large.
The dealers are especially confident of
the good which is going to be derived
from the organization of the Portland
Ftrnlty Board. .The constitution of this
body will go into effect June 1, after
which thr practice of dividing commls
f.oiu Indiscriminately will be done away
TV itli. ;iy the rules provide that commls
frtoiia phNll be divided only between mem
bers of the board of a. similar organiza
tion in some other city. At first it was
decided to get To firms to sign the consti
tution before It should be put in force,
but as about 60 of the leading dealers in
the illy have signed, the organization
will begin operations June 1. The execu
tive hoard Is now taking steps to have the
organization incorporated.
ltcaky Board Dinner.
The board will give a dinner at the
Commercial Club next Thursday evening.
Invitations will be extended to the mem
bers and their friends among the deal
ers, as it Is desired to bring lust as many
of the reputable dealers of the city as
possible together upon thfe occasion and
to create a more extensive interest in the
movement. The dinner will cost $-.50 a
cover.
Among the shies -of the past week was
the transfer of a half block of East Side
realty to W, T. Mutr. The property lies
between Kist First and Bast Second, on
Kaat Taylor. The owners were C. K.
Henry and Joseph HeaJy, and the sale
whs made by George W. Brown. The
price was J1R.60O.
Josie Brinckerhoff has sold to Iona S.'
Blckerton a quarter block at the south
east corner of Eighteenth and Johnson
streets for J15.600. There are four houses
on the property at present, but It is prob
able that It will be utilized later as the
site for an apartment-house.
The purchase of the Brown Hotel, the
largest building of the kind on the East
Side, has been practically concluded by
F O. Downing and E. A. Baldwin. The
purchase price was f&O.OOO. The hotel
was owned by the Ladd estate. The
property occupies half a block, and the
building Is five stories In height, and Is
located at the northwest corner of Grand
and Hawthorne avenues.
W. 1. Larabe. of the United RaJlways
Company, has purchased from the Port
land Trust Company a dwelling at the
northeast corner of Twenty-fourth and,
li ving streets for JSSOOO. He is planning to
enlarge the residence and improve the
grounds.

SYMPTOMS AND DISEASE
A Physician's View of What Hahne
mann Taught. .
PORTLAND. Or., May 26. iTo the Edi.
tor.) In The Oregonlan of May 19, under
the caption of the "Doctor's Clasped
Hands." appears the following sentences
regarding Hahnemann's theory of disease
to which In the interest ot truth I beg
leave to offer an objection.- "Hahne
mann's theory contains both truth and
falsehood. Underlying it was the , as
sumption that the symptoms are the dis
ease. He actually taught that we cannot
know a cause of disease, and if we did the
knowledge would be useless." Broadly
tated. Hahnemann taught no such thing.
It Is only by taking certain passages In
his writings out of their connection and
applying them generally that any such
construction could be placed upon them.
Hahnemann plainly and distinctly states
that Instead of the symptoms being the
disease, that they are the outward "re
flected picture of the internal essence of
the disease, that Is, of the affection of
the vital force, and that the totality of
these symptoms must be the means
hereby the disease, can make Known
what remedy It requires, and thus in a
word the totality of the symptoms' must
be the principal thing. Indeed, the only
thing, the physician has to take note of
in every case of disease, and to remove
by means of his wt in oftief Uu. ii shall

OF W. B. PEACOCK, TWENT Y-XTRST AND
be cured and transformed into health
This is a quotation from : section 7 of
Hahnemann's "Organon of Medicine.
In the preceding sections he gives direc
tions - and reasons for observing every
thng in connection with the case, the
probable exciting cause of the present
disorder; and now he comes to the point
of prescribing, and says the totality of
the symptoms are now the thing to be
observed, and if you give a remedy hav
ing the same sphere of action you will
remove all these symptoms and the pa
tient will be well. Then follows the
eighth section, showing why, if you erad
icate the symptoms, which can only be
done -by the use of similar remedy you
are sure the disease is cured. "It is not
conceivable, or can It be proved by any
experience in the world that, after the re
moval of all the symptoms of the disease
and of the entire collection of the per
ceivable phenomena, there should or could
remain anything beside health, or that
the morbid alteration in the interiot
could remain tmeradicated." The writer
of the article in question says this Is not
so: "Fatal disorders may exist for a
long time with no observable symptoms,
while on the other handr all the symp
toms of any disease whatever may be
produced by the power of imagination in
a man who Is perfectly well. To this I
o'bserve first that there is no man who'
would present himself to a physician for
treatment unless he ' feels that there is
something the matter with him, and that
something perceptible to his senses are
symptoms, and tells of the disordered
vital Xorce which, if left uncured, will

ultimate in organic trouble sooner or
later. If through the power of suggestion
you make a man imagine he is sick you
do it through the subjective mind, so-
called, which is the controller of the vitaV
principle which animates the material
body, and if the suggestion is continued
actual sickness even to the extent of
pathological lesions may ensue; in fact,
in the case of a sensitive subject, a sin
gle suggestion may be sufficient to make
the subject seriously sick.
The formula similia similibus curantur
was no mere theory of Hahnemann's.
After he became convinced of its truth.
he made an elaborate end painstaking
proving or over iuu drugs, and used them
in the treatment of diseases having sim
ilar symptoms and found them efficacious
thus changing theory Into absolute fact
before he made his discovery known to
the world. Besides this, he formulated
a full and complete treatise on disease
and disease causes which proves conclu
sively that he clearly understood that
symptoms were only the manifestation of
disease, and at the same time the all
important consideration in making a pre
scription. P. L. M'KEXIZE, M. D.

Oak-Street Social Happenings
Mrs. Huntsman Indisposed Sig. Levetti Accorded Recognition
Oak Street's Most Exclusive Set Mr. Sing Entertains at Fan-Tan.
THE many Oak-street friends of Mra
Cath. Huntsman will be grieved to
learn that she has been Indisposed
for several days past, and is now con
fined to her apartments at the Cameron.
Mrs. Huntsman is afflicted with a severe
grasping sensation In both hands, and
finds temporary relief only In large por
tions of silverware and other neighbor
hood valuables. Drs. Fitzgerald and
Brand who are attending; the patient,
have not fully diagnosed the case as yet,
but fears .are entertained by them that
she has contracted acute kleptomania.
.
SIg. Cavler Levetti,. youngest and fa
vorite nephew of . the Count of Ten, is
showing great promise as a tenor. His
rendition of the Stein song from 'An-heuser"-
is particularly effective, and, in
recognition of his talent, Sig. Levetti has
been asked to appear at the regular Mon
day morning reception at the Cameron.
For that occasion he will render the soul
ful little classic. "I'd Work Knew I Not
Some Other Way."
Miss Maggie Daly, one of Oak street's
youngest and. fairest debutantes, was
drunk again on Friday.
.-
It has long been known that city offi
cials and many others of position have
been seeking entree to the frequent little
I unctions given under the auspices of the
Young Men's Burglary Association. Some
of Oak street's first families are repre
sented in this association, which Is. per
haps, one of Portland's -most exclusive
sets. Only the favored few are jnvttea
to the delightful housebreaking parties,
and this extreme manifestation ot the
spirit of aristocracy is, of course, arous
ing much bitterness. People at whose
homes these affairs are held naturally
feel they should be honored by an invita
tion in advance, so that they could make
proper arrangements for participation;
and then municipal officers feel that their
official position should entitle them to
full recognition. ,
However, day after day goes by without
additional invitations being sent out by
the exclusive set. And while the Oak
street society columns cannot be given
over to criticism or personal opinion, yet
it does seem only fair and right to say
that the members of the Burglary Asso
ciation do seem a little more exclusive in
their social dealings than would seem
necessary in tnese democratic aays.
Mr. Ling Sing, the well-known Second
street oplum-len proprietor, entertained
at fan-tan Friday evening. Among those
present were noted Messrs. Lee Sung, Ah
Sung, Lew Wong. .Hop ilign, cnee roo,
Chung Jue and Oi Gee. Me. Sing was
assisted in receiving by Mrs. Sing. Dain
ty bowls of chop-suey and delicious gob
lets of Chinese gin were served, and the
game of the evening was thoroughly en
Joyed. The party repaired afterwards to
the Cameron for breakfast, and will spend
a few days there.
Sweet charity has few more active and
devoted workers than Miss Ida City. Dur
ing the past few days Miss City has been
making a house-to-house canvass in the
interest of a fund for needy saloonkeep
ers. Miss City's plan Is that of helping
others to help themselves, and the funds
raised by her are paid out carefully for
value received. Thus, many a needy sa
loonkeeper is able to dispose of wares
that otherwise may never be sold. Miss
City is resting over Sunday at the Cam
eron. Dame Rumor has It that wedding bells
are not to ring, after all, for Miss Durand
and Mr. Allen. An estrangement Is said
to have arisen, even after Miss Durand
left the Cameron a week ago, ostensibly
to meet the groom-elect. Miss Durand
returned to the Cameron yesterday, but I

the efforts of Interested friends to see
the young lady and verify the report con
cerning her engagement proved unavail
ing, as she begged to be excused on the
plea, that she was not feeling sober. Miss
Durand is one of the belles of Oak-street
circles. Mr. Allen is a prominent bar
tender. HONORS FOR THIS STATE
