NEW WAREHOUSES TELL THEIR STORY TYPES OF PORTLAND'S NEW RESIDENCES OFF FOR BOISE TO TALK liGUl Springing Up Everywhere, They Show Growth of Wholesale Business. 120 Oregon and California Delegates Leave on Special Train. ONE WILL COVER A BLOCK PARDEE UNABLE TO COME Fall Realty Trade In Inside Property bhows Remarkable Promise. Pemand for Heights Residence Locations Growing Fast. Significant of the rapid Increase of Port land's already great wholesale business Is the present extension of the warehouse system throughout the city. Many new warehouses have been commenced during the past few months, others have been en larged and still other structures are planned for the near future. The move ment is not only a growth within the area commonly recognized as the wholesale dis trict, but it Is also an extension into sec tions of the city not heretofore given over to this use. One of the largest projects of this char acter which has been taken up recently was announced yesterday by Cnarles K. Henry, real estate dealer. It involves the erection of another large warehouse in the North End upon the block at present occupied by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works. The warehouse, as now planned, will cover the entire block bounded by Flanders, Glisan, Third and Fourth streets. This property was recently bought from the proprietors of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works by Mr. Henry and P. C. Pel ton. The present occupants retained a leaEe on the property, which will not ex pire until December 1. at which time the plant of the iron works will be moved to the new site north of the terminal yards. As soon as the present building Is va cated, steps will be taken to demolish the present building and prepare the site foi the erection of the new warehouse. Four Stories High, Covering Block. The new building will be four stories In height and, covering the entire block, wiil have an area 200 by 200. making it one of the largest structures of the kind in the city. It will be built along the most mod ern lines, as near fireproof as possible and will be In every way t first-clnss struc ture for wholesale purposes. It will oc cupy one of the most desirable locations in the city, as the block adjoins the yards of the Northern Pacific Terminal Com pany and will therefore have the best of shipping facilities. Six wholesalo firms will unite in the use of the warehouse when It is completed. Although its erection is assured, it is not certain by whom it will be built. The present owners have a proposition to con struct it for the lease of the six firms, and If this is not done Mr. Henry will sell his half of the block to the wholesalers and they will construct it In conjunction with Mr. Pelton, the owner of the other half of the site. Mr. Henry announced yesterday that the building is now cer tain to be erected. Growth of East Side Business. Especially notable In the present move ment among the local wholesalers Is the extension in the business district of the East Side. Two large new warehouses will be erected in this part of the city during the next few months, one of which is al ready commenced. Parlln Sr Orendorff Company has now completed plans for one of these structures. It Is to cover a full half-block south of Belmont street, be tween Water and the line of the,Southern Pacific. It will he four stories high and of brick. Many of the warehouses on the ERt Side are of wood. They were erected when the sites were cheap and the own ers did not feel Justified In making the necessary outlay for more substantial structures. Now, however, the value of this section as a permanent wholesale dis trict is assured and firms which are locat ing there are planning substantial fire proof quarters. Parlln & Orendorff Com pany has not decided the exact time when the warehouso will be commenced, but is waiting for advices from the head offices at Canton. Mitchell, Lewis & Staver is the firm which is now building a large warehouse in this district. It also is to cover a half block, and be four stories in height. The cement piles for the foundation are now being placed. The foundation alone of this structure will cost JlS.OOfl Makes River Property Rise. Still other warehouses are planned for the East Side, a number of which will bo erected during the next Spring. So great has been the demand for property nen.r the river for this purpose that it has been rising rapidly in price, but Is still consid ered low. It Is understood that several of the firms now located on Front street are taking locations on the East Side. Other new warehouses are also soon to be built on the West Side. Among them is the one which Is to be erected by Flelschner. Mayer & Co. It will be four stories in height and located adjoining the present factory of this firm. One of the sales of the past week also assures a new warehouse. J. McCraken A Co. have Just purchased a qunrter bloek at the northeast corner of Four teenth and Irving streets. It was pur chased from Dr. C. W. Cornelius and the price was $13,000. The sale was made by C. K. Henry. Mr. McCraken already owned the adjoining quarter and is plan ning to erect a large warehouse to cover the entire half-block. General Activity of the Week. Large sales have not been numerous dur ing the past week, but there has been a healthy activity. Inquiry for inside prop erty is Increasing, and all indications point to a B'all trade which will not be short of the transactions of last year and will probably show an excess. Nothing better shows the fine condition of the market than the fact that the transfers for the first eight months of the present year are only a little more than $500,000 short of the entire volume of business for last year. Realty transfers for the year IPOS amounted to $15,006,493. l'po the pres ent time -this year they amount to il4 310.747. H. Wemme has just sold a quarter-block at the southeast corner of Ninth and Couch streets to the Troy Laundry Com pany for $25,000. This company has its plant at present upon the Bast Sido. It is understood that it is to still be operated. . but that the company will also build a laundry upon its new site. Some Smaller Deals. George H. Johnson has Just purchased a quarter-block at the southwest, corner of Beech and Haight streets from A. Ander son. The price was $1300. Mrs. Oeorge M.C Mlllan, of New York, has sold four lots at the northeast corner of Virginia and Vermont streets for $1400. Both sales were made by C. K. Henry. Russell & Gilbert have purchased tho Bailey block on Union avenue, between Oak and Pine streets. The price was $10,000. The building will be utilized as a wholesale confectionery store.

The liet was complete save a few subscriptions promised that awaited confirmation from ab sent partners, and as Mr. Wil cox etated that he stood ready to take etlll another J5000 of the bonds If nece3ary, it was deemed btet not to wait any longer, but to issue the call for funds, which will be done at the meeting of the building commit tee upon Mr. Wilcox's return from the coast this week.

A number of transactions, aggregating Just about $75,000, have been closed up during the past week by A. F. Swensson & Co.

Irish of California, Says the Sooner Radicalism la Cut Oat. the Better for Democracy. John P. Irish, of California, one of the organizers of the Gold Democracy of 1896, is among tlje conservative Democrats greatly disappointed in Bryan. Mr. Irish is now in ' Portland. He has been a I prominent Democrat for years, but he vigorously opposed free silver. He fol lowed Bryan about the country delivering speeches In opposition to those of the silver-tongued orator from the Platte during the campaign of 1896. "Bryan has disappointed those who hoped that he might lead a united party at the next Presidential contest," de clared Mr. Irish yesterday, "and his dec laration in favor of combined Federal and state ownership of public utilities, while it has pleased the radicals, has alienated the conservatives entirely from him." Mr. Irish represents the stable and con servative element of the Democratic party and such a statement coming from him at this time bears no little weight. Hs thinks it is possible for either Bryan or Hearst to get the nomination, and expresses conviction that the sooner the question ' of radicalism is settled the better It will be for the Democratic party. He is firmly convinced the radical element will not triumph. From Frying Pan Into Fire. "The Democratic party in its desire escape from Hearst and find a Candida -e ..Sl . r-tL ' S .rafi - of an upright and blameless character, made a rush to Bryan in which the conservatives and the radicals all took part," he continued. "Many of the radi cals themselves, realizing that in a time when people are getting nice about taint ed money, they are also sure to be par ticular about tainted character when it comes to selecting a candidate for the Presidency. "The trouble with Bryan seems to be that he believes government is a failure, and having failed as an institution es tablished to maintain Justice among men, ft has proved itself capable of going into business and successfully managing the mosit complicated and important business affairs of the country as the owner and administrator thereof. "I think the people of this country be lieve with President Roosevelt that the Government is not a failure and that it is capable of governing Justly all the national and artificial persons within its Jurisdiction. The new policy of Bryan Implies the destruction of all the Ideas that were Imbedded in the Federal con stitution and a complete revolution of the aims and purposes of Government. To this the American people will never give their assent. It is quite possible that either he or Hearst will be a Presl aential candidate upon such a platform. I hope that this will be the case, be cause the sooner the issue is made and settled, the better for the welfare of the people. That it will be settled right, Just as the free silver question was, I have no doubt. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Marriage Licenses. CROWTHER-BBRG Thomas H. Crow ther, 11H First street; Theresa Berg, 20.

With Harrison Gray Otis at its head and occupying a special train of nine coaches, the Los Angeles Times excur sion party made 'a stop-over yesterday afternoon and evening to enjoy the hos pitality of Portland. There are about 110 In the party, which is en route to the Orient. General Otis is editor and pro prietor of the Times. It was considerably after 3 o'clock when the splendid train pulled into the Union Depot, consequently the excursion ists did not have much time to see the city. Tom Richardson rounded them up almost as soon as they got here and led them to the club quarters. There an Informal reception was tendered them at 6:80 o'clock followed by a repast sup posed to be a light luncheon but instead was really a heavy supper. There was everything in sight that a hungry man could wish for. General Otis expressed profuse thanks for the splendid reception. "Los Angeles and other Southern California cities shake hands with Portland and I tell you the clasp is one that will not be soon for gotten, - said General Otis. "I have seen evidences of greatness since I have been In your wonderful city. No one can help being Impressed with the solidity and permanance of the business character of Portland." John P. Irish, of California, a delegate to the National Irrigation Congress at Boise, said he had not been here for 12 years and felicitated the people of Port land upon the sign's of progress and pros, perity. He said cities consisted not only of buildings and streets but of tho hope and energy of its people, and that while the material San Francisco had been de stroyed, the city was still there, -as its people were as energetic and as hopeful as ever. Manager Richardson, on behalf of the Commercial Club, eulogized the "beauti ful wbmen and magnificent men" he saw among the excursionists and was so fervent in his delivery that he brought the blush to many a cheek. Mr. Richard, son spoke with the consciousness of con viction, as it was really a good-looking crowd. He talked about how Oregon and California were the same as one, each being the continuation of the other. After he had concluded, the ladies thronged around to thank him for the "sweet things" he had said. They didn't know that he had made the same speech more times than he has hairs on his head. Following the reception, the party made a flying trip to the Oaks. This is the third excursion party that has been con ducted by the Times. One attended the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo and the other went through Mexico. This one is the biggest of all, however. The party will be gone 90 days and will visit the most prominent points of Interest in China. Japan and the Philippines em barking from Seattle on The Dakota. GOES TO JWEET BRYAN State Senator Miller, of Lebanon, Leaves for Lincoln. State Senator Miller, of Lebanon, one of the few Democratic members of the Oregon Legislature, passed through Port land last evening on his way to Lincoln, Neb., where he is to be present at the ceremonies attending the homecoming of William Jennings Bryan on September 5. Invitations were sent out to all the Dem ocratic leaders, and Senator Miller was Included In the list of persons requested to be In attendance at -the return of Democracy's leader. "This occasion," said Senator Miller, "reminds me of ,the Chicago convention of 1696, which first nominated William Jennings Bryan for the Presidency. The state convention here in Portland that year was a stormy affair, the money question being the Issue, but the sliver men were in control. The Oregon dele gates to Chicago were: Dr. John Welrh, J. H. Townsend. W. F. Butcher, J. D. McKlnnon, Dr. Mullinix. J. O. Booth and myself, the first two named now being deceased. Several of the delegates to that convention afterwards went over to the Republican party and are now holding office or are candidates for election to office on the Republican ticket. "I expect to be gone about ten days, and I will have the pleasure of renewing my acquaintance with Mr. Bryan, whom I have met on several occasions since the convention which first nominated him for the Presidency."

Sacramento and Fresno Almost Di vide California A'ole for 190? Congress, Cap!(".I City Fi- nally Prevailing. Members of the California delegation to the National Irrigation Congress at Eolse arrived in Portland yesterday afternoon. Although everything was harmonious among them. It looked for a time yes terday morning as though there would be a split over the selection or meeting place of the next convention. The question was settled on the train before reaching Tort land. The Fresno and Sacramento delegates started on the trip expecting to win over the others for the Congress meeting place next year. Each side set forth Its argument but still there was no settle ment. The climax was reached yesterday morning when Arthur Briggs, secretary of the State Board of Trade of San Fran cisco, addressed the delegates, saying It had been decided that Sacramento should get the California vote for the next Irri gation meeting. Brlggs said a chairman had been selected for the meeting and that the decision that all should work for Sacramento was the result. Sacramento Finally Prevails. This startled many of the Fresno dele gates, who had heard of no such agree ment. Another meeting was held among the delegates to show that the Fresno representatives had not been won over by the other side and to object to the way In which Brlggs had handled the matter. Later, however, the two factions held a meeting and decided to work for Sacra mento. ' The party, which numbers about 70 delegates and their friends, arrived in Portland late in the afternoon, having been delayed by a landslide. They were immediately taken in charge by the Com mercial Club representatives. During the afternoon they were the guests of the street railway company and were taken about the city in special cars. Last evening they were guests at luncheon at the Commercial Club, after which an informal reception was hold. The Cali fornlans, together with the Oregon dele gates, "left lust nltrht by special train for the Idaho metroaolls. Pardee Unable to Come.
