JOHNS IS AFTER MILLS Big District Across the River From Mllwaukie to Confluence of Wil lamette and Columbia. Busy Scene of Bustling Activity. While the total of East Side realty alea doss not foot up aa large this week aa for aeveral weeks past, ft doea' not mean that there has been a falling off In Interest. There haa been a falling off In the larger transactions, but a corre sponding increase in residence property sales. There certalanly has been no fall ing oft In new buildings either Inside nor In the suburbs. A real estate man at Arleta. on the Mt. Scott railway, said he could walk half a mile in almost any direction from hts office on the railway and count 50 new cottages under construction. This is par tially true of nearly every locality. Cer tainly th architects have their handa full of work that has been piling up for some time and building permits are being Is sued as rapidly as ever. It is noticed In central Bast Portland and Alblna that the vacant lots are being covered with dwellings of excellent class.

All the lots In this dis trict out to Cast Thirty-ninth street have been sold out by the owners of tracts to those who are now building. Buys One Hundred Aores. "We have had more inquiries this week than for some time for all kinds of realty," said Joseph Buchtel, of Buchtel & Kern, "but more especially for tracts of two. tnree and ten acres in the surburbs." Mr. Buchtel and F. Vervlck have pur ' chased 100 acres of a pioneer farm on the Southern Pacific railroad on the south borders of Mllwaukie for which they have agreed to pay J10.000. On the tract is a lot of valuable timber.

At Mllwaukie about (three quarters of a mile from the electric carline C. H. Thompson sold to J. F.

JOHNS' STEADY GROWTH Commercial Club Working to Secure More Manufactories. There is a steady growth at St Johns that Is satisfactory to the progressive citizens, and the annual meeting of the St. Johns Commercial Club Wed nesday night was really significant of the real spirit of the city. It Is ex pected confidently that under the pres idency of Peter Autsen. elected at this meeting to head the organization for the coming year, that It will be an Im portant factor in landing manufactur ing establishments, several of which are now assured. There was a most optimistic spirit among the members of the club and a determination to push the town along. The board of directors are active business men, and, with the support of the community, they can do much for St. Johns. It is proposed to furnish the clubrooms in the Holbrook block and make them the Quarters of the organization. It may be said that the Interests that are coming up during the ensuing year will be large and Important There will be something doing through the year on the Peninsula. More than a dozen large concerns are preparing to locate near St. Johns, which will give employment to large numbers. Among the manufacturing concerns that are assured is the Collapsible Box Factory, to be erected on the water front by Donaldson & Co. The pur chasers of the Rita are from Utah. Construction work on the plant will tart during the coming weak. The new plant will give employment to about 60 hands, mostly skilled. Three other concerns are to locate In East St. Johns. The St. Johns Land Com pany announces the sale this week of three factory sites. One of the con cerns will engage In the manufacture of crossarms. The other two sites were obtained for manufacturing purposes, the nature of which has not been an nounced. The Indications are that a,t and around St. Johns a large manufac turing district will develop, and. In fact. Is already being worked up. New plans have been prepared for the proposed Baptist Church, and the contract will soon be let. Work on the foundation has been started. The building is to be completed by August 1. Plans have been prepared for re modeling the Central -Hotel, and the,, work Is under way. The building committee of the St. Johns Council will direct the "comple tion of the unfinished City Hall, which has been a great drawback to that place. The city has taken charge of the structure, and under the direction of Architect Goodrich work will be resumed at once. Delay In comple tion of the building will undoubtedly cause extra expense to the city on account of the advance in the cost of material since the second contract for inside finishing was let. The new Council has taken hold of affairs with an apparent earnest desire to work for the best Interests of St. Johns. Mayor Couch is able and suc cessful in his own affairs and natural ly much is expected of him. Sales of realty In St. Johns during the past week have been steady.

Could a city government be run accord ing to the teachings of Jesus Christ? Dr. Sheldon in his noted little book, entitled "In Hie Steps" declares that It can be. There Is no denying that If Christ were mayor of Portland and the city govern ment were run in harmony with his teachings, there would be some tremen dous changes take place. Dr. Brougher will discuss this thought in his sermon at the -White Temple Sunday night. He will consider some of the sensational things that would happen if Christ should suddenly come in person to Port land, and take charge of affairs. It is a question whether the modern city church would not be revolutionized as much as the city government. It is probable that modern society would suffer some start ling sensations also. Dr. Brougher will state some of the things that he believes would happen If Christ should suddenly come to Portland. At the morning ser vice, he will speak on "Christ's Estimate of a Sensational Preacher." Looking Into Insurance Election. NEW YORK, April 27.

ALLOW NO LABOR PARADES Germany Takes Measures Against .,' May Day Demonstrations. BERLIN", April 27. All appearances in, dlcate that May day this year will be observed less generally than ever In Ger many. Many cities bavje forbidden street parades or other public demonstrations, and the employers, as a rule, have taken strict measures to prevent the working men from celebrating the day, using the threat of a week's dismissal without pay if they absent themselves. This was the means which last year brought the Ham burg stevedores to terms. The Social Democratic National Com mittee has issued the usual proclamation upon the Socialists to observe the day, but the appeal Is less aggressive than usual. It urges the local organizations to study the situation for themselves, and then only celebrate the day If they can do so without getting Into trouble with their employers. The proclamation has been the subject on the part of the stalwart Socialists, but the leaders, in their speeches, deemed the moderate recommendations as being the only wise course in view of th firm atti tude of the municipality.
