ing, and after ascertaining that the

Pddress, in the course of which ho said

living human Institution,, and that It
consecrated many buildings that had
been erected for educational, scientific,
religious and philanthropic purposes.
Continuing, Orator Ryan further re
marked: "It has performed no duty that has
given us greater pleasure than the lad
ing of the cornerstone for ' this build
ing, which is to be used for so noble
and worthy a purpose, and we here
congratulate you upon -the progress
made in Its erection, and may It long
be a monument to the principles of true
Odd Fellowship.
Grand Master Scott thanked the Ma
sons for their presence and services.
"I thank the' officers of the Grand
Lodge of Masons for their participa
tion in tha exercises of today," he said,
"showing as it does their fraternal
spirit, and recognizing the fatherhood
of God and the brotherhod of man. It
Is our desire and purpose to make th!i
place a home in reality and all that
the word home implies. Home means
everything to this Nation. Instinct
ively our recollections go back to the
home of our childhood with tenderness,
if that home has been what it should
have been, and the homes of Odd Fel
lows are usually true homes.
Teach Love of Home.
"We should teach in the home, love
of God and love of country. In build
ing this home we are providing a place
of rest for unfortunates who have no
one to care for them. But it Is not to
be merely a stopping place, a place to
sleep and eat, but a place where they
will receive the tenderest care and at
tention of the order of which they are
wards. The rules of this home are not
to be severe rules, but all are to be for
the comfort and proper care of those
who will live here."
The new building wll be of brick,
four stories high. Including concrete
basement, 120xHO feet, and attic. It
will contain 55 rooms. In the base
ment will be the main dining-room,
31x37 feet, and alno the kitchen' and
laundry. On the first floor will be a
large reception-room. There are four
main entrances.
Architect Lewis explained the gen
eral plans of the structure to the vis
itors. He said that the building had
been so arranged that it ran be en
larged on all the sides without in
terfering with, the design, the object
being to group all the buildings under
one roof in the end. Instead of scat
tering them about the grounds. The
original plana called for a 24-room
building, . to coat $20,000. but these
were changed to provide 55 rooms, and
an assessment of $1 on each member
in Oregon was levied. Although this
$1 assessment was illegal under the
regulations, every lodge in the juris
diction promptly paid up. and the new
home will be dedicated without a dol
lar of indebtedness.
Grounds Are Extensive.
In the home tract there are seven
cre of ground, bought in 1900. A.
residence stood on the ground and for
one year it was occupied, but, being too
small, a frame dormitory was built.
This soon proved Inadequate and this
new brick structure is the result of
the demand for more room.
The home Is governed by trustees ap
pointed by the grand lodge. The Re
bekah lodges also have had an impor
tant part in the establishment and
maintenance of the home. They fur
nished the rooms of the old buildings
and will also furnish the rooms of the
new one. The grand lodge pays nil
the running expenses of the home by
assessment on Its members.

FINE BAND FOR THE- OAKS
SPLENDID AUSTRIAX MUSICAL
ORGANIZATION" ARRIVES.
Niklas Sohilronyl, the Leader, Is One
of the Most Widely Known
Conductors of Europe.
Fifteen years ago a young man,
scarcely more than a boy, entered the
military service of the Emperor' of
Austria. Of high family connections
and a graduate of one of tha military
schools of the empire, he at once as
sumed a position of Importance among
the officers of the post to which he
-was assigned.
He soon rose to the rank of lieuten
ant, but his rank and social position
were quickly overshadowed by the
wonderful musical ability which he
displayed. At the post he quickly rose
to the leadership" In military circles.
In army circles his fame spread rapidly
and he was finally appointed leader of
the crack band of the army.
The band was posted at one of the
frontier garrisons, where the armies
of two nations constantly glare at
eaclv other from across the boundary
line. As a guarantee of peace and
pood faith, several regiments of troops
have been maintained at thefrontler
garrisons for years by Emperor Wil
llam of Germany and the aged Em
peror of Austria. The regiments are
the most distinguished in the service,
for rivslry between the two camps Is
keen. Equally sincere Is the rivalry
of the bands of the opposing armies.
The best bands of the entire 'armies
of the two powers are' stationed there.
It was In charge of the Austrian band
at the frontier garrison that the young
man was placed. The young man was
Niklas Schllzonyl. His -name became
famous among the military bands of
Europe.
Having served out his term' of en
listment, though still subject to mili
tary service, he proceeded to organize
a band of his own. As a mark of grati
tude for his distinguished services the
Kmperor granted to htm permission to
enorajte for the band students in the
national military school.
i Tha leader gave a bonded contract.
by which he agreed to continue the
musical education of the young men.
He must provide them, according to
the terms of the contract, with mu
sical Instructors appointed by the gov
ernment, and with fencing masters.
With this aggregation of youngsters
Schllzonyl appeared In many of the
leading capitals of Europe. The band
created a furore wherever it waa heard.
So successful was Schllzonyl in his en
terprise that he determined to tour
America, where all talented foreigners
come In search of tha abundant shek
els. In New Tork tha band was enthusi
astically received. In Boston and
other large Eastern cities its reception

was no less cordial. In Chicago last
Summer the band made such a de
cidedly pleasing impression that it was
dated to return.
The band reached Portland yesterday
in order to fill its engagement of sev-.
eral weeks at The Oaks, which is to
open May 30. It is composed of 40
youngsters, each an artist with the
particular instrument that is entrusted
to him.
It was only after continued effort
that the band was Induced to make
the long Journey westward. However,
an engagement following the one at
The Oaks was offered by the manage
ment of Luna Park in Seattle, and the
famous Schilzonyl's "Hungarian Hus
sars" then decided to accept tha engagement.

J. Wemme. Tha cost reported Is
$50,0oa.
Real estata transfers for tha week,
including the nominal prices In over a
third of tha transactions, foot up $S0,
837. If the real figures had been given
in at the County Clerk's office the total
would show considerably over tha
million mark.
As an indirition of how values are
being brought up to somewhere near a
correct basis, a transfer of a quarter
block in Holltday Addition was last
week recorded for the piece at East
Sixth and Irving at 5000. This piece
was bought a year ago for $2500.
Tha syndicate of San Francisco capi
talists which lately purchased, through
the-firm of Whiting A Rountree for
150,000, the Wemme property on Front
street, near Washington, last week ex
tended their purchases to include 110
feet frontage on West Park street, be
tween Stark and Burnside streets, sama
frontage being the holdings of Cornel
ius McCala and H. C. Wulf. About
$65,000 was the price paid for these two
pieces. . The syndicate has made offers
to purchase other property in the
vicinity of tha above purchases. Tha
syndicate still has a large amount to
invest In Portland property.
Sherril Blaadell, a mining engineer,
has purchased from William McMurray
the 75x100 on Wreldler street between

the agents reporting continued in
quiry for these suburban home loca
tions. At Rose City Park, as an indica
tion how lota are being picked up, tha
agents report that up to date, includ
ing acreage disposed of, the sales have
been equivalent to over a thousand lots.

half of that plat sold. While no figures
were secured from other tracts, agents

OLD SORES
t An old sore or ulcer la only a symptom, an outlet for the impurities and
poison9 wtici are in the blood, and as long as this vital fluid remains ia
this impure, contaminated state the place will never heal. The application,
of salves, washes, powders, etc., may cause the spot to scab over, but a fresh
outpouring of diseased matter from the blood starts it again, and thus it goe3
on. gradually growing worse and Blowly affecting the entire, health of the
sufferer. There are many ways in which the blood becomes contaminated
and poisoned. A long spell of sickness breeds disease germs in the system,
the failure of the eliminative members to remove the refuse and waste matter
of the body, the excessive use of mineral medicines in certain diseases, all
infect the blood with morbid matter and germs which sooner or later is man
ifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Persons with inherited blood taint are
very apt to be afflicted with sores and ulcers. The taint may lie dormant
during young, vigorous life, but when middle age is reached or passed and
the natural energies begin to grow weaker, the tissues in some weak point
break down and a chronic sore is formed and kept open by the constant
drainage of impure matter from the blood. If the cause is not removed the
sore win continue to grow worse by eating deeper into the flesh, festering,
discharging, and slowly undermining the constitution. S. S.'S. heals old
sores by going down to the very bottom of the trouble, driving out the
Impurities and building up the entire circulation. When S. S. S. has removed
the cause the blood becomes rich and healthy, the sore begins to heal, new
flesh is formed, and soon the place is cured. Do not depend on external
applications, which do not reach the blood, but begin the use of S. S. S. and
removeof the cause, and then the sore must heal. Book on Sores and Ulcers
