EAST SIDE SALES
DOUBLE-IN' WEEK
Three Transfers of Unim
proved Sites Aggregate
$70,000.
MANY HOUSES ALSO SOLD
terrains Investors flan to Establish
Savings Bank in Albina Xear
Carbarns With Capital
Stuck of $50,000. -
East Side realty transfers for the past
week were more than double those of the
former week. Besides an unabatlng sale
of residence property, business locations
have again begun to move in the central
portion of the East Side. On Wednes
day a half-block on the north side of
East Alder street, between East Water
and East First, owned by Richard
Koehler' of the Southern Pacific Railway
Company, was sold to H. H. Brown for
137.600. There are no improvements on
this half, but the price is considered
reasonable. It Is near where the railroad
company contemplates the erection of a
passenger depot.
Two other considerable sales in this
district were made. J. Marion Smith
purchased a quarter block on the north
west corner of East Taylor and East
Third streets for $16,000. This quarter is
not improved, but lies in the warehouse
district. Two lots on the southeast cor
ner of Belmont and Bast Taylor streets
were sold by D. W. Rumbaugh to Jens
Olsen for JH.OuO. These three sales In
the warehouse district aggregate nearly
$70,000. which for this season is consid
ered an excellent showing.
Sales of residences all over the East
Bide show no abatement. .J. Lucas, of
O'Donnell & Lucas, purchased a. block
and & half in Woodlawn Heights and will
proceed with the erection of 15 cottages.
This is the largest single sale made in
that neighborhood. Mr. Lucas' idea Is
that there will be a considerable move
ment toward tho Columbia River on the
completion of the big packing plant by
Swift & Company and other Industries,
ind many small houses will be needed.
Tho price paid for the block is not an
nounced. Mr. Lucas says he is sure that
Woodlawn and the surrounding district
will respond to the advance now in evl
Sence ail over the Bast Side, and he
Rill invest about $30,000 to back up his
ludgment.
w Bank, for Albina.
M. S. Davis, of Union, Eastern Oregon,
has purchased a home on East Morrison
treet, in Sunnyside, for $3400 from Sam
uel Anderson. The house is new. having
lust been flnisheti. Mr. Davis expects to
occupy the house as soon as he closes
his business at Union.
At Kenilworth, on Francis avenue. G.
Ft. Crane has purchased four lots for
$3115, which is one of the largest sales
msde In that addition for sohie time.
Investors from Corvallls are negotiat
ing with J. II. Nolta for a quarter on
Kllllngsworth and Albina avenues on
which to erect a two-story bank building.
These men think that the location would
be a good one for a savings bank owing
to the carbarns of the Electric Railway
Company, where between $30,000 and $33,
000 is paid out every month to the car
men alone. This is but a fraction of the
cash handled in the neighborhood. It is
proposed to erect a building and establish
a banking house with a capital stoGl? of
$50,000. While this location is some dis
tance from the heart of the city, it is
already a center of considerable import
ance. Big Pavement Contract Let.
A $73,000 contract has just been let for
the improvement of Killingsworth ave
nue, .the biggest single contract for hard
surface pavement yet awarded In any
residence district of the city. North
ward of Killingswortb avenue the Love
tract of 600 acres has been laid off in
acreage and lots, and has been placed on
the market. This will carry the north
borders of the city to Columbia Slough,
which is destined to become the site of
great manufacturing districts. Connect
ing with Killingsworth avenue at the
west is Patton avenue, which It is also
proposed to improve to a connection with
Dawson street, which runs through Pe
ninsula, University Park, Portsmouth
and on to St. Johns.
There is a remarkable forward move
ment in North Albina, along Killings
worth avenue, where three years ago
there were few dwellings. On this ave
nue, where a year or more ago lots could
be had for $400 and $600, they are now
hard to get for S1200, in the vicinity of the
carbarns. J. H. Nolta, wiib has been
one of the moving spirits in that neigh
borhood for several years, says that
practically all the original property has
been sold. There has, he says, been a
steady advance in property valuation.
Dr. Armstrong sold his home two
months ago for $3000, and since then It
has again changed hands for $5000. Dr.
Austin has Just sold his home for $4000.
The Nolta corner lot covered with a
frame structure, on Killingsworth and
Albina avenues, was sold a year ago for
$10,000. It was resold for $15,000 -and is
now held for $20,000.

STEAL GIPSIES' HORSES
WHEELER COUNTY BOYS ItE
V EKSE OltDEK OF THINGS.
Lads Are Incorrigible and Are Given
Term in Reform School for
Their Pains.
FOSSIL. Or., July 20. (Special.) Sher
iff Ray, of Wheeler County, took two lit
tle boys, named Mobart Osbom and Lon
Winebarger, to the State Reform School
on July 17. The boys, who are aged 10
and 11 years, respectively, stole a couple
of horses from a camp of gypsies at
Mitchell and rode off with them, as much
for a lark as with any thought of theft,
but as' they had been In somewhat similar
trouble before, had got to staying away
from home for nights at a stretch and
were clearly beyond their parents' con
trol, Judge Hoover thought It best for all
concerned to commit the lads to the Re
form School. It Is reversing the old order
of things with vengeance when boys
get away with gypsies' horses, as the
gypsy who is famed in song and story
used to lead the van in kidnaping not
only horses but children as well.
CHKMAWA IX FIRST RANK
Improvements W ill Make It Leading
Indian School In Country.
CHEMAWA, July 20. (Special.)
The Chemawa Indian School is build
ing a new brick hospital at a cost of
119,978, the contractor being Fred A.
Erixon, of Salem. W. H. Dalrymple, also
of Salem, has the contract for the
school's new brick bakery at a cot of
$4000. . The work on both these build
ings is rapidly progressing- and It is
hoped to have them ready for occu
pancy for the opening of the Fall term
of the school.
The hospital will be supplied with
the most modern and sanitary equip
ment and the school'ej open-air sani
tarium will be extended. The bakery
will be supplied with the latest im
proved oven and appliances.
The steam and electrical engineer
ing department of the school will also
be Improved by additions to meet the
growing needs of the institution. With
these Improvements Chemawa will
maintain her rank as the best equipped
Indian manual training school not only
on the Pacific Coast, but of the whole
United' States Indian service.
WHO IS BEHIND NORTH COAST?
Wise Ones In.Tacoma Would Have
It the Northwestern.
TACOMA. Wash., July 20. (Special.)
It is believed by those prominent in local
railroad circles that the building of the
North Coast road, in spite of the state
ments of President Strathorn, Is a move
ment by the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway to further their line to the Coast.
A railroad man of prominence stated
today:
"It may be as Mr. Strathorn says, that
the road Is being constructed for the
Canadian Pacific, but I do not believe
It. He said truly that the road would be
a very valuable asset to any transconti
nental line now operating, for It reaches
a good country. The Northwestern has
made the boast that it will reach the
Pacific Coast before the Milwaukee does,
and I am inclined to think that this is
one of the steps taken by them to do so.
' "The North Coast line will run from
Spokane to Portland and that city is the
objective point of the Northwestern."
DEAD OP THE NORTHWEST
Henry Klitult, a Resident of . The
Dalles Since 1861.
THE DALLES, Or., July 20. (Special.)

Brlde. approved in proper form, and
Bowlsby was released this evening. The

North Bend, each of whom qualifies In

Elevator Drops Five Stories.
SPOKANE. Wash., July 20. (Special.l
By the breaking of one of the valves, the
elevator of the Rookery building was to
day precipitated from the fifth floor to
the ground, and two occupants, the op
erator and a young girl, had a thrilling
ride, but escaped without injury. The
swift flight caused the girl to faint. The
only damage to the car was the breaking
of the large mirrors.
Artman's Argument Sound.
NEWBERI. Or.. July 20. (Special.)
Hon. TV. Lair Hill, who listened to an
address here this afternoon by Judge Art
mnn, of Indiana, on the unconstitution
ality of licensing saloons, said in an In
terview that he considered Artman log
ically correct in his reasoning, hut ex

and some of the Pacific Mall Company's
steamers.
Reliable authority states that this in
spection is being carried on by the Gov
ernment with a view to chartering the
steamers for the Government transports
should occasion require it.
Inquiry into the matter of securing
auxiliary vessel's for the fleet coming to
the Pacific lias been quietly in progress
for the past few weeks at different Coast
points. Captain Kidstron, who was among
the three officials making the survey, is
said to be a Government employe in the
secret service department at San Francisco.

litical Tension of Council.
GOLDFiNDALB, Wash.. July 20. (Spe
cial.) The decision of Judge McCredie,
determining who is Marshal of Golden

persons as Marshal. W. Cv Burgen, whom
Judge McCredie holds to be entitled to
the office. Is one of the best-known and
most successful peace officers lof the
state. He has been Deputy Sheriff four
years. Sheriff four years and Marshal of

withdrew. Today, for the purpose of re
lieving the local political tension, Mr.

office. He hopes by doing this to enable
the Mayor to nominate a Marshal who
will be acceptable to both political fac
tions. His action in this Is highly ap
proved by all who have the Interest of
the town at heart.

NO LOVE FOR OIL OCTOPCS
Pullman Citizens Refuse to Help
Save Rockefeller Property.
PULLMAN, Wash., July 20. (Special.)
When the warehouse of the Standard
Oil Company caught fire this morning,
volunteers were called for to carry the
oil from the building, but the animosity
toward John D. Rockefeller, head of the
oil trust, was shown when. Instead of
assisting to save the oil, several onlook
ers expressed a hope that all of his prop
erty would burn. 'Shouts of "Save every
thing but Rockefeller's property" were
heard.

TEN PER GENT
DIVIDENDS
GUARANTEED
ToTliose Who Own a Hundred
Dollars or More Listen :
The business of The J. M. Acheson Company, of Portland, has, like many others in
these prosperous times, grown beyond their present means, if they desire, as they do, to
equal the demands of their customers.
SEVEN YEARS ago Mr. J. M. Acheson, with GRIT AS CAPITAL, together with
a little money BELONGING TO OTHERS, began business in a HOLE IN THE
WALL in this city, MANUFACTURING LADIES' AND GENTLEMEN'S FINE
GARMENTS, and from the beginning the little coterie interested, received AN
NUALLY AS DIVIDENDS, from 10 to 20 per cent.
Today The J. M. Acheson Company is doing a business of $350,000 per year, and
with an increased capital the business could easily be increased to $500,000 a year.
This corporation wants and requires $50,060 more for the purpose of increasing
their manufacturing end of the business THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN THE
CITY. In place of having 75 girls and sewing machines, the business demands 250 girls
and machines, and this $50,000 is to MEET THE DEMANDS in this department, and
also to INSTALL AN UP-TO-DATE, HIGH-GRADE GROCERY DEPARTMENT
IN THEIR NEW BUILDING ADJOINING THEIR PRESENT LOCATION, in con
nection with their big garment store.
To "Patronize Home Industry" certainly should be the motto of every city. Folks,
here is your chance.
I have 50,000 shares of stock for sale, with an absolute written guarantee of 10 per
cent interest per annum, payable every six months. The par value of each share is
$1.00. I want to sell it, and I want to sell it in small lots of from $100 to $500, no more.
Can you do better with your surplus cash?
Again," Listen : The company not only gives you 10 per cent interest GUARAN
TEED, but with an eye to business, every stockholder may buy his or her suits, gowns,
cloaks, skirts; underwear, corsets, gloves, hosiery, neckwear, waists, children's and
misses clothing, leather goods, furs, gentlemen's tailoring and other lines from The
Acheson Company at a discount of 10 per cent for cash figure it out. Suppose you
purchase $500 worth of stock. You are guaranteed $50 per year interest, and suppose your
bill for groceries and clothing for the family during the year amounts to say only $300,
less 10 per cent discount, which is $30 then you have $50 and $30, making a TOTAL
OF $80 that you have received in the shape of interest and saving in the purchase of sup
plies. It is a saving, for the reason that the prices, quality considered, are as low as
those of any firm in this city.
As soon as the grocery department is opened stockholders will be entitled to the dis
count privileges which will be given in connection with the department store.
Why do The Acheson Company agree absolutely to do these things? Why do they
wish the small investors of from $100 to $500 instead of investors with $1000 to $5000
to invest? The best advertisement any business can have, is the approval of those
satisfied with their dealings, and if it were possible to have 50,000 people of Portland
take only one share of stock each, The Acheson Company w.ould prefer to have it so;
then it would have 50,000 customers making money for themselves, and helping a busi
ness that has now grown to such proportions that additional capital is required.
Beginning Monday morning, this stock will be on sale, at the new home of the
company on Fifth street, between Morrison and Alder, or at my office.
' If you have not all the money you want to use in the purchase for all you want to have,
I shall arrange for all the time that you heed to pay for it on partial payments. All par
ticulars may be had either at the Company's Store, or from
oWIhi
