The radical reductions tho owners of
Terraco Park have authorized us to
make In order to effect a clan sale of
the remaining lots in this tract by
the 6th of June demonstrate clearly
the superiority of conditions here as
compared with those of the Atlantic
Coast at the present time. The mem
bers of the Municipal Railway & Im
provement Company, owners of Terrace
Park, are wealthy and influential East
ern manufacturers, but they face cir
cumstances at the present time that

PALATIAL HOME
Business Men Will Formally
Open New Building
June 12.
FURNITURE IS LUXURIOUS
Llving-Koonis and Facilities for
Banquets and Social Gatherings
Are Among Features of the
Commercial Club Block.
In stepping across the portals of the
main entrance to the new eight-story
office building at the northwest corner
of Oak and Fifth streets, the visitor
sees in mosaic the name "Commercial
Club" worked into the steps. Carried
on a' swift-moving elevator to the fifth
floor and alighting at that station, the
visitor finds himself in a broad hall
way which resembles th,at of a first
class hotel. Opening from this main
hallway are sleeping apartments in
single rooms and suites, with brass
bedsteads. handsome furniture and
draperies of silk and lace. Each room
Is furnished in a different color scheme
and at convenient Intervals there are
bathrooms, telephone booths and all
the accessories found In the modern
big apartment houses. Several sets-of
suites are also provided in the ar
rangement of this floor. The Inten
tion of the governors of the club,
which occupies quarters on the three
stories above. Is to let these rooms
either permanently or transiently to
members of the organization, or to
visitors to Portland who may be fur
nished with privilege cards. A. L.
Tetu has the distinction of being the
first "roomer" in the club quarters.
Elevators and a good wide staircase
connect this floor with those above.
and upon reaching the next floor there J
will be found the general office of
Manager Tom Richardson and his staff
in charge of the publicity and exploita
tion work; Mr. Richardson's private
office; storeroom for the literature and'
supplies of tho department; Steward
May's office, and in the northwest cor
ner, a large room which Ms intended
for meetings of various commercial
organizations and club business meet
ings. Along the Fifth street front, of
this story is located the billiard room,
100x40. iri which are installed IS new
tables nine for billiards and nine for
pool. The room is fitted up with every
convenience for devotees of the games,
and in cues and racks the latest styles
are furnished. Upholstered settees
are arranged around tho walls. Tho
floor Is laid with a covering of cork
linoleum, which Is soft and noiseless
to walk on and is easily kept clean.
Opening from this room is a smaller
room fronting on Oak street, which
will be used as a lounging room and
social meeting place for alayers.
Provide for Their Guests.
The seventh floor is in reality the
one where members and visitors will
first make their entry into the club
proper, for here at the landing space
for the elevators is located the club
office and tho magnificently furnished
and decorated main parlor on the Fifth
street side, and the women's reception
room, facing Oak street, to the west of
the office. Tills women's drawing room
is daintily and beautifully furnished
in Louis XVI style, which Is carried
out even to the stucco cornice, wall
tapestry and window' draperies. the
color scheme is blue and, gold, the
furniture being of Circassian walnut
with ormolu embellishment. Leading
from this parlor is a spacious dressing
room. and when the club gets Into run
ning order a maid will be in attend
ance. A private dining-room on the eighth
floor will be placed at the disposal of
women who are entitled to its use.
where lunches and dinners will be
served from a private serving-room
This private dining-room is one of
several others that are available for
private dining parties. One of these
Is to be used for meetings of the Board
of Governors when required. On the
seventh floor there are located three

this tract a year ago. They require
and must have more cash or collateral
to run their businesses, so have de
cided to lose in the sale of Terrace
Park rather than risk, to the slightest
degree, their commercial Interests at
home.
You can easily appreciate the cause
for this caution on their part from
the fact that the Erie R. R. passed into
Harriman's hands recently for the want
of a few paltry thousands ready money.
The plants and businesses of these men
have not deteriorated In- value or earn
ing power, but banks cannot advance
money like they used to ready cash
or discountable paper is all that counts
cardrooms; a coat and hat checking
room, of capacity to care for 500 per
sons; a wineroom, containing besides
the sideboard, two or three tables and
chairs; telephone exchange connecting
with the several booths and with
phones which may be used at the
tables In the main dining-room, there
being 136 telephones in use of both
lines. .
The main parlor, 40x100, facing Fifth
street on the seventh floor, Is pro
nounced by the governors and deco
rators who have put in the furnishings,
as the handsomest lounging-room on
the Coast. The massive furniture Is
In Mission oak and mahogany, chairs
and lounge's In leather upholstery and
hand carved In special designs. The
scheme is carried out in green, the
heavy v&Jvet carpet and wall tapestry
are of the richest material obtainable
suitable for the purpose, and the elec
tric lighting fixtures are of special
design and artistic arrangement. At
the north end of the room two fire
places, with art tiling, lend a homelike
appearance to the room, though steam
heating will' be employed when weath
er conditions demand. The wall panels
of French tapestry paper present wood
scenes and a frieze of rich color leads
to a heavy stucco cornice.
Rising from one side the office, an
art stairway and landing lead to the
top or eighth floor. At the landing
three windows open on Oak street,
which are to be fine examples of art
glass work. The lower windows will
have a view of the city of Portland
rrom the Heights, showing Hood, St.
Helens and Adams in the distance,
worked out In a sky effect at the top.
An elaborate newel surmounted with
a bronze will stand at the foot of the
first flight.
Dining-Hall Seats 400.
This staircase leads to the hallway
on the top floor, where the great din
ing room is located. The view from
the windows of this room on the Fifth
and Oak street fronts is one of the
most comprehensive in the city.
For blocks in the surrounding busi
ness district rise the recently con
structed skyscrapers, and great vistas of
river and views of the East Side are
presented to the observer standing in
one of the windows or stationed-on the
iron balcony encircling the buitdlng,
egress to which is made, through
French windows at intervals.. This
dining hall will seat 400 on occasions
of banquets, and will be arranged to
seat about 250 ordinarily. The room is
40x100, and will be provided with tables
of various dimensions, from single to
big round ones to accommodate parties
of a dozen or so, who may desire to
dine or lunch together.
The floor Is covered with cork lino
leum of snuff color; the walls are
wainscoted with selected Oregon fir to
a height of about 9 feet and a deep
red frieze bands the walls. At the
north end an elegantly carved side
board will be piled high with glass
-and silver pieces, while the lower com
partments will contain table linen.
Other sideboards will be placed at fre
quent intervals along the walls. Dam
ask draperies of buff and lace medal
lions soften the light from the windows
of the two sides, the lace having the
club monogram in the center. One feat
ure In the architecture of this floor Is
that the celling is hung from-trusses
thus doing away with posts. On occa
sions of banquets those attending will
have unobstructed view of the speak
ers, a privilege not often afforded in
large gatherings.
Leading off to the northwest cor
ner of the building i located the kit
chen, which is equipped with the most
modern and convenient appliances that
can be bought. Devices for heating
cooling, washing and drying, besides
cooking, are in place, and the long
I-rench range and charcoal broiler
stretch along the extreme west wall
Above these an immense hood of gal
vanized lion draws up whatever odors
arise and opens into a ventilator A
three-compartment steam vegetable
stand and a soup boiler of the latest
pattern are among the new cooking
appl ances. together with steam oyster
chafing dishes of the style used at
Rectors and other noted restaurants in
Jn me attic above the kit
chen are located an Ice-making ma
chine and cold storage rooms, and in
the pantry Is built another cold storage
compartment to be used for fruits etc
A freight elevator connects with the
basement and extends to the attic by
means of which all supplies for ' the
culinary department are delivered In
the basement will be located a 'wine
cellar of the most approved type.
Mr. May and the governors expect to
have the kitchen and dining hall ready
for serving lunch at the end of next
week, and the other floors of the club
rooms will be made ready as soon there
after as possible. The formal open
ing of the club is being arranged for
June 12. the date of the annual din
ner. The governors will decide at their
next meeting what form of entertaln-
iTH, n VIvma.rl,k .he PenlnS. whether
it shall take the form of a banquet at
a set price per plate, or a reception.

in the East ti.ese days. This is Just
the reason why every remaining lot in
Terrace Park must and will be sold
by June 6 and a distribution of cash
and contracts made. It creates an op
portunity for, investors such as we
have never seen in 20 years of experi
ence and observation.
The profits that owners will realize
on this property in the next two years
are going to be enormous. From our
position as selling agents we expect
to make this the most popular real
estate office In Oregon. If you have the
slightest conception of realty values
you must realize what Terrace Park
lots at these prices mean. At regular

This unusually fine specimen of lilac was grown by Robert Foulkes

varying from six to 10 Inches tall, and Mr. Foulkes considered it one of
the best specimens he has ever seen.
OREGONIAX, PORTLAND,
Muchhas been done here in the past year in the way of improvements, many thousands
have been expended in grading streets and bringing water in front of every 'lot.
url;es It has long been conceded to
be one of tht uppermost values in
Portland .and much below the market
price. Nevertheless, this "ill wind" in
the East cuts the prices still lower,
in some cases 25 per cent, making the
property, in actual truth, little short
of - a gift. As an oldtime real estate
man said In our city office yesterday,
"There'll come a time, and it Isn't far
ofT, either, when you'll have to talk
up around. $1200 and $1500 to be lis
tened to by Terrace Park residents."
The revised prices: $450 lots can
now be bought for $320 $20 down and
$3 0 a month. For two lots the in
ducements are still better: $312 a lot,

ing detained without proper process of
law. The acts charged against the
Prince and of which he has taken his
oath that he is not guilty appear to have
been committed more than 20 years ago,
and the defenders of the Prince affirm
that they would therefore be regarded
as beyond the .period of inquiry into such
offenses, even If they were ever com
mitted. Ball in $125,000 has been offered
and refused.
