THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, JtTXE 7, PICK UP SITES FOR RESIDENCES East Side Realty Dealers Re port Continued Activity in Lots and Buildings. JMO VACANT STORES REMAIN Kecently Improved Streets Attract Business Houses to Districts Heretofore Undesirable Be cause of Xo Pavements. East Side real estate men say there Is Increasing inquiry for East Side prop erty. Certain it is that more people have visited the East Side the past week than ever before. Many were Portland's sub stantial citizens and many were strang ers in the city. More than 15,000 book lets, descriptive of the Peninsula, were circulated during the week to the visitors by the Federated Clubs, and it is safe to say that people will know more abotft that portion of Portland and its pros pective manufacturing concerns than ever before. The visitors will remember the people of the Peninsula, 83 they were first greeted at the Union' Depot with bouquets of roses and were given pamphlets which told in an attractive manner all about the Peninsula's pros pective growth. Incidentally, the circu lation of these booklets will benefit the whole city. While sales the past week were mainly for residence property, larger transac tions are in prospect. Fred Cooper bought from Joseph Simon a quarter block in John Irving's First Addition for $4500. The Hancock Building Company bought lot 9, block 6, Hancock-street Addition, for J45O0, with a modern house. In West Irvington John A. Patterson sold to Ma tilda C. John lot 2, block 108. for 13000. Casper Von Bergen bought two lots at Highland for 2200. In the Vernon tract a number of good residence sales were made. Also a large number of attractive homes are being built. In Albina Homestead Mary F. Nelll bought four lots for J1900. H. A. Hlne purchased property in Tibbett's Addition to the amount of 14650. John P. Ranzau bought a lot and house at Highland for $2500. Albert S. Pullen sold to C. F.1 Hawley a parcel of land for $3400. Henry Smith purchased the south .half of lot 5. block IS, Elizabeth Irving's Addition, for $3250. Clorlnda Black purchased lot S, block 148, East Portland, for $5000. This lot is on East Davis and East Sixth streets. C. N. Rankin sold this lot to Mrs. Walker, May 22, for $3000. C. H. Farrington' purchased two lota in Irving ton for $3500.- In connection with the sales of resi dence property It may be said that the architects are as busy as ever preparing plans for more East Side homes. Business Conditions Good. Business conditions in East Portland are reported to be good in all lines. Every business room on Grand and I'nlon avenues is occupied. Some rooms which have been vacant for a while are now occupied. The floor rooms In the Holman building on East Washington street and Grand avenue have been re modeled. The new pavement on Grand avenue already has had the effect of brightening up that district. Its cost to the property-owners will come back to them many times over through the in creased renting value of their property. It is considered remarkable that the property-owners on Grand avenue south of Belmont street do not initiate a movement at once to continue hard-surface pavement on to Hawthorne avenue, or East Clay street, and bring that dis trict also into the business section, mak ing the property on either side of the avenue valuable for business purposes, which is now held back on account of the dilapidated wooden roadway doing duty south from Belmont street. The pavement on Union avenue resulted in filling up every vacant storeroom between East Burnside and Belmont streets. Be fore the street was Improved the build ings were practically all vacant and could not be rented. It is now a ques tion whether the most business is done on Grand or Union avenue. It is due, of course, to the constant pushing of the civic clubs that these streets have finally been well paved, and that business condi tions have steadily Improved. East Morrison street remains to be paved between Union avenue and the Morrison bridge with first-class material that will stand the great traffic that now pours over Morrison bridge. Now that the East Side Business Men's Club has successfully carried out its portion of the Rose Festival, it will take up this ques tion of paving East Morrison street through to the bridge. It has been as certained that there is nothing in the way of starting petitions for a perma nent pavement. Belgian blocks are talked of as the only pavement that can carry the traffic on that street. Many Prospective Buildings. The two two-story frame buildings on the southeast corner of Grand avenue and Belmont street have been moved away to make room for the modern three-story-brlck structure to be erected for M. ' Selling. These structures stood on that corner for more than 25 years. Plans for this brick building have been completed by Architect Otto Kleemann, and work will be started on the founda tion at once. The cost will be about $25,000. It will be an attractive building. Foundation for the Oliver Chilled Plow Company warehouse on East First and Alder streets is well advanced, and work on the walls will start shortly. It will cover 100x100 and will be modern. It will be the first building erected in the warehouse district this year, although Wallace & Devlin have had plans pre pared for a $45,000 building in that sec tion. Foundation for the building for Orient Lodge. I. O. O. F., on East Sixth and Alder streets, will be completed the coming week, when work will start on the walls. Cost of this building will be $25,000 outside of the furnishing. The big brick structure for the Yale Laun dry Company, on East Tenth, between East Morrison and Belmont streets, is be ing completed. -Cost of this building, with Its equipment, will be $100,000. It be ing the most important structure of the sort to be built on the East Side. It is 200x50 and three-stories. One of the larger building contracts Just let was that of the new church to be built on the corner of East Taylor, between East Forty-first and Forty-second streets, for St. Stephen's parish, at a cost of $15,000. St. Andrew's parish is building a $15,000 church and school at Highland. It will stand on the block bounded by East Eighth, Ninth, Spring field and Alberta streets and will be com pleted for dedication In the Fall. The Jesuit Fathers have had plans drawn for a church and school at Creston, to cost $15.0f. Plans have been prepared for a. parish bouse, to cost $12,000, to be built also at Creston. Work on the foundation for the Christian Brothers' College, at Grand avenue and, Wasco street, is progressing. This building will cost $30,000 and will be a most attractive structure. The Dominican Fathers are to erect a handsome stone church building on the block bounded by Union avenue, Wasco, East Third and Clackamas streets. Ten ino sandstone will be used in this struc ture. The cost has not been estimated, but it will likely be about $50,000. Work on Xew Schoolhouses. The Board of Education is pushing work on the new schoolhouses which have been started on -the East Side. At Peninsula, on the St. John line, the frame for the Six-room building is up and it will soon be inclosed. This structure will take the place of the old four-room building that has done service at that point for nearly 15 years.- Also good progress is being made on the eight-room schoolhouse urv der construction at East Forty-second and Habersham streets. This building will serve a growing territory In which there, were no school facilities short of Sunny slde. It will be completed in time for the opening of school in the Fall, as work was started early enough to enable this , to be done. At Sellwood a four-room annex will be built. This will be filled up in the Fall by the pupils that are now provided for in the assembly hall and by the extra portable room on the school ground. Erection of this addition will take up all the vacant space of the school grounds. FIGHTON HIS HANDS Mayor Lane Is Out After the Streetcar Company. REVOKE ITS FRANCHISES Committee Finds Certain Streets Over Which Company Holds Franchise, but on "Which Xo Tracks Are Laid. A big fight in the City Council is promised because of action taken by Mayor Lane's private committee of Councllmen Vaughn, Kellaher and Rushlight looking toward revocation of franchises on certain streets, now held by the Portland Railway, Light & East Sllsan; East Gllsan. from East Ninth to East Twentieth; Michigan, from- Klhingsworth to Skidmore; Dekum, from Williams to Skidmore; Fern, from Dekum to Helm; East Mor rison, from Grand to East Twelfth; Hood, from East Twenty-first to East Twenty-second; East Twenty-second, from Hood to Coquille; Coquille, from East Twenty-second to Francis; Fran cis, from Bryant to Tait; Grover. from Corbett to Kelly; Kelly, from Grover to Macadam; East Eighteenth, from East Stark to East Alder; East Alder, from East Eighteenth to East Twenty second; Halsey, from East Twenty first to East Twenty-second; Mary land, from Shaver to Albina; East Davis, from East Tenth to East Six teenth; East Sixtenth, from East Davis to East Irving; East Irving, from East Sixteenth to Sandy road. MAY INVOKE NEW RECALL Plan to Try It on Statement No. 1 V Legislators in Lane. EUGENE, Or., June 6. (Specials It may be that the first use of Ore gon's new recall law will be made in Lane County. There is a moyement on foot In one of the districts where there is great enthusiasm for the "new legislation" to use the recall on the Statement No. 1 members of the Leg islature from Lane County, Senator Bingham and Representative Eaton. The county has given Mr. Cake a good majority over Mr. Chamberlain for United States Senator, and the peo- t : irslt It&lf 'Yh , M s kk? At u 1 J v . , -;v i ., V 1 t J. B.

On the site secured in Albina Homestead work has been started, on the foundation for the new eight-room-school-house, which will relieve the Thompson and the Highland buildings. The. district Is kept busy meeting the rapid growth of the East Side with new school buildings. Mount Tabor will . no doubt come next year, as the West ave nue has served its day. It is old-fashioned, out of repair and In no way suited for school purposes. The Williams ave nue building will likely be replaced next year, whether the block on which it stands Is sold or not. This building can hardly be occupied much longer, as It is not considered safe. Even the plaster is falling off, and in a rainstorm almost every part of the room leaks. The block on- which it stands has become very valuable for business purposes, and it probably could be sold to good advan tage for businesshouses. The old school houses are of little value and will have to be torn down. At Arleta the district is erecting a four-room addition to the building that was completed last year. Machinery for Swift Plant Ordered. For the machinery for the Swift plant on the Peninsula 231 carloads have been ordered. It is announced that these cars will begin to arrive within the next 30 days and by that time the varjous switches will be completed, so this mass of machinery can be delivered where It is needed. , Much of this machinery is of the type that makes it necessary to be built in at the time the several, buildings are under construction. From this announcement it is supposed that construction will be started on the big buildings immediately on the arrival of the machinery. Fred W. Wagner is installing some new and original artistic tiling in his home at Lents. The building was erected accord ing to the plans supplied by Architect D. C. Lewis. Plans have been prepared for a $4500 dwelling for F. Holton, to be erected on Larabee street. Thomas Vigars is erect ing a handsome $3500 dwelling in the Ladd addition. Plans have been prepared for a manse for the University Park Metho dist church, to be built alongside the church. Power Company, but as yet unused by the corporation. The committee voted to seek an opinion from City Attorney Kavanaugh as to the authority of the Council to revoke all such franchises. Mayor Lane has a fight on against the streetcar company, which first manifested itself when he had his Ex ecutive Board cut down the bills of the corporation for city lighting. His pri vate committee is now carrying out another line of attack by endeavoring to take away the franchises on streets as yet unused by the company. Committee May Do Nothing. The Councllmen who comprise this committee are virtually powerless, as they are all minority members, and the committee is not recognized by the majority faction. It is therefore pre dicted by many that the trio will be unable to accomplish anything, unless the Council sees fit to refer the mat ter to the committee on judiciary, where all such things are said prop erly to belong. The idea outlined by the committee, which met yesterday, is co revoke the franchises n streets not used by the company, and to force the corporation to accept a new blanket franchise, with whatever Iron-clad provisions the Council may see fit to inject. Among other items to be put in, if the scheme succeeds, is to force the company to provide free transportation for Coun cllmen. Streets. Vnused by Company. The streets over which the company has franchises and on which it has laid no tracks, as reported by City Engineer Taylor, are as follows: Savler, from Thirteenth to Four teenth; Glisan, from Fourteenth to Nineteenth; Third, from Grant to Sheridan; Sheridan, from Second to Third: Porter, from First to Front; First, from Porter to Whitakc-r; Grant, from First to Front; East Couch, from East Twenty-ninth to East Thirtieth; East Harrison, from Grand avenue to East Twelfth: East Sherman, from East Seventh to EastTwelfth; Spring, from Twentieth to Twenty-second; Kern, from East Twenty-sixth to East Thirty-seventh; East Thirty-seventh, from Kern to Clinton; Chapman, from Morrison to Jefferson; East Twenty eighth, from Holladay to Weidler; East Davis, from Grand avenue to East Ninth; East Ninth, from East Davis to pie who are working on the matter say that the recall will enable the voters of the county to have their sentiments expressed in the selection of Senators and they are enthusiastic over the new power placed in their hands. At the same time that these Repub licans are at work on the recall, there is another class who will endeavor to have: Representatives Bean and Cal ,kins, who are pledged not to support Chamberlain, carry out the provisions of the compulsory Statement No. 1 act just passed by the people. There will probably be a meeting of the legislators from Lane soon to con sider the most recent legislation passed by the people. DREYFUS CASE IS DEAD Attempt to Kill Principal Figure Fuils to Revive It. PARIS. June C The excitement pro duced by the attempt to kill Major Al fred Dreyfus last Thursday at the Zola ceremonies In the Pantheon is rapidly subsiding. It is now apparent that the Clemenceau government doe not intend to play into the hands of the Nationalists by reviving the old Dreyfus Issue, and the Republican press generally is min imizing the importance of the outrage and ignoring the vaporings of the Na tionalist press. Mauras and Daudet, of L'Actlon Fran caise, evidently are disappointed that they were not hauled up to explain their statements In this journal that "a reso lute patriot" had visited them and of fered 'to kill Dreyfus, but that his pro posal was rejected. An editorial was published declaring that the cause of the King will soon overthrow the Drey fus republic. He defies the Government to prosecute him. The doctors have been unable to lo cate the ball in Major Dreyfus' arm. and say that possibly it may have been ejected by the muscles of the arm. Friends of Gregorls advance the theory that he used wax pellets Instead of bul lets. These produce an abrasion of the skin, but are otherwise harmless. Some newspapers today sa," that neither the revolver nor any cartridges were found after the shooting. r f T S t Jf V ' ' i - s - t ' - - ' x , ' - v- : -r;: i v ; " - ; - -?

KEHN, WHO WOJI FIRST PRIZE FOR BISST DECORATED PONY AND CART IN EAST SIDE PARADE. PORTLAND GIRL MARRIES STAGE MANAGER OF THEATRICAL TROUPE Miss Pearl Cook, Member of Chorus in "A Knight for a Day," Becomes Bride of Edward Beck, of Same Company. MISS PEARL, COOK, a well known Portland girl, and a member of the chorus of "A Knight for a Day" company, was married in Boston, Thursday, to Edward Beck, stage man ager of the troupe. The ceremony took place at noon and came a surprise to the other members of the company, with whom Miss Cook is very popu lar. Although the wedding came as a surprise to her friends, ..her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Cook, of 424 Third street," this city, were aware of the engagement of .their daughter to Mr. Beck, and were Informed of the time set for the ceremony by a telegram an hour before it took place. Since Miss Cook entered theatricals Cupid has had a designing eye on her future happiness, and came near unit ing her in the bliss of wedlock two years ago last December to Frank E. Kuebler, of the "Buster Brown" com pany, with which she was playing at the time. One of Mr. Kuebler's specific duties with the company was to carry Miss Cook around in a basket. It was during one of the performances, still early in her career, that their eyes met and they became engaged. Be ing carried in a basket soon lost its charm, however, and Cupid was com pelled to admit his first effort a fail ure. Not to be daunted the little God of Love tried again, and the year fol lowing brought the charming little chorus girl into the heart and mind of Mr. Beck, who was at that time stage manager of the "Maid and a Mummy" company, at Chicago. Miss Cook had left the "Buster Brown" company and was playing in the chorus of the company of which Ma Beck was stage manager. Later when Mr. Beck Joined "A Knight for a Day" company Miss Cook also made a change in the same direction. The friendship exist ing between the pair was recognized by the other members of the troupe, but not even her closest acquain tances were aware of the fact that they Intended to be married. Miss Cook has many friends in Portland. To the theater-goers she will be remembered for her praise worthy work in the chorus of the San Francisco Opera Company during its stay In this city a year ago. She paid a visit to her parents here hardly more than a month ago and confided to them that she was enprasred to be 4 y Hi w& 'iV i Mrs. Edward Beck. Formerly Miss j Peart Cook. married. It is the hope of Mr. Beck that he can so arrange his business affairs as to permit the newly married couple spending -the Summer in Portland.

Beaverton-Reedville Acreage "THE PASADENA OF OREGON" It is now a well-authenticated fact that the most satisfactory and remunerative farming is from small acreage, with a diversity of products, rather than the large area, with its attendant heavy outlay and dependence upon a single cereal, or but a few of the so-called staple crops. Our acreage 'combines all the requisites, and can be had at reasonable prices. No such offerings as these, either in location, rich ness of soil, improvements nor extensiveness of area, can be found elsewhere. We invite the closest in vestigation. S- THE SHAW-FEAR COMPANY 245 V2 Stark Street An Interview On a Most Important Subject to Man, An Every-Day Occurrence at Gland E x t r a ct Office, 708 Dekum Bldg. 1. What are Van Vleck Gland Ex tracts made from and for what purpose are they used? A. For the cure of diseases where there is a want in the system for the Identical substance they are extracted from the corresponding gland of a sheep. . 2. Why do you particularly take them from young sheep? A. They are the most healthy an imal we have. 3. Does the same gland substance cure all diseases? A. They do not by any mean or manner of means. Each organ of the body has lis own secretory Kin ml in the body. Each organ has to look out for Itself. Each gland secretes from the blood its own peculiar elements for that organ. 4. Are the glands in the body re lated to each other in any way? A. Yes, they are decidedly so. The glands go In trinity and their multi ples thereto. 5. What do you mean by trinity and their multiples? A. Glands work in trinity: for in stance, the thyroid, suprarenal capsule and pituitary body Is In trinity. The multiples are one or more of the other glands supplying their secretions to the trinity In question to enable the trinity to do certain kinds of work. There are many trinities; three in number, in the body, for instance: the digestion. We- have to digest sugars, starches and albumins. Another trin ity also in substances multiples there to consists of salivary glands to make digestion, assimilation and nutrition complete. S. Who is Van Vleck, the Animal Gland Extract man? A. He is the man who first diseov ered the active principal derived from the glands in the treatment of diseases. 7. Has this gland treatment been well tried and tested In treating dis eases, and in what diseases do they find them the most efficient? A. They were first used in the raw state, taken from sheep and fed to Mr. Van Vleck's son, who was dwarfed, stunted in both mind and body, due to the absence of the Thymus gland. All diseases which are due to the non secretion of the glands in your body ' are indicative to this treatment. For all diseases due to the lack of secre tion or an oversufficient or a perver sion of the same elements, therefore they cover all diseases. 8. How are those elements put up to dispense? A. They are all in tablet form, ex cept the Red Bone Marrow, which is in liquid form, put up in glycerine as a preservative. All are very easy to take; none is unpleasant to take. 9. Are they prescribed generally by the physicians? A. Not generally, but by progres sive, up-to-date investigators, who keep up with the medical worjd, espe cially the younger physician, who has recently graduated from the up-to-date medical colleges. All or nearly all get their best results from physiological elements which Is organic. The better colleges have chairs on glandular ex tracts now or internal secretions, wnlcn means glands. 10. Can you name certain diseases that the Gland Extracts are indicated? A. It would be right and proper for me to say all nervous and chronic dis eases, but for the sake of argument will stay close to home, Portland, and name over some of the diseases we have treated successfully and are walking advertisements for the gland extracts: They are goitre, stomach troubles, kidney diseases, poor circula tion of the blood, nerve and fat starva tion, constipation. The extracts take of excessive fat and put on fat sucr cessfully. Treat bone and gland tuber culosis and many lung cases said to be tuberculous, and nearly all dis eases peculiar to women yield to the extract treatment 11. How are you going to prove the above statements to be correct? A. By calling or writing to us at our office, 708 Dekum bldg., and get ting the names of those people and calling on them personally concerning statements made. If you are sick from any cause, come and see our physicians and get their opinion. It will cost you nothing to investigate and diagnose your case. If you cannot call at office, write us, and we will send you our scientific treatise and question blank to fill out. VAN VLECK GLAND EXTRACTS. 708 Pfkum Blrtar.
