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.

MAY INVOKE NEW RECALL

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-

leaving practically no room for the pupils,
and by another year another building
will be needed in the south side of Sell
wood. 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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
