A. L. Hawley. pre fcident of the Trustee
Securities Company 1 of New York, and
Judge W. D. Wood, fof Seattle, the found
ers of the trustee companies, who have
been at the Portlai id Hotel for the past
few days, have bee f looking Into matters
connected with their interests in this city.
Mr. Hawley said fcist night that while It
was the original bitentlon of the com
pany to begin ope rations on the building
for Olds. Wortma n & King soon after
the lease with thnrm was effected, the
financial depression in the East made it
inadvisable to undertake the building un
til "the atmospl tare cleared." He said
that at present Eastern capitalists are
again regarding t he Pacific Coast as offer
ing the very ' M"st opportunities for
profitable and s. Ife Investments, and in
discussing the plans of his company,
made this stater ent:
Development of Portland.
"Portland is l fiaking a splendid show
ing among the cities of the Pacific Coast.
It Is very lnt resting to see how her
conservative am I substantial development
of the past, to uether with the Splendid
producing court Jry In her immediate ter
ritory. Rive hM? a position of noticeable
advantage over; the other cities on the
Coast, in the . matter of revival of busi
ness. Not to . ipeak disparagingly of Los
Angeles or Se sttle. for these cities are
also showing rigorous business develop
ment, it is. 'Aowever. a noticeable fact
to me. that Portland has not only re
pained substrtntlal footing, but is well
along the roa Q to prosperous conditions.
"I have been spending the past two
and a half m mths in Los Angeles, where
we are Just, c ompletlng a ten-story office
building, anri Jiave been for the past week
in Seattle lrijktng over the field, and
giving attet ttlon to the construction of
our large Ight-story, fire-proof office
building the re. On coming to Portland
three or four days ago. I was pleased
and encouraged to find such a favorable
and substantial condition and progress
In the busii ess way. There are. I be
lieve, fewer "for rent" signs In Portland
than in anjf city on the Pacific Coast,
and this. yo'S know, is a very critical test
of the gentral conditions of a city.
J&irerest in East.
"Our Neri York office reports renewed
interest In cities of the Pacific Coast,
and as evl tence of this, I am pleased to
say that 1 h the past 60 days we have
made subs tazitlal sales of Spokane. Los
Angeles aiid Seattle securities in New
York, and the money has been forwarded
to the Paflflc Coast. After all, this is
the real t Sst of the appreciation of our
cities by tie Eastern Investor. When he
lets us br'Jng his money out here, to in
vest In business property In our Pacific
Coast cltkts. we cannot question this kind
of an -expt Mslon of returned confidence.
"My twf days' visit in Portland has
been to frt-ally approve the working plan
for the bl.ilding we are to erect on the
Pennoyer J block, 'to be occupied by Olds,
Wortman I King, and to determine when
we are tof begin the work. The plans are
all apprch-ed. and I am going East in
September to let the steel contract. It
will takir from five to six months for
fabrication . and transportation of the
steel, so i!hat this will begin to arrive in
April of next year. We will excavate
and put fin the foundation, beginning In
February!, so as to be ready to erect the
steel, place the concrete work and fully
Inclose the bulldln? during the dry Sum
mer months in 1909. our plan being to
complete the building by February. 1910.
We will complete our Los Angeles build
ing by October, this year, and our Seattle
building by January 1 next. This will
enable us to send to Portland our con
struction force.
Millions in Building.
"We do not let contracts for construc
tion work for the good reason that we
have our own architectural and construc
tion department and do all of the work
ourselves. The allied Trustee Companies
have in the past four years developed
about $6,225,000 worth of business prop
erty in Seattle, Spokane and Los An
geles, which is probably as much, if not
more, than any two concerns on the Pa
cific Coast have handled in the same time.
We have a working capital of 11.400,000,
which is now being- coed in construction
of the Los Angeles and Seattle proper
ties, to be completed this year. Our next
work will be the Portland buildings, the
one on the Pennoyer block to be erected
first.
"Portland business property is today
cheaper than similarly situated property
In Seattle, Spokane or Los Angeles, and
we look upon It as one of the very best
fields for investment on the Pacific Coast.
In dividing our attention, diverting our
enengles and our money to the develop
ment of properties in your city, we back
our Judgment: for we certainly would
not take up the subject of investing In
Portland if we did not look upon It as an
advantageous investment field.""
Mr. Hawley left for Spokane last night.

MRS. J. B. HARRIS IS DEAD
Oregon Pioneer Passes Away at
Home on East Side.
Mrs. J. B. Harrls. an Oregon pioneer,
died yesterday at her home, 635 East
Morrison street, aged 64 years. The
cause of death was paralysis, she hav
ing suffered two strokes last June.
Mrs. Harris was born In Missouri
and crossed the plains with her par
ents when 9 years old, settling on a
donation land claim three miles south
west of Eugene. In 1863 she was mar
ried to J. B. Harris, of Harrisburg,
Linn County, and lived on a farm there
for 20 years, when the couple moved to
Eugene, spending 18 years there and
then moving to Portland in 1901.

Kelly Kinds Catcher.
Joe Stutt recently received a letter
from "Father" Tom Kelly, the veteran
balltosser, wno Is now numbered
among the players of the speedy little
four-team Coos Bay League. Kelly is
with Marshfield. and writes that there
are a number of splendid young play
ers now cavorting around the diamond
in that league. He especially recom
mends Peralta, a husky young catcher,
who, Kelly thinks. Is capable of mak
ing good In faster company. Tom also
states that Young Thiele, the pitcher
who was with Los Angeles for a min
ute or two this season. Is worthy of a
trial in the Pacific Coast League.
Mrs. W. L. Whltmore. of Portland, and
Mrs. Geary Young, of Oakland, Or., have
returned to this city after a two weeks'
visit to Alaska.

Sues for Last of Shipment.
W. N. Daniels, on behalf of the La
Grande Creamery Company, sued the
Northern Pacific Railway Company, In
the Circuit Court yesterday, to recover
$1136.99 damages because of careless
ness In the shipment of butter and
poultry. It Is alleged that the company
accepted 37 boxeB of frozen poultry and
330 boxes of butter for shipment to the
local creamery from Concordia, Kansas.
The butter and poultry was thoroughly
Iced before being shipped, but was not
Iced en route. The poultry was not
even fit for restaurant use when it ar
rived, while the butter was little better,
having been flavored by the odors of
decaying poultry. So Daniels wants the
value of the shipment.

many months ago. He is yet missing.
Brown is a San Francisco newspaper

Is now a grass widow.

say project and alpo to consider the
question of forming a corporation of

ing a corporation and getting a watet
supply through a municipality, this
movement was rejected by a large

MAKES'
A LASTING CURE
There are certain mineral -medicines which will remove the external
symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison, and shut the disease tip in tha
system for awhile, but when the treatment is' left off the disease will surely
return. Then the loathsome symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat,
copper-colored spots, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc., are usually worse
because the disease has made rapid progress on the internal members, and
weakened the constitution and general health of the sufferer. S. S. S. is
the only remedy that can be used with perfect safety in the treatment of
Contagious Blood Poison, and with the assurance that a lasting cure will
result. This medicine, made entirely of roots and herbs of recognized
curative and tonic value,' antidotes and destroys the powerful virus of the
disease, and by purifying the blood of every particle of the poison and
enriching and strengthening the circulation, removes every sypmptom of
the trouble. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up the disease in any way, but
drives it entirely out from the blood, leaving not the slightest trace for
future outbreaks. Home treatment book with valuable information and
any medical advice desired sent free to all who write.
