ward to furnish car facilities.
Easy to Sell Property.
"It Is eaay to sell property along
Xllnngaworth avenue." declared Mrs. C.
I. Oossett, who has been handling
considerable real estate In that portion
of the city. Mrs, Gossett can point to a
cumber of lots and quarter blocks
which have been sold three and four
times within the past three years. Lots
that cost $300 and $500 were recently
old up to $1000 and $1200, and quarter
blocks that were sold two years ago
for $1000 are selling now for $1500 and
$2000. At present, especially along the
XUHngsworth avenue, little property
Is for sale and what there is Is held
very high. This is a remarkably fine
district and is being built up with neat
homes at a rapid rate. Of course, the
most pretentious are on Killlngworth
avenue, and one or two blocks each
way. but the building area Is steadily
moving northward toward the Colum
bia Slough. Opening of the Swinton
tract to the northward will provide
further facilities to expand In that di
rection. Some of the streets have been
improved northward from ' Killings
worth avenue, and others are projected.
The residents are making a strong pull
for fire protection for this section, and
a committee has been appointed to look
after the matter. The sum of $27,000
has been recommended to be appro
priated to purchase grounds, erect a
f) rehouse and install an engine In North
Alblna.
Want Depots on the IVninsula.
The Maegly Junction Push Club is
doing good work for that part of the
Peninsula, and has Initiated Improve
ments on several streets. It Is pulling
hard for passenger and freight depots
on the North Bank Road and the O. It.
A N. lines for the accommodation of
that factory district. Assurances have
been given that such depots will be
provided, as. of course, they must be if
the eutput from that district Is to be
takes cars of. Portsmouth, avenue Is
now being raded from Columbia
to- Willamette boulevard, which means
an- 80-foot street across the Peninsula.
Part of Portsmouth avenue was only 40
feet wide, but It has now been made 80
feet to Columbia boulevard. Water
mains" have been laid on Van Houten
street to Columbia boulevard.
St. John, which Is building a public
dock, wants the O. R. & N. Company to
establish a depot near the water front,
and fears are expressed that if the two
railways, the North Bank and the O. R.
N.. establish stations at Maegly
Junction, It might result In cutting the
town off: but this is radlly probable,
as the Troutdale line of the O. R. &
N. Company will pass around and
through the factory section of St- John.
R. G. Brand, president of the Maeg
ly Junction Improvement Club, said
this week that the main North Bank
Railroad depot would be at Maegly
Junction for the Lower Peninsula,
which is about one mile and a half
from St. John, not further than most
shippers In Portland have to go to
reach the freight depot In Portland.
He also contends that the O. R- & N.
depot will be placed probably at Mc
Kenr.a Junction. Owing to the differ
ence in height of the North Bank and
the O. R. & N. lines a Joint depot would
not be practicable. Both lines undoubt
edly will provide depot facilities for
this factory and resldenca portion of
the Peninsula,
Remarkable Suburban Growth.
A large number of small sales were
made last week In the suburbs, rang
ing from $250 to $3000. Along the
Mount Scott railway, as far as Syca
more, these sales were notable. At
Kern Park a $2500 sale was made,
Mrs. C. A. Mudge buying a quarter
block. At Kern Park a two-story
frame building Is being completed at
a cost of $10,000. It is one of the larg
est structures of the sort in the dis
trict. The Woodmen of the World
camp has Just completed and occupied
Its hall near Kern Park. It was erect
ed at a cost of $2600. W. E. Spiser has
completed a one-story concrete build
ing on Powell Valley road at a cost of
$3000. It replaces the frame building
destroyed by fire a short time ago.
At Lents considerable work has been
done on the two-story concrete build
ing for Lents Grange, near the school
house. This building will cost $5000.
A lot, 100x180. was recently purchased
for this building.
Remarkable Improvement is found
east ,of Lents for four miles. A dis
trict that two years ago was covered
with brush and logs now has been
largely cleared and occupied with su
burban homes. Here clearing of new
land goes on every day in the year. A
new schoolhouse and ehurch have been
erected and about 50 new dwellings
have been built the past year. The sta-

showed the members that Portland is
being rapidly extended in that direc
tion. It is estimated that fully 15.000
people now live In the southeast, trib
utary to the Mount Scott railway.
Acreage Tract Sold.
A four-acre tract at Risley. Just south
of Oak Grove, on the Oregon City line,
occupied with a modern bungalow, was
sold last week to Alfred Allen, for
$5000. At Oak Grove a number of sales
have been made recently and the peo
ple are moving in the mattsr of im
proved streets.
A handsome new church building is
being completed by the North Albina
United Evangelical Church, on Wil
lamette boulevard. It will cost, when
completed, about $4000 and It will be
dedicated some time In November. Rev.
J. Bowersox Is the pastor.
Cottage Bnllt in One Day.
The building of a five-room cottage
with a- basement, the dwelling painted,
plastered and ready for occupancy, in
less than 13 hours. Is the accomplish
ment of W. C. Carl, a contractor at
East St. Louis. 111., says the American
Contractor. Carl boasted It was an
easy matter to build a modern cottage
In one day and he finished 30 minutes
ahead of his schedule.
Before 7 o'clock In the morning the
site of the house was a vacant lot
of the common weed-grown, tin-can-strewn
variety, with no hint of the
change to be made in evidence. In an
hour and a half the foundations were
complete, stone and brick, the latter
for chimneys, were unloaded quickly
while a basement excavation was be
ing shoveled out. Meanwhile the car
penters were getting the floor timbers
and Joists cut up. The flooring took up
an hour and three hours' work brought
the house to the ground-floor level.
The masons during this time ran up
the chimneys and the Interior wall
studding went merrily up. By noon
the roof was well under way, the frame
work for wall and ceilings, completed
and ready for lathers plasterers,
plumbers, gasfitters and electricians.
The cottage has in addition to Its five
rooms a modern bathroom. The house
cost $2000.
Love joy Corner Brings $0,000.
Among sales reported last week by
Charles K. Henry & Son was the 50x100
lot at the northwest corner of Fif
teenth and Lovejoy, on which are erect
ed two flats and two dwellings, at a
consideration of about $20,000. J. W.
Aldrich Is the former owner and the
sale was made to Louis M. Schwartz.
The same firm sold to Mrs. Hattie J.
Webster the northwest corner of East
Tenth and Hancock streets, 100x100,
for $3000. The former owner Is W. E.
Robertson and the purchase was made
as an investment. This corner is in
Holladay Addition, a locality rapidly
building up with high-class residences.
Renew Bridge Agitation.
There is to be a renewal of agitation
for a bridge for the Northern district,
from the foot of Hancock street on the
East Side. A report on this bridge from
Ralph ModJeekdT will be submitted some
time this month, when there will be some
thing to work on. M. O. Munly, who led

An appeal for assistance In stopping
ths rapid spread of typhoid fever, which
Is assuming the magnitude of an epi
demic in the southern section of the
city, was sent yesterday to 600 clergy
men, doctors, druggists and citizens by

to the clergy direct, to speak before their
respective congregations on Sunday for

ing them to take elementary precaution.
With such ssslstance it is believed the
disease can be prevented from spreading.

The Beechley was on the dock S3
days and the contract price for' re
pairs was $24,800. The work was se
cured in direct competition with all
Puget Sound firms, the next lowest
bid for which was 139,000. Difference
in bids was due to drydock charges
alone. By sending: the veel to Port
land the owners saved aiproximately
14.000. The Portland dock was se
cured for a flat rate of 4200 a day,
while on the Bound the minimum
charge would be J5B0 a day. In Port
land the contractors were permitted
to work 24 hours if they deiUred, while
Sound docks placed a tenhour limit
and made the contractors board the
men.
Practically all the subwoJc on the

SAN FRANCISCO MARIJTE SEWS
Freights Remain Inactive and' Many
Vessels Are Still Tied Up.,
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17. (Special.)
The week has shown no apparent ac
tivity in the marine line. Charters
have been very few, and those at a
low figure. Each day more vesaels are
being added to the list of disengaged.
All the freshwater inlets and Oakland
Estuary are filled with idle craft of
every size and description.
Two important charters have been
those of the schooners O. M. Kllogg
and G. W. Watson, both for Tahiti.
The former has already loaded 825,000
feet of lumber and general merchan
dise, while the former has sal lad for
Grays Harbor to load a full camoo of
lumber for the South Seas. .
The bark British Yeoman, which ar
rived here from Australia some months
ago and which has been the victim of
much trouble ever since, has been sold
at public auction to Captain Eschen.
Soon after her arrival from the Antip
odes nearly every member of the
crew libeled the craft This was not
all, for one windy night, while at
anchor in Mission Bay, the anchors of
the Yeoman would not hold and, with
wind and tide, she was carried with
great force against the British ship
Drumtne. The British Yeoman suffered
seriously and to satisfy all claims the
vessel was sold at auction. Since then,
it has been chartered to load a return,
cargo for Australia.
The large six-masted barkentlne
Everett G. Griggs, lately arrived f rom, 1
Australia with coal, has been chartered
to load grain at this port for Eureka.
The bark Lord Templeton left on
Saturday morning In tow of the pow
erful tug Hercules. It is bound for
Tacoma, where it loads for Australia.
Work on the Pomona, which ran
ashore some months ago at Fort Rosa,
about 70 miles above San Francisco,
is still progressing. The ship is being
raised by air bags. Success seems pos
sible. The tug Relief is in waiting to
tow the Pomona to port if the attempt
is successful.
The bark Star of France, Captain
Sparr, returned last Saturday from the
Alaskan canneries. The France had
Just left Alaska when the storm which

cargo constituted 61,000 cases of
canned salmon. After discharging its
cargo this vessel will loin its sister
vessels in Oakland Creek.
The Standard Oil Company's tanker
Tonawanda arrived this week from

INDICT HAINS BROTHERS
New York Men Charged With First
- Degree Murder.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17 Indictments
charging Captain Peter C Hains, Jr..
and T. Jenkins Hains with murder in
the first degree were handed up by
the Queens County grand Jury at Flush
ing, L. L, today. The indictments were
based upon the killing of William E.
Annis at the Bayside Yacht Club in Au-
gust last.
Although T. Jenkins Hains had been
held as an accessory to the murder,
the indictment charges him as well as
his brother with being a principal. Wit
nesses testified that T. Jenkins Hains
by the display of a revolver prevented
the spectators from interfering while
Peter C. Hains, Jr., fired Beveral bullets
Into the body of the victim. It has not
been charged that T. Jenkins Hains
fired any of the shots that killed Annls.
The District Attorney notified the
court that he would arraign the Hains
brothers next Tuesday and would ask
that their trial be set for November 9.
The witnesses who testified before the
grand jury did not include either Mrs.
Annis or Mrs. Hains, the wife of Captain
Hains. The attitude of Mrs. Hains in
the trial has been the subject of much
speculation.
Captain P. C. Hains. Jr., of the United
States Army, stationed at Fort Hancock,
Sandy Hook, appeared with his brother,
T. Jenkins Hains, on the float of the Bay
side Yacht Club at Flushing, L. I., on
the afternoon of August 13. As William
B. Annis, who was on board his yacht,
approached the float. Captain Hains
opened fire on him. Inflicting wounds from,
which he died within a very short time.
T. Jenkins Hains kept the spectators
from interfering. Captain Hains de
clared after the shooting that Annis had
robbed him of his wife, and that Mrs.
Laurier Makes Last Fight.
