THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. yOVEMBER 1, 19Q8. PIGKS UP BABGA1FJ OH THE EAST SIDE R. D. Inman Buys Quarter block' at Union Avenue and East Couch. TWO LOTS BRING $18,500 Growth Apparent In Southeastern Suburban District, That Is to Vole on Annexation at ' Election on Tuesday. The most Important sale of realty on the East Side tha past week was that of a quarter block, at the southwest corner of Union avenue and East Couch street, lota 7 and 8. In block 76. George W. Bimon sold the property to Robert D. Inman for $18,500. This quarter Is vacant property and Is within one block of East Furnslde street. It la figured, that Mr. Inman has secured a bargain, consider ing the price paid by J. C. Ainsworth for a quarter block on East Ankeny street and Grand avenue. Property on Union avenue Is now re garded as choice, owing to the com pletion of the steel bridge across Sul livan's Gulch and the prospective pav ing between Holladay avenue and Alberta street with hard-surface Improvement, to cost 1156.000. These two Improve ments have already added to the Im portance of Union avenue as a thorough fare. It has become largely a business street north from Russell street, a -number of business buildings having been erected and others started. Several other good sales were made during the week. Alice. F. Whitrteid bought a house and lot In Holladay Ad dition for 5500. In Bunnyslde. I. I Rich purchased a houae and lot for $4200 and II. II. Spaulding bought a quarter block In the Patton tract for $4000. Gen erally, however. Investors are waiting until after the election of next Tuesday before making decision. Remarkable Suburban Growth. The territory to the southeast, which, will be voted into the city next Tuesday, or kept out. as the case may be. is a growing district. Only a portion of tha settled section Is affected by this an nexation movement sections 7 and 8, 17 and 18. and a small fraction more. Including all of South Mount Tabor. The old county road at Gray's Crossing is the dividing line east. But there is a well-settled section beyond, at Lents, where the school has over S00 pupils. South as far as Johnson Creek there Is a remarkable growth that is not seen from tha electric carllne. There are good-sized bouses and cottages erected south to the Gresham electric line, and the whole country la laid out In lota which are selling rapidly. Five years ago. or less, not a houae was to be seen In this section: now there are houses on almost every acre. A large greenhouse stands near tha road that extends south from Nashville, on the Mount Scott rail way. The county has Improved trfls road with crushed rock so that few streets In Portland compare favorably with It. Some Idea of the growth of this section may be gathered by going there evenings and watching the people mov ing about. There Is a stream of people for a mile south of the Mount Scott rail way going to and returning from tha sta tion. The county has Improved Millard ave nue with crushed rock and rolled It Into a compact surface, ao that It resembles hard-surface pavement In smoothness. Most of this territory south of Nashville Is not Included in the annexation move ment, but it is settling up with the same class of home-builders that occupy the district Included in the annexation move ment. It is 'predicted that Inside of two vears the district north of Johnson Creek to the Foster road will contain over 20. 000 residents If the present rate of growth Is maintained. It Is a beautiful residence district, high and sightly. The main problem Is that of a water supply, which must be solved In some way. The district affords great advan tages for those who seek homes on easy terms. The splendid roads the county Is building with crushed rock adds Im mensely to the value of this section. The Foster road, which extends through the heart of the district, carries a great traffic and yet It wears well. The county Is building tine roads all through the southeastern section. The supposition that Portland grows only toward the Co lumbia River Is not correct, as msy be seen In this great district of the south east. ' Building Attractive Homes. In Walnut Park. Vernon and Pied mont district a great number of at tractive dwellings are being built. Charles F. Overbaugh has Just pur chased a lot at tha corner of Van couver avenue and Holman street, 100x100. from the Investment Com pany, and will probably build. C H. Cable, of Brownsville, has purchased a site for a home on the corner of Commercial atreet and Rodney avenue, on which he will put up a dwelling in tha Spring. M. G. Nease Is putting up an JS00O dwelling on Union avenue near Holman street. The site Is 100 X15 and It will be one of the finest residences north of Russell street, S. B. Coulter Is having; a $3000 home built on Height avenue. 6. M. Law rence Is erecting two dwellings on a quarter block on Pearl street and Gar field avenue. C F. Smith, of Aberdeen. S. IX. has purchased a quarter block In Pied mont and will put up a $3500 house In the Spring. A dwelling of -cement blocks for A. Rothschild on Halght and Pearl streets Is being erected. For J. R.

A dormitory is needed and will bs erected as soon as it can be done. GUESTS REMOVE SHOES O. M. CXARK WRITES OF JAP ANESE ENTERTAINMENT. Member or Commission From Chambers of Commerce Tells of Functions Arranged by Hosts. "At the Japanese dinners and some o the receptions both ladles and gen tlemen will be required to remove their shoes before entering the houae, and will be served while sitting: on the floor, as no chairs or tables are Includ ed In the furnishing of a Japanese home." In a letter to a friend O. M. Clark, of Portland, a member of the Oriental Commission, representing the Chambers of Commerce of the Paclfia Coast, telle of his Introduction to Japanese so ciety. Mr. Clark arrived In Tokohama on October 12, and had been only a short time In the city, when he wrote the letter. In which he gives an Insight of the Japanese desire to encourage friendly relations with America. The programme for the entertain-, ment of the commission In Japan was handed to Mr. Clark by Mr. Kolka, Japanese Consul-General at Honolulu. It showed that every attention would be given. tTie visitors In Japan. They would be taken through Tokio and given a Japanese dinner. They would be shown through the Mitsukoshl de partment store, and would be tendered a luncheon by Count Kounna, Minister of Forelsn Affairs. Baron Shlbusawa would give them a garden party, and the Ministry for Commerce and Agri culture proposed a visit to Nlkko with a stop over night. Other events were a dinner party by the Governor of Kanajnwa, garden parties and recep tions by Boron Iwaski, by S. Assano, Admiral Togo, Marquis Katsuma and by the Japanese bankers at Toklo, and excurelona to Euoshlma, Kamakma and Hakone. Speaking of the trip from the .time the commission left San Francisco on September 26. Mr. Clark says that at Honolulu the freedom of the city was tendered to the visitors. They were taken out to Pearl Harbor, where the Government Is spending millions of dol lars In erecting fortifications. Some of the passengers stayed out over night, but most returned to the city. Leaving .Honolulu for Japan, the travelers found the o-ean very smooth. But all was not pleasant on the ship. "In the stebrage." writes Mr. Clark, "things have not been so pleasant, as two deaths have occurred and one man has gone Insane. One of these men left a wife and child and a purse of $170 waa raised for them among; the pas sengers." STATE SHOWNJY SYMBOLS Beautiful Artistic Decoration for Wisconsin Capitol. NEW YORK, Oct. ZL The nearly com pleted decoration for the assembly-room of the Wisconsin State Capitol, painted by Edwin A. Blashlleld. has been placed on exhibition In New York and Is at tracting much attention. Jt -will remain on exhibition for only a few days. The decoration symbolizes the past, present and future of the state, and contains three groups of fig ures, set In a handsome grove of pine trees. The figure, typifying Wisconsin, Is seated on a rock In the center of the composition, surrounded by other fig ures, which represent Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, the Mississippi River, a number of the early explorers of the Northwest and one of the Jesuit Fath ers who first worked among the In diana. The figure of Wisconsin Is in almost full light; the others are In par tial or complete, shadow. In tha tight hand corner Is a "color guard" of one of the Wisconsin regiments .ln the CtvlV War, and a couple of Indians covering their eyes from the light of advancing civilisation. This group symbolizes the past of Wisconsin, from the earliest times until the middle years of the last century. Directly in front of the cen tral figures stands "The Present," pointing toward the dim white build ings of the Capitol, seen in the distance and a group of lumbermen, miners and farmers, on whom the prosperity of the state now depends. At the extreme left stands the figure of "The Future," guarding her lamp and by her side a figure typical of the "Conservation of Force." whose gesture Indicates her wish to preserve tha great trees- of the forest.

In an affidavit filed today by attorneys repre senting his three stepdaughters, who are contesting for a portion of their deceased mother's estate, tha Integrity of District Attorney C. C. Bullock, of San Mateo, Is attacked upon an alle gation of bribery that promises a sen sational Investigation.

TROOPS FIRE ON REBELS a Turkish Mutineers Quickly Subdued by Single "Volley. CONSTANTINOPLE Oct SI. A threat ened outbreak on the part of a company of Turkish troops attached to the garri son at the Ylldiz Kiosk was promptly put down this morning with a single volley from a loyal battalion. Three of the mutineers were killed or wounded. The murderous spirit manifested itself when the company was assembled, which threatened for a few moments to result in serious trouble. Hurry orders were is sued and a battalion from a regiment re cently brought In from Salonlca was marched to the scene and one volley sufficed to cow the mutineers. The rebellious troops were under orders to leave for the provinces, but they re fused to depart, withdrew to a field near the barracks and defied their officers. The battalion from Salonlca which was drafted Into the capital especially be cause the men, who are stanch support ers of the constitution, was ordered to attack the rebels. They fired one volley. with the result above set forth, after which the mutineers ' surrendered and were made prisoners. Later they were drawn up on the public square, tied to gether and -exhibited to the assembled troops as rels who had broken their military oath. This prompt suppression Is expected td have a salutary effect on the remainder of the Ylldiz Kiosk garri son, which Is suspected of being antag onistic to the constitution. Will Try to Fly Slowly.
