Story Structure for Sixth and
, Burnside and Falling Es
tate?WHl Build.
The northwest comer of Third and
"Washington streets Is to be Improved
with a modern office building of the sky
scraper type In "the near future.
This valuable corner is owned by the
Ladd estate and while no verification
from W. M. Ladd could be obtained last
night of the intention of the company to
erect the building, It was learned from
the tenants that notice had been served
to vacate by May 1. The corner is now
Occupied by a two-story brick building,
known as the" Canterbury block. The
report; was to the efCect that the new
structure la to occupy the entire 100x100
feet, at least 10 stories high, and on ac
count of the wealth of the owners it is
reasonable to- surmise that the structure
will be of the finest class.
Details Not Vet Heady.
The corner store Is occupied by. A. &
C. Keldenhoimer, who have had the loca
tion since the building was completed in
the early 90s.
No particulars were obtainable last
night as to the type of building In
tended, and these probably will not be
announced until the architect s plans
have been presented and accepted by
the estate, but in all probability the
building will be a steel-frame, class A
structure. The 'corner Is such a valu
able piece of property it is unlikely
the owners would consider anything
but a strictly modern, up-to-date struc
ture.: ' ...
Another large building to be erected
soon is that of Arata Bros., which Is to
be built at the southeast corner of
Sixth ahd Burnside. This building Is
to be class A In construction in every
particular- It is to occupy 55x100 feet
on ground the Aratas have owned for
about four years. Leases of tenants
now . occupying stores on the corner
will not expire for several months, and
when they expire It Is the Intention to
begin the erection of the new building.
In any event, S. Arata said yesterday
work of construction will start In not
over 12 months from now.
Contracts Let Next Summer.
Mr. Arata added that contracts
would bo made during the Summer for
11 building material, including steel
for the frame, and would be assembled
In Portland so that when the work of
construction begins everything will be
In readiness to rush the work to com
pletion. Mr. Arata says that when
once started he intends to have the
work pushed along night and day. and
fully expects to make a record In rapid
buiiding.
The height of the new building has
not been yet decided upon, the owner
saying that it is to be either 12 or 14
stories. The exterior walls are to be
white terra cotta,
"This new building is to be erected
with our own money and not by a syn
dicate," said Mr. Arata last night.
Emil Schacht & Son are preparing
the plai.s for the new building and
expect to have them completed before
a great while..
From an authoritative source It was
learned yesterday that the Failing
building at the southeast corner of
Third and Washington is to be replaced
with a skyscraper, but Just when the
Improvement Is to be made has not been
determined. Leases are understood to
run for two or three years to come, but
these may be adjusted amicably in case
the estate decides to begin construction
before they expire.

W
HAT on earth do the ladies
do with all the money they
make at the Exchange?"
Ingenuously enough, the above ques
tion was asked, according to Miss Henri
etta Falling, chairman of the Woman's
Exchange committee, by a patron of the
organization.
"And that' is why." said Miss Failing,
"1 am always glad of an opportunity to
explain the real purposes and work of our
hard-working, hard -thinking little club
of women who are striving with might
and main to help their discouraged sis
ter . to help themselves. Especially at
this time, when the Portland Woman's
Exchange has bee"n named as one of the
beneficiary organizations for which e.
fund Is to be raised at the approaching
Kirmess. I feel that the general public
should know, a. little more about our work
and 'what it is accomplishing. I am a
little afraid that, among those who have
given little thought to the matter, there
Ms an impression that the Woman's Ex
change is In business to make money.
Just think of It!"
The energetic little philanthropist, who
hs for four years given much thought
and. during the greater part of the period,
several hours of her time every day, to
the affairs of the organization of which
she had spoken, reached deep into a
cavernous bag of soft leather and drew
forth a bulging packet of reports. By
means of these she made' the financial
machinery of the Exchange as an open
book to the Interviewer,
i "You see it is this -way." she said, or
dering a social pot of tea. and launching
inio the subject dearest to her heart.
"Many women want to earn money. They
are unfitted, perhaps, by education and
training to go out into the world and bat
tle with it for a livelihood. In a great
many cases, too, they are handicapped
by s family perhaps little children, or
an invalid relative so that it is impos
sible for them to go out into the midst
of the industrial whirlpool. It is this class
of women that the Woman's Exchange
desires most to help, although one of its
strongest sentiments Is for more home
work for all women who must toll, the
kind of homo work which -will permit the
woman to have a real home and keep it
together. Many of these women who
cannot go out into, the industrial fields.

Lewis c. Thompson, one of the heirs
of the late R. R- Thompson and a mem
ber of the Thompson pstate Company, of
San Francisco, was In Portland yester
day on his way from visiting his ranch
of 2300 acres at Carlton in Yamhill
County. He attended to some business
at the ranch connected with a right of
way of a road through his farm. Mr.
Thompson had not been In Portland for
several years and expressed himself as
much impressed with the growth of the
city and the high character of the build
ings erected In the business districts.
When asked concerning Improvements
to be made on the valuable block, at
Third and Pine, and other land in the
vicinity, he said that he had talked over
plans with C K. Henry, the Oregon rep
resentative of the company, but. that
nothing definite had been decided upon
further than that the property is to be
built upon with high-class buildings in
the near future. He said that in com
pany with Mr. Henry he had examined
the different pieces owned by the com
pany and is convinced that the neighbor
hood is ripe for the class of Improve

this Is necessary if we are to keep the

PHONE SERVICE IS
CUT OFF BY FIRE
Pacific Lines on West Side
Will Be Disabled Until
Tuesday Morning.
REPAIR WORK IS RUSHED
Flames Damage Central Switchboard
So Badly That 14,000 Subscrib
ers Are Affected and Tfew
Cable, 9 Made Necessary.
Fire burned a big hole in the labyrinth
or wires leading into the main switch
board of the Pacific Telephone Company
early yesterday morning and the whole
West Side was cut off from telephone
communication. About 14,000 telephones
were affected and It was announced last
night by Manager Hickman that it will
require until Tuesday morning to restore
the service to normal.
Rush repair work Is being conducted at
the headquarters building. West Park
and Alder streets. Three shifts of elec
tricians are working day and night to
connect new cables. Such progress had
been made last night that trunks were
cut through between the main office and
the East Side central office, and by this
morning it Is hoped to have 1600 tele
phones throughout the West Side district
restored to service.
Partial Service by Tomorrow.
Manager Hickman expects by tomorrow
morning to have 76 per cent of the tele
phones put out of service by the fire In
commission again, and by Tuesday morn,
ing he expects to have all the telephones
working. A few loose ends may still
remain to be connected up, but he hopes
to have things so well along by Tues
day that the public will not be Incon
venienced longer.
Never during the more than a quarter
of a century that the Pacific Telephone
Company has been operating in Port
land has there been such a demoralization
of service. During the sliver thaw of
190?, the company suffered heavily
tout instruments put out of com
mission by the wrecking of lines were
almost wholly confined to the East Side,
where sleet damage was greatest. The
business district, and In fact almost the
entire West Side Were free from extensive
trouble.
Property loss at the telephone building
is not heavy. Just how extensive this
has been has not yet been figured. This
loss Is covered by fire insurance. Toll
telephones will, of course, show smaU
earnings during the three days the com
pany is restoring the service, and long
distance calls will be lessened also. How
ever, the greatest loss resulting from the
accident is to subscribers who are cut
off from tho ordinary telephone communi
cation, and this means lost bust npsa In
I many instances.
Origin of Fire Unknown.
How yesterday morning's fire started
Is a mystery. Telephone officials do not
understand what caused the blaze
About 4:50 A. M. the fire was noticed
and electricians at the headquarters
buildirug tried to put it out with fire
extinguishers at hand. Failing in this
a call was sent to police headquarters
and a chemical engine responded. The
mass of wires and Insulation was then
burning brightly, but the firemen tore
the top of! the switchboard and dumped
In chemicals that extinguished the
blaze.
Whatever caused the blaze was con
sumed by the flames, so that its source
could no be learned with any degree
of certainty. Manager Hickman said
many th-ncs might cause the fire, and
the officials were unable to assign the
exact source. It Is believed most likely
however, that wires became crossed'
causing sparks that ignited the appara
tus, or that foreign current reached the
cables, setting them ablaze.
Portland people never realized before
how necessary the telephone Is to con
duct business, for never before has
there been such a curtailment of serv
ice. An i nusually large number of peo
ple had to do their -.hopping In person
throughout the day because they could
J t order by telei hone as usual, and all
who had errands to attend to were
forced to brave the rainy weather.

assistance In getting- the system to

ever possible, were tendered and offers
were made to Install automatic Instru
ments in the ottlces of Pacific subscrib
ers at cost of intlallation only, without
charge for service. These offers were
declined with thanks, the Pac.fic offi
cials realizing that time would be saved
by rushing their own repairs rather
than connecting up an auxiliary or tem
porary system, and plenty of workmen
and materials were already on hand to
effect the necessary repairs.
Fifty-seven Operators Idle.
The fire occured at the most unfortu
nate spot in the whole switchboard,
coming as it did In the initial ssction,
near where all subscribers' lines enter.
The multiple destroyed isolated all tele
phones connected with the whole board
and threw 22 sections, worked by 57
operators, out of commission. Some of
the operators were back at their places
last night and more will go on duty again
today.
The East Side service was not harmed
by the fire. Residents In that section of
the city could still communicate with
each other or call up West. Side tele
phones but those on the West Side could
not call anyone. The long-distance busi
ness originating outside of the city went
on as usual without interruption. How
ever, West Side subscribers could not
get the long-distance operator.
Atout 000 cables, each carrying 50 wires,
will have to be spliced before normal
service is resumed. All the repair men
who could work In the small space of the
switchboard affected were splicing wires
all day yesterday and last night. .They
looked like gigantic spiders spinning
wire webs. The day force was relieved
early In the afternoon and other men took
their places. The latter worked until
midnight, when fresh forces came on
and this shift will work until 7 o'clock
this morning, when others will take up
the seemingly endless task of splicing the
innumerable cables.
Manager Hickman had a busy day
directing the repair work and answering
questions. His assistants were in the
midst of the group of busy electricians
and the only ones taking it easy at the
headquarters building were the "hello"
girls, . who had little to do. With a nfuch
smaller number of telephones working,
they had fewer connections to make and
could take it comparatively easy. More
and more calls are coming in hourly,
however, as the cables are spliced and
the wires connected up so that by to
morrow the operating-room will resume
an almost normal appearance again.

RUTH WINFTEIiD RESENTS IN
TERFERENCE IN AFFAIRS.
Ejects Daughter of Man. Paying Her
Attention Who Had' Come
to Remonstrate.
Miss Ruth Winfleld. a female barber,
with a shop at 66 Fourth street, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Constable Kiernan on compraint of Miss
Corinne Link, charging assault and bat
tery. Back of the complaint lies a
story of domestic infelicity.
John Link, Corinne's father, foreman
of the Portland Lumber Cernpany, has
been paying the Winfleld woman. It is
said, considerable attention, and there
by causing his wife not a little mental
anguish In consequence. Not long ago
she learned of his infatuation, and
Link promised he would not again
meet his tonsorial charmer. Yesterday,
however, his 17-year-old daughter, sus
pecting that he was still under the
spell of the Winfleld woman, followed
him to the shop of the barberess and
upbraided him for breaking his promise.
The seductive proprietress thereupon,
so the story goes, took the girl by the
shoulders and pushed her forcibly out
of t. - shop. Later Corinne swore out a
complaint and the arrest was made.
The woman admitted she had often
gone about with Mr. Link, but dtd not
know he was a married man. She re
marked, however! afterwards, that the
"old man."! meaning Link, would have
to put up the ball money.

f. Ii. Bowman Returns From East
With Tales of Prosperity and De
sire to Know of Portland.
"I find a Wonderful improvement In
business conditions in New York since
my last visit there in November." said
J. L. Bowman, proprietor of the Browns
ville Woolen Mils, yesterday. He had
just returned from one of his regular
trips East on business connected with
the manufacture or clothing from the
product of the mill here. In connection
with that feature of his business he said
after making a trial of manufacturing
clothing in Portland, both for stock and
cuBtom tailoring, he had found that bet
ter results were obtained by sending the
cloth East and having it manufactured
there.
He said that from the train he had no
ticed on his last previous trip numbers of
factories of different kinds apparently
shut down and there were other evidences
of dull times. On this trip all was
changed, for even at night factories were
going full blast and the feeling in busi
ness circles was excellent.
"I found upon inquiry," said Mr. Bow
man, "that the product of all woolen
mills in the East was sold up for this
season, which in the trade means next
Fall goods. The American Woolen Com
pany, which controls 30 mills, is running
them all to capacity. The booking of
orders this year. I understand, amounts
to $27,000,000 against J9.000.000 last year,
and this tremendous business has been
done since opening samples.
"I find merchants and cloth manufac
turers are not scared over possible reduc
tion of the tariff. They say they will
simply readjust their business to suit
new conditions and go right along. Of
course, low tariff or free wool would af
fect woolgrowers, perhaps seriously, but
manufacturers can and must continue In
business, regardless of the tariff.
"I was much gratified to find that Port
land is very much on the map as seen
through Eastern eyes. Formerly when
I visited the East I was frequently morti
fied to have people ask questions about
Oregon and Portland, that proved their
ignorance concerning out Btate and city.
That is all changed now. I was fre
quently asked about railroad develop
ment in this state and about buildings in
Portland, and I felt quite at home when
I noticed on bills of fare In restaurants
'Oregon apples.' Our apples are known
In New York almost as well as at home,
