STONE AWAITS TAFT REALTY DEALERS BUSY WEEK First Universalist Church of s Good Tidings Rushed. t BANK OCCUPIES PALATIAL QUARTERS - -. i , ! HAVE Numerous Transfers Make Up fcr Scarcity of Big Deals. BIG PROJECTS CONSIDERED Rumors Tell of Other New Sky scrapers for Portland Down town Building Continues Ac tire North of Washington. While there was & scarcity of large transfers of property during the last weekthereal "estate market was far from being inactive. What the real estate dealers have lost during the week In making large sales, they have made up In the quantity of sales of medium weight and in sales ranging from J10. C00 to $49,000. One of to chief features . was the heavy trading to the north of ; Washington street and especially along ' Burnside 6treet. In this locality the market has been unusually active. A number of projected new buildings YiavA been nnnminrpd. kpeninz UD With the record of the past Summer but hardly equaling the numerous announcements of a week ago when the plans for several new skyscrapers for the business section were given out. Rumors have been afloat, all waek of numerous large structures to be built. One of these is that a new 12-story building. lfwtxlOO feet. Is soon to be built nn rnnHh street and that a firm of architects is now working on the plans. It was stated that w. a. tsarsiow. a con sulting engineer with offices In the Fall ing buildig. had been requested to give estimates on the steel for a reinforced concrete building of this description, air TinrAfnw'H neents admit that this ia I fact and that such a building is to be erected but states that absolutely noth ing may be given for publication for a short time yet. Another report current, and which is verified by architects. Is that plans have been prepared by Berndt Tegan for a six-story fireproof apartment-house. 100 xlflO feet, to be erected on the West 8lde. Architect Berndt withholds the name of the builder and the site for the new structure. Heal estate men and architects also say Ernst Kroner Is preparing plans for a large fireproof structure. Mr. Kroner bas formed a partnership with C. W. Henn. an Eastern architect, who has been In Portland less than a year. They will occupy offices in the Worcester block nd the new firm will be in the field after October 1. Many plans for new structures In the business district of Portland are begin ning to take shape. The plans for the remodeling of the Portland Hotel, as an nounced elsewhere today, are getting un der way and give promise of a great ex penditure along building lines. The Sell ing property at the southwest corner of Sixth and Alder streets will likely be improved in a short time. In fact, the tenants are dally expecting notice to tv AnH nf the roaulred 90-day notice. This is made especially probable by the fact tnai me upper pun. w " . i' .4 Ka K.cn without an v tenant for the last two months and this week prospective tenant refused to move in v . - Iaqoa tint fvpn of the short- . . ha obtained. Demoli tion may be expected to be started by the first or tne year. Plans are also assuming definite shape for the new Lipman-Wolfe building on Fifth street, between Washington and Alder streets. Doyle & Patterson are ..ir..- o..t the details for this work and. with the new Olds, Wortman & King building at Tenth street nearlng completion, the prospect for building op erations to start in the near future are daily becoming better. -t i- eqp8 which attracted con eiderable attention last week was the nt ths it located at the nortn east corner of Tenth and Davis streets for $:5.000.

Several New Courses Added and Ad vance Enrollment Is Heavl ' . est In History. With an enlarged faculty and equlp men to meet every need, the educational department of the Young Men's Chris tian Association will open its now building tomorrow.

Advance registration nas ue heavier this year- than ever before and the enrollment to begin with will prob ably go over 300. Before the close of the school year officers of the associa tion believe that fully 700 young men will have been listed in the numerous In the past the association was never in a position to care for such a large body of students. The new quarters however, are all "that could be desired for a large institution. The entire 1 ' i ni over half of the base ment will be devoted exclusively to educational purposes. Besides the regu lar classrooms, several laboratories are being equipped for the mechanical and scientific branches. , Several courses entirely new have been added to the Y. M. C. A. cur riculum this year. Among these are apple culture, pharmacy, sheet metal drafting and public speaking. Each of these subjects has been taken up In re sponse to repeated demands and it is expected that the registration in the new departments will bo large. Apple culture is rather a novel sub ject that has been added at the sug gestion of ptomlnent horticulturists. As this industry is growing in importance the necessity of a more general knowl edge of scientific methods has been recognized, and the Y. M. C. A. hopes to do much to promote the raising of fine fruit. Prominent apple raisers from all parts of the state will attend the meeting of this class and address the students. . !,...... Public speaking is a subject that the association has long felt the need Of taking up, and the class to be organ ized promises to be large. Professor F. W. Orr, of Pacific University, who is known as an instructor of marked ability, has been'sccured to take charge of this work. Automobiling, although not a new subject in the association's curriculum, will be much more Important this year that ever before. Twenty young men have already registered for this course. They will be given a thorough instruc tion in the mechanical details of the automobile and after this has been mas tered will be taught to drive. By teaching chauffeurs to be careful in handling a car it is hoped the associa tion may do somAhlng toward cutting down the number of accidents. W. H. Hollobetter, who has just come to Port land from Ohio, where he was con nected with an automobile factory, has been secured to take charge of this department. h A. E.

Riley was released upon his own recog nizance, and will have a hearing before Justice Olson tomorrow afternoon at 2 Riley's version of the affair is entirely different from the one furnished by Beuchel. Riley says that Beuchel made an attack upon him. and tried to hit him with a heavy paper-weight. His actions, he said, were taken to prevent, being assaulted by Beuchel. Riley was called into the private office of Chief Cox yesterday afternoon to make an ex planation. Riley's version is so satis factory that no action has been taken by Chief Cox.
