    THE SUNDAY OHEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 10, 1909.
IS SET
Building Permits for Week
Close to Record:
AGGREGATE IS $833,405
April Figures Approached Within
Only Few Dollars Two Big
Permits Help Swell Total.
Average Cost Is $8251.
The building permits issued last week
came within 17.00 of setting- a new
week's record for Portland, the total of
133.405 which was reached for the
week-being the second best mark ever
set in Portland. The best previous
record is that of the week ending; April
17. 1909. when permits totaling S850.450
were taken out. In that week the $500,
Of0 permit for rie construction of the
Olds & King building was issued, and
this week the permit for the Spalding
building was taken out at a like figure.
The record for one day was also
closely approached on last Tuesday, the
day the Spalding permit was issued.
Then the record made was $518,575. The
record of J527.125 set the day the Olds
& King permit was granted, on April
IS. 1909. still stands.
A contributing factor to the large
total this week is the permit issued for
the construction of the St. Francis ca
thedral at $175,000. This ' permit is
granted for a one-story frame church
and the price seems high in the light of
the building being of frame construc
tion and but one story. Thejfact is.
however, that the workmanship is very
ornate, the building covering a large
site and the dome extending into the
air to a height really equal to four or
moro stories.
The total number of permits issued
last week is 101, a comparatively Bmall
number. This, however, creates what
is .possiblv a record average in build
ing permits, the average price of each
building Mng $8251. The large num
ber and the high total of permits taken
out since the first of October gives
promise of the establishment of a new
record for the month. Already there
have been issued well over $950,000 in
permits this month.
The permits issued each day last
week and the amounts follow: Monday,
October 4. 19 permits for $27,800; Tues
day, October 5'. 19 permits for $518,575;
Wednesday. October 6. 15 permits for
$197,500; Thursday. October 7. seven

HILL'S EXTENSION PLANS
Build Burlington to San Francisco
and Connect Oregon Trunk.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9. That J. J.
Hill is considering the extension of
the Burlington Railrpad from Denver
to the Pacific Coast Is stated by T. B.
Walker, a Minneapolis millionaire, in
terested In California timber lands,
who has close relations with the rail
way magnate. He is quoted as follows:
"In a talk we had recently. Hill told
me that he did not believe that a line
from San Francisco north would be of
great advantage, but thfct the .exten
sion of the Burlington to this city,
probably from the end of the Cheyenne
or Guernsey branch, would be. This
would make a through line from Chi
cago 1o San Francisco, with which the
Oregon Trunk Line could be connected
at some point in Northern California.
The line would give the Burlington a
share of the Sacramento Valley traffic,
and a feeder might be built through
the San Joaquin Valley. With the Ore
gon Trunk connection, another line
would be opened to Eastern Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana.

HAZING MUST STOP
Stanford Students' Committee
Bars Abuses.
BREACH MEANS SUSPENSION
Disturbances Between Classmen Xo
Longer to Be Part of College
Course Pupils Backed Vp
by Professor Clark.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct. 9.
(Special.) Hazing at Stanford Uni
versity has been brought to a critical
point by the recent action of several
sophomores who attempted to ridicule
freshmen by rolling- them In a mud
puddle In Palo Alto. The first year
men resisted the attempts of the 1912
men and one is said to have threatened
his assailants with a' loaded revolver.
' This disturbance, which aroused the
town authorities, has been taken in
hand by the students of the university
and today the advisory, committee of
the university conference passed reso
lutions making It practically Impossi
ble for any further hazing to be car
ried on here by sophomores.
With D. P. Crawford, former football
captain, at the head, this committee of
representative seniors and graduates
has declared in resolution that further
hazing will mean suspension. They
are backed In all actions of this nature
by Professor A. B. Clark and the
student affairs committee.
This is the first time that student
control has been exercised and the re
sult Is being watched with more than
casual Interest. The resolution reads:
"The student advisory committee ap
proves of the regulations urged in re
gard to hazing, embodied In the resolu
tions of the committee of upper class
men called early In the semester, and
will consider further disturbances be
tween classmen or hazing as breaches
of good order and as matters calling
for action by this committee."
DAMAGE SUTMS SETTLED
Farmers and Paper Mill Company
Reach Understanding.
LEBANON, Or.. Oct. 9. (Special.)
The case in the Justice Court of this
city against N. R. Lang, of Oregon
City, manager of the Lebanon Paper
Mills, was called for trial today, and
after a Jury had been impaneled the
parties effected a settlement of the
case and the defendant was discharged.
The matter has created more than
usual Interest in this city and was the
chief matter considered by the local
Business Men's League at its regular
meeting this week, and It was largely
by the Influence of this league that
the settlement was arrived at. For
the last two years or more the farmer
living below the mill plant along the
old Santiam channel, where the waste
water of the paper mill is returned
to the Santiam River, have been com
plaining of the materials and chemicals
run Into the stream.
The mill people have made every ef
fort, they claim, to come to aome
agreement with these farmers by
which they go on their farm along

Have you seen Laurelhurst ? If you have not, see it today
It will certainly please you
It will take you only 15 minutes to reach LAURELHURST by street cars
on three lines, and when you see it, you will be impressed with its superiority
over all other residence property in Portland, as a place to invest money or to
build a home.
The work of improving the streets will commence Tuesday, October 12th.
The improvements to be made are as follows: ;
AH streets are paved with asphalt, 26-foot roadways.
Six-foot cement sidewalks on every street. x
Complete system of sewers, water mains and gas mains.
All laterals laid to the parking strips before paving.
Artistic cluster lamps to light the streets.
Shade trees on all the wide parking strips.
LAURELHURST is protected by building restrictions, and everything objectionable will be
excluded. Special inducements to those who commence building this year.
To visit LAURELHURST, take either the Montavilla or the Rose City Park cars. Both lines

and obstructions and will then flush
It out as often as necessary to keep
the water free from Injurious foreign
elements, so .far as the mills are con
cerned. The mills' have even purchased
a few small tracts where the com
plaints have been strongest and now
own the land themselves. They have
sent agents and attorneys to ajl the
people living along the stream com
plained of and offered to enter Into
written obligations to keep clean at
their own expense the four miles of
old channel used by them as a waste
ditch.
The mill, with a large payroll. Is
one of the strongest factors in mak
ing Lebanon a thriving and prosperous
town, and the business men were a
unit against the action of the farmers
In the. case against the mill manager.
These "same farms which they claim
were so Injured have more than dou
bled in value in. the last two years
or so.

BRYAN'S LAST RUN MADE
Democrat Insists He Will Not Be
Candidate in 1912.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 9. "I do not
expect to be. a candidate for any office
again," declared W. J. Bryan today, in
response to questions by the Chronicle.
"As to my being a possible candidate for
President of the United States in 1912, I
would say that while I will not promise
anyone that I will not be a candidate un
der any circumstances, still I do not ex
pect to be. I hope nothing will arise to
make it necessary to be a candidate for
any office again. I expect, however, to
take an active interest In politics as long
as I live and to take part in the dlscuealon
of public questions."
"Do you believe party lines are being
eliminated?".
"I think that for the last 15 years there
has been increasing independence in the
voter. I do not believe, however, that in
our lifetime we will see but one party. I
see no sign of a drift In that direction."
