HILLMAN
is at the junction of the OREGON TRUNK RAILWAY
(the HOI line) and the DESCHUTES RAILROAD (the
Ilarrinian line). Beside this, an electric feeder to both
is projected from HILLMAN to Prineville, the county
seat, 19 miles southeast. Another electric line is pro
posed, originating at HILLMAN and extending into the
Squaw Creek country, to Sisters and the timber in the
Metolas River, 40 miles away. Also, eight county roads
join at HILLMAN, connecting with every Central Ore
gon town of importance.' Thus, HILLMAN is the log
ical center and real HEART OF THE DESCHUTES
VALLEY. It is, as well, destined to be the great rail
road center of the state. HILLMAN is the hub of the
most wonderful dry and irrigated farming country in the
world. Millions of acres of tillable land lie in every di
rection from the townsite. Irrigation ditches already
flow and irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres south
of HILLMAN. Billions of feet of timber will be cut,
marketed and shipped at HILLMAN, the only outlet for
the great timber belts in the interior of the state.

never called so loudly as now. Investment money was never face to
face with more promising returns than this. Fortune is within the
grasp of any man or woman who becomes identified with HILLMAN
now. . The prices of HILLMAN lots are so low than any man, what
ever the size of his purse, or any womari? of whatever means, shares
an equal privilege to increase his or her competence to enormous pro
portions. Greater opportunity than this no man ever knew, ever will
know. But, advantage must be taken before December 15.

PERMITS FALL OFF
Builders Show Inactivity in
Getting Work Started.
WEEK'S TOTAL IS $158,055
December Starts Off Poorly With
Enough Sets or Plans in Sight
to Promise Kair Record
for Month.
Th Portland builders were not espe
cially active last week in starting: con
struction of new buildings, and as a re
sult the permits issued for new struc
tures through the office 'pf the building
inspector fell below the average for a
week, the total amounting to but $15S,
055. There were 98 permits granted, this
being a fair figure, but there was a
marked lack of permits of any size being
granted. ' v
' The figures are even more discouraging
.for "the December record. The greater
-part of the week's permits were issued
on Monday and Tuesday and for the last
four days of the week and the first
four December days but a trifle over a
third of the permits Tvere issued. This
gives a bad start for the month and
in the face of -a large record for Decem
ber. 1908. some large permits will have
to be granted to equal the business of
the corresponding month last year. There
are, however;, some sets of large plans in
Inspector Dopson's office and permits
will he granted before, the end of the
year. Prominent among these is the set
of plans for the new Heilig Theater,
which is being well checked and on which
the permit will soon be granted.
The permits granted each day last
week were as follows. Monday. I2 per
mlta for a total of 539.350; Tuesday, 20
permits for a total of 961.825; "Wednesday,
17 permits for a total of J17.600; Thurs
day. .12 permits for a total of $9050; Fri
day, 19 permits for a total of $22,830;
Saturday, eight permits for a total of
$7400.

SOUTH FIFTH GROWING
AVI Ln AM ISEXSEE ERECTS
APARTMENT HOUSE.
District Is Awakening: to Need of
Hard-Surface Paving and Booster
Clubs Start Movement.
While Portland has been developing
rapidly in all directions, there has been
one section of the city where growth has
not been up to the" standard. This is
South Portland where property, values
have been at a standstill for a long time
and which is, however, regarded as one
of the finest apartment-house and resi
dence locations in the city.
Recently there have been numerous
meetings of the "boosters," improvement
and push clubs and as a' result plans
are under way to pave a large area of
this district. It is believed that by pav
ing South Portland, as the East Side is
being paved, that there will be a boom
in realty.
Meanwhile, as the paving creeps put
southward, the effect is decidedly notice
able. On Fifth street, which is paved
now to Jefferson street, there is agitation
to extend the hard surfacing to Hall
street and already, on the . strength ' of
merely proposed paving, a fine apartment-house
is under way, on the east
side of Fifth street, between Hall and
Harrison streets. Here William F. Isen
see is erecting a. four-story concrete and
brick apartment-house at a cost of $35,
000. The structure will be ready for oc
cupancy by the first of the year.
The building is of concrete exterior with
brick trimming and is of mill construc
tion. It is equipped with an automatic
sprinkler system as a prevention of fires.
The building is 100x100 feet in size, four
stories high with a full basement, and
contains 32 apartments of three and four
rooms each. The work on the structure
is being done by W. R. Griffith, contrac
tor, who also prepared the plans for the
building.
The Isensee apartments will be nicely
finished throughout with all modern
equipment and conveniences. The floors -in
the lobby and hallways will be tiled
and all the baths will be tiled and fin
ished with tiled wainscoting and solid
porcelain plumbing. The building will be
equipped with an automatic electric ele
vator, a steam heating plant, dumb
waiter service connecting with the jani
tor's quarters in the basement, where will
also be located the laundry, fuel rooms,
storage rooms, etc.
The Chinese divide the day into 12 parts
cf two hours each.

Properly Owners Uecide to Improve
and Open Many Streets at Total
Cost Aggregating Well
Over $25O,0O0.
A. remarkable development is in pro
gress in the district north of union ave
nue, between Prescott street and Wood
lawn. Street Improvements and street
openings are to be undertaken that will
cost above $250,000.
Killingsworth avenue, now improved
between Union avenue and the Wil
lamette River is being made a 60-foot
street east to the city limits. Parts have
been only 30 feet wide and 'these will be
Increased to 60 feet, making the street
a uniform width.
Petitions Xor Hard Surface Work.
Already petitions are being signed up
for hard-surface pavement east from
Union avenue for a distance of two miles.
The kind of pavement has not been de
cided on, but this matter is being in
vestigated. The best and least expensive
will be adopted by the property owners,
and proceedings started so the work can
be undertaken next year.
As the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Co. has a franchise to lay tracks
on Killingsworth avenue east an effort
will be made to get the company to put
down Its tracks before the pavement Is
laid.
A committee from the Killingsworth
Improvement Club will confer with the
officials of the street railway company
about its franchise. It was reported at
the meetingof the club Tuesday night that
the company contemplated laying double
tracks on Killingsworth avenue and ex
tending the line through the country to
Fairview.
This is a new district, only about four
years old, and it Is growing at a won
derful rate. Killingsworth avenue, now
being extended preparatory for the hard
surface pavement, cuts through a rapidly
growing residence district. Lots are
selling along this street at $450, $500 and
$750 each. The property owners have de
cided ' when they improve to put down
the" best pavement for which they can
pay. The improvement will be carried
through to Sandy drive. Water mains
and all other utilities will be laid before
the pavine is put down.
Sumner street, also near Killingsworth,
is to be opened and paved ' with hard
surface improvement. Proceedings to
open Sumner, street have been started in
the City Council that it may be im
proved. Alberta street, which is the
business street of the Vernon district,
is to be paved through to East Thirty
first with hard-surface pavement.
Agitation for a schoolhouse to be
erected between Woodlawn and Vernon
has been started. Children living on
Holbrook and East Fourteenth streets
at present must walk' a mile and a
quarter before reaching either the
Woodlawn or Vernon building.
The Board of Education will be asked
to secure a block of land at about
East Fifteenth street and Killings
worth avenue, and then erect the
schoolhouse when it has the funds. As
the value of land in this neighborhood
is increasing, the board will be urged
to purchase a block or more as soon as
It can. At the next meeting; of the
Killingsworth Improvement Club defi
nite steps will be taken to set the mat
ter before the Board of Education.
Councilman Ellis is giving much
time for the benefit of the people of
the Tenth Ward. In particular he de
sires to assist the people north of
Union avenue in their efforts to open
and pave streets and get electric lights.
It is found that a number of the streets
in this district are closed for short dis
tances antf have dead ends. To open
these streets he has started proceed
ings in the council. For improvements
and water mains the closed portions
must be opened.
PLANS ARE REAIY J-'OR FLATS

story apartment house to be erected at
the corner of Fifth and Collene streel-s

marble. Hardwood floors will be used
exclusively on the first floor. There will

and four rooms. Each apartment will
