Lots.
COMMERCIAL USE INTENDED
This Is Second Investment on This
Street "Within Week for These
Men Railway Company Will
i Move Shops to New Location.
Hugil McOulre and T. N. Stoppen
bach have Just evidenced still more
their faith In upper "Washington street
by the purchase of the old carbarn
property at Twenty-third and Wash
ington streets for $125,000. The deal
was made through Hartman & Thomp
son. There has been much conjecture as
to what the street railway company
would do with this property. There
have been hints of various offers made
and of various prices set, but all gos
sip has amounted to naught. The new
owners will use the property for com
mercial purposes. whether stores,
apartment houses, a hotel or something
else has not yet been decided.
There are 11 lots in this piece, which
Is Irregular In shape. On Ford street
there is a frontage of 150 feet and on
Washington 350 feet. The price paid,
$125,000. Is considered extremely cheap
for the location and the amount of
ground In the property.
It is understood ' the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company has al
most completed its plans for a new lo
cation for Its carbarns and shops. On
the land just sold Is a large brick
building two stories high which has
been used as the main shops of the
lines. No storagre has been made here
for some time. Back of this are other
buildings, so that the property as it
stands Is well improved.
Messrs. McGuire & Stoppenbach only
recently paid $100,000 for the two lots
at the corner of Nineteenth and Wash
ington streets, which they will hold
as an Investment indefinitely. This also
was considered a good buy.
Another sale indicating the Interest
in Wushington-Btreet property was
made yesterday by Edgar J. Daly and
W. It. Streeter to Dr. J. S. Bailey. This
is a strip of ground 20x100 feet on the
south side of Stark street, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, for
which $13,000 was paid. It lies next
a piece on which the Otis Elevator
Company is going to put up a building
and at the rear of the Gray and Whit
ney building at the corner of Twelfth
and Stark and the Hefty building on
Twelfth Btreet. There are no improve
ments on the lot. Messrs. Daly and
Streeter bought it some time ago and
made a-good profit on the deal.
E. J. Daly sold lost week the quar
ter block at the corner of Third and
Taylor streets for Mrs. Ellen Murphy
to L. B. Menefee for $112,800. This was
one of the large deals of the week.
PORTLAND'S CHANCE GOOD
Clayton Fa lias Enthusiastic Over
Kilts' Canipliigu at Detroit.
Enthusiastic over the prospects of Port
land securing the Elks' grand lodge re
union In 1912, but nevertheless delighted
to get back home, Clayton Fallas re
turned yesterday from the reunion of the
lodge at Detroit. According to Mr.
Falhus, the Portlund lodge made the big
Best hit of any visiting delegations at
letroit, for No. 142 entertained lavishly
and the . big representation served to
create the desired comment upon the bid
ders for the lt"l2 reunion. He 6ays that
Portland can cinch the convention with
out any trouble.
"It was a huge success from start to
fintah," said Mr. Fallun. commenting on
iPortlanTs campaign at Detroit. "We
were Quartered Ideally to carry on the
campaign, and not a single man lost an
opportunity of impressing upon the East
erners the advantages of the West and
(Portland In particular. In addition, we
scored heavily by distributing Oregon
grown rosea among the ladies of the
visiting delegations and this of Itself
created a, tremendous amount of favor
able comment. All we have to do now
1s to be at Atlantic City strong next year,
and the rent will be easy. We have laid
the foundation and that Is half the bat
tle, for we have the "3-i.stemers talking
about us now, and we ought to clinch
the reunion nxt year easy. It will be
one of the biggest things Portland ever
had, and I hope to see our lodge success
ful In this campaign."
Mr. Fallas had intended to remain a
week In Salt Lake City, but he learned
that Trainer Dick Wilson had entered his
vorse The Jewell in today's matinee, so
he hurried home to attend the meeting
of the Riverside Driving Club this after
noon. STRIKING MINER IS SHOT

WORK IS OPEN SHOP
Unions Not to Control Building
of Thompson Hotel.
C. K. HENRY DECIDES THIS
Realty Operator Tells of Conditions
in San Francisco and Says Port-
land Goes Ahead Because the
Unions Do Not Control.
Work on the immense new Thompson
Hotel being built by C. K. Henry on the
block bounded by Third, Fourth, Pine and
Ash streets stopped for awhile last week.
It was the open shop question that did it,
and Mr. Henry Bays he was prepared to
let the work remain at a standstill In
definitely if he had not been able to
continue it under the open shop plan.
He soon arranged, however, that this,
one of the largest buildings In the city,
should not be built y union labor alone,
and with the understanding that the
unions shall not dictate to him what he
shall do in putting up the structure the
work of wrecking the buildings now on
the lot was resumed.
Mr. Henry returned from San Francisco
not long ago, and tells a remarkable tale
of labor conditions there.
"It has got to the point where even the
chicken pickers are organized," he said.
"If someone gave me a brace of ducks
and I were to take them into the kitchen
of the hotel and ask the chef to have
them cooked for me, he would shake his
head and say, "Can't do It. They haven't
been picked by a union picker.' What do
you think of that?
"This condition is reflected in the busi
ness life of the city, too. Foundries and
factories that used to employ 6000 men
are now running with 500. Hundreds of
union men are walking the streets out of
work. True, the union has made high
wages possible, but work is scarce. When
a union man gets a job, he is well paid,
but the difficulty is in getting that job.
The number of men out of work In San
Francisco is appalling.
"Other conditions besides labor are bad,
too. You will see in walking up Market
street from the Ferries' building after
building without tenants. Not only offices
are vacant, but stores as well. I know of
cases like this: A man with an office
building on his hands goes to a firm and
says something like this: 'Ton are a
well-known firm, the kind that I want in
my building. If you will take this soil to
on the third floor I will pay your moving
expenses, have you connected with ths
telephone systems and give you three
months' rent free." I have known of ten
ants being got' Into buildings this way.
What do you think of that?
"Los Ajigeles and Portland are the only
cities on the Coast that are enjoying good
times and going ahead now. Why? Be
cause 'the unions do not control them.
Union control must not be tolerated here
In Portland. When the walking delegate
came to me and asked if the Thompson
Hotel was to be built by union labor I
said 'No,' and I stopped the work that was
being done until I made certain that the
open shop plan should build this build
ing. "The Thompson Hotel Is e. building that
will cover a whole block and contain 650
rooms, S20 with bath. There will be six
stories and the cost will be about $000,000.
These figures give you some idea of the
size of the job. It is all to be done on
the open a Hop plan, and the independent
contractors will be favored."
Phil K. Gordon, a San Francisco man
who likes Portland, boosts Portland and
owns property in Portland, had a vigor
ous opinion to express anent the open
shop question In Portland. '
"You people are making the mistake of
your lives," said he, "if Portland Is not
left open shop. San Francisco is quiet.
It must be admitted temporarily, I think
but a large part of this dullness is due to
the grasp the labor unions have on the
city. The stories that are told of condi
tions there are not overdrawn. There
can be no shadow of a doubt but that
unionism is holding back the city from
the growth that Portland and Los An
geles, which are not thus tied, are hav
ing. ...
"Ther forces that are fighting for the
open shop In Portland are well organized.
There Is no reason why the fight should
not be won. If Portland once gets in
the grip of the unions, you do not know
how much will be lost. We of San Fran
cisco know, for we have been through It.'

NOTHING LIKE IT IN CITY
Plan for East Side Apartment Takes
Advantage of Jog In Street to Se
cure Fine View and Unusual
Arrangement for ' Homes.
Hawthorne Court Is to be entirely
unlike anything In the way of the
apartment species of homes that has
ever been built in Portland. There are
to be many factors of complex city life
not ordinarily found in an apartment
house under Its expansive roof and
more has been planned for the comfort
and enjoyment of the dwellers In its
42 apartments than Is usual In a build
ing of that kind.
Hawthorne Court is to be distinctive
in many ways; It will have features all
its own; as a place to live It will be
unique.
At East Twentieth street Hawthorne
avenue makes a Jog. Around the north
east corner of Ladd Addition It diverges
for Its own width and then continues
east, parallel to Its former course. This
makes a corresponding Jog in the con
tour of the lot lines at the corner of
East" Twentieth and Hawthorne and
brings one lot tier out farther to the
south than that Just to the west.
At this Jog Hawthorne Court Is to
be built. Part of the building will be
on the llife of the street before the Jog,

CITY BARN AT POWELL AND MILWAIKIE STREETS. "
The new city barn near the corner of Powell and Mllwaukie streets has been completed and the
grounds about It are being furbished up. It Is a two-story brick structure, with a full basement, and
covers 80x200 feet. On the inside the beams are of steel. The base really constitutes one story. This Is
one of the largest barns the city has erected. It will be used as headquarters . for horses for the street

and part will extend out to tfTe line
made after the Jog. It Is to be built
with a central court so that one part
of the structure will have a view look
ing down Hawthorne avenue toward
the down town part and a. large part
will overlook the beautiful Ladd addi
tion. This Irregular outline will add both
to the artistic and practical factors of
the building, for it gives a chance for
architectural effects entirely' Impossible
In a regular structure and makes pos
sible an arrangement of rooms that will
add much to the rental value.
One of the features that will make
Hawthorne tourt distinctive Is Its size.
There will be 42 apartments in the
three stories of the building- and the
structure Itself will cover a space 115
feet one way by 233 feet the other.
Kroner & Henn, architects, Worcester
building, designed Hawthorne Court,
The building Itself is a handsome struc
ture, with traces of the English style
of architecture. The first two stories
will bo finished In brick and the third
In stucco. In the gables will be half
plaster efTects, and wooden bars across
the stucco and' the plaster suggest a
Queen Anne style.
It was the Intention of the'archltects
to design more of a communal colony
home than an apartment house, and
they succeeded. In one. corner of the
basement is planned a drug store In
which are provided soda water and re
freshment accommodations. They fig
ured that 42 families In the building
ought to make a place of this kind a
paying venture.
There is also provided in the base
ment, which really Is the first floor of
the building, a grill, thus carrying out
still further the communal Idea. This
will be large enough to accommodate
as large a part of the dwellers In the
Court as would reasonably be there for
a meal at the same time.
Going still further with the central
Idea of a community there has been
provided In the plans a billiard room
and club' room In the basement- These
things add a suggestion of hotel life
not found in a regular apartment
house: Besides these the basement will
contain the Janitor's Quarters, a space
for Individual storage for each apart
ment and a well-equipped laundry.
It has not been decided whether this

solid brick, but between each apart
ment will be a fireproof wall that will
also act as a dead wall, so that noises
In one cannot be heard In another.
This makes each apartment safe from
fire should flames break out In any
room.
Strong & Company are behind this
project of Hawthorne Court. It Is un
derstood a small company has been
formed to finance the construction, but
details have not been entirely worked
out. Kroner & Henn place the mini
mum cost for a brick veneer structure
at $63,000. It is hinted that some of
the men Interested in the project want
to put up a more expensive building,
believing the location and the novelty
of the plan would well warrant a
greater expenditure.
Fred H. Strong, of Strong & Com
pany, who are also selling agents for
Ladd Addition, said of Hawthorne
Court:
"You certainly can't get a better lo
cation for a building such as this. It
Is 25 minutes walk from the Postoffice
and as soon as the Madison bridge is
done It will be less than ten minutes
by the car. This lot, which is on the
knoll of a rise of ground. Is higher
than all the country around, so that
one gets a clean sweep of view over
the Ladd addition and also the other
way. The arrangement of the apart
ments makes the view one of the chief
assets of the place. Then every apart
ment will be planned for comfort es
pecially, and all the conveniences found
In the best houses of this sort will be
Included here. -
"Each floor will have 14 apartments,
and those on the east side of the first
floor have an advantage in that each
has a garden Into which one can step.
Pergolas and landscape work will make
these attractive. In the great central
court which the building will sur
round will be lawns, flowers and a
fountain, and the main entrance to this
court will be under an artistic stone
arch.
"It Is planned to charge only a mod
erate rent for apartments here, and
those few who know of the place are
enthusiastic over Its possibilities. We
want to begin work as soon as possible."

DEMAND FOR MORE
ITER IS VOICED
Mount Scott District to Send
Large Delegation Before
City Water Board.
PROTEST MADE IN MEETING
Famine Conditions Reviewed and
Plan Adopted and Presented Last
November Again Indorsed
and Will Be Urged.
Monday afternoon a bis delegation
from the South East Side will appear
before the City Water Board to make
a demand for a complete system of
water mains independent of the present
water plants. Headed by the commit
tee from the Seventh Ward Improve
ment League, the delegation will de
mand the execution of the plan adopted
and presented to the water board last
November, which at present is on file
in the water office.
This plan provides for large central
mains covering the entire district. It
is estimated these will supply the terri
tory for the ensuing 15 or 20 years.
Certain mains from the lower reservoir
are to supply the Kenilworth, Waverly
Rlchmond and Sellwood territory and
others from the higher reservoir Wood
stock, Ivanhoe and Mount Scott. One
addition to the system that was adopt
ed last November Is a main to run
southeast along Foster road from Divl
son street. It Is considered best that
at least a 12-inch pipe should be laid
here, for the district Is thickly settled
and the territory can be supplied better
from such a main than from any other.
Another 10-inch main is to be extended
along Section Line road to the city
limits.
In his address before the Citizens'
League of the Mount Scott district
Tuesday night Ben Riesland pointed
out the extraordinary growth and de
velopment that have taken place within
the past five years. He was speaking
of the water problem and the growing
demands of the people. Among other
things, Mr. Riesland said:
"I am not going to berate the several
private water plants In this neighbor
hood, for they all have served a very
useful purpose. As these additions on
'.he South East Side were platted, their
owners put down small mains, enough
to supply the tracts, which enabled pur
chasers to establish their homes. This
they could not have done without
water. These many small water plants
were connected with each other and be
came the water systems that now sup
ply the territory outside of the city sys
tem. But these have become too
small.
"You people out here have developed
this territory so rapidly that these
small plants have become Inadequate
for your needs. You need a complete
new water system to replace these
small mains. You are entitled to water
and plenty of it. The city belongs to
the people and they have the power to
demand and get what they need. We
of the South East Side have been pay
ing our taxes to the city without com
plaint and are entitled to consideration
the same as other portions.
"This district Is being held back for
want of water. While the growth has
been extraordinary, yet the people are
experiencing inconvenience and hard
ship. We want you people to Join with
us of the Seventh Ward in this effort
to secure a complete new system of
water mains according to the plans we
adopted nearly a year ago.
"This plan Includes a lower and a
higher system. The lower one is to
supply Kenilworth, Waverly-Richmond
and Sellwood, and the higher will sup
ply Woodstock, Ivanhoe, South Mount
Tabor and Mount Scott. These pipe
lines will answer, not for two or three
years, but for 15 or 20 years. We shall
go before the Water Board next Mon
day and demand, not beg, for this sys
tem of water mains, and If we do not
get a favorable consideration then we
shall resort to some other means.
"Now In regard to the franchise of
the local company, I shall say that the
franchise was obtained from the people
for a certain purpose and the people
have the power to repossess that fran
chise if the company does not comply
with, its terms. The franchise is the
creature of the people, and they do not
have to beg the company to comply
with It. We have 60,000 people in the
South East Side and consequently have
the power to get what we are after and
what we need."
Walter Adams, of Sellwood, discussed
the water situation in general, but the
method of paying for the mains in par
ticular. "The water system In Portland has got
Into a somewhat mixed condition," said
Mr. Adams, "owing to the fact that the
people voted to tax themselves to pay
directly for laterals the same as sewers.
Then came the effort to go back to the
former system when it was found that
the new one would not work, but that
failed. Now, we will be called on to vote
on a modified form of the original way of
laying water mains at the coming elec
tion, making the six-Inch main the basis
of laying all mains. That is, the prop
erty owner will pay for the cost of a six
inch main laid In front of his property,
amounting to about $35, but he will re
ceive that back In the form of water tax.
The larger reinforcing mains, such as is
proposed to lay through this district, ac
cording to the new plan and the present
plan can be laid by a bond Issue. Bonds
running 30 years and bearing 4 per cent
Interest may be Issued.
"I believe this is the right course to
take. It is not fair that the people of
this district should pay for water mains
when other sections, the West Side and
Peninsula, have been furnished with
mains out of the water Income. We need
this system of water mains for the South
East Side, and the cost should be met by
a bond Issue as provided for by the pres
ent method. We ere to go before the
Water Board next Monday and demand
that the complete system be Installed In
this district, and in so doing we shall in
sist that bonds be Issued to pay for the
mains to be laid. We have the people
and the votes in this district to demand
what we need."
Dr. Hamilton Meade, of South Mount
Tabor said:
"I am gratified that so many people
have come together tonight. This is the
largest representative gathering of peo
ple I have ever seen In this district.
Many homes are represented here. The
women who have come out mean some
thing. In this water famine the homes
of this entire community have felt the
water shortage and the women are
aroused. I have seen my wife so angry
over lack of water that I was afraid
to come into the house. I really don't
think we ought to be required to beg
for a water supply when we are pre
pared to pay for it and when it belongs
to us by right. We of this district
should support the committee from the
Seventh Ward League In its demand
for ample water mains and send a del
egation next Monday to the City HalL
It would be a good idea for a commu
te fit 100. men and; women, to go from
1
this district and fill the city building."
At the 'mass meeting of the Citizens'
League the following resolutions wer
adopted as an expression of the desire
and sentiment of the people of Mount
Scott district:

Springs, Boulder and other places, had
narrow escapes from death yesterday
from the torrents of water that fol

Mountain passes were flooded almost
without warning, and so many wash

the Denver & Rio Grande and Santa Fa
was tied up until noon today.
Torrential downpours are reported all
the way from Gallup, in northwestern
New Mexico, well Into Wyoming. Three
persons were drowned at Gallup by a
cloudburst which tore through the
town and did considerable damage.
While descending Flagstaff Mountain
near Boulder. Colo., Miss Beth Stone
of Davenport. 111., was stunned and
burned by a stroke of lightning. Miss
Stone was renedered unconscious for
several hours.
Pike's Peak avenue, one of the show
streets of Colorado Springs, was turned
Into a river for a time.
Thousands of dollars of damage was
done at Buffalo Park by a cloudburst
which tore away a bridge, washed out
railroad tracks, telephone and tele
graph poles and deluged the entire
district- The Colorado & Southern
tracks will be blocked for several
hours.
In Denver much damage was done
along the bottoms. Cherry Creek, usu
ally nearly a dry runway in summer,
became bankfull In a few minutes, the
result of a cloudburst at Sullivan.
Twenty families in Globevllle were
driven from their homes by the flood,
which came upon them almost without
warning. Women and children were
carried to safety on rafts,- there being
10 feet of water along Lipan street,
between West Twenfy-thlrd and Twenty-fourth
streets.
On South Broadway the water reached
the height of horses knees.
At Pueblo the Fountain River rose
10 feet and the Arkansas River seven
feet, but no serious damage was don
JAP CONSUL TALKS PEACE
Alarmists' Talk All Imagination,
Says Official in Chicago.
CHICAGO, July SO. In reply to the
prediction of H. L. Moody, member of
the Irrigation Congress, now in ses
sion here, that Japan Is preparing for
war with the United States, K. Yama
saki, the Japanese consul at Chicago,
has sent a communication to a local
paper in which he says:
"The distinguished speaker seems to
entertain the startling view that a
conflict between the United States and
Japan Is inevitable. I am inclined to
doubt his earnestness. He makes a
further assertion that the war will
surely come within 30 years. He might
as well contend that Japan will cap
ture Chicago before one can say 'Jack
Robinson.'
"Since the conclusiqn of peace with
Russia, Japan has been engaged with
renewed energy In peaceful develop
ment. Her ambition Is to attain indus
trial prosperity and national welfare.
It is true that Japanese steamers car
ry a part of the Pacific trade at pres
ent. To control that trade is. however,
beyond the imagination of the Japa
nese people. Japanese want only a
legitimate share of the trade of the
Pacific.
"No cloud whatever overshadows the
most cordial relations existing between
the United States and Japan; causes
for war exist only In alarmists' fertile
Imaginations."
