When she would tell something of her

Term of 99 Years.
According to a - lease filed for record
late yesterday, executed by Frank Phil
llppl and wife In favor of Carl Friedman,
Giu C Moeer and A. Daviason, a new
modern, flre-proof structure is to take
the place of the buildings which occupy
the- southwest corner of Fifth and Burn
sld streets. The lease is made, ror
years and the lessees are required to pay
a monthly rental of iiouu alter me new
building shall have been constructed.
While the lessees are given tnree years
to put up the new building. .Mr. .Mosvr
announced las night that work would
be fitarted on a flve-ertory hotel building
on July 1. next year, the date when the
leases of the present -tenants expire.
About SlOO.OCrt will be Invested In the new
building at that time. The building will
be designed for the addition of several
stories.
The property has a. frontage of 100
feet on Burnside street and 73 feet on
Fifth street. A two-story frame building
and two two-story dwelling houses oc
cupy the ground now.
"Portland is solng ahead at such a
accordance with the act of Congress of
1909. which permits the Secretary of the
Interior to sell by competitive bidding

tions In the I'nlted States.

the Indian office and Mr. Farr is con

"We have been delegated to return re
ports on the amounts of mature timber
available for sale on the Yakima and
Klamath Indian reservations," eaid Mr.
Carroll. "Not only do we ascertain the
number of feet, but al the accessibility
of transportation or to projected lines".
It would, of course, be poor business
to recommend the sale of all the tim
ber at this time for the reason that much
of It Is remote from transportation and
would not command the prices which it
will later on.
"The money which will be derived from
the sales will belong to the Indian" and
in th case of many of tho reservations
It will be sufficient to take care of the ex
pense of maintaining the reservations,
making It unnecessary for Congress to
appropriate for that purpose. Our re
port on the Yakima reservation shows
2,000.000.000 feet available for sale."
