Honrs or Portland Mar B
Transported Here for $t a
Ton Consumption Great.
It ! the belief of Attorney Clarno
that Alaska contains deposit of marble
xiual to the high standard Italian prod
art and that the marbls can bs trans
ported to Portland at a cost not as
eroding II a ton. Mr. Clarno returned
recently from a visit to tho Alaskan
marble beds. Discussing; tho commer
rial phaso of the Alaskan marbls In
dustry he said:
The (.'oiled ftates tn ! consumed
$15,000,000 worth of marble, with such
an tnrreastng ilemand that UtO reached
not less than t4O.OOO.0OO. In the North
western I'ntted rtats the consumption
Is between Ii.0b0.ooo snd H.000.000.
with the demand still Increasing;.
"One-half of the marble at this time
being ued In fort land as well as In
Prattle. Is quarried from the Island of
Frlnre of Wales. Southeastern Alaska,
and within hours steaming from Se
attle, and sbout the same distance from
Portland, should a line of ateamsrs bs
placed on the Alaska routs.
"Owners of the Vermont quarries are
now operating; In Alaska, and pronounce
Alaska marble second to no marble In
the arrest commercial marble trade, and
I understand they charge our trade the
same prlco for Alaska marble as for
Italian marble. If the marble trads
of the T'nlted States exceeds ths con
sumption of 140. 000.000. much of which
wss Imported from Italy, the chief ton
nage coming from Vermont. Tennessee
and Georgia, this would account for
ths Vermont people now acquiring mar
h'e property in Southeastern Alaska.
They are the largest producers. It Is
an Industry not to bs overlooked, and
foretells a great change In our futurs
buildings.
Eastern Marble Inferior.
"Our Eastern marbls. as shown In
many of our buildings. Is a very In
ferior quality. It being a marble that
does not take a good polish, and Is
err susceptible to stains. Some of the
best building;. In Portland are chiefly
finished In Alaskan marble. The New
Arlington Club, and ths Olds. Wortman
King building are entirely finished
In Alaska marble. The Spalding build
ing, except the bank and the white
strip slabs in the main entrance. Is of
Alsskan marble, and the greater por
tion of the Imperial Hotel Is construct
ed of the same material.
"People of ths West should have
credit for the products the West ' Is
really producing. It is only Justice
that we have our share of the credit
for our own productions. Whsn the
Panama Canal Is completed Alaska
marble will be shipped straight to New
York and other Eastern cities.
Marble Cart leu ITrdlcted.
"The higher grades of marble have
been considered a product of Italy only,
and the world has been so educated,
but when the Vermont marble men re
spect the marble properties of South
eastern Alsska to such an extent that
they have bought large holdings, and
are now producing large quantities of
It. It is of sufficient evidence that the
product should not be overlooked by
the business men and Investors of our
own city.
"While modern structures are not
built as they formerly were, of massive
stone. It does not In any sense pre
clude the fact that this chararter of
material, through (he aid of machinery,
may be prepared to suit the n est mod
ern design that any architect might
prepare. I believe that In the near fu
turs Portland will havo castles of this
beautiful stone that will bs of such
grandeur as to cause comment from
far and near."

which, b retired for a few minutes
into a species of dressing-room, from
which, he emerged and took his seat
upon an octagonal dais, the faces of
which were square to the principal
points of the compass.
His Majesty first faoed the south
east, after which the whole was en
closed with curtains, and. after a Brah
min had uttered an Invocation, the
water was turned on In shower-bath
faahlon. This wss done eight times,
the King fsclng In a different direction
each time
Suddenly there came a blast of un
earthly music from a body of priests
performing on conch-shells, three very
ancient and ornate bronse cannon In
the palace courtyard were each fired
21 times, and this gave' tho signal to
the batteries of artillery outside the
palace walls and the ships of the fleet
sssembled In the river to fire salutea
of 121 guns.
At the same time the priests In all
the temples of the city beat balls and
gongs with wooden mallets, while
banda everywhere struck up the na
tional anthem.
In the meantime the King had re
tired -to the dressing-room apartment
previously mentioned and put on the
royal robes, consisting for the most
part of magnificent gold brocade.
Here bis Msjesty received at the hands
of the chief Brahmin the nine-storyed
white umbrella indicative of royal 'aak.

his titles, snd other articles of regalia.
Including the crown, scepter and sword.

: proceeded to read an address of homage
and congratulation to the new Sov

I At the close of the address, which
was filled with flights of Oriental
fancy, his Majesty replied. He then
eat down on the throne, and the cur

closed. Various bands played the na

Terrace Park Addition Beports Sales
of $30,000 One Hundred Honsea
Rise Easterner Buys $10,
000 in .Villa 'Avenue.
Within the past 10 days Montavilla
property to the value of 150,000 has
been sold to home builders, so great
has been the demand for property In
the territory east and north of the
suburb. In Terrace Park the agent
announces that sites for homes to the
value of $30,000 have been sold. This
addition is near tne route of the Mount
Hood Railroad Company, and Is on ele
vated ground.
C. W. Davis, who has built more than
a score of attractive homes in Terrace
Park the past year, haa a number of
residences under construction, and
these are-- sold In most eases before
they are finished to men who are
seeking permanent homes. The cost
of the buildings ranges from 2500 to
$5300. About 100 houses have been put
un In this territory the past 12 months,
and the building area has widened
since It became definitely known that
the Mount Hood Railroad will be Duiit.
E. Rassmussen. who owns consider
able acreage '.in the territory to the
eastward, near Villa avenue, has Just
negotiated the sale of 10 acres to an
Eastern man for $10,000 Acreage tracts
closer In are held as high as $2000 an
acre. Some of the tracts have been
cut up Into half-acres and are sold at
the rate of $2000 an acre. Tne marcn
of development will probably push out
to Rockwood In the course of tne next
12 months. Villa avenue has been op
ened SO feet wide to Rockwood cross
road, and the county has ordered Ihe
road cleared preparatory to graaing
and Improvement.
Boulevard's Future Bright.
Between Rockwood and Falrvlew
roads, a distance of only two miles sep
arates the completing of the fine BU
foot boulevard, but It Is considered cer
tain that these obstaclea will be over
come and the boulevard carried on to
Falrvlew this year. An 80-foot boule
vard reaching from Laurelhurst for
13 miles will make one of the finest
drives out of Portland, and wilt be one
of the means for the rapid and sub
stantial development of this suburb.
Just how soon It will be before Port
land suburbs will reach the Sandy
River after the completion of the Mount
Hood road, can be estimated at the
progress now making. More than half
that distance has already been accom
plished. On the Mount Scott line set
tlement has reached Sycamore Station
on the O. W. P.. and that is within
five miles of Gresham. but the Mount
Hood Railroad will carry development
faster.
. Many Sales Are Made.
In Jonesmore, north of the Monta
villa street railway since that part of
this addition was put on the market
by Umbhenstock & larson Company
$100,000 wortn of tne tract nas oeen
sold off. The north part of Jonesmore
was sold to TJmbhenstock & Larson last
October and was placed on the market
In November. Since then there has
been a rapid sale of building sites. The
terms were made easy to buyers. It Is
expected that many of the purchasers
will put up homes during the year.
Some have already started to tuild.
Villa avenue and the Montavilla street
car line passes through the center of
Jonesmore, and the present main line
of the O.-W. R. N. Company skirts
the north side.
North Mount Tabor has made sub
stantial progress between the Base
Line road and the O.-W. B, & N. Com
pany's line. Rldgemont is the ad
dition on the north side of Mount
Tabor, where good progress has been
made. Parkhurst Is the addition In
North Mount Tabor, in which - good
progress has been made the past year.
Many of the Important streets have
been improved and many homes nave
been built. Vlllamead. on East Six
tieth street and Villa avenue, has made
substantial progress. Fifteen resi
dences, costing on an average of $2000
each, have been erected during the
year. In North Mount Tabor Twohy
Brothers are completing their big con
struction plant at a cost of $160,000.
The main structure Is now being com
pleted at a cost of $35,000. it is a
three-story structure. It Is announced
that the company will have one of the
largest construction plants In the
Northwest, covering 17 acres, and will
