Interests Holding Immense Tracts Of Timber In California May Be United In Company. The pending- formation of a gigantic corporation to take over immense tracts of timber in California now held by various interests and to merge them into one company, whose saving in overhead expense will be Jl.000.000 year over the present cost of opera tion,' will h duplicated on a maller scale in the southeast, according to reports from that country. Merging of the vast lumber interests in the southern district, with a gen era! revival of the lumber business 1 the southeast as a result, began to assume definite form when the Port Wentworth Lumber Company was or ganized with capitalization of $1,000, 000 and announcement made of furthe plans to unite several corporations whose interests are centered in this section. I. H. Fetty, of Kansas City, Mo., was elected president of the Port Went worth Lumber Company. He will doubtless become president also of other allied corporations, plans for the creation of which are now nearing com pletion. Millions of dollars' worth of timber holdings and operating equip ment will, in the event these plans materllize, be brought under the di rection of a more centralized control, with every prospect ' that the near fu ture will develop an era of unprece dented progress in this industry.

' TUB- FINE HOIS BOUGHT Two Big Deals in Irvington Property Concluded. GIBBS RESIDENCE IS SOLD Price Recently Asked More Than $25,000 Stewart Home Also Is Deposed Of $50,000 Build ing Changes Hands. Two of the most important Irvington residence sales concluded within the past year, involving the transfer of the handsome Gibbs residence on the north west corner of East Seventeenth and Tillamook streets and the Stewart resi dence on the southeast corner of -Hast Twenty-first and Thompson streets, were concluded last week through the agency of R. T. Street, an exclusive dealer in Irvington realty. The residence, originally built for Frank Gibbs, now of the firm of Tull Gibbs, of Spokane, has been pur chased by James F. Twohy, of the firm of Twohy Bros., and while the consid eration is not made public, the prop erty is known to have been held some time ago at prices varying between 120,000 and IZ5.000. The holding em braces five full lots, which have been improved and beautified extensively with .shrubs and landscaping. It has long been recognized as one of the most attractive residence properties in Irvington. Before being occupied in the fall as the Twohy home, the former Gibbs residence will be altered and rebuilt on an extensive scale. The plans have not been completed. At the present time Mr. Twohy is in San Francisco. The John Stewart residence, directly south from the Irvington Club building on East Twenty-first street, has been purchased through Mr. Street by M. II. Kern, who now lives on Kast Twenty first street. In the same addition. This property is said to be valued at be tween 10,000 and 12.000. Both transactions were conducted as straight sales without any trade fea tures. .: fSO.OOO Deal Announced. At a consideration - understood to have been in the neighborhood of $50,000. William Thorn, who moved to Portland several months ago from Texas, has purchased the Kennard & Adams department store building, lo cated on Williams avenue Just north of Knott street. The sale was made by the Bates Real Estate '& Investment Company. Mr. Thorn assumes a pur chase money mortgage of 123.000 and pays the balance in -cash. The deal was handled by James F. Hill. GOOD OFFICES MOSTLY TAKEX Realty Board Head Reports Less Desirable Ones Vacant. "In response to the rumors that have been agoing around about building va cancies in Portland I wish to report that a careful census shows that 89 per cent of all the good office space in Portland is now rented." said F. E. Taylor. president of the Portland Realty Board, at last Friday's weekly meeting. "Of the 1639 office rooms that now are vacant. 915, by actual count, are dark and of poor quality." J. Fred Slaver, a prominent member or the board, gave notice at the same meeting that he would introduce a mo tion at next Friday's meeting of the board to change the rates that are now charged by the board members for arranging the construction of a new building and its rental to tenants. Mr. Staver contends that It is worth more to rent a proposed building than AUTOMOBILE BUILDING TO RISE ELEVENTH AND BURNSIDE. uUTAU a. V . -ft ' to rent one that already is constructed. One provision of the proposed amend ment Is to specify that the agent in new ouiiaing aeals be given two and one-half per cent of the rental for the iirst live years. Centralla Building Active.

The deal wa handled by Dove & Gardner. Twi Bana-alowa Commenced. H. A. Hingley has commenced the erection of a one-story residence at 646 East Thirty-second street that will cost about 12000. CHAMBER WORK PRAISED ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN CARDED AS INSPIRING. KB- President of Oicira Home Bnlldera Forecasts Renewed Bnnlneea Activity will Result. "The Portland Chamber of Commerce certainly Is undertaking some worth while constructive work." said Oliver K. Jeffery. president of the Oregon Home Builders, the other day in sneak ing of the advertisements appearing In the dally papers over the name of that organization. "These advertisements are the co-op erative ideas of the men at the head of this splendid organization and should bring direct returns to Portland and Oregon. Not that the calling of atten tion to our needs and resources will Immediately bring cash to the Chamber or Commerce to be used as It sees fit In developing industries of commerce. Rather will these act on those in terested in the welfare of their own business and give them the needed in spiration and incentive to help them selves to call attention to the good that can come by co-operation. The service rendered by that or ganization will be measured by the success achieved by the individuals of Portland, not by the cash returns to the Chamber of Commerce itself. Its true measure will be taken by its ability to help others and to contribute to Portland s advancement as a city and the development of Oregon as part of the Pacific Northwest- The effort of the Portland Chamber of Commerce to make money or at least to arrange its affairs to break even is an im portant incentive, but the amount it expends or fails to expend is no ac curate indication of the service rendered nor of the progress made TJOssible. I am confident the advertisements will prove an incentive to all com merclal interests to get out and hustle. This bustling will create more and better business. It will require more employes. These will need food and clothing and homes. They will seek amusement. Streetcars and Jitneys and railroads will need more equip ment. &o It means more of every thing. I for one shall endeavor to hitch my wagon to this splendid in- spirational effort, .and I know that Portland has enough good men to take advantage of the openings that are being suggested by men trained to search for and find the real paths and means for making our growth more certain, more profitable and more rapid. "It is for these and many other sure Indications that I forecast the greatest increase in our own business of build ing and remodeling and selling and i renting of homes that the Northwest each year in the United States and , has ever seen, and a like Increase in I 700.000 wounded "because our states- all lines of endeavor." ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF FOR Dl'LMAGE-MAMEY AUTO COMPACT. I Addresses of Welcome to Be Made by Governor, Mayor and Others, Banquet Provided For and Auto Trips Will Be Taken. Under the chairmanship of II. G. Beckwlth. of the Fred A. Jacobs Com pany, the programme committee In charge of the dates for the bis; real estate convention waa vlrtualy com pleted last week and a study of the scheduled speakers and topics of dis cussion Indicates that the gathering Is to be the most Important event of Its kind ever held In the entire North west. Judging from the letters which have been arriving at the headquarters of the Portland Realty Board, between 400 and 600 realty men from all parts of Oregon, Southern Washington and Idaho will come to Portland for the convention, which is to extend from Monday, July 17. until Wednesday night of the same week. In all probability a permanent realty association of inter-state proportions wil be formed as an outgrowth of the July meeting. O. H. Skotheim, a prom inent realty man of Eugene, who was present at last Friday's meeting of the Portland board, predicted that between 25 and 30 "real estaters" from the uni versity city would attend, and similar prediction i have come from other parts of the districts covered by the invita tional committee. Finances Reported Good. It Is said that the finance committee has met with splendid success In rais ing funds to finance the convention and. although the convention Is still two months away, all committees ap pointed by President K. K. Taylor have progressed with their work to such an extent that The meeting could be held almost any time and prove a success. Addresses by Governor Wlthycorobe, Mayor Albee. C. C Colt, president of the Chamber of Commerce; F. E.

BY LIFE INSURANCE EDITOR. kOVERTT In the United States kills more people than are killed In the European war. is the etartillns; statement of Government experts. Surgeon-General Blue, of the Public Health Service, declares that 60 per cent of the deaths from certain diseases can be prevented, while the committee of industrial relatione asserts that 250,- 000 men, women and children are killed men remain silent In the face of the dally atrocities wrought in -times of peace by our system of economic and industrial exploitation." It Is asserted that these figures do not Include the toll each year of 100, 000 . babies killed by poverty before they reach their first birthday. "The preventable mortality," says General Gorgaa, "in this country Is greater than the mortality caused by the European war. Science knows that the chief cause of disease is poverty; that disease can never b eliminated so long as people are forced to live poorly and close together." W.dews Of tea Ket Protected. Statistics show that there are 1,250,- 000 dependent aged wage-earners cost- Ins; their country 1220,000.000 a year for their support. There are S. 127,000 wlddws in this country at least SS years old. 82 per cent of whom lack the neces sities of life and 80 per cent the com forts. There are 7.000.000 women com pelled to earn a living and 1.990.225 children from 10 to 16 years of age making a llvlny. At the present time we are supporting more than l.uoo.uuu dependents ami delinquents in Institu tions. When the breadwinner of a family dies and the widow and several small children are left destitute, it Is almost always necessary for the widow to earn livelihood. Naturally the wages she I receives will be small and by reason I of the fact that she is forced to work I loins hours, frequently. In unsanitary The Better Class of Port landers Are Locating in Here Are Some of the Reasons: The ease of traveling between home and office eight minutes by motor fifteen minutes by three different car lines. The beautiful rolling; land and high elevation of LAUR ELHURST 200 feet above sea level. Long-term building restrictions, covering a tract one mile long and three-quarters of a mile wide, excluding the nndesirable improvements which are today ruining many of Portland's most beautiful homes. Good schools nearby. Twenty-six miles of charrring: serpentine drives lined with ornamental shade trees. A thirty-one-acre natural scenic City Park right in the heart of the addition. Congenial neighbors and an opportunity to join the largest and most progressive social club in the city the "LAURELHURST CLUB." And because LAURELHURST is owned by some of the wealthiest and most prominent men in the Pacific North west, who are spending thousands of dollars in improving the tract every year.

In cases where the father Insured his life, even for a small. amount, the cir cumstances are different. Investiga tors are often amazed at the clever ness of widows in spreading out. so to speak, over a long period of time, the proceeds of a small life insurance pol icy. In many cases it tides over the years necessary for the children to ma ture and be in a position to earn their own living. Where there has been nothing saved and no life insurance has been pro vided. Infant mortality Is necessarily high. The report of the Government ex perts shows how poverty kills, and makes the following comparison: "In Brookline. Mass., live the well-to-do and the rich of Boston. Babies die in Brookline at the rate of 7fi per 1000. In South Bethlehem, where live the steel workers, whose brawn and brain produce the wealth that has glutted Wall street banks and the cof fers of Broadway wine merchants, ba bies die at the rate of 233 per 1000. More Babes sf Workers Die. "Where the people work the hardest their babies die the fastest. Poverty kills them. It Is fair to say that the net result of the American steel Industry la killing babies and making millionaires. East Orange. N. J.. la another wealthy suburban town, where no one works very hard and 'most of the residents work not at all. Babies die there at the rate of 7$ per 1000. "Fall River. Mass.. is a center of the textile Industry of New England. The people there produce the wealth that Is spent In towns like Brookline and East Orange, or on Fifth avenue. New York. And their babies die at the rate of 228 per 1000." Poverty In tho United Plates kills more people than are killed In the European War, but a careful analysis of the statistics given shows that life Insurance would have greatly re duced the mortality.
