It was placed in the trade at a valuation of $50,000, according to Rob ert Krlms, a Portland attorney, who represented the Smith Securities Com pany in the entire transaction. The Multnomah was sold at a con sideration of $700,000, a purchase money mortgage of J400.000 being involved. Approximately $225,000 was paid In cash, it is understood, the balance of the consideration, $75,000, being satis fied by the Chesterbury Hotel, together with Seattle and Ellensburg property The Multnomah Hotel is to be reopened on October 1. according to announce Building Plans tio Ahead.

The building is to be erected at Tenth and Montgomery streets, where the or ganlzatlon owns property 100 feet square. At last week's meeting of the Central Labor Council the proposal to build a $100,000 Labor Temple building in Port land was revived by calling the Inac tive building committee back into life. A few months ago the labor officials arranged to have the temple built on a corner Just west of the County Court house, on Fifth street. Hospital Contract Awarded.

A privately built teacher's cot tage for a public school, a house built of wood, by dealers in wood, is the unique educational institution now be ing completed here by the co-operative effort of a group of Influential citi zens, who found a way to cut the red tape of the law and' erect & really pre tentious edifice. In an address at Dctver some months ago R. S. Kellogg, secretary of the Na tional Lumber Manufacturers' Associ ation, and author of a brochure on the building of cottages for country schools teachers, sent out by the Federal Bu reau of Education, gave his reasons for believing that such cottages would solve the problem of keeping efficient teachers In the .country schools. 7 ;.H low- Jt i ' J 4 y. .. . i-: ' T- . .

Wilcox, president of the Portland Flouring Mills and owner of several Portland ekyscrapers. The new suburban mansion " is sit uated at the edge of -Tualatin Valley, about three-quarters of a mile beyond Hewitt's Station, on the Portland Heights carline. It is reached by mo toring over Montgomery drive to Mount Zion and then following the Garden Home road for a half mile, or by walk ing from Hewitt's Station via Mount Zion. Approximately J100.000 is being spent by Mr. Wilcox on the residence and the sunken scardens which adjoin. It is eaid that Between $25,000 and 30, 000 additional has been invested in the commodious house for helpers, the barn, chicken-house and other subsid iary buildings, all of which are con nected with the main road by pave ment.

Highway Development Will Be Consid ered from Various Views and Outside Visitors Are Invited. The regular meeting of the Portland Realty Board, at the Benson Hotel next Friday, bids fair to be one of the most interesting and Instructive ever held by that active organization. The Board prides itself on carrying out all undertakings on which it may start, and now has its coat off in an endeavor to unravel the complicated highway situation. The Board members believe everyone really favors highway development, be ing kept apart only by different view points, and that the first 'step toward constructive work is to give all aides - fair hearing., as" each undoubtedly has good reasons for his position. They believe this free expression should make It possible to- arrive at some common ground on which all can unite. There will be speakers from differ ent sections of the state and those who represent the different element that have entered Into this greatest need of our state highways. Those who have had actual experi ence in our highway work and its di rection, as well as those who view it from a scientific, and also a useful standpoint, will be heard. The financial end the cost will not be overlooked. Representatives from those counties that have bonded for highway con struction will be present. The county courts of at least five counties have signified their intention of attending, with others to be heard from. The complete programme will not be ready for announcement before Tues day. It Is known, however, that the following are some of the subjects which will be discussed: "State High ways." "Highway Engineering," "The Expense of Highway Construction," "Labor's Position on Highway Build ing," "The Hotel Men's Interest in Highways," "The Farmers' Ideas of Highway!,"' "How the Large Timber Owners View Highway Construction."

Soma comprehension of the size of the house may be gained by pacing off the living-room, which is 30 by 50 feet, and the dining-room, which is 24 by 80 feet. The largest fireplace, in the living-room, occupies 10 feet of the wall space. Other fea- tures are a billiard-room, a spacious li brary and a closed-in sleeping porch. There are 14 or 15 bedrooms, not in cluding the servants' quarters on the third floor. The entire residence Is to be fur- Lnished with hot water heat and there is a system of 20 telephones. There is -a fireproof boiler-room and an in closed range bricked in for electricity. Old-fashioned hardware, artistic in de sign, will be installed throughout.

Private paved roads, each about 1000 feet long, lead from the Garden Home road to the Wilcox residence and barn, respectively, and there is an attrac tive court in front of the residence, As yet Mr. Wilcox has been unable to determine upon a suitable name for his new country home, although he has about concluded to name it Glenslde Farm. It is 'Understood that Mr, Wilcox will not give up his palatial city residence entirely for the new country home, but will use the latter as his desires dictate. The country home will undoubtedly be employed principally in the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons, although a permanent road makes the suburban estate readily accessible during any state of weather.

DOAK. 3S EAST FIFTEENTH STREET NORTH, SHOWING REMARK DISPLAY OK PORCH AND WINDOW BONES. Business Structures Become "Obsolescent" for Various and Sundry Reasons. SENILITY NOT ONLY CAUSE Even Comparatively Sew Buildings Soon Are im "Obsolete" Class Because Poorly Planned, Says O. G. Hughson. PORTLAND. Or.. Sept. 16. (To the Editor.) We note in E. B. McNaugh ton's thoughtful article in The Sunday Oregonian of this wek, the recurrence of our old friend "obsolescence," and as these articles presumably are written for general reading and as this term, it may be presumed, is not as digest iable as the rest of the article in ques tion, it may not b out of order to elucidate after a fashion. There Is probably no doubt that of the many perplexVjg questions which con front the owner of Inside property and the manager of the estate having in side holdings, one of the most perplex ing ia that of preventing commercial obsolescence and for the reason that streets and buildings, like, the people who use them, grow rapidly old and die. To prolong commercial utility, ap plication must be had of the doctrine of -regeneration or the new birth. Just as it is a world-old problem to rejuvenate the old, to maintaim health and usefulness, and prolong human life, so it is" an ever-pressing problem to the property owner to dis cover some promise of holding trade to a street that has had Its day, or tenants to a building that sings with aged quiver on every approach of the owner. "Darling, I am growing old." Sentiment Ia Factor. Yet just as we feel It yould not be human to let the old man go he has been with ua so long although we know he is not much good, and out of date and he belongs to the "other days," of which he is constantly re minding us by his doctor and pill bills and old-time out-of-touch talk ana actions while we know we would be better off without him yet. still we can't bring ourselves to let him go. and we go on. holding to him. tinker ing him up. repairing and patching and fussing with him. seeking to keep him with us as long as we may, for senti ment's sake, for what he was to us, for what he did for ua in the years gone by and for the heart and will in him that would do for us now if times and customs had not so changed, out-grown and left him behind. He is willing to do and wanting to do but obsolescent. So. it mlRht be conjectured. It may be with an old business location or a pion eer building Is there much more of real Interest and attraction In an old man to the child on whom he is de pendent than in an obsolescent build ing to the average owner? May not sentiment, so active in the case of the former, obtain to some extent In the owner of the latter? But." some will say, " just what Is meant "bjr an obsolescent street or building? We know what idea it is Intended to convey when applied to a man, but we hardly follow when it Is applied to streets and buildings. Old Streets Are Deserted. ADDlied to a street this term, "obso lescence." signifies that it is becom ing disused or tailing into disuse. It's the same old street, like the same old girl, with this difference: People don't stick to the same old street as they do to the same old girl. So, then, a street, which peopie. ana therefore, trade, who for any reason are leaving, is obsqlescing in that it is becoming obsolete or disused. And an obsolescent building is on that is going out of date for any of many rea sons, and becoming disused, or unde sirable for any reason, an old-timer, so to sneak: going out of date, as we say one that its tenants are leaving -for better quarters and more up-to-date conveniences and equipment, having the latest developments of the archl tect's and builder's art. A building, then, on which special Inducements in the way of lower rents, better terms, etc. must be offered to hold the old or obtain new tenants would be properly termed obsolescent just as an old boy, who has lost his hair and his snap and pep might be called obsolescent from a safe dis tance. Then there is another consideration that in this connection is a powerful concomitant with obsolescence and that is imperfect or Improper development in planning and erecting the building, so that while it might be practically new, yet still it could readily become obsolescent by reason of bad arrange ment of the rooms or offices, as to size. etc., or the lighting and heating might be unsatisfactory, the elevator service poorly planned and in such case a good location might not suffice to save the building from going into disuse or obsolescence if other quarters not of fering these objections could be had Disease" Ia Explained. We, therefore, readily see that this disease, if it may be so termed, is far worse than mere senility, for it may and does attack perfectly good build ings, perfectly sound and well built. but which on account of the wonderful and rapid strides in -progress In archi tecture, in heating, plumbing and elec trical appliances and a thousand and - i :- RESIDENCE FROM MAY? UNTIL rt-z - i - ""V I BY LIFE INSURANCE EDITOR. w HEN a life insurance agent ap proaches yoa and speaks about your "expectation of life." it is well to ask just what he means. To tell what Is a person's expectations of life in a certain number of years is not the same as saying that he has an even chance of living that number of years. This is true because the tables giving the expectations of life represent the average remaining length of life, at any gi.tn age. in a stationary popu lation, whereas the average person in a given group has an even chance of living to what is termed the median age at death. The median age is the age below which half of the members of that group will die. This median age at death for all whito males in the United States in the assumed stationary population is 60. Ihis means that of a given num- ber of white maies born alive, half will die before reaching 60. and tha otner half would die at the age of 60 or beyond. Therefore, it is perfectly obvious that a native white male child at birth has one chance In two of liv ing to be 60 years of age.' He has a trifle better chance at the end of the first year and if he succeeds in living to be 42 years of age, he has one chance in two of attaining the Bibical three score and ten. Strange as it may seem, a white female child, at birth, has a better chance, for at the age of 1 she has one chance in two of living until she is neaiiy t years old. At 22 years of age. her chance of reaching 70 is an even one. This proves that a native white man at 43 and a native white woman at nave about the same chance of celebrating their seventieth birthdays. These figures do not apply to negroes, who live on an average of 16 years less than white person Sam L. Rogers, director of the Census Bureau, has Just compiled an interest one new things that were untried or unknown only yesterday, lay these buildings open to the insidious attacks of this deadly germ. Therefore, it is true that one of the most perplexing jroblems that con- ront tne owner or inside city property Is how and when to inoculate against r, having a patient, how successfully to treat to bring about a temporary ure for a temporary cure is the most that can be expected. Ye must be built again" and "Be hold, all things are coming new," con tain the only doctrine that completely will eradicate the ravages of this dis ease and In some quarters it appears this doctrine, is being applied with promptness and vigor to the satisfac tion of tenants and profit to the owner, but in Portland it would seem that many are a till mindful of the ancient injunction to "remove not the land marks that thy fathers have set." This condition is, no doubt, in a measure fostered by city laws, which prevent building any but concrete and steel structures iu the central portion of the lty and anyone attempting to do other wise doeaj so at considerable peril. The writer was informed on one- occasion that if anyone attempted it he would be promptly epjoined and opposed to tha limit. Therefore, as these poor, obsolescing patients may not be put out of their misery, nor be sent to health resorts for buildings, nor on long journeys to consult an authority on rejuvenescence. the owner of Inside property is under the necessity of falling back on the old family physician for some simple home remedy, and he prescribes a treat ment of renovation, a rigid remodeling massage, or. after a careful diagnosis. course of absent treatment by the tenants a full and complete rest from rents and a general overhauling, with the installation of a lot of modern appliances and conveniences on the homeopathic doctrine introduced by Hahneman over 100 years ago that. stmllla slmilibus curantur, and in ac-nnrrin-trA with hl (HAhneman'sl "nrov- Ings," installing in the old building ! those Improvements that have been ! proven good in new or healthy build- ' lngs and in Just as small doses as prom- . ise the speedy recovery, the rapid con valescence and return to former earn ing capacity. And nonce it is that we have so much changing, alteratlng, re modeling, renovating, putting in im provements, new wiring, new lighting. new heating systems, etc All In an attempt to prevent the encroachment of what is veiled in the term, used only by super writers on city invest ments and values, obsolescence, but which in plain Engk.sh means out-of- date-ness or old age and undesirability in buildings. There is only one other way in which this condition may be in a measure remedied, and that is to discourage and, as far as possible, prevent new and modern buildings from being erected, for so sure as better quarters with all the latest things in comfort, conveni ence and safety are provided, tenants are going to flock to them. This may be more easily brought about than would appear at first glance, for the reason that the prospective Investor or builder is a very cautious person as a rule and is a great seeker for Infor mation. But this phase of the subject we pre fer leaving to those better equipped to handle and close by saying that a care ful survey of our city and an intimate knowledge of land values and first costs perhaps would Indicate that some of the conditions more or less humor ously touched upon herein might possi bly obtain In Portland. At any rate. It is wise puduo as well as private policy for all owners of Inside property to do all possible not only to create and turn work and trade and business, deliber ately and intentionally and purposely to their tenants, but also to the custo mers of their tenants, and to take Pains to find out and know they are doing so. -or only by so doing may the building manager and owner show practical appreciation of their tenants and their trade. O, U. HUASON. Manager Builders' Exchange. r COMMISSION", KATE IS CHAXGED Consideration for Negotiating Lease- - liolds Increased. The members of the Portland Realty Board last Friday adopted a recom mendation of the executive committee which makes , a rather important change in tha scale of commissions on leases that are to be demanded here after by board members. Formerly when an agent arranged the construc tion of a building to suit a tenant he was entitled to an average month's rent and 1 per cent of the total eon tracted rent after the five-year period, under the new ruling he will get 2V per cent of the total rent of the first five years and 1 per cent of the subsequent rent. By another change, also adopted at last Friday's meeting in tbe Hotel Benson, only the active members and not the associate and affiliate members of the board will be privileged to en gage the services of the appraisal committee of the board on a half-rate schedule. LADD COMPANY MAKES SHIFT F. N. Clark Withdraw and E. A. Clark Goes to New Department. Announcement was made last Spring of the entry of tne Ladd estate Com ing set of tables proving the truth of the statements Just mentioned. These figures are. so it is said, the first ever prepared by the United States Govern ment, and are quite similar to those compiled by the large life Insurance companies, with the exception that they cover the entire population of certain districts and not only the risk's selected through medical examinations. According to these figures the av erage expectation of life at birth for males is 49.9 years, and for females 63.3 years. Because of the relative difference in the longevity- -of white persons and negroes, the expectation of life for whito males is 60.3 years and for 'vrhits females 63.6 years. Therefore, on the average, women live three years longer than men. Because of the high infant mortality, expecta tion of life Is approximately six years, greater at the age of 1 than at birth. The maximum expectancy is reached at the age of 2, when it is seven years greater. It is something to think about. This utterly -uncontrovertible fact that you have but one chance in two of ever reaching 60 years of age or more. The life Insurance companies claim that comparatively few men take the-se chances of longevity into consideration. Otherwise, there would bo a greater amount of life insurance sold. A life insurance policy, they claim, is one of the few reasonable and dependable an tidotes for the gruesome story told by the mortality tables. Many of the va rious forms of life insurances contracts are based upon the one theory of a man being able to continue his earning power, or at least a portion of his earning power, after his death. And it seems, too, that there is some certain form of policy to fill every need, no matter what that need may be. No matter how obscure may be the exact meaning of an expectancy table to you, the fact still remains that if you are a native white male you have but one chance in two chmr -reaching60 yeorsof age or over. pany into the active development and Improvement of Its large holdings In Portland.
