Many aalea are re ported of Improved and unim proved property, although none are very large. However, muny large sales are "hanging fire." Vheaw wH ptrbWy be mwleipMt week. Keal eatate men predict u great scarcity of houses. This will be due to the Immense Immigration into Portland. Immigrants are coming Into Portland dally, yet comparatively few residences ar being built. As one real estate man said: "If I had money to do so. I would In vest all of It In residences. I would build, build, build, because It will pay. Rents are going up and the prices for real estate are Improving." The largest sale of the week was that of some property owned by the O. R. & N. to Mrs. A. Smith for the sum of $70,000. Francis I. McKenna acted as agent. Details regarding this aula are lucking. ems Wew Balldinfs. Work will be commenced at once on the erection of a three story brick building on a fractional lot on First street near Ankeny. The building which will be 25x50 feet, will be the property of the Walter P. Thompson estate. At present there are some wooden sharks on the lot. These will be torn down. A three-story brick building to cost about $26,000 will be erected on First street between Oak and Pine, by J. V. Cook. The building, which will be of pressed brick, will have a plute glass front. The I'ntted Carriage Company Build ing Is the latest competitor for govern ment honors. The Meier & Frank Co.. which has recently purchased the build ing, lliis offered it for. the use of the postofflce. As It Is only 400 feet from th present location. It may be the one selected as u temporary postofflce by the government authorities. Construction has been begun on thrf oxtenslon .to the Willamette Iron & Steel Works on Fourth and o.isan streets. This extension will be opposite the main shop and will cost about $7,500. Everyone Hustling. The building spirit has struck the Pity and suburbs In earnest. Plans are being drawn, contracts are being mude mil Inquiry is heard everywhere. The work golnn on at tho "Peninsula" gives in Idea of what Is being done In all of the suburbs In the way of building. Besides a number of Individuals who are building on this popular site, three of the largest real estate firms In the city jre Interested there. Hartman. Thomp son & Powers. The Title Guarantee & Trust Co.. and the University Iand Com pany all report extensive building on the Peninsula, ard prospects very promising at that point. Mr. Powers, of Hartman. Thompson & Powers, speaking of the matter yester lay. said: "We are beginning the construction of iliout 20 houses which will be put up on the Oak Park tract at St. Johns. These houses will be built for the accommoda tion of working men who are to be em ployed in the new mills now projected at 3L Johns. We are arranging to lay sater pipes on every street in the tract, ind to lay sidewalks on the principal treets. In addition to this we are re elvlng bids for clearing 40 acres addi tional, lying directly adjoining the car line between Point View and St. Johns. We expect to prepare this 40-acre tract Tor home building, and Intend to have It In readiness by spring." Francis I. McKenna said: "At University Park the building boom is on. Under full head of steam. In the prist It has been difficult to make loans for building purposes. One thousand dollars can now be borrowed on a $2,000 property at seven per cent. The Co lumbia University Insures a rental vilue to houses at University Park dur ing hnrj times, as well as good times. The new factories and mills also give a permanent value to property there '.vhlch Is attracting money lenders. Cleorge A. Ferguson of The Dalles, Is constructing a cozy seven-room cottage. Mrs. Campbell is building a snug little home which will cost about $1,200. Wil lard Danforth is building two houses at a cost of $1,200 and $1,500. Mr. King of Clatskanle has purchased three lots on which he will soon start to build a home. R. V. Hoyt. of Hlllsboro. has purchased the lumber for a cottage at Portsmouth. The new saw. mill com pany has commenced extensive Improve ments on the Cone mill site, which ,will Include the moving of 100,000 yards of earth.

Intends to build a fine home on lots recently purchased by him tit University Park. Mr. Howorth of The Dalles will soon commence work on his new dwelling. It is estimated that about 100 dwellings will be built at Uni versity Park and .Portsmouth this season." At five minutes past 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon Lester Holding was sentenced by Judge M. C. Ueorge to be hanged on Friday, March 27, 1K03, for the murder of his wife, of his mother-in-law, Deborah MoCloskey, and Frank Woodard. A crowd of Interested spectators filled the courtroom some time before the Judge appeared. lieldlng and his spiritual adviser sat to one side. The condemned man was pule and ni'-vous. his mouth working uneasily ind his hands clasping- and unoluspln;r the arms of his chair. When Judge George tool: his place, District Attorney John , Mujinlng rose and requested that cnteno be passed upon A. L. Holding. Had Nothing1 to 8ay.

NEW TODAY., TXB VAXfUB Or CXAmCOAX raw People Know Bow Useful It Xa to Freaarrinr Xealta and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient dlslnfcc tant and purifier In nature, but few real lie Its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. cnarcoal is a remedy that the more you take of It the better: It Is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present In th stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoul sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and lm proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which collect In the stomuch and bowels; 1 disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All drutlsts sell charcoal In one form or another, hut probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges: they are composed of the llnest powdered Willow charcoal, nnd other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey. Hie daily use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition oi the general health, better complexion sweeter breath and purer blood, and the bounty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but. on the contrary, grent benefit. A nuffulo physician, In speaking of the benents oi charcoal, says: "I ndvlse Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa tlents suffering from gas In stomach and bo-,vels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also beliexe that the liver is greatly ben efited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a Ixix ut drutf stores, and ulthough In some sense n patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Ab sorbent Lozenges thun In any of the or dlnary charcoal tablets."
