Realty clrclft have been rather actlv
for the punt week. 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. Thurman Olenger will soon com
mence work on a new store building to
be occupied by them with a complete
stock of groceries. Mr. Rhea, the
Heppner banker. 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

The prisoner was bidden to rise and
sentence was passed after Heldlntr sig

When the duy, Friday, March 27, was

raw People Know Bow Useful It Xa to

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."
