It was 9 o'clock ' thin morning when
the Oriental liner Claverlng swung Into
the channel and left down for the mouth
- of the river. Under her 4.000-ton bur
den she was drawing but 22 feets-of
water. Pilot Patterson was at me iooa
out, and It Is thought that she will reach
Astoria before nightfall. There were
sis Chinese passengers on the steamer.
- Thejr are returning from Mexico to their
TArmar nnrnta. ' vv uu . inn iiiuiam
left down yesterday afternoon she was
drawing 4S.4 feet forward and 23.7 feet
aft. -U- :-'
, Pilot Fatterson will return from As
toria tomorrow with the government
dredge Chinook, which Is coming up to
Portland to have her ,boilers repaired.

estimated that the boilers can be put In

Port of Portland Commission Boasts
. , Standard OU Company.
After an interesting discussion. , in
which "grasping corporations" and their
methods were alluded to in rather un
complimentary terms the Port of Port
land commission ' yesterday afternoon
awarded the contract of supplying , the
dredge Columbia with fuel oil to the
National Oil company. The successful
bidder agreed to f urntsh' the f uej at 8?
cents a barrel 'for . a term of one or
three years,' the" tenure of the contract
to be optional with" the commission.
Proposals were asked for several weeks
ago and shortly afterwards three bids
were received. They came from the Na
, tional. the Union and the Standard,
whose figures were 89 cents, 95 cents
snd 90 cents per barrel, respectively.
In some respects the prdposals were
not considered to be altogether clear
and at the last meeting of the board the
clerk was Instructed to write the sev
eral companies and request them to
Bubmlt more specific statements. They
"all complied and the answers were read
at yesterday's meeting. a, ':. ' ' .
- The Standard OU company sent an
extended explanation, ' which It con
cluded by offering to furnish the .oil
at 76 cents a barrel delivered at Port
land f. o. Ik. or to place it on barges
at Portsmouth. This was a straight cut
from Its original bid of 15 cents a bar:
rel, and some of the members of the
board, did not take very kindly to the
proposition. Upon learning of the new
offer they stated that they had not asked
'for other bids, ; but simply wlBhedto
'pain additional Information regarding
the old 'ones. The company gave as a
reason, for making .the reduction that
oil at Portland has lately declined In
price. y ::'; v
'. "I move that the National Oil com
pany be awarded the contract," said
Prlscoll. "Its bid was' the lowest at
the time we asked for bids.' I do not
consider that the Standard la pur
suing the right course in the matter."
"I : second the motion," came from
Thomas. "That is just like the Stand
ard OU company. It tries to crush out
all legitimate opposition throughout the
entire country. ' Its . policy has always
been to freese out competition wherever
possible. As. soon as it gets things its
own way in a certain section then the
prlco of its .product invariably raises."
The motion was put and unanimously
carried. ' . .
An offer from the Portland General
Electric company to equip the engine
room at the drydock - with a marble
swltohboard at a cost of 1260 was ac
cepted. ,.
.It was deemed advisable to bulld.com
panlonways over the motor hatches and
'the contractor was authorized to go
ahead with the work. The monthly
bills which had -been examined by the
auditing committee were ordered paid.
In accordance with Instructions which
had previously been given him, Clerk
Moyer reported that he had investigated
the matter of securing quarters for the
commission at the city hall. He said
that a suitable room could be secured
there at a monthly rental of $25. He
was Informed by the custodian of the
building that it would be impossible for
the board to secure quarters there free
of charge.
"I have spoken to Mayor Williams
about the proposed change," said Mr.
Willis, "and he told me that he would be
very much pleased to have us meet in
the city hall. However, I think it would
be absurd for us to go there and pay
rent." -" . .
The clerk was Instructed to make a
further Investigation of the subject.
iciii vi iu prescni quarters . in tne
Worcester building is 114.50 a month,
but the commission is of the opinion
that an apartment at the city hall
should be at its disposal without cost

Gain this week.. J 15,497.67 138,200.00
The influx of new settlers is already
beginning to make Itself felt In the
realty market In this city. .The total for
the wee's shows a remarkable gain over
the same period a week ago despite the
fact that climatic conditions this week
were not quite as good as they were
then. The settlers are pouring In . by
the Thousands and every day -the" real
estate- offices are deluged - with large
crowds of them who are looking for a
home in the new Eldorado. The prin
cipal call from the new comers Is for
farm and suburban, property and quite
a number of large transactions of this
character" have taken place lately and
the probabilities are that during the
coming few "weeks the , total in the
j-ealty market for many years will" be
broken. - Farm property all through the
state, and especially in the Willamette
valley, is growing much in value and in
some cases transactions have been lately
made at figures a third more, than the
same property sold for a-year befdre.
In the suburbs the transactions are prin
cipally in or.e-acre tracts and the sales
of . this character of late have been
very large. All suburban sections, 8t,
Johns, Moumi. Tabor,. Montavilla und
Lents, have .been benefited1 by the in
flux of settlers.
Business Property Sells.
In the : buslnesjs section of the city
the past' week has been more than ac
tive and an unusual number of large
deals have been made. " Some of these
have not been recorded yet, but the
purchasers do not deny that 'the sales
have been made.
" During the week there was quite a
movement in Washington street prop
erty arid the sales were made at quite
an advance over the former purchase
price S. Morton Cohn. a theatrical man,
sold this week his brick structure at
Tenth and Washington streets to Port
land people, but neither the name of the
purchasers jior the amount paid has
yet been made public. On. the sale of
his property Mr. , Cohn purchased the
property where . the . Fred T. Merrill
cyclery is located. Sixth street between
Washington and Stark streets. In this
deal as in the sale Of his own property
Mr. Cohn refuses as yet to make the
amount known. He says he intends to
construct a six-story office building there
during the present year. t
.The old Hogue homestead property'at
the northeast corner of Fourteenth and
Washington streets was bought this
week by John E. Blazler for 125,000.
The property is slightly over an ordin
ary quarter block and contains only an
old. dwelling. Mr. Blaster says it, vat
purchased for speculation, but the know
ing ones have no hesitancy in saying
that he will shortly construct. a mod
ern building thereon.
Handsome Besldenoe Sold.
The handsome residence of A. W.
Ocobnck In Holladay's addition was sold
this week to R. J. Linden for a consider
ation of $30,000, The residence Is con
sidered one of the most beautiful In
the city. '
P. Healty this week disposed of his
holdings in lot 2, part lot 3. block 61,
Caruthers addition to Caruthers addi
tion, for a consideration of $17,000..
J. H. Ehlen, for a consideration of
$29,000. this week sold , to Dr. E. H.
Parker real estate at the corner of Park
and Morrison streets. Mr. Parker In
tends soon to erect a large building on
his new purchase.
-. c; Show a Gala. .
Building operations , are showing a
healthier tone and local architects say
that this year, from all present indi
cations, will prove a record breaker In
that line. A large number of new dIKm
buildings are- being- planned,- but tintlr
tney are accepted by the builders the
architects will not give out any news
concerning them.
One of the largest permits taken out
during the week was that of the Bacon
estate for repairs amounting to $20,000
to the building at Second and Oak
streets.
, There have been a number of rumors
afloat that Mrs. H. W. Corbett had sold
the property on the northeast corner
of Fifth and Taylor streets to a com
pany which Intends to erect a large
hotel, but those in charge of the prop
erty say that no such deal has' been
made. At present the property is occu
pied by a large double house, wh'ch
has been without a , tenant for some
time.
High Water Will Hot Cause Undue
' ' 2lay. "
Until the high water recedes several
feet Contractor Wakefield says it will
1e impossible to bring the remaining
two pontoons from Vancouver to St.
Johns, r
"But this will npt be the means of
delaying the completion of the drydock."
continued the contractor. "By the mid
dle of April It will be already to bt
gtveii an actual test. The berth is ripw
practically completed. Five or six more
days at the site will finish up all, the
work that is necessary to be done at the
' site. It will take about 10 days to
place the motors In the pontoons."
The high water has also been Interfer
ing to no small extent with the opera
tion of the. steamboats plying between
Portland and points on the upper Wil
lamette. Until last night, the locks at
Oregon City . have been flooded and
closed to navigation since Tuesday.
Word has been received that they are
.open once more, and the steamer Elr
more went out again this .morning on
her regular run to Dayton. .

Then place yourself In a receptive condition and permit a 'thought to be impressed
on your understanding. From whence this thought comes, who may have set it in
motion and how your mentality retained it, we maya explain in a future issue.
GOD OF FORTUNE
Place your palms together with fingers and thumbs extended; gently close your eyes;
place the tips of your thumbs to your lips then hearken to the still small voice of
the god of fortune and you will hear that:, .
Is the center ofa future great. city the business center, the social center, the financial
center. Though your eyes be closed you will behold this city on. the high plateau

parts of the world at anchor. You will see the railroads which net the vast interior '
valleys, dumping their freight into these ships, and you will see these ships swinging
their heavy cargoes over to the railroads. You will see mills, factories and wholesale
houses springing up as if by magic, you will see business houses and church steeples
piercing the sky, you will behold myriads of creatures hurrying and skurrying; All of;

versity Park must be the business center, the financial center, the social center of
this great city. -
