000 'this year. The Oregonlan building
corner lot baa also undergone a big
uplift In value. " Aa may be noticed It
was ratnd at 126.000 back In the days
at high. levy, and low valuation And. Aa
now valued at $176,000. ...
The erection of the Kenton building,
the alteration - of - the Commonwealth
building and he construction of the
huge , Wells-Fargo building on Sixth
street 'are partially responsible- for the
remarkable-raise In values aIongihat
part ot Sixth street lying north of the
great traffic artery Washington street.
Between Fifth and Sixth streets there
Js . a big difference. The figures " for
the west side of .Sixth, -street' have been
given in the table. Here are the values
of the lots on the corresponding cor
ners of Fifth: - Meier aV Frank corner,
Fifth and Morrison, $160,000; Alder
street corner of Meter A Frank, $120,
000; i northwest . corner, same; Olds,

" Perhaps ' you've never -thought there
waa much difference In value between
the north jmd ihe south., sides of Wah
Ington streets If you are , a real
Tina distinctions are a part of the realty
dealers stock In trade.- .
At any rate the assessor considers
there Is a considerable difference. For
Instmncei - he holds - the- Liipman-Wolfe
corner at Third and Washington $10,000
higher than the Feldenhelmer corner
on the north side,- though aa an ex
ceptiotr-tha Merchanta-"Natlonar'banr
corner and the Commercial block cor
ner, on opposite sides of Washington
at second are valued-the same, $80,000,
' Difference la Corners.
. The corner lot occupied by the Oregon
Savings bank building at Sixth and
Washington is held at $166,000, while
trie- ounst corner on tne soutn siae. is
estimated at $10,000 more. There Is
Just $5,000 difference between the south
side, and the north side corusxs.on.
Seventh and Washington, ths prefer
ence being always for the south side.
This is for three ' reasons, so far as
Washington street is concerned; one Is
that people coming from Morrison nat
urally reach the south slds of Wash
ington first and because the north side
Is that much, nearer Stark, which for
years has been a poor retail street snd
Is only now changing Its character.
Canny merchants lso long-ago discov
ered that with ths afternoon sun shin
ing full Into their show windows pas
sersby were unable to see- the goods
displayed there- to any advantage. . So
t her 'hunt the aouth slde Just as the
clothiers of Morrison "street prefer that
aide. S
. , ' Dektun- Bnlldlaf X ajnable.
' Mr. Sigler considers that ths Dekum
building, corner of Third and Wash
ington, Is the most valuable piece of
property In the city. He holda the,
frontage on Washington ' street - of the
Southwest corner lots at Third, Fifth
and Sixth at tha sams figure, but be
lieves, however, that the Dekura's
frontage on Third Is worth more than
the frontage on either Fifth or Sixth
streets."'"
- For some time ha has-believed the
block bounded by Fifth. Sixth, Alder
and Washington to be the most valua
ble In Portland.
his year he has not Increased thefplace thatnr-Tonstant tftamor'car
valuation upon buildings above that of
last year when a tremendous raise was
declared. By next year, however, there
will be a number of big new buildings
upon property hitherto - occupied by
shacks - of - little intrinsic value, but
high rental qualities on account of lo
cation.

Senator Malarkey Would Like to Pro

Would Senator Hodson Frank
Davey of Marion It Alto Ambitioui
Though less than a weei has elapsed
since the. election, members-elect of the
next legislature are already scheming
over the organisation of the two houses,
and candidatea for the chief offices' are
busily engaged In enlisting votes. The
scramble Is conflnsd to the Republicans,
ns the Democratic members are too few
to hope for recognition.
According Jo the' . gossip current
among the' politicians, Multnomah
county has two candidates for presi
dent of the state senate.' Senator Dan
J. . Malarkey'e aspirations have been
known ever since . his election to the
upper house two yeara ago, and It was
an - open secret during the lest legis
lative aesston that he desired to preside
over the senate In 190T, and was laying
his wires with that and In view. He has
been a conspicuous figure In the last
two legislative sessions, and Is oredlted
with considerable support from outside
of Multnomah, county. , r
But- Malarkey will not. be without a
competitor from this county,. If reports
be true.. Senator C. W. Hodson Is said
to be equally ambltioue to be prealdent
of the next senate, and he can probably
count on the active, though secret aid
of the old Republican machine. Through
out his career aa a legislator Hodson
has been one ot the recognised machine
leaders at Salem. In the- session of
ltot he waa Jack Matthews' right-hand
man In the lower house, and when, two
yeara later, . Hodson was advanced to
the senate, he continued to carry out
the orders of the one-time Republican
boss. Matthew Is now so discredited
that his open support would be Injurious
to any candidate, but there la little
doubt that Hodson would be 'his choice
for president ' of the senate. It te
equally certain that Hodson--would be
extremely distasteful to t he 1 friends of
Jonathan Bourne, for he wast one of
Bourne's most bitter enemies both be
