Thorburn Rosa, heard on appeal from

Tbs only question raised in ths o-
eussed in- the opinion heretofore ren
dered is as to ths effect of the supple
mental agreement of November IT,
1 lt. It -l the opinion ef the oourt
that the supplementsl agreement te in
effect a Junior mortgage from Marquam
and wlfs in fsvor of ths investment
company and in no wlae affected ths
terms of ths other agreements or the
mortgsgs' given to tbs United States
Mortgage company by which the sals
of the property wss mads under a de
cree of foreclosure.
The. decision ends the protracted liti
gation snd glvss to the Title Guarantee
dc Trust company ths abaolute titls to
property estlmsted at nearly $1,00,000
In value. ' The most valuable of ths
property Is ths block on which ths Mar
quam building standa, bounded by Mor
rison. Seventh, Alder and Sixth streets.
Ths decree also glvss to ths Tttls Guar
antee A Timet eompany an 10-acre tract
on ths Sandy road, about ons mils from
ths city limits, and four lets at - ths
eomsr of Front and Harrison streets.
-The litigation which was Anally snded
by the decree handed down today began
seven years ago, when ths. Tttls Guaran
tee company brought suit to foreclose
the mortgage on the Marquam prop-
ertles. This suit wss decided In favor of
the company ' In June, un, by tbs stats
supreme court, and four months later a
new suit wss instituted by Marquam,
for tbs purpose of setting aside ths fore
closure. Ths Immense Increase In the
value of tbs property covered ty tbe

contested and soms of ths sblest at
torneys of Portlsnd appeared la the
ease. - .'.-.: . ,' -
J. Thorburn Ross, president of the
Title Guarantee eV Trust company, was
Informed this sftemoon of the deolelon
of the supreme oourt in ths Marquam
cass and was asked whst disposition
tbs company expected to make of tbs
property. Mr. Ross replied:
"We havs no plans as yst for ths im
provement of ths property. Undoubt
edly Jt will be improved, and I presume
the msttsr will bs taken up soon, but
it is a largs undertaking and will re
quire time We -havs postponed consid
eration of such questions until ths liti
gation should bs finally concluded."
The block on wblch ths Marquam
building stands Is one of ths most valu
able In the olty. Its central location
has often attracted the attention of
largs investors and there haa been much
speculation as to its ultimata use. with
the exception of ths Marquam building,
ths Improvements ars frame buildings
of llttls value.
