Consideration It Three Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Dollart, Making
the Corner the Second Valuable
Quarter Block In the City.
.The LdJ estate ha sold to John F.

at the southwest corner of Washington
and Fifth streets, no. occupied by Olds,

of the build 1 i4.60O. whTc"h leaves
the sale price of the land at I810.004 or
3J.10O per front foot, the Ma-heat price
that hae ever been paid for Portland
realty. Thla la the aeoond largest aala
, of business property in the hlatory of
the city; the purchase of the Dekum
block at Third and Washington some
two- yeara sgo by a Spokane millionaire
twin- the largest , ' ' . -i .
. Well informed real estate dealer
insist that the price paid for the Olds.
Wortman Kin corner wsb low, when
compared with the leeae value of other
prominent Washington street corners.
The Falling corner. 60-foot lot on the
aouthaaat comer of Fifth and Washing-ton,
waa leased to Ii Xf. S wetland
fur 2 yeara for an annual rental equal
, to six per oent on IS00.09.
The comer lust aold waa bought by
the lata W. 8. Lartd about 40 yeara
ago. In 181 Mr. Ladd built for the
firm of Olda Wortman King the
four-story atructure sow on ' the lot'
A - 30-year leaae waa signed at 313.000
annual renUl. beginning November 1,
J01. which has five yeara yet to run.
It la estimated that the property la
capable of earn In a not lass than 3 30.000
per annum. ' .
It la not known what , the O.'Shea
brothers will do with the property at
the expiration of the Olds, Wortman
King lease, but the value or tna corner
would warrant the erection of a much
handsomer and larger building than
now covera 1t. It la not believed that
additional stories could safely be added
to the present atrncture. aa the walla
were not -built to - bear ' additional
' weight ' '
The O'Shea brothers have for some
. yeara been practically at the head of
the Union Meat company, and while

Ppokane, Wash., Dec. 18. In a report
made by a committee representing grain
dealers of central Washington, It . is
charged that 1,000,000 bushala of wheat
are.belng permitted to rot on platforms
at Northern Pacific station because the
railroad officials refuse to permit the
grain to be loaded Into ampty care which
stand idle on tha sidings. Tha commit
tee asserts that the claim of car short
age haa been a mere pretext, manufac
tured by the rallwaya to meet' the com
plaints of those suffering tha rigor a of
coal famine, of lumbermen, grain deal
era and flour manufaojturera. It claima
that 365 empty cars are now atandlng
on aiding between Paaco and Sprague,
and that tha railroad's excuse for not
filling them with grain la that it bag not
the motive power to haul them.
Members of tha committee begged
that thev be nerlmtteri to tranafer their

per cent would thus be saved. They
charge that tha railroads are in reality
discriminating In favor t of flour ship
ments, which pay better, and think It a
significant fact that tha flour manufac
turers, who were Invited to join them la
the conference, failed to appear
Local officials asserted that the heavy
demand for cans to move tha crop in
