tail Shipments and Coastwise Busi
ness Falls Off to Practically
Nothing Owing to Advance in
Freight Rate and Strike.
The low price of lumber and a con
lnued demand for dwellings has stlm-
lated building here to such a degree
hat a light boom might be saia 10 db
This is much appreciated py lum-
er manufacturers, for the eastern and
California demand for material Is prac-
lcally dead. The advanced freight
fates to points east of the Rockies has
Illed rail business and the strike of
he steam schooner engineers has given
the death blow to business from Cal-
fornia.

itoum udiooner owners will arrive at
early settlement of their differences

Several cargoes are being or are about

"On Puget sound there Is a consld
rrauia movement or lumber on Panama
canal account, some coastwise and some
offshore. At Tacoma fir lumber re
mains without market change, the east
ward rail trade being scattered and not
strong, ine majority of the mills re
port no eastern orders arriving at all
mere is some onsnore cargo trade, a
business that is in a little better state
tnan a rew weeKe ago. California bus
iness is extremely dull. Local build
ers are taking advantage of low prices
of lumber, but this trade is scarcely a
drop in the bucket in taking care of mill
output. There practically Is no inquiry
for shingles to go out bv rail and th
market is weak.
"At Seattle, while there Is a small
amount of rail business being offered,
prices are not such as to attract ship-
jers. ine coastwise trade shows no
mprovement. but some cargoes ara a-o-
lng to Panama. The opening of some
of the shingle mills has caused prices
to slump. There Is no liklihood of
closed mills resuming for 60 days. Rail
shipments from Portland are light. At
San Francisco there Is a tleup of steam
schooners plying between northern
ports, 'Frisco and San Pedro, caused by
a strike of engineers.. Home dealers
say the market Is stronger than It was.
The production of redwood lumber has
been .curtailed. Foreign ' demand for
redwood Is good and several large ves
sels are under charter to take out car
goes from Eureka."

Postmaster Sllnto.
As an evidence bf the Increase of the
amount of mall matter passing through
the mall, one need only to glance at
the mall of one business house to sea
what importance Portland has attained,
yesterday one house delivered to the
postofflce 40,000 pieces of mall in the
form of a letter telling how they are
doing to give away i4.oou in cold cash
on April 2 next. This consignment of
mail welgned 1,684 pounds and will re
quire the service of one man for a
whole month to distribute it; but, as
your Uncle Samuel gets $400 for de
livering this, he makes money even at
that.
This is only one incident In the dallv
life of the Portland postofflce. Forty
thousand pieces of mall would make a
good showing In some of the larre
eastern cities, comlsg from one house.
and shows that Portland Is not far be
hind the leading cities of the country.
Park Donated to Chehaiis.
(Special IMapateh to The Journal.)
Chehaiis, Wash., March 7 "By the do
nation of 15 acres on the hillside just In
the rear of the new Catholic hospital in
the eastern part pf town, Chehaiis se
cures a beautiful new park site. The
Chehaiis Land & Timber company,
which has laid off from time 'to time
most of the site of the city, made the
donation. In honor of one of the mem
ber of the odmpnny the park will hs
known as the John Dobson park. Mr.
Dobson, who was a well known pioneer
citizen, died about a year ago.

Building permits issued by Building
Inspector Spencer during the past -six-
days had a total valuation of J133.000.
If this rate is maintained throughout
the month and there is every reason
to believe that It will be largely ex
ceeded the total value of new building
construction for March will exceed
$600,000. But the probabilities are that
the sum will go over $800,000. Port
land's bulld'ng record In January ani
February was greater than that (if any
other Pacific, coast city except San
Francisco, and It was only a few thou
sand dollars behind that city. The most
eneouraelnir feature in the character
and volume of the permits Issued for
the past few weeks is t lie ract mat so
small nn amount represents new con
struction In the business center, which
Is equivalent to saying that an immense
amount of residence building of all
classes is under way here now.
Large XTumbsr New Sesldenoas.
Probably 60 per cent of the total of
permits issued since reoruary i, was
for new dwelling houses on the east
side, hundreds of homes, ranging in cost
from $1,000 to $2,000 are going up in the
district extending from Portsmouth on
the wett to Mount Tabor on the east.
South of Hawthorne avenue Is another
larg district where one is never out
of the sound of the hammer and saw.
While in the stretch of territory extend
ing fruir Williams avenue to Haw
thorne avenue many scores of handsome
structures -valued at from $2,000 to
$10,000 - are under way.
Aside from a consiueraoie iiumuor ui
pretentious homes that are going up,
much tha greater part of the building
on the west side Is confined to new
flata and epartmerita. '
The number of handsome homes under
construction will be greatly augmented
in the r.ext few weeks. It is known
thai ground will be broken very soon
for not loss than half a dozen residences
that will cost upward of $26,000 apiece.
These arts if' be built on Portland
Heights and the Twenty-third street
district. A portion of the east side
which Is attracting the attention of
builders of high-class dwellings is the
district tn the vicinity of Tillamook,
Broadway and Hancock streets from
Kast Twentv-slxth to East Thirtieth
streets Here a large number of the
most beautiful homes In Portland have
gone up In the past two years.
Despite tiie fHct that no steps have
been taken toward beginning construc
tion work on the proposed improvement
