The present site of the Williams ave
nue school at Williams avenue and

business district of Albina and Is one
of the most desirable business sites on

Doing Land Office Business.
Balsa. Ida.. Anril 2. March waa nnn
of the busiest months In the history of
he United States land office here. Dur
ing the month 192 homestead entries
were made, as against 82 for the same
month a year ago; 35 desert entries
were made, against 11 last year.
What will ba when completed the
most superb block of flats in the world
Is rearing Its head above tha traffio of
busy Piccadilly on the site which waa
occupied by tha town home of tha lata
Duke of Cambridge, at the corner of
Park Lana, London. The building occu
pies a lot about the alse of an ordinary
residence lot In Portland and Is to be
hut seven stories high, yet will cost
when ready for Its wealthy tenants
more than 8J.000.000. Two yeara have
been spent In the work of construction
and now the exterior of the magnificent
structure Is attracting more attention
than anything of the kind in London.
Its front Is of dull white terra cotta
with egg-shell glaae and tha requisite
touch of color is given by tha relieving
courses of green.
Not only is it the most expensive
building of the kind in the world but
It will also command what Is believed
to be the hlahest rental of any like sixe
living apartment in high-priced Lon
Hnn The entrance to tha six upper
floors is on Park Lane, where tha resi
dents will enter a spacious vesuouie
and proceed to the apartmenta by ele
vator. Jfiacn rioor is a n-on-aini
ful It eouiDDed with every mod
ern luxury, palatial in situation and cir
cumstances. . . , .
Tha flats on the first. Second, third
and fourth floors each possess 18 rooms.
with kitchens and domestic offices on a
corresponding scale. There are II bed
and dressing-rooms, three bathrooms,
a iirawinr-rnnm ana oouaoir wun aim
ing doers, so that they may be formed
into a ballroom: a dinma-room. uorary
and billiard-room, and these apartmenta
are approached by a noble hall 88 feet
long and wide in proportion.
Theae are the suits for which tenants
will be asked to pay 115,000 a year, ap
proximately, in addition to tha rates
and taxes. On the fifth floor a rather
smaller flat, with only nine bedrooms
and four reception rooma. may ba had
for $10,000 a year rent and the sixth
or topmost floor has an estimated ren
tal value of S7.500 a rear.
The internal fittings have yet to be
completed, but the worit is being nur
ried on and In two or three months,
the most elegant and expensive private
apartments In London, If not in all
Europe, will be ready for the waiting
tenant who can afford to pay at the
rate of about $100 a month for each
room in his apartment While such ren
tal ia fairly staggering to the average
American, it must be remembered that
those who live in these apartments will
have at their command every conveni
ence which modern enterprise can pro
vide and modern weaitn pay ror.
