The building is to bo eight stories hitch and ' has already been leaned to Phil Mt chan and will be used an an annex to the Imperial hotel. The plane for the building are being drawn by w hidden A Lewis and call for a fireproof struc ture of splendid proportions. One of the most gratifying things connected with the announcement of this improve ment, aside from the fact that Fort land Is to have another beautiful Dunn ing on one of Its prominent comers. Is the general satisfaction expressed on inr hn at MInr the most dlprepu- table looking cornerln Portland adorned with a magnificent structure, such as -Mr. Wilcox proposes to build. Another building proposition of huce proportions that developed this week Is the proposed ten-story structure for the flout hens t corner of Sixth and Washington streets. This building will have a frontage of 100 feet on Wash ington street and 50 feet on Sixth, and will displace a lot of old frame build ings scarcely less objectionable than ! tho on ?he M ; : 1 entd n; .!

V'" ' A, , I ?.t$t.:fttt' i :.A. Y . ; f fmamiwr ffflni mem No matter In what part of Portland v one goes, the bungalow Is a , familiar class of residence. A very few years ; ago the bungalow was scarcely known ": -In this country and outside of Kipling's ' stories, or those of some other writer . 'Of Hindu life, the word was rarely ever Been while" now 'there are scores of these comfortable, home-like little dwellings In Portland, and thy ate be coming more popular every day. Scanning the dally record of building permits, a iarge number of permits - calling for one-story dwellings to cost from $2,00 to $4,000 Is noticed. It Is safe to put down a majority of these buildings as bungiwfc, for no other ftvie of one-story dwellings would l.ardly call for so large an expenditure. Some controversy has recently arisen : as to the origin or the word bungalow. The best authority would seem to make It a pure Indian (Hindu) word al- though by some It is claimed to be an .Anglicized Indian word. H. L. Wilson of Los Angeles, Jn a recent number of the Pacific Builder and Engineer, has the following to say of the bungalow: Origin of the Term. "Whether the word bungalow is pure Indian or Anglicized Indian we have been unable to learn, but it certainly originated In eastern India, where it In applied by natives and foreigners to the low bamboo huts with broad pro jecting eaves and thatched roofs used almost universally for the homes of the rich and poor' alike. The adoption Of this style of architecture is founded on very sane and sensible reasoning. "In California no doubt the early Spanish padres had no desire to have tall buildings tumbling on their devoted heads, and for this reason built their houses low and rambling. without, however, sacrificing or abandoning the rather severely plain curves and lines of their old Spanish mission style. The result was quaint and attractive, and, better still, these mission bungalows furnished the text which modern arch itectural skill has amplified and im proved, until today we have the per fect bungalow, a house beautiful In side and out, the very embodiment of home-like coilness and convenience, in expensive, but of refined, elegance, easily adaptable to almost any loca tion, whether mountain, plain or val ley, on the city's narrow streets, or on the broad, shsded village avenues "There is hardly a town or cltv In this land where the bungalow would not prove more attractive and be more admired than any other style of house. Economy With Elegance. "In the bungalow is the possibility Of combining economy in r..st with ar tistic beauty of an almoBt unlimited degree. I find it is a big mistake to adopt a floor plan and th"n endeavor to fit an exterior to it. Many archi tects do this. I know, but the result is never satisfactory, and a house so de signed never is pleasing to the i ve in fact, It usually attra. ts attention only by Its uellness. Concessions most be made, and both Inside and ovit!o details must be modified to sain that atmosphere of cozy el. pnnr1. "Tile bungalow is a radical departure rrom the older style or cottage, not only In outward appearance, but in in side arrangement The straight, cold entrance hall, and the stiff. prim, usually darkened parlor have no lace LET DURIHG WEEK Large Number New Ilomes Going Up in Eesi dence Districts. An unusually large number of small residence contracts, chiefly -one ,and two-story frame cottages, has been let in the past few days. A large majority of these dwellings are being erected In the nearby residence districts' on the east side. Among the more Important residence contracts let this week wera the fol lowing: A $11,000 home for C. FJ. Rum eltn at Thirty-second, near Thurmaji street to U. E.

RESIDENCE FOR Mill THOUSANDS If Huge Apartment House New York Will Cost Millions. in Not content with eclipsing the rest of the country in tho erection of lofty office buildings. New York now comes Into the limelight with the announce ment that arrangements have been made for the building of the largest apart ment house in the world. As nearly aa caH be calculated this enterprise will represent an expenditure of $6,000,000, of whicM the site will cost $2 000,000 and the building $4,000,000. It will occupy an entire city block, and blocks on upper Manhattan Island are no mere acre tracts like those of Portland, but are nearer two acres In area. One of the main features will be a huge central court, giving every room in the enor mous structure an outside exposure. The block on which this apartment Is to be erected and where excavations have already commenced, is Broadway. Eighty-sixth, Amsterdam avenue and Eighty-seventh street. The frontages are 25 8 feet on Uroadway. zvu reel or Amsterdam avenue and an average of 3S5 feet on the side streets. The builds lnir will not be a skyscraper, however. The plans. It Is understood, provide for only 14 stories. 1 here are to be is elevators, ine Duuaing wm contain ouu rive ana six-room apartments ana in addition several hundred two-room suits and single rooms; housing altogether something like a, 500 people. Plans were drawn and the site ac quired for the enterprise about three years ago, but at that time it was found impossible to consummate the financial arrangements. That the ability to nnance suoh an expensive proposition as this at this time is an excellent Indication of re turning prosperity. It ls understood that a building loan of more than $3,- oou.ooo had to be secured. 0 lilULil If BETTER DEffflP Points in East in Market to Fill Empty Yards.

The old canvas tents which have supplied the needs of the patients heretofore are being replaced by charming, pic- turesque cottages. These cot- tages are built of wood a few feet up from the ground and above that the walls are of can- vas that can be rolled up so as to expose the whole structure to the open air. A light shingled roof will oom- plete the structure. The cot- tages will house. In some cases, two patients. In other cases one. Seven are now under process of construction and with the pros- ; ;ertie nurses' cottage there will he i ight They will make a pret ty, neat picture. In about three weeks the work will be com pleted and then there will be a formal opening with flag raising and speeches by prominent men and th public will be Invited to Teet the quarters and to learn orr.etblng of the work done. Lumber prices are gaining stability, the demand from both east and south having shown a material Improvement during the past several days. This In a largo measure ls due to the settle ment of the freight rate to points east of the mountains. Many yards In the east are poorly equipped to meet fall business. Shipments to California uo bv water and It is said that the demand from that quarter too is Improving. For a long time California has been working off the Immense lots of material that wore dumped there by speculators following the earthquake. As far as the Willam ette valley mills are concerned the San Francisco market continues on an un certain basis, however, owing to the announced intention of the Southern Pa cific to resist the ruling of the Inter state Commerce commission to restore the $3.10 rate on lumber from points south of Portland. Locally there Is a good demand for lumber, as ls shown bv the volume of building going on. the demand for uppers has been particularly heavy and there ls no oversupply of that grade of stock. The sash and door factories are eojoving a good business, some of them running to capacity. Doors in large quantities are being shipped east, some going ns far east as New York. Shingles contlnuo moving poorly at low prices, but It ls expected that they will pick up In ac.cordanra wltn me re cuperating lumber market.

Bourne, who has for some time past been buvlng In stock of the Spring Valley Water company, has been elected president of the concern to succeed Captain A. H. Payson. The change ts thought today to mean that the water company will take a more aggressive attitude In Its fight with the city to compel the legalization of a higher water rate, as Bourne ls known to bo a fighter.
