Another building proposition of huce
proportions that developed this week
Is the proposed ten-story structure for

Washington streets. This building will
have a frontage of 100 feet on Wash

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

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.

The Open Air (sanatorium is
going through a general over-
hauling and In about three weeks
will present a new face to the
public. 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

of a higher water rate, as Bourne ls
