12 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND; SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 24. 1003. U 11 "1 THOUSANDS OF NEW furoaceSe . HOMES BEING BUILT Good Activity In Eesidcnco Districts Now Greatest in City's ; ; HistoryTen Dwellings Completed Each Day Is ; : Average for Months Past. A careful review of the local build . ing aftuatlon brings to light the fact that the number of new homes under construction la greater by far than a any time previous In the history, of Portland. . While the real eUte brok era and operators are enjoying more . prosperity than at any tliae alnce the drat of the year, there la no denying the fact that building operations, espe cially of new homes, have a long lead over the real estate bualness. ; Just how many new homes are going : up In Portland and suburbs It would "be . difficult to estimate, but that they are ; lesion can be demonstrated by a short car nue in ur uiitouvu w uwuni Just completed or under construction, are to be seen everywhere, and the sound of the carpenter's saw and ham- mer is beard in every cua-rici. n jmou It is doubtful If there Is a street in Portland on which a new house le not going up, while on most streets they ran be numbered by the score, snd there seems to bs no and to the bulld Inff astlvltv. - . The dally average of new dwellings completed has not been less than 10 for months past, while for October, as . indicated ty. tne numoer 01 permiia is sued, the number of newly completed : residences wUl be nearer IS for every , work day In the month. These figures " refer fb building operations Inside the .-city limits, and take no account of the extensive ouuaing in prugreaa iu Mount Scott district, nor In ths terri tory on the lower Peninsula, including St. Johns and the packing-house dis- ConAdens of the Tutors. The - impression strongly prevails among Ml classes that Portland is des tined to be a great, big city; that it will in a few years spread over all the ter ritory now served by the lines of the street railway company, and that no mistake , can be made IS buying and building anywhere between Lents and , fit. Johns, ana council vjreisi ana me eastern confines of the Montavllla and Rose City Park districts. During the first 20 business days of October 300 building" permits were Is sued, calling for an expendituro of $900,000. , If the same record is kept up for the remainder of the montn. permits to the value of nearly fl.600,000 will he Issued, which will easily outdistance any other month of the year and ,wlll be more than double the- total of Oc tober, 1907j ' . A surprising feature of the reoent building development is the largs num ber of residences that are being erected without the necessity of the owners borrowing any part of the money used in the construction. One of the largest - operators in Portland suburban prop erty made the statement that, while more -houses are going up In additions controlled by him than for months past, he has received fewer applications for bullriin ' loans. sThe dally record or .. tween Killings worth avenue and Alns worth sireaL.

' t'actorv buvers are not plunging but continue disposed to sitim tne mar ket for what stock they need at the best available prices and trust to the continuation of present conditions for enough lumber to carry them through the winter months. The aggregate of this small trade is even under present conditions almost, if not quite, equal to the normal consumption of lumber by factories, the difference between tha nrpsent and the normal situations being that factory buyers are not car rying as many millions of feet of re aerve stock as usual. Stragsrling rail road Inquiries continue to appear, most ly covering car , repair material.

This quarter block was purchased last week by A. P. Morse, who at tha same time contracted with the B. 4 0.r T. company for' ths erection of a suitable building for Us occupancy. " .

Following I is i an extract from William Jennings Bryan's recent speech before the Nebraska university, in which Mr. Bryan repudiates the insinuation by Gov ernor Hughes that he (Bryan) would consider a pat ent a monopoly which shoiildbe abolished: ' ' ' ' "He takes the case of a patent and says that our plan would interfere with patents. What is Mr. Hughes trying to do? '. Is he deceived himself, or is he simply trying to deceive those who listen to him? Our anti-trust plank has nothing to do with patents. The patent is intended to be a monopoly, land our reference to patents in another part of the platform is sufficient proof that the convention had no intention of includ ing the patent in the operation of an anti-trust law. I explained this soma weeks ago when the objection was first made, but -the objection was so silly that I did cot suppose that it would be made by anyone with any sense of responsibility. " Does Mr. Hughes really think that our anti-trust plank was intended to apply to a patent, or is he so hard pressed for arguments that he must use that argument anyhow? - A patent grants . a monopoly for a limited time as a reward for an in vention. The trusts that we are opposed to have not invented anything, and they acknowledge no limit as to time. The trusts attempt to corner the market, and . it is cot only against the statute law, but it is an of fense against the common law and an offense against morals, and Mr. Hughes cannot be so obtuse as not to understand the distinction between the trust that we are fighting and a business that is protected by a patent." .
