USE NEW BUILDING AND
THE
SUBLET PRESENT STORE
V- , t , ' -. ' ' '
Olds, Wortman & King Plan to Occupy New-Location
on Upper Morrison a Year From Day Construction,
, BeginsWhat the Billboard Will Tell.
Thero la no longer any question of
the removal, within the. next 18 month,
of the Olds. Wortman & King depart
ment store to a new building that will
occupy "the entire block bounded by
West Park, Tenth, Morrison and Alder
streets. In order to allay further in
quiry as to the firm's Intentions in this
respect, a huge billboard has been
erected on the Pennoyer block on which
the announcement will be made that not
later than March 1 next actual con
struction work will begin on the 200
foot square, five story building.
As planned at present, the big struc
ture will be completed within 12 months
from the date on which construction
begins.
While Olds. Wortman ft King have a
lease on their present quarters which
has three years yet to run, the rental is
so low that no trouble will be had In
subletting the buildings, with the-probability
that a handsome profit will be
derived from the subletting.
The 60 year lease on the Pennoye
block was originally taken in the name
of the Trustee company of Seattle, but
It is now generally thought that the
lea so has been transferred outright t6
Olds, Wortman & King and that the
building enterprise will be handled by
this firm. No definite Information as
to the supposed transfer of the lease
has been given out, and when recently
asked as to the facts in -the-case, a
member of the big department store
llrm refused to either deny or connrm
the report. But regardless of whether
the lease has been transferred or not,
it is now a settled fact that the big
building will be erected. and that work
will oegin on it within the next three
or iour monuis.
BLOCKS MAY HOT
GO BESIDE TRACK
Streetcar; Company Given a
Chance to Protest on the
Belmont Improvement.
Dan Kellaher has found a new ally.
The city executive board was Induced
last night to refer the Belmont street
Improvement back to 'the street com
mittee in order that the Portland Rail
way, Light & power company may have
a chance to protest against being obliged
to lay Belgian blocks on its portion of
that street when the rest of the street
is to be paved with bltullthlc pavement.
The Pacific Bridge company has the
contract, which amounts to SS6.000.
Should the council decide to comply
, with the railway company's request to
DC Bliowca lu pavo lis i ui mo uun-
tract with the same material for which
other property owners pay, then new
bids will have, to be advertised for. In
this event the Bridge company might
not again be the- successful bidder.
Mayor Lane said he thought the lOiii-
fiany had some justice in its claim, as
t was hardly fair. In his opinion, to
expect the railway to put in more ex
pensive material than other taxpayers.
City Engineer Taylor, however, did not
take thin view. He told the board that
it was necessary that portions of the
pavement adjoining the rails should be
paved with such hard material as thr.
stone blocks because the rain would
otherwise seep through apertures and
loosen the street surface. Mayor Lane,
after he had heard the engineer, said
he had not considered that phase of the
question, and so thought It would he
best to refer the question to the street
committee again, and this was done.
While the city may not see fit to
make the company put In Belgian blocks
on Belmont street, it Is said there Is
no room for doubt that It has the right
to enforce this action If It so desires.
City Attorney Kavanaugh has rendered
an opinion in which he states that the
railway company may be compelled to
pave with any material the council specifies.
STEEL FRAME
RISES QUICKLY
Just 10 days' time waa required In
setting up the steel frame work of the
two basement stories and the two sto
ries above ground of the big Meier &
Frank building at Sixth and Alder
streets. When it is remembered that
this Is the heaviest steel frame that
has ever been used in a Portland build
ing and that heretofore at least fiw
days was required in setting up the
frame of one story the rapidity with
which this work Is being done is little
short of marvelous.
A building permit for the Meier &
Frank structure was taken out, on Wed
nesday of this week by the Thompson
Starrett company, general contractors.
The permit puts the cost of the gulld
ing at $450,000. This sum, however,
does not cover the cost of the elevators,
the, heating and lighting plants nor the
special fire Drotectlon annarntun which
will add not less than $200,000 to the
cost or tno completed structure.

THE X RAY
FOUND THE STONES
We have an Important letter from
Mr. Harry L. McDuffee, a member of
ine urm or ri. t;. uewolfe & c:o.. the
Merchant Tailors of the Crocker Bldg.,
San Francisco.
The case was a puzzling one. There
was pain in the kidneys, with a show
ing of blood. He was examined by
seven prominent physicians. The ex
amination proved that the blood was
from the kidneys, and it was the opin
ion of all the doctors that there was a
stone cutting the kidneys, as the least
exerclte caused a showing of blood.
Four X Ray pictures were taken,
three of the four showing a stone about
half an Inch In diameter.
To be certain that it was a stone that
cast the shadow a similar stone and
about the same size taken from n in.
tlent was put under him for compari
son, Dotn stones snowing on the plate.
An operation was about decided upon
when Fulton's Renal Compound was
recommended to McDuffee.
He had been sick and had been un
able to attend to his business for over
nine months, but'.showed improvement
the flvt Week. Within the next ten
weeks the blood and pains ceased and
he went about his work as usual. He
took the treatment about six months
before he considered hitnself well.
Ah showing the correct diagnoses,
McDuffee states that smaller stones
were eliminated about ten vears before
he had this attack. He writes u: "1
feel that I owe my life to Fulton's
Renal Compound, and you can use this
letter in any way that you desire."
This ease was no surprise to us, for
we have had many recoveries In such
cases, although our literature says very
little on this subject. It Is a fact 'that
the writer knows personally of prob
ably a dozen recoveries and without a
single failure. This does not mean
that there have not been failures, for
there may have bean several for every
one of the successes, but it Is Impor
tant to know that so far as our rec
ords go no failure In this class of cases
has been reported.
Fulton's Renal Compound Is the one
used for kidney disease and for stone
in the kidneys.
For diabetes get Fulton's Diabetic
Compound.

Frank Drug Company's
Block Completed.
Three stories of the reenforced con
crete building being erected at Park and
Everett streets for the Blumauer-Frank
Drug company have been completed and
workmen are engages In building the
forms for the other three stories. The
entire concrete frame of this structure
will be completed within 60 days from
the time the first green concrete was
run Into the basement forma.
. The outside walls and Interior parti
tions of the Chinese building at Second
and Yamhill streets have all been com
pleted, and the contractors 'are now at
work on the Interior and exterior fin
ishing work. Next to the Oregon hotel
this will be the mdst pretentious build
ing in Portland owned by Chinese resi
dents. Excellent progress Is being made on
the Rosenblatt hotel at Tenth and Aider
streets, three stories having already
been finished and the walls of the
fourth story are well along toward com
pletion. . The white terra cotta trimming
employed on the Tenth street front of
this structure gives to it a very hand
some appearance.
One of the most rapidly constructed
buildings of tbe type of structures used
for wholesale business purposes ever put
up in Portland is that of the Pacific
Paper company at Fourth and Ankeny
streets. Excavating for the foundation
was begun less than three months ago,
and now It presents the appearance of
an almost completed structure.
ANOTHER GARAGE
READY IN JANUARY
The Covey Motor Car company's new
garage at Sixth and Couch dtreets is
nearing completion . and will be ready
for occupancy by January 1. This build
ing belongs to E. H. Wemme. as does
tne one to the south at aixm ana tsurn
slde streets, now occupied by the H. C.
Keats Auto company. Both are two
story brick buildings and each covers
a quarter block. These two buildings
cover the half block facing 81xth street,
between Burnslde and Couch and were
built by Mr. Wemme at a total cost of
about $76,000.
700i Sacks of Mail Lost.
(United Pre Leased Wire.)
New York. Nov. 28. Seven hundred
bags of mail were lost when the Pan
ama liner Finance went down off Sandjf
Hook Thursday, causing the death of
fonr persons. Outside the loss of life
and the ship Itself, the loss of the malls
Is by far the most serious part of the
accident. It is doubtful if any of the
mail will be recovered. A cargo be
longing to the canal commission and
valued at $12,000 was on board.

S. M. Hauptman, of the fWrn of
Charles K. McCormlrk & Co.. San Fran
cisco, has been in tha city during the
past tew days closing up contracts for
the construction and equipment of a
large and modern sawmill at St.
Helens. The mill will be ready for
operation In a few months.
Chai'es R. McCormlik & Co. have
been buying large quantities of lumber
here and oh the lower Columbia river
for the past couple of years, both for
the California and foreign markets, but
to still further enlarge the business
concluded to erect a mill of its own
with approximately 100,000 feet daily
capacity. It will have a planing mill
in connection, and will have both rail
and water shipping facilities.
The company owns a fleet of steam
and sailing schooners, the steam craft
being the well-known Yellowstone,
Yosemlte. Shoshone and Cascade, which
haveHeen carrying lumber out of this
Fiort nd from mills on the lower Oo
umbia for some time past. The sailing
vessels are the schooners Irene and
Alvena, both of which are tied up for
the present, owing to low freights.
Shows Big Business Expected.
The establishment of this large plant
is taken to indicate that a heavy busi
ness in lumber is anticipated the forth
comfhg spring and summer from 'l
quarters. As far as la known the com
pany intends buying logs In the open
market.
The Benson Logging company, which
has been operating extensively on the
lower Columbia in the vicinity of Clat
skante for a long time, expects soon
to begin the erection of a large saw
mill at that place, although a large
ouantitv of its California customers are
'supplied from material cut at the San
Diego mill to wnicn tne company sejins
each summer half a dozen large rafts
of logs. The San IJH'go plant will
not be affected by the establishment
of the mill here, but on the other hand
its capacity will be increased. With
that object in view the log rafts to be
sent south next summer will be consid
erably largur than those sent away In
the past. Iast season's rafts con
tained on an average of 5,000.000 feet
but next year none will hold less than
7,000,000 feet. No trouble is anticipated
in handling these rafts as the In
crease will be In the length.
Markets Opening Up.
While tha lumber market is not overly
brisk at present, brisk buying Is looked
for with the beginning of the new
year. California has recovered from the
oversupply due to tho wild rush of lum
ber into that territory Immediately fol
lowing the earthquake and the eastern
markets are Inquiring in a way that
Indicates good business next spring and
summer.
Locally the demand continues fair,
there having been but a small falling
off In building operations that usu
ally occurs at this time of year. Taken
all in all the lumber manufacturers
look for a prosperous future. Logging
camps operated by the sawmills are
working full crews while the Inde
pendent loggers have so far confined
themselves to half their capacity output.
MS OF BETTER
CLASS IN DEMAND
J. Margullo has broken ground on
Corbett street, between Flower and
Thompson, for a $3,000 dwelling. The
building is to be a two story frame and
will be a modern, up-to-date residence.
