One of the most unassuming of the
country's big business men, Maro Klaw,
came euletly Into town last Sunday and
when he left -town Wednesday had con-i
eluded a deal which will result Jn giv
ing Portland another new theatre and
hotel, that will cost to build approxi
mately $300,000, and possibly $100,000
more. . ,
; For a year or more, or - since , the
break between Klaw & Erlanger and the
Cort syndicate, Klaw1 & Erlanger have
been quietly working on a plan to se
cure a theatre cf their own in' Port
land as well as half a doien other north
Pacific coast cities. While in the city
Mr. Klaw announced' that with conclud
ing the dear with the Sweeney Invest
ment eompany for a new playhouse on
the Dekum property his firm .had suo-
oeeded - in getting theatres ,Jn f every
northwest city of consequence, except
Tacoma, thus completing a circuit ex
tending from Butte. Mont, to Portland,
including Vancouver, Victoria, Spokane
and Seattle.;-. ' '
The ; new playhouss will occupy an
8S by 125 foot site at the southwest
edmer , of v-Fourteenth and Morrison
streets,, with the main entrance in the
center of the Morrison street frontage.
It is to be a six story structure, of fire
proof construction, with a seating, ca
pacity of 1600 and will : cost between
$200,000 and $250,000.'
Plans for the building will be pro-
pared in New York by the personal ar
chitect of the Klaw A Erlanger syndi
cate.' It is to bo of the cantilever type
of constructlon--that is, the entire load
will be carried by the outside walls, by
this means obviating the ncoesstty of
supporting columns scattered through
the body of the main auditorium.
Mr. Klaw also took a lease on a 71
by $5 foot ix story hotel to be erected
by the Sweeney Investment company on
the lot adjoining the theatre site to the
south. Tho Klaw & Erlanger syndi
cate do not intend to operate the ho
tel, but took a lease on the proposed

Chartered for the
Occasion ?
- Portland's first modern concrete dock
and warehouse is to be erected on that
part of the waterfront extending from
Stark to Oak streets, the owners of th
property; the Falling sisters and the
Reed Institute, having announced last
week that plans had been completed for
this improvement and the construction
work would begin not later than January.-1.
For some time the owners oi
this property have been making sound-r
lngs to ascertain the depth to which
the foundations would have to go, so ,
that soma estimate of the cost might be
arrived at , After a careful survey of . ;'
tho river bed' the engineers determined
that a cement and gravel foundation
from the concrete wall could be laid at
a. depth of 18 feet below low water at
this point
Whether the foundation lor tho on-
crete piers will take tho form of piling'
or whether the entire site- will have to
be enclosed in a coffer-dam and the
water pumped out and the foundation
work carried on practically dry ground
has not been determined by the engi
neers. The latter system, however, may
be resorted to in spits of Us expense, fot
tho reason that piling as a foundation
for cement piers Is a success only vn
der the most favorable circumstances.
The Portland waterfront is said to be ot
such a naturs as to make it doubtful it
piling could be successfully used ai
this purpose. :-'
Architects Doyle and Patterson a,v
prepared a set of plans for the dock,''
which Includes a superstructure of twe .
stories to be built on tho two story dock,
the upper story to be used strictly fot. .
warehouse purposes. ,
No estimate of the cost of th!s im
provement has so far been made, but 11
is known that it will amount well up .
toward $250,000. . ..
