ORCHARD
COMPANY
BEGINS BUSINESS
That the time has come when the
finest and largest apartment houses In
Portland will have to be managed as
such properties are in the large eastern
cities, In the opinion of W. U. Morgan
Portland pionver builder of apartment
houses. ,
i'Portlftftd-capitallsts are now building
a number of very handsome structures
of that class,' said Mr. Morgan, "seml
fireDroof in construction, finished in
hardwood, elegant appointments and
large, commodious apartments.
"The next step," continued Mr. Mor
gan "will be the liveried attendant, who
wttt-'keep new1 at the apartmenlput
ting up the strong arm against the in
trusion of unwelcome guests, book-
agents, solicitors and bill 'collectors.
There is nothing of that kind In Port
land now, but I know of a number of
large apartment houses under construe
tion in which this innovation will in
all probability be put into operation.
Attendants at Doors,
"In these large buildings containing
40 or 50 five and six room apartments,
where 250 or 300 persons live, an at
tendant at the front entrance Is almost
a necessity. In no other waycan the
occupants be protected against unde
sirable callers.
"The system, 6t course, will be an ex
periment here, but since it works well
in the east, particularly among the
higher grade apartments, there is no
reason why it should not be a success
here. We must prevent the rambling
around of tormentors and possibly
thieves in the building, and for this rea
son the system will have to be adopted."
-Another--feature that builders of
apartment houses in Portland would do
well to adopt is the plan of having
servants quarters on the top floor. This
will do away with arranging servants'
rooms In the various apartment where
servants are wanted. Instead of apart
ments, the top floor will be arranged
In small rooms. The tenants of the
apartment. If they want to keep a serv
ant and house her out of the apartment.
may do so by renting one of the rooms
above.
Another Feature,
Another feature, adopted In the east
which has been found to work well, is
an Improvement In the manner of han
dling; hot water. By thfs plan all of the
hot water is pumped to a large tank on
the- roof before sending it down into
the pipes. This Is to provide Instantan
eous hot water always at the same temperature.
while On his vacation In California
recently, Mr. Morgan made a special
study of apartment house construction
and management In San Francisco and
Los Angeles, with a view of adopting
the methods in vogue where superior
to those In use In Portland.
"The larger California cities have
many very fine apartment houses," he
said, "seme -of them costing far mora
than any so far built In Portland. In
the matter of appointments and conven
iences, however, Portland apartment
houses are far ahead of those in- Cali
fornia. I was astonished to find that
very few of suoh buildings In California
have a dumb waiter service to eaoh
suite, a feature that is to be found In
nearly every apartment house in Port
land. The result is that the tradesmen
deliver their goods by way of the pas
sender elevator or staircases and the
garbage is taken care of in the same
way. However, the California apart
ment house builders spend more money
in fitting up amusements for their
tenants than we do in Portland, manv
of the larger buildings being equipped
witn Dimara nans, urge reception hall
and solarlums.
"I found that apartment rents are
from 50 to 100 per cent higher in Cali
fornia than in Portland. In one Los
Angeles apartment bouse three room
apartments rent for as high as $160 a
month. I don't know of a single build
ing here where a three room suite rent
for more than $50 or $60."
New home of Powers' Furniture Company, at Third and Yamhill;, building Is practically completed and will
- - b occupied about April 1.- 5 " - - -t -- -
On Halsey Street, between nrand an'1
Union avenues, F. C. Wasscrman has
broken ground for a two-story frame
flat building containing four suites of
Six rooms each. The permit calls for
an expenditure of $9000.
J. Maraules has taken nut a narmlt
for a, two-storv fmm ntnra anA rmr.

E GOTHIC CHURCH

What is to be one of the handsomest
of the new stone churches in Portland,

terian congregation in Irvlngton. The
