Qulte as much construction is now
under way In Portland as at any time
in the history of the city.. This lrv
cludea the lsst half of 18 and the first
half of im, when most of the big of
flee buildings In the city were under
construction.
Not only is It true that there is as
much building now going on In Port
land as ever before, but It is also, true
that In all classes of construction there
Is a notable Improvement as) to the
character of the buildings going up and
the buildings are much handsomer, more
substantial and cost more money.
For, the first time in many months,
August building reoord shows a decline
from the same month of the -previous
year, but. It must be remembered that
August. 1(10, was a reoord breaker, so
far as new construction Is concerned
here,
Yolnane of Jrmlts.
The volume of permits issued that
month, amounted to more than $2,500,000,
whioh was $1,000,000 in excens of any
previous month In the hfetory of the
city. The sting of this first falldown
is also largely taken away by the fact
that August's volume of new construc
tion calls for the expenditure of -more
money than that of any previous month
this year.
Of the $1,700,000 In permits issued
laat month, betwees $900,000 and $960,-
ooo will go into' the building of new
Homes.
While the figures for other coast
cities are not at hand, it Is believed
that Portland will lead all of them by
a comfortable margin. Portland's total
will easily double that of Seattle and
will lead Los Angeles and Ban Fran
Cisco by $100,000.
Postal receipts for August amounted
to $79,481.98 as compared with $74.
(76.43 for August one year ago. Tha

Is practically $400,000, which is equal
to a gain of nearly, 26 per cent. For
more than a year the monthly total of
real estate sales as shown by the trans
fer record, has been less than that of
the same month of the previous year.
Realty brokers look upon the fact that
the August realty otals show a gain
as an indication of a healthier market
and a good business this fall.
That the general business situation
Is good Is shown" by the volume of bank
clearings, which amounted to $44,877,
626.66, while for the same month one
year ago, the clearings amounted to
$41,649,702.94. Tha increase of nearly
$3,000,000 la equal to a gain of 6V4 per
cent Portland is the only coast city
that haa shown a continuous gain in
bank clearings throughout the year.
Increases All Along Line.
In every lino of development Port
land has made a substantial Increase In
every month so far in 1911, and there
is every reason to believe that the !
record for the remainder of the year
will be equally as satisfactory.
Landmarks and oldtlme breathing
spaces In the central section of the city
are rapidly giving way to tho demands
of business. The continued call for new
structures of every kind within a radius
of a mile from the retail center means
the inevitable filling up of every build
ing site in this district.
Among the large permits Issued dur
ing the last four days of the month
were two public school buildings of the
fireproof type, to cost In the aggregate
$115,000. Ono is to be a reinforced
concrete structure at East Ash and Six
tieth streets, which will cost $65,000,
and tho other vlll he the same class
of building to be erected at East Fifty
seventh and Thompson streets, to cost
$50,000.

A permit was Issued Monday to R.

WHEN UMATILLA
In the Good Old Days the Pioneer Hotel of The Dalles Entertained All
Prominent Men Who Traveled Through the Upper River country;
Old Register Has Been Exhumed.
By Leroy Armstrong.
Did you ever stop at the Umatilla
house, in The Dalles, in war tlmes2 If
so, your name is in an old register of
that hotel for the years 1$82, 1863 and
part of 18(4, which recently came into
my - hands.
The hotel has lost some of the glory
of that olden day when transportation
was almost wholly by river, when the
Spray, and the Okanogan, the Nez Percd
Chief and the Oneonta plied between
The Dalles and the Impassable rapids
at the Cascades; but it is a big house
yet. . - .
The clerk doesn't wear diamonds in
his shirt front; as did his predecessor,
in the days when The Dallea waa a
station on the highway to the mines be
yond Boise, Idaho, when there was a
fort at Walla Walla, and when Yamhill
county was a bigger realm than some
states. And there may be lack of splen
dor in the dining room, and some
changes in the appearance of the sleep
ing apartments, but through all the
vein the bisr house his held Its old
name. And, there is a certain dignity in
. . .. .. .
its stoic reserve, its calm contempt of
thd modern, its mute protest against
the thundering trains that have helped
jio vastly In changing First street and
the landings.
Sent to the Borap Heap.
That old register is an interesting
book. And there are not many men of
early Oregon activities whose names
are omitted wholly from Its pages. It
is a scrap book now. ' Messages of pres
idents conceal many an entry.. There
are bits of vagrant poetry--newspaper
verse deserving preservation; and oc
casional directions as to the best meth
od of canning peaches.
Brlgham Young-, in the height of his
glory, was a guest at the Umatilla
House, December 19," 1862; and he wrote
after his name the statement that be
was "bound for Salt Lake."
In those days a little railroad was
operated from The Dalles to Celllo, be-
Jaw which point i are rapids ' defying nav-
iBKuyfi. rium icmu to uxnauiia trav
elers again took to the river. Those
going to the Idaho mines then made
portage to the Snake, and up that wind

days the names of Captain Farnum,
George Phfer. Pat Kane, Frank Coe.
"Cap" Ankeny, and Captain John Dor
eey were familiar throughout the re
gion we now call tha inland empire.
They "ran the river." And while some
of them held firm to the fortunes of
R. R. Thompson, the Vanderbllt of the
Oregon country transportation, some
cast their lines with opposition boats
and at least one or two of them proud
ly registered connection with the "D.
& p. railroad,"
Customs Have Changed.
"Lady and gent" Is a common entry In
the old register, while "and lady" is
a good deal more frequently found fol

Sory of two prunes gives striking object lesson in agriculture.
Two prunes from the Willamette val
ley were photographed last week by the
Willamette Valley Irrigated Land com
pany Of which E. L. Thompson. Port
land banker, Is president, to illustrate
tha value of Irrigation. .
The big prune was Irrigated, the small
one was not. The Increased yield repre
sents not more prunes to sell,- but bet
ter' prices, for big prunes sell at 714
cents a pound, : while the smaller ones
bring only b cents a sound, and this
difference in the terms of thousands of
pounds means much to net profits, the
growers say.
"What Is done In ths case of prunes Is
done with every sort of .crop," said Mr.
Thompson yesterday. : "Water is king.

HOUSE WAS YOUNG
relation of "wife." But that was more
due to the custom of the times than
a lack of morals in traveler or an In
difference of rule in the Umatilla
House.
Judge William's name appears on
many pages. Oregon's grand old man
seems to have done a lucrative law bus
iness at The Dalles in the days before
he became a power in politics. "John
H. Mitchell, Portland," is another name,
always found about court time, always
sure of a good room; and almost always
with" a supplemental "and guest," prov
ing popularity and the habit of making
friends. He was the same John II.
Mitchell who whatever befell him
became a senator of usefulness In Ore
gon. Once he left the notation, "gone
to Boise," indicating that legal busi
ness may have made some changes In
his plans.
Foreigners as Quests.
"Three Mexicans" is one entry In
the clerk's hand; and the trio was sent
to a room on the top floor. But there
are other foreigners, and of greater
distinction, as: "Contedo Castillotrne,
Major A. de Veccdy, and tw.o servants"
abundantly testifies. The count and
his friend, however, were forced to be"
content with one room though still a
very large room, on the second floor,
while the servant went to a less desir
able apartment at the top of the house.
And "Lord Brlngham, of Edlnburg,"
mingled with the American nobility.
There were many army officers, as
guests, for in that early flay a 16rt was
maintained at The Dalles, one at Walla
Walla, another at Boise, and Vancouver
contributed Its quota. And the sug
gestion of the war in the south is found
In the registry of "Sergeant Co. D,
Washington Volunteers, and three re
cruits, en route to Vancouver." He
probably was noma on furlough, with
authority to secure enlistments. But
how did soldiers gef from Vancouver
to the firing line?

Indians Entertained, Too.
There was- an Indian council at The
Dalles In June, 18(3, and Lawyer, a
noted Nes Perce chief, with Captain
John, represented the red men's case.
Hale, Whltmarsh, Howe, McElroy,
Hutchlns and Wl riser seem to have han
died the Caucasian side. I wonder ff
that Captain John is the later Captain
Jack who made much trouble for the
nation and some final high air danc

southern Oregon In 1873.
It was a day of primitive things of
mines, and first hand conflict with na

and deserted by the Bhapers of history,

Where s Bend, Oregon?
That's a question you hear on the streets of EVERY city and
town in the northwest today. BEND is in Central Oregon, that
vast area which for 50 years has been waiting the coming of tha
railways, and which tha Hill and Harriman railroad systems spied
out five years, ago, and aince then they have spent over TWENTY
MILLIONS of dollars constructing railroads up the Deschutes
Valley to reach BEND.
BEND is the geographical center of this area, larger than any .
THREE NEW ENGLAND STATES, rich in resources of Timber,
Farming Lands, Water Power, Grazing Lands, and climatic advan
tages, which, if supplied with railway facilities, would attract tba
people, develop the resources and pay dividends on the millions
invested. The railroads are .NOW almost completed, as the first
passenger train will arriwa at BEND within six weeks or less time.
