Plan on Foot to Have Forestry

If the resolutions passed by the
Portland Realty Board are carried out,

that is to be held at San Dleco. In
1115, by a duplicate of the famous For
stry building that. as one of the
, chief attractions at the Lewis and Clark
fair in Portland.
Following a talk before the Realty
Board last Friday by Tom Richardson,
who declared that Oregon should pic
ture Its greatest, resource, lumber, at
this exhibit, a motion was made that
a committee be appointed to take that
matter up, and It passed the board
unanimously.
Another feature decided upon at the
same time, was to plan for a. monster
Portland exhibit at Ashland, the first
town to be - entered In Oregon from
California and the last one to be seen
In going Into California.
The committees which will have
charge of these plans were Instructed
to report as soon as possible, and it
is likely that the legislature will be
asked to make an appropriation to build
another Forestry building at San Diego
and for the exhibit at Ashland.
:- In the remarks made by Mr. Rich
ardson, he declared that by a careful
survey recently made by government
officials, It has been found that Oregon
has 170,000,000 more feet of lumber
standing than was ever before est!
mated. "Lumber will support the Pun.

X Another indication of the , western
tendency of business in Portland Is the
announcement by the Merchant Sav

quarters at Sixth and Washington are
Inadequate and that quarters in the
new Wlllard hotel at Park and Morri
son streets has been leased.
The new quarters, will be occupied
on February 15. Both the first floor
and the basement have been secured by
the bank, which will give much more
room than there is now at the disposal
of the . concern ; and will enable the
bank to better care for the increased
number of patrons.
Under the new arrangement a sepa
rate department. v will be provided for
the savings department. The safety de
posit vaults and the record room will

quarters of the bank have been leased.

City Council grants permit to
make the 1 Northwestern ' Bank
building fifteen instead of twelve
stories as was first planned.
. The past week has been marked with
a most unusual activity in the way of
Duuaing announcements, for within the
past six days, improvements which ag
gregate nearly $700,000 have been an
nounced, and in all but one instance,
worn is to start at once.
The most Important of these Is the
announcement of T. Bf. Wllcoxthat he
is having plans prepared in the office
of Whldden & Lewis, for a twelve-story
steel and terra cotta building, to be
erected at the southeast corner of West
Park and Washington streets, exclusive
ly for physicians. This building will
cost approximately $360,000 and will
be built along the Imea of the present
Wilcox building at Sixth and Washing
ton streets. The interior" arrangement
will resemble the famous Cobb build
ing in Seattle, which is the most elabor
ate and complete physicians' building
in the United States. '
Although the plans are now being
prepared, work on this building will not
start until August 1, for not until that
time, will the leases on the property ex
pire. Immediately after that time, the
work of tearing out the frame buildings,
that now occupy the block, will start,
and eight months after that time, . the
new building is expected to be ready
for occupancy.
i The first floor will be occupied by
a drug store and the balance of the
building will be for phslclans.
Motor Company To Build,
: Second in importance, is the an
nouncement -that work will aoon be
started on an Immense plant for the
Ford Motor company at East Eleventh
and Division streets. This structure
which will be three stories high, with
a full basement, and which Witt measure
75x275 feet, is aw being planned in
the-Office of Architects Doyle, Paul
son ueacn.
It will be an entirely fireproof struc
ture, of steel and concrete, with not
a stick of wood in . its construction
There will be steel frames and window
sashes. The building will cost at least
$200,000.
This will be a branch of the Ford
Motor company of Detroit. The first
floor will be used for the general of
ficea, ! garage and repair department
The second and third floors will be
used for assembling rooms and man
ufacturlng quarters, for parts of the
cars will- be shipped here "knocked
down," and the balance of the parts
will be manufactured here.
, Announcement was made some time
ago, that such a plant was under con
temptation, but on account of peculiar
railroad conditions, . tno pians were
abandoned and not revived until very
recently.
. To Build Por Lawyers.
A building for the exclusive use of
lawyers, is to be erected by the Fidelity
Trust company at the southwest oorner
of Park and Washington streets. Arch
itects Whltehouse & Fotillhoux have
prepared the plans and specifications
for this building and are now receiving
bids on it, while the tenants of the
wooden structures that now occupy the
site of the new building, are making
preparations to vacate.
The slxe is to oe ouxiuu, ana will be

helmer lots, by a group of local capital

appearing building, with heavy granite
base and exterior of light colored faced
brick and terra cotta, the whole to be

There will be one large store room
on the first floor, and 21 offices on the
balance of the floors that can be had
single or en suite. An ornate entrance
has been designed for Park street. The
building will have a steam heating
plant, high speed elevators end a va
cuum cleaning system.

One of the happy, results of the dis
astrous fire which wiped out several
small frame buildings on Couch be
tween ' Second and Third streets last
Sunday, and in which a Japanese lost
his life, will be the erection on Second
and Couch streets, by Alfred Parkhurst,
or a four story store and hotel building.
Architect Robert F. Tegan has been
commissioned to prepare plans . imme
diately for this building. It will occupy
the quarter block at the northwest cor
ner of Second and Couch streets. The
contemplated building will be a brick
structure, 100x100 feet, with full base
ment and will cost $50,000. The interior
will be of slow burning ml a construc
tion. The first floor will be arranged
for stores, and the upper section will
be devoted to hotel purposes.
This structure will be unelaborate.
The rooms are to be large and well
lighted. Several offers to lease the prop
erty have been made to Mr. Parkhurst,
but he has declined all offers up to
date.
A. C. Pike, of the A. C. Pike Tent!
& Awning company, who owned one of
the buildings that was lost in this fire,
will rebuild, with a new and substan
tial building within a short time, but
no definite plans have as yet been
made for this structure.

Attracted to Portland as the most
promising city on the Pacific coast,
Charles & Walters, of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, whose business is exclusively sell
ing banks, and providing banks with
competent employes, has located in Port
land, and has opened an office in the
Yeon building, where he will operate a
branch of the Charles E. Walters com
pany. The location in the west was made
necessary by reason of the unusual de
mand of eastern Investors for banks and
bank connections in the Pacific North
west and on the coast.
The coming of Mr. Walters assures
the success of the business, for he has
been highly successful In the east. He
will bring his family here as aoon as
possible, and will make Portland his per
manent home.
"I traveled from i San Diego to Van
couver, B. C, and I liked many of the
towns that I visited, but there was
something that brought me here, and I
am here to stay," said Mr. Walters.
