I
IN LOGGED-OFF LAND
tLarge Tract In Union County
to Be Cleared at Once; -
Country Realty Active.
,
A. syndicate of investors has recently
purchased a square mile of logged off
I land In Union county, eastern Oregon,
' with a view of at once clearing the
I entire tract. A member of the syndi
cate wa in Portland last week buying
a stump pulling outfit for use on the
'land. It is expected that' 150 acres
I will be cleared this winter In time
for the plow in the early, spring. The
land la located on Cabin creek near La
Grande and 1 a part of a 10,000 acre
tract which the same syndicate has op
tioned and will probably buy.
The 800 acre wheat ranch In Uma
tilla county known as the Dellwo
ranch, was sold last week to Idaho
investors.-for a price said to have
been In the neighborhood of (40,000.
What la said to have been the record
price for Umatilla county land was
paid last week by Lowell Rogers, a
prominent Adams farmer, who bought
160 acres for $134 an acre. This land
formerly belonged to an Indian, Nar
clssa Lavadore. There was spirited
bidding for the tract, as many as a
half a dozen people submitting bids
ranging from $106 up to the purchase
price. The land was originally ap
praised at $105 an acre.
Eagles " Are Growing.
Marshfleld, Or., Nov. 16. The Marsh
field Order of. Eagles, at its last meet
ing, initiated 40 new members. This
addition makes the lodge One of the

DAMAGES TO AMOUNT
TO NEARLY $360,000
According to a report ' Tiled -with
tha commissioner of publlo works by
C. F. Fisher, damages to property
for widening East Burnslde street
from the river to East Thirty-Seventh
street will aggregate nearly $360,000.
In widening the street It will be neces
sary to appropriate 146,227 square
feet of the abutting lots.' No assess
ments or estimates of the benefits have

duced when this feature of the work
la completed.

Both Madier and Later Por
tions Gains and Losses Al
ternate,
Characterizing tha building operations
of tha country for the JO months of tha
year ending November as shown by
the monthly reports from the leading
cities, are the frequent fluctuatlona,
As an example of this the figures for
August compared With August one year
ago, were distinctly unfavorable; but
September came forward with a com
fortable lncreuse over the same month
last year. In October, the pendulum
swung back to the unfavorable aide. In
the earlier, months of tha year the
same alternating between gains and
losses was noted.
Reports for October to tha American
Contractor of Chicago, from B6 leading
cities, representing every section of the
country, show a decrease of 14 per
cent compared with October, 1912. with
the exceptions of Pittsburg and Kansas
City, the larger cities of the country
showed losses, while a majority of the
cities below 200,000 in , population re
ported increases.
Some Increases Voted.
Among the notable increases were Al
bany, 114 per cent; Cedar Rapids, 135
per cent; Chattanooga, 65; Columbu
Ohio, 72; Dallas, 89; Kansas City, 72;
Peoria, 82; Pittsburg, 71; Toledo, 115,
The total for the month from 88 cities
was $46,004,118, as compared with $62,
167,800 for October, 1912. Twenty-three
cities show gains , and S3 losses. The
tabulation for the 10 months ending
with October also makes an unfavorable
showing compared with the construction
work of last year.
Comparisons in detail are as follows:

Exterior and interior arrangement of ideal residence.
By Arthur C. Clausen.
Few people can judge distance by
floor plana or by printed dimensions.
and the proper dimensions of rooms
Is always a difficult problem to the
average home builder. Whlla It seems
improbabla at first glance, rooms hav
ing the same dlmepaeens do not always
appear to be of the same size.
Take tf)f example a small living room,
11 feet wide by 16 feet long. Place one
window In the side, one window In eaoh
end and one sliding door not over four
feet wide connecting it to the hall;
a room of these dimensions would ap
pear too small for living room pur
poses, even though it had plenty of
wall apace for piano, couch, bookcases,
easy chalrr ate .
Take a room of the same dimensions
and extend a bay window seat from the
broad side containing three large win
dows, and connect it with the reception
hall by an opening ten or 12 feet wide,
with or without columns, and the room,
while, having actually less wall space
and no more floor space for living
room furniture, would appear to be
much larger in size.
Effect Of Distance.
The effect of distance is a very Im
portant thing to be considered when
planning a home. By placing large
openings between the dining room and
the hall, or the dining room and the
living room, as the case may be, and
between the living room and the hall,
so that upon entering a home one sees
practically all of . it from the rront
entrance, except the kitchen, a sin all
homa with room a of small dimensions
appears to be much larger than it really
is, especially wnen Day winaows nave
been added.
When bay windows do not contain
seats they actually do add to the floor
space.
When rooms are openly connected.
eenectallv when this has been done
to rive a small room the effect or ais
tance. It is best to decorate the walls
and ceilings the same. One room then
has more of the appearance ef being a
continuation of the other rooms.
Thore are some rooms that depend
as much upon the arrangements made
for furniture as they do upon their
dimensions for the appearance or sue,

Portland's Showing Extraordinary.
Portland's total for the month of
October of nearly $800,000 is extraor
dinary, when it is taken Into considera
tion that the building operations of
this city for nearly 10 years have sur
passed Jhose of any other American city
in the .250,000 population clans.

structure will contain not less than 125
two. three and four room apartments
and will have for the convenience of
the tenants, ball rooms, billiard
rooms, servants' quarters, Turkish
baths; "swimmings tanK and all the
latest conveniences. The building Is
estimated to coat approximately $210,
000 ana wm oe xmancea. by eastern

owners Is here' and has retained a lo

working drawings of ' the projected
structure. Tha location Is withheld for

Henry Jennlng, senior member of
Jenning A Sons, furniture dealers of
this city, has returned to Portland
from his fine country estate near
Ashland, southern Oregon. Mr. Jen
nlng comes back mere than ever a
booster for tha Rogue River valley,
Its wonderful climate and remarkably
productive soil. His place Is one of
the finest fruit ranches -in Jackson
county from which he took , an aver
age of 1000 boxes to the acre this
season. Peaches and cherries are the
prize orops on the Jenning place.
Mr. Jenning Is building a very
handsome country mansion bn his places
the house being less than a mile from
the 8. P. depot at Ashland.

position will make the chamber appear
much smaller than If it were placed In
another position. In one position the
bed would cut the room up into pass
ageways, while In another position it
would combine all of the space not act
ually needed for the bed in one place.
Also in the bathroom, the actual size
needed depends a great deal upon the
arrangement of the fixtures.
Kitchen Arrangements.
In the kitchen the arrangement of
tha wall spaces Is everything. Borne
kitchens not more than 9x9 feet are
mora conveniently arranged and have
more In them than others of far great
er dimensions. One of thsT highest
praised kitchens ever planned by tha
writer waa for a flat building (in which
there are 12 of them), and tha ale
was only 74 feet wide by 12 feet long.
A kitchen of this size would, of
course, be too small for two persons
to work In at the same time conren
iently, but this was not contemplated,
for in this instance there was no pro
vision made for servants. When a
kitchen is used as a dining room for
tha morning meal it should be even
larger than the regular dining room.
While rooms can be any size that the
size of the house, and incidentally the
sice of the pocketbook, permit, and
while It must be admitted that the
larger tha rooms are up to a certain
limit the better, the writer will give
what. In his opinion, is the smallest
practical size for each room, with the
rooms in each Instance correctly planned
as to looatlon of doors and windows,
so as to leave proper wall spaces for
all wall furniture which they would
contain. .
lsa of Booms Suggested.
Vestibule, minimum size, four feet by
five feet; reception hall, lowest min
imum, five feet, minimum advised not
less than seven feet; dining room, 10
feot by It feet; or 11 feet by 11 feet
with either size a bay window for
additional floor space Is recommended;
parlor, 10' feet by 10 feet; living room,
11 feet by 16 feet, with wide opening
connecting to adpolning rooms and hall,
bay window recommended to Increase
size In appearance; kitchen, eight feet
by 10 feet, or nine feet by nine feet or
seven and one-half by 12 feet; den, six
feet by eight feet, but seven feet by
10 feet recommended, as lowest mini
mum, since this size permits placing
a davenport in the den, which on occa
sions can be used as an extra bed; bed
room, family chamber, lowest minimum,
11 feet by 12 feet, provided that all
wall spaces are properly arranged; In
dividual chamber, nine feet by 11 feet;
servant's chamber, seven feet by 10
feet; bathroom, six feet by eight feet,
or five feet by 10 feet, according to
arrangement of fixtures; closets can
be very small when necessary to bene
fit tha rooms, but should not be less
tnan 18 Inches deep. Most closets are
too small, and when bedrooms are con
veniently planned, with proper wall
spaces, it Is usually advisable to re
duce the dimensions a little in favor
of the closets.
The above sizes are, of coarse, the
minimum. Larger 6lzes are in each in
stance advised when means will permit.
