CONTRACTS LET AND
Tho one ble happening in the build-,
lng Una. last week was the announce
ment by the Meier A Frank Co. that
the Fifth atreet frontage of tho Meier
& Frank block is to bo Improved with
a is story class A building, at a cost
in excess of $1,360,000. included In
this announcement was the further
assertion that tha 10 story anne
erected by that company at Sixth and
Alder streets five years aro was to
be Increasod la height by two stories,
and that the company has taken a leas
on th Failing building across Fifth
street, where a part of Its mercantile
business will be conducted while the
huge Fifth street structure Is under
way.-
The completion of the 13 story build
ing by tho Meier A Frank Co- to
gether with the additional two stories
on tho 10 story annex, will give Port
land on of th largest. If not the very
largest, department store on. th Pa
cific coast. -
Construction of th new building
will begin about September 1. and It
will be ready for oooupanoy, according
to tne announcement of Mr. Meier, by
May 1, 1816. ,The removal of a por
tion of tho company's business Into
the Failing- building will be started 4n
a few weeks. By May 16, the five
story Fifth street building will be
turned over to the wreckers, and It is
expected that six wetks later the
actual construction of tho new building
will be under way. Tho proposed
building will have a full block front
age on Fifth street and a depth of 100
feet on both Alder and Morrison, it
will be a steel frame, reinforced
concrete structure, and will be" finished
tn the same elegant style as tho 10
story annex at Sixth and Alder,
W. N. Everett, who has buSt aad
sold half a dosea beautiful oast side
residences, has begun the erection of a
$6000 house at 141 Royal Court. Th
house Is to be a two and one half story
frame structure and will be s thor
oughly: modern home.
GOVERNMENT WILL
The department of agrlcuTture at
"Washington is undertaking to teach
the farmers throughout the oountry
how to build farm houses. A weekly
bulletin Is issued by the -department,
containing a perspective and a ground
floor drawing of what Is called an in
expensive and convenient home. This
notion oa tho part of the department
was th result of the belief that the
farm house Is tho -most important
building on the farm, and that money,
if judiciously expended In its planning
and construction, la well Invested.
For th past year officials of the de
partment have been making an Invest!,
gatlon of this subject, and, among oth
er things, this investigation developed
that, as a rule, existing farm houses
ar inconsistent In cost with th value
of th farm and; tha lack of Improvement-
in them Is too often In striking
contrast with the outbuildings and
th policy pursued for several genera
tions with regard to the Astor holdings
in New Tok realty. It has been the
custom of the family to hold fast to
every foot of ground It has acquired
to the metropolis, but seldom has any
of the Astor money gone Into building
Improvements. With, some notable ex
c options, it has been th rul to let
others do th building, and for th
Astor estato to collect only tho ground
rents. The present head of th fam
ily evidently Is of th opinion that
it will be a better policy to Improve
all of tha land owned by th family,
and: thereby collect th additional rv
nu derived from the rents of the
stores, dwellings and apartments.
WAVE PRODUCED AND
CASCADE ARE FEATURES
Tho natatorlum at BavooanPark,
now under oonstruotlon, a drawing of
which appears oa this page of The
Journal, Is to hare several features
entirely new on the coast. The tank Is
to b 60x160 feet In dimensions, and
ooean water Is to flow Into It over a
cascade. A wave producing machine
is to be Installed, by means of which
waves of any size or frequency can
b made to pass ever the surf ao of
tho tank. .
Besidesa large grandstand surround
ing the big tank, there Is to be a fully
equipped motion picture outfit for the
amusement of th guests. The nata
torlum Is to be equipped with all
modern convenlencea The oontract for
the building was let some time ago,
and It is expected that It win be com
pleted not later than July 3.
