The sale is .scheduled to take place on the prop erty Saturday, December 11. and of ficial of the Laurtlhurst company announce that each parcel offered will be sold to Hhe hlgheHt bidder Without resservatlons. Marketing of improved residence Bites by auction comen is . -unique experl riient in Portland, though this method has been employed with marked success in other uections of the country where estates and holding corporations have been willing tp assume the risk of sacri fice in order to terminate their connec tion with properties. The sale has been entrusted to Barry & Austtn, a Chicago firm with branch offices In the Cham ber of Commerce building. This sale will be of particular, interest because of the character of tbe property involved. Laurelhurst Is One of the most beautifully situated and uniformly developed residential sections of Tort land. Hundreds of thousands of dol lars have been spent In developing ana beautifying the property and it compares favorably with any residential district In any city in the United Slates. WAS STOCK EA5CH Laurelhurst was i platted in 1911' by I"ul C. Murphy, vice president and gen eral manager of the Laurelhurst com pany Th- traut consists of 460 acres bounded by llalsey, East Stark. Thirty aeond and Forty-third streets. The prop erty was formerly known as Hazelfern Farm, a priae stock ranch belonging to William S. Ladd.j I The land was slightly rolling and an area of 40 acres was timbered with giant fir trees. Thirty-one acres of the tlm .bered portion was sold to the city for park purposes and is richer in vegeta tion than any other park in Portland. The balance of the addition was laid out in 2700 homesites ranging in size from BOxlOO feet upward and facing on wlnd- ing avenues, carefully planned to take advantage of the topography of the -tract. -' More than 700 houses have been built in Laurelhurst. and among them are Vnany of the most beautiful residences -1rr the city. Building restrictions In force have, tended to etablize values and no relaxing" of these restrictions will result from Hie method of marketing adopted by the owners. The district is not ex clusively one of expensive homes and Within its boundaries are numerous at tractive bungalows built by owners of moderate means. ; i Paul C. Murphy, vice president and 'general manager of the Laurelhurst company, is a recognized authority on municipal and national housing prob lems. In an interview with The Journal bo stated that the ayction sale of Laurel liurst property has been undertaken to counteract the stagnation in home con struction in the city. "Conservative estimates show that Vorlland is in need of between 2000 -and 3000 new homes," saldMurphy, "and un less building activity is resumed imme diately rents will mount to excessive heights With resulting hardship to peo ple of moderate means. The Laurel- riurst company is desirous ot meemiK every legitimate need of the public and offers this opportunity as a. special privilege to people with home-building ambitions to secure some of the finest locations in the city at one-third to one lialf the normal price. "The high cost of - building materials has been the chief obstacle to home con struction, both during the war and dur ing the post war period," Murphy stated. , "Wo seriously believe that there should be important- reductions all ' along the line of commodities entering. Into the building of homes. In fact th, federal Kovernmtnt has at various .times held out through Its representatives the prob abilities of reductions as the result of the conclusion of the war. The entire country has been disappointed in the fact that instead of material reductions, the buirding of homes today in reality costs as much, if hot more, in some re apects than for the past six years. ; "Impelled by the conviction that this is a critical time in the city's history, so far as home: construction is con cerned, the company has .decided to place on the market 200 choice home cites to be sold by auction,, through Barry & Austin, national experts in this branch of handling residential property. EVERT PARCEL OFFERED i "The auction will bo held on the elev enth day of December, 1920, at 1 p. m., and every parcel of property listed tJ be disposed of during this sale will be placed on the "auction block without res ervation or any opportunity to be bid on by others than legitimate buyers and Investors at the highest prices offered for the individual parcels. "It is granted by anyone familiar with this method of selling that the odds are decidedly irt favor of the buyers. While this may mean an actual sacrifice on the part of the Laurelhurst organization the company feels that the distribution of 200 additional homesites In this addi- tion to the citizens of Portland wUl give added incentive to the building market and add several thousand people to the population of this prosperous district. We feel , it is plainly the duty of large owners of residential property to dis pose of their holdings at this time at euch prices that the high cost of con struction will be absorbed through the reduced prices on homesites. It is ' largely this consideration which has lead the Laurelhurst company to in augurate this proposed unique effort." STRADIVARA PLANT ENLARGEMENT WILL Construction of the east wing -of Hahnemann hospital at East Second and' Hassalo stlets, at a cost of $200,000, will be undertaken as soon as funds are available, according to announcement of the board of trus tees of the institution. Subscriptions amounting to $65,000 already have been received and a drive to raise the balance of the required sum is being arranged for by A. B. Wastell, secretary of the board. The, west -wing of tho hospital, which INCREASE OUTPUT I Portland Company Has More Than 100 Skilled Hands at Work in the East Side Factory. Plans now in preparation call for enlargement of the Stradivara Pho nograph company's plant at East Thirty-third and Broadway and for additions to the equipment and working force which will increase the capacity output of the concern from 50 to 100 j phonographs per eight-hour day. . The Stradivara Phonograph company recently was organized with a capitali zation of $5,000,000 and acquired the physical assets of i the Pacific Phono graph company, which formerly manu factured the Stradiyara instruments. All officers and directors of the company are local men, F. A. Douty being presi dent, F. N. Clark, vice president ; S. L. Eddy, treasurer; J.! T. Thompson, sec retary and managec, and Ira F. Powers member of the board of directors. 100 SKILLED HADS Over 100 highly skilled mechanics are employed at the factory and nine expe rienced phonograph men are on the road for the company establishing new agen cies. General offices of the company are located in the ; Blake-McFall build ing, where samples: of the seven models of the Stradivara instrument are on dis play. A number of new models are being designed for the 1921. season, according to Manager Thompson. Thet Blumauer-Frank Dm? company has contracted for the sail of the Stradivara phonographs in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. A branch house has been established at San Francisco to handle sales in California, Nevada and Arizona and the territory east of the Mississippi river is taken care of by a branch factory with a capacity output of 75 instruments dally, at Coshocton, Ohio. Arrangements are being made with a local exporting company to introduce the Stradivara phonograph into the Orient and special models will be manufactured to suit the trade in New Zealand, Aus tralia. China, Japan, Borneo and the Philippines. BIO FUTURE SEEN : Investigations made by agents of the Stradivara company promise early de velopment of a thriving trana-Paciflo trade. j The particular feature which differen tiates the Stradivara from other phono graphs,, according jto Thompson, is its patented "tone chamber, manufactured from edge-grain spruce. For centuries spruce has been a favorite wood with violin makers and the spruce of Oregon and Washington forests, when properly selected and manufactured, produces a rich, mellow tone with not the faintest semblance of metallic sound. Cases of Stradivara phonographs are NO USE CRYING . OVER SPILT MILK I '.

Yaaca is a comparatively new material in the manufacture, of pho nograph cases. It is Bhipped to Port land from the southwest coast of Africa and ranks high in value among imported woods. It is similar in appearance to Circas ian walnut, but is harder than walnut and takes a higher finish. The Stradivara company has acquired exclusive rights to the use of Okeh rec ords' in the Northwest and they are being used "with wonderful success oh Stradivara Instruments. The Records are manufactured in New York and re leased each month. A spec!) department has been established by the manufac turers for the production of Okeh rec ords in foreign languages to meet the de mands, of export markets being oped by the Stradivara company. Officials of the Stradivara graph company claim that their ments are equal in merit to any other in the market and possess tonal qualities not found in other phonograph. The company proposes to. establish agencies throughout the country and Compete with other nationally known concerns. devel- Phono-instru- President Taylor Advertises Oregon Throughout Country I The record of achievement being estab lished by the National Association of Real Estate boards, under the adminis tration of F.

Contracts recently signed by the treasury depart ment at Washington provide for an ag gregate rental of $140,000 for the build ing. This amount will be advanced by the government to defray the expense of completing the structure, and in ad dition thereto the treasury department will pay the trustees of the hospital $200 monthly. ' The hospital owns the entire block bounded by East Second, East Third. Hassalo and "Multnomah streets.
