DEIMUL AT THIS TIME. lVogroHs Industrially Building Permit of tlio Sunuiicr Months Are Fur in Excess of tlio Previous Summers. That Portland, Oregon's great, throbbing metropolis, la making vital - progress In every way la emphatically shown from the commercial and In dustrial reports of the summer, The Oregonlan Buys of the building and shipping activities of Portland Portland's industrial and commer cial growth knows no stopping. The opening month of the "quiet sum mer" season, universally complained of elsewhere, shows only Increased activity here. Ante-election rumors that business contest Is over have no place locally. Even the pessimist finds himself without fuel for complaint when con fronted with a review of trade condi tions for tho. month that ended yes terday. These figures reveal, In many particulars, a healthy Increase not only over the business for the month a year ago, but over that of any month during the year. The stability of tbia city commer cially finds further convincing proof . In the active movement of real es tate at good valuations. During the last six weeks nine pieces of business property, representing an aggregate consideration of $1,346,000, 1 have changed owners. In a majority of Instances the buildings now standing on the proporty will be replaced by substantial business blocks. These sales have served to give the market an Impetus, although there haa not been a noticeable lull In real estate circles for months, it is an unquestioned fact that the real estate market In this city never was more stab), values more ' positive or the outlook for further brisk movement at the same satisfactory values more bright. These recent large deals have had the effect of further strengthen ing 'an unfailing confidence In prop erty values and the city's future. During the 26 business days of July the real estate transfers show the' sale of property carrying considera tions aggregating over $1,600,000. or an average of $60,000 a day. These figures Include only the actual con siderations reported In the deeds, so that the total could bo Increased by fully 20 per cent and not misrepre sent the true market value of the land transferred. That would bring the total of the month's transfers practically to $2,000,000. The largest Individual deed Includ ed in these figures was that recording the purchase by Theodore B. Wil cox of the Yeon property, corner Seventh and Stark streets, for $160, 000. Penults for 458 Building. Building permits Issued during July numbered 458 and represented improvements aggregating $1,038, 360. This was the record month for the year. For the same month in 1907 only 373 permits were issued for Improvements amounting to $760,-671 t ;nciuaej m last month's permits were applications for eight founda tions for business blocks. Of tjie eight, four are to be 10-story build ing. The permits covered only the laying of the foundations, the con tractors deferring the master of se curing permits for the supcrstruct ures until the Initial work of con structing the foundation has' been finished. An Idea of the activity in building In this city Is furnished by reference to the records In the office of Build Ing Inspector Dobson. .During the first seven months of this year build Ing permits have been Issued for Im provements aggregating $5,690,945 The record, for each month was as follows: Const ruction Work by Montlis.

Presently bis eye alight ed on a small boy who was being rush ed from counter, to counter in tow of a very large woman. Just as be look ed down at the boy tbe boy looked up at blm.

For a man wltb no Intention of spit ting on that particular boy or any one else the situation was certainly awk- wark, and the man retired lo red faced confusion. New York Timet.

No New Kansas Wliont Grade. The Kansas grain grading commis sion refused to create a new grade for nard turkey red wheat. The Kansas millers wanted two grades of hard and winter wheat, one for the dark color ed, which Is a better milling wheat, and sells for five cents more on the bushel, and the other for the lighter wheat. The gralnmen mix the two kinds of wheat.

The commission adopted the following rule: "Wheat any part of which has been subjected to scouring or to any process equiva lent thereto, or containing mors than one-fourth of 1 per cent of rye shall not be graded higher than No. 3."
