FAVOR A STREET CARNIVAL
Journal Special Service.) '
SALEM, April 80.-Salem has definitely
,' decided to have such a celebration on In
dependence day as has never been seen
in the; Willamette valley, and now a large
number of the business men of the city
are declaring in favor of the .festivities
' taking the form of a street carnival. The

:. ing with the greatest success in their
i efforts to raise such a sum, as will make
the occasion one to be long remembered.
: The street carnival idea is taking strong
hold, and there Is now every reason to
believe that the display will take that
form during the day, the whole entertain
ment to be rounded off wjth a grand
pyrotechnic display in the evening.

lowed by winding of the Maypole, by the
school children,, who will have a half-hol-iday-
for the occasion; an address on

by uniformed ranks from Portland, Initi
ations and a great banquet.
Five hundred trover have been spread
hand it is expected that the tables will
have to be reset to accommodate all the
hungry "choppers" and "chopperesse."
This will be one bf the largest, If not the
largest banquet ever given In Oregon. It
Will be entirely without charge t the
visiting members of the order, and is ex
pected to prove to them that no city in
the Northwest can outclass The Dalles in
genuine hospitality.
The weather indications 'are the most
favorable. At thla season ; of the year
good weather can be depended on at The
Dalles almost to a, certainty. A good rain
yesterday baa put the streets in perfect
condition, when it was feared they might
prove too dry and dusty. .',
Altogether, : it looks as though The
Dalles, was going to prove a formidable
rival to Portland and other large cities
of the Northwest In carrying on success
fully a great fraternal demonstration.

MAYBE THIS IS THE TRUTH
Reference has been made through the
. ?4 columns of the Journal to the recent pur
chase of a considerable quantity of prop
erty on the East Edle both north and
south of Inman .& Paulsen's mill. The
O. R. N. Company positively and au
thoritatively denied that these purchases
were being mad In Its Interest Presi
dent Hurlburt ot the Portland City A
Oregon Railway'' Company - denied that
his company had anything to dd with the
matter. Then 'it was reported that ' the
Southern Pacific was the purchaser. Man
ager Koehler of the latter company said
this morning that the Southern Pacific
Is not Investing In any real estate in the
territory described. He was very posi
tive in his denials, too.'
A certain perfectly disinterested man
stated to the Journal that deepite the
denials of the officials of the Port
land City A Oregon Railway Company
it was his firm conviction that It was the
purchaser of the property in question. In
explaining his belief, he said:
, "It' is my .opinion that these tracts are
being purchased by the Portland City A
Oregon Line In the names of other par
ties.';' I believe that that line seeks an
Outlet for Its freight from the Clackamas
near Oregon City and is acquiring the
property now before it appreciates in
value. It can Improve its service on the
passenger line, ' probab y and et more
business for freight traffic with a line
simply devoted to that alone. ' Such a line
would prove a paying Investment."

Si
A fashionable audience sat 'fascinated
through four acts of The Cardinal at
the Marquain last night Despite the
downpour, there was a show of dress,
and th. buds of fashion- never looked
prettier. Mr. Willard, accustomed as he
is to gaily bedecked, audiences, must
have felt complimented at the display, '
And,, after all, It was not so tnuoft a
matter of gowns, but the people in them,
that should make the noted Englishman
feel good. Portland; most prominent
men and women , were there, find well
they were. They haven't had th. op
portunity of hearing and seeing such an
artistic performance In years.
Had there been six or eight acta of
The Cardinal the Interest would have
been jiist as keen, and n.body would
have gone to sleep" or left the theater
There was not a single mutter of disap
provalno discontented flings at the final
fall of the curtain. Mr. Wlllard's acting
is ' the exceptlon it pleases, fascinates,
snthralls.
' Too often a superior play is ruined by
incompetents who llbelousty call .them
selves actors. ' In The Cardinal,' the actor
Is far abova the play. After ill, does
The Cardinal in itself amount to any
thing? True, It Is carefully "put togeth
er," exquisitely staged and .well written.
The reading Is good, the costumes attrac
tive, but the merits of the play Itself
lacklng. What a pity It couldn't have
been equal to the genius of Jts inter
preter! There is nothing new In The Cardinal.
How could there be, when the plot takes
us back to 1S10T But who hasn't aeen
a hundred stage murders Ilk. that of the
opening actT Good, Yef but hundreds of
years old In 1510.
But the actlng-now, that's worth mw
tlonlng. Such genius aB Mr. Wlllard's
can always save a play like The Cardi
nal. . More such dramas have died for
want of real actors than the world -will
ever ' know, . and It Is oh! so refreshing
to see even a comparatively, good piece
like The Cardinal Interpreted by the su
perior talent of Mr, . Willard. He must
be given credit for making the play what
It k. '
Mr. Willard says that long ago ha was
on. of the heavy, deep-voiced villains of
lurid melodrama. He admits -the stag
reputation of killing more innocent peo
ple than any other Englishman, and for
a time he couldn't get stags employment
except as a villain. London wouldn't
have him anything else until lie visited
us and wisely saw the lack of talent
upon "the American stage. And now Mr.
Willard is an artist, a genius whose
equal is hard to find. He retains a bit

W. K. Yates, a Corvallls lawyer and
Republican politician, says that the can
didacy ot Mr. Furnish is well received 1
Benton County. He claims that Mr.
Chamberlain will get very few Republican
votes In that county.
Webster Holmes, a prominent young

in Marion County Is still growing. '

Plenty of 'building material is to bo

Four brick manufacturershave had their
plants at work for some time, and now a
fifth has entered the field, Altogether
these have burned 1,000,000 brick thus far
this season.
The largest permit Issued during .th
week thus tar j that for the new Falling
building to be erected at the southeast

This will- be a beautiful structure, of

Building; for the Future.
The march of improvement that is on in
th. business part of the city' is very
noticeable.' The tendency "of the times is
to remove old building, which are now
cumbering ground far too valuable to be
thus occupied. There I little sense In
keeping old buildings on a lot where the
land lvalue is steadily ascending but
wher. the rental Inoome must be eon
fined to one or possibly two-story build
ings. -The near future Is likely to see
many more big business blocks take the
places of buildings which have outgrown
their usefulness, arid Which are Indeed
not in accordance with the sound rules
of business experience.
Two building contractors' who come here
recently from Chicago bave purchased
lots within a block of each other, and
will erect homes that will "coat them each
$2,300. They have sent for their families.
The Patton estate will put up . a brick
building at the southwest corner of Third
and Madison streets to cost 11,000. AU
the old buildings on the present site will
be rased to the ground save one, and
that will be moved away.
, Brick Buildings. .
At the. corner of Third and Salmon, the
exoavation for the basement ot T. M.
Richardson's brick building, has reached
a depth sufficient to require the use ot a
donkey engine to remove the earth. The
building is to have three stores on the
ground floor, two fronting on Third and
one on Salmon, and three stories above
0 be, fitted up as an apartment house.
Mr, Rlohardson has had numerous ap
plications from persons desiring to rent
the upper portion as an apartment house.
It is said by one of authority that it a
similar improvement should be made in
the neighborhood by substituting new
buildings for old ones, that 15 per cent
could be made on the investment.
The Lawrence building at First and
Oak streets, is making progress- The
excavation is complete, and the founda
tion walls are. ail lu. A brick division
wall runs across the basement. The
raising of the superstructure will
shortly begin. The building will have
pressed brick fronts.
Now ' that the excavation for the new
Scottish Rite Cathedral has progressed
to completion, the work of laying the
foundation walls, contract tor which has
been awarded ' to E. Ryan, will begin
forthwith.
', Dwelling Improvements.
James Beggs will build a 13,000 dwelling
on East Tenth between Tillamook and
Thompson. O. Andersoft "will erect a
$2,500 dwelling at the northwest; corner bf
Skldmore and Mallory. A. Erickson will
expend $3,000 In making alterations to his
building at the northwest corner of Bec
ond and Burnstde streets. For his dwell
ing on Hancock, between East Nineteenth
and East Twenty-first, Jesse Walrath will
send J3.000 for a dwelling. W.' F. Biles'
new house at Twenty-fourth and Irving
will cost 5,000.
A well-known dealer In real estate said
the other day to The Journal: "The
City of Portland is -now advancing to a
degree never witnessed here before. This
is not a real estate boom to come in In
one year and to depart in less time than
it came. This is a progressive movement
that Is with us to stay. This is plainly
to be seen when one ODserves tne new
buildings that are being put up in the
business parts of the city especially. It
la the case also in the constant efforts
making toward the Improvement and en
largement of older bunding that - are
being modernized to meet demands of the
public. . .
"In the residence portions of the city
everyone with half an eye can see that
there is more building going on than has
been seen in Portland for many years.
Every building that Is put up to rent
is soon taken, and house-hunters are
nearly frantic in their efforts to secure
at all desirable quarters that are within
reach of their pocket books. It is getting
harder all the time to find a house be
cause there are constantly arriving here
from the Earn and other points, persons
who Intend to make Portland their home.
It is to fee hoped that the demand will
continue and that th city may continue
to enlarge in numbers and In homes be
tween now and 1905 the date of the great
Lewis and Clark Fair, Should Portland
still continue to grow until that time it
can take care ot all sight-seers and all
pleasure-seekers." "
Prices Increasing.
Nets Reed,, of N. L. Rosenthal 4 Co,
said: . "There is a general advance in the
prices of realty, both city and suburban,
and a greater demand; with a etteady In
crease, in the prices ot outlaying acreage..
W. npte an increased inquiry- for Wil
lamette . Valley lands, wholly or . partly
Improved. There is also an Increasing
demand, for timber lands available to the
Portland market. The demand for homes
Is simply out of sight" v . . ,
D. L. Pursel "I find the Inquiry active
In all directions. Especially is this so in
farm property. New-comers seem to be
looking for available land in every direction,-
They, are asking for pieces of from
10 acres up to Jarger tract I have re
ceived, inquiries for tracts of from 600 to
800. 'acres for stock 'ranches. Regarding
cfty property that is In universal demand.

A. A. Lindsley, of the Title Guarantee te

more in demand than business property.
All persons who can afford to do so, are
buying residences on the West Side. Those
who can afford to expend 17,000 to $10,

and erect; thereon a house in accordance

not more than $5,000 to invest Is generally
content to buy such a house already
built, and It It does not quite uit his
Ideas he will afterwards alter it. to suit
his tastes.
"I think the second choice for property
Is almost anywhere within a mile north
of Hawthorne avenue, dependent, of
course, upon the locality. In some quar

$300 to $500 there are buyers willing to
