Portland's Condition.

The editor of the Grants Pass Courier
writes up Portland, the following being
an interesting part of his article:
Fine buildings, which few years ago
brought rental of from 81 900 to IS, ,O0O
q month now barely earn an income GOV.
eripg the taxes and insurance, aud the
class OF renters that do remain are OF the
shaky and transient order.
The population of Portland has de-
creased fully 25 per cent during the re-
cent years of panic, and vacant buildings
meet you everywhere outside OF the
present favored locality, which is build
ing up daily. Fine residences by the
score are empty and those remaining oc-
cupied are rented at price which hard
ly more than pays the 50 mill tax this
year imposed within the city of Portland.
Last week 500, 900 residence that was
foreclosed on by the creditors, who now
has an elephant on his hands. This was
the Knapp dwelling, occupying an ele-
waited block in the prettiest portion OF the
city.
The writer called on Mr.. Scott OF the
Oregonian. That gentleman was found
in his editorial room in the Sth floor of
the massive building rnd was standing mt
one CT the windows looking out upon tie
wilderness OF city roofs that stretch out
far beneath 20 the Willamette river and
beyond, toward Mt. Hood. Mr.. S., lise
the most of US, feels worried over the
hard times. "Mr. Pittock and myself
have spent the results of so years OF hard
work on this building, and now | wish il
didn't exist" OF course advertising falls
of in such times as these, and thus a
building that does not earn in
terest on its cost looms up all too prom
inently when the assessor comes round.
