TWO MILLIONS PAID
FOR OLD LADD FARM

Portland, April 26.-Frank F. Mead
and Paul S. Murphy, of Seattle, and
Charles Henry and H. R. Burke, of
Portland, have completed one of the
largest real estate transactions in un-
improved real estate ever recorded in
Portland, purchasing 462 acres of land
known as the Ladd estate, in the heart
of the East Side residence district.
This property has been held in equity
since 1889, or since the death of W. S.
Ladd, the former owner, who be
queathed it to his heirs to be held in
tact for twenty years.
That period has just expired, and
the executors believed that the top
price of real estate for that district
was named when the syndicate made
an offer for the entire plot. The price
paid is approximately So, 600, O00.
The old Hazlefern farm, more COM
monty known as Ladd's field, is with
out buildings other than the old farm
house. stables and outhouses. The
farm has long been celebrated for its
blooded stock of dairy cattle. The
property was acquired by the late
w. S. Ladd some thirty-fve years ago,
and not a lot or portion of it has been
disposed of since that time. Except
for the putting through of several
streets the property has not been i'm.
proved since it's former owner died.
The new owners intend to cut the
property up into building lots.

WESTERN ROADS DON'T LIKE
DICTATION OF HARTMAN

New York, April 26.-Western rail-
roads are growing FESTIVE under the
dictation of E H. Hartman, who for
years has forced them to make the
same freight rates from the Middle
West and from the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast as are made by the rail-
roads from the Atlantic seaboard.
An agitation has been begun which
may result in freeing the Western roads
from the Hartman yoke, which they
assert has caused themsto bleed at every
traffic pore for many years in order
that the integrity of the Hartmann
through coast to coast water and rail-
route may be preserved. That which
was q feeble protest a few months ago
is rapidly growing into an insistent de-
mand that the present method of max.
ing transcontinental freight rates be
abandoned for a method which the in
terstate commerce commission has de-
clared to be imbued with more traffic
gsense.

SUNDAYS
DEFINITE DECISION BY Elk.
POSITION EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.
Following Former Policy Govern
ment Buildings Will Be Closed.
Management Believes Open
Sunday Is in Accord With the
Wishes of Majority of People.

The Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
will be open Sundays. This was de-
initely decided at a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the fair. Be-
tween the hours of / o'clock in the af-
ternoon and midnight on Sunday, every
DEPARTMENT of the exposition save the
government buildings will be open to
the public. It has been the policy of
the government to close it's buildings
over Sunday and..the rule will not be
deviated from in this case.
The executive committee has had
the question of Sunday opening under
consideration for months. Religious,
civic and fraternal bodies have partici-
pated in the discussion of the question
and various views of the matter were
put forward. While the executive
committee has long believed that it
would be advisable to open the fair
Sunday, they are now also convinced
that the majority of the people are in
favor Of the action taken.
The committee was advised by legal
counsel that if the gates were thrown
open on Sunday, the amusement places
on the Pay Streak would have a right
to run It was pointed out to the COM
mittee that under the new criminal
code, theaters, news and cigar stands,
restaurants and places selling cooked
food we're permitted to operate on
Sunday. Although the exposition has
reserved certain rights of supervision
in it's contracts with the concession
aires, there was nothing in the agree
ments which gave the officers of the
fair authority to close the Pay Streak,
once the crowds were admitted to the
grounds.
One feature of the pay streak will
be eliminated on the Sabbath day and
that is the man in front of the amuse-
ment place who noisily calls attention
to the attractions within. For one
day in the week the crowds will not be
amused by the Darker" So long as
all the concessions observe this rule
there will be no objection from the
individual concessionaires.
The committee in setting the hour
for Sunday opening at l O'Clock de
sired to give everybody who wishnd to
attend church services ample Of, g-
tunity. On the grounds the auditor
ium will always be available for sacred
concerts or lectures.
While the exhibit palaces will be
open on Sunday afternoons, the individ-
ual exhibitors may do as they please
.lconcerning their displays. If they
remain closed over Sunday there will
be no objection from the exposition.
All that will be required will be that
the booths be kept clean and in order.
During week days the exhi0it build
ings will be kept open from 8 a. m. to
6 p. M. The grounds will be close
at midnight.
At the meeting of the committee it
was also decided to go on with the
work of improving the natural ampi-
theater on the grounds. According to
the plans the a%mpitheater will seat
IL, 600 persons.
