perfected by the committee was
agreed to. and then the tobacco sched-

The Bradley amendment permit
ting tobacco growers to sell their
product without the payment of a
tax was agreed to.
The tobacco amendment removed
the tax OF 6 cents pound on the to

Such a cheer as rent the air when

the union station last night. must
have been significant to the 250 or
more ladies' and gentlemen on board
that there was to he something do
ing in Grand Junction for their en-

1t was one of those hearty cheers
that means you are welcome; not
one of those forced explosions that

Brother Elk George Gordon pulled
the train down from Minturn, and

like book, but better, and they put
into it a personal touch that enhances
the natural attractiveness of such a
subject so well illustrated.

assets, by far the greater part is in
vested in first mortgage loans on real
estate; the company maintains mort
gage loan representatives in all the
principal cities of the United tSates.
In May of this year, when George c.
Markham, president of the company,
was in Portland, looking over the city
with a view to making future loans,
he said to his representative that there
was no city in the United States that
he would rather make loans in than
Portland, Oregon, for her future was
assured; Portland was sustained by an
nual staple production, and there could
not be better foundation upon which
to build city.
In addition to the loan to Colonel
Spalding, the Northwestern has also
agreed to make another loan on Port
land real estate for $450,000, and many
others for smaller amounts. This com
pany has regularly been lending money
in Portland since 1894, has never had
to foreclose mortgage, and has never
had default in interest, although its
loans have aggregated millions of dol
lars.

PLANTER SPALDING WILL

BorroWs Half Million Dollars at Five Per Cent
to Construct TweIve-Story Steel
Frame Building.

Portland (Oregon) Spectator.-The
loan recently closed by Colonel z. s.
Spalding from the Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company, for
$500, 900, at per cent. interest, is, per-
haps, the largest ever made in Portland
for building purposes. The money is
to be used by Colonel Spalding in the
erection of his new skyscraper at the
northwest corner of Third and Wash
ington streets, which is to be twelve
story steel-frame class A building. This
loan was negotiated directly with the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company, through W. L. Boise, the local
attorney, and shows Enthusiastically the

wothy. In 1890 he made to the late
R. s. Perkins loan of $4,000 on the
old Perkins Hotel and other real estate.
In 1897, because of the panic, he had
to foreclose his mortgage, and bid in
the property covered thereby, although
he did not want it, at about $205,000
In fact, he was quite distressed that
no one else would bid on the property
the amount due him. He still practical
" owns all the property covered by his
original mortgage; it has paid him large
interest since he acquired it, and is
well worth 100000. Having been at
first forced to become an owner of Port
land real estate, On a recent visit he
was so well pleased with the result
that he decided to acquire more of it.
He therefore purchased the old Ladd
corner at Third and Washington streets,
and when he has finished his skyscraper
thereon, it will represent an additional
investment of nearly a million dollars
Colonel Spalding has had an interest
ing career. During the rebellion he was
a colonel in the Union Army; just after
the close of the war he was sent by
President Lincoln to Honolulu as a
secret agent of the United States to
watch the progress of international af
fairs in Hawaii for this country. Short
ly after that he was made United States
Consul to the Hawaiian Islands, and be.
came very close friend of King Ka-
mehameha When his term of office ex-
pred, the King proposed to Colonel
Spalding that they go into partnership
in sugar plantation, which they did
Afterward the Colonel purchased the
Kings interest in the plantation, and
has since conducted it himself. It is
one of the largest in the Islands, EN-
ploys an army of men, and has made
Colonel Spalding multimilhonaire.
