IMans for 00,000 Structure in King's Highway Are Be ing Drawn. STAR WILL HAVE NEW HOME. Family Hotel and Ajiartinent House to He JJuilt in West Pine IJoulevaul Keally Tr.insautioiH. Plans are being drawn for a seen-torj family hotel to cot about J3WW). at the northeast corner of Klng"s highway and Washington boulc.irtl Contractors ire now figuring upon the work, but the ar rangements hae not progressed far enough to authorize a definite announcement. It is stated. howecr. that the syndicate bihind the cnterprtec has fully detcrminci to construct a handsome hotel on the lot indicated, and the papers are expected to pass this week. This is the first authentic response to the demand recentl) expressed b w ell-po''cl1 real estate agents for more hotels om ers of the Mercantile Trust, tne Mississippi Valley Trust and the Lincoln Trust hae placed themsehts on record as appmWng the construction of more hotels, properlj located, and built under sound business con ditions. Daid r. Leah of the Lincoln Trust said ic.su.rda that he could not understand whj imestors haie overlookid or delajtd the construction of several lirst-clats boteli, downtown and in the West i:nd. That tni. arc needid Is not questioned The tame opinion was expressed bj IJIackwelder-Hol-brook, Nlcholls-Rlttcr and other prominent firms on "tin. street." While they adiccate the building of a few good hotels, all of them insist that great c-ire and judgment should be exercised in the s-electlon of tltes and plans. "We do not want any temporary eje sores." said Mr Holbrook "Mushroom houses In the neighborhood of the World s Fair grounds should be discouraged Upon a normal basis St. Louis his need of mnre hotels aPd the should be of the right kind." Few I.nrfi) Deal.. Last week's transactions in rcalt were devoid of large deals Tne olume of sales, however, maintained an average, and in the main they were of residence propert. Onlj a few deeds for stores and factor sites were recorded. Special ac'iUty was noted In the suburban division, where building contractors are now finding most of their work. A trip on any street car line through the suburbs will convince a pessimist that St, Louis Is spreading out at a rate never equaled before And the cause of these building extensions is found in the fact that desirable residences anil fiats ire ill taker. The renting lists at the agencies continue at a" low ebb, the demand exceeding the supply. St. I.i.niH StnrN Nptt Home. The St, Louis Star has acquired the north west corner of Twelfth and Olive streets as the site for a future home, and propeses within a short time to put up a hnndsome building to be used by it as a publication office. The growth of the paper, shown hy a steadv increase In ever department, has made enlargement ahsolutel necessar. The present extensive quarters of the paper are at Ninth and Olive streets, to which it moved In April, 1SDJ. The management be lieves that vlth the advent of tho new Post Office on Seventeenth street, the half-mll-Hon C-irnegle library on the site of the pres ent Exposition, and with the active demand for Twelfth street property. In the course of a ear or two. Twcltth stret will be oie of the greatest business thoroughfares of St, Louis. The property selected by the Star Is re garded as admirably adapted for newspaper purposes. The lot has. a frontage of 79 feet on Twelfth street, with a depth of 100 feet on Olive street, running to a wide alley. Mrs Nancy L. Johnson, wife of Doctor B. Johnon. Is the owner of the property, and negotiations have been conducted for several months past b the Star with Thomas G Rutledge. representing Mrs. Johnson, for the purchase of the property. Mrs. Johnson could not be induced to sell and declined all offers, but finally consented to enter Into a ninety-nine- enr leaop with the Star to erect a building that will be a credit to the city. HandHomc Famllj Hotel Plnnne'I. Qn West Pine boulevard, north side be tween King's highway and Euclid avenue, J. W. Thompson will erect a handsome ho tel and apartment house to cost about J200.

Portland, Ore., May 3L The biennial elec tion In Oregon, which will take place next Monday, promises to be the most exciting in the history of the State. The Democrats have made their cam paign almost entirely on State issues, while the Republicans have laid great stress on national expansion, and the re tention of the Island possessions. The fac tional fight among the Republicans of Multomah County, a Republican strong hold, will undoubtedly greatly reduce the Republican majority In the State. If, In deed. It does not wipe lt out entirely, as far as the head of the ticket Is concerned. The Democrats hope to elect at least George E. Chamberlain, candidate for Gov ernor. The Republicans, however, say that rtports of disaffection In the party are ex-. aggerated, and that they believe they can eluct W. J. Furnish as Governor. COMMERCIAL BODIES AT OUTS.

May 3L A serious dif ference has arisen between the New Or leans Board of Trade and the New Orleans Maritime Association over the Inspection of grain exported from New Orleans. For fifteen vears the Inspection has been In the hands of the Board of Trade, which has the backing of nearly all the cereal mer chants and grain dealers. The bis- grain exporters of St. Louis and Kansas City, sixteen In number, want a change, and have declared In favor of the transfer of the inspection service to the MarlUmc Association. The change will be made on July 1. after which date the ex porters say all their transactions will be based upon the certificates Issued by the Maritime Association. The difference between the two commer cial exchanges has reached such an acute stage that some of the Board of Trade rrembera say they will appeal to the Leg islature In favor of a State inspection law providing for a State Board of Grain In- SPeClU.B, 14,; .c tut..... ..... ...1. u-..,.v . - ing into the State Treasury.
