THE most Important sale of Port land realty of the past week oc curred yesterday, the Seattle billing: company purchasing air entire block on the East Side. The block is bounded by East Stark and East Wash ington. First and Second streets. The consideration has been withhold for the presont, but it is understood that it shows a good advance in realty in this section of the city. The owners of the block were J. E. Chandler, J. 1L Page and P. F. Soden. The transfer is significant, because it means the gaining of another large manufacturing llrnv for Portland. It is understood that the Seattle people will begin to improve the property in the immediate future, and will utilize . the entire site for a large flour milling plant. The block is very favorably sit uated, for. in addition to being close to the water front, it is bordered on one side by the Southern Pacific track and on another by the O. R. Sr N. line. Thus the essontial facilities for ship ping are secured, without the expense of constructing a spur of track. The block which has changed hands is at present divided between three concerns. The Cudahy Packing Com pany occupies a warehouse which is situated on the eastern portion. On the southwest quarter is another ware house, which is used by Pierson. Pago & Company. The northwest quarter is the site of the Spicer-Dalzell Milling Company's flour and feed mills. This plant is Included in the deal, and will probably bo utilized by the new own ers as a part of their large mills. In connection with this sale, it is in teresting to notice that considerable NCtivity is manifesting itself In East Side real estate at present. During the past month a number of important 3les have been made both In river front property and business and resi dence buildings and sites further back. Within the past 10 days several large deals. in addition o that of the Seattle Milling Company have taken place In the district bounded by East Burnslde street. Hawthorne and Grand avenues and the river. The entire block between East Sec ond and East Third streets and Main and Madison has Just been sold by V. A. Avery to T. C Devlin and others. The price paid was $12,000. and within a few hours alter the deal was closed the new owners refused an offer of $15,600. It is reported that the old Logus block, which Is bounded by Union ave nue. East Washington, Eaat Stark and East Third, was sold during tho weok for $25,000. but the name of the new owner is not made public. Recently the Italian Gardeners Associa tion bought the block between Union ave nue. East Madison. East Third and East Main, which will be improved. Joseph Pacquet also sold the block between East Yamhill. East Taylor, Union avenue and East Third. These sales of block tracts in this sec tion of the city show that there is un usual demand for this property. One rea son assigned for this special activity Is (he many street Improvements which are In progress and now being planned for tho East Side. It is evident that the dis trict near the river, where these sales have taken place, is to become an impor tant manufacturing section of the city. Other sales of smaller properties have also been numerous of late. Among these is the sale of the old Riverside Hotel on East Oak street, between Second and Third, to F. If. Powers for JISOO.
