m Canger of Scaring Off Pros pective Buyers of Factory - Sites by Avarice. PERMITS NEARLY DOUBLED Over 400 Issued In February, s Compared With 278 Same Month Iast Yeari largely lor East Side' Dwellings. One of the-. Owners directly con cerned In halng lands in the Colum bia Slough district kept attractive to prospective buyers for factory sites. In discussing; the matter' yesterday, said there was danjrer of the old-time non proHTessive spirit interfering with the present opportunity. He explained by saying that the announcement that iio Swift plant is about to be erected on property north of Columbia Boulevard Is no excuse for holders of lands soutt; and adjoining that property beinir oarried away with the Idea that un reasonably advanced prices may bo secured for those lots. . In the neigh borhood of 11000 an acre, he said. Is not only a fair valuation for the lands, but the price is nearly double' tiiat of a year .ago, and holders ought to bo more than satisfied to make' a turn on such a basis. By raising valuations much beyond the figure named, he contended, prospective buyers would be scared away and the district remain for years unimproved, whereas I owners showed any true' progro'ssive ness they would endeavor not to repel 'prospective builders of factories along the slough, by popping: up pricas on available sites. "This does not mean," said ho, "that I think present asking prices are ex cessive in that district; what I intend to nay is thHt I know of some tracts over there for which a good stift iis ;urp has been offered, and the owntis cannot get together. S?onie of them are nUe. willing n accept the oflor. hut some o.f the others are holding off for a price I think tlu-y would not Bet for some years at It-ast. It means that a sale is clogged that would mean the early improvement of tho tract, and be an Immense - benefit to the whole section. It happens that some of the owners' of the tract in question have Wther holdings in tho vldtilty whl;h would become more valuable If the deal Is -closed up. The offer for the tract. If accepted, would clear a hand some prollt to present owners, and it looks to me to be shortsightedness not to allow the majority owners to take. this prolit. now that they have tie opportunity to do so. Two men Jre holding out. and the offer includes their holdings and will not be closed without they Join." Factory Sites Are Available. Factory sites are unlike other classes of realty, in most instances, for as a rule lands that are Ideal for factory use are not attractive for residences. While It Is unquestionably true that a greut demand Is now on for residence sites in Portland, there Is no great dif ficulty ill obtaining lands availahle for manufacturing purposes along the river, and sloughs. The patt week has been a re'mr.rk-' able one in several particulars. Tians ,fers on recorded figures 'show a total of about ?:00.to0 and In point of num bers exceed those of recent week, in the matter of building permits. 41S were Issued carrying total valuatlors of $S33.$t0. As compared with Febru ary of li'07. a singular result Is nonee 4)Me in that last year there were only -7S permits Issued, but the total whs J.SO.OuO in excess of this year. Thii is aceounted for in the fact that per mits were issued last February fur completion of several "skyscrapers, ' whereas the month Just closed had but one item exceeding 100.u0 that of the annex of the Oregon Hotel. . . Predicts Record Year. Building Inspector Spencer said yes terday with reference to building oper ations that the tirst two months of the year Indicate the beginning of what wilt be a record year in Port land. This prediction is given strength by the reports of architects, nearly all of whom are busily at work on plans for new structures,' the majority be-ins foe- residences. -Elsewhere in this issue is a detailed statement showing the class tof buildings being erected It will be noticed that over a half million dollars 'n valuation Is being expended in Portland for structures to cost over $.",000 each, included in per-, mlts Issued since the first of the year. While this large amount of money is being put into business structures and, dwellings of an expensive character. It will be noticed that a like amount Is going into smalji-r houses. Indicating toe best possible erowth, for It means .t!ie btilding ef homes by thrifty resi dents and by the same class of new. comers. . . - The East Side keeps up Its lead in LAND OWNERS MAY HOLD OH TOO LONG the building of dwellings, and ewn those, who are In touch' with construc tion business express astonishment at the rapidity with which the city is reaching out In all directions on the peninsula. Over 400 buildings' in a short month, at this season of the year, and-when the '"times' are said to be adverse to' making improvements. Is a record any city might well be proud of. If' the progressive spirit of the people could be infused a bit into the people's representatives in the Coun cil, said an East Side dealer yester day, -so that the making of good streets would keep pace with the spread of the city, much encouragement for fur ther efforts - would be givelt. Aloivij that line the work of the different im provement clubs is being felt and a great deal of building in certain dis tricts Is directly, attributable to Influ ences these organizations exert in ad vertising their localities. Xew Buildings Started. During the week contracts were let for the new building of the Y. W. C. A., which Is to cost about $75,000. ' The ad joining structure for the Y. IT. C. A., to cost nearly double, will start dur ing the month and the two are to be put up as rapidly as funds become available. In the northwest districL of the city several high-class dwellings are to be. started during the mcr.th, that of W. J. Van Schuyver, as an ex ample, plans lor w'riich are now being made by Bennes, Hendricks & Tobey. Bids will be called for about the middle of the month and the architects say they expect to hav the buPding up in about ai.- months thereafter. It. is to occupy the site at Twenty-fifth and, Marshall streets and will cost approxi mately $15,000. Rapid Advance in Value. The - most Important out-of-town . sale the past week was that of a block of ground in Mitwaukie on which the old Standard flour mills stood for so many years, by ; the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company, of Oregon City. This block was sold two 'years ago for $400 and now brings $7000. It is just north of the prop erty of the Dennis & Davis shingle mill. It is announced to be the purpose of the company to bring logs to Milwaukie. cut them at the sawmill to be erected on the site purchased and then send the blocks to" Oregon City by electric car. A spur from the electric railway will be built to the site purchased. Between 25 and 35 men will be employed in the new mill. A number of new dwellings are being built there and others are projected.

The largest amounts shown in segregating the two months' figures are for- the construction of dwellings to cost be tween $101)0 and $5000: That, of course, means that the constant de mand for dwellings of moderate cost is being met both by homebuilders for personal use and by investors for rent ing. The total valuation represented in the two months' permits was di vided Into $t-3.54'. for January, and $So3.S00 for February, showing over $200,000 increase for the latter month.

From practically every section comes a de mand for more watermains and com plaint of water-shortage. At Sellwood. where a 10-inch main was laid several years ago, there is already a water shortage. This Is on account of the growth of the district and consequent increase of the population. From Kenil worth there comes the same complaint. Attention was called to these condi tions at the last meeting of the United East Side Push Clubs, with the result that a special committee was appointed to look into the matter of a second pipe line to Bull Run as the only solu tion to the water question. It is the opinion of those who have looked into the matter that there will be a short age in Portland before this second pipe line can be built, even if work were to start on its construction next year. A MARKER. For a genuine bona fide investment you cannot beat that quarter block on Front street, which T offer at a special figure of $39,000 or $10,000' oelow market value.

OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, iw? : v- 5f j 3 S36 ST- RESIDENCE SITES ITJ ACTIVE DEMAND East Side R'eports Indicate Continued Inquiry From Home-Makers. VALUES WELL MAINTAINED Class of Building Operations Prove Growth of !ity to Be of Most Desirable Character and Carried Briskly Forward. Activity in East Side real estate, both in buildings and in sites for home-build-Ing- purposes, was maintained during the week. The total sales in the resi dence" districts show a considerable" per centage of increase over former weeks. Examination of the prices paid will show that prices are maintained and the num ber of sales tell the story of constant in quiry. There" are some acreage gales be ing made, although the market in this direction has not been so brisk as during former weeks. The favored district for acreage sales is east of Mount Tabor and Montavilla, out to the Twelve-Mile House, on both sides the Base Line road. It is expected at . the close of another year will see that whole zone pretty well cleared of brush and stumps and prepared for cultivation. From 1 to 20-acre tracts for suburban homes are being secured. The County Court is paving the Section. Base Line and Powell Valley roads with crushed rock, making them even better than many of the streets of Portland- and making the tributary territory highly de sirable for suburban homes, where an acre or two may be had for flowers and vegetables. rn Central East Portland, at an auction sale Tuesday, a bid of $12,500 was made on a quarter block on Belmont and East Third streets. It was not closed up, -but will be soon. To this must be added cost of the fill that has been contracted for on these two lots, which will be $1700. According to these figures the quarter ls-orth at least $16,000. As to the fills. It is now settled, apparently, that the Pacific Bridge Company will get a per mit to build a trestle for a temporary track for its dumpcars on East Salmon and -East Third to East. Oak. street in order to fill the low lands and also the streets east of Union avenue, for which it has contracts. Healthy Conditions Manifest. . We are- doing well in residence prop erty.' is the testimony of real estate men. in speaking of East Side property. Everything indicates a healthy condition all over the. Bast Side district.. E..J,Diily announces the. sale of -a lot 25x100 oc cupied with -a frame building on Mis sissippi avenue an Russell street for $4500. The building is of nominal value. 4 MARCH 1. 1903.

Many sales in Sunnyside have been made the past week, and many houses are being built there. An effort will be made to expedite the Improvement of Belmont street. Mrs. Rena Woodward has purchased the site for a home on East Salmon between East Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets for $2000. S. C.

Taylor, who Is interested in Rose City Park, "takes a very optimistic view of the situation, and remarked yester day: "I do not look for a great boom, but generally, affairs are getting Into nor mal condition. There is an immense amount on residence property being sold In Portland, especially on the East Side, although the sales are not largo but show that Portland is being filled up with a most desirable class home build ers." Mr. Taylor said that Rose City Park is getting its share of customers. The own ers of the tract are clearing a 7-acre piece to be used the coming Summer by residents as a resort. It will be provided with swings, rustic seats and places of rest. The Rose City Improvement League is doing good work for that neighborhood and a large number of homes, .aggregat ing $100,000, are to be erected in the early Spring as the result of its efforts. Also steps have been taken to open up two through streets to that section of. the city and to the Country Club's ground. In the Woodstock district there Is a steady and substantial grrowth. J. W. Gilstrap, a prominent resident and property owner, says: "We have one of the most attractive residence districts in Portland on this elevated plateau overlooking -. the Willamette River. "There has been a steady growth in thte district. So much of the residence property nas changed hands that it is not an easy matter now to get hold ot either acreage or lots, although there is constant in quiry for both. I bought on the brow of the hill a couple of acres at $750 an acre, and could get $2500 for the two if I wanted to sell. For my home I was offered $5000 lf I would give possession; but of course it Is not . in the market at all, and' I only mention this incident to show the trend of affairs, out here. There Is such a growth here tnat I am considering the advisability of - erecting a public ball that would be modern, safe and up-to-date. I believe that we need such a hall out here to accommodate the call for a public meeting- place ' for f unc- - v ; I f- - 44 "-. -; -: There is . a decided improvement movement at Mount Tabor. At Tabor Heights, at the end of the electric rail way, elgrht new dwellings are projected which will cost between $2500 and $3500 each. Work will start on these houses in the early Spring. Iot have been ' sohj in atl directions- at Tabor Heights the pat few weeks t a men who intend to erect homes. The Base Line rrad is to be opened full width to Tabor Heights and will be graded. Thia is considered an important improve ment.. At present this road Is nearly impassible. &y making it wider and cutting down the steep parts an easy grade will be secured to the top of the hitl. An effort Is being made -, to . get Belmont street opened and improved to Tabor Heights, although some op position is being encountered from a few residents who have homes - near the street, but many seem to think this ill-advised, a the street is needed to the summit, especially as a public park on the top of Mount Tabor is be ing considered. A large number' of new, homes have been erected on West avenue and at other .points at Mount Tabor, HANDSOME RISE IN REALTY PROPERTY OX FIRST AND CO .IA'MBIA GAINS $28,000." ' St. George Hotel Quarter Interest Is Sold by E. TT. Daly to Dr. Baar. Negotiations were concluded yesterday for the transfer of a quarter interest in the St. George hotel property, on the southwest corner of First and Columbia streets. E. J. Daly sold his interest to Dr. Gustay Baar, who already owned a one-half interest in the property, the remaining quarter belonging to America and Laura Moore. There is a three-story brick hotel build ing, 50x100, on the site and two frame dwellings on the inside lot. About a year ago the property was purchased by "Mr. Daly and his associates for $52,500. from Joseph Simon and Frederick W. Mslkey. Based upon the price paid for the quar ter interest, the present iholding price is $S5.000, or an advance of $23,000. This sale, together with others made recently or practically closed, indicates the strength of the market and restored normal conditions, such as prevailed prior to the financial stress In the East. That the East does not offer induce ments for safe remunerative Investments equal to those of the Coast, was made ap parent yesterday on the receipt of a letter from a resident of New York to his cor respondent In Pdrtland, informing him that a fund of between $200,000 and $300,000 was in hand for Investment in the West, and Inquiring as to what Is offered in the way of income-producing property or mortgage loan. The letter also said that Portland had been recommended as the best point on the Coast in which to Invest these trust funds. DECIDE TO BUILD NEW TEMPLE East Side Oddrellows to Erect Ade quate Lodge Quarters. Orient Lodge, No. 17, I. O. O. F., which meets at present in the hall on the corner of East Pine street and Grand avenue, will erect a two-st iry reinforced concrete building on the southeast corner of East Sixth and Al der streets, as soon as the plans can be prepared. At the meeting held Wednesday night, the members of the lodge discussed the building project fully and finally decided that the time was opportune to proceed with the erection of an Oddfellows' temple on the East Side. It was estimated that a two-story reinforced concrete struc ture. 100x50. the size of the lot owned by the lodge, will cost, with the furni ture, $25,000. While at present the building will be two stories: it was the expression of opinion that in the course of time three or more stories would be required, and-.-hence it was decided that the walls for the founda tion and of the first two stories should be built with the prospect of finally carrying three or more stories. At present. East Sixth street, on which the building will be located, is not gener ally used, but it will become Important as soon as the fill northward to East Stark street is completed. Orient Lodge has had this building project under consideration for some months, and had a special committee appointed to make preliminary investigations and report. The trustees and two members were made the building committee, with Instructions to secure plans and details. It will likely be a month be fore these can be completed and ac cepted by the lodge; afterward bids win De cauea ior. vneni juoage rtw 300 members, and is abundantly abla to finance the building. It may b necessary to borrow $o000. but if that amount is needed above thy lodge re sources, the money will bo obtained from members. It Is figured that the new temple cah.be completed and dedi cated in the Kail. Ileal Estate Transfer. Title Guarantee & Trust Company .to W. F.
