Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1906. 11 RAPID RISE IN REALTY WES Some Comparisons Which Show'the Trend of Lands in Portland. GREAT PROFITS ARE MADE In Many Instances a Few Months Have Seen Properties Almost Double and Advance Keeps Up. Presant domand for roal property In Portland is sufficiently brisk to meet the greatost hopes of the most optimistic The heavy deals -which have already been consummated during the month of Feb ruary have caused every one in the city to watch for the sales as they are record ed with an interest seldom exhibited in the real estate market before. Wherever men of affairs meet together, there is al most certain to follow a conversation upon the activity of the market and the sharp advance in both business and residence property. Banner Year Promised. In every way the year 1003 was the ban ner year in Portland realty, but. far .as it was ahead of the years whicli had' pre ceded it, there can bo no doubt that It will be greatly exceeded by the records of 1P06. In fact, it is a conservative estimate to say that the property transfers of this year will aggregate twice that of the 12 months previous. This may seem a bold statement, but It seems abundantly justi fied by the records up tohis time. The real estate transfers for January, 3M, as shown by the official records, amounted to 51.45S.323, which is $964,0 in excess, or slightly less than three times the total reached during the opening month ofi last year. The present month is making even a bettor record. Up to tills time the sales recorded during Feb juary amount to 51,515,385. Sales of prop erty for the entire month of February. 1905, were only 5302.750, or less than one third the sales of the first 20 -days of the present month. In fact, the sales record ed from February 1 up to yesterday arc an advance over those of each of the opening months of last year. Situation Not Surprising. In this situation there is nothing extra ordinary or oven surprising. It Is simply a growth of business that follows as a natural sequence the conditions which are to be found In Portland. Prices here have long been greatly bolow those of other cities on the Pacific Coast. There is no reason why this condition should exist, and capitalists are beginning to realize that It will not last long. There is every indication that at some time values here will equal and probably exceed those of the other Coast cities, and that the move ment in that direction will be steady and rapid. Those who had the foresight to invest in Portland a few years, or even a few months ago, are now reaping their reward in greatly Increased prices. Many have sold nt double or treble tlieir money, and scores of others, could oll at prices that would lining .them in a handsome profit; Such-a tiling as a loss on a Portland real ty investment is unknown. There is not a piece of ground In East, West, North or South Portland that lias not been advan cing. Comparison of Prices. A comparison of the- prices paid by Charles Sweeny, the Spokane millionaire, for Portland property, and the value of the same property today, gives a good dca of the trend of the market. In Au gust of 1904 Mr. Sweeny purchased the Dekum building for 5350,000. In May of last year lie paid 5200,000 for the Washing ton building. At present, he is drawing from these two properties a 6 per cent net income on 51.000,000. It is doubtful if the two could be purchased for -51.000,000 cash today. At the same time he bought the Dekum building, Mr. Sweeny acquired the Dekum homestead for" $75,000. His agents in this city, Rountree & Diamond, recently re fused an offer of 5100,000 for this corner. Last April he paid 57C.123 for the corner where the building is going up for Tull & Gibbs, at Seventh and Morrison, and 515. 000 for the 50x100 site, or the ell with frontage on Park streets. The main cor ner, without improvements, would easily sell for 5150.000, and the lot on Park street is worth 530,000 or more, as is shown by the fact that the site for the Hotel Oregon annex fronting on the same street near Stark, was bought for that price Monday. Instances Are Many. Other instances of the same character nre to be seen on all sides. The quarter block at Sixth and Oak streets upon which Wells-Fargo are now building a 12-story hrick, was bought not long ago by J. H. Peterson for 545,000. Peterson sold to the express company for 5100,000, and if the tract was vacant today it could be dis posed of for at least 5125,000, this being the price paid Monday for the Stelnbach property. The half-block owned by S. Morton Oohn, the sale of which was reported in The -Oregonlan yesterday at 5130,000, was purchased by him two years ago for $40, 000. Only eight months ago Mr. Cohn jrave a local dealer a 15-day option on the property at $65,000, and no one could be found to take It at that figure. On the same block, the Oregon Hotel site sold In October. 1903, for 540,000. Without im provements, this corner would now bring about 5125,000. The property purchased. Te-. cently by the Meier & Frank Company Is another good instance. Last year Mr. Maxwell offered the piece for 565.000. The price paid by the owners of the depart ment store recently was $103,000. Higher on Bach Side. What is true of business property on the West Side Is paralleled on the East Side and by residence property .on both sides. An Instance of this Is shown in the heavy gales In Ardmore. amounting to more than $100,000. Last Summer tins tract was selling at $3500 a lot. The prices in the many recent deals was $5000 a lot Dealers are greatly pleased with the way that real estate is moving, and ex press their confidence In no uncertain terms. "Portland property never was moving so well before and this year will be tho best ever." said C. IC Honrs. 1 here is more money, both local and out side, bore for investment than at any pre Uous time," was the expression of W. H. Grindstaff. "This year is sure to see a great development in the real-estate mar ket," said N. W. Rountree. "The East Side Is advancing and will continue to advance abreast of the West Side," was the testimony of Joseph Healy. These are the character of expressions heard everywhere. There U no danger of any setback. Portland property is on the up grade to stay. There is poor picking for pessimists in Portland just now. Corpo'ations T'Ho Articles.

At an adjourned meeting of the St. Johns Council Monday night, all the members being present. Councilman J. H. Shields Introduced a resolution rosclnding the liquor license granted to the SL Johns Hotel Company about a week ago and the resolution was adopted by -a majority of one. The vote was: For rescinding the license Shields, Edwards, Brlcc and Leg- gett; against Peterson. LInquist andy; unompson. inis resolution aiso carnea with It a provision- that tho 51000 check on "deposit from the SL Johns Hotel Com pany be returned to- Manager Nye with thanks. . So the whole situation on the liquor question in St. Johns Is again changed, and stands where It did before the li cense was granted. Councilman Shields In introducing his resolutions contended that no license could be granted by reso lution and read portions of the city charter to fortify his position. He also appealed to the City Attorney and he confirmed that opinion. What the next step will be remains to be seen. W. G. McGarry says the St. Johns Hotel Company holds a contract with tho city to grant It a license, and It must grant it or be liable for damages. At this meeting Marshal Merritt tendored his resignation, which was accepted, and H. W. Bryson was appointed in his place. O. R. Downs, who is acting as Deputy Re corder during the illness of J. W. Hanks, announced to the Council that he would not serve longer unless the Council paid him 5100 a month. The compensation is 540 a month at present. This and other matters were continued until the ad journed meeting this evening. Christian Kndcavor Convention. It is expected that more than 100 dele gates will leave tomorrow morning from Portland to attend the 17th annual state convention of the Oregon Christian En deavor Union, which meets In Corvallls February 22 to continue through February 25.

With the repairing of the Steel bridge, which will be begun early next month, all street-cars crossing that structure will be routed by way of the Burnslde-street bridge until the lower bridgo is In a con dition for cars to cross it again. Bids for the work of re-decking the bridge are to be advertised on March 1, and soon there after the work of taking up the old plank ing and laying new will be begun. Pedes trians can still tise the bridge, but street cars and vehicles must use another route. This condition of affairs will congest traf fic on the Burnslde bridge, as the Monta villa and East Ankeny cars, which usually use the Morrison bridge, are already com pelled to cross by the Burnside structure because of tho Grand avenue fill, and these two lines will continue to cross the Burnslde bridge for some time yet. or probably until the Steel bridge is redecked.

Considerable difficulty has hereto fore been experienced concerning this extension by reason of the general hos tility of property-owners to the Idea, and some time last j-ear efforts were made through the old Council to overcome these objections. With that object In view. Walter F. White. Enos Swan and Larz Ackerman were appointed viewers to secure the opening of the street In Its present westerly courae and width from the west line of Twelfth street to the cast line of Thirteenth, but there were such overwhelming remonstrances that the matter was abandoned for the time being, so that when the present Council came Into office new proceedings were In stituted albpg the same lines. Hcporl of Viewers. On November 1 of last year the Council adopted a resolution favoring the pro posed extension, and naming Oglesby Young, II. J. Morrison and J. P. 3lenefee as viewers.

Some germs as in skin troubles djrect ly attack the tissues. Some crcato toxins, causing such troubles as Rheumatism. Blood Poison, Kidney Disease and nerve weakness. Some destroy vital organs, as In Consumption. Some like the germs of Catarrh create Inflammation; some cause indigestion. Directly or indirectly, nearly every serious ailment Is a germ .result..
