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.

unompson. inis resolution aiso carnea
with It a provision- that tho 51000 check

. 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.

"Will Hcpalr the Steel Bridge.
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.

whatevor Abjections property-owners

Considerable difficulty has hereto

Larz Ackerman were appointed viewers to
secure the opening of the street In Its

the west line of Twelfth street to the

these harmless gases a powerful tonlc

fact that It is deadly to germs, yet harm
less to you. Germs are of vegetable ori

sorbed by them, stops their activities.
We publish an offer of 31(00 for a disease

Germ Diseases
Most of our sickness has, in late years,
been traced to germ attacks. The list of
known germ diseases now numbers about
one hundred.
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..
Such diseases call for Liquozone not
drugs, which can't kill germs.
