Mil Iff GOOD SITES Transfers Show Advancing Values of Desirable Lots. ORGANIZE-SWIFT COMPANY Packers Interested in New Townsite Movement, Which Is to Control Large Landed Interests, on the Peninsula. Transfers of lots, both for residence sites and business and manufacturing, are keeping up to a remarkable extent. Over $400,000 was the reported valuations in 5. v V I x vow. the records of the past week, but the real valuations of the week probably would reach nearer J600.000. as in the majority of Instances but a nominal valuation is stated in the records. Buying of lots in the East Side suburbs continues to make up the bulk of transfers, and there seems to be no' particular section of that part of the city having any preference over any other. In the vicinity of Albina and further down the Peninsula -sales have been somewhat above the records of the past few months, and back east ward there is also noted a good improve ment. To the southeast there is a steady growth marked by transfers of build ing lots and acreage Intended for early improvement. Quite a number of transfers of build ing sites skirting the hills to the west ward of the old part of the city were among the recorded transactions. Out Johnson. Kearney, Lovejoy and Marshall streets, sites are being bought by pros pective builders of high-class residences and the coming Summer will bring an active building movement in those lo calities. A handsome advance in values over last year is noticeable, not only in that part of the city, but the numbered streets to the Heights as we.i. There is also starting up again considerable movement on the Heights and uie own ers of "sky" property are opening their offices on the hills for the Spring and Summer business. The early opening of the North Bank road will attract buyers to the lands lying along that new feCder to Portland. Already several tracts are in the market, and real estate, men predict that town sites will soon follow the opening of the road. Market gardening will also receive an impetus as soon as quick transporta tion is provided. With the Salem elec tric line open for business and pros-' pects fairly good that the Mount Hood road will be started toward completion during the Summer, nearby country ptacps will be available by another year that will be sure to attract buyers. The Kenwood Land Company has filed articles of incorporation. This company is to handle the landed Interests of the Swift people. The incorporators are Louis F. Swift. George 4-leusner. J. C. Good, C. C. Colt and Charles -H. Carey. Mr. Colt is president and Mr. Good secretary of the Vnion Meat Company. The capital stork of the company Is placed at $300,000. It is granted the usual powers to hold and convey real estate- and is empowered to build and operate mills, railroads, ferries, docks, warehouses, etc., and deal in capital stock of oilier corporations. This company will, in all probability, lay out a townsite in the vicinity of the lands known as the packing-house site, most probably to the south of the slough. - The contract for grading Multnomah field has been awarded and the work will bo started this week. The grandstand is being rued and plans prepared by White house & Honeyman for new structures. Acreage in pieces of from ten to several hundred acres is reported to be in good demand, both from local and out-of-town buyers. Tracts lying within a radius of a dozen miles of the city are moving at a remarkable rate and prices are advane ing as rapidly as the choicer, tracts are being disposed of. Dealers In these farm lands report a good inquiry from Eastern buyers. South Portland is enjoying quite an ac tive movement in sales of home sites. That section of the city, while not figur ing to any great extent in realty trans actions for some months past, is now be ing looked after by prospective builders with the result that a small-sized boom is reported. ' Transfers of realty during the past week averaged, over $50,000 a day. At BRISK MOVER Our Steam Heating Plants Are Installed Right We don't leave out valves where they should be put in.
