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
