DWELLINGS STILL IN LEAD feign of Ppoexcss Seen in Every Section of City and New Opera tions Keep Architects and Contractors Busy. Plan are being" prepared by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany for an operating; barn and club- ins on of the low grounds along Eat Burnside from the Proudfoot building; to East Second street. Work has started on the concrete bridge across Sullivan's Gulch, t Union avenue, by the contracting firm, the Northwest Bridge Company. Contracts will be let this wek for the steel work on the new grandstand for Multnomah Field, by Doyle A Pat terson, the architects of the plan. W. H. Wallace and Thomas C. Devlin are to have a four-story brick ware house erected at East First and Taylor streets, 100x100, with concrete founda tions, to cost about $45,000. Architect Schacht is preparing plans. - 1 The Sunnyalde Congregational Church members have decided to pur chase a site and erect a church edifice. This decision has become necessary, according to statements of the church officials, because, of the growth of the congregation and auxiliary bodiee con nected with the church work. A movement is being agitated on the East Side to have the School Board sell the site on which the present Williams avenue Schoolhouse stands and use the proceeds in the erection of a more com modious building in another locality, where ground is not so valuable. Ground was broken last week for the double flat building to be erected on East Burnside street, between East Eleventh and Twelfth streets. The TRANSFERS SHOW INCREASED SALES Many Buyers Secure Home Sites in Newly-Platted Suburban Tracts.

The clubhouse is to he built of concrete, and Is designed for un of the employes of the O. W. P. division. The cost of the improvement is estimated at 40,ono. Bids are to be opened April 15 for construction of a Y. M. C. A. building st the Agricultural College at CorvaUis. Information as to specifications may be obtained from the secretary of the col lege. Architect F. M. Anderson is prepar ing plans for a new schoolhouse to be erected at Seappoose, to cost $12,500. A modern bungalow is to be erected by W. H. Chat ten. on an acre a"fid a hilf of land purchased from Sengstake Lyman, on the river hank above the Charles K. I. add place. There are sev eral homes to he hnilt fn that vicin ity the coming Summer. Within the next 10 days contractors will be excavating for the new Rosen blatt Hotel at Tenth and Alder. East Side warehouse sites ftre being improved at a rate that attracts atten tion. Several new buildings figured in last week's records for that district. Building permits carrying values of over $175,000 were, issued last week, being in excess of those issued in any week since the first of the year. The cannery being erected nt Cor vaUis. when completed, will have a ca pacity of 50.000 cans per day. This industry is growing in the Valley, and railroad officials assert that within Ave yea re there will be Joo carloads a year sent out. which means a number of now buildings to be devoted to the business. There is at least one marked differ ence between Portland s new big build ings and those of other "greater" cities. The "to let" sign i not in evidence here. President Morton, of the Equitable Life, is said to hay offered a $7.Vfl0 loan on the new Y. M. C. A. building, and that before the building is barely started. An inference is that the ground furnishes sufficient margin. Work 4n clenring the debris from the site of the Burkhardt building, on Sec ond street, next to the Gcrlinger build ing, is progressing, and excavating will Ftart probably this week. Reinforced concrete walls of the Ore gon Hotel annex are going up as rap idly as that style of architecture will permit. Excavations are being made under th old building of the Pacific Iron Works at Kast Burnside and Fast Third streets, and an addition is to be added to the buildlnirs shortly. Filling is go- building is to cost between $5000 and $9000. and is to be put up for C. N. Rankin. New tracts are being platted in both the south and north ends of the Penin sula, and while there would appear to be greater demand just now for large pieces in the vicinity of the Slough, agents re port quite an active inquiry in the whole strip from one end to the other skirting the great Bast Side section of the city. ADDRESS ON ARCHITECTURE Y. W. C. A. lrl Hear description of Their Xew Bnildlnjt. The programme for the "at home" at the Y. V. C.

Or., April i. i Spocial.WThe County Court has directed the Road master to proceed with the improvement with what is known as the Cairnsmore road from its connection with the Clatsop Plains road to the soft sand near the beach, where planking is to be laid as required. For this purpose an order was placed for S4.OH0 feet of planking at J14.30 per This improvement is in line of the construction of the much-talked-of B itomobile road between Portland and the ocean, and when completed will form the connection to the beach.

One result of the trip was that the realty men of Salem resolved to organise a similar board in that city. Represen tatives of the trade In Salem were active in furnishing entertainment for the visi tors and: left nothing undone to majce the short stay in the Capitol City most agreeable to the Portland people. Next Saturday the board will be the guest of John P. Sharkey & Company on a street car trip to Waverleigh. Transfers for the past week footed up lFi8.723.
