Portland, Or. alons: Columbia boulevard are beins made nt a remarkable rate and this activity Is reported as well in the addi tions reaching south into the Albina dis tricts. Further to the east, not only good business 1s the rule In the sales of lots, but building operations are also much greater than at any previous period. Some Inquiry has developed for manufacturing sites In the lower penin sula districts and along the river in the neighborhood of St. John. Jn the northeast districts, sales are reported as heavy in lots and In larger tracts for investment. On the West Side there .is reported a good inquiry for realty on the streets bordering the hills, and sites for expensive residences are being taken on the Heights. Street improvements are progressing both on Portland and Wil lamette height. As an evidence of the advance made In West Side property in the past year. E. J. Daly aid Saturday he had made an offer for a piece west of Tenth street of 1,00. which was declined. The same piece, Mr. Daly said, was bought less than a year ago for $12,500. Maude G. Hudson bought last week a house and lot on Glisan street, between Twenty-second and Twenty-third, for J14.000. The Portland Trust Company has sold lot IS. block 7, Kings addition, to Jo hanna Kunz at a consideration of JSS00. This lot is the southwest corner of Twenty-fourth and Irving. George F. Heusnrr, representing the Swift interests in Portland, said last week that street grades had not yet been set in the Kenton tract, recently acquired and platted for a townsite, but that demand for lots in the addition had already been made and some sales closed. One sale of three lots 25x100 each was closed at $350. and another sale of four lots brought $4250. Both these prop erties are in what is to be the business district of the new town and the lots were secured by realty dealers as invest ments. Agents who have secured tracts along the line of the Salem lectric road re port a fairly active demand, especially for acreage to be put into fruits and vegetables. One of the next important matters to be taken up by the Real Estate Ex change Is that of discussing and devising some plan through which actual values of real estate transfers may be arrived at. Under the present system there is no way of arriving at these values with any degree of accuracy. Last week there was not a single sale of any considerable Importance of down town realty. Buyers are in the market for sites for business houses, but hold ers are found to be too well satisfied with the prospect of further advances to accept offers made at present. The natural result will be that the so-called business district must stretch out, which as a matter of fact It is already doing. Within a few months a number of lots on Second street will be in the market, as It Is more than probable the Chinese will move from that street to the new district at Fourth and Everett. Moore & Frost Land Company reports the sale of a house and lot at 1230 East Tenth street to W. Goodwin. The prop erty was owned by C. B. Webb and the consideration was $3000.

I TREAT MEN TO EFFECT A CURE No class of human ailments Is so little understood among the profession today as the diseases peculiar to men. As a result the methods commonly employed In treating them are but relics of earlier periods in medical science. I have departed from every form of treatment that my own experi ence and research have proven in effective and unscientific. I have replaced them with original and thoroughly modern methods that have proven supremely effective. Every detail of my procedure in each individual case is based upon accurate knowledge as to condi tions and requirements, and my cures are duplicated by no other physician or specialist.
