M. Cake to Hold Southwest , Corner of Fourteenth and Washington as Investment. BUILDING 2-STORY FRAME Tortland Attorney Compares Value of Property With Other Cities L" and Announces Confidence In Prosperous Future. What is regarded as a keynote realty transaction was concluded in Portland yesterday when H. M. Cake, a promi nent attorney, bought . the southwest corner of Fourteenth and Washington streets from George E. Jacobs for a cash consideration understood to be be tween $75,000 and $85,000. The property has a frontage of 100 feet 'on Washington street at a crest of that leading thoroughfare, and of 60 feet on Fourteenth street. It Is covered with an old two-story frame building, which Mr. Jacobs bought with the property three or four years ago. Mr. Cake was represented in the negotiations by the F. E. Taylor Com pany and Mr. Jacobs by Philip W. Fry, of the Fred A. Jacobs Company. The purchaser has not yet determined how soon he will improve the property but indicates that he will hold it for the time being as an investment. Bright Future la Predicted. "In the purchase of the Washington street property, am carrying out a policy which 1 always have adhered to, namely, buying when property was at bedrock and there was little market fcr real esate." said Mr. Cake yester day. "While there has been much de preciation in real estate and the Port land property holder has become ex ceedingly pessimistic, 1 am fully con vinced in my own mind that the future of Portland was never brighter nor more certain than today, nor have prospects for a permanent increase in value ever been greater than at the present time. "A comparison of values with Los Angeles for instance, would show that a corner in Los Angeles corresponding to that at Fourteenth and Washington streets would be worth from $250,000 to J300.000. The stability and prospects or i-oruana are greater, in my opinion, than those of Los Angeles because of Portland's resources. United States Expected to Lead. "Every advancement in population and development of the Inland Empire must necessarily redound to Portland's growth, and this great area, embracing Eastern Washington, Oregon and West ern Idaho, is only coming into its own. "In the near future, we may look for ward to a marvelous growth in this eection and an increase of population justilied by Its resources and possibili ties. "I do not share in the ultra conserva tion of some of our good citizens, that we must share in the loss resulting from the great European struggle, but believe that, situated as the United States is, with its great resources and population unimpaired, it will take the lead in the next 20 years in the economic, commercial and industrial affairs of the world. This will mean great development and prosperity for our Western states, the recovery of the lumber industry on the Pacific Coast and the growth and development of the City of Portland. I may be wrong in iny prognostications of the future, but I am willing to back my opinions with money." FIVE GQNViGTS PAROLED COVERXOR CARRIES OUT WISHES OF" 1ATE HARRf P. MIXTO.

Coldwell, heretofore superin tendent of the light and power de partments of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, has been ap pointed general superintendent of the company, and will have charge of the commercial department in. addition to his former duties. In his new office, lit. - Coldwell will succeed to some of the duties formerly performed by F. W. Hild, general man ager, resigned to become general man ager of the Lenver Tramway Company.

Mr. Hild's Work to Be Divided. Franklin T. Griffith, president of the company, said yesterday that Mr. Hild's work probably will be divided among some of the other officials. Under this arrangement it is probable that Fred Cooper, superintendent of transporta tion, will assume full charge of the operating end of the city rail system. G. C. Fields, superintendent of the suburban lines, will have complete operating charge of those lines. F. I. Fuller, vice-president, probably will have general supervision over all operating details.
