THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. JULY 1, 1906.
NO LULL IN THE -REALTY
MARKET
Sales for June Greatly Exceed
Those for Corresponding
Month Last Year.
THEY TOTAL UP $2,089,345
Records of Transfers for Yesterday
Show the Greatest Gain of
Any Day During the
Entire Month.
Real estate transfers as officially re
corded give no indication that the market
is experiencing the lull which usually
comes at this time of the year. Although
large individual sales are somewhat less
in number than they were a few months
ago. there is sufficient residence and small
property selling to bring the totals
higher than they were In many of the
months commonly recognized as the busy
period.
The sales for the month of June give a
total of -$2,089,345. which is exceedingly
gratifying and much higher than was ex
pected by any one who had not followed
the records closely from day to day.
June last year the sales amounted to $1,
309.824. a difference of almost $800,000,
which shows that the depression caused
by the San Francisco disaster was not
sufficient to head off the increase of busi
ness which has been constant and rapid.
The stringency of the money market fol
lowing the California disaster did unde
niably prevent many deals which other
wise would have gone through, and it la
Interesting to speculate on the volume of
realty business that would have been
transacted in Portland had it not oc
curred, and what the volume will be dur
ing the busy days that are sure to come
next fall.
Greatest Gain for One Day.
Yesterday the records showed the great
cat gain of any day during the month.
A single deed tiled added $300,000 to the
records. It was the deed of a large por
tion of the Lewis and Clark Exposition
grounds transferred to the Title Guar
antee & Trust Company. This is the tract
which has been purchased by the Port
land Development Company and is held
in trust by the intermediate firm. Several
other good sized transfers occurred during
the month, several of which were filed at
a nominal entry of $1. thus reducing the
total below the actual sates. Among these
was the purchase of 38 acres between
ijuild's Lake and Nlcolai street by J. B.
Venn, which involved more than $100,000.
Building permits for June, although
lower than last month, which was the
best record ever made in Portland, show
a large advance over the corresponding
month of last year. The permits for last
month were $422,242, and for June, 1905.
were $197,695, which was the lowest
record made any one month last year.
Kor May the permits amounted to more
than $1,000,000. which give some indica
tion of tiie Immense amount of construc
tion under way In Portland at the present
t ime.
Contractors are rushing the work on all
of the large buildings as rapidly as possi
ble and most of them will be done by the
dates first set, although they have been
held back somewhat by the rainy weath
er. The excavation for the Failing build
ing at Fifth and Alder streets was hur
ried to completion and workmen have
nuw placed the most of the steel of the
first story.
Work on New Buildings.
Although the construction of business
blocks Is most noticeable because of their
central location, work upon new dwellings
Is one of the most Important features of
the market at present. Hundreds of
.homes are under way through the resi
dence portion of the city, showing the
rapid Increase in population and the gen
eral prosperity of the city. Many of the
new residences are expensive buildings
and nearly all are designed attractively
and will add much to the beauty of the
city. Fine homes are going up on Port
land Heights. Willamette Heights, Irving
ton, and in fact every desirable residence
locality.
There is evidence that Council Crest is
to be one of the most select residence dis
tricts of Portland as soon as the line of
the Portland Railroad Company is con
structed to the summit. The syndicate
which tied up most of the best land on
the crest has had many advances offered
for Its holdings, but so far lias refused to
sell. The land will be platted and offered
for sale In quarter-acf- tracts. It is said
that 15 or 20 lots have already been re
served by men who will begin to erect
attractive dwellings soon. Council Crest
gives a commanding view over the Wil
lamette River and also the valley south
west of Portland, and is destined to be
come one of the most beautiful residence
districts of Portland.
The most important real estate transac
tion of the week was the sale of the
property of the Willamette Iron & Steel
Works to D. C. Pelton for $125,000. It

ing to unite Its plant with that of the

site that has been purchased at the old
Government mooring grounds.
Series or Sales Reported.
A series of sales of property at the
northwest corner of Second and Evepett
streets gives a good idea of the rapid in
crease in values in that section, which
corresponds with the general advance all
over the city. The corner. 95x50. was sold
one year ago by the Portland Trust Com
pany to Taft & Co. for $13,000. A few
months later it sold for $16,000, and later
was acquired by Beno & Ballis for $16,500.
The latter firm has just sold to Dr. Otto
S. Blngswanger the inside 40x50 for $12.
500. This leaves the firm the corner lot.
the more valuable of the two. for an out
lay of only $4000. In return for the lot
sold, the Portland Trust Company took
as part payment the residence of Dr.
Bingswanger. a quarter-block, at the
southeast corner of Twenty-fourth and
Overton streets, valued at $11,000. The
sale was made by the Portland Trust
Company.

of the Pos toff ice Department, at Gres

for bids for carrying the mails for four
years on three proposed new star routes.
The first proposed route will be between
Boring and Orient, service to be twice
each day, starting from Orient in the
morning at 7:30 o'clock. The distance Is
four miles between postoffices. Between
Boring and Sandy it is proposed to estab

the route to start from Sandy In the
morning, arriving at Boring at 8:30
o'clock. These two routes are advertised
to start on July 16, if there are any ac
ceptable bids reecived by that date. The
third route is to be established between
Gresham and Orient, and will go into
operation August 1. The distance is seven
miles, but the schedule calls for only one
round trip each day. The time of leaving
Gresham will be about S:30 A. M.. return

service between Gresham and Sandy will
undoubtedly be discontinued when the
Boring-Sandy route begins on July 16, al
though there is a new contract for the
next four years, which goes into effect
tomorrow. The Gresham-Orient route
will be In competition with the Boring

CHICAGO. June 30. A new receivership
for the Union Traction Company and its
underlying companies was applied for in
the Federal Court today by the Guaranty
Company, of New York. The court " is

BY P. A. SINSHE1MER.
SAX FRANCISCO, June 30. (Special.)
When a person has been seriously ill, the
nurse in attendance hails with delight the
first signs of peevishness as indicating
that the patient is on the road to recov
ery. And so it is with San Francisco.' The
era of undisturbed harmony is passing
and the petty squabbles of municipal life
are returning. The two chief points of
dissension are the personnel of the civil
ian relief committee and the proposed
building laws. The new citizens' relief
commission is composed of Dr. Devine, E.
F. Moran and Colonel George Hippy. The
row is over Pippy. Although Pippy has
been president of the Union League Club
for some years, by a portion of the press
he has been condemned as unfit to han
dle the relief funds.
Back of it all there is an old-time po
litical squabble. Pippy is known to be
subservient to M. H. de Young and is a
persona non grata with James D. Phelan.
Up to the present time, Phelan has done
the lion's share of the relief work, and
now, when things are reorganized, he is
not only ignored but given a slap by the
selection of Pippy. So bitter were the at
tacks on Pippy that the relief committee
i tself was forced to ask that Phelan be
retained as head of the finance commit
tee, and that the finance committee alone
be empowered to pay out money.
The trouble over the building ordinance
is of greater import. The law, as framed
by the Supervisors, provides that no build
ing shall be more than one and one-half
times as high as the width of the street
on which it stands. It happens that the
downtown streets of San Francisco, with
the exception of Market street, are nar
row. It is figured that in several places
the limit will be six or eight stories. In
such cases. Class A structures will not
pay. and owners will be compelled to
erect second-class structures. The build
ing law, In the opinion of those best qual
ified to judge, is a mistake. It is shown
that the tallest buildings in the city were
absolutely unharmed by the earthquake
and came out of the fire the least dam
aged. Standing Evidence of the Error.
The Call building. 318 feet high, the tall
est structure in the city; the lofty Mer
chants' Exchange building, the Kohl
building, the Shreve building and a dozen
others which stand alone in the midst of
ruins are the strongest arguments against
the ordinance. No argument has been
able to alter the determination of the Su
pervisors, however, and the new law will
be promulgated this week. For the time
being this will confine the tall buildings to
Market street and Van Ness avenue.
Every effort in the meantime will be made
to have the law changed.
The ordinance will have a very impor-
AVENUE.
'HwcsKi v sxse
tant bearing on the rivalry existing at
the present time between Fillmore street
and Van Ness avenue for the retail trade
of the city. Fillmore street is very nar
row, and Van Ness is as wide as Market.
Both Fillmore and Van Ness are lined
with retail stores. Fillmore had the start
and at the present time is in the lead.
Hardly a day passes, however, without
some well-known firm swinging its sign
into the breeze on Van Ness.
There has been a rush for liquor
licenses among people who hold leases on
Fillmore street, and when the saloons are
allowed to open, next month, it is pre
dicted that Fillmore street will look very
much as Ellis did before the fire. Van
Ness, with its great width, cleanly pave
ment and broad, ample walks, is fringed
with the 'great retail emporiums which
women frequent, and its popularity is
growing daily. New buildings are being
rushed to completion, and the pries of
ground space is soaring. It is a pretty
race, and the people are watching it with
keen interest.
The sporting editor of a local paper m
plained this week that when he asked
Bddie Graney about the next fight, Gra
ney answered: "First tell me will it be
Fillmore street or Van Ness?"
Betting Spirit Is Abroad.
Needless to state, big sums arc at stake.
Callfornians have been widely advertised
for their betting propensities, but never
were these traits better exemplified than
now. The speculative craze has again
taken hold, and leases on both Fillmore
and Van Ness have developed into an in
dustry which outdoes mining stocks. One
young man about town, who is of the
sort which likes to take a chance, a few
days after the fire leased a piece of prop
erty on Van Ness, paying what was then
considered a good, round price. This was
before a single business house in the
burned section had relocated.
He waited three weeks and then re
leased at an advance of $7500. This deal
has caused much talk, as the original
lease was secured from a club which
numbers among its members the best
business men of the city. Leases on Van
Ness have steadily risen until today big
firms are paying $15 a front foot a month
for ground space. As business pushes
further into the burned area the specula
tion is 'becoming more widespread.
Realty values throughout the entfre city
have been upset. Land in the burned sec
tion which before the disaster was worth
$6000 a front foot may be worth less than
half as much today. It all depends on
the movement of business. Many predict
that the large retail stores will remain
permanently on Van Ness. In this case
land on Kearney will be worth one-third
of Its former value. No fear la felt for
Market-street values. It will always re
main the main artery.
Boom .Is Already On.
It can be stated with truth that the
boom has already begun. Money Is get
ting more and more plentiful and changes
hands with even greater rapidity than be
fore the fire. Speculation for one thing
keeps It moving, but there is a more sub
stantial foundation than that.
AH of the big retail stores which have
reopened report that business is brisk.
One of the large department stores which
resumed business oh Fillmore street last
week took in more cash the first day than
In any single day in its history. People
are stocking up again. Every one needs
everything from shoes to hat and from
pins to household furniture. Salaries are
going on again. Nearly everyone is em
ployed, and the future is bright.
No one need be idle here. There is more
work at good wages than there are men.
Contractors are unable to get enough
men. The daily papers are filled with col
umns of advertisements under the cap
tion, "Help Wanted." Help of every sort
Is wanted. A merchant from a country
store who came to the city this week to
get a drygoods salesman reported that he
not only found all the salesmen employed,
but he learned that several large firms
here were advertising for men. He of
fered to pay $100 a month, but could se
cure no one.
While the business of the retailer is
flourishing, the wholesalers are not so
fortunate. Much of the goods used here
at present comes direct from the East.
The local wholesalers In several branches
of trade will not be atle to supply their
customers for three months yet.
Bread Line Dwindling.
With business Improving, the bread line
Is constantly being reduced. In a couple
of months, it will have been reduced in
large part to those who Tvlll depend per
manently upon the charity of the public.
Hundreds of aged men and women who
had a small bit of income-producing prop
erty find themselves utterly pauperized.
Their holdings gone, with no Insurance to
compensate them, forces them to accept
the charity of the public. It is clear now
that when the city gets back to normal,
it will have a far greater number of de
pendents than before. One army officer
stated to the writer that he never would
have believed that so many aged persons
were without friend or relative in the
state. But at the Presidio and the camps
in the park there are hundreds who have
no one to turn to.
In counting up the loss which San
Francisco has sustained, little attention
has been paid to the great wealth which
every year pours in upon the city from
the orchards, fields and mines. Millions
and millions of dollars will soon be poured
li)to the Golden State for the grains and
fruits and metals which the rich earth
yields. While the crops will not break
any records this year, they are for the
most part good and the gold production
will be high A few good seasons, and
California will be looking out upon the
world with her old-time smile.
The spirit certainly is here. There Is
no gloom. The predicted reaction has
not set in. The first large building to go
up will be a theater, work on which has
already begun. It will cost $300,000. and
will be completed by January. This the
ater, by the way, will be on Van Ness
avenue.
The SausaHto boat these days presents
an interesting study. In Sausalito. which
is just across the bay to the north, the
lid is off. The boat is the most popular
veel on the water. In fact. It is suspect
ed that some of the passengers travel
back and forth without disembarking at
either end. As the boat leaves the slip
at the ferry on this side, the doors of the
barroom are thrown open and the waiting
crowd rushes in like a mob of women at
a bargain sale.
The long counter Is adorned with glasses
already filled. Everything !s straight.
There is'no time to mix things. The force
of bartenders has been increased until the
"mpn behind" look like a white-coated
regiment.

Summer Season
At the Beaches
. Begins
THE Summer search has fairly begun
and the resorts already present an
animated appearance- Those who came
during the week have had the pleasure
of enjoying perfect weather.
-
Seaside has taken on metropolitan
air:; rapidly of late, and now has its
own water plant, electric lights, a the
ater, and a skating rink. Performances
are given nightly at the theater. The
programme Includes vaudeville sketches
illustrated songs, moving pictures and
a short afterpiece. The patronage has
been good.
The pier in front of the Moore Hotel,
the first ocean pier on the Pacific Coast,
is approaching completion, and the hot
salt water bathhouse is nearly finished
Mr. Mcore's next scheme will probably
be a natatorlum. He states that there
Is a popular demand for swimming
baths on improved plans.
Seaside is to have a steam laundry.
R. Lambert, a well-known laundryman,
lias promised to supply the want. He
has secured ground opposite the rail
road station and says he will start
building operations at once.
The ties for the electric railroad line
are already on the ground, and Mr.
W. L. Dudley, the manager of the en
terprise, says the steel rails will ar
rive soon. It is contemplated to con;
struct the line now from Gearhart
Park to Seaside, and later to Elk
Creek and Astoria.
Mr, C. M. .Cartwright. who pur
chased the Seaside farm, has entirely
rebuilt and remodeled the hotel build
ing. The latter was erected by Ben
Holladay In 1S73, and its present ap
pearance will surprise its old friends
and acquaintances. Mr. Cartwright is
one of the financial backers of the
electric railroad line.
The electric light system has been
extended .to the, Seaside House and
Hermosa Park, and also throughout
Grimes" Grove. The city water sys
tem has been so extended that no"W
but few cottages are without city
water. Wells will soon be entirely
forgotten, and every cottage lighted
with electricity.
.
Seaside now claims a permanent
population of about 1300 people.
Gearhart Park presents an enliven
ing scene, with about 150 men. includ
ing carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers,
electricians, laborers, etc., at work.
Six new cottages have been erected

get a patent on It, but see what a tremendous success It Is!
I next invented, the Trolley Car System, just as it is run today. 1 made
it perfect and successful right from the start. It has never been improved
since I invented it. Look at the millions of money it has made for the stock
holders. The stock in the trolley manufacturing companies sold below 15
cents a share In 1S93 and 1894. Poor men could buy that stock then. Thousands
of them did buy it. and every one who held onto it is a rich man today.
No Man on Earth Ever Lost a Penny
He Invested With Me
If so, I will make it good. Next I Invented the Railway Car Telephone
System. It is a system by which passengers or train crews can telephone
from still or moving cars anywhere the same as if seated in an office. It is a
more perfect system in operation than any other telephone you ever saw.
This is on the road toward millions for the stockholders.
This Is My Greatest Invention
Now I have invented something bigger and greater than cither of the
above. It is called the Bidwell Cold Motor. It is guaranteed not to burn out
and is exactly the kind of a motor Che steam railroad people have been looking
for. It will change all the steam railroad systems over to electric roads, be
cause It will be cheaper to run than steam and can be run faster and more
safely than any present method.
The one drawback the railroads have had in changing over to electricity
has been that no motor as at present made can be run 10 miles at 60 miles
an hour without burning out. It would melt the very wires.
By using the Bidwell Cold Motor a train of cars, could be run from New
York to San Francisco without a stop at the rate of 60 or SO miles an nour
and not even warm up and without a hitch.
Besides running faster they would be more saf,e and sure that steam, cost
less to operate, and would last longer than any other motor now known.
The Bidwell Cold Motor Is the greatest Invention out since 1 invented the
trolley car.
