Reajty brokers have been more than
satisfied with the business of the past
week. The dealing has been the heaviest
for several months and some of the
purchases may mean erection of large
buildings in the near future. Although
block at the northwest corner of
Thirteenth and Washington streets, which
he will Improve, A Ave. or stxrstory apart
ment house will be erected upon it, but
work will not begin before next Spring.
Washington-Street Progress.
The appeairance of Washington street
has shown many changes during the past
six months and It is evident that It will
not be long before all of the frame build
ings on that thoroughfare will
be replaced by substantial bricks.
The seven-story Sweetland building
and the six-story Buchanan build
ing are among the most Important Im
provements now under way on Washing
ton street. They have replaced old frame
structures at the southeast corner of the
Intersection with Fifth, street. At Tenth
and Washington, the five-story Fliedner
building has been completed, as has also
the five-story Lazarus apartment house
at Fourteenth and Washington. Mrs. SI.
M. Gearin Is now erecting a fine brick at
Thirteenth and Washington, which is di
agonally across the street from the site
upon which Mr. Cohn will build next
Spring.
Morrison Lots In Demand.
Many changes are also under way or
contemplated on Morrison street. Property
on this street, both near the river and
bevond the central business district. Is In
demand. The largest sale of the week on
Morrison street was that of the Woodard
and Gilbert property to E. E. Lytle for
$50,000. The property sold Is a quarter
block at the northwest corner of Thir
teenth and Morrison streets. It Is occupied
by two large residences and no Immediate
changes are contemplated by the new
owner.

several especially large sales have
somewhat overshadowed the minor
transactions, a really notable feature
has been the sales of dwellings and res
idence sites.
Large sales are still indicating the
faith which men of large capital have
In Portland. The purchase of the annex
to the Dekum building by Charles
Sweeny was the largest and most signifi
cant sale of the week. Mr. Sweeny,
many times a millionaire, is recognized
everywhere as one of the shrewdest in
vestors in the Northwest. He is fa
miliar with conditions in Seattle and
other cities on the Pacific Coast, as
well as with those In the East, and has
selected Portland as more favorable for
investment than any of the others.
Practically all his most recent pur
chases of realty have been In this city
and it is known that he has in con
templation the outlay of much, more
money here.
Sweeny's Coming Means a Buy.
It is seldom that Mr. Sweeny visits
Portland and leaves without Investing
S100.000 or more. His purchase of the
Dekum annex during his visit this week
Is supposed to Involve a consideration
in the neighborhood of $150,000. This is
only a small part of the entire value
of property he has negotiated for. how
ever. He has made several handsomo
offers for some of the choicest holdings
In the central business district of the
city. but no agreement has been
reached. Mr Sweeny leaving for New
York without closing . the purchases. ; It
is not Improbable, however, that the ne
gotiations begun may lead to some large
deals in the near future.
Portland property valued at something
more than tl. 700,000- is owned by Mr.
Sweeny. The fact that it was' all ac
Quired withm the past two years at a
cont of about $1,146,000 shows the gen
eral' advance In inside property In Port
land, and his profits will probably en
courage the Spokane capitalist to still
larger outlays here. Among other things
he Is known to have under considera
tion is the improvement of the Dekum
homestead on upper Morrison street.
He would have erected a handsome hotel
on this property some time ago. If It
' haa not been for the proximity of the
property, to the High School. Because
of this, it would be unlawful to sell
liquor; oh the premises, and as a fash'
ionable hotel would not be a paying in-
vestment without a bar. Mr. Sweeny
was compelled to give up the plan. It
Is rumored that he Is considering the
construction of a large apartment house
on this property. He is now having
several Important changes made in the
interior of the Dekum building, which are
being supervised by his Portland agents,
Rountree & Diamond.
Sees East and Sound, Buys Here.
The purchase of the M. A. Gunst
quarter-block at the northwest corner
of Eleventh and Washington streets by
S. Morton Cohn for JU5.000 is another
significant sale, so far as showing the op
portunitles which are offered by Portland
realty. Mr. Cohn has recently returned
from an extended trip In the East and
abroad. He visited many Important East
ern cities and upon hiB return to the
Coast stopped at Seattle and Tacoma. All
of the time he kept his eyes open for de
sirable Investments but concluded on re
turning that Portland offered more de
sirable Investments than he had seen In
any other city. He lost no time In open
ing negotiations for the fine quarter-block
which the San Francisco cigar dealer had
placed on the market and closed the deal
Thursday through Goldsmith & Co.
Mr. Cohn has already employed an
architect to prepare specifications for a
six-story building for his new holding.
In all probability it will be an office struc
ture with stores on the ground floor, and
will be commenced within the next SO
days.- Mr. Cohn also owns a quarter-

the time the sale was made. The price
was $S5,000, and Mr. Baker bought the
eame property four years ago for $15,000.
'It was no lack of faith in the city
which prompted me to sell." said Mr.
Baker, when asked of an expression con
cerning realty in Portland. "I was sim

me if I declined to make $20,000 in so short

for speculation are here now. for recent
