NO HOLIDAY LULL
IN REALTY MARKET
Deals in Upper Washington
and Sixth Street Proper
tied Feature of Week.
MOVEMENT IS WESTWARD
Demand for Iots on Upper Washing
ton Street Shows That This
Property Hitherto Has Been
Greatly Underestimated.
"Operation! on upper Washington street
and on Sixth street have been the most
Important factors of the realty market
during the past week. On Sixth street,
north of Washington, the dealings have
simply been a continuation of a move
ment much in evidence throughout the
entire Fall and Winter. Several sales on
this thrrnuorbfn r hftva hnati ratA nn
during the week and more are pending.
On Washington street the transactions
are more numerous than they have been
for some time past. On the eastern
portion of the street very few sales have
been made for months, not because there
Is any lack of those who would buy. but
because the present owners practically
refuse to place their properties - on, the
market at any price.
The sales on upper Washington street
give every Indication that property In
that vicinity has been much underesti
mated In the past. It has always been
admitted that the business' center would
spread westward upon Washington street,
but until the present year, the rapidity
with which this movement would pro
gress was not appreciated. The large
business blocks which have recently been
constructed have changed the appear
ance of the entire upper portion' of the
street. Many other buildings will be
erected there during the next year, and
this heavy building movement has been
largely instrumental in Increasing prices.
An Instance of the Increased valuation
was the sale made by J. W. Cruthers
during the past week. Mr. Cruthers sold
the Commercial Hotel property, occupy
ing a quarter-block at the southeast cor
ner of Washington and Lownsdale streets
to the American Trust & Investment
Company for J100.000. The property was
bought by him two years ago for $24,000
and since that time there have been Im
provements added, amounting to about
$20,000. This Instance shows an Increase
of 150 per cent In land value, and dozens
iu outers couia De given wnere uio au
vance has been 100 per cent or more
during the same period.
Doubles In Fourteen Months.
Another case in point was the sale of a
EO-foot strip of property running from
Washington to Alder street, 50 feet west
of Sixteenth. It was owned by Martin
Rosenbaum who purchased it-14 months
ago for $13,300. The purchaser was S. B.
BogaTd, of Los Angeles and the price was
$27,600. The property adjoining- was pur
chased a few days previous .by Dan J.
Malarkey and Roger B. Sinnott. and was
also an Instance of rapid advance. Both
sales were made by E. J. Daly and W.
B. Streeter.
The same dealers have made the sale
of a quarter-block at the soAhwest cor
ner of Twentieth and Washington streets
for $27,500; the southeast corner of Wash
ington and King streets, for $27,600; the
Bouthwest corner of Washington and Ella
streets for $31,000. M. B. Taylor Is the
purchaser In the last sale. The names of
the other purchasers have been withheld.
The largest sale made on Sixth street
during the week was closed yesterday
when M. Rosenbaum and I. Lowengardt
acquired a fractional lot on the west side
of Sixth between Oak and Pine for $75,000.
The owner was S. T. Lockwood, and the
agents were Russell ft Blyth. This is the
old Jewish church property, 50x80 feet,
which was reported sold two weeks ago
for $70,000. At that time there was a mis
understanding over the contract and the
sale was not closed. The property has
changed hands several times In the past
few years, always at a large advance.
Dr. George A. Harker sold yesterday a
two-story brick on the east side of First
street, 50 feet north of Yamhill. The con
sideration was $50,000. The name of the
purchaser Is not announced. The building
occuplm a single lot and Is bringing in a
good revenue. C. K. Henry made the
sale.
An option has been taken by George
II. Elkerton and Prank F. Freeman for
the lease of a quarter block at the north
west corner of Fifth and Stark streets.
It Is understood that others are also In
terested in the deal, which Includes a
lease for a long period of years and will
be closed within a few days. The lessees
plan to erect an eight-story building on
the property. The land is a portion of the
old Matthew Brady homestead, and has
been advancing in value very- rapidly.
Fifth street s following close to Sixth
street In the number of Improvements
contemplated. This movement is especial-,
ly in evidence at Fifth and Stark streets.
At the southeast corner of this Intersec
tion F. Dresser & Co. have closed a lease
for the Prael-Hegele building and will
soon move there from their Washington
street establishment. At the southwest
corner Is the large Neustadter building,
which Is to be vacated by the ' present
tenants, who are to build In another lo
cality. The entire four floors of this build
ing will be ocoupied by J. G. Mack ft Co.
Fifth street will be greatly benefited by
the erection of the large Commercial Club
building at the corner of Oak street. This
project has been instrumental In turning
the tide of realty activity towards Fifth
street,
Xew Theater Project.
Another project which. If carried
through, will be of great benefit to the
northern section of the city is the pro
posed theater to be erected on the triangular-
block between Fifth, Sixth, Ankeny
and Fine .streets. Russell & Blyth, who
have proposed the scheme, are the own
ers of the property, which they hold at a
valuation of $225,000. The : theater, as
planned, will double this expenditure:
Russell & Blyth have agreed to subscribe
$170,000 for stock, and have-suggested that
merchants and .property-owners take the
remainder In blocks of $5000.
A few years ago this site would not
have been considered for theatrical pur
poses, but the Increased activity In this
district makes It more available. The pro
jectors call attention to the fact that it
-win Da especiaiy convenient to rJast aiders
who cross the Burnslde and Steel bridges.
It will alsc be given direct streetcar con
nection 'with the northeastern part of the
city by the jiew line which Is being laid
out Burnslde street to Washington. An
experienced Eastern theatrical architect
will be secured to prepare the specifica
tions. S. Morton Cohn is Interested in the
project, and will have charge of the col
lection of subscriptions.
Hardly a week passes without projects
for one or more apartment houses being
announced. Portland has, been consider
ably behind other cities of equal size in
the construction of such properties but
owners are now realizing that apartment
' houses are remunerative investments.
and are hastening their construction.
Cord Bengstake and F. A. Reischer are
planning an apartment house for the
northwest corner of Seventeenth and
Yamhill streets.- It will cover a quarter
block, and will be four or five stories In
height. Work on It. will be commenced
next Spring. ,
Dealings lrl ' small residence properties
are on the increase. Many sales of lots
in all parts of the residential district are
recorded each week. No small portion
of these are la the suburban tracts re
cently platted. From every Indication,
the home-building which has been so
much in evidence during the past year,
will Increase rather than diminish during
1907. - H. W. Lmcke -& Co. are planning
to place the Waverly-Kern tract on the
market about the first of the year. This
la one of the most attractive of the new
residence:, sections and sales there will
doubtless be rapid. The tract contains
800 lots which- will be placed on sale at
from $250 to $450.
B. S. Jackson has purchased the resid
ence of Mrs. H. M. Zan on the south side
of Kearney street, . between Twenty
fourth and Twenty-fifth. The considera
tion was $15,000.- Grlndstaff & Schalk
were the agents.
Realty dealers are much, encouraged by
the heavy volume of business now being
transacted As a usual thing, the weeks
preceding Christmas show a lull in the
market. That this has not held true this
year Is considered -an omen of unpreced
ented activity during the remainder of the
Winter and next Spring. Those on the
Inside of the market say that more
capital from other cities will be seeking
Investment In- Portland after January 1
than every before.

lng; In and reported the Glenericht
outside. -Captain Reed of the Walr
lula Immediately secured a pilot and
put to sea In search of the vessel, but
no sign of her could be sighted. Noth
ing more of her was heard until a
vessel answering her description ap
peared outside last Wednesday. At
that time the Northland had in tow
the derelict Melanope, and the Ta
toosh was struggling with the dis
abled Agate. The Glenericht' Is under
charter to Balfour, Guthrie Co., and

SIGHTS A DISMASTED BARK.
Glenericht Reports Derelict 2 00
Miles Off the Columbia River.
ASTORIA, Or'., Dec.-' 15. (Special.)
The four-masted British bark Glene
richt, which arrived In this evening, 32
days from San Diego, reports sighting
a three-masted loaded bark, dismasted,
on December 10, about nine miles north
and 200 miles west of the Columbia
River. 'Captain Evans states that on
the morning of December 10 he was
in latitude .46:24 north. longitude
126:25 west. A terrific southwest gale,
was oiowing ana at limes tne wina
attained a- velocity of fully 100 miles
an hour. . Early In the morning tlffe
Glenericht was In company with a
bark which appeared to have lost some
of her sails.
'About noon," said Captain Evans,
In speaking Of the Incident" this eve
ning, "the weather cleared, .and we
sighted the bark again and kept her,
In sight for nearly an hour. She was
apparently a loaded vessel, and was
steering queerly. She was to the
weather side , of us and about nine
miles away. Later in the day- we saw
the bark a thlrd time, but only the
hull was left, all the. masts having
gone overboard. I and all hands went
aloft to look: -for aboat or signs of
life on bpard, . but could make, out
nothing except the hull lying tiead to
the seas. -The hull was black, with
something white forward, either the
house or a boat. We were too far
off to make out what it was. "
"I think If anyone was on board
they were quite safe for the time. 'The
southeast gale was still blowing at a
hurricane rate, and I could not get a
boat to the wreck after dark. About
midnight we were again in the position
where we first sighted the wreok, but
could see no trace of her."
As the wreck was drifting slowly to
the north Captain Evans says he be
lieves that by noon today she would
have reached latitude 48:11 north and
126:25 west. The Glehericuv had a
very rougi trip up tfto vssct, but suf
fered no damage.
WZTEC LEAVES FOR ' SOUTH
San Francisco Packet Will Go Into
'. Coffee Trade.
' The steamship. Altec, which has been
operating between Portland and San
Francisco in connection with Harrlman
line boats for the past four months,
left down last - evening. This is the
last trip of the Aztec to 'this port, as
the demands of the coffee trade have
called for all the available tonnage of
the Pacific Mall Company. .
The departure of the Aztec, "will leave
Portland with a shortage of south
bound tonnage, as more freight is of
fering now than can be accommodated.
The San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company has exercised all known
methods to keep the Aztec, but it was
Impossible to make the Pacific Com
pany see the needs of this port.
EDWARD F. WEST IN DISTRESS
Schooner Towed Jnto San "Francisco
2 . Harbor Yesterday. '; '
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 15. The
schooner Edward F. West, bound from
Gray's Harbor for this port, was picked
up by the steamer Olympic December
12, off Trinidad, in a waterlogged con
dition, and part of her deckload. gone.
She was towed into port this morning.
The schooner- sailed from Aberdeen,
Wash., November 27, with 1.O20.310 feet
of lumber. She was commanded by
Captain H. Smith and was a compara
tively netv vessel, having been built at
Aberdeen in 1902.
SHORT OX PROVISIONS. .
Ship W. F. Babcock Puts Into Hono
lulu Coming Here.
Dispatches to the Merchants' Ex--change
yesterday, announced the arri
val in Honolulu of the American ship
W. F. Babcock, Bailey master, short of
water and provisions. The- Babcock
is overdue at this port, being out 186
days from Baltimore, Md. The report
yf her arrival in the Hawaiian . port
has relieved the minds of J'her con
signees considerably. . ;'
Thel Babcock is one of the old type
of American-, ships, and was built In
Bath, Me., 24 years ago. Although
old-, sh. is able to take care of her
self in nasty weather, and shipping
men predicted that she would turn up
all right. In all probability Captain
Bailey kept well to the westward when
he began to experience bad weather,
and, -unnlng short- of provisions,
headed for the- islands. There Is an
old saying among skippers on the
Coast to the effect that "safety lies
to the west."
The Babcock is consigned to the
Cumberland Coal Company and carries
4000 tons of blacksmith coal. While
a valuable ' cargo and greatly needed
tiere at the present time, it will hav
no great effect on the coal situation.
The venerable craft will probably ar
rive within 30 days, although much
better time than that has been made
between Honolulu and Portland. In
1900 the British bark Kinfauns sailed
over in 11 days.- Heavy weather kept
her outside four days and she docked
at "Portland 17 days after leaving the
island port.
STEAMER MAXISTIQUE SAFE
Arrives at Port Arthur With All on
Board . Safe.
DULUTH, Doc. 15. A dispatch from
Port Arthur, Ont., says that the steam

The wrecking steamer Manistique
collided with the steamer Ireland near
Duluth Friday night. The Ireland was
disabled. The tug George Crosby,
which was, assisting the Manlstique,
took the crew off the Ireland and 'in
doing so one man was lost.
- Bessie Dollar Loses Anchor.
Dispatches from Astoria state that
the steamship Bessie Dollar lost her
anchor in the lower harbor and mem
bers of he crew were trying to pick
up the lost hook. The Dollar sailed
from Portland Friday morning with a
full cargo of wheat for the Orient.

Judge Compliments Mr. Oatman.
John R. Oatman has found that -everybody
reads The Oregonian, for his friends
have been twitting him on his belliger
ency ever since the report of the attack
which roughs made on him was pub
lished. In fact Mr. Oatman was simply
attacked by rowdies whom he did not
know and with whom he had no previous
association. When the case was called
and the -rowdies were fined Judge Came
ron took occasion to compliment Mr.
Oatman in a manner that should at least
