Real Estate Operations East
of River on the Boom.
NEW PLATS BEING OPENED
Many Cottages and Homes Are Going
Up In New Tracts, Wblle Great
Building Activity Is Shown
In the Suburban Districts.
Real estate sales on the East Side dur
ing the week showed an increase over the
two weeks previous. Those handling
suburban property say they are well
satisfied with sales and the outlook. This
Is especially the case with the newer
additions. Including the Rose City Addi
tion and East St. Johns. Hardly -a week
passes without the announcement of new
plats. All along the Peninsula real estate
Is active. New cottages are springing up
In the new tracts all the wav down to
the northwest end. Purchases In the
suhurbs are made in nearly every in
stance by homeseekers, and the ink Is
hardly dry on the deed of transfer be
fore ground is turned for the foundation
of a cottage or house and a load of lum
ber is being delivered. This movement,
too. Is free from the boom spirit. On.
the contrary there is every evidence of
substantial, permanent growth.
This is manifested In the erection of
homes in all directions. No account of
building permits is kept in the suburbs,
nod hence the daily issue of permits for
the city by no means indicates more
than perhaps 70 per cent of the actual
number of dwellings under construction
on the East Side. This indicates that
Portland is becoming in the widest sense
a city of homes. Men of moderate means
find no difficulty in securing a lot or
quarter block in the suburbs.
It is now conceded that Portland offers
the wage-earner unlimited facilities to
own his own home in some one of the
East Side suburbs. If an acre or two
Is wanted the land is to be had at rea
sonable prices on any of the suburban
railways, and acreage sales show that
this class of property- is finding ready
Bale.
Developing Business Centers.
Experiments in both East Portland and
Alblna In the opening of first-class busi
ness houses, with modern conditions, are
proving successful. Conditions are chang
ing. When a man started a business In
East Portland or Alblna heretofore he
was advised that a second-class line of
goods was all that was necessary and all
that conditions would warrant, but there
, has been a revolution within the past
few months. A large furniture house
was started in East Portland with mod
ern up-to-date surroundings. The finest
goods in the city were placed on display.
Old timers shook their heads, but the
proprietor went on and did business on
new lines for the East Side. He has
more than made eood, and demonstrated
that an up-to-date establishment on the
East Side will win out. And others are
following the same line.
Last week a house was opened on East
' Morrison street with up-to-date conditions
and high-grade goods. The display was
an Innovation, but It "took."
People on streetcars craned their necks
looking out of the windows at the up-to-flate
display. They had not seen suoh a
thing on the East ade before and were
astonished.
Last week over 100 of the leading busi
ness men of the Bast Side got together
In Oddfellows Hall. Grand avenue. They
told stories and smoked and made
speeches, and witnessed a sparring
match. There was some muslo. It was
the first time such a gathering was ever
held on the East Side. Everybody felt
better for the meeting. One thing was
brought out, and that is that up-to-date
methods will be adopted by East Bide
business men. Display windows are
lighted, stocks are of the higher grades,
and are arranged more attractively;
itreets are to be Lighted more generously
and kept cleaner.
Minister Buys a Home.
Rev. James B. Corby, the new pastor
tt the Church of Good Tidings, First
Unlversallst, has beoome a property
wner In East Portland. He has pur
Shased a lot of Otto Nelson in block
IS9. East Portland, for 300O. There Is a
sottage on the land. It Is near Bast
Burnslde street.
"Will Build Fine Home.
Lewis Montgomery has purchased a
ftalf block on East Salmon street, be
tween East Nineteenth and Twentieth
itreets, upon which he will erect a mod
rn residence, one of the finest on the
East Side. The dwelling will stand on
the quarter on East Twentieth street,
while the other quarter will be oocupied
as an extensive garage for Mr. Mont
gomery's automobiles. Provisions will be
Jiade for driveways and flower gardens.
Architect C. C. Robblns is drawing the
lans for the residence and buildings, the
cost of which will be about $16,000. The
residence will be of the olasslcal and
colonial style, with broken face stone
pavements, verandas, pedestals, but
tresses and copings. It will be. the most
expensive residence built on the East Side
- since the erection of the Walter Burrell
home on Hawthorne avenue. Mr. Mont
gomery is a member of the firm of Mann
4 Montgomery, timber dealers.

thorne Avenue Addition, for $1054.
In Lower Alblna.
The sale of block 55 in Lower Alblna
during the week for $24,000 may mark an
Important movement in that portion of'
the city, where there has not been much
realty movement. This block Is in the
warehouse, or factory district. It was
the property of the Montgomery estate,
and was bought by O. G-. Edwards as
an Investment. The main portion of the
property in Lower Alblna is considered
In the warehouse or factory district be
cause it Is along the O. R. & N. right-of-way.
Several new large establishments
hav already gone into that district. The
Acme -Milling Company has completed a
large mill costing $40,000. The Ingram
Company is erecting a vinegar factory on
Alblna avenue and Goldsmith street.
IK
v
When the Foster block on Alblna avenue
has been out down it will mean more
business property for that section. The
movement now is to cut down all the
high lots on Goldsmith street and Mis
sissippi avenue, an average of 20 feet.
The work being already under way. It
will also mark the disappearance of some
unsightly shacks.

Bredemetrer lot 13. in block 4. for $2850.

Will Erect Four-Story Building.
W. L. Morgan, who began to erect a
j three-story brick structure on Grand
avenue and East Stark street, has de
cided to put up a four-story struc
ture. Plans are being changed for the
addition. The fourth story will in
crease the cost of the structure from
$35,000 to $45,000, but Mr. Morgan feels
justified in adding the extra story. This
will necessitate putting in an elevator.
Foundation for the building is nearly
completed. On the sides facing East
Stark and the west several hundreds
of wooden piles were driven to secure
firm footing for the walls, owing to
the nature of the ground therft. Brick
and other building material are on the
ground.
WORK ON THE PENINSULA.
Plant for the Union Meat Company
Delayed Awaiting Machinery.
On the site secured by the Union
Meat Company on the Peninsula, com
monly called the Swift enterprise, a
vast amount of work must be accom
plished before building begins. Work
on the deepwater canal leading from
the Columbia will begin as soon as
the two dredges which have been or
dered are delivered. Draln&ge is to
be provided, and when the Portland
& Seattle out and trestle are completed
across the Peninsula and the road put
into operation, it is the purpose of the
owners of the plant to be ready . to
start up.
A street' rumor was current that
work on the plant had stopped because
of the impossibility of Swift & Co.
to float a large loan in the East on
account of the tight money market.
The loan was said to be offered to
provide an improvement fund, and un
der normal conditions doubtless would
have been easy to float. People in
Portland In a position to know the
facts say they know nothing of the
matter and say further that work is
progressing on the new site as rapidly
as conditions warrant.
Yesterday's Building Permits. -
J. H. Shields has taken out a per
mit to erect a $5000 two-story dwell
ing on Vancouver avenue, between
Killings-worth and Pearl. C. L. Schoen
feldt is also to build a dwelling on
Broadway street, corner of Victoria, at
a cost of $3000.
