PROPERTY VALUES
A
Prevailing Prices on Revenue
Basis and Conditions More
Than Satisfactory.
BUSY. FALL IN PROSPECT
Mi $ tons ""of Dollars Tlecelved for
Oregon Crops This Year Certain
to Result in Heavy Real
ty Dealing.
Few large sales of realt estate have
been reported during- the past week, but
the healthy tone of the market prevails,
and' there Is every indication that the
Fall rush of business is not far distant.
Phenomenally large transfers of residence
property continue to be the feature of
the dealing, and they in themselves are
considered a very favorable sign. On
every side are heard expressions of com
plete satisfaction with present condi
tions as applied to local realty.
The great thing in Portland is that
there has been no fictitious inflation of
values. As. a. writer in an Eastern. mag
azine recently said of Portland, there has
been "no capitalization of the future."
Although prices have Increased greatly
during the past two years it has been
because the income-bearing capacity of
the property has likewise increased. Be
yond this line the substantial business
spirit of Portland has not gone. al
though there is more to base speculative
values on here than in many cities where
over-zealous operators have forced
prices far beyond the line of safety.
No ' Inflated Values Here.
To 'this spirit of carefulness is due the
satisfactory condition that is the topic
of dealers and investors at present. The
tightening of the money market is al
ways the test of property valuations. It
Is during such periods that prices will be
gin to waver if they are not substantially
bawl. Fnr this reason the "stringency
In the teastefiv money market has not
borne down on the Portland market.
While the market is dead' and prices
weakening in other cities where fictitious
values prevailed, local real estate is
stronger than ever before.
'.'Although sales of business property
have not been numerous during the Sum
mer, I do not know of a single transac
tion that has shown a reduction In
prices," said John Kiernan, a member of
the firm of Brooke & Kiernan. "There
Is not to my knowledge even one instance
where prices have been lowered the
Ellghtest amount. Portland property is
paying good revenue on the money In
vested in It. our citizens are prosperous,
they do not have to sell, and they realize
their investments here are absolutely
sound.
"In my opinion the tightening of the
money market all over the country was
a good thing for Portland. If money had
remamed as plentiful as 1t was specula
tion might have forced local values too
high, although "Portland is not that kind
of a city. As It is. there has not been
tne sugntest lmiation, ana r-orwauu real
ty is solid as a rock."
Each Month Shows Gain.
That there has not really been a lull
In Portland realty, other than the usual
Summer decrease In business. Is shown
by the fact that every month of the pres
ent year, up to and including August,
has shown a larger volume of transac
tions by the official . figures. Sales of
Inside property have by no means been
scarce, and in residence transfers the
business has been enormous. The sale of
lots and the building of dwellings has
steadily increased, a certain indication
both of prosperity and of growing popu
lation, as empty residences in Portland
are as scarce as the proverbial hen's
; ? . . , . -- : ;
"Tj prirdict " that ; if 'will be a busy, Fall
In" realty circles," said Joseph Healy yes
terday. "There, is every reason to be
lieve that the market will be buzzing
with activity very soon. A regular stream
of gold is flowing into the' state, as the
large crops are being disposed of at rec
cord prices. This will bring in millions
of dollars, and is sure, to stimulate the
buying here.' .:.-.-
"As a matter of fact local prices are
firmer today than they ever were be
fore." '. said George Schalk,: another
dealer'.' "Not only that, but property is
exceedingly hard to buy at the recognized
market level of prices. The hardest work
at present is to find owners who are will
ing to sell
CLUBHOUSE IS UNDER WAY
BUILDING IN' ALBINA PARISH TO
COST $12,000.
Plans Nearly Complete fpr St. Fran--"ils
Church, to Involve Expendi
ture v of $100,000.
.Work has been started pn the club
house' of the Catholic Young Men of the
Alblna -parish. -.The basement, on Morrta
Street, just east of Williams avenue, was
completed several months ago. It is now
planned to lay the cornerstone of this
clubhouse In a few days with appropriate
ccramonies, after which the work of con
struction will be pushed forward as rap
idly, as possible. ".. .
It wiir be a three-story frame building,
and will contain all- that is needed to
make-It a first-class clubhouse, which
will be under the control of the board of
directors. The cost of the building when
completed will be about $15,000. It had
been hoped to build for less, but the cost
of labor and material made that diffi
cult,' if riot impossible.' -..
-PUuia for" the ' St.- Francis Catholic
Church, to be erected on the north half
of the block on East Pine. East Eleventh,
East Twelfth and East Oak streets, are
nearly completed by Architect Faber,
and contractors will start figuring on
the cost, the latter part of, the month.
The structure will be gothlc in style. The
final '"cost ' with the decorations will be
above $100.000... but that sum will not be
expended en. the church at present as it
will take several years to complete and
decorate the building. Even more money
may "be expended in decorations than in
tha erection of the church. Father Blaak,
whtn Mu Europe last year, examined
churches and gathered ideas as to the
df rations of his own church.
The handsome bank building at East
Thirteenth street and Umatilla avenue,
Pcllv.cod, is completed. - and nearly all
h? rooms are 'occupied. The Bank of
P(lw'oM occupies tha corner. room. White
prcsseiJ" -brick ws used ' for- the-- trim

A large number' of attractive homes are

being built. at Sellwood. The residence of
Dr. J. W. Grim, on East Thirteenth
street, costing J5C00, would be -a credit
anywhere in the city.
J. H. Nolta is' building a two-story
frame building on Killingsworth avenue,
at a cost of 6000. ' Mr. Nolta has decided
that he will provide a public hall on the
second floor. Mr. Nolta Is also prepar
ing to erect another business building
on Killingsworth avenue in the near fu
ture. '
The tract purchased last week on East
Twenty-ninth street and the Base Line
road by the Oregon Realty Company will
be improved with the erection of a num
ber of houses. The cost was $12,000.
SITE PURCHASED FOR CHURCH
Epworth Methodists Will Build Edi
fice on Savier Street. ,
A church to cost $10,000 will soon be
erected by the Epworth Methodist Epis
copal congregation. A site for the new
edifice has just been bought at the north
west corner, of Twenty-sixth and Savier
streets. It was sold by P. L. Willis for
$4650 T. S. McDanlels, president of the
extension society of the church is author
lty for the announcement.
Waldo F. Steward, who made this sale,
has also sold a portion of the French
block in St. John. The building is oc
cupied by a bakery. It was owned by
George Waldschmidt and purchased by
E. C. Heltbrink for $4000.

Miss Lucy Broad will give her lecture
on "Our Work Under the Southern
Cross," with 75 lantern views from Mada
gascar and South Africa, at the First
Christian Church, corner Park and Co

DEPOT PROJECT UP ISE1
EAST SIDE WOULD REVIVE OLD
ISSUE.
Improvement Association Consider
ing Proposal to Make Cement
Blocks for Structure at Cost,
A local manufacturer of concrete
building blocks has come forward with
a proposal to manufacture the blocks
for the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany on East First and East Morrison
streets. The following communica
has been received by the East Side
Improvement Association:
Learning- of your efforts to Induce the
Southern Railroad Company to replace with
a modern and substantial depot tone that will
be a credit to the company, as well as ade
quate to the size and growth of our magnltl
cent East Side). tha present uninviting
"hack," and being aware of the refusal on
account of cost by the company, the Eillott
Regan Company makes, through your asso
ciation, the following offer to the Southern
Railroad Company:
The Elliott-Regan Company will donate the
use of their machines for making hollow ce
ment blook-'.y and make the blocks for any
size or design of building that may be of
fered by the company. t no expense to the
company other than the exact cost f ma
terial and labor. The railroad company to
furnish the material and pay our operators
on the machines the same wage as ws our
selves pay them, $3. SO per day.
We enclose Illustrations of depot buildings
on the. Oregon Short Line In Utah and Idaho
built with the Ideal concrete block, the cam
as used by ourselves. Should this Offer be
accepted, we can assure your association and
the railroad company that cost of construc
tion will be much leas than of frame and be
everlasting.
The association will hold a meeting
next Tuesday night in the office of
Buchtel & Kern, East Morrison and
East Third streets, when the foregoing
proposition will be taken up. "The
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
was preparing to erect a frame depot
on East First and East Morrison
streets, when objection was raised. A
consultation with General Manager
O'Brien left the matter unsettled.
There Is now a desire to have the
Issue revived, together with the pro
posed East Side freight depot.

HEAVY DEMAND
FOR RESIDENCES
Rental Signs Are Few and
Houses Snapped Up as
Soon as Vacated.
GROWTH OF THE EAST SIDE
Sales of the We.ek Mostly Small, bat
Numerous in All Sections of the
Residence Districts Prices -Remain
Firm, as Usual.
The demand for bouses on the East
Side is still increasing, according to real
estate dealers and agents, and the de
mand cannot be fully met In spite of the
great number of new houses that are
being erected. Joseph Buchtel says that
Inquiries for small houses renting for
$15 to $25 a month are very frequent, and
when a house is vacated it is snapped
up at once. Mall & Von Borstel make
the same report. f
Many of the large dwellings as far back
as East Tenth street in Central Bast
Portland have been turned Into rooming
houses, the demand for such places be
ing so great. It is rare that a "For
Rent" sign is seen on the East Side
nearer In that East Thirty-ninth street.
This condition is unusual for the first
part of September, when people are just
coming back from the mountains and
coast. It is expected the demand will in
crease toward the- close of the month,
and during October. A small proportion
of the new houses are for renting pur
poses, but are mostly occupied by the
owners. However, there are many being
built for rent, as high returns are quite
an inducement. The building permits
show no decrease but have rather In
creased "even during the Summer. Be
sides houses built inside the city, there
are a great many which are built outside
the city limits of which no record is
made.
Sales in Alblna.
The constantly increasing list of new
Bast Side homes extending to the most
remote suburbs at Sellwood. Mount Ta
bor and toward the Columbia River, ex
plains the many sales of lots. There Is
not an addition in which sales are not
made almost dally. Alblna is near the top
In the matter of residence sales. Alfred
Malston sold to A. Cochran lots 1 and 2,
block 23, Central Alblna, for $3750. John
Swanson sold to Charles O. Swanson the

$4009. Charles Courtney sold to B. M.
Barton lot 9. block 3, Abend's Addition
to Albina. for $2500.
At Highland Howard W. Galloway sold
to Martin Sattler lots 3 to 12, biock 15.
for $4250. These sales include eight lota,
the largest sale at Highland for some
time. Another sale at Highland was that

field, north XiVt feet of lot 3, block 3, for
$2004.

Streetcar Line Extended.
The Russell-Shaver railway line has
been extended from its former terminus
at Willamette boulevard west through the
Overlook tract, formerly the Abrams &
Knox tract, a distance of about 1000 feet.
The line now runs to the top- of the bluff
overlooking the Willamette River. A
number of attractive homes are being
built in Overlook. The Polish Church
on Failing street has been inclosed and
will soon be completed at a cost of $12,
000. Multnomah Addition, Alblna, Is moving
forward rapidly. Streets are being im
proved and new houses erected. M. E.
Thompson is having plans prepared for
a two-story brick bank building to be
put up at Mississippi avenue and Shaver
streets to cost $25,000. .
In East Portland, mainly for residence
purposes, lots bring from $3000 up. Con
siderable residence property has changed
hands. Very soon property as far east as
Bast Tenth street will be classed as busi
ness locations. It is now considered so
on East- Burnside, East Morrison, East
Alder, East Stark and all the streets
south of East Morrison to Hawthorne
avenue. While the property is occupied
by dwellings at present in this territory,
tha residence district is rapidly moving
east of East Twelfth street. Erection of
the Masonic building on East Burnside
and East Eighth streets will carry the
business district up to East Tenth street.
The steady progress on the' big fills in
Central Bast Portland will greatly ben
efit the district. As soon as the streets
Trust Company Service
A well-organized and equipped Trust Company can
render a valued service in any community- The broad
trend of business transactions renders such service im
perative, but to be effective the company must not only
be thorough and modern in its methods, but safe and
sure in its dealings. In short, it must have the confidence
of the public.
This Company endeavors to so characterize its every
transaction, seeking to build surely rather than swiftly.
It solicits all business that can be properly and credit
ably handled.
Other than a general trust business, it maintains Com
mercial and Savings Departments, paying interest on
Savings Accounts -and Fixed-Term and Special Certifi
cates, receives deposits subject to check, and does a
general banking business.
