THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 3, 1908. TRANSFERS UP TO LAST YEAR No Falling Off in Point of Num bers, Though Amounts Are Less. MARKET WILL BE ACTIVE feouth and North Ends Looked To tor Greatest Building Movement - "When Spring Season Opens. ' Demand lor Residences. There Is good evidence to prove that little. It any, depression exists In the real estate market. That evidence Is furnished In the records of transfers reported dally. The records show that about the same number of transfers are being made as at this time last year, although In point of considera tion the first week last year exceeded that of this year, on account of large Individual deals that were concluded In January. 1907. Among those were the Swift purchase on the Peninsula; the Misses Falling lots In Ardmore. $75. 000; Pacific Coast Syrup Company block, $30,000, and the H. Wemme purchase and sale of the quarter block at Third and Davis, 65,000- A noticeable feature of the transac tions recorded for the past few weeks is that most of the sales are of lots In residence sections, mostly In the out skirts of the Kast Side, and of small acreage tracts in the same localities. Sales have been made of a number of parcels of land during the last week in which the consideration was not pub lished, but on the basis of prices that are given In the records, the Inference can safely be made that values are keeping up to those ruling during the Fall. As an Instance, the undivided half of two lots In Proebstel's Addition to Alblna sold for 115.000, which Is an advance on former recent sales In that section of the city. No Inside property of consequence figured in transactions during the week, for the sufficient rea son that none Is for sale. - More Buyers Than. Sellers. Nearly every dealer reports that he hss orders on his books for improved business property, vbut that orders can not be filled, even at some advance over prices prevailing last Summer. Several quarter blocks with Inferior improvements In the business center, or near thereto, are looked upon by dealers as possible purchases before a great while, in spite of the fact that they have vainly tried for months to "Jar them loose." Investors have already begun to turn their attention to the district south of Alder street between the river and Sev enth, as the coming' extension of the so-called business center. From First to Seventh, and even to West Park, along Alder, Morrison, Yamhill and Taylor, there Is a brisk building move ment) and other Important undertakings blocked out for the Spring. The pro posal to erect a Joint city and county building on the site of the old Court house; the new Failing building at Fifth and Yamhill; the Stearns build ing on Fourth, near Yamhill; the re cently opened Lenox at Third and Main; the Gerlinger at Alder and Sec ond; the Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C A. build ing, and probably a new Postoffice building are among the larger struc tures In that district either completed, under process of construction or pro jected? Dealers recognizing this trend of Improvement In the district are almost-unanimously of the opinion that when Spring opens there will be a marked activity In realty In. the sec tion referred to, which will gradually extend southward. Another factor to be considered in the prediction that the South End has a bright future is the opening of the Halera electric road. With the term inal station situated at Jefferson street, passengers will arrive in ihe city at the edge Qf the district and will pass through It in coming to the present center of retail business. It is argued that business will go to meet this Incoming travel. Already those in the vicinity of the terminal station are awakening to the possibili ties in store fqr them. Hotels and lodging-houses are being built, besides .a number of new store buildings and the enlargement of old ones. Activity In North End. With the opening of Spring several large warehouses are to be started in the North End wholesale district. Many desirable sites in that part of the rliy have been secured by firms that Intend moving from the downtown dis trict. The vicinity of the terminal yards of the Northern Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Portland & Seattle Is practically now in the own ership of concerns that have chosen that locality on account of shipping facilities offered snd proximity to the froight sheds, effecting great saving in the matter of hauling. In the Albina waterfront district, several Important sales have been made to firms who will either build new en terprises or Improve those already lo cated there. All along the lower river districts, including St. John, there Is prospect of a continuous line of factories- and mills soon to occupy the en tire front in. the next few months. There Is not a real estate man In the city who does not express the opin ion that the next few months will wit ness a revival of business in their line, and In doing so. adds the remark . that the present Winter shows slight falling off as compared with the last two years. There is a weeding out of speculators concerns that plunged on credit and that means holding the business in legitimate lines. The healthiest feature of the present mar ket, they say. is that ho property Is offered at lower prices than those pre vailing at late last Summer and Fall, but that a conservative advance Is maintained all along the line. MOVEMENT TO OPEN STREETS Waverly-RlcJimond JMstflct Desires to Improve Line Road. Residents of Waverly-Richmond have started a movement to make a street out of the Section Line road between East Twenty-sixth street to the city limits, which will make It a street to South Blount Tabor. This is the main artery for that portion of the city, and it is in tad condition. It is desired to place It within the power of the property-owners to petition to have It improved. A school house will be built this year on Haber sham and Section road, and better streets are needed surrounding the grounds. In the southeast section, also there is a gen eral movement to open and improve the streets. It is realised that the community cannot be built up unless streets are im proved. Both the Waverly-Richmond and Kenilworth Push Clubs are agitating improvement of streets, especially some of the important ones. The latter club wants East Thirtieth improved south from Powell street, and also Gladstone avenue between East Twenty-sixth, street and Ivanboe, a distance of over one mile. Gladstone avenue will open up an exten sive territory in the direction of Ivanhoe and Woodstock. It is also felt that one or more streets should be opened to the Oddfellows' Home, south of Kenilworth. It was reported at the last meeting of the Kenilworth Club that the owner of the tract would probably consent to have a street opened to Holgate, the street on the north side of the Home tract. The opening and dedication of the new dormi tory will largely Increase the number of visitors there. COUNCIL) CREST IS LEASED A. Duchamp to Improve Observa- . tory Site for Visitors. A Duchamp, who for years main tained the observatory on Portland Heights and who last year moved It to Council Crest, has effected a lease for a term of years from the owners of Council Crest property, W. K., W. V. and Susan W. Smith, and announces his purpose to have the site put into first-class condition for the accommo dation of visitors, who. will have free admission to the grounds from the Crest line of cars or by roadway. Among the improvements Mr. Duchamp will make on the grounds will be a building in which will be displayed pictures of scenery elsewhere In Ore gon. Washington and California, thus affording visitors to Council Crest an opportunity of seeing the natural won ders of the Pacific Coast States In one place. By May 1 the park will have been cleared of stumps and the grounds cleaned, new buildings for the accom modation of persons visiting the spot, and altogether an expenditure of 500 to make Council Crest more attractive than ever It has been before. During the Spring and Summer the park will be lighted by electric lamps so that visitors may remain after dark and see the city lying at the base in the splendor of Its "evening dress." ST. J F COMMERCIAL. CT.CB TAKES ON RENEWED LIFE. Efforts Made to Bring; New Factor ies to Peninsula City Corn-Flake . Plant Is About - Ready. The St. John Commercial Club has taken on new life, largely under the Inspiration of Secretary' George J. Perkins and some of the other public-spirited citizens. Meet ings are now held regularly in the club's handsome rooms In the Holbrook Block. A social feature has been added to the programmes which increases the useful ness of the organization, bringing it into closer touch with the people. Dances and card parties and receptions are being given in the rooms. At present the club is negotiating with a Portland magazine for an illustrated article setting forth the advantages of the town. The club is also preparing to do active work during the year in the way of inducing the establish ment of manufacturing plants in St. John. Whatever promises to add to the com mercial Interests, growth and prosperity .of St. John is sure to receive encourage ment from the club. With apartments comfortably furnished and convenient to the public, the organization hopes to be come a stronger factor than ever In the business life of St. John. The Oregon Corn Flake Company Is a new corporation with a capital stock of $10,000, and the Incorporators are D. I Page, Susie Page and A. M. Esson, Re corder of St. John. The plant comprises a building 40x40 and is completed and is located at Northern Hill, near St. John, at a cost of $5000. Machinery is now be ing installed, and It is announced that the plant will be in operation about January 15. It will have a capacity of from 150 to 200 cases of corn flakes per day. Corn used will be brought from Kansas. - New Hotel for Alder Street. Announcement Is made that Gustave Rosenblatt is to erect a eight-story hotel on the quarter block at the southwest corner of Tenth and Alder streets, oppo site the Pennoyer block Tenants at present occupying the residences on the site have leases running until April next, and when they move out. It is sal the houses will be removed bodily to prop erty owned by the Rosenblatt estate, at Eleventh and Columbia, and that opera tions will at once be begun on the hotel. East Side Lot Sold. E. P. Mall has sold for Ben , Briger to Otto Nelson 60x100 on, the Korthwest corner of East Sixteenth and Tillamonk streets for $1,550. Mr. Nelson resold the same at an advance of $100 to J. E. Nelson.

NO EVIDENCE OF y East Side Renters Pick Up All Houses Offered Soon - as Built. ACREAGE IN GOOD DEMAND Prospects for Building, According to Plans Prepared and Under Way, Show Last Year's Rec ' ord Will Be Kept Up. . That there is no over-building on the East Side is the testimony of all real es tate men handling property In that por tion of the city. This conclusion .la reached from the constant demand for rSWlr i J?- Iff ff & - ; J Sft , OVERBUILDING I'M & k SEW APARTMENT. HOUSE, IONIC COURT, AT EItiHTEETH AMD COUCH STREETS. houses to rent, and the difficulty with which they are supplied at this time. Signs "For Rent" are rarely seen in any direction, either close in or In the sub urbs. "People are coming to ua for small houses, either to rent or to purchase," said an East Side real estate man yes terday, "but our list of houses for rent shows a very limited number at this time. It does not appear from tills conditibn that bouses have been built faster than required, but on the contrary, more houses are needed badly. I am looking for a continuous building year. It will be even better than the past year in that respect," Even with the present work in band, of all kinds, there will be little abatement In building operations this Winter, be sides there Is as much new work In the aggregate started, as can be seen by in vestigation. A number of apartment houses are to be built, for which plans are being drawn. One of the most Im portant structures, of this character is that of J. Lankin, to be built at the cor ner of Larrabee and Dupont streets, at a cost of $10,000. Architect Schacht is pre paring plans for this flat, which will be ready during the present month. A bun galow and residence are to be built on Clinton and Twenty-second streets, each to cost $3000. W. B. Wiggins is having plans drawn for a Swiss chalet, to be erected on Clackamas and Eafit Twenty second streets. Plans have been com pleted for a home for George P. Mundell on East Seventeenth and .Clackamas streets, to contain 11 rooms, to cost $6500. Work will be started on this building as soon as the contract is let, which will be this month. A handsome residence for Mrs. P. J. Colburn.will be built at once on East Sixteenth and Halsey streets, work to start very soon. Plans are be ing drawn for two houses of six rooms each on East Thirtieth and Alder streets, at a total cost of $4000. W. P.

Residents Buy Acreage. Portland people are securing acreage ticts, as may be seen from the report of Osburn Bros., who have sold ten 24 acre pieces in Osburn tract, near Fair view, "on the Fairvlew branch of the O. W. P. Those who purchased tracts are J. W. Thomas, Henry Albright, Carrie A. Walker, Dr. Kittie Plummer, 10 acres to E. T. Reichman, of California, and five acres to O. G. Huston. It Is the lnten- A. N IsSfl V 1 a ' i 't rn; Vf Jli&l, Jr-; .tsr V i tion of the purchasers of these tracts to build Summer homes. Besides these small sales, there have been numerous transfers of 10 and 30-acre tracts near this new rail way branch. Residence .Proper ty In Demand. Sales In residence property and acre age have been numerous during the week, with perhaps a gain to some ex tent over the former week. J. A. Ep ping bought a half block in Kenil worth from L C. Clodfelter for $4000. The property consists of lots 7, 8, 9 and ' 10, in ' block 16. The sale Is the largest made in Kenilworth for months past, but that portion of the city is rapidly coming to the front.

Scullin Expects Help of Government in . Cause of Industrial Harmony. HOPES TO BANISH STRIKES Project Is to Settle Trouble Between ' Capital and Labor by Arbitra tion and Force of Public Opinion. P. H. Scullin, - father of the National Industrial Peace Association, an organi zation with the object of preventing and settling strikes, is staying at the Port land Hotel. . - . ' "The plan of the association is that each sidie shall appoint an arbitrator and the two appoint a third to represent the public at large, and that these three shall learn and publish all the facts whenever -a labor and capital dispute arises," said Mr. Scullin last night. "Beyond doing these two things the assoclatio'n seeks no power. We depend on two things the publishing of the whole truth concerning every labor dispute, and the power of public opinion to settle It. The associa tion has received the indorsement of sev eral hundred leading organizations in this country, reqresenting labor, capital and those In between." Mr. Scullin exhibited roll after roll of official documents from all the Chambers of Commerce on the Pacific Coast, scores of labor unions coyering all classes of trade, and leading capitalists. - Among them were letters from the Portland Chamber of Commerce, the Portland Commercial Club, the Citizens Alliance of Denver, and numerous local labor ufalons. . " "I am giving my life to this work,' con tinued Mr. Scullin. "In a short time I shall go to Washington to lay the matter before Congress, and with official indorse ments such as I have here, representing millions of laboring men and thousands of capitalists and employers whose com bined wealth runs over $1,000,000,000, have hopes at last, after seven years' work, of getting some legislation through in favor of settling strikes by arbitration. We have the co-operation of President Roosevelt and the signed indorsement of many of the National leaders. Strike Statistics. "Between the years 1881 and 1901 the lorn in wages to employes of establish ments in which strikes occurred amounted to $257,863,478. The loss to employes due to lockouts during the same -period ampunted to $48,819,745, or a grand total loss to employes, from strikes and lock outs, of $306,683,233. The loss to employers from strikes and lockouts during this same period amounted to $142,659,104. "Statistics compiled by the United States Commissioner of Labor, .covering many years, show that labor loses $2.60 for every dollar that capital loses through strikes and lockouts. , There are no statistics to show the losses to the gen eral' .population, the country at large. They are too large and too Intricate to be measured with any accuracy: "I assert, and without fear of success ful contradiction, that the disturbing or unjUBt element on either side does not amount to 10 per cent, and yet this vicious fraction is permitted to upset our industrial equilibrium, on account of the indifference of the other 90 per cent. If we would In future observe the first law of nature, self-preservation, in our Industrial life, at least, we must give over our wasteful labor wars. Employ ers and their employes must come to gether In the same association for the one avowed and special purpose of ar ranging and developing a plan whereby all labor disputes may. and will be set tled on a basis of justice without either strikes or lockouts, boycotts or black lists. Men Strike Unwillingly. "The great majority of men who work for wages are anxious to' work. Their living depends on getting their wages regularly and on knowing what they are to receive. Such men go Into a strike (unwillingly, -urged into it by the hot heads, usually those who have no family to support, those who. If they are de feated in the strife, can without much trouble -change their location and try it some where esle. "It is expressly understood that this organization shall have absolutely noth ing to do with partisan politics or the furthering of selfish aims or private am bitions and that justice and right dealing shall be our motto in the consideration of all questions. - "The three parties to a strike are em ployers, employes and the public.
