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."

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. -

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. Strand

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

The property consists of lots 7, 8, 9

ASK CONGRESS TO
AID PEACE PLAN
P. H. 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. The
employer and employe must remember
that this third party the public at large,
whether it be great or small, State or
