REVIEW OF REAL
ESTATE MARKET
Reopening of Banks Has Had
Effect of Completely Re
0 storing Confidence.
;MEA!IS AN ACTIVE SPRING
THE ' SUNDAY . OREGON! AN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY
16,
Confirmation of Swift's Intentions to
Build Ureal Plant on -Peninsula
" Injures r'aith in Portland's '
. Putnro Greatness.
'i No announcement made in years has
liad as strengthening effect on the real
estate market as that, of' the reopening
: of the Merchants National tomorrow and
the merger of the Oregon Trust with tha
... German-American Bank. The action of
'' William M. Ladd in taking care of the
depositors in tlio Title Gxiarantee. coupled
with tha resumption of the Merchants
and the starting up of the German-American
on the new basis, removes the last
"tie-up" of funds, resulting ' from the
'squeeze" in November.
Real estate operators .have on their
" books a, number 'of deals that could not
v be closed because buyers had their funds
In one or the other of the suspended
banks. Now that these can be negotiated,
dealers say there is no apparent reason
why those deals should not be taken up
and carried through... .
Hut the moral effect on trade in gen
eral in the resumption of the banks is
regarded by the real estate men as of the
most pronounced sort; for while a- fairly
full degree of confidence already had been
noticeable in the market, this starting
- lip of the banks "simply clinches things,"
as one dealer puts it.
Swift Plan Assured. ,
Another development of the week that
had a marked effect on the real estate
market was the settlement of the ques
tion of Swift's intentions on the puniu
sula. Considerable work "has been done
on the site selected by the big paeking-
house owners, but no definite information
" could be obtained about What their ulti
,'niate plans; embraced. The 'heads of the
f concern were here early in the week and
positively announced that one of the most
extensive stockyards and packing-houses
.-. In the country is to occupy the 3000 acres
: near the mouth of the Willamelte.. and
that work in its construction is to be
pushed forward. That decision, naturally.
; was not arrived at hastily, and when the
fact became known that representations
- sent back to Chicago concerning the site
'were borne out by personal investigation,
' it gave the City of Portland another boost,
the extent of which scarcely can be over
estimated. ' The investment 'of between J3.000.000 and
J4.ou0.000 oil the plant is but a start In
the benefit to come to the city, for with
:. hundreds, perhaps thousands, of employes
eiven work by the projected concern, it
" follows that towns will speedily spring up
in the vicinity, where the workmen will
have homes near tile scene of their em
ployment. Movements in that direction
have been under way ever since the pack-
. ing plant wjis first broached, and already
settlements are in evidence along the
Vancouver and St-. John lines well down
the Peninsula. Other sites have been
secured for additional plats and in a very
lew months activity is to be expected in
building lots in that section.
' In the meantime there is no lack of
business in the older platted sites. Buy
ing of one or -two lots fpr immediate
building, and blocks of five lots und up
ward as investment, continues to be re
" ported dally by the agents of different
tracts. In the additions, from Ports
mouth and Piedmont - to Sellwood and
Woodstock on the East Side, transfers
. are recorded showing a good . healthy
movement. On the West Side are sev
eral localities waiting completion of .
grades and opening of streets before con
siderable portions of .hitherto unavail
able building sites' will be on the market.
Few of these will be' attractive to the
builders of .small houses, however,' for
land ts too valuable to come within the
reach of men of moderate means in most
of these localities. Residence districts on
the West Side are gradually boing forced
back to the . hills by the demands of
trade and manufacturing, . and to the
southward also business requirements are
j making inroads on former residence sec-
. tions.
Holders of liealty T'irm.
As to the condition of 'the market,
dealers are still of the opinion that buy
ers of inside business realty must come
up a peg or two in their ideas of values
if they are to secure anything "worth
while. Holders are firm in maintaining
present value's and dealers to a man re
port inability to pick up either building
sites or improved downtown pieces ex
cept at valuations based on the prices
.established in the past six months. Three
of the pleading brokers in inside property
report orders for lots and quarter blocks
at a shade under ruling figures, and
about half a dozen deals are pending in
volving J125.0UO and over, with but a
'thousand or two between buyers' aud
, sellers' figures. This week two of these
'will be closed, in all probability, for.buy
fers are now. convinced that holders' fig
ures must be met if properties are to be
secured, and the pendency is upward just
now rather than downward, according to
the best informed realty men.
February building permits up to yes
terday amounted to 193 in number, with
estimated valuation of improvements of
$305,395. For the- past week permits for
building oiKTations of J1000 and over foot
.up $141,600, only two reaching five figures.
One of these was issued to W. L. Mor
gan for an apartment-house, at Kearney
and Twenty'second streets, to cost J37.500.
In the list is one yf $00. as the estimate
, on tho beginning of work cm the Judge
, .Kenton building, at Seventh and Ankeny.
. Transfers for the week averaged $55,000
a day on tin; amounts recorded. In bolh
transfers and permits the Kast Side fur
nished over two-thirds of the items.
AYork on Country Club.
Work Is progressing nicely on the
grounds of tho Country Club and Live
stock Association. Grading of the track
and fills is nea.ring completion, and seed
, is to be sown in a few days on the in
' field, where by the middle of Summer a
fine turf is expected to develop. Plans
for the buildings are about ready and
contracts for the erection of the exhibi
tion halls and grandstand will be let in
a few days, the clubhouse to be built
later on. Extensions qJ the streetcar
lines to the association track will be
' made In the near future. Rose City Park
people are figuring on a line from that
suburt), to connect with the East Ankeny
-'line, and an extension of the double
track Montavllla line Is also said to be
work that will be undertaken soon. Quite
a number of dwellings are being built in
the vicinity of the grounds of the asso
ciation. Acreage coQtimirs ' to be In good de

acres immediately south of Mount Tabor,
was sold during the week by S. E. Pren
tiss to E. L. Smith at $1000 an acre. When
this land waa taken up about 50 years
ago it was heavily wooded, but is now
in a good state of cultivation and will be
included in the city, which is rapidly
growing in that direction.
As an indication of the urgent demand
for dwelling-houses, H. P. Palmer re
ports that four months ago he purchased
two lots in the rear of his residence on
East Couch street and erected two six
room dwellings thereon. One on East
Davis and Twentieth, on lot 34x100, was
bought by William Brimmer for $3500 be
fore it was plastered, and the other ad
joining was bought by Eva Christy at
the same figure. Mr. Palmer, who has
recently' opened a real estate office in
the Rotlichild building, says he has a
number of inquiries for dwelling-houses
and that the outlook for a brisk business
was never better than at present, and In
this opinion other dealers Join.

CLUB liRKCTtj SKff QUARTKKS
Keuilvvorth to Have Hall for Public
Meetings.
The new Kcnilworth Improvement Club,
which was organized at the home of J.
C. Westergard, hist week, has already
taken up the matter of erecting a public
building in that portion of the city. A
lot has been secured on KenilwortU ave
nue. It is proposed to issue stock to the
amount of JiSoO at $1 per share. Of this
amount one-half has been subscribed, so
the company can be formed for business
at once. The new club announces that
it will erect a two-story building, the
lower floor to be cut up into store rooms
for rent, and the top floor to be occu
pied by a hall by the club and for other
public purposes. The rear part of tne
building will. be. reserved for a hose
house, a hose-cart and hose having been
secured. Tho club is a strong organi
zation and comprises the leading citizens
of that suburb. A membewllip of 75 is

likely be presented and... tho 'building
project take definite form.

CONTINUE TO BUILD HOMES
New Streets Projected, Which When
Completed,' Will Attract Lurger
Population in Districts Tj
versed Sales Keep tp
The sale of two blocks in the Waver
leigh tract on East Twenty-sixth and
Powell, streets, to an Eastern company,
through Walter Thomas Mills, agent, for
$12,000,- and the proposal to erect a big
tenenrent-house, was the most important
realty transaction in Kast Portland for
the week. John P. Sharkey, owner of
the tract, eold the two blocks. While
all the plans of the purchasers have not
matured, it is announced that the two
blocks will be covered writh a reinforced
concrete tenement apartnient-houso with
ample courts for playground, somewhat
on the "Old Mission villa" plan. A local
architect has been engaged to draw up
the plans. The idea is to erect an apartment-house
which will be well' ventilated
and havo plenty of room for a play
ground for children. It will be the first
structure in Portland along this line,
although in the East this plan of toneJ
ment-houses is becoming common. Mr.
Mills estimates tho cost of the building
at $100,000, and he announced that work on
the foundation will be started early this
Spring. He said that in the entire struc
ture, there will- be 100 separate apart
ments, provided with living-rooms, bed
rooms, baths and everything connected
with a modern home. The structure will
be fireproof.
Many Residences Transferred.
, One of the largest sales of the week
on the Peninsula was that of a block con
taining 32 lots, which was purchased by C.

will be platted in a few days. This
movement marks the breaking up of. the
great Love property, that intervened be
tween Piedmont and Columbia boulevard,
and means that tho home builder will
soon reach the boulevard.
Record of Permits Keeps Up.
In the building line on the East Side the
permits issued during the weelc show that
new work is starting up every day. P.
A. Carlander will erect two dwellings in
Holladay addition, one costing $7000 and
the other J7oO. Rev. J. F. Ghormley will
erect a $3500 home on East Salmon, near

two-story frame dwelling on East Yamhill
and East Thirteentli street, to cost $5000.
A large number of dwellings costinjr from
Jl'WO to $20n0 have been started during the
week. Large sales have not been the nile,
but there lias been during the past week
constant sail's of lots and quarters for
homes. Real estate men say there has
been no jdeerease in the price of ail classes
of property. Some investors who were
looking for a drop in East Side property
have been disappointed, for their expecta
tion has not been realized. In what is
called outside property on the suburban
rail.wis there continues to be a healthful
movement in realty.
Stretch Out Toward St. John.
Aside from "the big packing- plant,
which is assured for the Peninsula,
there is a progressive movement all
the way to St. John. The organization
of the Peninsular Development League
the past ;week, composed of delegates
from the seven -improvement clubs
between North Albina and St, John,
is significant of the 'determination of
the people to do things there. Here
tofore improvement of streets has been
delayed and held up for the reason con
tractors declined to bid on the work.
One of the purposes of the league will
be to make it possible to improve
streets on the Peninsula as well as in
other portions of Portland. Many of
the principal streets are to be opened
where they are closed up, and a contin
uous improvement of important high
way connecting; with Killingsworth
avenue on to St. John will be under
taken' this year So far there is no
hitch in the proposed in Improvement of
Portsmouth avenue between Willam
ette boulevard and the harbor, line.
The preliminary proceedings have been
started and will be pushed forward
with as much energy as possible.
At Woodstock, which occupies a high
plateau In the southeastern district,
there is a steady growth, a number of
tine homes have been. built there, and
more are being built. Owing to the
high grround of the main portion of
Woodstock, it has always been consid
ered a choice place for the home-builder,
and the price of property is reason
able. Between Woodstock and Ivanhoe,
eastward for five miles, is a territory
making a. most wonderful growth. It
Is estimated that in this territory there
are fully 15,000 people. Settlement
has extended eastward nearly to Syca
more Station, on the Gresham branch
of the O. W. P. line, on both sides of
the electric railway. Beyond Lents the
largre tracts of land that were covered
with stumps and logs a few years ago,
have been cleared off and new houve
have sprung up. As a rule, people in
this district own from one to 10 acres.
At Lents" practically all available land
lias been sold to home-builders, and the
transactions now are change of owner
ship of homes. While some of the
property around Lents waa purchased
as an investment, tho main portion, SO
per cent, was purchased for home-buildins-
Building of cottages has never ceased.
At Nashville, on tho Mount Scott Ita.il
way, there is a bijr cluster of as at
tractive cottages as can be found
In any suburb ' of Portland.
All the houses here are painted at
tractively. At all the points between
Lents and. Mount Scott the innumer
able homes are well kept. Thos'e who
think that Portland is growing only
toward the Columbia River should take
a Mount Scott car on the rush hours
pf the evening. He will then think
that nearly 20 per cent of the popula
tion lives in the southeastern district.
At present there is a warm annexation
campaign lrt progress in the southeast
ern district.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA GROWS
Cresham and Troutdalo Feel Effect
of Progressive Spirit.
Timothy Brownhill, of Gresham, says:
"In this part of the county I find a con
stantly improving condition, and I am
looking for a good year. Many of the
large farms have changed hands and are
being divided up into smaller tracts for
cultivation. At Troutdale, where much of
the " town was burned down several
months ago, 'many new buildings have
been started. The depot will be rebuilt
and work has been started on a brick
building for Welnhard. of Portland."
Mr. Brownhill keeps in close touch with
every portion of the county east of Mount
Tabor. Gresham has become an. estab
lished business and residence center for
tho famous Powell Valley. It is one of
the most attractive and prosperous towns
in tho state. Troutdale. next in impor
tance, is' reviving from the recent tire
that swept away many of its important
buildings.
Steps have been taken to Incorporate
Fairview, 12 miles from Portland, on the
O. R. & N. main line'. A petition asking
for a vote on the question has been pre
sented to the County Court.
Looks Good at Milwaukie.
Mayor Shindler, of Milwaukie. says that
everything looks good at that place in
real estate matters for the coming year.
Considerable property is changing hands.
Several new buildings are to.be started
at once.
