-REALTY - MARKET-
Dealers Say Business Is on a
Paying Basis and Sales In
dicate Live Conditions.
AVERAGE $100,000 DAY
Portland Makes Record Welt Up to
Top of Similar Sized Oltles
of Country and Lead
.' . Coast Towns.
BY JO H3I J. HARWSOy. J
There ha been probably no time 'in
the real estate business experience of
Portland when dealers had more confl
uence In the outlook than at preaen. It
Is true that no deals within the past
week or two have been of the spectacular
sort, but there Is not a dealer In the
city who does not report a fairly good
amount of business In what Is called
"little stuff," meaning sales of from $3000
to $5000.
Humors are floating about of inside
propositions which have more " or less
reason of credulity, but the fact remains
that holders of downtown properties are
keeping- back for prices that do not seem
reasonable to prospective buyers. There
is 6aid to be a larj?e amount of outside
money in the hands of brokers for in
vestment In Portland business property,
but the kind of property wanted is not
to be bought. This is considered a credit
to the business acumen of Portland realty
ownerB. If a piece of property is likely
to increase In value within a short time,
why should not the present owner get
the benefit? Of course, if owners look
at the matter In this way there is as a
consequence a stop put to dealings, and
dealers naturally . deplore such a situa
tion. There Is no law that requires an owner
to sell his property if he doesn't want to,
luit at the same time there is hardly a
man that owns a piece of realty that
should not be willing to accept a hand
nome proflt when a sale is put up to
Jilm. And thus it goes. Realty men call
holders "mossbaeks" and all that sort of
thing if they refuse offers, and ' owners
lay back and watch the increase in the
value of their holdings with great satis
faction. Give Expert Opinion.
There Is a limit of valuations, and realty
dealers are pretty sure to say they know
when .that point has been reached. Stu
dents of values take into consideration
locality, contiguous property, possibilities
Tor the future and experience in other,
titles, and are therefore In a position to
Rive an expert opinion. ' Real estate val
ues are based on Just such considerations.
It ie reasonable to conclude that a rep
utable real estate agent knows more
about values than a man who doesn't
know the difference between a corner
lot and a. cow pasture. That is the rea
son why .these real estate agents and
dealers have their standing in the com
munity. Betting down to the situation in Port
land again, the recordaof the last week
'how that business in the handling of
ground has kept up to that made In the
preceding week, at least. The dally rec
ord of transfers was on an average of
S100.000 a day, the high mark being March
32. when the footing reached $215,000. That
day the deed for the 95 acres formerly
owned by Judge Gilbert was filed to an
unknown company that intends to erect
n shipbuilding plant at that place. The
iflling of the deed verifies the sale, but
selves little Information as to the ulti
mate Intention of the newcomers. C. K
iHenry. who negotiated the deal, says that
he people who bought the tract are
abundantly able to carry out the plans
proposed, but further than that he was
not authorized to speak.
Building operations in Portland continue
to be a matter of surprise to the rest
of the country. This city showed a
record In the last month that was not
nfproached by but one or two cities. It
does not require any stretch of the Imag
ination to place the city in the fore
front of the cities of the country In the
way of Important new building, and the
(statistics compiled by such publications as
the American Contractor and Construction
News from all the principal cities of the
country every month places this city in
Its proper position among the leaders.
The building of Portland is equaled along
the Coast only by San Francisco, and
It Is needless to explain why that city
takes the lead., God blepe the old town!
We here in the North wish for the Bay
City all the prosperity possible.
los Angeles Is different. There is a
city that In certain ways Is similar to
Portland. It is for the south of San
Francisco what Portland is to the north.
Comparisons seem to be made with more
reason between Los Angeles and Port
land than between Portland and any
other Coast city. What Is the result"?
Recent tourists give us a fair show, at
least. In talking with visitors to South
ern California it is found that in their
opinion Portland shows more substantial
prowth In the last few years than any
city of the Coast. San Francisco alone
excepted.
It would be a presumption on the part
of Portland to assume that It leads In
building operations on the Coast, for
everybody - knows that the Bay City, by
reason of the fire that devastated that
Mty to the south of us, bas been rebuild
Sng at a rate that is not at all normal.
Portland need not take a back seat by
any manner :of means, for the records
ftiow that more building is going on in
this city than in other cities on the
Coast of similar size, and the character
of the Improvements is such as to place
(the city In the first rank among those
wnakrng the beet showing.
Comparison Is Courted.
Comparisons are' seid to be odious, but
granting that to be the case, ir is doubt-
Jul if Portland would object to comparison
with its nearest . competitors. At all
events the city is growing in importance
at a rate that means a metropolis,, and
those who own property in districts now
or soon to be in business sections real
Ize the possibilities of the future.
It Is a very difficult matter to differen
tiate between any given sections of the
city Just now. Eaclj district. has certain
advantages In the way of prospects, with
almost equal chances of - development.
Any one who would presume to say that
the south, north, west or east side of
the city presented the best opportunity
for Investment must be an optimist, ir
revocably committed to that particular
section, regardless of merit. It has be
come an axiom that Portland realty, re
gardless of location, is a good buy. And
It is carried out In the fact that sales of
Portland realty made in .the last few
years have brought to the sellers a fine
profit.
Old Time Has Passed Away.
There is one thing that old Portland
owners of realty seem not to realize, and
that is that the old day has passed. Port
land today is a city, not a village. What
anight have been advanced Improvements
20 or 30 years ago don't go now. and good
streets, sidewalks,-parking, water service,
sewers, gas and electric lights, tele
phones and messenger service these days
are as essential as any of the supposed
requisites of the olden day.
These modern advantages are being
supplied as rapidly as possible. The
streets of ; the city are now torn up to
provide an underground service of elec
tric lighting and telephone service, and
while a "kick" is registered hourly by
pedestrians, the fact remains that in time
the ungainly and menacing poles along
me narrow streets of Portland will disap
pear and the "hello girl" will answer or
the automatic act under ground quite as
promptly as when your message went
overhead. -
The time is approaching when Portland
again will be called upon to put on its
best bib and tucker to make of the Rose
Festival a greater success than before.
This annual show means more to the' real
estate business than appears on the sur
face. The City of Portland advertises it
self in Eastern publications as the Rose
City, and invites the whole world to come
out here and see the city at its best. The
Impression received by visitors is likely
to be permanent. There is no doubt as
to what that Impression- will be during
the Festival season, or. In fact, at any
other time, but there might be an organ
ized effort made by realty men to receive
visitors and show them the town and
what we have to offer In the way of scen
ery and advantages. Certainly there la
no lack of opportunity.
FIRM HAS MUCH INVESTED
Holdings of Jacobs-Stine Company
Amount to $1,250,000.
It does not matter much which firm
In suburban development started first
in that line, but it Is more or
les interesting to know which firm
first had confidence in the future of
the city to "spread out," and the Ja-cobs-Stine
Company claims that dis
tinction. Starting with a small tract,
the. firm now announces that it has in
vested about $1,250,000 in suburban
realty in Portland and has about J2R0 -000
involved in improvements. Mr
Jacobs says that his firm has eight
tracts In Oregon and Washington now
on the market. Including Belle Crest,
the two Hyde Parks, Wellesley, the
Riverside orchards and Goodnough
farms In Washington.
Belle Crest is reached by the carllne
out Sandy road and Is located north
east of the Country Club grounds. The
two Hyde Park tracts adjoin, while the
more recent Wellesley tract is a con
tinuation of the Hyde Park plats. The
firm has planned a pergola, or resting
place, which is to cost $2000 and will
be located between Hyde Park and
Wellesley. A handsome bungalow is
also to be erected on these tracts to
be used as the company's offices. It
is expected that in a short time the
streetcar company will extend its line
to these tracts.
Mr. Jacobs says that to show the
growth of the company's business It ia
only, necessary to point out that the
office force two years ago. when busi
ness was started, consisted of three
clerks; now there are in the office 20
clerks and 50 are employed as sales
men. Pat Lavey, formerly a resident
of Oklahoma, and recently manager of
the "Vancouver Commercial Club, has
been appointed sales manager of the
company, taking charge of that depart
ment last week.
Riverside orchards contain 464 acres
of land near McMinnville which is be
ing sold in small tracts. The company
has most of the acreage planted in
hngilsh walnuts, so that purchasers of
the orchards have their trees well
along when they take possession. A
tract of 4000 acres at Goodnough In the
state of Washington is being surveyed
and soon will be on the market as fruit
farms.
Commenting on its refusal to sell
Wellesley at an advance of 100 per cent,
Harry Beckwlth, of the Jacobs-Stine
Company, said yesterday: "This prop
erty was purchased by our company for
the purpose of further developing the dis
trict which was really opened by us two
years ago, when we placed Belle Crest
on the market. Knowing fully as well
as the people from whom we received
the flattering offer what a splendid In
vestment property this 160 acres is, we
preferred to plat it and market it on the
basis of the price we paid, giving our
purchasers the benefit of this splendid
Increase rather than taking it ourselves.
In other words, we have not, on account
or tne increased valuation of this tract.
advanced the price of lots above . our
original Intention.
"It really seems amazing, when we stop
to look back over the past few months,
what startling changes have been made
In the district that we first opened to the
public. Every addition we have placed
before the people since then bas been
sold more rapidly than we ever dreamed
It would. This has been true of Belle
Crest, North Belle Crest, Hyde Park and
Hyde Park No. 2. It is certainly to be
equally as true of Wellesley-on-the-Hill."
NEARLY ALL LOTS SOLD
Columbia Trust Company Is Closing
Cp Keiiniore Tract.
After making a remarkable record
in handling the townsite of Swln
ton, located on the lower Peninsu
la, the Columbia Trust Company is now
closing up sale of the remaining lots at
Kenmore, at Patton avenue and Pippin
street. It is said at the office that only
about half a dozen lots remain unsold.
The point is made that In this subdi
vision there are no building restric
tions, and the lots are sold on the easy
payment plan. The Swinton tract con
tains 95 acres, divided Into about 1000
lots, and these have been sold almost
entirely In the last few months.
Wiberg Heights Is another tract han
dled by this company. This plat Is in
the Rose City Park district, containing

PORTLAND, Or., March 13. (To the
Editor.) The fire which recently de
stroyed the car barn of the Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company
prompted me to study the possibility of
providing a proper approach and other
accessories of fitting dignity to the
City Park, in lieu of the back alley en
trance that now obtains. The accom
panying photograph (marked exhibit
"A"), shows the arrangement at pres
ent. The drawing (marked exhibit
"B"), Is merely intended to suggest
what seems to me a desirable, attrac
17 acres cut up Into-108 lots. All have
been sold. The company has disposed
of three-fourths of the 75 lots at Green
way, on Portland Heights. These lots
are on the Council Crest carllne, and
have for the most part a western out
look. The company is now exploiting a
new resort known as Columbia Beach,
located Just south of the mouth of the
Columbia River, and reached by the
Astoria & Columbia River Railroad. As
part of the system outlined, a pleasure
park, known aa Idlewild, Is laid out,
bordering a small lake between the
beach and the railroad. It is declared
for the beaoh that, apart from Its pic
turesque surroundings, it is to be made
a resort free from all objectionable
features.
Tne company announces that It does
not encourage the purchase of lots at
this site on speculation, while at the
same time it is believed that values
will rapidly advance. They prefer to
sell to intending builders of Summer
homes, and propose to do everything
possible to make of Columbia Beach a
resort for the better classes. No gam
bling Is to be permitted, and the sale
of liquors on the premises is prohib
ited. Columbia .Beach contains something
over 200 acres, with an ocean frontage

and simple withal, that I firmly be
lieve the maximum of effect can be
produced at a minimum of expense. The
cost should be nominal, and the scheme
can be carried out In its entirety within
a reasonable time. The loggia in the
foreground should occupy the site of
the railway's transfer station and
would serve as an isle of safety, which
is essential at this point, owing to the
congestion of traffic The Promenade,
or Mall, which parallels Washington
street, is to take care of pedestrians
of about half a mile. It Is platted Into
about 1000 building' lots, which, the
agents say, are Belling at a satisfac
tory rate.
WORK ON RESORT RUSHED
Promoters of Bayocean Park Busy
With. Improvements.
The work at Bayocean Park, on the
Tillamook coast is going forward
steadily, and It win probably not be
long until this Vesort will become one of
the most poular ones In Oregon. Its site
is a beautiful one, and the owners give
assurance that everything possible will
be done to enhance Its natural attrao
tivenens. Over 11.000.000 will be Spent In Improve
ments, according to the promoters- of Bay
ocean Park. Already a large pier Is being
built into the surf, brush and under
growth are being cleared from the land,
grades are being established and the site
prepared, for a tine Summer hotel. Basins
are also being laid out for artificial lakes,
and the entire scheme as outlined ia
elaborate.
Among the advantages urged for Bay
ocean Park Is that It will be only a few
hours' ride from Portland wlien the new

only. The west end of the Mall ter
minates with an entrance gate, which
can be monumental in its treatment,
and of fitting dignity and Importance;
the whole serving as a beautiful vesti
bule to the park. The loggia, or Isle
of safety at the east end, should be
classical In Its treatment. In harmony
with the entrance at the west end.
This Improvement, the need of which
is manifest to all, should be a matter
of pride to every patriotic citizen.

Haniman railroad to Tillamook Is com
pleted. Sales of lots have been large,
and it Is promised that a hlghclass of
cottages will be erected. The pnrk is on
a beautiful peninsula, with Tillamook
Bay on one side and the open ocean on
the other. This will give vlrttors an op
portunity for surf bathing or those who
prefer may bathe In the quiet waters of
the -bay. There are stretches of rugged
coastline near the resort, and also a
BVautiful sand beach that will afford a
splendid course for carriage and auto
mobiles. At present Bayocean Park is reached by
three wagon road and those- who care to
travel to the coast by team will find no
more enjoyable Journey anywhere. The
Wilson River route, through Forest Grove,
Is the most attractive of tliese roads,
winding through the finest mountain scen
ery and along the picturesque streams.
Its only disadvantage is steep grmies.
and these- are also found on the Trask
River route, through North Yamlitll. The
Grande Ronde road through McMinnville
has the best grades, but the scenerv is
not so good as that along either the Wil
son River or Trask.
It Is proposed to improve one of these
highways from Portland to the ocean in
order to secure a good road for automo
biles. When this Is done it will doubtless
contribute much to the assured popularity
of Bayocean Park.
