Manx Transfers Made In Portland
last Wek Bnriness Properties
Are lt Dtniind No Decrease -In
ActtT Trading.
TT. last weoJc haa been prolines fn ral
estate deals In and a bo lit Portland. The
most Important (Jfal which was nego
tiated In downtown property was the
transfer on Thursday of the quarter-
Hock at the southwest corrirr of Sixth
and Johnson streets from PI J. Daly and
Beno & Balllo to a client of C. K. Honry
at J1ZV.000. This deal In Itself, while cot
especially largo. Is lmjortant on account
of Its forming; the completion of a series
of buys around the terminal company
rroporty whereby four entire blocks have
been secured Just south of the depot at
& price aggregating close to the million
dollar mark
Real estate operators have tveen set
agog- by the. active buying In this neigh
borhood and many theories have been ad
vanced to account for the buying, the
most generally accented being that It la
either the terminal company buying out
right to Increase Its holdings, or that
the Hill Interests have bought In to se
cure a wedge Into the Northern Pacific
TarmlmU Company's property and term
inals. It bas also been suggested that
this la really a move on the part of the
Harrlman Interests In shutting the Hill
Interests out of the chance of securing
possible terminals here.
The feature of these deals bas been that
every purchase was made for spot cash,
and this meana that about a million
dollars of outside money la now turned
loose on the local market. Practically all
of the sellers are now looking for placea
to reinvest their money, and the effect
of such an influence means a wealth of
active trading In the Immediate future In
. downtown properties.
A number of deals In properties rang
ing around the ffO.000 mark have been
made, far more than In any one week
for months past. The buyers are as a
Tule securing sites which will prove avail
able for good buildings and the archi
tects' offices are swamped with people
asklnj? for preliminary sketches of sub
stantial office buildings, hotels, apart
ment bouses and the finest types of resi
dences. Frank Dooley bas purchased from Mrs.
,F. C. Savage the property 7SxlOO feet In
also located at the southwest corner of
Thirteenth and Irving streets, for 3,000.
The dai waa made through the agency
of J. J. Flynn. This property Is Improved
with, some old frame buildings which
bring In a rental of (SO a month. It Is
practically the only property In the .en
tire neighborhood which has not been lm-
proved with modern and permanent struc
tures. Mrs. Savage had owned the corner for
thre years, having purchased It for I1J,
frA from Robert F. Hall. Mr. Dooley la
planning no Improvements on the prop
erty, but will hold it aa an investment.
This sale la located In the heart of a
territory where there has been-considerable
activity recently.
The half-block located on Kearney
treat, between Slxteonth and Seventeenth
. etreets. has been sold by M. f. Spauld
lng for S40.0CO to a client of Wakefield,
Fries ac Co. The deal was negotiated
through the agency of that firm. The
half-block. iooxMiO feet In else, is Im
proved with a number of amall housea
which net an Income of about J 100 a
month. The property waa bought aa an
Investment, with little Idea of Improve
ment by the jmrchasrrs.
p. VT. Hodson has purchased aome
property on King atreet. between
Washington and Davla atreets. aa a site
for an apartment-house which he will
build In the near future. Mr. Hodson
