Several email but important real es

and stores erected In its place, mis cor
ner ts opposite the new Methodist Church

purchased five years ago for $5000. but is
now thought to be worth more than three
times that amount.
An important suburban sale of business
property was that of the Woodward Hall
property In Montavllla by William Wag
ner and Marion Harris, of North Yakima,
for J1IS.00O. This property Includes the
three-story building and a residence. The
alo of the option for the Burkhard build
ing on a basis of valuation of $170,000 laet
week tells the story of the advance of
property at the east end of Burnside
.bridge. W. H. Mall, real estate man,
'had this building for sale a few years ago
!for Joseph Burkhard for $66,000, and the
half block north for $11,000.
By the purchase of the quarter block
at the northeast corner of Grand avenue
and East Stark street. W. 1 Morgan and
Ills associates secure control of the four
corners of this Intersection. Mr. Morgan
says that plans for the building to be
. erected on this corner have not yet been
decided on. but that it way be a con
' crete reinforced building somewhat sim
' liar to the new structure completed on
the northwest corner of this Intersection.
The object Mr. Morgan and associates
have Is to build up a new business center
In Central East Portland.
In the district between Division street
and the Powell Valley road and out to
East Fortv-eecond street there is steady
progress In the building tine. This dis
trict embraces Waverly-Rlchmond and
Waverleigh Heights. The recent sale of
10 blocks In the Waverly-Richmond dis
trict to John P. Sharkey & Co. means
more Improvements. This company has
made extensive Improvements in Waver
leigh. Streets have been graded, cement side
walks put down and big nils made at an
expense estimated at more than $160,000.
It Is now planned to lay water mains on
all the streets of this tract at a cost of
140 0X1. This will be followed up with pave
ments of the streets, as this could not be
done until the water mains and sewers
are down. More than 60 new homes have
been built in this addition during the
year, and the .houses are all substantial.
In the Waverly-Klchmond tract it.is pro
Dosed to lay hard-surface pavement after
the sewers have been put down.
Proceedings for extending Belmont
street to Tabor Heights from Its present
end at East Sixty-secend have been
started in the City Council. At present
Belmont etreet has been opened and
paved to East Slxty-seoond street, leaving
out the whole of the top of Mount Tabor,
where there are extensive building opera
tions under way. The Importance of this
extension is considered great for Mount
Tabor, as it will provide a well improved
etreet for Mount Tabor and for the dis
trict beyond, which Is at present shut off.
The extension follows the right of way
of the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company to the end of the line. It will
connect with the several Improved streets
at the top of Mount Tabor. E. C. Minor,
W. W. Terry and J. Keating have been
' appointed viewers to appraise the dam

Realty Dealer Points Out Way for
Doing Away With the Ugly
Spots Here by Erecting
" Fine Buildings.
Real estate dealers have taken ex
ceptional interest in the movement to se
cure a more beautiful as well as a more
practical Portland and many of them
have subscribed to the fund to secure
Architects Rurnham & Bennett of Chi
cago to make a plan for a model Port
land. Attention has been called by the
real estate men. however, to the fact
that every individual property owner and
real estate dealer in the city can con
tribute much to the Immediate beautify
ing of the city, and among the real estate
men there stands one, C. K. Henry, who
has done much in this line. Mr. Henry
has made it a point for the last few
years in effecting sales of properties
which have been but poorly Improved and
which are anything but a benefit to the
city from an artistic standpoint, to per
sons who will Improve the properties
wtth handsome and substantial build
ings. He effeoted the sale of the property
at the northeast corner of Seventh and
Stark streets, which had been covered
with old Chinese laundries and shacks,
to T. B. Wilcox and this property is now
the site of the beautiful Imperial Hotel
Annex, which Is Just being finished. Then
he bought the old corner at Fourth and
Oak streets and on this he put up the
handsome Henry building. During the
last year he has removed a number, of
old shacks from properties in the 'city
and has Induced several new Industries
to locate here.
Notable among these Is the General
Electric Company, which bought a site
