This land se situated toat a part of it is Ideal f the pleasure part of the investment. is the. intention of the men forming e syndicate to retain 100 acres or so the -wild state in which they found it d make of it a small game and fish eserve. The rest will be cut up into -.all tracts and placed on the market, rhls tentative preserve lies along the nks : of the Calapooia River and I etches back to the foothills. There is id to : be excellent fishing and shoot- ' within its confines, and buildings itable for the needs of a small club e already standing, so that very little mains needful to make the property an kial small club. A hunters' lodge will put up for convenience on shooting PS. I: The buyers believe in the future of the ality m which they have bought, and ure !that all the while they are using ,s preserve for their pleasure It will be creasing in value, so that by the time ey are ready to sell, it will net them as kich, j at least, as if they had cleared e tolremain as nature left them. On the business eide of the purchase e syndicate expresses itself aa well ased both with the condition and tne atloni of the land. The part that will cut up and put on the market in small chard tracts is situated immediately xt to land owned by the Luse Land & velopment Company, which has done jch - toward the exploitation of the therlm Valley and the town of Suther- Under the name of the Sutherlin Val- p- Fruit Company, this syndicate plans sell small tracts of the ZOO acres that e to be surveyed for the market. That rt of the state has been sufficiently vertteed as a fruit section and bearing chards are sufficiently numerous, they y, tq back up all their contentions aa the adapablllty of the soil to fruit all ' kinds. Fears, however, are the st-known product of that district, they lleve. The syndicate is made up of four ung men, three of whom have come om the Bast to settle in , Oregon. omas H. Beverly comes of a well- 10 wn Alabama family, and he is a aduate of the University of Alabama, idley F. Clark is the son of the im- gration agent of the Northern Pa ne Railway. Arthur P. Dobson is the n-in-law of Judge Adams, well- own; In Chicago as a member of the ok County bench. Frank C. Hackney mes . from Eastern Oregon, the only e of the four to be brought up in the lorthwest. This is not the only venture these four as a syndicate, for they live acquired a tract of land near lamath Falls, and are said to be anning the development of this after e Sutherlin Valley project is well der way. Each has studied the con- tlona in the various fruit sections of e Northwest and particularly in 'Ore- ln. ! Other activities are under way in this krt of Southern Oregon. A syndicate mposed of Spokane men has recently bught a track of 879 acres near Oak- nd called the "Frost tract," and is twins it surveyed so that it can be Id in 10-acre tracts. This property is signed tor those desirous of orchard round-: A feature of this tract is said be ' the fine spring water that is bandant, and Pollock Creek flows rough the property, the waters of hich ' are to be used In Irrigating a krt of the land. From the slope toward the foothills. hich is included in a portion of this nd. one of the finest views in all kmthern Oregon is said to be obtained. Oakland, the town near which all this k-operty is situated, is- said to be hav- tc the boom time of its life. Although tie of the oldest towns in the state. has slept through many years, and as awakened finally through the ex- 01 tat on of the wonderful fruit land hich:. lies all about it.

Within a month a new apartment-house on Twelfth street, near Main street, will be completed by W. B. Buell. This Is a four-Btory and basement building with 60 three-room apartments. It will cost $55,000. It is 60x98 feet, being located on a 'lot and a fraction. The exterior is of wine-colored brick. The appointment Is modern in every way. An automatic electric elevator and a ihodern steam-heating plant have been in stalled. W. K. Griffith Is the contractor for the building. Tract Being Cleared of Stumps and -Prepared lor Apple-Growing. Eaglecrest Orchards, the BOO-acre tract located near Salem in the heart of the Willamette Valley, and recently pur chased by a Portland syndicate consist ing of L. P. Beno, James O. Rountree and N. W. Rountree, has been having a good sale since it was put on the market a month ago. 1 A" number of 10-acre plots have been bought by Portland and out side buyers during the last few weeks, among these buyers being Felix Voszlen of Snohomish, Wash., L. F. Sweeny of Mexico and L. M. Clark, a recent arrival in Portland from Illinois. About 100 acres of this tract remains to- be cleared before being planted to apples in the FalL The owners of the tract are employing a large crew of men, supplemented by a 100-horsepower donkey engine, to grub the stumps and prepare the land for Fall plowing. This method of clearing land is new in the Eola Hills, where the Eaglecrest Orchards are lo cated, and has been a matter of Jio little interest to the farmers in the vicinity. PROMINENT PEOPLE BUY ST. FRANCES II ILL TO BE DIS . TRICT OF GOOD HOMES. Selling or Lots in Addition at Head of Washington Street Is Rapid and Street Work Is Rushed. Some prominent residents of Port land are going to have some mighty fine homes as soon as St. Frances Hill Is ready for them to build," remarked W. B. Streeter, who, with B. Gildner, Is selling the sites in this beautiful tract at the head of Washington street. "The Sweeney Construction Company is hurrying the grading along, too," .he continued, "and has Just about two thirds of the streets ready for the hard surface pavement. Sewers and all other utility pipes must be put in first, though, and the contractors' say they will begin to lay the sewerage system in about 30 days. "Some of the people who have bought building sites there are anxious to be gin their homes, and practically all who have bought will put up resi dences. I never saw an addition freer from speculative purchases than this. St. Frances Hill is surely a borne tract. "There has been some buying, too," went on Mr. Streeter, "and all of blocks 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have been sold. Sales now are from blocks 1 and 8, each of which Is more than half gone. One of the beauties of this tract is that you get a good view from every lot. When it is built up the houses will be ar ranged so that none will interfere with the outlook of another. The streets curve around to conform to the outline of the hill, and the general effect will be a series of terraces. The grades are gradual, though, so that there will be no steep ascents to reach any of the lots." Then Mr. Streeter dilated at some length on the beautiful view to be had from St- Frances Hill. "You can't beat it anywhere in this country," he said "One day a wealthy lumberman from Michigan was up there looking over the lots. Five mountain peaks were in sight all the time from every part of the hill. 'I never saw anything like it said he, and I could hardly get him away." Among those who have bought build ing sites recently in this tract, and who announce their intention of build ing homes' as soon as possible, are the following: J. J. Mack. W. B. Mersereau, S. Blumauer, Captain Ames, S. B. Ar mltage, B. F. Holman, William Morri son,' Dr. Esther C. Pohl. W. F. Macken zie, B. W. Ward, John W. Sweeney, Oliver K. Jeffery, Mrs. William Sher lock, Mrs. L. B. .Knapp, W. B. Mon roe, J. Monks, B. Gildurn. The Portland Concrete, Pile & Equip ment Co. is hard at work on the main boulevard which will wind around from Washington street through the St. Frances Hill up to Macleay Park. This will be bordered by cluster lights, the system which will be used exclusively in SL Frances Hill. Street-cars are prophesied on this boulevard before the end of the year. New Anchorage for Marblehead. When the cruiser Marblehead, carry ing the California State Naval Militia, reaches the harbor tomorrow, she will be assigned moorings off the foot of Stark street, as that slip is owned by the city. In the past many war ves sels have been anchored below the bridges, where thejn were not always aocessible to the public, and this year it Is planned to have them where they can be visited without tne necessity of long launch rides. - HOUSE WH,L SOON BE COMPLETED AND OCCUPIED. mi MUCH REPAIRING IS DONE Small Structures Predominate. Fourth of July Holiday Makes Difference in Total Many'' Stores for Outlying Districts. Hot weather had its effect on the of fice of the Building Inspector last week, and the number of permits issued, while larger than that of the previous week, did not foot up to the average total set In the big weeks of early Summer. Reflecting the general quiet of the real estate market, permits were at rest and no large buildings at all were begun. Much repairing is being done, and many shacks and small structures are being erected, all of which is In line with the general atmosphere of getting ready for big things in the late Summer and early Fall that will soon develop the business. An unusual number of small stores for the outlying districts are to be built this Summer, and the number of small frame dwellings that have been begun keeps well up to the average. One feature that must not be over looked in summing up the quiet week is the holiday that fell on Monday. For the five working days of the week that remain the number of permits issued and the amounts are as follows: Tuesday. 26 30,526 Wednesday, 25 27,950 Thursday, 30 39700 Friday, 11 18,650 Saturday, 18 41,070 Total, 110 .$157,896 In detail, the permits for each day are appended: Tuesday.
