VALUE-SHOWS INCREASE QCARTER AT TENTH AXI) CO LUMBIA INDICATES BIG GALV. Property That Changed Hands for $7250 Five Years Ago Xow Sold for $40,000. A striking Instance of the rapid growth of the value of Portland real estate waa offered by the sale last week by M. E. Lea to the Chinook Investment Com pany, of the quarter block at the north west corner of Tenth and Columbia streets, for $4O0U0. This property was sold In December, 1905, by the Failing estate and others to Gus Rosenblatt for $7250. Mr. Rosen blatt moved some old buildings on the ground and sold out in April, 1909, to the First German Evangelical Society for $3,000. About six weeka ago Mr. Lee bought the property for $37,500 and cleaned up 200 on his deal by his latest sale.

Operations on the new Multnomah -tTntoi hnnnrint hv Third. Fourth. Pine and Ash streets, have advanced rapidly the last week, and the Immensity or the building can now be appreciated from a view of the construction that has been accomplished. At the nresent rate almost a story oi concrete will be added every week, and It la fully expected that the actual con crete construction will be flnlehed by June. The hotel probably will be fully completed before the end of the year. The hotel Is to be a highly ornamental structure, eight stories high, the style of architecture following Renaissance lines, somewhat modernized. The ex terior facing will be of tile of a pole cream shade, and the trimmings will be of terra cotta tile. Much attention has been paid by Architects Gibson & Cahill to designing the main entrance, which will be lofty and wide, with an impos ing column 21 feet high on either side. Cost to Be Near Million. The hotel with the site will represent an Investment of about $1,000,000 by the R. R. Thompson estate, the owner. The building will embody every modern Idea of hotel construction and some features that are In advance of any Im provements yet used In hotels. Multnomah was chosen as the name because It is considered distinctive. Views of Multnomah Falls are to bo worked In the decorations throughout and will bo shown In art glass and mosaic panels. The basement required excavation of 36.000 cubic yards of ma terial. Extending the full length of the block on the Fourth street side and for a width of 110 feet there is a double basement. The sub-basement is to be used for the heating and electrical plant and for the mechanical utilities of the hotel. On the floor above the sub basement will be the men's grill, bowl ing alleys, billiard room, public lava tories, etc. . , On the Third street miaa ui m ing the basements will be occupied by the stores on the ground floor. On all sides the ground floor will be given up to stores, except at the northwest cor ner of the building, where the large grill will be situated, and In the center of the block on Pine street, where the main entrance will be.

There will be a mezza nine floor in the first story, which will be devoted to ladles' parlors, writing rooms and administration rooms. There will be a large convention hall on the ground floor, with ante-rooms and banquet hall connecting.

There will be a number of guests' rooms on this floor, fronting on the streets. From the third to the seventh floor, inclusive, there will be guests' rooms, 86 to the floor, arranged singly and in suites. The eighth floor will be oc cupied chiefly by sample rooms for commercial travelers, of which there will be 35. Special attention has been paid to arrangements for lighting these sample rooms. All the rooms throughout the hotel will have daylight, there being no In side rooms. There will be 525 guests' rooms in all, of which 300 will be with bath. The servants' quarters will be in the attic. ' , v JEW PLAT M READY GLEXHAVEX PROPERTY OF 70 ACRES OX MARKET. Xorth Jonesmore Xante Chosen by Tndbenstock & Larson for Subdivision. Platting the new addition of North Jonesmore has been completed by TJnd benstock & Larson, who have announced that they will place- it on the market this week The property embraces 70 acres and was known as Glenhaven. The transfer was completed two weeks ago, and involved about $100,000. The property Hes between East Seventy-second and East Eighty-second streets and is bounded by Halsey street on the south and the Country Club grounds on the north.- It lies on both sides of the O.-W. R. & N. railway and will receive local car service from the line of the Mount Hood road which Is soon to be built. The property Is situated in a splendid locality and adjoins Jonesmore on the north. That addition has been complete ly sold out by Unbdenstock & Larson, who achieved the record of disposing of 230 lots In less than 90 days. North Jonesmore includes 420 lots In addition to some property along the right-of-way of the Mount Hood Electric line, which has been set aside for light manufacturing plants. It Is the inten tion of the owners to build a number of hsmes for purchasers. The lots are 60x100 feet and the improvements are to be made by the company.. Operations on street grading will be commenced without delay. Because of the cheap power offered by the Mount Hood Company a number of manufacturing enterprises have been attracted to that ' locality and definite engagements of sites have been made by several. These companies reserved 40 lots In North Jonesmore for employes. The addition is shown in. miniature by window display of Unbdenstock & Lar son on Oak street. There Is topographi cal representation of the entire addi tion showing streets and railway lines with occasional houses. The display at tracted a great deal of attention yester day, when there was constantly a crowd around the window. "There remain but few open tracts within the city limits," said J. Frederick Larson yesterday. "Another year will see virtually every acre In the city dis posed of to home builders. We expect that North Jonesmore will be entirely sold out before Summer. "Nothing can prove the rapid advance of the East Side more positively than the figures of the last United States census that showed Oregon to have gained 62 per cent In 10 years. Mult nomah County gained 100 per cent, and Portland 129 per cent. But the East 81de within the three-mile limit showed a gain of 600 per cent In population. The record was not approached by another city on the Pacific Coast, and I greatly doubt that It was equalled anywhere In the United States. .'This movement Is continuing at even a greater rate than has prevailed hereto fore. It will be a very few years until tbe East Side within the three-mile limit Is built up solidly C. C. Colt Buys lrvlngton Home. C. C. Colt last week purchased from I J. E. Meehan parts of four lots in lrvlngton for in.uuu. ine property is situated on the east sipe oi iast xnir-ty-second street between Hassalo and Multnomah. There are two houses on the ground and a third is being built. Mr. Colt and his family have moved into one of the houses and the others will be held for rental purposes. REALTY ASSOCIATES .BUY Price Xear $3000 an Acre, and Ground Is Well Suited for Plat ting Purposes Car Factories Will " Be Built Close By. The Realty Associates of Oregon have bought for cash, through the Wynn Johnson Company 26 acres adjoining the Soufhern Pacific car shops, on the East Side, the property of Louis Ger linger. This Is the largest of the many deals consummated In this direction since the announcement that the Southern Pacific is going to begin this Spring the erection of car-manufacturing plants to cost not less than $800,000, and that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company is preparing plans at this time for a manufacturing plant alongside, not to cost less' than $300, 000. Tract Is Nearest Acreage Remaining. The property acquired by the Realty Associates marks a diversion from their former Investments, which have been in business property, but It is consid ered a timely purchase, being the near est large parcel of acreage remaining within the city limits. The Realty As sociates are known as conservative in vestors. The consideration is not given in the transfer, but it is understood to be a little less than $3000 an acre. The property extends south from Hq) gate street, 2030 feet, along East Sev enteenth street, and laps out on to Milwaukle street and follows that thoroughfare over 1100 feet, its south ern limits being about 1800 feet north of Westmoreland. A considerable por tion of the property affords a view of the river and city. There are only a few old residences scattered over the tract, the tenants of which have been given notice to vacate, preparatory to cleaning up the property. ' This piece of ground does not ex tend east to the tracks of the Southern Pacific these being, at the nearest point, 600 feet away. Land Well Suited for Platting. The new owners have not signified what they will do with the property, according to the statement of Wynn Johnson, who negotiated the sale. "It Is an Ideal tract for immediate plat ting," said Mr. Johnson, "and the suc cess of Westmoreland and Eastmore land and Erroll Heights, on beyond, makes it evident that there is a sub stantial basis for the belief in the ad vancement of realty values in East Portland, South. New car manufactur ing plants costing over a million dol lars, a new university, warranted in planning for extensive work, a new bridge spanning the Willamette south of Hawthorne, and the nearness of the .district to the heart of the city, are some of the causes which are directing the attention of capitalists to this por tion of Portland." East All Talking of Portland. That the colonist rush from East ern states to Oregon this year will bo of much greater proportions than any colonist movement since the homeseek ers begun to come to the Pacific Coast years ago, is the opinion of Harry C Hunter, of Saltmarsh, Fike & Hunter, who has Just returned from a long trip, which took in Chicago, St. Louis, Kan sas City and Denver. "The work of the Portland Commercial Club Is Hav ing telling effect," said he. "Whenever I entered a club and announced that I was from Portland, I was Immediately questioned about this city and the op portunities here. I met personally a great many men who Intend to move to Portland this year. We scarcely ap preciate how extensive this movement will be. It is certain to mean much In the way of increased realty values." H. R. Saltmarsh, of the same firm, left last week for Los Angeles to attend tbe land show.
