I I EAST SIDE IN LEAD Large Majority of New Build ings Erected There. DWELLINGS ARE IN DEMAND Offering of Any Desirable House for Rent Brings Crowd of Applicants. Flats Prove Profitable Form of Investment. The East Side Is in the lead over . the West Side In the number of new buildings, both residence and business, for which permits were Issued In April, according- to a. segregation or statistics made br the Oregon Keal Estate Com. panr- The figures are: Residences. East Side. 35 J; West Side. 16. Business liouaes. East Side. 17: West Side. 8. A comparison Is also made for the first four months of 1911. which shows: Residences. East Side. 1147: West Sid.. 4. Business bouses. East Side, C8; West Side. 3S. The Increase In the number of both residences and business houses was 10 per cent for the first four months of the present year over the like period In 1910. Since the first of the year a large proportion of the permits for the East Sid. were for flats and apartment houses, scattered widely between the Willamette River and Mount Tabor and between Sellwood and the Columbia boulevard. However, most of the flats are being built In. the central portion of the East Side a. far as East Thirty second street. This class of property baa proved very profitable. Small houses in th. Inside district are hard to And, and rent for desirable houses Is high. One house of five rooms, on East Ninth and Woodward Avenue, was ad vertised for rent, and 69 applications were made for It. as It is near the Brooklyn earllne. Pcor.'e came In droves for the house, and called up over the telephone all day and half the night. Th. man who rented the house ar rived early In the morning and camped In th. house until his furniture had peen moved In. From th. present con tinued demand for houses It Is evident that building Is not being- overdone in Portland. BEACMOXT WORK PROGRESSES OTr 800 Men and Teams Em ployed In Improvement Scheme. Rapid progress Is being- made In th. development work at Beaumont. Th. already large force of working men baa b.en augmented until now there ar. over $00 men and 85 teams em ployed In grading th. streeta and lots, laying- sewers, water mains, etc. Work Is progressing so rapidly that the lay ing of th. streetcar tracks to the cen ter of the tract will commence rery shortly. Th. streeta and contoured drives ar. assuming definite shape and the prediction that Beaumont will be n of th. finest addition in th city H realized now. Inquiries and saJes for Beaumont lots have been ex ceptionally heavy during th. last week, even In fac of th. adverse weather conditional Th. payroll at Beaumont Is the lar get of any realty tract In the city; In fact th. only Improvements that ar. (Mini mad. In th. city ar. on the binnioit nrooertr. Th. seeding of i th lawns and th. planting- of th.. rose bushes which the purchasers of Beau mont lots get free will be carried on In connection with the other work. The tract Is being dally visited by many people who become very much in terested in the great activity which can be seen on alW sides. If the present rate of sales continues Beaumont will establish the greatest record of any subdivision In this city. Orchard Company Clears 135 Acres. WHITE SALMON. Wash.. May 6.

Charpltting has been employed here by the company on a large scale, the experiment being the first one of any considerable sue. complete success of the new "economy method of getting rid of stumps Is reported, . the cost of removal per stump being fixed at 60 cents, which is but a' fraction of the cost under thcwold blasting methods. Mr. Holbrook announces that in handling Redland it is his purpose to. charpit only an acre or two on each home tract, leaving the rest of the work to the homebuilders, to whom are af forded opportunities of learning the process at Redland. where a force of men Is at work dafty in charpltting big stumps. . ...

V TEOX BriLDIXG'S JAX1TOB AXD HIS ELEVATED BCXGALOW. ANEW and novel site for erecting a bungalow has been found. It I the flat root of Portland's highest skyscraper, th. Teon building, which Is 15 stories high and towers above all th. other buildings by two or three stories. A wonderful, unobstruct ed view of all Portlar with the river winding through the city and th. snow capped peaks of St. Helens and Mount Hood In th. distance. Is obtainable from th. roof. The bungalow la modern In .very de tail and It fitted with gas, electrlo lights, hot and cold water. It Is built of cement and Is low and rambling, containing four light and airy rooms. The built-in book case, disappearing beda and tiny Dutch kitchen are built on the order of those In apartment houses. The man who enjoy this glorious view every day and lives In this Inter esting and uniquely situated bungalow Is C. J. Pennicarde. an Englishman, and head Janitor of th. building. In so large a building, the head Janitor's work Is very complicated and It Is necessary for Mm to be In the building almost all the time, that was why they conceived the Idea of having his house on th. roof. Mr. Pennicarde will, for the most part, enjoy his bungalow and his view by himself. Ha is a widower with one child, a daughter, who Is a milliner In North Yakima. When asked If he would raise chick ens, he said that he would not. but pos sibly h. would have a small garden. Rental, Based on Sliding Scale, Will Amount to $100,000 In Term of Ten Tears. Robert H.
