PORTLAND REALTY
CONTINUES ACTIVE
July Trading in Business and
Residence Property Unu
sually Brisk.
ATTRACTS FOREIGN BUYERS
English and Canadian Capital Is In
ested in City Parcels Several
; Substantial Sales Made,
j Building Permits Gain.
The Portland realty situation eon
tlnues exceedingly active for the Sura
met season. Dealers report that busi
ness during; July has exceeded expecta
tions. Inquiries for Income property
have been Increasing the "past two
weeks, and there Is every indication
that trading: will be unusually brisk
lollowlng the Summer months. 1
While Portland investors, as a rule,
are holding off until the close of the
harvest and crop-moving periods, it is
to be noted that scarcely a week passes
that deals of Importance are not nego
tiated. It is the belief of brokers that
political agitation Is having little ef
fect on the general market, notwith
standing the apparent inactivity of
maay professional traders.
Activity was notable last week in
both the number and importance of
gales. A Fourth street income-bearing
parcel waa sold for $300,000, a half-interest
in a lot on Seventh street
brought ISO, 000, a Sixth street corner
brought $45,000 and an East Side prop
erty waa sold for $30,000. In addition
to these transfers, there are current
reports of several substantial deals
under way in downtown property that
will be closed in a few days.
An out-of-town Investor who figured
In .the week's trading was Colonel
Henry Piatt, of Wales. Colonel Piatt
purchased a half Interest in property
at the southwest corner of Seventh and
Ankeny streets from Percy Blyth for
$50,000. Mr. Blyth will join Colonel
Piatt in the erection of a modern
structure on the site. Plans for the
building, it is announced, will be com
pleted in a short time. The sale was
negotiated by Wilder Bros.
Another substantial deal was closed
early In the week, when Charles Fra
xler and Ralph Brackett puichased
from John Caswell a half-block on the
east side of East Third street, between
east Davis and East Everett streets, for
$30,000. The property is situated
the East Side shipping district, and
will be held as a speculation. Defi
nite announcement of the Fourth street
deal, it is expected, will be made in a
few. days.
An important deal In suburban prop
erty was the purchase of a 45-acre tract
on the Section Line road by J. E.
Tasker from O. C. Graves for $50,000.
Mr. Tasker came to Portland a short
time ago from Regtna, Canada, and
during his residence here he has in
, vested approximately $100,000 In Port
land city and suburban property. Mr.
Tasker's last purchase is considered an
attractive one. About one-half of the
tract has been cleared. This portion
will be sub-divided into half-acre
building sites and placed on the mar
ket soon. Mr. Tasker plans to erect
a fine residence on the higher part of
the tract. The sale was negotiated by
the Tabor Heights Realty Company.
In residence sales a good business
Is reported by dealers. Home-building
companies are continuing to erect
dwellings and appear to have no diffi
culty in finding purchasers. In most
of the new additions big strides are
being made in the erection of dwell
ings, while In the suburban districts
considerable Improvement is under
way.
Portland Is making a big showing in
the construction of new homes. In
1909 the number of homes erected was
approximately 2500. in 1910, 3100, in
1911, about 3100 and this year the num
ber will probably exceed 3500. The
major part of residence construction
Is on the East Side. However, with
the development of the West Side hills
Into fine home districts and with the
general public Improvement programme
under way In South Portland, there Is
every indication that the West Side will
forge to the front during the next 12
months in the construction of homes.
The total valuation of buildings is
sued thus far for the month already
exceeds the record for the correspond
ing month of list year. With three
more business days in the month, the
gain will probably reach $300,000. The
permits already this month show a
total of $1,586,431, compared with
$1,375,315 for the entire month of
last year.
During the week there were Issued
137 permits, with a total valuation of
$209,490.

REAL ESTATE IS ATTRACTIVE
31any Big Business Men Are Owners
of Real Property.
Most of Philadelphia's successful
business men are large realty owners.
In fact the bulk of the fortune left
by the late William Weightman was
invested in real estate, his holdings
totalling more than $60,000,000, says
an exchange. Much of his realty was
central, although he had large inter
ests in about every growing neighbor
hood In the city at the time of his
death.
As a matter of fact, practically all
of Philadelphia's successful business
men invest heavily in good real estate
when the opportunity offers. The rea
son for this is two-fold. In the first
place, as has been said before, good
real estate is an absolutely secure in
vestment, and secondly, it forms an
excellent means for raising money on
mortgage at a low rate, for use In a
mercantile business, where a profit
many times the rate of interest paid
on the mortgage is possible. The rate
for mortgage loans is about 5 4-10 pet1
cent, while merchandise profits are In
many cases nearly five times as much.
BANKER AIDS STOCK INDUSTRY
Hogs Imported by Bend Man and
Distributed Among Farmers.
Practical co-operation with the far
mer by the banking interests has
proved successful at Bend, Or., where
C 8. Hudson, cashier of the First
National Bank at that place, has
greatly encouraged the hog raising in
dustry. It seems the plan was orig
inated by him and it Is growing in
favor In many parts of the country.
Mr. Hudson believed that the country
around Bend was a good one for bog
raising, arranged for the shipment of
a carload of well-bred sows from the
Middle West, distributed them to
farmers in the vicinity of Bend and
took their notes in payment, these
notes to run for one year.
The first year of this experiment
has now passed, and Mr. Hudson is
very much encouraged. In a letter
Just received by D. O. Lively, vice-
president of the Portland Union Stock
yards Company, Mr. Hudson says:
"I am glad to advise you that the
hogs will prove to be a very profit
able Investment for the people who
purchased them. I have had a report
from each man, and taking the two
litters of pigs from each sow I be
lieve they will average a profit of 100
per cent apiece or more. In two or
three cases I know they made as much
as 200 per cent."
GASTOX DISTRICT IS ACTIVE
Rich Farming Land in Demand, De
clares Thomas Cannlchael.
Thomas Carmichael, of Gaston, an
extensive land owner and breeder of
high strained cattle, said while In the
city last week that he expected to see
a big activity In farm lands In his as
trict during the next few months.
"The Gaston district is about 32 mtles
from Portland and Is one of the richest
In the valley," said Mr. Carmichael.
"Prices of land have been kept low, but
values are bound to Increase as the de
mand for farms there Is growing
steadily. The electrification of th
Southern Paciflc line will mean a great
thing for our district. The residents
and landowners there believe that th
project to bore a tunnel under Council
Crest also will prove a great factor in
the development of the Tualatin valley
and the Gaston territory."
REALTY TITLES ARE SOURCE OF
3IAXY DIFFICULTIES.
In Investigation of Property Owner
ship Many Things Must Be Con
sidered, Declares Expert.
Some interesting sidelights into the
business of handling property and the
formalities connected with a transfer of
real estate are given by F. L. Taylor,
secretary-treasurer of the Spokane Ti
tle Company, in a recent interview. In
the investigation of real estate titles
he points out how It is necessary to
watch the changing of residence sec
tlons into business districts, the com
ng of new additions, the Improving of
streets, the building of railroads and
carlines, the careers of men made
wealthy by wise treal estate invest
ments and others ruined by financial
reverses, and of husbands deserting
wives, and the records of marriages,
births and deaths.
"Many of the misfortunes shown by
the records are due to misunderstand
ing ot the law and failure to consult at
torneys. This is shown in the case of
the man who, in purchasing property,
has it deeded to his wife, with the idea
that in case of death or Insolvency it
will be safe from the claims of other
heirs or creditors. Usually they re
main In happy ignorance of their error
until after death or financial difflcul
ties overtake the husband, when they
learn too late that the deed to the
wife had the same effect as if it had
been made to the husband. Some lay
men foolishly undertake to prepare
their own wills, with the resul; that
long litigation follows.
"When the investigation of a title is
commenced the entries in the ledger
affecting the property are all listed,
and also the names of all persons who
have owned that property. The ac
counts containing these names are then
examined and all Instruments of the
second class are listed. The fnstru
ments must be written up from the
original records. This makes visits to
the offices of the auditor, clerk treas
urer, assessor, sheriff, engineer snd
commissioners at the courthouse neces
sary, and also to the offices of the city
clerk and treasurer and the land of
fice and of the Federal courts. County
taxes and city assessments are also
examined.
"This may show 'clear record title'
or defects in the title that must be
overcome, sometimes with an affidavit
to correct a minor error. W.'itn every
thing has been disposed of the certlfi
cate of title Issues. This is a concise.
guaranteed statement of tha condition
of the title."
XEW FREIGHTHOUSE DELAYED
Ground Which Was Filled Recently
Not Thoroughly Settled.
Completion of the new Southern Pa
cific freight-house on East Oak street
may be delayed for six or eight weeks
to allow the ground upon which it
rests, which was filled in by sand and
gravel dredged from the river, to settle.
The earth upon which the concrete
head wall on the south end of the
structure rests already has settled more
than six inches since construction work
there was started a few weeks ago.
Explorations in the neighborhood re
vealed that other filled-in ground set
tled fully 12 Inches before It became
solid. The Southern Pacific property is
settling at the rate of about an inch a
week.
Work on the steel frame of the
freight shed Is progressing at a normal
rate.
Fine Home Planned.
Architects Johnson & Mayer have
completed plans for a seven-room
dwelling to be built on East Twenty
fourth street, near Hawthorne avenue,
for H. L. Ganoe. The house will be
of Colonial type of architecture and
will be completely modern. The con
tract for the building will be let next
week.

special stairways leading directly to

grounds, ample provision has been
made for playrooms for boys and girls
in the basement The playrooms will
be at separate ends of the basement.
The heating and ventilating systems
will be important features. The air
will be washed and filtered before used.
Each pupil will have the benefit of 1800
cubic inches of the treated air an hour.
While every modern convenience has
been Included in the plans, the archi
tects, Whitehouso & Fouilhoux, have
kept the cost of the building as low
as possible.
The contract for the construction has
been let for $134,000. The building cost
includes the installation of the heating
and ventilating plants, plumbing, paint
ing and finishing work. The plans call
for the best plumbing fixtures. The
building will accommodate 922 pupils.
The cost of the building will be equal
to $137 to each pupil and $5750 for
each classroom. It is expected that
the building will be ready for occu
pancy in the early part of Winter.
Californian Buys Tract.
T. M. Hill, of Oxnard, Cal., has pur

STREETS, WHICH IS NEARING
FIRE MENAGE GREAT
Third-Rate Apartment-Houses
Endanger Lives.
HIGHER STANDARDS URGED
Fireproof Structures for Apartment
Dwellers Among Greatest Xeeds
of City, Declares Port
land Architect.
That the construction of apartment-
houses In Portland, whether in the fire
zone or not, should be of fireproof
material Is a question that has been
receiving the attention of architects
as well as contractors. Uf all tne apart
ment structures erected in Portland the
past year there are very few of fire
proof, class "A construction. There
are three or lour Duiiaings being
planned now, however, that are to be
fully fireproof.
"Portland win nave an apartment-
house fire some of these days that may
result in much loss of life and prop
erty," said an architect yesterday.
During the past rew years many
apartment-houses have been built in
Portland that are far from being fire
proof. Fortunately, there has been no
serious fire In any of them, but I be
Ileve that it Is up to the city authori
ties to pass an ordinance now prohibit
ing the erection of frame or mill con
structlon apartment-houses. Fireproo
material costs more, of course, but In
the long run It proves the cheapest.
"The present standard of living has
created a demand for apartment
houses In all cities. The larger thi
city, the" more pronounced Is the de
mand for thi class of buildings. The
apartment-house is now a permanen
institution. There are so many things
to be considered In this matter that no
time should be lost In providing for
every safeguard possible for the bene
fit of apartment-house tenants. In my
opinion, an apartment-house should be
lust as nearly fireproof as any Duiia
ing in the downtown district.
"In the apartment-house district on
the West Side it will not be many years
before much of the area win be built
up solidly with apartments. If the
lower class buildings are permitted to
rise in this district it will prove a big
mistake. Portland is going to be a
big city and we should begin now to
build right. Fireproof construction In
apartment-houses Is the one great need
In Portland today."
Building Inspector Plummer is of th
opinion that more serious consideration
should be given this kind of construc
tion. He points out that a fireproof
apartment-house is a much better in
vestment than a frame or mill con
structed building for the reason that
the cost of maintenance is less, insur
ance Is lower and it attracts a better
class of tenants. As a matter of fact
a large percentage of apartment
house dwellers today Insist on living In
fireproof buildings Just as much as
do transient hotel patrons.
GUI-OVER LANDS SOLD
LOCAL-
SYNDICATE ACQUIRKS
2400 ACRES.
Rich Acreage in Scappoose District
to Be Subdivided Into
Small Tracts. .
One of the important deals of the
month was closed a few days ago when
2400 acres of cut-over lands In the
Scappoose district were purchased by
a syndicate composed of J. B. Ruley,
formerly of Gilman, 111.; E. L. Luedde
mann. of Colorado Springs, Colo.; B. E.
Woods, of Tellacaset, and several Port.
land Investors. Both Mr. Ruley and
Mr. Lueddemann have removed to Port
land and will reside here permanently.
The tract Is Ideally located, being
about 25 miles from Portland on the
southern watershed of the Columbia
River. The entire length of the tract
is crossed by the Portland & South
western Railroad, a standard-gauge
line connecting with the S. P. & S. at
Scappoose. It is announced that the
line will later be extended to the Ne
halem Valley.
The greater portion of the tract is
slightly rolling upland, but there are
large parcels of bottom land lying
along the creeks that traverse tne
property. The soil is classified as red
shot and is considered excellent for
fruitgrowing as well as intensive farm
ing. The property has been subdi
vided into small tracts and is now be
ing placed on the market under the
name of "Scappoose Acres.
The tract was purchased from the
Chapman Timber Company, one of the
heavy owners of Oregon timber. This
company is now carrying on logging
operations in that district, headquarters
for these operations being located at
Chapman station, which Is in the cen
ter of the tract platted as Scappoose
Acres. These operations afford em
ployment for many men. It Is under
stood that the company prefers resi
dent employes and is giving the pref
erence to settlers upon the adjoining
lands. Scappoose Acres Is being sold
through Lueddemann, Bothfur & Com
pany, and has just been pt on the
market.
The gale of the tract to the holding
syndicate was negotiated by Luedde
mann, Bothfur & Co., of Portland.
"SEE AMERICA FIRST," SLOGAX
Association Organized to Exploit
West's Scenic Beauties.
One of the greatest advertising and
promotion schemes ever projected for
boosting American scenery and passen
ger traffic was launched in Chicago re
cently by the temporary organization
of a See-America-First Association.
Passenger traffic officers of Chicago
terminal rail and steamship lines and
resident representatives of other rail
and steamship lines met and after
general discussion the following was
adopted: "Recommended, that an or
ganlzation be formed, to be known as
the See-America-First Association; that
the membership shall consist of all car
riers, both land and water, chambers of
commerce, boards of trade, civic or
ganizations and others interested in the
'See-America-First' idea; that the ob
ject shall be the propagation of the
slogan 'See America First,' and ex-
ploitatlon of American scenic wonders;
that the chairman of this meeting shall
appoint a temporary board of managers
to act until their successors are regu
larly elected; the composition of the
permanent board of managers to be a
matter for later consideration; the
chairman of this meeting to call a con
ference of the temporary committee or
board of managers at an early date;
the subsequent meetings of the full or
ganization to depend upon the action
of the temporary committee or board
of managers." Communications were
read from commercial organizations and
representatives of carriers in the
United States, Canada, Mexico and the
Hawaiian and Philippine Islands, prom
ising support of the movement.

Aid to Resort Summer Col
ony Increases Rapidly.
Among the most popular and rapidly,
advancing seaside districts of Oregon
Is Gearhart Park, which Is a part of
Clatsop Beach, a short distance south
of Astoria. Established onlv a few
years, Gearhart has not only a big
colony of Summer dwellers, but also
contains a large number of attractive
cottages. So far this season more
houses have been built and planned
than at any period since this resort
was established.
In addition to the erection of cot
tages, there has been an unusual
amount of development work this year.
There has been more than a mile of
roadways, sidewalks and bulkhead con
structed since last season. ' Additional
electric wires and water main exten
sions have been installed to serve the
numerous new cottages.
Work Is progressing on the macad
amizing of the county road from Gear
hart to Astoria. With the completion
of this work there will be 60 miles of
modern roadways leading from Gear
hart to Jewell, on the Nehalem River
that can be traveled by automobile
with comfort at any. time of the year.
The road east of Jewell is also being
improved. This stretch of road will
be about ten miles In length. When
completed it will be possible to drive
automobiles on good roads virtually
the entire distance between Portland
and Gearhart. Many automobllists
have made the trip this season, and
pronounce it a most enjoyable drive.
Marked Improvement Made.
"A marked improvement was shown
this year in the early season businesi
at Hotel Gearhart, which, with the ac
tivity last Winter, indicates that Gea--
hart is a popular resort throughout the
year," said O. W. Taylor, manager, yes
terday. Patronage at the natatorium is
larger than it was last year, and it will
be necessary to enlarge the swimming
tank at once.
"The sluicing of the sand-dunes.
which was carried on continually all
last Winter, has shown a big improve
ment in the landscape north of the
hotel, where building operations of a
substantial character have been started.
The golf links are proving more popu
lar than ever this season. The putting
greens were re-seeded last Fall, and
are constantly rolled. They are now
considered among the best In the
Northwest.
There has been a great increase in
the number of people from the country
north and east of Portland, especially
from Spokane and other points In the
Inland Empire. Climatic conditions in
that territory are such that the people
seek the beach earlier and stay later
than do the residents here. It is this
patronage that Is becoming a big sup
porting factor at uearnari.
'Travelers to and xrom me Deacn
greatly appreciate the Improved road
bed of the S., P. & S., which was bal
lasted last Spring. The train service
has been especially good this season.
The tourist trips to Astoria and visits
to the canneries, the Jetty at the mouh
of the Columbia River and the beach at
Gearhart have proved popular.
The Lower Columbia Klver Agricul
tural Society, organized by the far
mers of the Lower Columbia district
of both Oregon and Washington and
of the Nehalem Valley, will hold its
fair at Gearhart this year. Contracts
have been let for the construction of
buildings for the fair. Besides exhib
iting its products at the fair, the so
ciety has made plans to exploit its
products in the East. The fair will be
held septemoer u-io.
Many Building Sites Sold.
In addition to the erection of about
25 cottages at Gearhart this year, there
has been a big activity in lot sales.
