"'' ''''''' Dtciiieil, Lewis .& Staver -Co, -5... . ...... r . There has been a largs number of real estate changes In the past few weeks. the rather unpleasant weather not seem ing- to have much effect 'on the large in creasing sales. s-v J. L. Wells, a prominent jEast Side real estate dealer, In speaking of the situa tion, aald: "We have had a large num ber of calls lately from Eastern people who, are looking for a place to locate. They come from all parts of the country and the first thing they Ao Is tp rent a residence and then begin to look around. They generally only stay In a house a month at a time, making it rather hard on the owners of the . property. The class of Immigrants that are coming to Oregon at the present time are very much better than those who came several years ago. -They are a very careful class of people and know what they are buy ing. Tou fcan't fool them." The general feeling among the dealers Is tvery . encouraging. M. E. Thompson, who Is -representing "large amount of city property, -.-said: " (consider that "the real estate situation Is very encouraging, af least it is to me. I have JUBt figured the sales that have been" made In the W llllams-avenue addition and they foot up to $45,000 In the past five months. The weather has been against us or we would have done a lot of mors work in that vicinity. There are in the Williams-avenue tract at the present time about 16 houses ' under construction, . eight have been constructed In the past year and there are already 20 more, contemplated." The same good reports .come from all sections of the city. . . The number of people who are looking for houses to rent la getting larger every day. One real estate dealer said that he had 10 people in his offios , yesterday who wanted to rent houses.-, ' ; All the lumber mills are -working ever time, most of them night and. day and still they are unable to keep up with their orders. If there are po labor trou bles in the building line this Bummer, there will be over a thousand bouses con structed this year. During the months mtr January Tana February, the real estate deals In Port' land amounted to tj.095,660, . and the month - of March alone, 1 nearly ; reached this sum. ' - ABOUT SHINGLE RATES., It may be of Interest -to shippers to learn something additional -in. the matter Of lumber rates. It seems that prior to the cancellation ot shtngle rates on No vember 1 last, the rate to East Bt. Louis was 6ZH cents, which was In effect over the Burlington and Northern Pacific via Billings, Mont, and also by the Bt Paul. Omaha and Kansas City gateways. , when the 8t Paul-Chicago lines can eeled the rata, the Burlington and North em Pacific declined to do ao. via the Billings Junction point The. result wast that the anomaly was presented , of , a rats to East 8t Louis via those three lines of 62H cents, while the other Unes were quoting a Ocent rata. November Mi MOTOR CYCLE $200:00 9 WELL - ESTABLISHED HOISE FIRST AND 27 last the Great Northern, invconneo tlon with the Burlington, via Bt. Paul, met this rate and put forth a tariff of 62H cents also. Then came about a curious state of affairs. One shipper declares that noth ing was known at freight headquarters here that such a, irate was In effect via. Bt. Taul, although it had existed from November 1. 1901, up to about ltr days ago. It is true that the rate was abro gated November 1 last, but it was again restored on November 27. This Illustrates how easily tariffs, similar in nature, may possibly become entangled with others.
