Indications point to a great ' revival of electric railroad construction in snd I about Portland durlns the nn-Mnl monthr snd ir large number of men will be- needed. Ths effect of -these enter prises on sll lines of business, and par ticularly .real estate, will be beneficial andjsrlll do much to restore the splendid-condition of the market existing prior to the San Francisco disaster. -It Is said the construction of the proposed Systems 'Of - interurbsn railways- will mark- ths beginning of a new era of growth that will exceed any former period In Portland.
