There la. not a section of the city that doee not ehow houses, etore buildings, office etruetures and ware- houses under way. while In the indue, trial aeetlon faetorlea and mills are going up alongside of each other, v No other city has ever enjoyed the tilth ' percentage of Increaee oyer the previous year a did Portland In May, when the number ef permlta issued ahowed that the buildings for that month were t0 per cent over the cor responding month of a year ago. No other pity ef similar else can show for three months -the Increase that Port land does. The value of buildings for whioh permits were Issued In May, June and! July wae placed at I.170.774, which 1a an Increase of 11.168.805 or 1(8 per cent over the same three months of IMS.' The July building record was " l4- permits- Issued, requiring an ex penditure of hearty three quarters of a million of dollars and the number of permlta is 110, more than in July of last year. - ' To fully appreciate this great growth It s must be recalled that building' in 1V was particularly active, for then the Vewla end Clark fair was about ready, or under-way .and numerous' structures for use - during the fair period were being built. - The record also atfowei that the. fair, instead of pro ducing aty slump, has had the oppoalte effect T buildings now. being erected are of a rtruclt better type than ever before' hullt In Portland and no other city, of the ii' else ss this ran show so many buildups of such a high type. I Za the Hk"lese DUrtriot ' The building activity in the business ipart at the city ! remarkable. Work men are seen on evee.v hand and the air is filled with the taitP of the pneu matic riveter, the raspof the saw and the ringing sound of the meaon's trowel. To give the buildings now tinder con struction or those completed within the past two months would be almost like - directory -of the business' section of Portland. Just to give a few as an Idea of what Portland is doing in. the way of constructing modern business blocks can be mentioned the following! Wells Fargo Co. building, IT stories. Corbett building, 10 stories. .... r milllH WUIIUIIIft, WV.V MWM, :. f Buchanan building. Washington street near Fifth, six atoiies. , r Swetland building. Fifth and Wash? Ington. seven stories.

Buildings , Contemplated. ' This is only , a partial list, of those now under wey, but they serve to show the activity. In addition to these there are a number of oontemplated buildings on which work is expected to be started In the near future. Among these -can be mentioned the Russell Blythe ouuaing, . Bixtn and Stark streets, 14 stories; the Yean building. Fifth and Alder streets, either It or 14 "stories f i"M niuh, Tlfth" snrt fs streets; 'the Beck building. 10 stories. Seventh snd Oak; the addition to Meier at Frank's store, sixth and Alder streets; the enlarging of the .Lang building. six to ana Alder streets. This partial Hat shows what Is being done in the business section. In the manufacturing district several new structures are under way and along the " harbor vast building-Improvements are being carried on and others are con' t em plated, but the thing that showa the r real. true- and healthy growth is the , building of homes. This summer there re something like BOO homes under eon traction, snd so many others ' are planned that thla record will stand until the busy building season is over, and next year be renewed. , :'. . City's B3f a Building Record. The progreaslveness . of any city is hewn in ita building records, and that record In Portland stands as a shining mark. 'The city offers every advantage ror aeveiopment. and it la lust now com- Ing Into that development It has the nest of transportation facilities, excel lent sites for manufacturing plants, am ple water -and power, - low tax rates, cheap building material and rapid tran sit ... - i The commercial supremacv ef Port lend has long been an established fact Witbln Its confines are 1.500 manufac ' tuiing plants, with 140,000.000 capital .

Basklag Beeorg BxoeUeat, ' ' While all theee show the Industrial growth of the city there has to be something to accommodate this growth nd therefore the great amount of build ing going on In Portland la the real evl denre of the advancement of the city. In the buildings and houses now being erected are all specimens of architec tural beauty of which the cltisena may feel Justly proud. In order that such becoming dUplay shall exist and con tinue toward ' Increased development!! le neoesssry that there should be ar chitects to design and builders of skill and .experience to carry out such de signs. Portland has both, so the build ing goes on. and Just where 'expansion wia-ceaso It 4a hard to predict Cer tainly there are no Indications of -say retrenchment at present, .
