HO(Wlinsiajia.ing in. ngiiu.f mwBi
the week's realty movement haa been
Urge enough to keep the dealers from
- falling into habits of languor. , Monday
and ' Tuesday, the market waa practi
' rally at a atandstlU. but early Wednee
" day morning the real aetata offices put
' on the garb ef bualneaa. Inquiries were
plentiful and - aalea numerous. The
agent complain that nearly alt the de
alrsble altea In the bualneaa district
' have been withdrawn from' the market
and are not to be had at any reasonable
fif-ur. Holders of this class of prop
erty are refusing- to tie It up on eon-
tract with any one agent for any deft-
rite period. Aa expressed by a proml
' nent selling Arm: "The ownera ot
choice Portland property are refusing
10 give agents ckciujit. wuuvio vn
their holdings. The market haa been
advancing so rapidly of lata that . tha
owners of realty are becoming stam
peded. They put a price on a piece of
' property today and by the time we
have a customer ready, te close a deal
at tha atated figure up goes the prloe.
and of course we lone 'our time aad a
sale, not to apeak of being discredited In
the. ayes ox our customers, rne suua
tlon In that regard ia bad, but I aea no
help for it." v
Advaaoe Predicted..
It ia the general opinion of the' best
, . informed agenta that a considerable
'. advance In the price' ot all classes of
Portland realty will be made immedi
ately after January 1. Vialtora to Port
land from other coast cities are aston
ished at the cheapness of choice down
town altea here. Charlton Donald, a
. prominent real estate dealer of Van
couver, B. G, haa been la the city for
the past week studying realty condi
tions here, and la convinced that prices
are altogether too low when compared
; with other cities having no better .nat-
' ural advantages than Portland. Mr.
' Donald la of the opinion that Portland la
a larger and better city than Seattle, yet
te property la selling for a much lower
price than that of the aound city. In
- discussing the situation Mr. ' Donald
"aald: . . i l
. "Portland presents an unusual ap
pearance of aolidity and strength. Her
growth has been remarkable , and ahe
will nndoubtedly become one of the
large cities of the country. Portland
: haa ovary natural advantage, and her
growth depends largely upon the efforts
of her own people. One of tha cheering
signs that I notice ia that Seattle men
. are putting their money In Portland
property. I am reliably told that thla
' la true. It certainly showa tha drift of
opinion aa to Portland's future." '
' - wm Stake Fnrchaeea.
. Mr. Donald was so much ' impressed
With tha excellent' opportunities for
making money out of Portland property,
that he announced bla Intention of re-
. turning la a few weeka to make pur-
1 chases in local realty. 'If Portland
had tha public spirit that the bualness
men In the California towns have, there
- would now be 100,000 people here,"
aid W. IL Amaaon of Sacramento.
There ought to be a system of lnterur.
' ban electric railways connecting Port'
. land with every good-alaed community
within a radius of 60 to 100 miles.
continued- Mr. Amtson. , 'The people
here don't seem to -understand that In
these strenuous times they must stand
- together and spend their money in the
common cause lr tbey would build a
great city. . There is not so fine a nat
. ural location for a great port and rail
way center on the Paclfio coast as right
. here at Portland. I believe that one
: half tha growth of Los Angeles Is at
, trlbu table to the fact that her people
stsnd shoulder to shoulder and fight
for anything and everything that Is for
pact to come to Portland and engage In
business, and I want to see the Los
Angeles and Seattle spirit Infused Into
.-, these people.",
