In the opinion of those who closely
watch realty and Industrial movements
and attempt to determine their bear
ing on the future of development of
the city, tha excavation begun last week
by C, J. Cook eo, at Sixth and

icant one. Tha dead line of stately, an
tiquated residences that has so long for
bidden tha Invasion of business has
fallen to make way for the new, mod'

It is only a step but a premonition of
what Is to coma. . .

A tumble of t par 1,009 feet for

Is going the rounds among builders, as
a result of the increase of freight rates
on aaatbound lumber by tha tranacon-
tlnental lines. A revival of home build
lng and a tremendous fall and winter
building movement Is being predicted
by archltecta and builders.
There are architects who declare the
people of Portland and tha whole north'

100 pounds in tha aaatbound transcon

of $1.10. It la aald by local builders
that the more profitable the eastern

pensive becomes lumber for the home
people on this coaat
The printed price Hats of the Port
land lumber mill combination for the
last three years are produced to show
that in proportion aa tha eastern mar
ket haa been built up for Oregon lum
ber, the manufacturer In Portland
have raised prices to Portland consum
ers to an enormous extent Common
rough lumber, the basing grade, waa
selling to Portland buildera in 1904 at
$8.60 per 1,000 feet and tha mills were
making money at that price

Today the same rrade of lumber Is

ana otner varieties, wnicn waa aeuing

builder $33. No. 2 finishing lumber waa

certain what, that luxury costs, but it
is around $4 per dump load whereas it
could be had in plenty three years ago
at $1.60 per load.
The archltecta and builders who deal
directly with the manufacturers and
keep in close touch with the meaning
of every rise or fall of the lumber mar
ket declare that the present hlah prices
