Tha enormoua gains In caah made bf tha New Tonk banka for the , past three weeks, which promises to put the reserve well above tne required lum within 4 ahort time, marka tha final ' TL.in nf tha rich man a panic. Lo cally, the resumption of caah payments by the banka over iwo wtrm au out tha least sign of anything outside of the usual banning- ana commercial routine, reassured the few skeptical and timid aoula who naroored soma raii - lugs aa to tne ultimata outcome. , msalaeaoa Sites la Demand, ' It la not difficult to classify tha prop niM ihtt in moat sought in Portland at this .time. .. Practically . all of tho holdings that are now changing hand here are reaidence altea and favorably situated acreage tracta. Everybody with " money, no matter how amall a sum, just so It la enough to make tha flrt payment on a cottage or a building lot, seems to have determined to acquire a home, and thereby eliminate the land lord quantity. Mechanics with good saiarlea and even laboring men drawing ordinary day-laborers' wages, who have laid by a few hundred dollars in the paat two or three , years are buying ' Jiomes and noma altaa In the suburban districts. - It Is this general movement, bo wide ly noted-, that ia believed to be largely instrumental In building op the banka' reserves. , Several million dollar wero withdrawn from Portland banka between July and November of last year, much of which Is finding lis way back into the banka by meana of the large num ber of amall real estate purchasea now being made. ' As an illustration of this, a Stark street broker made a aale of a $2,000 suburban bouse and lot last week on which the caah payment waa 11,000. When the deal was ready to be closed. r tha purchaser produced the money in the form of currency which he said be bad carried on his person since lait September, when It waa withdrawn from a bank. Formerly, aaid thla broker, nearly all of our sales were closed up by meana of a bank check, while now. In a majority of the sales, the pur . chaser produces tha caah. Look for Znvsstmsnts. . "Money- la coming out of every kind or old place," aald another dealer. "The , iieople are becoming tired of paying j rent on safe deposit boxea, or of taking tha chance of a visit from a burglar. and are naturally turning to real es tate as a reasonably safe Investment. , One man came to my office last week and drew 13.000 from his pocket which he said he wanted to Invest in Income bearing property."' No considerable activity' In business property Is looked for Immediately. A necessary prerequisite to ' a general movement In this class of holdings is an easy money market The banks bava got to loosen up before very large tranaactiona can be made, and they are not ready as yet to finance large realty deals. Another factor In the local situation that' will have a svrong tendency to hold down to the minimum trading In Portland business property. Is the fact that so large a portion of the business district here Is held by large estates and wealthy residents who are, very much averse to parting with their holU- f.-.-., ,..ni i iw.ui , ...... ,.,.. .u ' ."" fm irf.:rii7yT; t5 .1' A-" 1 .

Realty brokers, like other classes of business men are easily spoiled by good times. Now and then you will hear an agent say that the market ia dull, whaq , as a matter of fact the daily volume of transfers filed for record shows a healthy and fairly active condition. The . trouble with those dealera pesslmlstl- cally Inclined la, that for nearly two years they had everything their own : way, ana tney imagined tnai tne real estate business would always be a pic nic. They expected too much, and when . riiiatnjkaa hwtm nnrmjLl Anrt rni . t rA the usual amount of hustling and ener , py, they blamed the market instead of -themselves. For -the most part, how ever, Portland real estate agents are optimistic, both as to the present and future "They all enjoyed a rich har vest for many months, and when the ' October reaction set in, they didn't com . plain, many of them expressing them ' elves as willing to take a rest after , av long period of feverish activity. ; Xetnrn of Normal Conditions. But this partial rest 'will not be for long. Already there are signs of a re turn of the prosperous days of a year ago. Many thousands of workmen aro being put to work in the large manu facturing plants of the east; over 100 hlngle mills on Puget sound will start up i February 3, after a shutdown of Ihree months; several Portland sawmills re again running night and day shifts, and a telegram from southern California says that thousands Of Jap anese laborers have recently been dis charged in that state and their places given to white men. This can have but one meaning and that is, that the coun try is returning lo ine nigniy prosper ous times of 180C and 1907. It Is expected that former Congress man Powers- of "Massachusetts will be Intrusted with the management of the Taft campaign In New England. Charles K. Henry, who has Just re- tnrned from his annual outing in southern California, comes back con- inced that there ia nothing In the land of "oranges and sunshine" that tends to make an Oregonian, regret his place of residence. Mr. Henry found the en tire southern country suffering rather more severely than Portland from the 'effects of the October panic. "My trip to southern California dis closed the fact that business conditions In that section of the pacific coast were materially affected by the mone tary troubles or tne last three monms or last year, saia Mr. jienry 10 a Journal representative. "Los Angeles and other cities extending on down to San Diego have felt the stress of the times very greatly. woiwiinsianaing the fact that Los Angeles has built a treat 'cirr.-wlth the finest of -electric car transportation, times are very hard and competition extremely keen as compared with the same month of 1907. Competition Xa Killing. "When one knows that there are 90 Jewelry stores in the city of Los An geles witn i nanxa ana if. trust com panies, alt paying rentals on ground valuations of from 13,000 to $7,000 a front foot ono can readily sea how keen competition must be, and how blighting on business it must be when the tourist crop is - lessened to about two fifths of the annual visitors. In addition to which, they are confronted with an extremely dry season, having but 3.86 Inches of rain up to January 2. - ' . ' . "A- noticeable feature In Los Angeles is the fact that nearly all the choice corners are secured and occupied by banka, and not as in Portland where they are chiefly secured as saloons and cigar stores. It seems that saloons In Los Angeles are limited to 200, conse quently, there is not such, competition for corners. . . Street .Oar. Judgments. "They have a magnlflcent system of street car service, and they go like the mischief. People are taught to . move out of the streets and, do their visiting on the r sidewalks- or get hurt. The papers there publish a statement ' that the street ; cars have killed during the last forty-nine months 222 people and 177 people l.ave been wounded. "A viBit to Venice, Long Beach, Naples and other seaside resorts show a great decrease In business and pro- ferty values at ' those respective places, t will certainly take- two- or three years for that section of California to recover from the depression caused by the panic of October. "Kan Diego seems to oe noidlng its own a little better, but it is bad enough at that place. An Oregonlan's attention is attracted, when In San Diego, to their plaza blocks, around which they have such, beautiful palms, at each of which there is a scooped-out portion of tne ground so mat water win De re tained, as applied to tha palms, but the rest of the plaza is air bare, dry and swept as floors: not a blade of grass to be seen anywhere, a vast contrast to the beautiful trees and green hills around Portland.

"San Francisco has accomplished a great deal in the last twenty months in the way of re-bulldlng. yet business has been widely scattered from Oak land to Van Ness avenue; and with the strikes of last year, the political up heavel, followed by the panic of Octo ber, merchants and property owners In San Francisco are Indeed In a sad plight. It is pitiful to see beautiful, modern four to six-story buildings fully completed, with money borrowed at high rates, high prices paid for ma terial, ana wages rorcea by the union. and the buildings now standing idle from sidewalk to roof. Happy may the Foruana people oe witn tne conditions existing here. "Witn our sninnins- racllltles and the prospect or better transportation.

The largest sale reported during the past week and in fact the most import ant realty transaction of the year was the purchase by Louis Burke from J. E.

The new owner announces that, in case a desir able tenant is found; the frame building on the lot win be torn out ana replaced with - a modern ,-bustness house, six or eight stories in height.

Lewis to prepare plans for a reenforced concrete safety deposit vault, in two compartments to be in stalled in the basement and first flool "of the big building at Fourth and Oak streets. The vault to be built In the basement will bo. specially designed for the storing of bulky valuables, such as silverware,: oil paintings, etc., while the one on the lirst floor, directly . above the basement vault will contain 6,000 small steel' boxes . for the - storing of money, jewels and valuable papers. The entrance to the -vaults will be on Fourth street, by the door nearest the Chamber' of Commerce' building. It Is probable that at first only 3,000 steel boxes will. be. installed, the other to be put in as 'the necessity Arises..' These vaults, . together with the one to be built in the Commercial club building, will, it is thought, supply all the additional .safety, deposit . facilities required in Portland for some years to come.

A reenforced concrete, stadium has Just been completed on the campus of the Syracuse university, which Is said to be the finest athletic field owned by any university in the world. In the current number of Cement Age occurs the following full description of both the university .campus and stadium: "The campus of Syracuse university consists of about 100 acres. Fourteen acres are finely laid out in a park of great beauty with drives, lawns and rus tic bridge. The main portion of the campus Is the site of 1( college build ings. It is located in the southeastern part of the city, on the highlands over looking the city and Onondaga lake. The land Is Quite uneven, the greatest irregularity being a hill in one corner of considerable elevation, which the t-tudenta call Mount Olympus. There Is a corresponding depression in the center, in .which the recently completed re enforced concrete stadium Is situated "Ihe stadium is more elllotlcal than the Greek and the Roman stadia, but is not Quite an amphitheatre. For soma distance the sides. are a straight line. It is really an amtihltheatrlral stadium. It Is well adapted to athletic contests, having a good 220-yard stratght-away. a cinder track and a field. There are IS rows of seats and a grandstand. The circle of seats is interrupted at the west end by a stately entrance, and the lower rows at either end of the grandstand by the necessities of the running track. The' outer measurement of this great structure is 670 by 476 feet It covers six and one third acres of ground. It seats 20,000 persona With Improvised seats it will accommodate double, that number. The grandstand seats S.000. The completed structure will cost S 400,- 000. . The great gymnasium adjoining, whose foundations ore now in. will cost about as much more. This will be the largest college gymnasium in the United States. There Is no other building, in Syracuse that excites the interest of citlr.en and stranger alike as does the stadium. "It is alone in its class, the stadium at Cambridge being quite different In its construction. It is somewhat larger than the Colosseum at Rome, but not quite so wide in the outside measure ment It probably covers a trifle larger area. As the Colosseum rises 169 feet In the -air with four-tiers of seats, it is not surprising -that its arena Is much smaller than that of the stadium, for 282- by 177 feet measures the arena of the Colosseum, while the stadium is 6S5 by 339 feet. But the Colosseum would neat nearly 60.000 and was a true ampliithe&trc. 'The University stadium is' larger and wider than the Greek sta dia, which were not, however, uniform in size, nor is one end cut off square as in tho latter. The Romans often modified these features, especially in rounding both ends so as to make the stadia re semble the amphitheatre, and this 1907 specimen copies the Roman shape."- bank clerk toward the gulf. On the day of his arrest Nordstrom had the little craft flying down the river under ruu steam, walker naa nis own ski pi per put out all lights and take a chance on which the detective overtook the other launch. After grappling with the rirst Doat like pirates, tne aoiective ana his aides boarded Nordatrora's boat and overpowered him. Nordstrom was dragged from a stateroom at the mu sle of a revolver. He first denied but afterward admitted his Idetnity. Of the 116.000 drafts were recovered enough to insure 111,000.
