While there were no unusual devel opments In last week's real estate mar ket, the number of smalt sales held well up to the record of the past several months, and In addition there was re ported one transaction Involving $28,000 besides half a dozen or more where the consideration was between 15,000 and $10,000. ' The value of small sales Involving from .$1,000 to $3,000 is larger than at any 4ime since last October. An ever Increasing number of transfers are re corded at the county clerk's office each day, and while the amount involved In these deals is not large, in fact com paratively email, In tTTe aggregate they 'are not discouraging to those Interested ,ln a healthy movement in real property.

Peninsula, people are looking forward with satisfaction to the coming of the big packing plants ' of the Swifts and other companies next month. Prelim inary work on the 400-acre townsite is now under way. The grading of streets and the making of cuts of fills is being watched with interest Especially are the real estate men pleased with the near advent of the packers. Actual con struction work will begin July 7. The establishment of the big plants in Portland means the expenditure of $4,000,000, the building of hotels, busi ness blocks, more schools and churches and dwellings for a population of be tween 8.000 and 4,000 people who will fill un the new nacklnar town. The grading of the new electric line to the plant sites is now being done by the Portland Railway, Light & Power company. This will give an added im petus to building operations on the fienlnsula as it opens up a new-district a development and home making. The route of the line passes within seven filocks of the Peninsula station and tv!11 nut the cltv a half mile nearer to many of the residents who now have to walk from half a mile to two miles to the St. Johns carllne. An incident of the growth producing effects of the packing plants on the cities with which they become Identi fied is St. Joseph, Missouri. This was a provincial town In Missouri before the meat men decided to makeUt a pack ing center and it was hardly on the map. Now it is one or tne leading cities of the middle west and a strong rival of Kansas City and Omaha for the trade of the big section of country of wnlcn tnese three oiues are tne center. What the packers have been to St. Joseph the peninsular residents believe tnev win De to fortiana. vvitn mis city once firmly established as a center ror tne meat traae or tne iar west otner Interests will come and so a rapid growth will follow in all lines of busi ness as well as increase In the popu lation.
