'Realty Market Shows Con
stant Activity and Large
Number of Sales.
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.
Even tbq most optimistically inclined
cannot reasonably expect daily or even
weekly, sales in down town property.
There Is -never a long continued ac
tivity In such property, even under the
most favorable conditions.

TO HEAT PLANTS
Peninsulans Expect Big In
creases in Business and
Also in Population.
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

Interests will come and so a rapid

Mr. Cooke is of the opinion that the

of "seeing America first," and that they
