REALTY MOVES
REMARKABLE
Mid-Summer Transactions
Show No Signs of
Abatement.
Midsummer quiet, which almost In
variably correctly describes the condi
tions prevailing in the business world
at this season of the year Is in no Way
applicable to the realty market In Port
land. In fact, the surprising thing
about Portland realty is not its dull
ness, but its activity. The record of
the week just close'!, while not showing
any very largo transactions, was no
table for the volume of sales. Including
half a dozen dpals Involving amounts
ranging from $15,000 to $45,000.
Volume of Business Enooaraglnf.
For mid July days and in a dull sum
mer. It will be conceded by those who
are familiar with the subject that the
volume of propertv changing hunds in
this city is far greater than might be
expected considering the general tone
of dullness pervading all branches of
business.
Looking back over the transfers of
one year ago it is found that the aver
age dailv volume was less than $70,000,
whiln thd la v flvpraan since the first
ol tho present month la Just about this
sum
Last July the country was still well
within the upward prico movement
which had been on since 1904; there was
not the slightest Indication of the finan
cial storm that burst upon the country
In October.
All lines of business were good,
money was plentiful, labor was em
ployed, yet at this time when the coun
try is supposed to be Just recovering
from the effects of a panic, tho realty
sales In Portland rival in volume those
of a year ago.
Tho first half of th year 1907 Is
looked upon as being the period when
building coitditions In Portland readied
tho high water mark, but the volume
of new construction under way In tho
last half of 1908 will in all probability
exceed that from January to July of
last year. This building activity ac
counts in n larg? measure for the re
markable Wnprovement In the realty
market. An active real estate market
is necessarily accompanied by a con
siderable activity In building.
Money Plentiful.
One of the principal factors contrib
uting to the large amount of new build
ing In progress and under contempla
tion and to active demand for all classes
of real property Is said to bo the
abundance of money, not only In the
Portland banks but In the banking In
stitutions throughout the state A num
ber of tho more prominent loan agents
state that money was never so plentiful
.'nd that funds are to be had f"r any
kind of a legitimate and safe building
or realty deal at a rate of Interest
much below that exacted In the earlier
months of the year.
As an Instance of the part that plen
tiful money is playing In local real
estate deals attention Is called to a re
cent transaction where a piece of cen
tral realty was sold for $'i0,000. all cash.
The purchaser having but $35,000 of
available funds, had no difficulty In ne
gotiating a loan on the property for
the remainder of the purchase money.
Three months ago this would have been
almost impossible, so averso wer the
banks at that time to making real es
tate loans, money now being loaned Is

I vestment and building purposes, and
hugely homebuilding at tiiat. Buying
for speculative purposes Is very rare.
The bankers knowing this, and the fact
that the loans as a rule represent but a
small per cent of the value of the prop
erty mortgaged, but little trouble Is ex
perienced in negotiating such loans.
Iarg-e JJTarm Sold.
The largest renl estate salo reported
last week was a 4 50 acre farm on ths
Columbia river road above W'oodlawn,
which was purchased by a Portland
dairyman. The tract formerly belonged
to a Boston capitalist and was sold
through the agency of Charles K. Henry
& Son for something like $45,000.
The same firm sold a lot last week on
Tenth street, near Everett, the title
having been taken by tho Mercantile
Trust & Investment company. While
the consideration was withheld It is un
derstood to have, 1 en about $20,000.
L. A. Lewis closed a deal Thursday
for a lot on East Morrison street be
tween East Third street and Union ave
nue. Tho property belonged to Clarence
B. Sewell and was sold for $15,000.
H. F. Rlttman has sold to the Log
Cabin Baking company a SO-fnot lot
on the southwest corner of Russell
street and Mississippi avenue, consider
ation $16,000. On the premises Is a two
story brick building occupied by the
Log Cabin Haklng company.

GHITECTS FEE
TOTALS $500,000
Lump Sum Paid for Design
ing Equitable .s Huge
Structure.
Dariel H. Burnham, a Chicago archi
tect, is In a fair way to earn the larg
est fee that has ever been paid to an
architect for designing and superintend
ing the construction of a building. The
fee, o00. 000- will be the usual B per
cent allowed architects, and will be
paid for tho design and superintendence
of the 62-story building to be put up in
Now York, City by the Equitable Life
Assurance society at a cost or iiu.uuu,
C0O. The plans for this structure have
Just been filed with the building depart
ment of New York City by Mr. Burn
ham. They show the building to be In
four parts. The first or lower 35 stories,
which will reach a height of 473 feet,
will occupy the entire plot. The next
14 stories will have about two thirds
of tho floor dimensions of the first sec
tion, the third section of nine stories
about one half and the remaining four
stories still less.
In effect the building will suggest a
child's playhouse of blocks.
Owners of property in the vicinity
of the Equitable plot are very much
interested In the new plans, as the
building, when completed, may darken
many structures, which now have ample
light.
How to Keep Benzine.

SANDY ROM NOW
OILED BOULEVARD
Automobile Drivers Take
Advantage of Lack of
Dust.
The completion of the oiling of the
Pandj' road now gives It the distinc
tion of a boulevard, find a gret many
owners of automobiles have taken ad
vantage of the beautiful drive out to
the Country club. Tho dust having
been eliminated, the road has been fair
ly lined with machines eve-ry evening
this week.
In driving over this road, one can
not help but notice tho many fine new
homes that are hoing erected on both
sides of the boulevard, there being a
building limit In this etitlrw territory.
extonding to the Country club and bn-
'Onil, and the absence of small lihucKS
is very noticeable.
Rose City Park, Relle Crest and
Hyde Park are all centers of activity.
Thousands of dollars are being expend
ed m mocern improvements, dozens or
teams and numbers of men are rapidly
changing what was onco virgin forest
into one of the most modern and
prettiest portions of the city. People
who have lived in the city for ypii'S
are greatly surprised at the wonderful
change which has been made here In
the past year. The view from the hill
crests Is most Inspiring. Standing on
tho highest spot tn Hyde Park, one can
see the Columbia liver, the mountain
range all around them, and ubove nil.
Mount St. Helens, In the evening can
be Feen In all the lory of (-unset, from
Its very base to Its summit. Ail of
this suburban country is building up so
fast that In a few yearn the beautiful
hillside sites will he covered with cost
ly and artistic homes. Hose City Park.
Belle Crest and Hyde l'ark have th i
advantage of extreme accessibility to
the business district of the city. Cora
leave the terminus every 10 or 16 min
utes for the city.
In turning to the right, off tho
boulevard, to go to tho Country olun,
on Marina avenue, looking to the left,
attention Is called to the new artistic
gateway to Hyde Park, constructed of
cobblestones of uniform size, giving
this addition an exclusl veness that is
very pleasing to the eye. We are told
that while Hyde Park has been on the
market only 30 days, 415 lots have be?n
sold, and eight homes are under con
struction. This certainly speaks well
for the popularity of this addition.
Arriving at the Country club grounds,
one finds everything moving along nice
ly. A large force of men and teams
are rapidly completing the track and
grounds of what is destined to be one
of the fastest tracks west of the Mis- .
