AUGUST RECORD WILL SHOW BIG INCREASE August for 190R, BltlioiiRh but hnlf irone, promises to show an lnc-teajo over the corresponding: montli last yv.w In the real estate business of from 40 .to 60 per cent. ' The several large sales of the week Raided materially In bringing- the condi tions and the business of the week to a successful close yesterikiy. One of the lurest deals of the month, ror of the year in fact, was rhe transfer of 67 acres of Rose City l'riik to ililton. Iobba & Campbell by Hartinan ti (Thompson. The price paid was about S200.000. - Real estate dealers attribute the good showing In their business to the con ditions of the country In general which are improving rapidly alter the cur rency famine of last fall and to the fact th&t many outsiders have recently located in Portland and that conditions generally are rapidly becoming normal again. Another reason given for the belh-f that August of this year will exceed the real estate business of the satin--month of 1H07 by 40 or HO per cent Is the fact that the fall business Is he- f Inning earlier this year than It has n most of the seasons gone by. I Thompson, of Hartraan & Thompson, said yesterday that this Tnortth was away above the average In his business and that it promises to be , one of the bext Augusts that the firm lias ever evperlenced. Cither dealers reported Equally as favorably and many Iteileve that the month will be the one of the largest In the real estate bus iness that Portland has ever had. Hundreds of residences and homes are being built everywhere. ; Take a walk up and around Portland 'height and see the numerous buildings Kolng up In every direction atd everv part of the city as far as the eye can see. Look around you on the hill. You will see knolls and valleys and level spots and many other building s'ttes dotted here and there with cottages, bunga .lows -and dwellings fit for a king- An,U ,in the Improvements in thie down-town section of the city 'he same Is true.
