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. Excavations are being
made at more than a dozen places In

park are much encoiir.iged over the an
nouncement that t!. city water board
has definitely derided to extend the
water service to tirit part of the city.
Tile work Is to be started at onee. The
announcement that water mains are to
be laid means that many new homes
will be built in Council Crest Park dur
ing the summer and fall.
The task of tearing down the old
structures on the property at Fourth

C. K. Henry & Son. Is j'iroi;ressln.n rap
