An Interesting feature of the realty
market In Portland during 1911 was the
immense amount of .foreign money In-,
vested In the city.. One of the best
posted brokers Operating In local realty
made the assertion' at a recent meeting
of the realty board that not leas than
$2,500,000 of eastern money has been
Invested in , Portland real, estate this
year. The element of speculation did
not enter Into any of these deals. They
were all purely for investment purposes
and the buyers were attracted to, Port
land for the reason that they could do
better with their ..money here than eiae
where, both from the value and the ren
tal standpoint , , .;':;&?:; j-::::'i'---'j:'-'-
Realty brokers generally are of the
opinion that Portland Is Just , on , the
threshold of receiving a, large amount
of eastern money for Investment in real
property.. , Many Of thai leading brokers
who are In touch with eastern capital-1
IlsU'have deals now . pending for Port

volvlng total considerations of more
than $400,000,
In every Instance, said ' this broker,
these transaction' , are for . investment
purposes, and what la equally as en
couraging or more so, they are for cash.
By far the most Important sale of
Portland real estate to an outside buyer
mad this year, was that of the librarr
block on Stark street to J. W. Blodgett
a millionaire timber and lumber operator
from Michigan. While Mr. Blodgett
paid only $400,000 for this property and
while that: is generally considered as
$60,000 to $100,000 under Its value, the
deal was a good one for Portland, for
many reasons. First; It was for all cash
and that was an important Item to the
library board in that it furnished them
with means to buy a. much larger site
and one more suited to the purpose;
second; it unquestionably means the ex
penditure of at least a million dollars
in a new building. Representatives of
Mr. Blodgett in Portland have as much
as said that it was his Intention to put
up one of the finest buildings on the
Paciflo Coast on the library block. ,

That ' he will do It there is , little
doubt He Is a man of ample means to
finance such a project and is too good
a business man to allow such a large
sum of money as he paid for the block

would when the present building is va
cated by- the library.-: ,-.w -;; , ;..',

these transactions was $160,000.
In the early fall the Paciflo Telephone

bought the quarter block immediately
west of the proposed new Oregon hotel
for which was paid $150,000. This deal
also Involves the investment of money
