Large East Side Transaction

Properties Sold.
With the exception of one larje eaat
eida transaction, and a halt a dozen or
80 deals In Beml-but lnesa properties,
the local real estate rqarket, while fair
ly active In the outlying sections and
in medium priced residence properties,
was not of special interest last week.
Brokers, for the most part, reported a
temporary lull although the field is
run or new Duyers looKing ror desir
able investments in ' central property.
-It is the old story, indifference of sell
ers,' and eagerness of buyers, so far
as Portland business property is con
cerned. J
It musfc not he undsrstood, however,
that trading was confined entirely to
housing properties, for there were sev
eral sales of parcels that are even 'now
which promise within a reasonable time
to be valuable business" holdings.

fer by Tom Word to C D. Brunn of the
Oregon Realty . company, of the two
half blocks on East Stark street "be
tween East Third street and Union ave
nue,-which- was - purchased: last . week
by word from the Mount Hood com
pany for $115,000. The resale was at
an advance of. 7000, This property
was bought three years ago by the
Mount Hood Railway company ror ter
minal purposes but a change, of the
company's plans for its entrance to the
City made it desirable to sell the pieces'.
Believed to Be Kallroad Deal.
The Oregon Realty company is one
of the concerns that has been most ac
tive in the past three months in buying
holdings in the east side warehouse dis
trict and while Mr. Brunn and others
connected with the company have re
fused to throw any light on its numer
ous transactions in, that section, there
Is a very general belief that this com
pany and other operators in that dis
trict represent one of the transconti
nental railroads already here or one
seeking an entrance to Portland.

ported last week was Ahe purchase by

of East First and Stark streets, for
$32,600. XIr. Reld Is already heavily
interested in that section, being presi
dent and general manager of a large
cold storage . plant at East First and
Washington streets and it is probable
that this purchase was bought for im
mediate or future extension purposes
of that plant
