of , the many, new bualneaa centers stsrt
ed at various polnta in the outlying dis
tricts, ' but in the aggregate they have
. far excelled tbs latter, aa they have
in ;the Important bearing which they
exercise In the . upbuilding of Portland.
These subdivisions ars responsible for
Bearly all of the local bualneaa centers
which have sprung up here and there,
, and for their prosperity and Increasing
land values, just In the same way that
a suburban Portland as a whole is re
sponsible for the towering skyscrapers
.of the central district, aa well aa Ita
; towering values.
Growth Xs teady.
For the pest three or four years the
flevelopment has been on a steadily aug
menting scale, due to new and better
lines of suburban street transportation,
to a rapidly increasing population, and
to growing desire among a. large ele
ment of thrifty people of the laboring
and cleral classes to get away form the
older and congested districts of the
city, and to secure a home of their own
with a bit of ground amid cleaner and
generally more healthful surroundings.
Evidence of the Increased activity in
subdivision property has been amply
shown in the large Increase In the num
ber of small transactions put to record
during the present year while more val
uable properties' have been more or less
sluggish since the early days of tho
year.
Jt would be Impossible here to handle
In' detail subdivision development
throughout the city, but it may be in
teresting to trace its more salient and
more important features.
On Upper r.nlneula.
'. Beginning at the north, or what is
termed the upper peninsula, where the
first extensive subdivision of raw land
was done. Practically every acre of land
west from Union aVenue to St. Johna and
north of Kllllngsworth, and to the low
lying land beyond Columbia slough, has
been cut into city lots during the past
.four or five years. Aa a direct result
Of this subdivision thousands .of homes
have been built In that section and a
core or more of prosperous business
tenters have sprung up.
East of Union avenue and north of Kll
llngsworth, an Immense area has been
.Jxansforrned into residence addltiona and
"'many hundreds of new homes built.
igayonft- RoseCity Part; fully 1000
acres has been out into city lots And
much of It built upon, while further
to the east one company haa subdivided
a largo tract. In this "district the acre
nd half acre lot Is rapidly growing into
-favor with those who would supplement
a modest income by the cultivation of
more ground than is found in the or
dinary city lot.
Small Farms.
They have found these miniature
farms not only a natural aid In -meet,
lng the table wants of a growing fami
ly, but also a source of health giv
ing recreation. A vast extent of terri
tory to the east of the city which Is
.now too far out for residence sub
divisions has been cut into acre and
"half ncre tracts and Is finding ready
; purchasers. East Montavllla and Mt..
Tabor large tracts, which until recent
ly were in berries and small fruits,
are now flourishing " resident addi
tions. The story of the activity of
the -sobdtvUers In the southeastern
section of Portland Is Known to every
body. For a distance of eight or ten
miles along the O. W. P. llnea practi
cally all of the., available territory has
been platted Into city lots and thous
ands of them have been built upon
and are now the scenes of happy and
prosperous homes.
