REALTY AND BUILDING NEWS OF THE WEEK IN AND NEAR PORTLAND
. . "... . . ' 1 . - t
SALES AND HAPPENINGS
IN THE REALTY WORLD
Situation Purtaer Strengthened.
While big business ia not yet to be
classed as an everyday occurrence in
the realty and building circle of Ore-
' gon, there is an unmistakable Increase
J a trading: and much of It that be-
jspeaks a further strengthening of the
situation.
While the movement is still restricted-there
is nevertheless a marked im
provement and a tone which indicates
broad guagcd operations with the com-
ing months.
' Buyers are showing the courage of
ith'eir convictions that the city, is go
llng forward and not behind.
. One thing that particularly marked
the week just closed was the noticeable
increase in the number of per'uiis for
residential construction. In one day
. tit less than :.'0 permits were taken out
for erection of home buildings, and
a'nother day's record showed a total
of eight. In the building operations
the names of building contractors, who
erect houses for sale, appeared fre
quently, a sure -sign that they an
ticipate steady buying later in the sea
'son when the sunshine makes the
" pocket of the home seeker blossom.
' Among the big things which the
year holds in store was announced
as ready for actual workduring the
week, when a wire was received from
Jason Moore, in New York, that in
terests le represents are ready to
spend J", 000. 000 in construction of
pipe lines, pumping plants and fac
tories to handle the salt solutions of
. ttao Summer and Abert lakes. This
announcement follows ratification by
tho legislature of the 40 year lease
on: (lie takes. The projects calls for
12,000,000 in the construction of a 271
mile wooden pipe line from the lakes
to the proposed plant sites on the
Deschutes, and $5,000,000 for plants
and machinery.
Another big thing which is rapidly
approaching actual construction is the
Interstate bridK that will connect
-Portland and Vancouver. Bids for
the various work in connection with
the $1,750,000 structure' will be opened
Tuesday, and it is expected that con
tracts will be let very soon.
One of the largest repair jobs in
-1'ortland will soon he started wnen the
Alder hotel at Fourth and Alder,
gutted by fire recently, will be rebuilt.
.It is estimated that approximately
$33,000 will be expended on the Job.
At Medford excavation work has
been started for the $90,000 post
office; and this week it is expected
contracts will be, let "for the ftfO.OOO
Blake-McFall building, which Will rise
at the east end of the Burnside bridge.
Reports from the state at large in-
t dlcate that spring building operations
are opening up in good shape and that
, trading in rural properties is good as
compared with the operations of last
autumn.'
Moore to Spend $7,000,000.
Provided the plans announced by
Jason Moore, head of a syndicate that
has just taken' a 40-year lease on the
Summer and Abert lakes are carried
through the coming summer will find
hundreds of men at work building a
'271 mile wooden pipe line from the
lakes to the site proposed for th
company's proposed plants on the De
schutes near its mouth. Moore, who
i Is in New York, has wired to his
; Portland attorneys that all plans are
made to go ahead with the expenditure
of $7,000,000, which will be necessary
to expend in construction work and
machinery before the various salts
, contained in solution in the the lakes
can be separated and manufactured for
commercial purposes. In addition, to
the pipe line the plans call for the
erection of various plant buildings and
the construction of hydro-electric
plants to generate power.
Realty Executive Board Meeting.
Dean Vincent, a member of the ex
ecutive committee of the National As
w sociation of Real Estate Exchanges
and president of the Portland Realty
.Board, has received notice of the quar
terly meeting of the executive commit
tee, to be held in Memphis, - February
32. This will be one of the most im
portant meetings of the committee, as
it. will consider plans in connection
with- the eighth annual convention of
the National Association of Real Es
tate Exchanges, which will be held in
Los Angeles, June 21 to 24.
From the large number that have
already signified their intention of
; attending this convention, it is pre
dicted that it will be the biggest gath
ering of real estate men ever held In
the world. Perhaps the principal mat
, tef'of business will be to approve a
tentative program, which Is being pre
, pared. An entirely new Idea will be
Introducedj and instead of the usual
: papers which have been read, the pro
. grura provides for a brief presentation
of practical real estate subjects and
then a reasonable time for discussion
from the floor.
Each subject will be given a speci
. fled time on the program, and will be
presented fcy a man thoroughly compe
tent to, lead the discussion. It is be
lieved that this plan will add much to
the interest of the sessions, and that
many valuable ideas will be developed
that will enable the members to give
a greatly increased service to their
"" clients. .
- All of the questions to be considered
are not technical, for among them are
If He's "Lucky"
; There's a Reason
' , "The man who buys property today
and buys it right is quite likely to
i be the man who will own his home
, tomorrow. He is likely to be a man
who Is steady, industrious and sub
stantial, and who thus wins the confi
'dence of.his employer.
'Why don't you resolve to acquire
the habit of stability by buying a lot
or a small piece of property? There
are many opportunities such as the
following:

several, such as city planning, mu
nicipal ordinances, real estate apprais
als, taxation and real estate . legisla
tion, whtch are subjects that every
citizen should be interested in, and, in
discussing them, the real estate men
continually have in mind the interest
of every citizen and real estate owner.
Several boards in different sections
of the country are hoping to combine
their delegations and travel to Los
Angeles by special trains.
Bruiser's Stand Approved.
Portland architects are virtually a
unit in their approval of the. stand
voiced by Arnold W. Brunner. past
president of the American Institaite of
Architects, against "anonymous archi
tecture" as printed in Thursday's Jour
nal. Brunner's article, which is one
of u. series of editorials run daily in
The Journal and written by men of
national reputation in various lines,
declared that he believes architects,
like authors or painters, should "sign"
their work.
Asserting that architecture is an "art
that is half a science," he ueclared
that on structures of importance the
architect should have his name in
scribed on a plate or tablet. Already
the American Institute of Architects
is championing the proposed plan, and
A. E. Doyle, president of the local chap
ter of the institute, said yesterday thai
he intends to bring the subject up for
discussion at the next meeting here
to ascertain whether Portland archi
tects want to bo individuate their
work.
"For the architect to place a name
plate on a building he designs ap
pears no more than right to me,"' said
Mr. Doyle. "Such action would serve
to make a man raise his ideals above
the dollar always. It would inspire
him to do his best in every instance,
because the building would stand as a
monument to his skill. Now he gets
paid for his work, and none knows he
evolved the design."
Edward Root, took much the same
view. "Considering only the practical
side of the question," he said, archi
tects should have the privilege of
'signing' their work. There are many
beautiful buildings in Portland, but
outside the architects themselves very
few people know who designed them,
and a man is entitled to be known by
his works."
"Architects Houghtallng & Dugan,
were both strong in their advocacy of
the name plate proposition, and Mr.
Whitehouse of Whitehouse & Fouilhoux
believed it a good proposition and
added that a step further should be
taken by adding the names of the
building committee as well.
Ditch Company Reorganized.
At a reorganization of the Furnish
Ditch company in Portland Thursday,
J. O. Storey was elected president
and manager; R. H. McMillen, secre
tary and treasurer. The directors
chosen by the company are J. O.
Storey, R. H. Irwin and K. W. Web
ber of the Portland branch of the Bank
of California.
Storey, who Just bought the "Fur
nish Project" for $500,0000, was In
Stanfield last week looking over the
property and making plans for Its im
mediate development.
Mr. Storey was accompanied by S.
M. Jackson, manager or the Bank of
California, R. J. McMillen and Mr.
Peterson, aff of Tacoma.
Storey said that he and his associates
would immediately start an active cam
paign to dispbse of the 6000 acres of
unirrigated land which Is included in
his purchase.
Bridge Bids to Be Opened.
Unless a postponement is ordered,
which is not likely, proposals for the
construction of the proposed $1,750,
000 interstate bridge, connecting Port
land and Vancouver, will be opened
next Tuesday afternoon.
A large number of bids have been
submitted, but it is not probable that
more than a very few will bid on the
construction of the entire plant. Un
der the provisions of the advertise
ments, contractors are allowed to bid
on any part of the work they desire.
This stand was taken by the commis
sion with the double object of securing
comprehensive competition and at the
same time making It possible for a
greater distribution of Jobs with a view
of setting more people to work. ,
Webb Caerry Orchard Sold.
Tne well known Webb cherry or
chard on the Base Line road, near the
12 mile house, is now the property of

is valued at $35,000 and was traded

len, for a 476 acre stock ranch three

Will Beat Building by Electricity.
Providing the plans under considera
tion EO throUSTh. the nrnnnniul IT 1 (re
building at Klamath Falls will be the
"fBi uuiiuing on tne coast to De com
pletely heated by electricity. An ex
pert has been consulted in this regard,
and is now at work in San Francisco
securing data to ascertain whether the
scheme would be feasible and econom
ical. The building will go up some
time this year, and will cost between
$40,000 and $50,000. It is anticipated
that bids will be asked in the near fu
ture. Will Test Snack Ordinance.
The city'a anti-shack ordinance,
which provides that the city can con
demn and wreck any buildings more
than 40 per cent dilapidated. Is due
for- a test in the courts to ascertain

is now all that stands between the
city and its possession of the H. C
Campbell tract near Troutdale as a

proximately $34,000 is available. It
is believed the gardener can be per
suaded to relinquish his lease.
As soon as it is cleared away. Mayor
Albee is ready to close the. deal and
