Newspaper Page Text5, THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 14, 1917. BBBBnSSSBBBnnBBnSnSBnSBnWBnn SMALL FEATURE !ES OF REALTY Movement in Certain Lines Appears to Be Improve ment Over Past Months. CHANCE FOR INVESTORS Costs of labor and Materials Are to Hold TTp'for a Considerable Time, Say the Experts. Portland's realty market continues to travel In a narrow channel, transac tion" for the past week showing no advance; in fact, the brokers report mat tney are barely holding their own. The general situation may be described, in bo far as sales are concerned, as at a standstill. An occasional deal Is re ported which Indicates that some speculator has caught the fever In rtuced by low prices and is taking over some holdings which someone else has been forced to turn loose. inis nescnption. however, does net apply to the small residence oroDcrtiea In that branch of the business there Is a movement somewhat better than has been observed for a number of months. Conditions Are Puzzling Asking prioes for nearly every class of property Is at the lowest ebb in 10 years, ana tins particular Tact is a puzzle to those who are careful observ ers of realty market prices. The rea son that It In puzzling Is the apparent unwillingness of persons with ready money to go In and buy when there Is practically no chance to lose and every chance to gain. Almost without ex ception' realty brokers are convinced that the bottom of the market has been reached, and that from now on prices re bound to move upward, though it may be by slow degrees. Just no Jong as the war continues, a very large portion of that part of the public that l:s ordinarily willing to take a chance on a real estate buy will hesitate to undertake investments, yet to the shrewd buyer no better opportu nity has ever been offered. There Is some indication that bulld eds and investors are preparing to ad Just themselves to the prevailing prices In building materials and labor and to make the bet of the current standards as here to stay for the period of the war, and perhaps for a year or two thereafter. Prices Semaln TUrra "Although labor and building mate rials are higher than they have ever been," said a well-known Portland op erator, "those who are best capable of judging a situation of this character feel that only a slight modification in this situation is apt to occur for a long time." Trices of all kinds are going to hold up for all kinds of building materials and labor, and builders may as well make up their minds that apartment bouses, dwellings and all other kinds of buildings are not going to be soon again built for the money that such structures could be put up for a few years ago. Prudence is a virtue, but it should not be permitted to cloud the power of analyzing conditions. An owner of vacant property that he thinks ought to be improved may Just as well make up his mind that it will stay vacant a long time unless he is willing to accept the market conditions of material and labor as we find them today. Several Deals in Residences Reported Among the larger residence sales re ported last week was the purchase by L. N. Spencer of th Matthew Ford property at Scenic Place. Tne consia eratlon involved was $5000. H. K. Kalkenbrlnk has closed a deal with U. F. Bauch for the purchase of the cottare occupying a 60 foot lot In block 8. Linn s addition. Mrs. Louis If.

Lilly Co., one of the leading 8eed"houses of Portland. This old structure, like its immediate neighbor to the north, is one of the several valuable Portland properties belong ing to the Meade estate. It was built along about 1870 and for many years was a popular hotel. For many years prior to one year ago it was run as one Vof the cheaper class of Portland hotels. About 18 months ago the old building was leased by FredWick H. Strong, agent of ihe Meade estate, to the Lilly company, and after undergoing extensive repsiirs was occupied from basement to roof by the Charles H. Lilly Co. PERMns SSUED FOR DWELLINGS; 2 STORY CHAPEL TO BE BUILT Catholic Church Will Expend $9000 in Structure to Rise in Laurelhurst District. Aside from a email number of al teration permits authorizing work in wo of the larger downtown buildings, new construction in Portland has for weeks been confined to the small type of dwelling houses. Last week was no exception to this rule. Arriong the permits authorized during the past six days were two providing for one and one half story cottages located at 1580 and 1S84 Sandy boulevard. The houses will cost $3500 each and are being erected by J. W. McFadden, the owner. Another story and a half house of much the same type of construction was authorized by a permit issued to Martin Jonasen, to be built at 1182 Ogden street, in Berkeley addition. John Hetges of 2059 Holladay ave nue took ont a permit recently for a one story frame residence to be erect ed in Lee Bow park and costing $2000. Builders Henneman & Johansen have been awarded the contract for repair- ng the postoffice building at Fifth and Morrison streets. The alteration s an interior one and will cost ap proximately $2250. The Roman Catholic bishop of Ore gon procured a permit last week for a two story chapel to be erected at 145 East Thirty-ninth street, in Laurel hurst, at a cost of $9000. Architects Jacobberger and Smith prepared the plans and will superintend the con struction. This building will occupy the sightly location northeast of the property formerly belonging to Charles K. Henry and now owned and occu pied as a residence by Mrs. Harvey W. Scott. REALTY TRANSFERS Ruth S. Carter and boa. to Walter V. Hnjitn. und 1-3 of parcel In see. "8. T. 1 S..

The Far East Commercial Supple ment states that the railway board has decided to raise the wage standard. Officials receiving less than 40 yen ($19.94) per month are to have a 2 yen ($1) increase, and those who are paid per diem are tov get 6 sen (3 cents) mare each working day. "Two yen a month seems to be a small sum, but It means a great deal to this class of workers. All private establishments will probably follow suit," Coal Shipments Diverted by West Fuel Administrator Garfield has is sued an order stopping the shipping of coal Into Canada from Lake ports." The purpose of the order is to divert this coal to the northwest, where there is great and Immediate need of it. About 180,000 tons of coal are shipped from Lake ports dally, of which only about 53,000 tons have been reaching the northwest. One hundred and fifty thousand tons a day must be shipped until the close of navigation, to meet the needs of this region. io ' " Big Dry Kilns Will Use Sweet Potatoes " Seventy-five dry kilns for sweet po tatoes will be in operation In Louisiana by the end of thj year. These kilns have Veen erected under the supervi sion of the state council of defense, and will effect great savings to the farmer and business man, holding sweet potatoes without decay and as suring better returns to the grow jp ana lower prices to the consumer. Jacksonville, r'la., has organized a $50,0100 corporation to erect sweet po tato drying houses in different sec tions ' of Duval, county, and will take care of the largest crop ever grown in that section, which will yield much needed ' cash to the farmers. Duval county, which had been backward 4n general farming, planted over 3500 acres of vegetables this year, harvest ing more -than 900,030 bushels of vari ous products. England to Spend Big Building Sum "It may be ovf Interest to those en gaged in the lumber business to kno"v that the committee which has been inquiring into Mousing conditions In England has recommended the erec tion of 1,000,000 hipuses and an initial loan from th government of 250,000, 000 pounds," eays the U. S. informa tion bureau. "The population has gone on In creasing these last three years and It is said n6t a house loas been built in England in that time. The govern ment has practically signified Its acquiescence. Whether the houses ire brick, stone or wood, it means lots of lumber. Incidentally if that is the condition in England, what must it be in other countries, especially in the devastated areas." Transfer of Buehner Holdings Announced The announcement was made last week that the Buehner Timber and Lumbering interests on Coos bay had been sold to W. C. Slattery, formerly a resident of Portland, but now living at Cleveland, Ohio. The reported con sideration was 81,750,000 and the prop erty sold included In addition to a billion feet of standing timber, a saw mill at North Bend, two timber schoon ers and an expensive logging plant. The standing timber Is supposed to contain something like 250,000,000 feet SEIZING A FOOTHOLD Portland Boy Kept Eyes Open Going Through South Good. Humored Comments Made Regarding People and Places Train Passed Through Southerners Main tain Reputation for Hospitality C. , Allan Myers, the son of Mr. and Mm J. H. Myers of 724 East Burnside street, writes entertainingly from Charlotte, North Carolina, where he went recently with the Oregon troops to the national mobilization camp. Young Meyers was with the train tear ing the horses and mules, his journey occupying some 11 days, aa 25 miles was the speed through many sections of the country instead of 60 miles, the record made going south to the border at the Mexican uprising of 1916. At Sacramento the lad couldn't find a restaurant operated by a white man, but the city made up for this lack by patriotically flying "Old Glory" from every building in honor of the passing soldiers. Yuma) Arizona, he declared was all "shacks and dust" with some Indian squaws adding a picturesque touch. Efforts to photograph them. however, met with discouragement, the women covering their faces with their shawls and finally throwing rocks at the picture takers. Free Swim Is Provided Tucson was the only place In all Arizona "worth stopping at," accord ing to the young man, for there the Y. M. C. A., true to its traditions of being of real service without red tape attached, opened up the swimming tanks at' 10:30 p. m., and the boys had a good plunge and shower bath, "that ; alone being worth a whole lot to us, he adds Two days were consumed in the trip across' Arizona and New Mexico, the last day without water to drink or to wash in, nor was it till El Paso, Tex., was reached that water was secured, for stock trains are not equipped with tanks, ice and refriegrators. To com pensate the boys for these discom forts en route the El Paso Red Cross girls gave them sandwiches, coffee and post cards. It was at this point that they found the line clearly drawn as to the people OUT-OF-TOWN Klamath Tails. Impressed with the wonderful outlook for the Klamath district at this time. G. A. McCarthy of San Jose has purchased 1000 acres of this county's fertile soil. The de tails of the transaction are not to.be made public at this time, as the final transfers have not been com pleted. Mr. McCarthy will make ar rangements to move his household goods to this county and become a permanent resident. He declares that after considerable travel over the west, Klamath Falls was the most live town on the coast. He believes that the tremendous resources back of the city will make it one of the principal centers within a short term of years. Dallas. Albert Ruge has sold his 147 acre farm, located on the Salem Lincoln road, to C. F. and F. J. Woelk and C. W. Dancer; consideration, 8100 ner acre. Mr. Woelk and his son take 57 acres and Mr Dancer takes the. balance of the farm. The deal was made through the F. L. Wood real estate office of Salem. Amity. The Ellis Realty company has Just sold the farm of F. M. Black, consisting of 100 acres and situated about one mile southwest of Mon mouth, to William Letteken of Amity. Mr. Letteken has been very successful during the past year farming in this county. The deal was for 812,600 cash. This farm is practically all under cul tivation. Is well improved and has on it an orchard pt about 25 acres. The soil is very fertile and the farm has been used chiefly for dairy purposes Pendleton. Another sale of wheat land was announced recently. David H. "Nelson has bought 320 acres from Gideon Brown for a price that is re of spruce, 500,000,000 feet of fir and the remainder in cedar and hemlock. The Buehner corporation acquired this property about a year ago from the Simpson Brothers. Forest Service Is Seeking Mill Men The local office of the United States forest service is still seeking more men of the north and the south, in appear ance and manners, and the deserts gave way to green pasture lands, fat cattle and productive ranches. - Houston, Texas, was pronounced dirty by Mr. Myers, who noted that the policemen of that city were not spicx and span aa they were In Portland and that their uniforms were much toj large for them.

Th Young Women's Christian asso ciation at this place proffered their swimming tanx at 20 cents a head, out there were no takers from the lads who were offering their lives to their countrv and felt that a free batti wouldn't have wrecked the Institution The "bunch" were not disposed to miss any of the sights on the trip and so stayed up all night to see the Mis sissippi river. This was one of the most interesting features of the trto, j the ferry taking their train of 29 cars across at one trip. The river was three miles wide at this point and re quired SO minutes to cross.

Frank C. Clarke of Medford Is the architect. The barn will be 110 by 100 feet In dimensions, two stories high, and will have several commodious wings. It will be a frame structure. The huge barn will be the largest of the many buldings on the '1900 acre ranch. Among other modern features it will contain a vermin proof granary and creamery department, will have special ventilation and sanitary feat ures throughout, and will be thorough ly equipped with modern machinery. Vale. Convinced that he had rather raise Malheur county alfalfa than Idaho fruit. F. J Tickner of Fruit- land. Idaho, has purchased the I Pritchett farm nine miles west of Vale and will move on the place as soon as he disposes of his present fruit crop in Idaho. SUverton. During the past few days C. K. Schubert has taken over trie old Adams farm of 31 acres, lo cated near SUverton. The land is all cleared. There is a good-barn on the place, the house having burned several months ago. Mr. Schubert bought the place as an Investment and unless he decides to turn it over before spring will seed the same to small grain. to serve in the sawmill camps of the Northwest. Though a great many men are already employed In the larger mills, smaller ones are clamoring for help. The great orders that the gov ernment has given the west for ships and lumber for their construction has given so great an impetus to the in dustry that there are not enough men to do the work. The local foreser's office serves as a sort of employment bureau to those who are qualified in sawmill work and who desire positions in the western mills. They ask that those who are interested apply at the offices In the Beck building, Broadway and Oak streets, Portland.
