Small Volume of Heavy Con

tracted, for Recently,
PLAN WOOL WAREHOUSE
XiaorsUiurst Company Hot at Elabor
ate Seoeptlon on Completion of
Several STew Dwellings.
Local building operations last week
i confined entirely to residence con-
truction. The largest permit issued
for buildings of that kind being under
$5000.
Whether the Liberty loans are ab
sorbing the available supply of money.
or whether high priced labor and high
priced building materials is the cause
of a falling off in construction Tin
Portland is of little consequence since
the fact remains that a negligible Vol
ume of heavy construction has been
contracted for during the past 60
days.
New dwelling houses of frame con
struction are springing up in many
parts of the city, especially In the
high priced east side residence sec
tions. One of the "things of interest
to builders and realtors during the
past week was the elaborate reception
given by the Laurel hurst company at
the site of five handsome new resi
dences Just completed by that com
pany at East Davis and Laurelhurst
a Vend e.
i The Laurelhurst company kept open
House for several afternoons and eve
tiinga showing these beautiful homes
and they were visited by a large num
ter of people.
N. O. Eklund has broken ground a
1189 East Burnside street for a 15000
dwelling house. The structure Is to
be a two story frame" building and the
drawing shows an unusually handsome
effect.
A permit for a two story residence
was Issued last week to H. E. Do
herty. The new house Is t& be erected
at 363 Aspen street at a cost of $3300
W. II. I,acer has let a contract for' a
one story cottage to be erected at 1878
Cranhuton street. The building will

resenting trie, Portland Woolen Mill
at St. Johns, prepared the plans and 1
superintending the construction of
two story warehouse, being erected by
that company neitr its mills. The
building will cost about $5000, and

ONE IMPORTANT.DEAL
IN LOCAL REALTY IS
ABOUT TO BE CLOSED
Great Majority of Properties
Transferred in Past Week
Are of Low Valuation,
One Important realty deal In' local
property was about ready to close Sat
urday, though the brokers interested In
the transaction were not ready, In fact
refused to give any particulars, as the
title had not been formally reported
on. Otherwise, so far as announce
ments from agencies are concerned,
there was not even a normal movement
in real estate, except, of course, for
the usual fair-sized volume of small
properties. In fact, it is only fair to
say that last week the small holding
was much In evidence In the record of
sales. A, great majority of the prop
erties traded in recently have had an
actual valuation of less than $1000
each.,
One of the Influences that Just now
is having a deterrent effect on the real
estate business is the stiffness of In
terest rates, which Is beginning to
show itself. Discussing this subject
recently, one of the older established
realty operators said that he could not
understand why there should be any
good reason for raising the rate or
interest on loans secured by fortiana
real estate. -
Six per cent for loans aoove $3000,
secured by the better class of resi
dence properties, has been the ruling
rate In Portland for some years, but
quite recently brokers have been talk
ing about 7 per cent on this class or
loans. Some loans have been made on
central property as low as S and 6
per cent, but recent Inquiries for loans
of this kind reveal a disposition by
lenders to demand 6 per cent for their
money. -
to build two or three years ago was
heard in the local courts last week
when the architectural firm of Bridge
& Webber secured a Judgment against
Multnomah county for $4000, Which
they claim Is due them for drawing;
the plans and specifications of the
projected structure.
This is another one of the numerous
cases where a Judgment was secure!
on what the plaintiff declared wu a
verbal contract as no written contract
was ever entered Into between :the
architecture and the county oomriiis
slcners looking to the building of the
hospital.

There was some evidence last week
that the realty board as all organiza
tion may take a Tiand In budget making
by the county and city. If there Is any
class of tax payers, as expressed by
one of -the leading realty brokers, that
Is interested to a vital degree In the
discussion of taxation It Is the owner
of city real estate.
Portland pays practically all of the
taxes levied and collected " by Mult
nomah county, hence owners of Port
land real estate have a real reason for
Insisting that the county hold the tax
levy to as low a figure as is consistent
with proper administration of county
airairs.
The. same thing-holds good In city
lkacvliuii inaueiD H.HU ine realty men
Deneve that there are many opportunl
ties at the city hall for, cutting the cost
ui municipal government. -
While no definite action has been
taken by the realty board, as yet It Is
probable that at an early ' meeting, of
the board the matter will be discussed
and that 'discussion will' in all prob
ability lead to the appointment of a
committee of realty operators to take
up budget affairs of both the county
commissioners and the city council.

ent of a farewell luncheon Saturday,

cigar holder, the presentation e-peech
being made by Bam Meyer, assistant
manager of the Hippodrome.
Mr. Kofeldt came to Portland sev
eral years ago a cashier for the Pathe

of the film game to the position of
manager. From his work in Portland
he has gained tike reputation of being
one of the most progressive film ex
ploiters in the territory.
The farewell party Saturday was
about as Bohemian as people can get
in Portland, and the members sang
rag time and jazzed around as only
film folk can. Present were W. W.
Kofeldt. Abraham Nelson, B. J. Sperry,

Tunnel at head of box canyon on Eagle creek trail
The tunnel at the head of the box
canyon on Eagle Creek is now com
pleted, according to advice from the
forest service. This tunnel Is about
30 feet In length and is bored through
solid rock and extends under an un
named waterfall which is about' 150
feet high. This waterfall will prob
ably be named after the Eagle Creek
trail.
The Eagle Creek trail was begun In
1916, starting from the camp grounds
on the Columbia river highway anJ
to extend to Wahtum lake, a distance
of 12 miles. Four miles of the trail
were completed that . year, which put
it up as far as the Eagle Creek
bridge. As soon as it was practicable
the work was resumed this year, and
six miles more were completed. A
small crew is still working on the
trail, but bad weather will compel
leaving the work before it is com
pleted. After ' reaching the other end
of the tunnel last week, only two
miles, were left to finish the trail to
Wahtum lake This part will be done
as early as possible, in the. spring by
the government workers. The fact that
much of this trail has Tequirtd heavy
rock work in its-construction explains
the -rather slow progress of. the work.
Eagle Creek .canyon' is very a't-

by men-and women of high to-

The trial is the climax of a ro- V

of Former Mayor McClellan of New

Miss Mary Frances Isom, librarian
for the Library association, has asked
the county commissioners for an
emergency appropriation of $10,000 to

would be in addition to the annual
half mill levy for the library work.
Miss Isom says that the half milt
is no longer nufflclent to care for the

tion will be sold at public auction at
the Klamath- agency November 22 has
been announced by Superintendent J.

the estates of deceased or aged In
dians, vary in size from 40 to 169

such auctions at a very low figure.
The Klamath Indian reservation is
one of the most famous stock raising

tribes, and residence among them has
