' r - V RlKht now there la not a vacant house in the city of Pendleton, and the "full-up condition la not due to the Round-up crowds either. Before the Round-up began every available house was occupied and when the Round-up of this week la only a mem ory, the aame will apply. Aa a mntter of fact vacant houses In rendleton have been aa scarce oa white blackbirds for the past few eara In this city and, despite the fact that new houses are being built every yer, the supply can never catch up with the demand. This demand for houses has result ed In bustling building activity. Dur ing the rast few years many hand some new homes have been construct ed and the close-In residence lots have been selling at a premium. As hlRh aa $2000 has been paid tor a single residence lot. However, there are plenty of cheap lota to be had at a little distance from the business d' trlct. 1 The building activity has resulted In the platting of new residence dis tricts. Two small additions were made by E. T. Wade and U. T. Hrown along the river Just west of the Main street brldg. Charles Cowen of Se altle platted Irvlngton Heights at the northwestern city limits nnd designed It along lines of scenic beauty. Ht lias placed certain restrictions upon the lots so that only first class dwell ings can be built there. A fourth ad dition added to the city la at the northern limits. It wa platted by Mr. and Mra. Lot Llvermore. In each of the new districts houses were built at once. More than a hundred residences have been built In the past two years and they range In cost from $2000 to $12 000. Most of them have been build along the lines of bungalow ar chitecture though the colonial de sign has found some favor. The building operatlona hnve not been confined to the residence dis tricts alone. In the past two years business nnd Institutional bulldlncs have been or are being constructed at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. tine of the most notable building Improvements was made In !lt when the new five-story Pendleton Hotel was built by W. P. Matlotk. The too-1 tel, modern In every particular, cost about I'iO.OOO. At the same time the St. George Hotel made some exten-i sive Improvements. At the present time there Is under' construction In the city a $100,000 federal building for the housing of the postofflce and the headquarters of the I'matllla national forest and also a new wing to the Eastern Oregon State Hospital costing $100,000. Eica vatlon for a new $35,000 library build ing Is under way and construction work will be started in a few weeks. A new $10,000 garage has just been completed and another garage for the exclusive use of the Ford agency is under way. This will give the city six large garages. The Knights of Pythias have pro jected a new $3B,fl00 building which, If built, will be three or four stories high and will not only give the lodge new lodge rooms but will give the Commercial Club handsome new quarters. Tlie Elks lodge Is also form ing plans for the erection of a new ball. In all the building permits for 19H totaled $174.fO and the permits this year have totaled about $90,000 excltuve of the federal building. Eastern Oregon hospital wing and li brary building. rendition has never been boomed but she is enjoying a substantial and continuous growth.
