REAL ESTATE ACTIVE
Many Important Transactions of Land
Made in the Willamette
Valley.

The farm lands of the Willamette
Valley are certainly coming into their
own, as is clearly manifested by the
activity in that department OF the real
estate business of Oregon. Large
tracts or small are changing hands
almost daily-up the Valley from Port
land, in every section through which
railroads already run or are being
projected.
Prices of farm lands are mounting
up to figures never before realized,
and tracts which, few years ago
could not have been sold for $50 an
acre are now going for from 800 to
5000 an acre. Colonists from the
middle west are especially prominent
among the eager buyers OF Willamette
Valley land.
Concerning the activity in real
estate, an article published in the
Portland Journal. of Wednesdays
issue says:
''The publication of handsome
folder by the Oregon Electric showing
proposed extensions of the electric line
reaching nearly every section of the
valley between Portland and Roseburg
has caused an immense increase in
land values in every district to be
touched by any Of these projected lines.
Numerous recent sales in Yamhill
and Washington counties indicate
that the buyers are confident that the
building OF these extensions by the
Oregon Electric railway will not be
long delayed The sale Of the Lowns-
dale orchard near McMinnville and
Lafayette is but forerunner of the
big development in valley fruit lands
that may be looked for within the next
year or two. This Lownsdale orchard
tract, consisting of $50 acres, nearly
half of which is set in apples, was
bought for $275,O The planted lands
sold at price varying from $500 to
$1,000 an acre, while the ranch land
probably went in at about 800 an
acre. The improvements on the place
are very valuable and consist of one
of the best equipped packing houses
in the country and a water system
capable of supplying from $4,000 to
100000 gallons day.
"Mr. Lownsdale will retain an inter-
est In the new company and will man.
age the property. He has always been
believer in the superiority Of the
Willamette valley apples over those
grown in any other part Of the United
States and is firm in the belief that
within few years this district will be
the greatest apple growing section in
the United States.
,, Large tracts of Polk county land
have been purchased by E. V. Garter
and Ben Bowers, of Ashland, who will
/, set all of their holdings In that county
10 Yellow Newtowns.
"While apple culture is receiving the
! attention of a very large portion Of
: the people of Washington and Yam
= hill counties, large areas in those
: counties are also being set to walnuts
"The same development is to be OBJ
= served in Linn and Lane counties
= although probably not on 80 large
= = scale as in Benton, Polk, Yamhill and
y Washington.

Telephones Knocked Out.

Since the high power wireless tele-
graph station was installed at the
Brooklyn navy yard there has been a
decided interference with the efficien-
cy of telephone and other wire serv-
ice in the vicinity. Experts who have
been investigating the matter, believe
that the electric waves sent out from
the navy yard wireless station are alb
sorbed TO a CERTAIN extent by the tele-
phone and other wires carrying the
electric currents and that this acquisi-
ton of a foreign current has inter
fered with the wire service.
