STEADY 0CtlVlty, leAtuEeu w oao -
the most important and interesting
\ transactions in q large Main street
frontage in the business district IN
years, marked the real estate tradin6
In the week ending Monday.
The death Of County Auditor A.
Dobson, and the suspension OF BUSH
ness in the. Office for half the week,
stopped the transfer Of real estate
temporarily. The result was tnae
while many details were closed late IN
the week they have not yet become OF
record, as business in the office OF the
county auditor was not resumed until
late Monday. 81
The sale Of the DAILY property. corner
Of Main and Second streets, to w. q.
Stricken, trustee for group OF busi-
ness men who are the purchasers was
the very stellar transaction OF the
week. The city as whole will watch
with keen interest the development o.
this site. The purchase price, findt-
Gated to be about $4,000 is regarded
as low.
South Side Activity. .
Another interesting feature OF the
week was the marked activity in south
side real estate with the opening OF the
viaduct. The volume of traffic that
began at once to stream over this
structure has opened the eyes of own
ers to the possibilities Of development
for residences on the rolling higher
ground back from the creek bottom.
A very substantial movement in Hill
Crest addition lots has been put under
way. -
Right In Zine with the feeling OF
owners that development will follow
on the south side has started owners
Of large tracts to investigating the
possibilities Of subdivision into build
ing lots or one to five acre tracts.
There may be such q plan behind the
purchase OF the Millerville farm for
which Andrew Knudson paid near 5000
an acre. .-..,..
The delay in building a new bridge
over Linn creek, that is hindering the
extension Of the street railway line to
the south side and the operation OF
cars over the ,viaduct Is the largest In
fiuence in retarding south side devel-
opment. -.- ..
The volume of business for the week
was $40, ATS. compared with $4439S for
last week, $145,s60 for the correspond
