REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS FOR
1906 AND 1907.
Portland real estate was very
active throughout 1807, and prices'
ruled Arm. The early months of
the year showed a considerable ex
cess In the volume, of transfers over
the same months of 1006. but the
total for 1007 shows a small de
crease. This was entirely due to
the National ftnanctal stringency
near the close of the year. It should
be taken Into consideration, " too,
that sales were much more numer
ous during 1906 than ever before.
Values were never more stable than
at present, and Indications are that
heavy trading will be resumed within
the next few months. Following Is
a comparative table of transfers by
months for 1908 and 1907:

ENTERS ON LUST STAGE
OOCRT-MARTIAIi OF GEXERAli
STOESSEI XEARIXG EXD.
Evidence Introduced That Pert Ar
thur Would Have Fallen at first
i Attack if Not Surrendered.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 31. The
courtmarttal of Lleutenant-General
Stoessel for the surrender of Fort
Arthur to the Japanese entered on Its
final stage today. The court had evi
dence upon the Council of War of
December 29, when the members of the
Council refused to entertain the sug
gestion of surrender. The prosecution
Introduced tho estimate of General
Smirnoff that the resistance could bava
been prolonged for six' weeks more.
Several witnesses testified to the in
dignation with which the proposal to
capitulate was received by the Council
of War, but certain officers from the
firing line gave contradictory evidence
and intimated that the boldest counsels
against surrender were given by those
who were stationed furthest from the
enemy. The troops were dispirited and
sick, almost to a man, with scurvy. It
was declared, and If the capitulation
had been delayed the fortress would
have fallen before the first vigorous at
tack of the Japanese.

CLUE IN PHLEGLEY CASE
Horse Owned by Missing Man Re
turns to Canby.
Advice has been received from
Canby, Or., throwing some light on the
disappearance of James Phlegley, one
of Canby's prominent citizens, who was
thought to have been murdered for
robbery on December 18, on the road
between Champoeg and Canby. Yes
terday the horse which Mr. Phlegley
had been driving at the time of his
disappearance, walked into Canby
minus his harness and the buggy. In
formation was obtained to the effect
that a strange man had ' met Mr.
Phlegley on the road and asked him
for a ride. .
From what has been learned of the
trip taken by Mr. Phlegley just prior
to his disappearance, it is known that
he had collected several accounts from
customers in Champoeg and Russell
ville, and it is believed that he had
fully $500 with him. This indicates
that he was killed and robbed by the
stranger, his body hidden in the brush
near the road, the buggy likewise hid
den and the horse turned loose.
Additional search has been instituted
by Sheriff Beattle and deputies, in the
hope of clearing up the case. Mr.
Grant Phlegley, of this city, manager
of the Portland Woolen Mills, is a son
of the missing man.
