Real Estate after all is the best in
vestment to be had. Nothing is more
safe and certain than good inside busi
ness or residence property. Persons own
ing good real estate hold their own secur
ity and draw their interest in the shape
of rents, themselves. We have been
steadily in the real estate business In the
city of Portland for nearly 20 years. We
have not dealt In fire Insurance, life In
surance, nor have we interfered with ab
stracters or lawyers in fact, have not
done a department store business, but
have sold inside business and residence
property strictly on a commission basis,
the owners getting their prices and- the
sellers knowing that they are not being
taken advantage of. Now is the time
for people with money to invest in good
property. Persons having property that
they really wish to sell should list it at
once with us; and those wishing to buy
will find it to their advantage to call
upon us. as we always have good bar
gains. Charles K. Henry & Son, 250 Stark

FAT JOBS LEFT VACANT
MAYOR WILL XOT REPLACE DIS
CHARGED SLEUTHS.
Considers Staff Detective System Un
satisfactory and Will Delegate
Duties to Plain-Clothes Men.
In view of the "general worthlessness
of staff detectives," Mayor Lane says, he
has about made up his mind to instruct
Chief of Police Gritzmaeher to leave un
filled the vacancies left by the discharge
of the old detective force. Therefore, it
seems certain that there will be no New
Tear presents of fat jobs, at J115 a month,
to hungry officers now working as acting
detectives on patrolmen's salary of $100
a month.
It had been thought that Mayor Lane
and Chief Gritzmaeher would reorganize
the detective staff the first of the year,
but when the Mayor was asked about the
matter yesterday, he expressed himself
as being in considerable doubt as to the
advisability of such procedure. It seems
that the Mayor has but little confidence
In the efficacy of the average detective,
and he also nolds similar views regarding
their conduct after being 'classified as
staff sleuths.
While an officer Is working as acting
detective, the Mayor holds, such officer
will work hard and will obey the pre
scribed rules. Once placed on the classi
fied civil service roll as detectives, they
become lazy and defiant, thinks Mayor
Lane, as the civil service makes it then
impossible to reduce them to the ranks
without written charges. As matters now
stand, any of the plain-clothes men can
be detached and sent out on a beat with
out being given any explanation what
ever. This being a pretty good plan, ac
cording to the Mayor, he rather inclines
at present to a continuation of the policy.
From the standpoint of the acting-detectives,
however, there is another side.
They believe that if they perform the
work assigned them as well as the
former detectives, they should be paid
the higher salary. They figure that there
Is no encouragement In glory alone, and
would like to see some of the yellow
metal coming their way as a reward for
what they. declare is faithful service to
the city. Therefore, they are disappointed
at the view taken by Mayor Lane.
