With clear, orlip weather all week
there wti to he noted much hustle and
action among realty brokera It waa
Just the right kind of weather to set
out and away from stuffy office. A
good, wholesome breath of air sweep
ing down from Mount Uocd and tem
pered to Just the right degree by the
an' ray proved to be the best kind
of bracer and tonic Result: several
bis; deals closed, many started; Invest
ors became Interested In propositions
which bad been pending- for several
weeks: desires were kindled In the
hearts of many persons to look for and
buy homes. Altogether It was a week
of enthusiasm and optimism among
buyers, seller and dealers.
There are some people who say that
business is not going to be very good
this year. They haven't any good rea
son for saying that. The fact Is, busi
ness conditions In Portland are ail right
and are getting better all the time. Sta
tistics for the month of January plainly
demonstrate the fact that all lines of
activity here are better than they were
a vear asro. Portland Is making a
healthy and steady growth and will
acquit Itself wtth a better record mis
year than ever before.
raadlrlesvs Are BatlafacvoTr.
The real estate situation Is most sat
isfactory. Since the first of th year
there have been some substantial deal
closed. There I plenty of money seek
ing Investment In downtown property
right now. The demand for residence
property, suburban acreage and farm
lands Is good. The Indications are that
th situation, on the whole, will grow
much stronger this Spring. The real
cause of the activity Is found In th
fact that people are coming to Oregon
In good numbers. They ar coming
from all parts of the United States.
They are seeking homes, farm lands on
which to settle and Portland Investment
opportunities.
There Is a most gratifying; feature of
the building situation, too. Th activ
ity la not confined to big business
structures. It is more pronounced In
the construction of homes- There has
never been a year open with so many
residences under way and planned.
Fully 75 per cent of th permits Issued
in January were for dwellings. Th
same ratio prevail so far this month.
New home ar going up In all part
of th city. In face of this big build
ing growth, it is unusual to find vacant
n.odera bouse anywhere. There I no
other city In th Northwest that can
make such a showing.
Th most Important sal closed cur

After studying- localities and prices
w decided to pay rent where w were,

$21 per month, excluains; Interest. W
felt confident It would Increase In

build we could sell profitably.
Everything went smoothly. W
sometimes mad a double payment In a
month, and when the total wa about
half paid we began to plan the house
wa might build there. The sooner the
lot was paid for, th sooner the home
could bo ours; so. we began to econo
mise moat systematically and persist

always hired the laundry done, had a
seamstress occasionally and went to
entertainments. For th sake of a new
home, I found I could manage all my

oompany had closed down all work.
After several week of unemployment,
work wa secured bnt at half the form
er salary and no better outlook until
th following Spring. '
We firmly put asid all visions of a
hous on th lot. for building restric
tions wart $3000. but w could not glv
up th Idea of a home. After serious
calculations. I found wa could not make
payments on th lot. pay rent and Ufa
Insurance premium, and live comfort
ably on the balance. Wa determined
on two things not to lose the lot, and
to eeoure a home.
I began to work through every pos
sible avenue, advertised and Interested
several real estate firms. After a time,
letters and telephone calls began com
ing In and I began spending carfare
and taking automobile rides. It is
easier to buy for cash, of course, than
to mak a trade, but now we had $850
to offer as first payment on a home
and I am sure we would not have had
ao much If wo had depended upon put
ting some In the bank each month.
One thing I quickly observed If an
owner were willing to take a trade at
all he would take our particular lot
without hesitation. Anyone who knew
the city, recognised the value, present
and future of the property. By that I
waa convinced of the wisdom of our in
vestment, and determined not to sacri
fice any on the price of th lot. v
Effort Ar Rewarded.
Many desirable places were offered
us but we could not handle the pay
ments, and I almost despaired finding
any place suited to our needs and
tastes and compatible with the present
financial outlook. It was a long tedi
ous hunt, but we wer rewarded at
last, by an attractive, five-room bunga
low, aeemlngly planned for our particu
lar family or four. After putting In
our lot, wa could make payments of
$20.50 a month. In contrast with a
former monthly expenditure of $36.60.
Moreover, the taxes would not exceed
taxes and Interest on the unimproved
lot. We believed that this property
also was so located as to materially
Increase In value. We moved Into our
new home, dolighted with It and with
the neighborhood.
We economised mora rigidly than
ever. We made old furniture do
where wa had always planned to have
new for a new home. Expensive pleas
ures were postponed; tha bread-winner
carried lunch instead of eating in res
taurants or at the fraternal table: T
bona steaks gave way to stews, yet we
were happy In It all. The deed made
out In my name compensated for tha
rigidly close bookkeeping.
In a few years we can sell at a
marked profit and buy or build another
home. It Is the surest way for a sal
aried man to meet the needs of his own
advancing years. My advice to young
people with tha comfortable salaries, is
to get out of tha apartments Into a
home but not to assume more than they
can be reasonably sure of meeting.

LUMBER III DEMAND!
With Better Prices Conserva
tive Policy Urged.
SHORT SHIFTS ADVISED
Coastwise and Foreign Trade for
1912 Will Bo Stronger Effect
of Curtailment of Output
Becoming Apparent.
Lumbermen generally are. of tha
opinion that better times are In store
for the mills. Better prices prevail
than obtained last Fall and the In
quiries for lumber are more general.
The export trade looks particularly
promising. Whether the Improved
conditions are really the result of more
genuine demand for lumber products
as a result of new business or whether
the present situation Is due to the cur
tailment of manufacturing and the
consequent reduction of stocks Is a
point not clearly settled- In the minds
of some of the millmen.
It Is agreed that over-production waa
the matn causd of the stagnant lumber
trade last year. Along towards the
closo of the year many of the large
mills In Western Washington and
Western Oregon closed down entirely,
while some continued to operate on
elght-bour shifts. The decision on the
part of the big mills was effective In
cutting down the ready supply of lum
ber products. It gave the retail yards
a chance to work oft much of their
surplus stocks. Tha effect of the cur
tailment Is row becoming apparent and
there seems to be a better demand for
lumber than has been experienced for
some time. The market In the Middle
West has Improved, coastwise business
Is picking up briskly, while the trade
with Australia and the Orient presents
a promising aspect.
Curtailment la Triced.
That the market could be stiffened
much more, to the advantage of the
Industry, there Is no question. It Is
pointed out by some of the mlllmen
that tha policy adopted last year of op
erating on a conservative basis and In
not resuming full capacity this year
would make It possible to keep tha
supply somewhere near the actual de
mand for lumber and the business
would be so regulated that It would
be placed again on a profitable basis.
There are several big operators, how
ever, who are not taking this view of
tha Situation and are making prepara
tions to open their mills with full ca
pacity In early Bprlng. This is said
to be true especially of Western Wash
ington mills and some of the larger
concerns of the Columbia River dis
trict. The mlllmen who take a more opti
mistic Tlew of the situation believe
they are Justified In turning out as
much lumber as possible while better
prices prevail. Some of these opera
tors have some substantial contracts to
All, and as the time of delivery is lim
ited, they are anxious to get the stuff
out as soon as possible, so that they
can take care of their usual run of
business.
Mercer Plana Under Way.
In regard to the proposed merger
of the tidewater mills of Oregon and
Washington no new developments have
been announced. Negotiations have
been started for tha acquisition of large
bodies of timber to supply the mills of
the proposed merger. When a suffi
cient amount of Umber holdings is
pledged it is expected that definite an
nouncements will be made relative to
the operating plans of the allied mills.
One of the most Important announce
ments relative to lumber operations
was made last week when the Wend
ling-Johnson Lumber Company, of San
Francisco, acquired 8000 acres of tim
ber land In Lane County. With this
purchase this company now owns about
800,000,000 feet of timber In that dis
trict. Tha company wjll build a mill
somewhere In the Siuslaw Valley, with
a capacity of about 260,000 feet of lum
ber every 24 hours. It Is said that
the plant will cost approximately
$1,000,000. The Eugene-Coos Bay
branch of the Southern Pacific will
pass through this big timber belt.
which will proviae direct transporta
tion facilities to the Coos Bay harbor.
The company will probably operate Its
own steamship lines between that har
bor and San Francisco.
CIVIC PLAN IS THEME

PORTAXOE OF WORK.
Greatness of Portland Depends on
Way Citizen Build for Future
Development.
That Portland's early development
was along th lines of least resistance
and there was no general planning for
the future growth and clvlo Improve
ment of the city was the essence of an
address given at tha Art Museum by
Architect Ellis F. Lawrence last week.
The speaker said that one of the most
serious mistakes was made in laying
out such narrow streets and that with
the great growth Portland is bound to
make within the next few years It
would be necessary to reconstruct a
part of tha street system.
Mr, Lawrence said that the flrst Im
portant step taken to make Portland a
great city was when a small coterie of
public-spirited cltixens banded to
gether to raise $20,000 to pay for the
Bennett plans for the City Beautiful.
He expressed the belief that It would
tak many years to make any substan
tial progress as outlined In the Ben
nett plans, but urged that plans for
future building should be made In ac
cordance with the clvlo development
Idea expressed by Mr. Bennett.
It was the conviction of the speaker
that the people of Portland would soon
learn the Importance of modern city
planning. If this Idea Is carried out
in future building operations and pub
U o works, he said that the community
will find Itself capable of accommo
dating J.000.000 people without causing
much congestion In any of th Impor
tant business districts.

ROADS TO BE ADORNED
TREE-PLAXTLNXJ DAT IS SET
FOR FEBRUARY 22.
Resident of Multnomah Station
Start Movement to Plant.
Firs Along; Highway.
A generation ago the district of
which Multnomah Station is now the
center- was heavily timbered. Along
came the axman and then the settler,
with the result that today this broad
level stretch of territory, while In a
high state of cultivation. Is almost en
tirely bereft of native trees.
Within the past 18 months there
have been many newcomers to take up
small tracts In that locality. In sub
dividing the land into country sites,
tha operators provided for numerous
driveways, so that every settler could
have direct access to tne main mur
oughfares. Since last Spring many
new homes have sprung up in that dis
trict, but scarcely any ornamental
trees ha-ve been planted.
With the rapid development of the
locality, the residents have found that
there Is Just one Important thing lack
ing that Is the native fir tree. So.
on Washington's birthday, February
22, about three dozen families of the
Immediate neighborhood will gather at
one of tha homes to participate In a
programme bearing on tree planting.
The gathering will be in the nature of
a picnics and after refreshments the
men will engage In planting trees
along the roadways.
Plans have been arranged for deliv
ering a big supply of fir trees. A. R.
Morgan one of the active residents of
the district, will be in charge of the
affair. He announces that many farm
ers and commuters have promised to
be on hand with lunch baskets filled
with edibles, shovels, picks, teams and
wagons. Other persons living In that
territory will be Invited to take part
In the tree-planting programme.
The Idea of planting ornamental
trees along the roads was suggested
by Mrs. C. L. Gardner last week at an
Informal meeting of women. From Mrs.
Gardner's suggestion the idea rapidly
grew into a strong sentiment for gen
eral tree-planting In the community.
By the time of the first big meeting
of residents It Is expected that every
family within a radius of two miles
of Multnomah Station will, have become
interested In the movement to Improve
the roadways with flrs and other orna
mental trees.
Church Is Bnlldine Manse.'
A seven-room manse Is being built
on the Inside lot at the southeast cor
ner of East Sixth and East Market
streets for the pastor of the First Eng
lish Evangelical Church, which stands
on the corner. Much of the work on
the building has been donated and
hence the structure will cost only
$2000.
Portlander to Raise Poultry.
L. L. Howe, of Portland, purchased
last week a 20-acr6 tract located four
miles east of Clackamas Station on
Clear Creek. The farm la well Im
proved and was acquired from Edward
Mendenhall for $4000. It Is Mr. Howe's
Intention to operate a modern poultry
farm. The sale was negotiated by E. J.

about ten first-class wide-awake
salesmen to help handle my busi
ness. My office is now enjoy

haven't enough men to handle

sale and from present indica
tions the sales this Spring are
going to be phenomenal, there
fore, I must be equipped to
handle it.
Here is my proposition: lib

and most talked-of proposition
in Portland to soil Eastmore
land, home of Eeed College,

but to live, wide-awake sales
men I can give a position that
is worth while.
Call at once on my salesman
