12 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIANV TORTLAXD. nrTORER 5, 1919. L IMPACT REALTY SALE Agreement Must Be in Writ . ing, Says Oregon Law. WORK BEGINS ON GARAGE AND MOTOR CAR HEADQUARTERS TO COST $50,000. VOID ESCROW ACTION IS CITED Cae Pecidrd by Supreme Court of This Stale Shows I morta nee ol Follow Ing Law. BT W. B. SHIVELY. Chairman Legal Committee. Portland Realty Board. Where the owner of land orally agrees to sell the same and deposits a deed In cscrour to be deilverea upon payment of the agreed purchase price. may said owner withdraw ine a-ea from escrow and refuse to consum mate the transaction even though the purchaser may have paid a portion of the purchase price? This question waa decided In the af firmative by the Oregon supreme court In the case of Foulkes vs. Seng atacken. 3 Or.. 11S. 15S Pac. 952. 163 Pac. 311. In that case the facts were that the owner of the land or ally agreed to sell the same to the defendant. There waa no written con tract of any kind between them, but in accordance with the terms of the oral arrangement the purchaser paid the seller $300 on account if the pur chase price and the seller executed a deed and deposited the same In escrow with instructions to deliver the deed to the purchaser upon the payment of 11 000. payable in two annual pay ments of 1000 each. While the deed . . i j so lay In escrow, tne purcnaser pam the seller $J50 additional. The seller retained possession of the property at all times. Before the payments were completed, however, the seller died, leaving a will devising to Koulkea. the plaintiff, "all real estate which she should possess at the time of her death." Thereafter the pur chaser paid the balance of the pur chase price to the party holding the deed In escrow, whereupon the deed waa delivered to the purchaser and recorded. Salt to Caaeel riled. About three yeara later the plain tiff, who It will be remembered, suc ceeded to the land under the terms of the seller's will, filed suit to cancel the purchaser s deed, contending that the seller's deed waa void for the rea son that the death of the seller prior to the delivery of the deed rendered the deed null and void. In passing upon the question the supreme court based its decision upon the "statute of frauds" of thia state, which provide that a contract for the aale of real estate, unless in writ ing, la abaolutely void. The court held that an escrow "presupposes the existence of a valtd contract." "There must be." said the court, "an actual contract of sale on the one side and of purchase on the other and until there la such a contract the Instru ment executed by the proposed grant or, triough In fornv a deed, ia neither a deed nor an escrow." Now the only writing In the case was the deed deposited by the seller, but this deed, the court held, was not sufficient under the statute of frauds for the reason that it did not contain all the terms of the vernal agreement between the seller and purchaser, and the court held that since there waa no valid, binding and enforceable agree ment to sell the land and not a suffi cient part performance of the oral contract on the part of the purchaser to avoid the effect or the statute of frauds, there was not. technically peaking, an escrow; that therefore ih Henuiiit of the deed bv the aeller was in contemplation of the law1 merely a voluntary act of the seller which amounted to nothing more than a continuing offer which might have been withdrawn by seller at any time, and which offer necessarily termin ated with the death of the seller. And. the court held that the death of the seller at once produced the death of the deed and that no subsequent act of the purchaser could "resurrect the w riting and make it a living deed." Deed Is Deelared Void. It waa therefore held by the court that the plaintiff waa entitled to a decree canceling the purchaser's deed, but that the purchaser should have a lien upon the land for the repayment of the amount paid by him under the terms of the oral contract. In its conclusion the court said: "This con troversy presents some features which naturally appeal to the sympathy of a chancellor and yet courts cannot de clare that contracts are valid when the atatute law is positive and un equivocal terms pronounces them in valid. As has been aptly aaid. 'hard case are the quickeanda of the law.' In the long run it is better to follow the law and avoid the quicksands." It la to be noted that in the fore going case the court held the seller's deposit of the deed to be a mere offer to sell, a "continuing offer." which necessarily terminated with the sell era death. .If the deposit of the deed waa a mere offer tt would follow, even though the seller had not died, that ah might have withdrawn the deed at any time during her lifetime prior to the actual delivery of the deed, notwithatanding that the pur chaser had paid or offered to pay the full purchase price: it would alao fol low that If ahe had ao withdrawn the offer, the purchaser, having no valid contract capable of legal enforcement, would have been unable to compel her to convey the land. The caae above cited teaches this: thst not withstanding the parties to the sale of realty attempt to place their deeds and papers in escrow, either party may withdraw at any time unless the agreement U reduced to writing In the shape of a valid enforceable agreement.

EBESHAM REALTY MOVES IJKRKY XD POULTRY INDUS TRIES FLOURISHING. .Numerous Salrs of Farm and Resi dential Property Closed Dur ing Past Week. Farm and residential property in the Gresham section la beginning to show vigorous movement and a num ber of Important sale have been made during the past wee, while oth era are in prospect, according to Messrs. Krider and Elkington of the Gresham Real Estate company. The movement In real estate Is attributed largely to the success of the berry and poultry industry which has at tracted the attention of outside peo ple. The following sales have been re ported from Gresham: The C. A. Johnson farm near Kelso, consisting of 50 acres of farm land with equipment, to William Jocelyn of Portland, for $10,000. Karol Shulxe to John Cunningham. 21 acres of unimproved land near llogan station, for $2800. William Mueller to P. A. Ledine, 20 acre farm near Haley station for $6000. Gerald A. Miles to Sherman Lyons. 10-acre home one mile east of Gresh am. for 15100. Emanuel Anderson to Michael J. Byrne. -acre home In Gresham, for lottuo. V. 8. Griffith to Henry Bruengel. 27-acre farm at Cottrell. $6809. G. W. Kenney to G. S. Vedder. 20 acres unimproved land near Lusted school, for $2000. Mary A. Stubba to Fred Southard. 14 acres north of Gresham high school, for $7500. I A considerable movement of rest- j dentlal property in Gresham is also reported. A considerable number of the purchases both of farm and resi dential property are newcomers from the east and middle west who have decided to make their home in Oregn. that the industry Is in the main in a fairly healthy condition. Strikes have acted as a atrons de terrent to construction during the past month, and many buildings have been held up. The labor situation, even more than the higher level of material prices, has been a disturb ing Influence in the trade, especially In cities where the unions has broken their contracts, as did the Painters' union in New York. Breaches of faith such aa this cause builders to hesitate to accept contracts on the usual lump sum basts, preferring the cost-plus-percentage or cost-plus-a-fixed-fee as being safer. Costs have increased very appre ciably since the first of the year, due to increases in wages and materials. There haa been much talk of profi teering by material manufacturers and dealers, but so far no proof has been advanced of any concerted effort to advance prices. A commlssioin ap pointed by the state of Illinois re cently investigated material prices in that state: it found satisfactory evi dence that prevailing prices were justifiable under present economic conditions. The present high prices ill remain either until there is a decided lowering in the general scale of labor, or until more economical methods of construction are evolved. diaries McGonigle Buys Home. .

New buildings going up in Port land are being rented before they are little more than started, and fre quently all the floor space haa been contracted for before ground is broken for the structure, so great Is the demand for store space In Port land, real estate and building firms leport. Work waa begun last week on two one-story store buildings on Broad way, being erected under the direc tion of the iletiper-l'arker. Fergu son company. Floor space of both structures had been put under lease before work, waa started, said W. W. Metsger. One of the structures Is going up at the corner of Sixth and Glisan streets at a cost of $30,000. This building will be one story In height and will be divided Into five store rooms and a garage. The other struc ture Is being erected at the corner of Broadway and Flanders at approxi mately $30,000. Tbis building will be used for store rooms entirely.

A healthy Increase in building throughout the United States is shown by figures compiled by Building Age New York City. New Tork. The esti mated value of permits granted dur ing August. 1919. in 168 cities totals Jie9.85S.91l. a gain of 274 per cent over the August. 1918, total ot $45,431,709. Again the activity is widespread. 155 cities reporting Increases as against 13 reporting losses. Southern cities report the largest gain, 445 per cent, with 37 out of 38 cities report ing increases. Eastern cities follow with 33S per cent. 55 out of 60 re porting gains. Middle ' state cities show a gain of 214 per cent. 41 out of "47 reporting increases; and west ern cities show 94 per cent gain, 22 out of 23 reporting increases. It Is significant that the volume of construction for which permits were granted during August, 1919, ia $27. 000.000 greater than for. July. 1919, when 174 cities reported, showing EFFICIENCY OF THE TRUCK Packard Company Puts Out Book- '. let of Information. Are motor trucks more efficient than horses? Shall I buy or rent trucka? How much wfll it cost to operate a truck? What can I do with my trucks in the winter time to keep down my overhead? These are a few of the questions answered in the Contractor, a new publication Just issued by the Pack ard Motor Car company. The new book tells what the . Packard com pany's transportation engineers and a number of contractors have found out about the average contractor's transportation needs. Twelve ques tions that arise in every contractor's experience are taken up nd answered in detail. Profuse illustrations. tables of weight and measures and examples of cost-keeping records supplement the Information contained in the an swers to the problems stated. Much of the data published was gathered by the transportation en gineering department of the Packard Motor Car company of New York,, and is particularly applicable to contrac tors In the metropolitan district. This la one of the first "textbooks" on transportation as applied to the, con tracting business, and already there has been a wide demand for it. Copies of the Contractor will be mailed free to contractors who are Interested in receiving it. Men Tired of Strikes and Generally Unstable Conditions In Cities Turning to Country. ALBANY. Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) Will continuous strikes and labor troubles fomented by foreign agita tors In the unions furnish the mo tive for a "back to the land" move ment which it has been contended is needed in this country? That they will is indicated by the Increasing demand from residents of larger cities for small fruit and gar den tracts in the Willamette valley. A typical case is that of a Seattle man who bought a small tract near Albany last week. He said he had endured labor troubles as long as he could: that the foreign element was dominating the labor unions of Seattle and that the unions there are running the business of that city. He decided to seek independence and peace on a small farm. He chose tnis vicinity because of the big can- j nery here, which assures him a mar ket for the small fruit he expects to raise. This man says that many people, tired of the continuous strikes and interference with their work by la bor unions dominated by foreigners, are seeking new locations. They are not farmers and cannot take up gen et al farm work, but since many towns in Oregon and Washington now have canneries they expect to try raising small fruits.. He pre dicted an exodus from Seattle be cause of the radicalism permeating tl e labor unions there. Conditions here indicate already that this man's forecast is correct. One trac Two Business Blocks at Walla Walla Being Erected on Cost Plus Basis. Real estate is rapidly picking up through the Inland Empire, according to Paul A. Cowgill, executive secre tary of the Interstate Realty associa tion, who returned last week from a two-weeks' trip to the Walla Walla and Yakima valleys. The fruit and grain crops are abundant and both valleys are in the midst of a period of unusual prosperity, he reported. At vv.alla Walla a realty board waa formed, patterned after the associa tion In this city. A meeting was held at the Walla Walla Commercial club at whic,h Mr. Cowgill spoke, and the formation of tne realty board ioi- lowed. The real estate dealers at Yakima have not yet organized a. board, but Mr. Cowgill expects to re turn within a short time and aid them in forming an association. "Real estate activities are booming in both sections," said Mr. Cowgill. "Prices are stiffening a little as the demand increases. I found that houses are in great demand in practically all the towns throughout that section, even the smaller places. I had had an idea that the house shortage was lim ited to coast cities, but found the sit uation just as tight in Yakima and Walla Walla as here. "I attribute the shortage of living accommodations to the fact that there has been practically no building dur ing the past five years on account of the war, and at present building is restricted because of high cost of ma terial and high wages. In Walla Walla I was interested in learning that two brick business blocks now going up are being built on 'the 'cost plus' basis, contractors refusing . to make definite bids because of the in creasing building expenses. During his trip Mr. Cowgill visited Toppenish. Mabton, Prosser, Pasco and Kennewick, In addition to Walla Walla and Yakima. Real estate deal ers in all these sections are beginning to feel the stirrings of a period of increased real estate activity which ia thought to be coming on, he said. . The Interstate Realty association recently adopted a policy of taking in property owners as associate mem bers, and expects to begin a campaign shortly to reorganize taxation in a way which, the organization claims. will be more equitable to land. At present officials of the realty associa tion contend 85 per cent of the taxa tion of the country is upon land, which represents less than one-half of the wM4ith. T. D. Rockwell, for mer tax commissioner of Washington, is preparing a series of articles upon the subject which will be presented to the members of the association through its official monthly publication. a rcw 'nnn modkl, for ?rrr vV-'sv-.?' ttZtt-p-' aj.'-t"--' .

It is possible to make a socket wrench by placing a bolt head of the proper size in one end of a pipe and then forging the pipe to fit it. After the wrench has been made it can be annealed, if desired, to give it lasting qualities. A hole is, of course, bored in the opposite end to take a cross piece and complete the tool. SHOE- STORE GETS LEASE Aggregate Rental in $ 1 0-Year Pe riod to Be $213,707. A ten-year lease on the basement ajid ground floor of the building at the northwest corner of Fourth and Alder streets, owned by the Alder In vestment company, has been taken by Wright's Sample Shoe- store. The aggregate rental will be $213,707. The building has a frontage of 100 feet on Fourth street and 100 feet on Alder. Possession of the corner room on the ground floor. 40 by 60 feet, will be retained by Phegley & Cavender and the Alder hotel will conUnue to occupy the upper stories of the five story building. Other tenants of the building will be compelled to seek new quarters, in fitting tne build ing for the use of the shoe store al terations estimated at $20,000 will be made. Old Landmark Being Torn Down With the tearing down of the wooden building at No. 34S Stark street, between Broadway and Park, begun last week, goes one of the landmarks of that section. The build-. ing had long been the home and gro cery store of Mr. and Mrs. Philip J. Kerrigan, and stood next to the old home of Ben Holladay, remembered aa one of the prominent politicians of Oregon in his time. Mr. and Mrs. Ker rigan are the parents of Herbert W. Kerrigan, one of the recent football stars for the Multnomah club. NEW .CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH BEING ERECTED AT FOREST GROVE. KEROSENE FOR AUTOS Many of Present-Day Cars Can Use Coal Oil Mixture. There are thousands of cars at pres ent in use which can, with a convenience, use a mixture of kero sene and gasoline or even kerosene alone. The carburetion systems of modern cars are designed to handle a fairly poor grade of fuel, but owners are a little backward in experimenting:. An appreciable saving can be made by each owner if he will try a one gallon "mixture composed of one-half kerosene and one-half gasoline. Espe cially should this be done by owners who are not particular about abnor mal car performance. For ordinary running when little demand is made for quick acceleration, this mixture may prove satisfactory in a great many cases. Though motoring in this country Is comparatively cheap. owners can make It still cheaper if they will di rect their attention to two of . the important items of expense fuel and tires. Tires are higher in cost than once, but the average owner can make up for the extra cost by getting addi tional mileage. At the very first sign, plug the slightest tread cut. In flation should be given a great deal of attention, especially also since the heat of summer adds to the wear. Tou will be surprised at the better performance of the car after it has been lubricated at every moving surface. In magnificent mahogany.
