REALTORS MEET FRIDAY
PLANS TO ATTEND SPOKANE
feKSSION TO BE DISCUSSED.
Orcates't Land Boom in History of
Pacific Northwest Is Seen

A special luncheon-Aieeting of the
Portland Realty Board will be held
at the Portland hinel next Friday.
A full attendance of the membership

In the Falls City July 15, 16 and 17.
The Portland Realty Board is spon
soring this excursion and it Intends
to Include in the party the live wires
Of the land business from Oregon
and southwestern Washington. In
the opinion of the leaders In the
business, the racli'ic coast Is just
entering upon the greatest land move
ment in its history, in which many
new people will be attracted to Ore-
gon and Washington and all of the
Pacific northwest, providing the peo
ple can keep their feet on the ground
and not boost prices.
It Is apparent that the time for
extensive immigration to this section
is at hand. The Portland board also
has enlisted the aid of Portlanders
to make the party the best that has
ever gone out o fthe city to a con
vention of the realty dealers.

SWIXJOX DISTRICT GROWING
Sixteen. Lots Are Sold and Owners
Are Starting to Build.
The Johnson-Dodson ( company re
ports lively interest by home build
ers In the Swinton district, which ex
tends through from just north of
Peninsula park to Columbia slough,
and by reason of its convenience for
workers in the industrial districts of
both the North Portland and St.
Johns districts is attracting many
people.
Sales of 16 lots have been made
within a short time, a majority of the
purchasers ha-ing started building
operations on their property. The firm
also reports activity in the Principle
addition, which is also near Peninsula
park.
CAR JAM HALTS BUILDING
TRANSPORTATION SNARL OFF
SETS LABOR ADVANTAGE.
Resumption of Construction Not
Likely Until Supplies Can
Be Restored.
Commenting on the building situa
tion, S. W. Straus of S. W. Straus &
Co.. 150 Broadway, New York, says:
"Lack of transportation facilities,
freight embargoes and the car short
age comprise the principal deterring
influences in the building situation
in the country at present. Builders
and architects generally are able to
find labor to do the work and they
are able to purchase a reasonable
amount of material, but they find
themselves seriously handicapped in
transporting materials from the
plants or yards of the manufacturer
to the site of the operation.
"A tremendous congestion of
freight is reported along all import
ant transportation lines, which it
will take some weeks at least under
the most favorable circumstances to
clear up. Moreover, there is no im
mediate likelihood of relief for the
car" shortage as the depleted supply
cannot be quickly restored. In addi
tion, there is an urgent need for more
cars for the transportation of food
stuffs and we will soon be in the
midst of the crop moving season.
Midsummer Is upon us, and, with all
the adverse factors referred to, one
cannot feel that the present building
season will witness any great reduc
tion in the housing shortage of the
country as a result of a slowing up
process which has been brought about
through factors entirely foreign to
the building industry.
"The demand for new buildings
continues unabated In all parts of
the country, but the building Industry
Is proceeding at such a pronounced
disadvantage that it is to be doubted
if present activities are of sufficient
magnitude to prevent an ever increas
ing deficit in housing facilities."
REALTORS STUDVLICENSE LAW
Portlanders and Interstate Associa
tion Favor Tightening Up Statute.
At a meeting held last Wednesday
the state license law committee of the
Portland Realty board and a like com-,
mitlee of the Interstate Realty asso
ciation discussed the proposed amend
ments to the Oregon law that will be
submitted to the next legislature and
also the form of the proposed laws to
bo introduced before the legislative
branches of the state governments of
the other northwest states.
California, Michigan and Wisconsin
have laws licensing real estate deal
era and in some of the states the
laws are more drastic, than in Oregon.
The realtors are favorable to making
the statute more stringent in this
state and will use every effort to
make the new laws in other states
such as will afford a full measure of
protection against the irresponsible
dealers.
The members of the committee from
outside points who participated in
the conference were: J. M. Hawkins,
Albany; B. A. Peterson, Eugene; F. T.
Hurlburt, Condon: Charles Neimyer,
Salem; J. M. Dressier, Medford; J. S.
Kaufman, Marshfleld; E. A. Kirken

land realtors who attended were W.
W. Metzger, A. R. Ritter, Fred W.
German. Paul Cowglll, W. B. Shively
and Fred O. Brockman.
KELSO FACES LITIGATION
City Restrained From Having Im
provement Work Done.
KALAMA, Wash., July 3. (Special.)
The case of Julia Price et al. vs. the
City o Kelso will be tried at the next

council had entered into a contract
for the improvements and the con
tractor had completed a large portion
of the work.

torneys of Kalama to bring the mat
ter into court. They, alleged Kelso
had not complied with the require
ments of the law and let the contract
bf-fore the ordinance creating the im
provement district was legally pub
lished, and also alleged defects in
the publication of the ordinance.
The matter came up before Judge
Darch at the last term of court and
hrt issued a temporary restraining

matter under advisement. He now
has continued the injunction and the
contractor is restrained from proceed
ing with the work until the matter

the existence of a second mortgage,
a mechanic's lien, judgment or other
intervening lien, which, by virtue of
the cancellation of the old mortgage,
apparently becomes a first lien on the
premises, what right does the first
luortgage holder have to be protected
against the holder of the second
mortgage or other Intervening lien?
This question has frequently arisen
in this state, and in all the decisions
it has been held that under the above
circumstances, unless the rights of
innocent third parties will be preju
diced, the courts will restore the lien
of the original mortgage to its origi
nal priority.
In- the case of Chase vs. McXenzie,
81 Or.', .429; 169 Pat. 1025. our su
preme court said." "The rule is set
tled in Oregon that, when the holder
of a realty mortgage cancel? it In
ignorance of the existence of an in
termedial lien upon the premises.
though the charge thus imposed upon
the land is of record, a court of
equity in a suit instituted for that
iirpose will, in the absence of inter
vening rights, restore the original
lien and give it priority."
Salt to C'nnrel Started.
An instance of the application of
this rule is found in the case of Kern
vs. Hotallng, 27 Or., 205; 40 Pac.. 168.
In that case Kern held a mortgage on
premises belonging to Sperling. Sub
sequent to the date of this mortgage
Sperling executed another mortgage
to Hotallng. Kern was ignorant of
the existence of Hotaling's mort
gage. Some time later Sperling, hav
ing been unable to pay Kern the
amount of his mortgage, the latter
insisted upon a new note and mort
gage for the exact amount due at the
time the new note was givtfn. The
old note was surrendered and the
old mortgage canceled, a new mort
gage being taken and recorded in its
stead.
The cancellation of Kern's first
mortgage rendered Hotaling's mort
gage, so far as the records were con
cerned, a first Hen on the premises.
Later Kern discovered the existence
of the Hotallng mortgage. He then
endeavored to obtain a settlement
with Hotaling, who refused to relin
quish the advantage he thought he
had gained by Kern's error. Kern
brought suit to have the cancellation
of his old mortgage set aside and
revoked upon the ground that it was
made through inadvertence and mis
take: also to have the old mortgage
reinstated and the same foreclosed.

ARCHITECT'S DRAWING OF PROPOSED THREE-STORY
Elks ' of Lewiston, Idaho. have
raised sufficient funds to begin con
struction on their new temple, which,
when completed will be one of the
finest in the northwest. Plans of
the structure, which have been re
cently finished by the architects, call
for a fireprof building of t ree stor1
les and basement. The first draw
ings have been approved by the lodge
and erection of the new temple will
entail an expenditure of $20,000.
According to the plan, there will be
a-large lounging- room on- the first
and declared a lien prior to the Ho
taling mortgage.
In passing upon the case the su
preme court .said: "When a new
mortgage Is substituted in ignorance
of an intervening lien, the mortgage
released through mistake may fce re
stored in equity and given its original
priority as a lien. . . . In such a
case a court of equity will look
through the form to the substance
and keep alive the original security,
if it can be done without injury to
third parties. No rule is better set
tled than that if the holder of a
mortgage take a new mortgage as a
substitute for a former one- and can
cel and release the latter. In ignor
ance of tne existence of an interven
ing lien upon the mortgaged prem
ises, although such lien be of record,
equity will, in the absence of the in
tervening rights of third parties, re
store the lien of the first mortgage
and give it its original priority.
Note Not Payment.
"It is also settled that the accept
ance of a note' is not payment of an
account, nor Is the acceptance of one
note in renewal of another payment
thereof. unless it is so expressly
agreed between the parties. And
nothing short of actual payment of
the debt of an express release will
operate to discharge the mortgage.
A lien ' discharged by mistake
is in contemplation of equity still In
existence, and the A. P. Hotalinj
company has acquired no additional
OF NEW PLANT AMERICAN CAN
equity In reliance upon the mistake
of plaintiff."
In the case of Title Guarantee com
pany vs. Wrenn, 35 Or., 62; 56 Pac.
271. the supreme court held that "a
renewal note and mortgage given In
good faith before the filing of inter
vening mechanics' liens against the
property, and without knowledge of
such liens, or of the right to such
liens, occupy the same place, so far
as priority over the liens are con
cerned, as the original note and
mortgage."
n the case of Capital Lumber com
pany vs. uyan, 34 Or.. 73; 54 Pac,
1093, the court applied the same rule
and restored the lien of ao original
mortgage as against a mechanics'
lien which had intervened between
the date of the original mortgage and
the recording of a second mortgage
taken in lieu thereof. .In this case
the court said that equity will re
store the original mortgage to its
"former pn'"'- "-hen it can be done
ithout interfering with any new
rights acqu..eu uu the faith of the
altered condition of the record."
It is necessary, however, that one
seeking to have a lien restored must
show that at the time of the can
cellation of his original mortgage he
did not know of the intervening lien.
"This," said' our supreme court In
Talbot vs. Garretson. 31 Or.. 256; 49
Pac, 97S, "is so elementary that Its
mere statement is sufficient. Mani
festly a mortgagee who. with com
plete knowledge of the existence of
another lien on the mortgaged prem
ises, deliberately cancels and releases
his security cannot subsequently ask
a court of equity to restore him to
his original priority."

When Fred E. Taylor, Portland real
tor, appeared as the honor guest be
fore the members' forum in the main
dining room of the Chamber of Com
merce last Monday noon he was
greeted with the applause and cheers
COMPANY ON WHICH CONSTRUCTION WORK IS UNDER WAY.
of approximately 000 members of the
Portland chamber and the Portland
Ri-alty Board, who had gathered to
congratulate him upon his election
as president of the National Associa
tion of Real Estate Boards.
Before introducing Mr. Taylor with
a fitting tribute. Frank McCrillis,
chairman of the meeting, read the fol
lowing telegram from Tom S. Inger
soll at Minneapolis, for the past eight
years secretary of the National Realty
association:
"By complimenting Fred Taylor
your chamber recognizes a real man,
who has won the love of all realtors
and who has been chosen for national
president, the greatest honor in real
tordom. Doing .something for the
other fellow unselfishly should be his
motto. He Is a splendid citizen of a
fine city."
Mr. Ififlrernoll In Delayed.
Mr. Ingersoll, who will spend the
next month or six weeks in Portland,
expected to be here In time for the
Monday luncheon meeting, ,but his
arrival was delayed until Thursday on
account of inability to make railroad
connections.
In a short, forceful address of re
sponse, Mr. Taylor modestly gave his
fellow-realtors of the Pacific north
west and other western districts
credit for his election to the presl-
dency and made It plain that he did!
not Interpret it as a personal honor
but rather as a recognition of the
high standards maintained by the
lealty profession in Portland and the
Pacific northwest.
Mr. Taylor remarked that the real
estate business only a few years ago
was generally considered as a game
rather than a profession and that real
estate men were not regarded as
highly as they are today, when,
thanks to the code of ethics of the
national association, which has been
drilled into realtors largely through
the efforts of the local boards, the
real estate man is recognized as a
constructive force in wholesome com
munity and state development and the
realty profession is on a plane sec
ond to none.
Orefcon Biases "Way.
"The state of Oregon,' at the insis
tent suggestion of Portland realtors,
was one of the first commonwealths
to enact a license law governing the
conduct of real-estate men and pro
viding a penalty for unscrupulous
manipulations," said Mr. Taylor.
"Like every other profession, the
realty business is occasionally cursed

with a 'bad egg' here and there, but
the realty men themselves are doing
more than any other class of society
ti rid their profession of undesira
bles "In the east the word 'realtor.' which
rightfully can be applied only to a
member of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards, has a much
deeper meaning than in the western
states. The realtor is respected more
and more because the men of affairs
know tha dishonest brokers are not
tolerated In the national association.
"While attending the republican na
tional convention in Chicago I was
privileged to meet most of the lead
ing candidates for president and I
was gratified to observe their high
regard for the realty profession. The
nominee. Senator Harding, displayed
a keen interest In the national asso
ciation and showed p.ainly that he
knew well the true meaning of the
word realtor."
Taylor to Serve City Also.
Mr. Taylor admitted that acceptance
of the presidency will Invlove a tre
mendous sacrifice of time and effort
on his part. However, he said that he
welcomed the opportunity to serve
his profession through the national
association, for in doing so he said
he knew he would be in a position as
never before to serve the city and
state he has chosen as his permanent
home.
"During the past decade it has been
my good for-.une to participate In a
considerable proportion of the large
transactions in downtown realty."
continued Mr. Taylor. "But this year
I hope to close the biggest deal on
record. I hope to sell the entire city
of Portland, the entire state of Ore
gon, the whole Pacific northwest, if
you please, to the realtors and bis
men of the east, whom I will meet
constantly in mjr travels over the
country.
"Frank Branch Riley has without
question sold the scenery of the Pa
cific northwest to the east. The good
people of Portland have just per
formed a wonderful work in selling
Oregon hospitality in that fine body
of men banded together in the Mystic
Shrine. As president of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards I
shall endeavor to follow up this good
work and shall never overlook an op
portunity to sing the praises of the
northwest as an Investment field of
fering rich reward,s."
Year's Plan Are Reviewed.
Mr. Taylor reviewed briefly the
constructive work which he is plan
ning for the national association dur
ing the coming year and dwelt par
ticularly on the subjects of legisla
tion and taxation. He mentioned
also the association committees on
city planning, the "own-your-own-home"
movement and the committee
on sate license laws. A newly ere
ated publicity bureau, he said, will
endeavor to protect the public against
the passage of freak legislation af
fecting real property and to wage a
campaign for equalization of taxes
so that real property will not con
tinue to bear the burden of from 85
to 90 per cent of all taxation.
In closing, Mr. Taylor spoke of
what he termed a new spirit of unity
and co-operation in Portland. He
complimented the Portland Chamber
of Commerce upon Its share In forg
ing the City of Roses to the front
aj one of the foremost cities of the
west and called upon the business
men of-Portland to accord the cham
ber officials the fullest possible
measure of support and co-operation.
His plea for a stronger chamber
and a united Portland struck such a
responsive chord that his remarks
brought cheers and afterward Charles
F. Berg, chairman of the members'
forum, called upon A. J. Bale, vice
chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce, who thanked Mr. Taylor heart
ily for his comment and supplemented
his remarks relative to the new
"Portland spirit." .

Illinois Man Plans to Form Com
. pany to Clear Wooded Sec
tions, Sell Timber.
MORTON. Wash., July 3. (Special.)
W. A. Wlnans. who has been in Ta
coma for the past three weeks, com
ing to the Pacific coast from Illinois,
where he followed railroading, while
In Morton Sunday and Monday, dem
onstrated the old Idea that it often
takes a stranger to 5ee possibilities
In a country wnere old-time residents
have failed to appreciate them.
Mr. Winans spent some time look
ing over the territory in and about
Morton and was much impressed by
the nature of the country. What ap
pealed to him, outside of the wonder
ful fertility of the land, was the pos
sibilities of putting many acres un
der cultivation which are now un
cleared. His idea was the formation
or incorporation of a land-clearing
company. He stated, in fact, that he
intended going into the matter thor
oughly to see just what could be done.
Mr. Wlnans will be back here some
time next week, when he wants to
meet as many land owners as possi
ble who have uncleared land, to get
their opinions. His plan is to start
with one . outfit and gradually en
large it until he could take care of
several projects of clearing at the
same time.
He would utilize a caterpillar trac
tor of the size used in the war to
haul the large guns. In addition, he
would assemble two gasoline saws,
a drag saw and a circular saw. The
J former he would use to cut up the
large trees and the latter the smaller
trees, making fuel of the timber
growth not suiatble for other pur
poses. He would salvage all the piling,
poles, cedar posts, etc., which are now
doing no one any good, simply rot
ting on the ground. What could not
be put to commercial use would be
collected by means of the tractor and
burned. He would use the tractor in
preference to a donkey engine, be
cause the former could do practicallv I
anything the latter could do and do it '
much more quickly. I

NEW WEALTH I'l CEDAR
GROWING DKM.VND BRINGS
RICHES TO 2 COUNTIES.
One Shipment From Coos Bay Sells
Tor $250 Per Thousand; Japan
Is Buying Heavily.
MARSHFIELD, Or., July 3. (Spe

grown constantly and In such volume
that contracts are being made here
for its delivery for five years in ad
vance, and new bidders are entering
the field with such regularity th
price Is being advanced materially.

ment from Coos Bay which brought
$250 a thousand on the mill's dock.

big shipping firms, the Pacific Ex
port company of San Francisco, and
the International Lumber Export
company of Seattle, claim to have es
tablished the great demand for this
lumber in Japan, where it Is used in
the making of toys and for interior
house finishings.
Illustrating the utility of the lum
ber and the sudden call for it. the
number of camps now engaged in its
cutting and delivery is an example of
an '.ndustry that is seemingly per
manent. Hockett and Coats are mak
ing deliveries from 45 localities,
where forces are employed ranging
from a few men to 15 or 20. The
company payroll runs close to $40,000
a month.
