- Th. Portland Realty Board, tne new
Organization of the real estate dealers
of the city, met yesterday afternoon end
finished . adopting . the constitution and
by-laws. Nearly the entire afternoon
was devoted to discussing one article,
' and that article waa the most Important
of the entire constitution, for It eon-
- talned the provision-that will snake the
board a, power to do right lnm .stats
dealings. It' will be the strength of the
VA member were it first oppose to
Its provisions, they all soon came to see

how it works to their benefit.

f oroe-ii-tha-eemmunlty -and -touphold
'..the lights of the agents to oommlsslons
- ' and to prevent any misunderstandings
with property owners it was necessary
to adopt such a provision and it waa
done by an unanimous vote.
- The articles that required so much dls
- cusston -and consideration will regulate
all realty transactions and it also in
i braced the queatlon of dividing commis
sions. An the constitution now stands
no member of the board will accept for
ale a piece of property unless he Is
given an exclusive written contract that
he has the right to sell that property.
Theses contracts will be of one form,
( short, and no property owner can ob
ject to signing one. In fact, this ojues
" tion of giving an exclusive contract to
one agent will work to the benefit of the
property owner who desire to- sell his
holdings, t He can make a personal se
lection of an agent and can. give to him
the right to sell a piece of property for
any length of time. Such a contract will
coast,, the commissions were much in
excess of those paid In Portland. ' The
board also decided to advertise liberally
the objects of the organisation and par
ticularly the part relating to the han
dling of property, "-The provision rla

waa the final transfer of the Talbot

for farm properties and nearly every

relieve the property owner of tha trou
ble and annoyance of having any or
.very agent in town running after him.
It farther works to the benefit of the
property owner. In that when an owner
gives a contraot to one agent to. sell
' the property that will relieve him of aU
, question of a division of commission,
should such a question arise and It has
risen quite frequently In Portland re
cently. When that agent has a con
tract for Such a property he Is th. only
one allowed to Hat or advertise It for
kale. . If any other member of the board
had a prospective customer for that
property he does not have to bother the
-owner. ne atmpiy goes to tns agent
that has the contraot and between them
they make the sale and divide th. com
missions according to th. nil. of th.
board.
This Is th. main provision of tha eon
' stltutlon of the new organisation. It
puts every deal oh an absolutely busi
ness basis. It leaves no loop holes or a
chaaoe of misunderstanding, which fre
. quenUy ocours when verbal agreements
are made It-will glva the -property
owner an opportunity-of having the
services of every member of the board
In disposing of th. property, yet he will
fcav. to deal with only one agent; there
Tore, thus by simplifying matters. It
works to his benefit.'
There were other clauses adopted re
lating to th. m.thod of dividing com
missions, but these are of no Interest

question of commission one thing waa

Grlndstaft tt Schalk. who are alwaya
active factors la th. market, state they
have several deals under way which wUl
probably be announoed during the com
Ing .week. One transaction during the
paat week, which they closed yesterday,
was the sale of th. aouthweet comer of
Fifth and Main streets, containing some
old buildings. The property belonged
to IL M. Cake and it was purchased by
Ratta Bros..- for 111.000. It Is under
stood that It is th. intention of th. new
owner, to erect a aew and aubstanlal
building on th. site, on. probably com
bining stores and s pertinents.
One of the largest sales ot th. week
waa that made by Goldsmith at Co,
who aold two first atreet : properties,
owned by Henry Monnastes. - They were
purchased by local . capitalists, whoa,
names are withheld. One of these waa
a two-story brick on First atreet I
tweea Morrison - and TamhlU, which
brought 140.000 and the oth.r waa
four-story building at rirst and Clay
streets, which brought tto.000- These
are new figures for this section of the
city and have caused much talk during
tha past few-days; When tho-Xront
street railway la completed and in ooer
anon these properties will be In a vary
nice location for manufacturing plants.
Louis Salomon announced two inter
esting transfers yesterday. One of these
was th. southeast corner of Seventh and
Irving streets, owned . by th. Pacif Is
iranaier company ana wnicn was pur-
onaaed ay i. r. enorey for lii.000. Mr.
Baiomon also aold tha southeast corner
ot Front and Columbia atreeta, owned by
jonn wuas, to A. Mclster for til. 100.
xnis latter aai. maaes tne Third of a
good also that haa taken place In th.
faat week on er near th. proposed Front
atreet railway. ;;
The greatest advance any nrooertv
soia ounng - tne wees; snowed waa th.
transfer . of th. Union stockyards for
II 10,000. This was a property that
few years ago was hawked through the
market ana could rind no purchaser at
111.000, yet now It brings more than 10
times that amount Thar, have been
some startling advances In Portland
realty during th. paat year, but pos
sibly son. hav. show any such ad
vance as this an. piece. '
Th. United Cigar Stores company Is
apparently still In .th. field for leasee.
ror aunng toe week ta.y secured leas.
on th. Alisky building for 10 years at
what seems to many a vary good rent.
It Is still a pussllng question 'to real

trio chandelier, electric and gas supply
business. In addition to their aupply
business they maintain a fully .quipped
