' Beaoeas foe ew Big Seals. , '': One -of thk beat-known "Operators In the city, a man who had been making some heavy deals, one notable one with in the past month, in speaking of the absence of big deals said the ether day; "There are three reaaona for the ab sence of sales Involving IIO.OOO" and up ward. The first of these is the ab sence 'of outside capital.. Here la Port land we have been practically trading, among ourselves, with now and, then, - f sfjlgff W" mm K4Ki4- New Homt of Charles i ' f as outside - purchase, but you might say that It has been borne trade. ' To give's big awakening It is . necessary ;to bare eutalde capital, and from the inquiries 1 know quite a lot of It will ike used this fall in Portland. Aaother reason for the lack of deals Is the conservatism of tha banks. Whan . the San Francisco fitsaater occurred ,the . banks naturally .became more conaerva "ttve,'aa particularly regarding loans ..en realty, and they have not forsaken their position as jret. but I expeot te see a loosening up of the banks during the fail, v If they are willing to advanoe fair, smounts on realty there wilt be rail goed-sised deals, for I know of a a ember of, men who are anxious to se euro property at current prices If they euld make satisfactory financial ar Tangcments erith the banks - rvThe third reason, and probably the impertan,- Is that people who own in ins .or downtown property are urv- illlosVJe "part. wUh It.

These people wlU not sell rent or Improve and the result Is that the property they control , will stand Idle.

He called particular attention te the site of the re cent firs .. on Washington street near Eleventh. " ' Here one building was de stroyed and the walls of the adjoining property practically deatroyed,-yet work men, today, .see repairing this frame structure. - L .

"Many times when' fires have occurred In frame structure la the business sec tion I have thought thai the firemen did their work too. well and 1 believe many cltlsena share my opinion, at least those who want te see Portland Im proved. If the firemen do savs a rem nant of the building, the first thing the owner does is to apply for a permit to repair and It is granted. - -"If any building within the fire limlte Is damaged badly as that place on Waahlngton street, - or those recently damaged In the north end, the building inspector Instead of allowing the restor ation of these f lretraps ahould order them pulled down. - All these damaged E. Brown on Weidler Street Near buildings should be condemned and 1 hops to see the day when Portland will have a building Inspector who will have the nerve to order such damaged build Ing torn down and at the sams time will go around the city sad see eome of the other unsafe places and condemn them. Such a building inspector can be the .greatest factor In the building ef a modern dty ::..t ..w...,.. With the coming opening of the fall trading In realty the progress made so far this year Is of Interest, for It tn d testes that 10 will be the greatest year In the history of Portland in real estate transactions and building ac tivity. Ever since 1(00 the volume of money Involved In realty deals has been steadily Increasing. . Six years age ths total amount Involved In- real estate deala was about three and one half mtUtona, and from" that It hae increased until laat year the recorded deeds showed that l$.ll.ll were Involved. How much greater ;will be the amount thle year cannot be conjecture Up to July tl deeds representing tll.tlOtl had been- recorded and during August 11.444.10$ M the amount, thus mak ing the total for the eight .months of 10 I14.40A.7II, r within less than $1,000,000 1 of the total for 'the entire year of ltot. What the four remaining months -of this year -will bring -forth cannot be told. ' The last four months of l0i showed ever 7,004,000 in trans fers, and If 10 equals this, snd on dosbtediy It will aot only equal this, but exoeed it, the total traaafers for 100$ will run something ever $10,000, 000; In fact, some operators expect It will be nearer ItlOO.OOO . than $20,000,000. ' . .'. - The building record Is ss' gratifying as that made by the transfers of prop erty. : la the month Just passed the value ef the permits seaebaA total of aspens, it'iieeyaitw---? . n ssi -.-- t ": F- -ti.. ef,"- .;. ft , 1asJ-.--.r magna 4tnS&rm :-. $717,041. or nearly IfOO.OOff more than the recorde ehow for the corresponding month a year ago, and Juat a shade un der that of last month. For the eight months of It Ot the amount represented by the permits Issued is (4,(11.131, or nearly $600,000 more than the total ' amount - represented by the permlte Issued for- the. entire year of 10J, for In that year the official figures show that the totaj .value rep resented by permits was only $4,181. Having already far passed the record for 105 this year still has four months. ' In these four coming months it Is pretty safe to ear that the build' tag -permits' wlir total several minions, for there are yet ettll some large build ings under construction for which per mits have not yet been secured. .

They agree, too, that the. moot significant sign ot the peat year. has been the unerring trend of labor, toward Independent political no tion. . The labor movement la looked upon as aa evolution, beginning flret as a con troversy between Individual boss and workman, extending to groups of work men and groups of bosses. - Seeing their finish ttnleeo they oan eeoure political power, the unions begin by humbly pe tltlqnlng, then demanding, and finally organising a eeparate political party to carry out their program. This separate political party, local la nor leaaere Be lieve, will be the ultimate form of ac tion of ths labor movement . In looking over the labor situation. C.K. Oram, president of the Oregon Bute Federation of Labor, said: "The labor movement Is advancing an ths time.

As far as Independent political action la con cerned, whlla a sreet many cf ths rank snd Ills have been clamoring for years. ths majority have been opposed to it. not on account of not favoring political action, but because of a desire to keep the unlone out of politics The purpose of a labor. organisation is primarily to advance the wages and better the gen eral working conditions of Its members But unlone are and have always been a part of society and ee such have been entitled te consideration.
