It begins to take on very much the appearance of the ac tive days of one year ago, when the heaviest real estate trading In the his tory of Portland was at Its height ; It was just a year ago last week. When the $1,000,010 purchase on Second and Pine streets was made by the Port land Railway, Light St Power company, followed by heavy buys In the same district by the Metronnlita n AntnnAnv .While no such trnnsactlons as those vi me street railway company and the Metropolitan syndicate were had last week, yet there were deals of such magnitude as to show plainly that peo ple with money to Invent have every confidence In the stability of val ues here, and are reasonably cer tain that a handsome profit Will ac crue within the next year or two on an Investment made at the figures now demanded.

District Attorney John Manning In masting the criticism made against his office in regard to the proseoutlon of Dr. William Elsen and Ernest Heymans and his aubsequent lack of prosecution following the revelations concerning the death of Miss Golds Rowland last September, makes It plain that he in tends to prosecute all those who violate ins jaw in mis regard. In discussing the Elsen and Heymans case Mr. Manning says Heymans was alloVsd to turn state's evidence at the time he and Elsen were arrested In or der that the state might be able to oonvlct Elsen. Heymans was the., pro' prietor of the X-Hndlum institute while Elsen had been called In as a physician to perform an illegal operation. Upon Heymans' testimony he was convicted. Immunity Bath Tor Xsymana. "I am now trying to locate Heymans and win bring htm back to Portland, said Mr. Manning last night. "When I get him here 1 will tell him that if ha will give ths names of every physi cian who tver performed a criminal operation in his place I will prosecute these physicians and will grant Hey mans immunity in return for his serv ices. "In regard to the Rowland case," he continued, "I did not know anything of the nature of the case, or of I tie vouna woman's death until long after Then Coroner Flnley advised me that there was nothing wrong In the case and the young woman's mother camo to my office and insisted that there was no truth In the charges, urging ms not to take action. It Is not too late, however, to take this case up when Heymans is Drougnt oacic to Portland. "Btill further." said Mr. Manning, "perhaps it is not generally known that there Is no law on the statute books of Oregon covering these particular cases and In order to reach sucn practices It is necessary to bring actions on a manslaughter charge. To prove that charge makes such prosecutions diffi cult of conviction. Willing to Proaactrta. "I want to tell all those interested in the suppression - of such criminal practices," said Mr. Manning In con cluding, "that if they will, when in possession of evidence against any phy sician or other person connected with such operation, bring their evidence to my office or to Mrs. Lola Baldwin, who has always, worked with the district attorney's -"office, prompt prosecution will result The district attorney's of fice is open and will gladly take up the prosecution of all such cases If placed In a position to secure evidence suffi cient to convict."
