M Buying of Portland real estate by res
ident of Wijlamett.5 valley aod eastern
1 Oregon towns is one or the notable feat
ures of present day conditions In the
local realty market, and Is one that Is
i being developed -by a tiumoer ouemer
' prising brokers. Wheat, fruit and wool

.i.t. on the nast few years, all of
(which has been lying idie In theeoun
i try banks. One result of this conges
tion of raftney, has been :ts d4 very
7 largely - to the amount of choice Port
' Und realty owned by residents of the
' state outside the city. -. -
- One of the most prominent brokers In
the city reports the sale of ;mere than
i half a "million dollars-worth of- high-
clVsa Portland real estate to Willamette
I valley residents In. the past four years,
i a large portion of which Is still held by
Uhe original purchasers. Much of this
S property was acquired not for -specula-'
lion but tor investment purposes, and in
1 many instance has been Improved by
".the erection of modern buildings. A
1 favorite class of Improvements made
by these investors Is apartment houses
land flats, no less than a dosen of the
I handsomest apartment buildings in the
.'city having been -erected and are still
5 owned by residents of Willamette val-
ley and i eastern s Oregon; towns. J j

.'A'dealer discussing this phase of the j
mmUv market said: "As a rule. I find
outside residents of the state, are much
more appreciative of present values and

i Am an illustration: in answer to an
advertisement,- last .week a gentleman
my office. Within ten ' minutes of the
t time he first saw the property i naa a
I deposit from wm on m purcnano pnc
land-he said he was well. satisfied, and
; .hnnia have been, as It was a good buy.
'The purchase price was $10,600, and the
J Income was 180 per month, which, made
t pay over' 19 per-'cent net. Notwith
i standing all H this, many Portlanders
would recall the time-in the long ago
iwhen they could nave bought- the' lot
for $500, and for that reason would turn
'the proposition -down- promptly. Out
f side-investors ' own millions of -dollars
worth of choice Portland property, and
lit is certainly a pleasure-to do business
i with them. Another i reason why the
situation looks, better to them, than. to
I most residents: -they only come to Port
iland at intervals, therefore are in much

Portland make a bee Una to wee it as
soon as they-, arrive.' In . many way
; thev are much better posted about Fort
f land than most of the residents.
i The largest - transaction of the week J
t and one of the largest or the year (and
$ hy the way this property ! was acquired
f toy non-residents), was the purchase by
tne uregory investment company, oper
ating :irt Seattle and Tacoma, of 80 acres
in the Rose City Park tract. This oroD-

He worked night and dav. as all

But he wasn't as contented there as
he thought he would be. Conditions

PROPOSE LAW TO CURB
REAL ESTATE SHARKS
- ,..
Keputable Dealers of California Will Unite in Asking
Xext: Legislature to Pass Stringent BillPort-
land Operators Mav Folio w- Bxainpl e.
San Francisco, Nov. 21. Copies of a
bill designed to keep "fakers' and'
"sharks" out of the real estate business,
which will be presented at the next ses
sion of the legislature, are being sent'
to all reputable j real .' estate dealers
throughout California ' by " the State
Realty ' fefleratton. Tha bill was pre
pared by . DeWUt.H. Gray of Fresno,
chairman of the legislative committee
M. E.'.Church ; South; Union .Avenue
and JMultnomah Street. - .
and former president of the realty fed-
eratlon. . " -
The desired law . If naaaod iHll niv.
It a misdemeanor for anyone to engage
in business as a real estate agent with
out 1 obtaining a- license In tha atata
and without. filing a bond for not less
than $5,000 for the benefit of persons
with-whom --the agent may deal. .
The measure la aimed to check the
mushroom brokerage firms that spring
up-when aaies and investments become
brisk. ' It - will also protect the real es
tate fraternity - fom unjust censure
when a "curb", firm is exposed. ',.
A" law a. containing practically the
same provisions as' are incorporated -in
the proposed California law has often
been discussed by the reputable realty
brokers . operating in Portland and in
other Oregon cities, but chiefly because
of a lack of concert of action, nothing
has been done along that line..
No reputable business is more subject
to injury by, the curb brokers, or as
they are: sometimes antlv called, "flv-
by-olghta." In times when there Is an.
active demand for realty, real estat
agencies spring up likei mushrooms, to
the serious injury of the old-line, well
established brokers, who mav with tha
nusiness. wnerner they make one sale
a month or a half a-dosen a dav.
The organisation of the Portland
Realty board during the past year will
in all probability result in the framing
of a statute and its presentation to the
next legislature, which will correct
many of the evils that now beset the
profession -
