REALTY AND BUILDING NEWS OF THE WEEK IN AND NEAR PORTLAND SALES AND HAPPENINGS IN REAL ESTATE WORLD DEMAND FOR HOMES IS KEEPING UP ITS PACE Await klflrw propositions. Several good sized deeds for desir able inside property have been pending tor a week or so, according to Port land realty men, though none has reached the point where the money has appeared. The opinion Is universal that investors are waiting; only to b shown that their prospective ventures Will turn out safely, and that this Is a matter of confidence and, education. One operator declared that what some call stagnation Is nothing but the fact that the most gilt edged property Is not on the market at all and possi ble buyers are not satisfied with In vestments of less wholesome charac ter. At the same time, he said, there Is some Inquiry for business property, which undoubtedly will bear fruit within the nest, few weeks. Most op erators are working on the assumption that "business conditions" have noth ing to do with the situation that the money is available as soon as It is plain that the Investment will yield bettr returns than the Interest paid by the banks. And so they are study ing the properties listed with them and figuring out how they can be made valuable for business enterprises. Purchase at Warranto. George A.

Li. Mumford of the Ore gon Home Builders, who sees In the European war troubles no serious menace to Portland realty. At the same time appears to this operator a slight drag in sctual sales of property already improved. The rea son for this he attributes to the fact that easier terms usually can be 'made on development propositions than on these with established values. 'When people of moderate means come to any of the Portland conoema such as ours and ask to build homes for them, the companies find out first of all what: they can afford to pay down and what they can afford to pay in Installments," said Mr. Mumford. It is highly important that the pros pective purchaser be not allowed to burden himself too heavily for his in come Otherwise he becomes a slave to his borne and his lot would be worse than the renters. REALTY BOARD WOULD PROSECUTE SWINDLERS Portland real estato men are ponder- 1 lng the words of District Attorney Walter H. Evans, uttered at the Friday luncheon of the Realty Board, which bade them beware the devious trick and' the curbstone method of selling land. "We have convicted 11 real estate men a larger proportion In this pro fession than any other unless it be lawyers," said Mr. Evans. "True, these men are not representative and by no means worthy a place' In your organi sation, but they have hurt the legiti mate operator and I am glad that you have taken up the campaign to pat such men out of business. Mr. Evans was asked for an opinion ori how to foil the sharpers who ad- vertlse to sell naix interests in real estate companies and the prosecutor said such men were the hardest to catch of any frauds his office had to contend with.

Though most new building operations of this character are expected to close up within the next six weeks, holders' of residence properties are optimistlo that they will reopen with vigor in the spring. The method employed In putting over schemes of that kind, Mr. Evans raid, is to make fake statements of busl ness mostly oral and to get some money little or much from -the vic tim. The scheme is employed mostly in the "Bale" of "half interests" in pressing parlors, Mr. Evans explained, because an Institution of that kind re quires little more capital than enough to buy a can of gasoline and a tailor's gooae. Mr. Evans urged the realty men to keep on their campaign for honest ad vertising and rclenrtcss - war on the fake real estate man who preys upon the newcomer and sells him worthies land or land in which there is no title. President S. Dean Vincent of the board thanked Mr. Evans for his re marks, declaring that they were along the precise lines the board is working upon.
