Watkihs, in the St. Louis Republic. "While I was in Cleveland recently I had a talk with Mr! Clark, president of the Cleveland real estate board. . He told me that the board was keeping a tab on the actions of its members wfth the view of advancing the confidence of the public in its members. "The board does not permit its mem bers to misrepresent facts in making sales or leases. It provides funds for prosecution of dishonest agents, and recently was instrumental in sending an agent to the penitentiary for mis representing facts in the sate of lots in a subdivision. "Our exchange would bo an organi zation of more influence if it would tak0 similar supervision over mem tors. The Memphis Real Estate Exchange uses the word 'Honor for its motto, and is trying to compel all its mem bers to live up to the motto. It makes it an object to buyers and sellers of real estate to patronize members of the exchange. BUILDING PERMITS Ualtnr iah county, repair fireproof steel frame courthouse.

A two story frame dwelling which' will be used as a parsonage is being constructed by the Bethel M. W. church at Larrabee and "McMillan streets. S. Golden is the builder. The structure will cost $1500. With more than 350 men and two pile drivers busy every day, on Sun days and as much outside of regular working hours as is needful, the North Bank road's terminals at . Flavel are now so far along that the completion is now but a few weeks away. Two hundred thousand yards of earth and sand have been pumped out of the river bottom and dumped back of the dock piling to make up the huge fill necessary for the terminal yards. Four and a. half miles of new track have been laid, connecting the main rail line with the ocean terminal and freight sheds, 600 feet long aid 50 feet wide are nearly . f inished. Work on' the passenger depot and of fice building 150 feet long, is well advanced. A "Y," built to allow the turning around of trains without switching, is being built and water for the engines and general uses will be supplied from a well which has now attained a depth of 460 feet. Most of the North Bank: officials visited Flavel FViday to make a semi final inspection and to make such suggestions as each might find valu able to carry out his own particular part of the work of business handling. Representatives of the executive, fi nancial, operating, engineering and traffic .departments were in the party, which was the largest that has yet visited the operations in a body. With the launching yesterday of the Northern Pacific, second and last of the Great Northern Pacific Steamship company's Colurr-bla-to-San Francisco fleet, the need for hurry in completion of the dock became more apparent President L C Gilman, ot the North Bank road and the steamship company, participated in the ceremonies at Philadelphia. It is probable that both ships will be ready in ample time for the beginning of the 1915 service. The dock, however, is not to be idle De tween the time of Its completion and the beginning of service, because it was admitted at North Bank headquar. ters that it will be used to berth general shipping.

Keasey Co., declares Portland realty and business men have got a "grouch" and had better come out of it. In the Bear state, he says, he was impressed with the confidence and optimism of business men, who, while doing no more business than is transacted here, comparatively speaking, were on the firing line with smiling faces. 'They were doing business, perhaps not as much as in the pas, but, believe me, they were busy," said Mr. Keasey. "Their earnestness, their smiling and hustling way, appealed to me, and does to every outsider. I did not hear one serious complaint on my entire trip. They talked about peace and prosper ity, and were busy. I called on a friend in one of the San Francisco banks, and in the course of conversa tion I said to him: 'I have heard up north they are working short shift on the exposition buildings, and that there is some uncertainty about the expo- sition being the sucfi that was an ticipated. - ' "Nothing to it,' wji his reply, and in spite of the busxfitme of the -day he insisted on me gefDg Into li is ma chine and in less thjijf an hour he had convinced me that &&'n I'rancisco Is going to have the grtest of all expo sitions.
