The! movement inaugurated by the Builders Exchange for a revision of the city building code with a view of making it less stringent in many re spects received fresh impetus at Fri day's luncheon of the Portland, Realty Board when President Vincent ap pointed a committee to confer with the exchange in this regard. E. B. MacNaugaton, of MacNaugh ton & I Raymond, architects, who made a strong address in favor of lessened restrictions on buildings in the down town district, was appointed schalrman of lha committee. ' MacNaughton declared that the 5 present building code as It affects down-town properties is too stringent arid makes for lessened' building oper ations;. He said in part: "Uflder our . present 'fireproof building code it Is not possible for a property owner to build a structure of RICHES GROW- LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE The best way to save a dollar is to , Invest it Bafely and where It can attract other dollars.

A. Smith Tlmper com pany of Minneapolis disposed of all its Linn county holdings, 45,405 acres, to the Continental Timber Land company of Delaware, a corporation which was organized only last December. The value of the property Is about $1,500,000, in the opinion of cruising experts, and was sold for $147,500 sub ject to a mortgage covering a bond issue of $1,300,000 assumed by the purchaser. During the last several vears the body of timber has been transferred from one holding company to another but at all times Smith has held con trol. But this last transfer, it is said, is genuine. Smith controls other lare timber tracts, notably in the southwestern corner of the state and the Smith mills at Marshfield are consilerci the finest on the coast. There is a rumor at Albany that tho new owners purpose erecting a mill in Linn county to cut the timber, but this, has not been verified. Another Apartment House Expected.

E. Tourtellotte. Now is the time when the building investor is having an inning. During the years from 1905 to 1912 the man who put. his money Into a building paid a big price for his ma terial and labor, : and found the men with, whom he dealt full of business and in the attitude of "you can pay your money and get what we give you for It and feel that you are lucky, to get anything for your money at a time when material is so hard to get and labor, is so scarce." But the building epidemic was on and you just had to build regardless of whether" you got value received, or not. : Real estate buying was the same. In both cases it wras everybody getting in on the high, tide, thinking It was forever going to rise; but the tide went down, out has turned, and is beginning: to come in. The things you hoped for made Portland grow, those things have be come realities. One sixteenth of the world's population and one third of the world's wealth is in America. The coming theatre of the- world's com merce, the Pacific. Is at our doors. The Panama canal is a fact - The expositions at San Diego and San Fran cisco are in full blaat.

An election will be held at Warren ton March 20 to authorize a $25,000 bond issue to pay for the proposed school site on the Harvey truct and provide funds for the erection of a $15,000 school building which the school board is contemplating. Several Portland architects have exhibited plans for a building and should the election carry, others. It Is understood, will submit drawings, i There Is some opposition to the pro posed bonds on the ground that tho population of the town does net war rant the expenditure of such an amount for another school building. The district at present has no debt. It Is intended to ask for plans based on unit construction which would al-. low the erection of a structure to which additions could be made as needed.

Seventeen bids were received!. i The building will be two stories Call and see them as they would appear In your own borne, M.

You will get millions of their money in persuading them to invest in the coming city of the northwest Good crops and; high prices. -What more assurance could you want as an assurance of the return of the wave of prosperity? . Contractors have nothing on hand, they can get materials at cost less than actual cost in many cases as manufacturers are forced or are will ing to sacrifice to get things started. I might state you couldf'save from 15 per cent to 30 per cent, which would be indefinite, and even if I compared the cost of materials of two years back with present prices it would not give you an adequate . impression of the great amount of building value an investor can get for his money now as compared to two ' years back, and in a.l probability with what Iti would cost a year hence.
