The most Interesting situation of the
local real estate market today is in
rentals. .Values are Increasing and
rental costs are very strong with pros
pects of increases of from 25 to 35 per
cent before the end of the year.
Several very natural influences
ere strengthening this branch of the
real estate trade. In tho first place,
the steady prosperity of the commun
ity brought on by shipbuilding and al
lied industries. Is bringing many
workmen and their families to the city.
These men are getting good wages and
demand good homes.
Zmpty Houses rilUnf Rapidly
The second Important influence Is
th.-. high cost of building. With .nate
rials running from 25 to 100 per cent
higher than they were two years ar;o.
the cost of building is almost pro
hibitive. Not. until rentals become
high enough to Justify building at the
extra prices now prevailing, will there
be much construction.
This moans that the rather large
number of empty houses are filling
up rapidly and in time the cupply will
become very limited.
O. O. Rohrer, chairman of tho rent
als committee of the Portland realty
board, speaking of the sltration Sat
urday, declared the s.ime conditions
exist in the other large cities of the
northwest and that a renl scarcity in
houses la already noted in Seattle. He
was informed by the head of a rental
.agency, on a recent trip to Seattle,
that inside of three months hundreds
of newcomers there vill be living in
tent houses.
Houses Held by Deposits
Immediately after the declaration
of war, said Mr. Hohrer, the rental
market dropped somewhat and there
wms a lull. A rather Hleaiiy lncrea.se

Transactions In Grain Lands Especially Numerous;
32 Per Cent More Acreage in Cultivation in Oregon,
More than $1,000,000 has changed
hands through, the state of Ore
gon in the last two months, accordi.in
to reliable estimates, through the
number of deals in ranch properties
of all kinds. The back to the farm
movement has begun in the northwest
with a rush and the greatest activity
In the realty trade today is in this
sort of business.
Transactions in grain land and pro
perties under irrigation have been es
pecially numerous. The activity is
directly traceable to the war and high
prices, it Is said. The last report of
the twelfth federal reserve district
bank regarding the farm situation
said that in Oregon alone, 32 per cent
more acreage was under cultivation
than in 1916. Some of the bigger deals
recently reported were as follows:
Another big real estate deal was
swung but a short time ago,
when Lw E. MeBee closed a deal for
the sale of his fine stock ranch on
Willow creek, a few miles above Hepp
ner, the buyer being O. M. Gray.. The
ranch comprises 7582. acres, about 500
acrea being wheat land, the balance
being best adapted for grazing. The
deal also included 2860 ewes, 76 heal
of cattle and 30 horses, besides farm
ing equipment, and the price was

The announcement that the National
Association of Real Estate Boards will
sponsor a uniform course of real es
late instruction constitutes a timely
milestone between the old order and
the new In the field of real estate

For several years educational
agencies in various parts of the coun

estate. Despite the lack of coordina
tion between these agencies, and the
lack of precedent in formulating their
methods of instruction, popular de
mand for authentic and systematized
information on the more important
phases of real estate operation hat
enabled them successfully to accom
plish their mission, in moat cases.

Now comes the National Association

the text by the use of master sheets,
and substituted chapters, to conditions
as they exist In various parts of the
country, preserving In eah case only j
tne sound economic basis and runaa

present this text together with a com
plete and thoroughly tested plan of
instruction to the various educational
agencies which are qualified to pre
serve the high academic standard of
practical instruction which the Nation
al association hopes to maintain.
It is reported that a text has al
ready been prepared which is in the
process of revision for actual use, and
that many colleges and universities
throughout the country, through their
extension divisions and schools of
commerce, have hailed the production
of this course with enthusiasm and
have pledged their aid In its success
