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 that hail been going on Just before that event. uieted down. T.iU incvet.ient has been resumed again. In greater volume than before, with no imme diate proopect of a cessation, s At least 50 per cent of the unoccu pied houses In tho city at pre -ent will Jic taken I y early fall, he said, and many people who re leaving their homes for summer vacations In va rious plr.crs arc making deposits o in sure keeping the houses when they MORE THAN $1,000,000 IN REALTY HAS OREGON IN THE PAST CHANGED HANDS TWO MONTHS, IS SHOWN BY E KATE Activity Directly Traceable to War and High Prices; The 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 J 100.800. Mr. Gray Is to have im mediate possession of his purchase. Mr. McBee will remain here and con timie a factor in the stock Industry of Morrow county. Sales of Powell Butte Irrigated lands, that will aggregate $100,000 have been made and are pending.

All of this upphes to the better clf:ss of houses. Realty men say many of the unoccupied houses of the city are in bad st:1 of repair and need terfleld and J. E. Warner are the m .n who have already sold their landa there. Prlnevllle Journal. Claud Steen of thkj city purchased 895 acres of land, 10 miles southeast of Lewlston, Idaho, last week.

Big Ship Sheds to Rise Building remains nominal. little vork being contracted for ur'.ide of the industrial plnnts under construc tion. Plans for one of the biggest fchtpbullding projects in several weeks were submitted Friday to the inspec tors of the municipal bureau of build ings for approval. The Coast Shipbuilding company, successors of the Heath corporation, asked permission to construct four sheds 63 feet wide, 280 feet long and TOO feet high over their shipways at the foot of Gibbs street. These frame buildings will cost $35,000. according to the application, and they are to be $65,000. A hard surface road within eight miles of the place leads through the fine orchard tracts of Idaho Mil ton Eagle. What is declared to be the biggest land deJ ever made In tho Palouse country was closed last week, when the Garfield Land company sold to Andrew McCauley of Dayton, the 500 acre farm of J. N. Livingston for $50, 000 cash. Mr. McCauley will take charge of the property October 1. and Mr. Livingston and family- will prob ably locate In California. Wenatchee, Wash., World. As an example of the demand for wheat land In Umatilla county Is the reselling Saturday of a half section of land by Art Grover of Helix, which he acquired a few months ago and for which he paid what was considered an extremely high price. The nair section lies north of Pendleton in what is known as the Finn district and was acquired by Grover fro.n Dave Nelson for $40,000. He has sold it to Alex McKenzle of Walla Walla, formerly an Adams farmer, but who of late years has been in the auto mobile business. Pendleton East Ore gonlan. t. The long pending sale of the wel improved H. G. Monce ranch two miles north of town was completed Monday. The purchaser, F. C. Smyth, lately from near North Platte, Neb., paid Mr. Monce $14,000 cash, $200 per acre. Mr. Smyth is in possession ana will secure this year's crop. Nampa, Idaho, Record. Two pieces of Indian wheat ManJ were sold last week through the Uma tilla agency and both brought good prices. Bruno Weber purchased 160 acres situated on the south reserva tion adjoining his farm for $17,120. Tha land belonged to the mother of Michel Wilson. Tom Thompson pur chased an 80 situated on the south reservation for $10,480. The land iJ known as the Ealonni land and was formerly farmed by Charles Hamil ton Pendleton East Oregonian. Two real estate transactions were put through In the Parker district las: week, Involving the transfer of 188 acres of farm land, when the Eman uel King and Fred Loy places wero sold. Mr. Vieth, an Idaho farmer, was the purchaser of the 91 acres in the King farm at a price of $9900 and the Loy place brought $965.0, or $100 per acre, from Sussman & Polsky of Portland. Both of the farms are weil improved and numbered among tne best in that part of the county. Dallas Observer. E. Debernardi, who owns a part of the Lesina ranch in the vicinity of Glide, spent a part of today confer ring with local attorneys with rela tion to transferring a part of his tract to the state for fish hatchery purpose. It is understood that an agreement has been reached between Mr. Debernardi and the state officials and the formal transfer papers will probably be executed within the next few days. Roseburg Review. Mrs. Mary A. Smith of Chicago has purchased the prune orchard in Look ing Glass valley, formerly owned by J. M. Richardson of Chicago, and man aged by Charles Howard of Looking Glass. Mrs. Smith expects to take possession soon, and the orchard will be under , the management of her son, G. L. Russell. Roseburg News. Expansion, which is partly natural and partly brought on by the war, has forced the Y. M. C. A. to move Its automobile school from the east side to property leased from Reed college at Sixth and Main streets, where a $7500 building has been erected and is now being thoroughly equipped. The building, which has Just been completed, is of two stories, of con crete, and contains 7935 squar feet of floor space.

For several years educational agencies in various parts of the coun try have been offering courses in real estate.
