SMALL
FEATURE
!ES
OF REALTY
Movement in Certain Lines
Appears to Be Improve
ment Over Past Months.
CHANCE FOR INVESTORS
Costs of labor and Materials Are to
Hold TTp'for a Considerable Time,
Say the Experts.
Portland's realty market continues
to travel In a narrow channel, transac
tion" for the past week showing no
advance; in fact, the brokers report
mat tney are barely holding their own.
The general situation may be described,
in bo far as sales are concerned, as at
a standstill. An occasional deal Is re
ported which Indicates that some
speculator has caught the fever In
rtuced by low prices and is taking over
some holdings which someone else has
been forced to turn loose.
inis nescnption. however, does net
apply to the small residence oroDcrtiea
In that branch of the business there Is
a movement somewhat better than has
been observed for a number of months.
Conditions Are Puzzling
Asking prioes for nearly every class
of property Is at the lowest ebb in 10
years, ana tins particular Tact is a
puzzle to those who are careful observ
ers of realty market prices. The rea
son that It In puzzling Is the apparent
unwillingness of persons with ready
money to go In and buy when there Is
practically no chance to lose and every
chance to gain. Almost without ex
ception' realty brokers are convinced
that the bottom of the market has been
reached, and that from now on prices
re bound to move upward, though it
may be by slow degrees.
Just no Jong as the war continues, a
very large portion of that part of the
public that l:s ordinarily willing to take
a chance on a real estate buy will
hesitate to undertake investments, yet
to the shrewd buyer no better opportu
nity has ever been offered.
There Is some indication that bulld
eds and investors are preparing to ad
Just themselves to the prevailing prices
In building materials and labor and to
make the bet of the current standards
as here to stay for the period of the
war, and perhaps for a year or two
thereafter.
Prices Semaln TUrra
"Although labor and building mate
rials are higher than they have ever
been," said a well-known Portland op
erator, "those who are best capable of
judging a situation of this character
feel that only a slight modification in
this situation is apt to occur for a long
time."
Trices of all kinds are going to hold
up for all kinds of building materials
and labor, and builders may as well
make up their minds that apartment
bouses, dwellings and all other kinds
of buildings are not going to be soon
again built for the money that such
structures could be put up for a few
years ago. Prudence is a virtue, but
it should not be permitted to cloud the
power of analyzing conditions. An
owner of vacant property that he
thinks ought to be improved may Just
as well make up his mind that it will
stay vacant a long time unless he is
willing to accept the market conditions
of material and labor as we find them
today.
Several Deals in
Residences Reported
Among the larger residence sales re
ported last week was the purchase by
L. N. Spencer of th Matthew Ford
property at Scenic Place. Tne consia
eratlon involved was $5000.

War Has Increased
Wage Rate in Japan
In view of the increasing wage rate
paid in this country, it la Interesting
to find, that the effect of war prices
and inflation is being felt in Japan.
The Far East Commercial Supple
ment states that the railway board has
decided to raise the wage standard.
Officials receiving less than 40 yen
($19.94) per month are to have a 2 yen
($1) increase, and those who are paid
per diem are tov get 6 sen (3 cents)
mare each working day. "Two yen a
month seems to be a small sum, but It
means a great deal to this class of
workers. All private establishments
will probably follow suit,"
Coal Shipments
Diverted by West
Fuel Administrator Garfield has is
sued an order stopping the shipping of
coal Into Canada from Lake ports." The
purpose of the order is to divert this
coal to the northwest, where there is
great and Immediate need of it. About
180,000 tons of coal are shipped from
Lake ports dally, of which only about
53,000 tons have been reaching the
northwest. One hundred and fifty
thousand tons a day must be shipped
until the close of navigation, to meet
the needs of this region.

Big Dry Kilns Will
Use Sweet Potatoes
" Seventy-five dry kilns for sweet po
tatoes will be in operation In Louisiana
by the end of thj year. These kilns
have Veen erected under the supervi
sion of the state council of defense,
and will effect great savings to the
farmer and business man, holding
sweet potatoes without decay and as
suring better returns to the grow jp
ana lower prices to the consumer.
Jacksonville, r'la., has organized a
$50,0100 corporation to erect sweet po
tato drying houses in different sec
tions ' of Duval, county, and will take
care of the largest crop ever grown in
that section, which will yield much
needed ' cash to the farmers. Duval
county, which had been backward 4n
general farming, planted over 3500
acres of vegetables this year, harvest
ing more -than 900,030 bushels of vari
ous products.
England to Spend
Big Building Sum
"It may be ovf Interest to those en
gaged in the lumber business to kno"v
that the committee which has been
inquiring into Mousing conditions In
England has recommended the erec
tion of 1,000,000 hipuses and an initial
loan from th government of 250,000,
000 pounds," eays the U. S. informa
tion bureau.
"The population has gone on In
creasing these last three years and It
is said n6t a house loas been built in
England in that time. The govern
ment has practically signified Its
acquiescence. Whether the houses ire
brick, stone or wood, it means lots of
lumber. Incidentally if that is the
condition in England, what must it
be in other countries, especially in the
devastated areas."
Transfer of Buehner
Holdings Announced
The announcement was made last
week that the Buehner Timber and
Lumbering interests on Coos bay had
been sold to W. C. Slattery, formerly
a resident of Portland, but now living
at Cleveland, Ohio. The reported con
sideration was 81,750,000 and the prop
erty sold included In addition to a
billion feet of standing timber, a saw
mill at North Bend, two timber schoon
ers and an expensive logging plant.
The standing timber Is supposed to
contain something like 250,000,000 feet

tain Reputation for Hospitality
C. , Allan Myers, the son of Mr. and
Mm J. H. Myers of 724 East Burnside
street, writes entertainingly from
Charlotte, North Carolina, where he
went recently with the Oregon troops
to the national mobilization camp.
Young Meyers was with the train tear
ing the horses and mules, his journey
occupying some 11 days, aa 25 miles
was the speed through many sections
of the country instead of 60 miles,
the record made going south to the
border at the Mexican uprising of
1916.
At Sacramento the lad couldn't find
a restaurant operated by a white man,
but the city made up for this lack by
patriotically flying "Old Glory" from
every building in honor of the passing
soldiers. Yuma) Arizona, he declared
was all "shacks and dust" with some
Indian squaws adding a picturesque
touch. Efforts to photograph them.
however, met with discouragement, the
women covering their faces with their
shawls and finally throwing rocks at
the picture takers.
Free Swim Is Provided
Tucson was the only place In all
Arizona "worth stopping at," accord
ing to the young man, for there the
Y. M. C. A., true to its traditions of
being of real service without red tape
attached, opened up the swimming
tanks at' 10:30 p. m., and the boys had
a good plunge and shower bath, "that ;
alone being worth a whole lot to us,
he adds
Two days were consumed in the trip
across' Arizona and New Mexico, the
last day without water to drink or to
wash in, nor was it till El Paso, Tex.,
was reached that water was secured,
for stock trains are not equipped with
tanks, ice and refriegrators. To com
pensate the boys for these discom
forts en route the El Paso Red Cross
girls gave them sandwiches, coffee
and post cards.
It was at this point that they found
the line clearly drawn as to the people
OUT-OF-TOWN
Klamath Tails. Impressed with the
wonderful outlook for the Klamath
district at this time. G. A. McCarthy
of San Jose has purchased 1000 acres
of this county's fertile soil. The de
tails of the transaction are not to.be
made public at this time, as the
final transfers have not been com
pleted. Mr. McCarthy will make ar
rangements to move his household
goods to this county and become a
permanent resident. He declares that
after considerable travel over the
west, Klamath Falls was the most live
town on the coast. He believes that
the tremendous resources back of the
city will make it one of the principal
centers within a short term of years.
Dallas. Albert Ruge has sold his
147 acre farm, located on the Salem
Lincoln road, to C. F. and F. J. Woelk
and C. W. Dancer; consideration, 8100
ner acre. Mr. Woelk and his son take
57 acres and Mr Dancer takes the.
balance of the farm. The deal was
made through the F. L. Wood real
estate office of Salem.
Amity. The Ellis Realty company
has Just sold the farm of F. M. Black,
consisting of 100 acres and situated
about one mile southwest of Mon
mouth, to William Letteken of Amity.
Mr. Letteken has been very successful
during the past year farming in this
county. The deal was for 812,600 cash.
This farm is practically all under cul
tivation. Is well improved and has on
it an orchard pt about 25 acres. The
soil is very fertile and the farm has
been used chiefly for dairy purposes
Pendleton. Another sale of wheat
land was announced recently. David
H. "Nelson has bought 320 acres from
Gideon Brown for a price that is re
of spruce, 500,000,000 feet of fir and
the remainder in cedar and hemlock.
The Buehner corporation acquired this
property about a year ago from the
Simpson Brothers.
Forest Service Is

The local office of the United States
forest service is still seeking more men
of the north and the south, in appear
ance and manners, and the deserts

cattle and productive ranches. -
Houston, Texas, was pronounced

that their uniforms were much toj

Th Young Women's Christian asso

The "bunch" were not disposed to

so stayed up all night to see the Mis

most interesting features of the trto, j
the ferry taking their train of 29 cars
across at one trip. The river was
three miles wide at this point and re
quired SO minutes to cross.

to serve in the sawmill camps of the
Northwest. Though a great many men
are already employed In the larger
mills, smaller ones are clamoring for
help. The great orders that the gov
ernment has given the west for ships
and lumber for their construction has
given so great an impetus to the in
dustry that there are not enough men
to do the work.
The local foreser's office serves as a
sort of employment bureau to those
who are qualified in sawmill work and
who desire positions in the western
mills. They ask that those who are
interested apply at the offices In the
Beck building, Broadway and Oak
