MEN, , CORVALLIS Thousands of Returning Soldiers Will Want Farms ; Logged-Off Land Suggested. "The necessity of directing the eajrer manhood of Oregon and Washington towarJB the mtKllonn of shamefully neg-Ifi-tefl acren is Just an Intensely real as it M for Portland to protect and enlarge the far reaching- fundamental Industrial movement so wonderfully Inaugurated by the world war," Is the statement of O. II. Skotheim, Portland realtor, who Iiuh for many years made a special study of the Pacific Northwest, Montana and Western Canada, from the standpoint f colonization and the location of large I iMJill Saiilffir liliiMll hg&T ,? V,.. Vr f iiaij,iyrtMcaYTiWft'iMrnrr 4 S.tJMB J ( 4 REALTY SALES FOR WEEK INDICATE A BETTER DEMAND Dealers Report Increasing Num ber of Sales of Both Farm and City Property. FACTORY SITES IN. DEMAND Sleeping rooms and mess hall for men receiving special nailitary training at the Oregon Agricultural college ivallable bodies of lands. Mr. Skotheim traveled over 10,000 miles last year In Montana, Idaho and Alberta, investigat ing realty and agricultural conditions. The Journal man asked Mr. Skotheim to define h)H ideas as to the relation of Portland and the Pacific Northwest gen erally to the subject of land settlement or colonization. This is In substance the analysis of this experienced realtor with reference to the back-to-the-land movement which, according to all sure signs, soon will be upon us. After War Colonlcatloa "After war colonization activities will week expression In two directions: "First, the near city movement deal ing with the Industrial overflow of hu manity, and which will . necessarily be Intimately related to the housing prob lems and the building activities of the large cities. "Secondly, the larger field of placing the young, eager, energetic men who have recently been thrilled by big-world Ideas of achievement, upon the vast areas of unused millions of rich acres In KHStern Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Western Canada. "If the public ,men and the economic leadership of the Pacific coast at this time become exclusively absorbed in our Industrial program; If an Immediate ef-) fort Is not made to deal heroically with the logged-off land problem; if reclama tion or irrigation projects are not pushed to the limit to assist the man who asks an opportunity to own a farm, our full duty will not have been done to the thousands of young men who will begin to return at an early date from the battle fronts and the' camps. Henate Committee Interested "The other day the committee on pub lic lands of the United States senate recommended to spend $1,000,000 on sur veys of farms for returning soldiers. Think of it. a nation which has prac tically financed the whole world in a universal war proposes to spend one ttith the cost of a battleship as Its ini tial contribution to the back-to-the-land movement of the returning millions of soldiers ! It will take a hundred times one million and America ought to be j glad to spend It. "It Is also well to bear In mind that never in the history of the world has the land of America made a stronger appeal to the misery stricken masses of Kurope and the old world than it does today. It may be expected that, unless we stem the tide, great masses of Eu ropean agriculturists will seek new life upon the fertile domain of our own land. American men, and especially our sol diers of freedom, should have the first opportunity and must be given every as sistance and be encouraged with every Incentive to take possession of" our natural wealth as their rightful heritage. "Portland voted $5,000,000 to handle it world trade by providing increased dock facilities and harbor space. Why should tiot Oregon as a state devote twice this sum for the purpose of mak ing millions of acres, now worthless, of untold economic value to its future citlxenship? Some of our logged-off lands, great areas of our inundated ri parian lands and enormous quantities of dry lands In the interior need the touch of human genius and the backing f public finance to become Immedl .v.ely a source of taxable revenue. The public leaders who can think in terms .f gigantic plans are today the real friends of their commonwealth and the benefactors of tomorrow's generation. N'othlnR is more essential for an agri cultural state like Oregon than to fol low a broad and liberal policy in Its re lation to the men who create wealth out of unutilized soil riches. Assist Man on Logged-Off Land "It is nothing short of criminal to put a man with a family, financially un aided, up agaist 100 or 200 acres of stump land expecting him to support himself and dear ones In decency while subduing a wilderness of gigantic stumps, the huge remnants of a forest prtmeval. Our modern man simply will not do it. It is true that It has been done in some sections and-states by cer tain herculean remnants of the Scandi navian races, but even these Vikings are now insisting on the assistance of the donkey engine instead of human sinews. . "Tjirfre scale, scientific land clearing, with long term loans with low rates of interest, will help unite tne maniess land with the landless man. It will be th Greatest Investment of our western states and incidentally will also help to solve the labor problems with which the nation stands face to face. State Most Aid Settler "The state must offer a man the op " portunlty to live decently while he la bors faithful!'. It shonia, it necessary help finance him provided he proves his serious intent to make good. vvny nhould the states of Oregon and Wash ington hesitate to do what private rail road corporations In Canada have done for years? I have talked to hundreds r.' Canadian farmers, many of whom have been helped in times of need both financially and toy the assistance of ex perts, to make good on the prairies of Alberta. Is it fair to compel our young men to leave the wonderful climate and rich valley lands of these western states to vidure the rigors of northern winters lth hardships and sufferings, when as 4 matter of fact, we have nearly 6,000, : sno acres of tillable lands In the Wil lamette and tributary valleys alone? Of this vast area in Western Oregon less Barracks for the accommodation of the S. A. T. C. men at the Oregon Ag ricultural college are almost completed. The bullldng Is 56 by 204 feet in dimen sions and four stories in height. The first story Is of concrete and the three upper stories are of frame construction. Mere than half of the wall space has been given over to windows. Insuring abundance of sunlight. Modern heating and ventilating systems are being' In stalled. Sleeping accommodations will be pro vided for 640 men. The second, third and fourth floors will consist of one large room each, with shelving room for equipment of the men. The basement will be equipped for a mess hall with a capacity for 650 persons. Most of the work on the building has been done by the army men under the direction of Mr. T ravers, who has charge of all college construction work.

The project will be completed in from 12 to 15 months, according to the engineers in charge of the work.

Both companies are verv on- timistlc. than 10 per cent is subject to proper cultivation. TJnless we deal promptly and effi ciently with the back-to-the-land move ment, we shall find ourselves at the end i of another decade without any appre ciable progress so far as Oregon agri culture is concerned. Our people will continue to go Into Canada and Mon tana or other Intermountain states as they have by tens of thousands in the past because they have found there op portunities which Oregon and Washing ton did possess but somehow found It consonant with their policies to con serve for some unborn generation. "Yes, by all means make every effort under heaven to protect Portland's in dustrial achievements and make of her the premier industrial city of the Pa cific. But it will be nothing short of criminal to the largest Interests of the state of Oregon If an Inexcusable moss backism soothes us into another decade of non-performance. Today the back-to-the-land message rings with" greater In tensity than ever in our economic history,- ' . "Give to the laborer a chance to own five acres close to this city.. But give (he real 'farmer boy an opportunity to own 500 acres If he will at the end f 10 years, and we shall have enrfched Oregon beyond the drea,ms of its great est optimists." Coe A. McKenna & Co. have en tered upon an active campaign in the construction and sale of houses. The company owns several hundred home sites in the Peninsula district and has plans perfected for the erection of modern homes to meet the demands of employes in shipyards and manufactur ing plants accessible to their holdings .Concerning the situation in Portland, Mr. McKenna said yesterday, "We are very optimistic as to the future of Portland. We have fitted up our -new offices at 82 Fourth street, knowing and feeling that Port land Is on the eve of the greatest era of prosperity In its history. "Portland Is in need of from three thousand to five thousand new houses at the present time and no immediate relief is in sight. Thousands of men will soon return from war activities. Many of these men have families of their own and will need separate homes. 'The release of practically all .lines of industry from government restrictions will make employment for thousands of men and there need be no fear on the part of labor as to the future of this city. Portland, is already on a peace basis. Fortunately for us, ships are a necessity of peace as well as of war and the absolute need for a great American merchant marine was never more keenly felt than now. "The United States should be the com mercial center as well as the financial center of the world and we are going to furnish not only ships but cargo for the consuming nations. The Pacific coast will be especially favored in the new industrial development and our ports will prosper during the next five years a3 no other section of the country has ever prospered. The wise man will buy his home now." The Coe A. McKenna company reports the sale of 10 houses during the past two weeks, ranging in price from $1700 to $3750. The company has also started construction work on a number of new houses In the Peninsula district. Albany Packers Will Enlarge Their Plant Albany. Nov. lIn order to nrovide for government inspected meat, the packing plant of D. E. Nebergall Meat company is being overhauled and en larged. A new two-story kUling room 20 by 50 feet is being added t the main building and new tank rooms are also being built. When completed it will be the only government inspected plant be tween Portland and San Francisco The plant was built only a few years ago but its business has developed very rapidly and it now has a dally output or more than $1000. Albany Farm Sells; Price Was $30,000 Realty sales of the past week reflect an optimistic spirit on the part of the public. The lull In the market durtng the first week of" November Is generally attributed to Interest in elections, preva lence of the influenxa epidemic .and un certainty as to the duration of the war. With the assurance of peace and the rapid abatement of the influenza epi demic, sales of both city and farm prop erty show a marked Increase and the prospects for the future were never brighter, according to realty dealers. Numerous Inquiries for small acreages near the city give a healthy tone to the market and Indicate a rapid return to normal peace conditions. Lifting of the ban on building opera tions by the war Industries board has stimulated construction work and plans for building new residence property and for the extension of Industrial plants are rapidly going forward. New build ings, to a maximum cost of $10,000, irre spective of classification, may now be constructed without permit from Wash ington authorities and building opera tions to a maximum cost of $25,000 may be undertaken upon the approval of the state council of defense, according to the new ruling. Buildings begun prior to September 3, when restrictions be came effective, may now be completed. According to Henry W. Fries, vice president of Wakefield, Fries 4c Co., many Inquiries are being received by his firm from out-of-town manufactur ing industries wishing to find locations in Portland. Mr. Fries is optimistic as to the future growth of the city and prophesies a rapid industrial develop ment during the next year. Other promi nent realty dealers, including President Paul Murphy of the Portland Realty board and Paul Cowglll. secretary of the board, share this optimism and look for the biggest realty business In the history of the city during the coming ar. ' The demand for moderate & priced homes is stronger than at aor time during the past year, according to re ports of dealers, and modern houses ranging in price from $1800 to $3000 find a ready market. While such prop erties move faster on easy terms, there has been a larger number of cash sales reported during the past week than in the past. Assurance of permanent em ployment is inducing thousands of work ers in the city to buy their own homes and become permanent residents.
