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

sions and four stories in height. The

upper stories are of frame construction.
Mere than half of the wall space has

and ventilating systems are being' In

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.

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.
