RED
RO
SHOP
WILL MOVE INTO
Size of Business Has Grown
Until Removal to Storeroom at
Third and Oak Is Necessary.
BIG SUMS BEEN REALIZED
National Organization Benefited
to Extent of $65,000 in Past
14 Months; Work Not Over.
' After clearing over $fij,000 in 14
months for tho American Red Cross, the
Red Cross superfluity hop, located. at
106 Fifth street, will move next Wednes
day to new and larger quarters at 70-72
Third street, corner Oak street.
Beginning with daily receipts of less
than 20. the shop now averages better
than J200 a day.
Approximately 09 per cent of all rf -reipts
pro to the Red Cross, as the cost
of operation is virtually nil. All serv
ice is the- patriotic donation of promi
nent Portland women and there is but
tit paid worker.
The Red Cross shop was Hie Idea of
Mrs. William Wood and was the first
of its kind In the United States. It
lias been the model for hundreds of
others now located in every state in the
Union.
Hard to Get Goods i:nougb
So extensive has the bui-iness of the
nhop become that the problem now Is
1 1o obtain h sufficient quantity of do
' rated- goods for sale, so once more the
Tied Cross shop In making an earnest
appeal to all Portland to empty its gar
rets of old and new Jewelry, housefur
mshings, books, clothing.-- china, furr.i
lure, embroidery, pictures, fancy knl'
ting, toys, even if damaged, and 101
tther articles.
"We .can sell anything Portland gives
us. although we want especially tnoe
things which are 'too good to give
way." " naiil Mrs. G. T. Trommald. di
rector of the shop, in the absence of
!rs. W. L. Wood.
Books and clothing are the shop's
two biggest staples, and any quantity
i of these articles can be disposed of im
mediately. So can canned goods, china dishes,
glassware, plants, electrical articles,
pets. 'Anything from a packet of pins
to an automobile we want," said Mrs.
Trommald".
i Big Demand for Clothes
Three thousand dollars on used cloth
ing in one month has been realized hy
the Red Cross shop, and that is why
Portland is begged to leave large quantities-
of used garments from a baby's
trousseau to a man's underwear at the
tihop, or to put in a phone call to the
lted Cross for the Red Cross truck.
When friends of the Red Cross work
ers ask why they are continuing the
chop In view of peace, they point out
"the daily Increasing expenditures 'of the
f ted., Cross for soldiers and their ot.
iendents. These expenditures, it is ex
pected, will not reach their peak for
another six months, and will probably
continue for a year or more..

Gold Hill to Vote
Irrigation Bonds
Gold Hill. Jan. 11. The Gold Hill irri
gation district will hold a special elec
tion on February 11 to authorize the
issuance of $15,000 additional bonds to
complete the system. The estimates
and bond issue was made three years
ago based r.t prevailing prices at the
time, and war conditions are responsible
for the deficency. This will make the
total bonded indebtedness $75,000. The
diverting works ate on Rogue river three
miloa above Gold Hill, and th,e main
canal extends on the south side of the
river to the Josephine county line, a dis
tance of 15 miles, and will serve about
5000 acres of tillable land.
Construction began late last fall, and
the diverting works and eight miles of
the main canal are now fully completed,
ting, toys, even if damaged, and 101
valley the contractors, Kraner & Car
ter of Kan Francisco, proposed to have
the system fully completed by the first
of the year, but the labor shortage,
heavy rains in the fore part of the
winter, and the late freezing weather,
which completely suspended operations,
will extend the completion of the sys
tem several months.
New Schedules
For Power Rates
Are Being Mailed
Circulars announcing the change in
rates for power are being sent out by
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
company. The new rates were granted
by the public service commission of Ore
gon after a prolonged hearing last Oc
tober and were granted on petition of
the railway company for a rate suffi
cient to offset the increase in Its oper
ating expenses due to the greatly in
creased cost of rendering power service.
The new rates apply on regular meter
readings beginning on Pecember 5, last.
The new- minimum charge is $1 per
month per kilowatt of demand. No
minimum charge is to be less than $1
per month and wherever the demand of
any consumer is determined monthly
the minimum charge Fhall be $1 per
month per kilowatt of capacity contract
ed for by the consumer.
The existing residence and commer
cial lighting schedules are not affected
by this order of the commission.
Homes in Nazareth
and America Topic
Rev. Thomas Jenkins, rector of St.
David's Episcopal church, will compare
the home of Nazareth and the home of
America in his Sunday morning sermon.
He will touch on the necessity that
caused Maor Baker to appoint a com
mittee to investigate juvenile delin
quency and will also speak on the di
vorce' evil. The Sunday evening sermon
will be based on the ninth command
ment. The Sunday school ' for little
children is held from 12 to 12 :30 o'clock
each Sunday, thus making it conven
ient for parents to leave young chil
dren during the morning 'service.

PORTLAND BUILT SHIP
TO CARRY SUPPLIES TO
PERSECUTED PEOPLES
Belle West Leaves New York
With Cargo for Starving
Refugees of Near East.
On a Portland-built steel ship, the
Belle West, a product of the Columbia
River corporation, Saturday a cargo of
8750 tons of flour left New Tork for the
relief of starving Armenian, Syrian,
Greek and Persian refugees. The vessel
Is in the United States government trans
port service and is manned by navy
men. She is the third ship put at the
disposal of the general American Com
mittee for Relief in the Near East, with
headquarters in New York.
A telegram to this effect from David
Hinshaw, executive of the general com
mittee, in New York, has been received
by J. J. Handsaker, state director for
Oregon, who Is now busily engaged in
organizing his forces for the Oregon
campaign to raise a total of $184,000.
That the situation in the countries
where hundreds of thousands of these
refugees have been driven by the Turks,
Germans and their cotorturers during
the years of the'war is! desperate, is the
word of no less a personage than Presi
dent Wilson himself, who has cabled in
answer to a query, saying that the $100.
000,000 which he recently asked con
gress to appropriate for relief work has
nothing to do with the Near East fea
ture. "I hope that this subscription (Near
East) will no"t in any way be Interrupted
or reduced : the need is immediate and
very great," cabled President Wilson to
Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer of the
general committee.
M. E. Church Board
Erects Building in
Washington, D. 0.
At a cost of $400,000. the board of
temperance, prohibition and public mor
als of the Methodist Episcopal church,
of which Dr.. Clarence True Wilson, for
merly of Portland, is general secretary,
is erecting a new building in Washing
ton. D. C, to be used as headquarters
in Washington for all Protestant de
nominations, as well as other organi
zations. The building, a six-story struc
ture, will be located just next the sen
ate building, facing the capitol grounds.
It will have a. frontage of 150 feet on
First street and on Maryland avenue.
The building will have k .reception
rcom and a large convention hall In .ad
dition to office space, and the three ton
rioors will be devoted to apartments.
Almost $200,000 has already been
raised, including a $10,000 gift from Dr.
Charles E. Welch, the grape-juice man,
and a similar sum from J. C. McDonald,
Pennsylvania banker. The marble for
the building was donated by the Alaska
Shamrock Marble company, whose head
quarters are in Portland, an$l the struc
tural steel was given by Pennsylvania
steel men. The ground, which la valued
at $150,000, was obtained from two es
tates for $30,000 through the efforts of
Dr. Wilson.
The ground will be broken In the
spring and the building completed ,be
for the holidays, according to present
plans of the general secretary.

REALTY MEN
BIG. DRIVE FOR
NEW MEMBERS
Campaign Has Been of Great
Value to Dealers in All" Pacific
Coast States.
EXECUTIVES TO ASSEMBLE
Plans Being Made for Inter
state Meeting to Be Held at
. Spokane.
To have established direct communica
tion w 1th 7000 realty dealers ; to have
published, in addition, 10.000 member
ship bulletins, which fcave boen sent
to ihe entire profession throughout the
Pacific coast states, Montana, Idaho,
Alberta and British Columbia: to have
been instrumental in organizing several
Important local realty boards: to have
secured hundreds of new members for
the organization : to have written per
sonal letters with suitable publicity to
1100 newspaper publications throughout
the territory these are several of the
achievements in connection with the
mernl ci ship campaign conducted by O.
H. Skotheim, Henry building, of this
city, in the interest of the Interstate
Realty association of the Tacific North
west. The campaign, which has also been
instrumental in advancing the move
ment for the adoption of a license law
fcr re.iltors, has, been of immense edu
cational value to tho realty profession.
T( oueanus of men engaged in the real
estate business have been ignorant In
regard to the existence of this rapidly
growing association organized in Port
land about three years ago. and a
product of Portland men with F. E.
Taylor as founder and first president.
Information Is Complete
After tiie close of this membership
drive there will hardly be an fndH'ldual
engaged in the real estate. .business in
this entire Northwestern territory who
ha-s net received complete information
touching tho purposes of the Interstate
Realty association, and who has not
been moved, at least part of the way,
to become a member of this organiza
tion. The organization stands for the high
est business ethics among realtors, and
aims to secure the introduction of legis
lation in the several Northwestern
states and throughout Canada for the
purpose of placing realty men in a pro
fessional class controlled, by regulations
which will eliminate irresponsible del
ers and prevent illegitimate operations.
This i hoped to be achieved by a li
cense law under the terms of which
every operator in real estate must fur
nish a bond to the state, and a large
number of recommendations and refer
ences vouching for his responsibility as
a business man. ,
Mr. Skotheim, who was one of the
organizers of the association several
years ago and who has been connected
with the organization as one of the
Oregon directors, started the member
ship drive under appointment by the
executive committee on October 1, and
reports that the most significant de
velopment of the entire campaign has
been tho willingness On the part of some
of the largest operators and - biggest
business men In. the large cities to leave
their offices ana sacrifice financial in
terests by going out into other cites
and communities to assist in the organ
ization of local boards as well as to
secure members for the association.
Spokane Men AetlTe
I. J. McCormlck of Spokane, Wash.,
who spent several days in Portland re
cently, reports that Spokane has secured
in addition to the old members an In
crease of about 30 new members for
the association. Owen Bean of Albany,
one of the leading real estate men of
the Willamette valley, has just returned
from a trip into Southern Oregon, where
hf- was instrumental in assisting the
realtors at Roseburg in strengthening
their organization ; also going to Grants
Pass, Medford and Ashland where he
secured a large number of new mem
bers for the association. -Mr. Bean re
ports the conditions in Southern Oregon
as very satisfactory in the real estate
business, one firm at Rosehurg having
sold seven farms since theycessation of
the war. There are at least 20 men
among the biggest operators in Oregon
and Washington, who have rendered
such services, all without compensation
and simply in appreciation of the work
which has been done by the campaign
manager and the general efforts ini
tiated by the organization to build up
a body of responsible realty operators
throughout the Northwestern 'states.
Realty Leaders ActiTe
Mr. Skotheim states that from the
reports coming In from all sections of
the Pacific Northwest, it Is apparent
that the real estate men are beginning
to consider their service functions in
the communities more seriously. Sev
eral of them are in the legislatures of
their respective states and intend to ad
vocate constructive measures in connec
tion with land settlement. Irrigation
and colonization projects. From scores
of them letters have been received stat
ing the necessity of creating public con
fidence by carrying on realty operations
on a sound and conservative basis, mak
ing tho investment in real estate of
paramount importance to all other in
vestments. Thousands of realtors have been
among the most energetic war workers
during the past several years, and from
reports out of the Canadian provinces
it appears that probably two thirds of
the real estate' offices In the small cities
have been closed and most of the opera
tors have either crossed the seas for
service or else been chiefly interested
in patriotic activities at home. One
railroad company in Canada, which Is
also the most extensive land and colon
ization organization in the world, reports
that over 8000 of its employes had gone
to the war and practically its entire land
organization offered to the service of
the nation.
The executive committee of the Inter
state Realty association will meet In
regular session at Spokane. January 24
and 25,- at which time Mr. Skotheim,
membership campaign manager, will de
liver a report covering the campaign
activities and most important measures
for the future growth and development
of the organization will be adopted.
There are several members of the execu
tive committee in Portland who will at
tend this meetir;-, including F. E. Tay
lor, past 'president and founder; Paul
C. Murphy, vice president for Oregon ;
Fred W. German, director for Oregon ;
Paul A. Cowgill, secretary ; Frank Mc
Guire, Frank L. McGrillis and others.
Realty Concern Moves
J. A. Wickman & Co., formerly lo
cated at 314 Stark street, have moved
their realty: office to suite 204 Railway
Exchange building and are making -extensive
preparations to , take care of
what they anticipate will be a greatly
increased business this , spring.
J MOTOR SLED IS SPEEDY
I l
New mail cart
For many years mushcrs of the North
ern trails have been crossing with some
success different breeds of dogs in an
effort , to find an animal capable of
enduring the rigorous work demanded
of them, but It has remained for F. CI.
Horner, a resident of Alaska for a score
of years, to invent a sled, a cross be
tween a war tank and the old-fashioned
dog sled, which ia expected to do the
work of a dozen dig teams, and, if suc
cessful, may revolutionize the opening
of the Northern countries.
All the features of the dog sled are
contained in the machine, which Mr.
Horner, now in Portland, has designed,
except that it is longer, being 25 feet
in length. On either side of the sled
are wheels with light caterpillar treads
which break their own trail through the
snow. A rudder is adjusted to the front
of the pled and consists of a wheel which
may cut the snow to a depth of ttn-ee
feet or merely skim over the top.
The entire machine, says Mr. Horner,
ADVENTISTS BUY LAND
AND HOTEL INTENDING
TO CONDUCT
Sutherlin Selected as Place for
Educational Institution in
This State.
Roseburg, Jan. 11. One of the most
important deals to be consummated in
this county for some time was com
pleted here this week, when Frank
Waite of Sutherlin sold the property
known as the Sutherlin Inn, and adja
cent buildings of this block, as well as
a tract for. agricultural experiments of
several acres near the town of Suther
lin, to the Seventh Day Adventist church
people.
The Adventlsts have planned to es
tablish an academy in the hotd build
ing, which is a modern two-story brick
that cost $30,000 when erected four years
?go. The deal was consummated by
Elder- Rippey and other prominent Ad
ventlsts of Roseburg and Cottage
Grove. The school, which has been con
ducted at Loraine, in Lane county, will
be moved to Sutherlin and more than
to families will move to this valley for
the purpose of developing this school. '
The property in this deal is of the
probable value of $100,000, according to
parties who are familiar with condi
tions here. This means great develop
ment for the city of Sutherlin. which is
one of the most modern places of its
size in the state. - They have paved
streets and H4 miles of paved roadway,
as well as modern electrical street
lighting, sewer and water system. The
town was originally platted by the Luse
Land & Development company when it
purchased the land in this valley and
set it out in orchards about 10 years
ago. A large timber Interest was mak
ing a grade for a railroad to the tim
ber near Sutherlin when the war came
on and further work ceased. This tim
ber will come out through Sutherlin.

IS NOTED BY DEALER
j Shipyard Workers Accustomed to
Freedom in Homes . Prefer
Land Outside of City.
A brisk and increasing demand for
suburban property and acreage w ithln
10 miles of Portland is reported by M.
J. Clohcssy, 415 Abington building, who
makes '. a- specialty of this class of
homes. There is an Increasing demand
for unimproved acreage, which seems
to have developed since the first of the
year. Mr. Clohessy attributes this to
the fact that many shipyard worker
and other recent arrivals In the city
have become so Impressed with the cli
matic. and other advantages of this sec
tion that they desire to locate here per
manently. As many of these people are or have
been accustomed to working on the
land, they naturally turn to suburban
property, where they can have the
freedom to which they are accustomed.
This dealer reports quite a few sales
closed since New Tear's, with every
prospect of a record-breaking business
this spring.

GENERAL OPTIMISM
FEATURE OF REALTY
AT PRESENT
Increased Inquiry, Especially in
Demand for Better Class of
Homes, Is Reported.
The general tone of the local realty
market Is optimistic "-. in the extreme.
Established dealers are reporting lu- "
creased inquiry, especially for the bettor
class of homes and deals are 'being closed
with comparatively little difficulty. '
, In most cases substantial first pr.v
ments are being tnade-and the difficulty
seems to be not no much in finding buy
ers as In netting listings of tho. right
kind. The depression which some seemed
to think would follow thj signing of tha
armistice has failed to materialize. On
the contrary, since January 1 iniuirie.i
Jiave shown a decidedly stronger tone
ind sales have increased proportionately.
Buyers Are TSunifroua .
A. G. Teepe of the' A. C. Tecpe com
pany, 264 Htark street, says; "I have tin
difficulty in finding buyers for homes of
the better class and our- office ha
made a number of sales since. January
1. the prices ranging from $3500 tft SG00O. .
I could sell more homes o this class If
I could get them, but owners, aro in no
hurry to part with their properties. S
faras I can see the outlook for exlrcmu
activity Is decidedly good."
The influenza epidemic is. of course.
Interfering to some extent. Some buyers
are rather slow about visiting properties
for fear they may encounter the dread '
disease and it few owners are 'reluctant
about having prospective ' buyers shown
through their properties for the nnin
reason. But ori thp wholo the conditions
arc very promising tor an active market.
which Is taken to mean that in spite or
the cancellation of the ship building pro
gram Portland is to retain the vast ma-"
jority of her new citizens. twhd will en
gage In the many new Industries which
will spring up to care for Portland
after-the-war prosperity.
