Schnabel, delegate to the convention of the American Bar associ ation, held at Boston, in September, ad- dressed the Friday noon meeting of the fieauy Doara. leiung in glowing terms of the prosperity of Eastern cities. Schnabel visited New York, . Philadel phia, Baltimore, Washington and other cities on the Atlantic seaboard, and made several stops in the Middle West. He emphasised the need of developing a patriotic spirit in the West, and de cried the attempts of 'labor to boost wages. 9n this connection he cited the case of an employe in a rolling mill in Pittsburg who was getting $80 per day for doing the same work that Schnabel's uncle did for $25 per day before the war. This, he said, Indicated an evil tendency on the part of workmen in the steel mills. 8HIVEIY OS" CONTBACTS W. B. Snlvely. chairman of the legal committee of the board, explained that where a deed is placed in escrow to be delivered to the purchaser of land upon the payment' of a stated price, the agreement being verbal, the transaction may be terminated at any- time before the actual transfer taxes piace oy erener party to the agreement. The contract not being In .writing invalidates it, in the opinion of the supreme court of Ore gon, according to Shlvely. The agree ment would terminate automatically upon the death of either or tne prin cipals, he said. ' Cranston' Buys Carlton Acreage Carlton; Oct. 4.

Beck, manager of the Beck, bund ing, who has spent the past two months in Cleveland, recuperating. returned to tne city , last week, with many interesting comments on real estate conditions as he observed them in that city and other eastern towns. Cleveland is now en joying an era of unusual development commercially and industrially.1 he says. "Real' estate owners and realtors are meeting -conditions to the best of thelg ability.': said Mr. Beck. "From nine to 12 solid pages of real estate advertis ing in the Sunday papers bear testimony to what is doing.. Everything is pro pitious to the operations of the realty men. The scarcity - of building Construction-during the -war, added to an increase of ' nearly 200,000 population during ' the same - period, together with unprecedented ease of money conditions and earning power of the , people are the basis of. the prosperity in real es tate development. It znakes-4one from Portland feel a f little , envious," added Mr. Beck, "although conditions here; I understand, are improving very rapidly. THOUSANDS HOMELESS ' "The number of family V residences being erected is enormous. Fifteen thousand people are without living quar ters. It is also of interest, at this point of discussion of the proposed amend ments to Portland's housing code, to note that while no such structures are being erecfed here, more apartment houses are being built in Cleveland than before the war: A new $2,000,000 theatre, a 16-story office building, the destruc tion of a theatre built six months ago to make way for an addition to a com blned , bank-office building are features of the new building era. POBTLAXB BENTS LOW . "While money is plentiful, I find loan ing companies are cautious. They will only loan on - the ' basis - of : values of normal times, and: then they make the loans as short as possible and charge 7 and 8 per cent interest. This move on the part of the .bankers will tend to hold down over-speculation. So-far as of fice buildings are concerned,' observed Mr. Beck, "Portland is not " behind in the matter-of service and up-keep, but we are. too easy in the rentals charged. But vacant -office space is-not to be had there. ' ' ,i "I was in one building that had had the same manager for SO years. During that time the elevators had carried 120, 000,000 people without a single accident i was particularly - interested in one phase of the H. C. L. It was that my relatives paid only the same, price for western salmon and halibut that we have to pay here in Portland. The same Is true of California grapes." , , The Dallds Welcomes Building Operations The Dalles, Oct 4. The demand, for business and residence buildings in this city has been, keen for several months, and in spite of extensive construction operations the shortage of housing still presents a serious problem. Among the recent permits were two granted to Mary P. Chaney for residences costing $450Q. Ail of the residences built so far this season have been of good construc tion.

New buUding at Flfteeath and Washington The new Wallingford garage at Fif teenth and Washington streets will be one of the best equipped buildings ; of the. kind in Portland, according to of ficials of the company. It occupies a 750,000 Acres Near ills, Idaho, V . I ion- rroiect Twin Falls. Idaho, Oct 4. Great in terest is. being shown locally in the Bruneau tract near here Which is soon to be opened by I. B. Perrine and a group of eastern capitalists. This tract, the opening of which would be a direct outcome of the new policy of. reclamation of arid lands . advocated in the Mondell bill, Oomprises 750,000 acres of splendid land and it all can be watered easily when the dam has been constructed. This dam is to be at American falls, - Idaho, on the. Snake river. It is thought, that part of the land now in the townsite of American falls may be inundated when-the lake formed by the new dam is realised. The land has a' gentle slope, just .right for Irrigation purposes and the oU is main ly volcanic ash. . . . This tract will be the largest Irrigated area in the world and the dam needed for the irrigation- of the land will be one of the most, wonderful . ever con structed, according to Perrine. Portland Builder Returns From East After Three Years James P. Taylor, formerly ' a well known Portland contractor and builder, has just returned from a three years' stay in the East and Middle West He is accompanied by Mrs. Taylor and their three children and Is making Jils bead' Quarters at 413 Panama building.' "Construction work, is far behind the demand In all sections of the country,' said Taylor in commenting on the east ern situation. "In every city I visited in the East and Middle West during the past year the building, program has taken the lead over-all other activities. The high cost of labor and material is being accepted as a new normal , level and is not deterring building opera tions." Taylor will remain In Portland and business In this city.
