Brock man, secretary of the association, who has opened headquarters at Tacoma, Wash, from which he will -direct ar rangements for the' convention.

Johnson, Oregon real ' estate commis sioner, will report on the benefits of license laws in Eastern - and Middle Western states, as : shown at Chicago, and other speakers will cover -various phases of the convention. The Interstate-Realty, association was organised six years ago at a -meeting of the Northwest realty, men in Port land., Its present membership covers Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, British; Columbia and Alberta. The chief purpose of the organization was to secure the passage of license laws and other , regulatory legislation governing the real estate business. . ' A real estate license law was passed by the Oregon state legislature in 1919 and . has served as a model for similar legislation in Idaho, Montana and Brit ish Columbia. A license lair was passed by the Washington legislature at its last session but was - vetoed by the governor of the state. . The Oregon ' law is de signed to protect the public against dis honest, and incompetent brokers and has worked satisfactorily, according . to , of ficers of the local board.

Gearhart-by-the-Sea is to have hotel accommodations com-j mensurate. with its needs as a summer resort and as the Mecca of tourists over the lower Columbia river highway. The hotel project is being promoted by the Gearhart Hotel . company. Incorpor ated under the laws of Oregon with an authorized capital stock of $400,000. Suc cess of the enterprise Is assured by sub scriptions to more than half of - the stock, now held by about . 100 men and women in various sections of the state. Estimated .cost of building the hotel is $200,000 and furnishings Will cost about $30,000, according to Meier. Ex cavation for the' basement and founda tions already is completed and work on the superstructure has begun. Work will be rushed and It is proposed to have the . main structure under cover by Thanksgiving day. Finishing the in terior will continue through the winter, and it la planned to open the- new hostlery at the beginning of the 1922 re sort season. Officers of the company in charge of construction are J. R. Bowles. J. C Alnsworth and A. J. Lewthwaite. THREE 8TOET BriLDISG Plans for " the : hotel, prepared by Morris Whitehouse," call for a three story frame structure'' with -exterior of cedar shingles, which take a . silvery grey tone after a few months' exposure to the salt air. The building will house 101 sleeping rooms, each equipped with shower and tub bath ; main dining room with a seating capacity for 200 persons; a large open lobby ; glassed in dining room, and a children's dining-room: The basement will contain game rooms for winter sports and summer conven tions and there will be an open lunch room on the side facing the ocean. An attic ' dormitory will provide 'quarters for 60 employes. There will be four spacious stairways, four fire escapes. modern heating plant, refrigerating plant and all the accessories of hotel comfort. - i The Gearhart hotel site - adjoins . the golf -links and is midway between the towering cliffs of Tillamook Head and the broad extjanae of th Columbia river. Itis Just half a mile north of. the site of the old Gearhart hotel, which was de stroyed by fire about six years ago.; It is the center of . the progressive beach settlement which grew up several years ago to tne norm of Seaside. SEMA3n INCREASES ' U Increasing popularity of the Oregon beach resorts necessitated the recent enlargement of -the hotel at Seaside and the new hostlery at Gearhart will aid materially in supplying the constantly Increasing demands of tourist travel. Plans of Julius Meier and his associates call for additional -wings to the hotel structure, now under way which will approximately double its capacity. It is estimated that the growing patronage at the -resorts soon will -tax even this additional space. ' The extent to whichi the public uses the seashore for outing purposes was well illustrated - last Decoration day. when more, than 6000 automobiles vis ited Gearhart and Seaside.' It was es timated that an equal number of . vis itors Journeyed to the two resorts that day py. train, boat and auto stage. The approach' of the 1925 exposition is. another-stimulus for additional hotel accommodations at Oregon resorts, as thousands of Eastern tourists will natur ally want to take a dip in the Pacific ocean before, returning to their homes from Portland. , The popularity of the Columbia Gorge "hotel, recently erected on the upper Columbia river - highway oy oimon &enson, -Visualizes the lm portance'of catering to the automobile tourist. . Ths lower hlptiwav vtTI Vumu ..1. ly well known for Its scenic beauties as the . upper . highway when accommoda tions have been -provided for the auto 1st. That Oregon has sufficient men of means and faith to develop these enterprises speaks commendably for the spirit of tne state. The Gearhart hotel is destined to be a success. The coming of the 1925 exposition will call for additional boeueries and eventually Oregon will be able to offer her playgrounds for -the pleasure or tne eastern tourists. Beaverton Paving ; Project Encroaches , - On Property Eights Beaverton, Aug.' C How would you like to buy a home In a thriving sub urban town, improve it. put in sidewalks.
