State Department J i - The new Oregon Real Estate Brokers' law which was adopted i at the last session of the legisla te tare and known as Chapter 277 j as passed through the efforts of . Representative Fred Gorman, of Multnomah county with the back- ing and influence of the Portland , realty board. This law Is similar to the once now in force, la about twenty states with this exception. that Oregon has no examination or qualification text before a license can be granted as several other states have. California examina- ( tlon consist briefly of question- nalre which merely covers .deeds. abstracts, mortgages., loaps and a full- knowledge of the license law. ? ;The Portland realty "board, m, through its. officers, were very , 'desirous of putting ever the quali , flcation test as one of the easen t ' tials for a license through the last legislature. However. thi3 iwas opposed by the representatives and senators from outlying districts who believed this would work a hardship on a number of the coun try boys who ambitions towards the real estate profession i but at which time, he may Bhow cause why a license should be granted. When each license is granted a certificate is mailed which is to be displayed conspicously at the.of-J flee of the licensed broker,- alsoj a pocket card to be carried by the broker or salesman toshcrtv that he is duly licensed in the state of i Oregon to transact real estate! business, .; The original fee for each real I estate brokers license will be $7.50 and the, renewal fee will.be s: If the broker has a license in 1925 he is then exempt and is only rei quired to pay $5 as original fee'.. The state real estate daprtmenH reports 310 more licenses issued this year than ' in the past three; years and'-that the-outlook is that- the coming year will be one of the i biggest in it3 history. .SCENES OF "Y" ACTIVITY COMP ETE Dili S.

In -order to finish that phase of the work while the weath er is still ideal for building, the men at work on the structure con sented to work Saturday afternoon and the completion of the walls is the result.. The base. of, the roof is' nearly 'completely over the gym nasium part of - the building, and the "roofing- is up on top Teady to be laid at the beginning of the week. Even k the roof , over the rest of the jbujldjng isexpected to be begun before the " end or the week, according to the contractor, One of the greatest problems confronting the contractor has been the part of the basement to be used as boifer room, and the swimming pool. Water from un derground springs have gushed up and flooded these parts, and it was a problem to work out a way in which to exclude the water, in order to insure a dry boiler room and a sanitary tank. The prob lem has been solved completely. during the past wepk. The water was pumped completely out "of the boiler room space" and the, room has' been cemented with a water proof composition. This wag; al lowed to settle ajvd drjfcandV.npw. the boiler room is completely .de void of water, and the-work drme is of such an excellent nature that there is no .danger of trouble from that source. ' The contractor de-? Clares that the same method can, be used to keep water from seep ing through into the swimming tank." - !' moved from the -concrete waiisl Crate of hruit rrom Oliver up to the third- tory on-the two q reek Falls District Given sides of the building, and np to the second story on the front wall. On the back wall. a"nd on the sides of the gym division the boards have been removed clear up to the gymnasium roof. It is the hope of the contractor to have the .roqf on, before the ! rain sets in, so that the interior work can be 'carried on uninter- runted. . Irrespective of weather conditions. . 1 . .

Rapid Progress Is Made on New wills Builcmg Rapid progress is being made on the George Wills two-story No Immediate Let-up Is Seen From Permits Issued During September building being constructed on LJb erty street, between State and Ferry. The rough lumber on the first floor has been laid. The concrete walls are up to the first floor. The forms to receive the concrete are completely erected on the two side walls, and over half completed on the front. It is expected that the concrete will be poured in up to the 'second story by the end of the week. The beams to support the second floor have been laid. Unprecedented building activi ties continue throughout the greater part of the country with no. indications of an immediate let-up. September permits and plans filed n 369 leading cities and towns showed a gain of nearly 40 per cent (jver the same month last yeap andr,17 per cent for the nlne-"month3 "period ended Sep tern ber 30. ' While gains are fairly general a somewhat spectacular situation exists in - New ; York ity where there was a 91 per cent "aln over September last year. For He nine months period, however, New York is only 11 per cent ahead of 1924. The South again led all sections of the country. Miami established a record of unusual interest, rank ing eleventh among the cities of the United States in building acti vities since January 1. The four teen principal cities of Florida re ported building permits of ?25, 582,231 for September as against $5,447,341 for the same month last year. Birmingham, Ala., Louisville and several of the larger cities also displayed great activity. The indications seem to be that the ensuing winter will witness a continuation of extensive building operations in many parts of the South. For the first time in the history of the, country, the 25 leading cities "passed the $2,000,000,000 mark for the three-quarters per iod, in Boston more than $10. 009,000 of plans were filed in September, giving that city fifth place with a gain of more than 170 per cent St. Louis. Pitts burgh, Portland, Ore., Kansas City Seattle and Buffalo also reported greatly increased volumes of cur rent building. The situation in the building crafts was reported generally well stabilized. The settlement of the jurisdictional dispute between the international union of bricklayers and piasters was looked upon as an important factor. No acute shortage of labor was reported and employment conditions seem ed to be in a verywholesome con dition. In Florida many contrac tors were working their employees nine and ten hours a day, th; wage scale for skilled mechanics ranging from $12 to $15 a day with time and a half for work in excess of the standard eight-hour work-day. Notwithstanding the abundant construction now in pro gress in Florida contractors there reported that sufficient labor was available. - -r V ;' . ; The pronounced strength in ma terial prices noted in August was not maintained throughout Sept ember. While .many building ma terials maintained the previous month's level a number of items registered: declined of 1 to 3 per cent. - The net effect of the changes was weakness rather than substantial. decline! Last month's strength in soft woods, Douglas fir and Southern pine, was shortlived. ' The earlier part' of September witnessed the continuation of higher levels, but during the' last two weeks of the month price concessions were pro minent. Structural steel prices showed only slightly increased firmness Inquiries and' awards continued (satisfactory and the trade looked for a fairly firm market during the final- quarter of the year. - The Boy Scout movement is not to magnify an organization; or to build an institution; or to dupli cate any other activity for youth; But to. lead boys into useful lives'.
