Mrs. Will Patton vUltor Wednesday. o- Chas. K. Hlcka newspaper man and real estate hustler was over from In dependence yeaterday promoting; a plan to organise an association of real estate men to Include all the dealers In realty In Polk and Marlon count!. He met much encourage ment here and It U believed the lead ing dealer will see the benefit that Is sure to accrue from an organisation ot this kind. It It planned to perfect the orranUatlon at a banquet to be giren in thU city about March 15. Discussing the matter yesterday Mr Illcks said: "One of tho urgent needs of the real estate men at this time la the or gaalxatlon of all firms handling real estate Into an association. This mat ter has become more urgent under th new Uw which requires that all agents shall require the listing of property. With th listing of propeerty includ ing exclusive privilege, real estate men will be enabled to work together to greater benefit and profit, and the organization of an association will be Intended to facilitate the matter of all agents working in conjunction and In harmony with each other. 'For instance, if you have property In Polk county you will be enabled through the enlisting of Polk county agents, to find quick sale and at the name time to get the lists of property which are made in your territory from agents who are off at a distance, and which you can handle to a greater ad vantage. Some uniform contract Is required and uniform commissions es tablished, and by coming into an asso ciation this matter can be arranged to the mutual advantage of all. It will prove a protection against the curb atone men and will enable the legal assistance repulred In an atorney to be centered In an association lawyer wno will handle the business for all mem bers at a great saving to them. Among those who are taking In terest in the organization plan are Meyer & Belle and the Olmstead land Company; Meyer & Belle said last evening: "It is a protection to newcomers, who are seeking homes in the Will amette valley to deal with members nt Bimh an association. It goes with out saying that honorable methods onlv will be countenanced by associa tion members. The same protection Is guaranteed to sellers. It will be intended to defeat curbstone men run ning down one section of the country to the benefit of another In which he may have a piece of land to sell. If he Is not a member of the association with an office and property listed as required by the association rules, he cannot find an audience with prospec tive buyers." Colonel Olmstead is enthusiastic re garding the benefits to the country from such an organization of land men. He said: "We are heartily in favor of a real estate organization at this time not onlv for our mutual advantage, but where such organizations have been in .ffert thev have always been the means of developing the country much faster than by any other means. The advantage of such an organ ization to Marion and Polk counties at this time are two numerous to men tion. Salem Statesman.

HOW GERMANY LOOKS AHEAD Value ef Adopting Har Mathod of Planning For Or.at ImpravemanU In tha future Where Guiding Maater Hand Is Needed. When towns are first laid out tome attention should be paid to the natu ral topography, or "ley of the land." Jnat why surveyors or town site pro moters persist In laying out all sites en the checkerboard plan Is ery hard to understand. It cannot be aald In their defense that the "lay of the land" In each and every case demand such treatment or even suggests It If the land Is Bat tbt checkerboard plan Is good if modified by running diagonal avenues from a common center to the four corners. If the land la Tery rough roadways should follow the contour, winding up the canyon sides by easy grades, preeerving all of natural beau ty possible. Germany has a scheme for the de velopment of its towns and cities which has several aumirauie which could be advantageously adopt ed by American towns. "Whoever will visit the city hall of any considerable German city, such as Munich, Cologne, Berlin. Stuttgart, rim. will see hanging In a conspicuous place a map of the city of the future, says a writer in Good Housekeeping. Hnn r this maD is a work of Immense civic Interest and calls forth the collective talent of the entire community-architects, engi neers, land surveyors, builders, as well as of the official municipal staff. The development of the city or town for the next half century or so Is forecast-roads are mapped out; boule vards, open spaces, playgrounds, pub lic parks and gardens are located; pub lic buildings are assigned to their ap .,iot aituatlons. factories and rfl-H-W workshops to ineir prui near river or canal; dwelling houses of varying type, slie. height and struc ture are disposed in streeia, and other formations so as to give di versity of feature amid the unity of the town plan, wnen mis iiu"" ho. hppn comnleted and hns re ceived the approval of the entire com munity, official ana nonoiuciat, . . nim la hunsT ud in the town house, and all builders and land specn- mtnra have to conform to me pmu j their succeeding operations.
