THE MOK.MVG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1910. 9 Three months from today another great sale of hone-site property will have been recorded. Three months from today you will be a richer wise man, or you will be sorry wait and see. Three months from todar 3-ou will have grasped the full import-and sincere meaning of our lresent statement that Eastmoreland is bound to be a high-pressure, quick-action sale.- The history of its price increases will be short, sharp and decisive. 'r ' WHY? Because Eastmoreland prices were made before the final location for Reed "Institute was selected. - This great institution in the heart of Eastmoreland dictates that present prices be placed higher. This is the inevitable result that must follow quickly. If you buy now you win; if you don't you lose. ' We had not hoped to be able to offer Eastmoreland purchasers all of those benefits and material advantages -that will follow in the wake of a world-wide-known institution of educa tion. AVe had hoped to give full value, but not three times full value. Today Eastmoreland stands as an investment unparalleled vibrant with opportunity full of possibility. ' The Reed Institute, greater than any ether factor, will furnish ample justification for the selection of an Eastmoreland home site. The Reed Institute will make money for everyone who invests in this great property for you. The unwise will hang back the wise will come forward, and the unquestioned and mighty increase in . value that is bound to come will either be enjoyed or lost. Don't be a laggard don't be unwise don't be an unbeliever. Come to your inevitable conclusion now NOW, before the full opportunity passes. ' Visit Eastmoreland, and believe in it, because the reverse is impossible; and having come to . believe in the property invest in it. . Today, it is a fact, that Eastmoreland home sites are selling at away below actual value, and this fact means good, hard, cold, round dollars in your pocket.' Examine the property, examine the terms, examine your pocketbook, and connect with seme of this profit. Above all don't forget that Eastmoreland is the coming best residence sec tion of the City of Portland. " COLUMBIA TRUST COMPANY Gentlemen : Send me some additional Eastmoreland reasons why.

COLUMBIA TRUST COMPANY PLAN TO OPEN LAND Warm Springs Indian Reser vation Next Settled., AGITATION NOW ON FOOT Portland Commercial Bodies May inKf ?iep lowara navmg lianas Surveyed and Withdrawn From National Reserve. Portland commercial organizations will bo asked to urge members of the Oregon delegation In Congress to initi ate and support legislation by which lands Included In the Warm Springs Indian reservation shall be thrown open to settlement. Agitation on this subject was started yesterday and Im mediate steps will be taken to enlist the co-operation of the commercial bodies towards having the lands sur veyed and withdrawn from the Na tional reserve. The withdrawal of these lands from the reservation' and throwing them open to actual settlement are regarded essential to the further development of the state. It is contended by those who would have the lands made avail able -to homeseekers that their fur ther retention in the reserve is oper ating only to retard the development of that section of interior Oregon con tiguous to the reservation. Public Land Soon All Gone. As a further argument It is urged that with, the unprecedented movement of Eastern people to this state it will be a matter of only a short time until all available public land will be taken. Before the land included in the reser vation can be thrown open to settle ment, it will be necessary that Con gress enact a law on the subject. This procedure usually requires from two to three years and It is for that rea son the advocates of the plan urge that the movement should be Initiated Immediately. According to the records in the of fice of the Surveyor-General, the Warm Springs reservation embraces 600.000 acres. Of that area 315.860 acres have been surveyed, leaving 28-.140 acres of unsurveyed lands within the boundaries of the reservation. Of the surveyed lands 100.000 acres are tillable, while the remaining 215.860 acres are valu able for grazing. Before the unsurveyed portion of the reservation can be made available for settlement, this area will necessarily have to be surveyed. It is in com pleting the survey of the lands within the reservation and the enactment of legislation by which the entire reser vation can be thrown open to settle ment that considerable time will be required. This suggests that immedi ate steps be taicen to start the pro ceedings. Benefits to Accrue Many. "The benefits of the opening of this Indian reservation wlir' resound more to the business community of Portland than any other place and Its Import ance should not be minimized," said a prominent ' Portland man yesterdav. "There will be a great Influx of set tlement Into that district and so long as the reservation In Its present state remains unopened. It will have a re tarding Influence In the settlement of the adjacent country. "The commercial bodies Interested stjould, I think, commence work at once In a strenuous manner to bring about the opening of this reservation ; the surveying of the lands that have not been surveyed; bring the fmatter before our Senators by resolutions in. public meetings and request our Con gressmen to have the matter brought up before the present Congress to have the unsurveyed lands surveyed and the reservation thrown open to settlement," G.E.WOHKERSMEET Oregon Union to Hold Three Day Session Here.

REPAIRS MADE TOO OFTEN Property Owners Insist Stone Blocks Are Too Costly and That Filled Area Will Not Permit Permanent Work. Opposition to the proposed improve ment of Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, from Front street to Glisan street, has developed on the part of a number of Interested property-owners In that district who have engaged Judge Tanner to represent them legally in a fight against the plan. The various reasons for the opposi tion to the project were explained yes terday by Judge Tanner, as follows: "The City Council Is proposing to es tablish an improvement district which includes Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, from Front street to Northrup street, and from Northrup to Glisan street, and the cross streets, and to assess the costs to the property within the district. The time allowed by the city charter to remonstrae is up on Saturday next, and I am engaged in getting signatures of property-owners in the district to a remonstrance against the proposed improvement, so as to file the same on Saturday. "The proposed district is what Is known as the warehouse district of the city, where the streets are used and are i - - . . . . i -j i. n v. ii i in i it 1 1 n j iracKSi sidetracks, spurs, etc., for accommo- dation of the traffic.

This is objected to by a number of property-owners who believe that the bitulithic or Hassam pavement, which costs about $2 a yard, is more desira ble than the stone-block pavement, which costs, as I am told, about $4 a yard. "Most of the property-owners would be willing, I believe, to have Four teenth street Improved, if it should be undertaken as a separate proposition, but they are decidedly opposed to tak ing on the other streets, thus making an immense district to be improved and paid for at once and making it unneces sarily burdensome. "Another objection to the class of improvement proposed is that a consid erable ftert of these streets are on sawdust-made land and will not af ford a sufficient foundation for any such improvement. "Property-owners in the district will be given a chance to sign t!e remon strance by calling at my office, room 609 Commercial block, any time before Saturday next." t TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAT.
