I I TITE MOBXTXO onEGOXTATT. WEDNESDAY, ArRHj 19, 1911. 14 7 SUFFRAGE IS HURT Lady Selborne Letter Acts as Boomerang. CONFESSIONS ARE MADE In Note to London Times Espour of "Votes for Women" Declare Sh Only Borrowed" Name of I.arfjr I.jtton. LONDON-. April 1. Special.) TIiom politician In England who fa rr women's suffrage art exclaiming-. "Save us from our friend." They rec ocnlse that the remarkable actions of prominent sympathisers are puttlna- the cause back. Now that the public has had time to consider the dispute be tween leading London papers like the Times and the "ountea of Selborne. wife of the ex-HlKti Commissioner of Fouth Africa, and daughter of '.he late I .or J Salisbury, the general opinion is that she has dealt a damaging- blow to the raus she espouses. For Lady Selborne wrote to the pa pers statins; she had "received the In closed letter from Lady Constance Lytton" and afrtrmlnr that there was "a certain amount of truth In what she says." The letter defended militant tactics on the around that a suffrage meeting; received no more than a short paragraph on the back sheet of the pipers, while a stone thrown at the Trlme Minister's carriage was given a column on the front page. Ialy Selhorne Confese. When this letter was challenged. Ividv Selborne wrote confessing the letter did not emanate from Lady Ton stance Lytton at all. for she "bor rowed her name for the moment." and she wished to apologise for the "un ceremonious way" In which she did It. That gives the critics of the suffrage movement ample opportunity to dis course on the peculiar ethics of Its ad vocates. To add a touch of comedy to the cir cumstances. Lady Constance Lytton. who has been a meteoric advocate of militant methods and has even worn an axe In her belt at a public meeting, blandly writes accepting responsibility for ths letter, fhous-h shu "did not actually pen It." iJidy Conitanee was one of the suffragettes who were fed forcibly In Hallosray- Jail when they went on a fasting strike. She was first sentenced In her own name, but on be ing released she joined the rioters again, gave the name of Jane 'Wharton and served her sentence out a second time. An thorn Answer Test. To test opinion on the question of women's rights and the chances of suc cess a number of writers have been polled. Israel Zangwilt. Richard TVhttelnc. William de Morgan. F.den T'hllpotts. XV. T. Stead. Arnold Bennett. H. O. Wells, and many others favor the suffrage. Kelfort lias Is against It on the ground of the -liability of women to hvsterla." Ililalre 11.1 loo gives "Fun" as the answer to the question why women should have the vote, and he S'irreets bribery as an alternative to militant methods. Stead thinks the suf frage may be given within three years, and says It will be onjustly due because "women are believed to possess Im mortal souls." I n the other hand an antl-clerlcal warning has been Issued that In health resorts and other centers where the population Is largely made op of wid ows and single women who run apart . ment houses. It will be the local clergy who will sway the electorate and so fasten clericalism upon the neck of England. WELSH MINERS ' WEAKEN Martins Striker 4oinfr Hark to Work. Ierp In DcM. IjONPOV. April 1. IPpectaLI Even , though the Welsh miners and their wives have weakened, under the advice of their leaders. In the strike at Mid r.hondda. they are not thinking of much Coronation celebrations thereabouts. About JO.OOff. all told, have been starv ing for weeks, and. though many are now going back to work. It will take years to repair their local cre.llt. They have been on strike since No vember, and all their sustenance has been the S3 or so a week strike pay from the Miners Federation. It was the stea.lv drain on that national fund that led the organlxers to press the men to accept a compromise. J'.lots have been freqnent during the strike, for both men and women have been bit terly disposed towards strikebreakers. March closed bitterly In Wales, and no money remained for coal. So the strikers have roved the river banks, picking over the heaps of refuse from the mines for bits of fuel. Today they have dug so deeply Into these heaps that the valley Is honeycombed with holes. And now this work Is so fruit less that scores risk life every day. trying to steal a supply from passing freight trains. Within a week six of these raiders slipped and lost a limb by being run over on the railroad. RESERVOIR WORK TO START TTrm to lie fin on Gate-well and Maine At Astoria. ASTORIA. Or, April IS.

Of the 320 acrea platted Into one acre tracts, since January 23. this year, only about 12 .tracts are left, a busi ness of about $75,000 per month being done. Local Investors are rapidly cleaning- up the few remaining tracts. This property beng- put on the mar ket direct by Mrs. Dekum Is netting in acres only a little more than was asked per acre for the whole tract. She has held this tract since 1899. Sell ing In this way, direct from owner to buyer, without cost of syndicating, is a new wrinkle In real estate circles, and the buyer gets the benefit of the situation. This property, syndicated, could not have been put on the market for less than $1200 per acre, and It would have sold slowly, to be sure but sold at those prices. The price, $750 for a full cleared acre, is lower than property adjoining. Acreage values In the rough between Ascot Acres and the city being held at prices varying at from $850 to $2000 per acre In five and 10-acre tracts. When one figures the coet of clearing and 10 per cent for roads In subdivid ing into acre tracts. It Is not so strange that Ascot Acres has been making- such record-breaking sales. The property really has more merit, through Investment and speculative features, for the man who buys on easy terms, than anything on the market that the writer has been able to dis cover In his round of the real estate offices. It is a beautiful drive out to the tract. Buyers are taken out In smoothly-running automobiles via the Madison-street bridge, out Hawthorne avenue and around the base of Mount Tabor on Thorburn avenue. The whole city is In plain view and even the point where the Columbia and Willam ette unite shows up through the deep purple of the hills coming- together there. All about, below Mount Tabor, to the north and east, are new roofs and houses In construction a veritable checkerboard, showing that Portland Is growing directly east faster than ever before. Thence aloner the Base Line, through Montavllla. on East stark street, and tnree mmuies aiier leaving the end of the carline. one lands on the tract. 2 miles farther out and just 7H miles from tbe center or tne Burnsiae bridge. Also. lor rei ference, 1 miles ffom the city limits. On clear days Mount Hood stands up boldly, white and cold. The white tip of Mount St. Helens shows over the blue of the hills to the north. The Wnshlne-ton shore, srreen and covered with fir forests now, but a myriad of inverted lclole cones all vv inter, lies tr the north anil east. One sees at once that this Is Indeed the hiahest Doint on. the Base Line. The acreage slopes gently up to Villa avenue on the north. At Villa avenue a gentle elope goes down the other way to the Columbia River. Villa ave nue Is thus the backbone of the tract and practically the highest point on the Peninsula excepting Mount Tabor and Stony Butte. Ascot Heights might be an appropriate name some uay, when the acres are cut Into lots, for every lot would be a view lot. and all of them, especially those on Villa ave nue, would be lots havine a view over the city an3 western hills, as well as over the Columbia and Washington 6hore. The tract Itself fronts a mile On the Base Line road and runs north mile, and fronts one mile on Villa avenue, an 80-foot boulevard, . now being cut through by the county, and m time destined to be as popular as the Base Line, because the heavy grade around Mount Tabor into the city is avoiaea The contract Is already let for paving Villa avenue to S2d street, 24 miles from the tract. In time the P. R. L. & P. Co. will undoubtedly extend the Montavllla carline out on Villa avenue, In competition with the Mount Hood Electric, as it is the ONLY 80-foot boulevard leading out of the city on the Kast Side. For this reason, acres on Villa avenue In Ascot will some day not far distant, be business lots, for Villa avenue will be the business street of the Greater East Portland the Greater East Portland that will have the Sandy River for its boundary, in Bide of 10 years. Portland WILL be a big city and property 7 miles out in a Dig city is ciose-in properly. Keasey, Humason & Jetfery pre rushing- the development work. The roads now being; graded. o reet wide, show like black streaks across the tract. The soli Is a red-shot gravelly loam. like everything else on the East Side. Acres here and there are being plowed up by owners for planting. Some 20 houses will go up this Spring and Summer. The grade for the Mount Hood Electric Is complete, the rlpht of way fenced In with woven wire. Three stations on tne tract and no acre more than five short blocks-from a station, The car service to this tract will be excellent none better In the city. Thirty minutes will be required to go in to f irst and stark. Electric trains will be running by the middle of the year. Non-stop cars will be run like the St. Johns cars, and the company owns its own right of way to 39th and Uroadway. Thus it win be able to run as fast as It likes In to that point. A common-user-clause with the P. R., L. & P. Co. on Broadway brings the cars Into the city, and they will be temporarily routed over the Burnslde bridge, although a franchise is pending- over the Broadway bridere- on its completion. The time required to reach Ascot Acres by automobile Is 20 minutes from the Chamber of Com merce. One begins to see now why people are buying this acreage. Instead of lots farther out by car. and in the case of St. Johns, further out in miles. The acre with a chance to raise fruit. vegetables and fine lawns, especially a tract of acres laid out like a tract of lots, gets seven out of every ten men who go out to see the tract. The fact that city taxes and assessments are not paid on acreape and the fact that acreage cuts up into lots m tne course of time, appeals to the man who looks to the future. An Ascot acre, after cutting through a half street on the back or each acre and making, by this operation, all streets fio feet wide, will cut up Into six lots 46 2-3x135 feet. and a corner acre on Villa avenue will cut up Into an extra lot. although the price of the acre is the same. The price of Ascot acres Is low. In fact good acreage along the Mt. Hood Electric is scarce. The price will be bound to rise a third or more on the completion of the carline and shrewd investors don't care to dispose of their holdings at present. Most buyers ot Ascot Acres have expressed an inten tion of holding their acreage for two to ten years, and sooner or later Im proving them. This is an unusual con dition in tract properties. The writer Knows or no tract nearby on the ML Hood Electric that can ever be put on the market at the prices Ascot is now selling for. When other tracts do go on the market the prices will be from $400 to $600 per acre higher than As cot, and they will go on fast enough at that figure, as soon as Ascot Acres Is sold ouL Ten days more will close out Ascot Acres the lest of a great addition to lucure .romano. some very Deautnui acres are left, second to none that have been sold, for every acre of Ascot Is a good acre. For the man with a lit tle money the passing of Ascot will be the passing of an opportunity to get the best to be had near Portland in acreage. The future of Ascot Acres is the future of the very best properties in Portland, for it ranks as one of Portland's very best investments. KEASEY CSii iHUHASONJEFFERYj & 232 Chamber of Com.
