Si INVEST YOUR MONEY AT HOME THIS greatest opportunity for investment in real estate lies right at your door. The one biggest prospect for general ndvnneo in realtv values in the entire west is on Coos Bay. Wherever' you find a deep water harbor at the terminus of a great trans continental railroad system, you will find a great city. Coos .Bay is such a deep water harbor; the railroad is now building here. Furthermore Coos Bay is more fa vorably situated than most seaports in that it is the only practicable one along a coast line 700 miles long. Head the United States government reports on Coos Bay if you want reliable information that is at the same time thoroughly optimistic. And then remember that you can buy a fifty-foot lot less than one mile from the S. P. station by paying .$25 cash and $10 each month until the purchase price of $300 is paid. It's a real opportunity but like most opportunities so easy to ignore untii they have passed by. Inquire about First Addition to Marshfield at our ollice. We'll furnish you with plat and full informa tion. REYNOLDS DEVELOPMENT CO. COKE BUILDING rm.i PELE PHONE 100 SUIlVI'.r IN ALASKA. LIQUOIt QUKKTION AGITATED I'ogruj.K to imphove.

The wholo universe, tho moving stars, the varying aoasona, tho my rlada of living things, all aro attuned to the harmony of Joy; and tho soul that has come to basic truth has coino to "Joy unspeakablo and full of glory."
