The St. Helens improvement
Co. has secured an option on the
72-aere farm known as th old
Downing place near Warren. This
place has 40 acres in cultivation and
the balance in pasture, easily
cleared. It is on the main Port
land rpad, on a milk route, rural
delivery, and telephone. Less than
one mile from a depot and about a
half mile from a first class high
school. An excellent opportunity
for a dairy farm, there being suffi
cient pasture and farm lands to
handle 30 cows. This place ean be
bought for $125 per acre on easy
terms, and 7 per cent interest on
deferred payments. We have also
several other good farm proposi
tions and a number of houses and
lots in St. Helens which can be had
on the easy payment plan.
