selling of real estate in the City of Portland, and is met from da to day j. ;
Ly different people who exclaim: . , ' - r , I ; r
"Oh!. I ' wish I had takea your advice and bought property two or v'.
three years ago, etc." ' ,
Few of our oldest citizens have realized or yet realize what a Kreat
city Portland is destined to be. They overlook the fact that Portland has I
been kept in the background for many years; that four immense counties of j r -
the state were not touched by railroad transportation; that is to say, that ii; j

: The climatic conditions and the fertility of the soil in Central Oregon'
are certainly as good, if not better, than in those states. Given transporta

while Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, 'Massachusetts.
Maryland, w liampslilre, Ithodv Island, ew Jersey, Vermont and
Maine combined, having 30 square, miles less than the State of Oregon,
have a population of 12,090,430. '

There will be twenty-six miles of nspunlt pmenieut, fifty-two miles
