been such a money maker for the
small Investors we never could un
derstand why heavy commissions
were paid to agents to come into the
mountains and sell the property. Tne

there are such handsome profits to be
dtrlved there ig always plent yof mon

The real estate game in the north'
west has been handled by many In an
unscrupulous swindling manner. Re
alizing that people had grown tired of
the three Bhell game., the wireleM
graft, and many other that were eo
flagrantly raw that anyone could see
through them the ea3y-money sharks
hit upon land as the theme of their
swindling brains. They have succeed
ed In a remarkable way. 1
Ask any reliable banker fa Portland
how much money la being made by the
members of syndicates who float addi
tions to the city and you will be aston
ished at the statement. Who is pay
ing those profits? ,
Why, the 'boys In La Grande, Baker,
Ashland. Walla Walla and other plac
es who buy town lots from blue prints
and photographs. There Is the great
est chance in the world for the post-
tate shark in the northwest for many'
of them make their money on misrep
resentation and upon fraud.- ,
If Jovlta Heights Is as stated by this
man, who. was ; on 'his ; way home, an
army of small investors have been
faked and ruthlessly swindled "right
here on the coast ' It Is a burning
outrage, but it may teach ns air a
Jeeson that home investments where
we can watch them and take care of
them are .the only ones that count, af
ter all. , . : ; '
