Nowhere on dod's green foot stool has nature been bo lavish with her benefloent gifts. Messed with n climate Hint Is Incomparable In any clime, It Is a real pleasure just to bo alive In this glorious lo cality. As n magnificent slto for residences It has no equal. A scenic beauty Is hem presented that would make the famed wonders of the Alps palo In comparison. The snow. crowned mountains In the distance rise In their grandeur, seemingly to almost commune with the worlds on high, In their robes of white. Tlio lnndscupo Is plcturcsquo In the extreme.

Tho harbor leading Into the great City of Portland laps Its shores, nnd huge oewtn vessels aro con tinually pnsslng up nnd down Its entire length. Its shipping facilities can not be excelled, either by water or by rail, Thren railways cnclrclo the entire lower Pe ninsula, the Northern I'aolflo lino traverses through tho cinlur, nnd freight nnd passenger service Is obtained on tho Portland (leneral Klectrlc Hallway line, which furnishes a rapid inoilo or transit to nnd from Ht.

AN ORIENTAL GARDEN. It la Not Planted With Flowers, and It Hat No Lawns.
