Where seven railroads meet the ocean-going vessels of the World there must be a great business center.
There is no exception to this rule. The Willamette River bounds University Park on the south and west, the
Columbia River on the north, with four transcontinental and three interstate railroads centering in its midst

Read the Advertisements
Read the advertisements of other dealers. They all say the best that can be
truthfully said about the property they have for sale. You will observe that about
all they have to say is a "charming view and a quiet place to sleep." There are
about a million quiet places around Portland to sleep and nearly all of them have
delightful scenery, but there is only one Peninsula, and University Park is its cen
ter. True, the music of the band-saws, the song of the planers, the bump of the
switch-engine, the gang of the steamers, the hum of the spindles and the Rah, Rah,
Rah! of the college boys disturb our slumber, but the jingle of the golden twenties
sweeten our dreams.
Railroads Make Cities
Railroads made St. Paul, Minn., 250,000 population, then centered at a point
12 miles away and made Minneapolis 300,000 population. Railroads formed a center
almost in the front doors of Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, and like magic sprang
up Indianapolis, 150.000 population. At the junction of three railroads in an
open, bleak prairie, Des Moines grew to 150,000 population. The location of every
inland populous city was determined by the advent of railroads. If railroads have
done such wonderful things without water transportation, what will railroads do
for University Park, with the assistance of two great navigable rivers? To me, it
is incomprehensible why so many, apparently, sensible persons allow this oppor
tunity to pass. .
RAILROADS
The Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific and Great Northerns-four, great transcontinental railroadscross, re
cross and surround University Park. The Portland & Seattle, Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company and the Oregon &
Washington Railroad also have lines projected through University Park These railroads are main lines and not branch lines.
Other Advantages
University Park is no outside, wildcat spec
ulation. It has been within the city boundaries
of Portland for fourteen years. It has Bull Run
water, a 30-acre public park owned and kept by
the city, city schools, quick transportation, elec
tric arc street lights, graded streets, cement
walks, a building restriction, three systems of
wide boulevards, view of Cascade and Coast
Ranges of mountains, view of four perpetually
snow-covered mountains, high, level and sightly,
and the seat of Columbia University. Capital
ists lend money freely on University Park lot
for building purposes.
Study the Picture
Look at the location of the navigable rivers;
look at the location of the railroad and proposed
. railroads; look at the streetcar lines; look at the
factory districts, north, south and west; look
at the boulevards and wide streets; see where
the drydocks, stockyards, packing-houses, lum
ber mills and the Columbia University are lo
cated. Notice the location of the proposed Har
riman tunnel. See where McKenna Junction
and Maegly Junction are located. You. know
that it will be only a question of a short time till
this condition will make the cheapest lot in Uni
versity Park worth $100 per front foot -$500
per front foot in 10 years need not surprise you.
SHOWING UNIVERSITY PARK AND VICiNllY
Safe and Sane
If you will build a five or six-room cottage on any lot in University Park it
will rent for enough to net you 7 per cent above taxes and insurance. One hundred
more such cottages pould be rented within 30 days. This is a rare opportunity to
make a safe and sane interest-paying investment in property which is likely to
double and treble in value within a few years. When your money is invested in
such property the bank cashier can't gamble it away in the stock market. Any
property that will pay such interest through rentals is a safe and sane investment.
REMEMBER!
Don't forget that lots at St. Johns advanced from $100 each to $10,000 each
since 1901, and that advance was made on the strength of only one freight spur or
branch railroad. St. Johns today has no main line, and yet there are lots in St.
Johns that cannot be bought for less than $10,000 that sold in 1901 for less than
$100. Remember also, that in 1900 and 1901 1 foretold, through the columns of this
paper, what would take place in St. Johns, and jthose who followed my advice made
big fortunes. Those who will follow my advice now and buy a few lots at Univer
sity Park within the next 60 days will make big profits within the next three years.
PRICES AND TERMS
Prices range from $175 per lot 25x100 feet to $250. Terms : Five per cent cash down, balance $5 per lot monthly. No interest
on deferred payments if paid on or before due. These prices will be advanced $25 per lot December 1, 1906. Buy four lots
before Dec. 1, pay down $40 and get the $100 advance. Make $100 on an investment of $40. Isn't that good enough for anybody?
