the North Bank, the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific and the Oregon & Wash
ington are all now building through, under
and around University Park, and will have
their lines completed within the next 18
months. Did you ever before see or read
about such a rush of railroads to one place?

Ab you may have seen in the news col
umns of the dailv oaoers. McKenna

to Puget Sound at the Northern Boundary

Study the Picture
If you will carefully study the picture it
will convey to your mind an idea of the
great possibilities of University Park as a
center of wonderful opportunities. See the
navigable rivers. See the railroads, the
drydock. See the location of Columbia Uni
versity, Columbia Park, factory districts
and boulevards. It has Bull Run water,
electric arc street lights, graded streets,
cement sidewalks; in fact, everything that
goes to make a great city. Prices will be
advanced May 15.
Read the Advertise
ments of Others
Other dealers tell all that can be truth
fully said about their property. A con
venient, quiet place to sleep is about all they
can say. The convenient, quiet places
around Portland for homes are almost un
limited in number. In every direction you'
will find -beautiful home sites. The supply
far exceeds the demand, therefore cannot
soon expect any considerable advance.
There is only one Peninsula, and University
Park is its center. The land on the Penin
sula suitable for business and homes is lim
ited, because cut off by the rivers. The de
mand will soon exceed the supply and there-
. fore a big increase in values must follow.
Prices will be advanced May 15.
