ors, graders, men clearing away the trees, and workmen of all kinds have been working night and
day to always keep enough lots, available for sale. Just after the first section had been opened, the
lots were sold 'With amazing rapidity. Then 178 more lots were opened up. These have gone with the
same speed, making it necessary now to open up section just north of Sandy road, comprising 540 lots.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART OF ROSE CITY PARK
Is shown in the above pen and ink sketch, drawn by Fred A.
Routledge on the spot: The homes are added, just to show the
magnificent appearance of this excellent residence section when
it has been improved as it probably will be. The long, graceful
terrace, running all the way through Rose City Park, offers op
portunities for the adornment of grounds and the erection of
homes that will be surpassed nowhere in Portland. The view
shown here was sketched from the intersection of Hillis avenue
and Brazee street. It shows the winding roads, leading up
from Wistaria avenue to the Alameda. The latter will be the
most handsomely appointed boulevard in the, Northwest. Along
its entire length will be scattered the very best of homes. From
every point along ihis thoroughfare will be seen one of the most
inspiring panoramas on the continent. It would be idle to say
that lovers of fine homes will not take advantage of these mag
nificent sites. Below the Alameda and to the northward, there
are still other ideal locations.' These building locations will, un
doubtedly be in greater demand, if that is possible, than any
other part of the tract that has been opened. People are quick ,
to recognize these spots, and scores have been waiting patiently
until this part of the addition is opened, to decide upon their
choice. Many have already spoken for certain lots. The tract,
however, will be ready for sale tomorrow morning. Choose your
homesite early,

FOR THE ROSE FIESTA. AND CONTENTION OF THE
OREGON DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE, JUNE 19-22.
Special Announcement Regarding the New Section
PORTLAND'S ROSE FIESTA PROMISES TO BE ONE OF
THE MOST ELABORATE AFFAIRS OF ITS KIND EVER
ATTEMPTED ON THE PACIFIC COAST. JUNE 18-22.
LOCATION The new section extends from Hillis avenue on the west. to Mishla avenue on the east. It extends north from Sandy Koad to Fremont st. The entire area is about 150 acres. The south
west corner, at the intersection of Sandy Road and Hillis avenue, is only 24 miles from the Burnside bridge. The Rose City Park car line runs along the Southern border. It is less than a 15
minute ride to down town. -
IMPROVEMENTS The improvements in this section will be identical with those in the other sections that have been sold. Streets will be graded. Some of them already have been. Work on
others has commenced. Contracts for cement sidewalks have already been let. Water mains will, be laid in all the streets. The water system is the circulatory kind, admitting of no dead
ends. The principal . improvement feature will be the Alameda. No pains or expense will be spared to make this the best boulevard in the city.
PRICE The prices of lots in this section will be a little higher. The north lots will be sold for $400, increasing to $700 as they approach Sandy Road. These prices are increased for two reasons.
First, because of their more beautiful location; second, because of the constantly increasing demand for just such lots as these are. There are still a few lots remaining in the other two sections.
Our sincere advice to all prospective purchasers of property , in Rose City Park is to take no more chances. Buy 'now to save and make money. .
PROSPECTS There is every indication that the first purchasers in this part of Rose City Bark will build about the finest homes in the entire addition. The opportunities for large, spacious
homes, surrounded by handsomely arranged grounds, are exceptional. This fact is doubly assured by the presence of such an imposing driveway as the Alameda. The rolling terrace affords
unlimited scope for landscape gardening. Look upon it once and you will never forget it. , -

Many Sales to Actual Home-Builders
Encouraging Feature of Real

Residence property on the East Side
continues to attract many buyers.
Every addition . laid out has a dis
tinctive value of its own, and these
additions generally Increase the oppor
tunity of Portland homebuilders.
Bishop William Bell, of Berkeley. Cal..
who was recently In the city, visited
every point, and after careful observa
tion, said:
"I am convinced that Portland will
have 600,000 people within a few years.
I see no evidence of inflated values or
boom here. 1 see only indications of
firm and substantial growth. I have
been In Portland many times, but the
present appearance of things demon
strates the greatness of Portland and
points to a great future for the town."
Whitney L Boise, In his talk before
the United East Side Push Clubs this
week, said:
"Everything Is moving forward in a
most satisfactory manner in Portland.
There is not a sign of faltering. We
have no inflated property, but all is on
a solid, substantial basis, and there
can be no collapse. The bonds ordered
In .the late election will enable us to
fto ahead and make a city of Portland.
We will have the second Bull Run pipe
line bringing In 40,000,000 gallons more
of water dally, and that will meet our
needs for years to come. We cannot
get that line down any too soon. We
shall be short even if we get the pipe
line within two years. We shall need
"it in less time than that"
All over the East Side inside proper
ty Is being built over with residences
costing from $2000 to $10,000 on lots
that bad been vacant. This building
movement extends out to East Forty
ninth, while men of less means go fur
ther out and get less expensive lots.
It is believed that Portland has more
home-owners than any city on the
Coast, and the number of home-owners
is on the Increase. In the business dis
tricts of both East Portland and Alblna
property has advanced several times in
value, and yet. compared to West Side
valuations the same distance from the
river, and considering that $0,000 peo
ple now live on the East Side. It la still
low.

PACKERS HELP THE PEXINSULA
Work Soon to Start on Plant at
Swift's.
"There are no houses for rent at Uni
versity Park," said H. G. Slbray last
week. "People are coming there every
day looking for vacant dwellings but they
are not to be found." -
This is the situation all along the
Peninsula in spite of the great number of
dwellings that have been erected In that
part of the city and the number that
are now under way. More than $200,000
has been expended in- purchasing build
ing lots in. University Park recently, and
the agents say that there is constant
sale. '
Ralls are being lata as, th ft & N.
cut-off on the Troutdale extension around
to the St. Johns spur so that material
can be taken to the site of the Swift
Packing Company, and a big movement
is expected as soon as the first work
Is started on this plant. It Is announced
that active preliminary work will start
within- a few weeks on this plant. The
dredge is practically completed at Sup
pie's boatyard, and will be towed down

While no announcement has been made It
Is generally understood that work on the
O. R. A N. tunnel through the Peninsula
will soon be started. It will pass under

be the sleeping rooms. The entire two
upper floors will be devoted to this pur
pose, and there will be accomodations in
all for 130 men. On these floors two large
rooms will be set aside for shower baths.
The rooms will be furnished by the as
sociation and rented by the month at a
reasonable figure giving an attractive
home for men, among .good influences,
and at reasonable prices.
The structure will be well fitted for
athletic and amusement features. Be
sides the large gymnasium, there will be
bowling alleys, a billlarU-room. handball
courts, and a large plunge. In this de
partment metal lockers will be provided
for 900 men. ' -
The building will be fire proof through
out and all of the offices and apartments
will be large and well furnished. A reception-room
is to be 40x100 feet. In the
basement there will be mechanical-engineering
laboratories and chemical labora
tories. There will also be rooms for the
study of the mechanism of engines and
automobiles, . and facilities for mining
assaying.
. There are several buildings on the site
at Sixth and Taylor streets which will be
removed early in August. As soon as

New Coal Bunkers, . Townstte and
Sewer System Proposed..
.
CENTRALIA, Wash., June 15. The
Northern Pacific will soon commence the
erection of new and more commodious
coal bunkers in this city. For several
years the bunkers now in use have been
entirely Inadequate for the amount of coal
handled In the Centralia yards. The
switch yards also are to be enlarged at

Hood's Sarsaparilla creates an appetite
and aids in the proper assimilation of
food.
For some time I have been conducting a general merchandise business in
Moro, Oregon, with practically no competition. I have built up a trade
of over S90.000 a year, netting me a profit of over 15. This has all
been done with hired help as my time has been devoted to the real estate
business. With little effort it can be made to pay over 20 on an in
vestment of 528,000. If I were going to remain in the mercantile busi
ness, I would stay right here. I have good reasons for telling.
More is the county seat of Sherman
county; is surrounded by a ilea wheat
district and is in the midst of a popula
tion of over 2,500 people. It offers the
best opportunity for a man of energy U
the Korthwest today.
PROPOSITION : My price is the actual invoice cost of the goods in stock at the
time of sale. I will take either cash in full or part Portland or Willamette Valley
real estate or secured notes. I will pay all the expenses of any man who investi
gates and does not find everything as I represent. This is a first class offer and I
know it. It is better than 909b of the oilers you read about. Investigate and
find that I am right.
