A $467, a I It is perfectly surprising" the number of people who visited Evanston yesterday; Soma came out of curiosity, others with a desire to see if it were Teally true that a beautiful, close in, lot could be had for $400 on easy installments. Nor was anyone disappointed. d The fact that five lots were sold yesterday and first payments made bears out the statement that EVANSTON DOES REPRESENT MORE THAN USUAL VALUES. Q The above cut shows Francis avenue, now being improved by the city. Evanston lies just to the left and shows the graders at work producing some elegant terraced lots. And the surprising part pf it all is that this property may be had for $400 a lot on monthly payments of $10; but the lot cannot be had after the first of the month, for The Spanton selling contract expires then; whatever property re mains unsold at that time will be withdrawn from the market.

THE SPANTON COMPANY SOLE AGENTS FOR EVANSTON 270 STARK STREET The close-in subdivision of the vast protected district that is bound to be Portland's choicest residence section Foundations are laid, right in the deeds, to protect this district from any influ ence that can hurt it as an exclusive residence neighborhood.

Call and see us about it John W. Cook Manager George K. Clark General Agent 336 Chamber of Commerce Main 5407 A 3252 AGENT ON THE GROUND AFTERNOONS IcIenm Junction The Peninsula Has What the Manufacturer Wants This is the reason why the foundation for so much activity i3 now being laid on the Peninsula, and this is also the reason why we advise you to buy at McKenna Junction now and realize the profit out of the certain advance. On the Peninsula there is not only water and rail, but a vast territory at hand over which grow ing manufacturing plants can be expanded these are the things that appeal to the kings of industry. Menna UNCTION holds a position that cannot help being affected by the earliest) developments following the Swift-Armour packing plant and the extensive railroad building now under way. It therefore offers the most excellent opportunity for the small investor that has occurred on the entire Coast in years. The Peninsula has long been considered the ideal situation for manufacturers of all classes. It holds the logical situation for water shipping to and from all points' inland and on the open water. The obstacle has been the want of better railroad facilities and these are now a reality attracted by the greatest of assured enterprises. DiTORiAL Thunder Some Portland Attractions; Why Large Manufac turing Concerns Are Coming to the Peninsula There are many factors contributing to this admirable situa tion for such plants as Swift & Co. Portland is the largest dis tributing center in the Pacific Northwest. It is located at the foot of a water level route which is now used by three transcontinental railroads. It is at the gateway of and is the trading point for the great Willamette Valley and the vast Columbia basin two agri cultural districts which contain a productive area in the aggregate four times as large as that which is tributary to Puget Sound. Both in available supplies of raw material and in transportation facilities for distributing the manufactured products and massing the raw material, Portland offers to the big packers inducements that are missing from any other location. For these reasons the Swift plant is here and others will follow. Your PPORTUNITY Look around you and see what has occurred at St. Johns, where lots went from $100 to $10,000 in three years. Some men high in railroad circles predict that lots now being offered by us . for $500 will bring $25,000 before five years. What we look for has been repeated over and over again in Kansas City, Chicago, Omaha, Buffalo and Sioux City, etc., and none of the environments of these cities' were started under more promising conditions. The city map will show you how necessary McKenna J unction townsite is to the industrial situation on the Peninsula. McKenna Junction faces Columbia Boulevard at the approach of the tunnel which is to be driven through Dana street under University Park, where the main line of the 0. R. & N. intersects the main line of the Harriman system to the Sound. It is a grade crossing and consequently every train over the Harriman system to the Sound, ' to the stockyards and over the main line of the 0. R. & N., must pass over and stop at McKenna Junction. Here a large tract of land has been reserved for railroad yards and depot tracks to the Swift site are now being put down. Remember that on May 1st $285 lots will be advanced $15 per lot.
