PORTLAND'S NEAREST OCEAN BEACH
No trouble to reach DELAURA BEACH from Port
land. Why not buy and build a Summer home in
Delaura Beach?. Lets will never be as cheap as they
are right now. DELAURA BEACH' IS THE NEAR
EST OCEAN BEACH to the great inland Northwest.
Only 107 miles from Portland not as the crow flies,
as some advertise but by a railroad that is actually
built and operated. Delaura has the best beach, the
best building sites, and the best water, and the only
beach resort that has fresh-water lakes that abound
with fish. Lots are selling now from $125.00 up,

Difference of Opinion in Location
of Madison-Street Structure
and Subway.
"With the constant growth of popu
lation on the East Side the question of
rapid transit across the Willamette River
becomes daily of pressing Importance."
declared M. G. Munly, president of the
North East Side Improvement Associa
tion. Mr. Munly was not speaking par
ticularly of the North East Side section,
but for the whole of the city on the east
aide of the Willamette River. "Taken as
a whole It Is a great problem that must
be solved. North of Sullivan's Gulch to
the Columbia River, which includes one
of the most promising: sections that is
growing- by leaps and bounds, there ts
the narrow railroad bridge and the two
ferries at Alblna. More than 50.000 peo
ple reside in that district.
Mr. Munly contends for a high br'dce
at Hancock street, while others want it
further north. At the south end on the
East Side there comes demand for a new
bridge to replace Madison bridge. The
push clubs have gone on the supposition
that it would be better to rebuild it oif
present site, but A. Van Hoomissen,
a resident, has been working for two
years on a scheme to have a new bridge
built three blocks south of the present
structure, on East Mill and Second
streets on the East Side and Clay and,
Eront on the West Side. He proposes
that it shall be 40 feet higher than the
present Madison bridge, so that all ordi
nary river steamers could pass under
it.
Mr. Van Hoomissen's plan looks good
to quite a number, but it means a bis
tight over location. The new location
would carry the bridge over the tracks
of the Southern Pacific and O. W. P.
companies' tracks, but it would leave
the Oregon City and Estacada branches
of the O. W. P- without easy means for
reaching the West Side, as the tracks
of these lines would be 30 or 40 feet
below the East Side approach, which
could be overcome only at great ex
pense. However, these lines could
reach the bridge by building an ele
vated track from the south. There
would be a flsht with the property
owners on Hawthorne avenue, and ad
jacent streets, as well as with those
on the West Side. Mr. Van Hoomissen
has secured 600 signatures to his peti
tion, and it is reported that Mayor
Lane favors a change from the present
location.
The East Side in general does not
take kindly to the subway idea as a
substitute for either the high bridge
north of Sullivan's Gulch, or to replace
the Madison bridge, but have no ob
jections to the building of a subway
Ht some central point, say East Stark
street, for the use of the streetcars.
It will be seen that the question of
rapid transit over the Willamette Riv
er, as Judge Munly says, is the im
portant question before the people of
the whole city.
The Increased traffic over Morrison
bridge again brings forward the ques
tion of a double deck on East Morrison
street. Every month the travel shows
Increase, which is interrupted by pass
ing trains. It is conceded that sooner
or later this double deck must be built.
The improvement of Belmont and the
filling of East Alder streets will tend
to divert travel from East Morrison
street, but nothing can take away from
it Its central position.
The Southern Pacific Company Is
gathering iron for its bridge across
the Willamette at Oswego, and whor,
this bridge is built it will mean that
nearly double the number of trains
will pass along East First street, mak
ing accidents constantly imminent at
both Hawthorne avenue and East Mor
rison street, as long as there are grade
crossings. Mr. Van Hoomissen's pro
posed new location for the new bridge
has the merit of being above all car

ACRE TRACTS
Are Attracting Conservative Investors
On the Salem Electric Line. A Thirty
Minute Ride From Heart of the City ;
Unsurpassed for raising all kiuds of fruits, vegetables and berries. The ground
is so varied that Ave can please anyone who desires the best of soil and location."
The tract abounds in living springs and ever-running creeks and brooks. For
a suburban home, this place cannot be excelled, and for those desiring wooded
nooks or private parks, it is superb. There is more eordwood on some acres
than wc are asking for the ground. Remember, that this tract is at Metzger
Station, right along the electric road, and only a short distance from the city,
making it the most desirable suburban residence district anywhere around Port
land. Get on the cars today at Front and Jefferson streets, and enjoy a ride to
one of the most delightful spots in Oregon. Buy au acre if the property is as we
describe it. If we have made a single exaggeration, don't purchase. Act quick
ly, as these choice acres won't last long.

HERMAN METZGER, Owner
V If you want the right thing in the right place, at the right time, at the right price and
on terms that make the proposition comfortable, investigate our properties.
We name a price today that offers us a fair profit or the cost of land today. We are
not anticipating future values the future value is yours; the profit is yours.
Our company's plans will continue it the largest owner of Walnut and Cherry prop
erties in Oregon. It's a favor to yon, that you do not pay for, to have us offer these
tracts at price and terms we make. .
, . You secure all there is in it, you, pay no premium, you secure perfect conditions, as
they should be; you make ho experiment, no gamble, no guessing. You locate right and
y ou secure for 4, years (longer if you like) the same care and attention that the company
gives to its own holdings.
You select out of a 400-acre grove of rolling land; on the crest of a hill, 700 to 900 feet
elevation, commanding a view of practically the entire Willamette Valley, all the snow
capped mountains, the Coast and Cascade ranges. A most exceptional site for a profit
able home. "
Just eliminate all the features of profit in growing and marketing of crops and our
properties will surely double in value before the 4-year period of care is over.
We deliver you a 4-year grove at less price than you can purchase the implanted walnut
land in California. Conditions of values in California will prevail with4 us in Oregon
within the next few years. You cannot get away from that fact; you can safely bank on that.
No city or town man can afford to go into walnuts on independent lines; you cannot do it
right, you cannot do it safe, you cannot do it except at great cost. Now then, if our com?
pany is reliable, if our location is correct, if our price is right, if our contract is good, why
not investigate? ' Why not look into every feature from our company down to the deep
soil in which we plant and grow the tree.
Terms of $100 cash and $15 per month on each 5-acre tract; we take care of it for 4 years.
Properties in Yamhill County. We go any" day or every day, leaving at 7:40 A. M,,
returning at 5:40 P. M. -

tracks.
Agitation for a bridge across Sulli
van's Gulch, on East Twelfth street, to
replace the present wooden roadway,
has been started. This bridge wus
built 14 years ago, and will soon have
to be replaced.
Clubhouse for Railroad Men.
The Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company has started work on a one
story frame building, on Michigan and
Killingsworth avenue, for a clubhouse
for streetcar men. The permit calls for
a building costing $3500. This building
is the first of several the company will
build. One will be built on the grounds
near the golf links in Sellwood and
another at jthe East Twenty-eighth street
carbarn.
Completing Church Plans.
Architect Fabre is completing plans
for the new St. Francis Church, which
will occupy the half block on East
Pine between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets. These plans are being worked
out according to the ideas and sugges
tions of Rev. J. H. Black, the pastor,
who recently visited Rome and many
cities of the old world. While abroad
Father Black gathered ideas for his
new church and these are being incor
porated. Father Black does not expect
to live to see the Church completed, as
it will be started along the lines of the
old churches which were begun many
years ago and are still being added to.
The church will be completed as far
as it goes, but Father Black's idea is
to have the decorations go forward
until it is adorned within and without
by many works of art. which cannot be
produced in a few years. Tn the end
the church may cost over $300,000, but
the shell or walls of the church, with
such finishing as arc now needed, will
not cost a third of that amount. Father
Black visited St. Peter's Church in
Rome and found it unfinished, although
it lias been building for centuries.
Decorations are being added. And on
this plan Father Black proposes to
erect St. Francis Church, so that the
work of completion and decoration may
go on Indefinitely, thus making It a
credit to Portland as a work of art.

PORTLAND,THE NEW YORK OF THE PACIFIC
The reproduction of this picture is suggested by Dr. Stratum's brilliaut essay on Portland, which secured the first prize of .$1000.00 ot'tcrod by the
Commercial Club. It certainly verifies Mr. Killingsworth 's predictions made from time to time during the past 20 yeirrs and which were considered
visionary by some well-meaning tbougn weak-kneed -citizens or Oregon,
John Jacob Aetor In 1783 was the
most far-seeing man of his times. He
sold good rental property in New York
City for 8000 to purchase 80 lots In
the suburbs at the Bowery. His friends
laughed at him for giving up his In
come for nonproductive lots. All the
same he continued buying, placing all
his earnings in what then seemed
worthless outside property. In a few
years he became wealthy. Moral: As
tor's heirs hold today the world's rec
ord in valuable real estate. The aame
thtnir will repeated la the purchane
of land betweea tbe riven. This more
than beautiful tableland, having a
gradual slope toward both rivers,
above all possible floods, thereby mak
ing it the moat perfect natural site for
a city la tbe world. Reader, this In
formation is published at no small ex
pense, to stir you Into thought and
then action. Never again say you had
no chance or opportunity of becoming
wealthy. Now is the time to follow
Astor' lead, for as certain as the law
of gravitation so certain will Portland
be the- New York of the Pacific, be
builded like New York of the Atlantic,
betwcea the rlvera. Upon this battle
ground will be successfully fought the
building of the metropolis of the Pa
cific. The portrait over New York City
is that of John Jacob Astor, the other
In all modesty, that of W. M. Killings
worth, viewing the future Portland.
Portland must and is compelled to use
tilts matchless foundation, having no
room elsewhere to expand and grow.
A closing word of advice. Reader,
notice carefully Walaat Park's location
on the map, then do yourself -and fam
ily or prospective .wife or husband-a
kindness by at once securing a home
In Walnut Park before values ever
lastingly advance beyond your reach.
Remember this fact, opportunity l
now wlnklna; at you. for never before
in your life could you secure for only
$-5 a front foot the best and the most
healthful residence property In a city
having the best car service, only IS
minutes' ride to the now business cen
ter, the center each day ajrowlus; closer
to your Investment. This matchless
site is being dotted with beautiful
homes. 60.000 feet of cement sidewalks
and curbs are being laid, streets are
parked; also, 15-foot alleys, thereby
giving to all inside lots the conven
ience of corners.. Building restriction
of course. (ood homes or none. No
language can tell you of the beauties
of Walnut Park. Tt has no equal, hence
no rival. In the City of Portland. To
prove this bold statement, take any
"U" car going north. It will land you
In Walnut Park, the highest elevated
spot of around between the rivers.
Then feast your eyes on Oregon's mag
nificent, soul-inspiring s:m-ry rivers,
mountains and snow -capped sentinels.
