The coming of Swift means a new era for Portland a new era for the Peninsula. It is conservatively predicted that 30,000 people will be added to the present population. Streetcar companies foresee the great things and are building. Railroads are rushing to the place. Speculators are securing options on every inch of ground. The telephone companies are getting busy. Homes are springing up like magic Not a hundred people in Portland have any fair con ception of the magnitude of the Swift investment. Property that was once sold for $500 to $1000 a lot along the Halsted-street side of the Union Stockyards in Chicago now brings as much per foot. The coming of such industries as Swift's did it. The lots near Swift's plant that you can now buy for hundreds will be unobtainable for thousands in five years. Such is the history of the locality that a commercial Titan favors. Such is a forecast of Swinton, the lowest priced, most opportune investment in the City of Portland in many years. The man who fails to invest in such a reasonable, attractive and certain proposition will shuffle off this mortal coil no further advanced in this world's prosperity than he is now. Swinton is an investment opportunity for people of quick perceptions, strong, op timistic sentiment and splendid Judgment. That kind of a man never overlooks a good thing. That's what Swinton is. Investigate it this very day. The early selections will make the moBt money. It's a case of act lively SWINTON WILL HAVE Graded streets, City water. Building restrictions, Beautiful shade trees, Columbia Boulevard crossing it, Suburban service via the O. R. & N. Advantage of high elevation and pure air, Everything you could demand for a homesite. Prices are lower than in adjoining property by many hundreds of dollars in some cases. Terms are arranged to accommodate the small' investor. Special inducements are offered to immediate builders, cash purchasers, and 10 per cent discount will be allowed to everybody who buys now, before the tract is opened for sale. Improvement work is progressing rapidly, and this magnificent section of the Love donation land claim is speedily changing from an unimproved tract to a respectable residence district, with enor mous investment possibilities. rm TH embia Irast yompainiy Seventh Floor, Couch Building, 109 Fourth Street COUPON COLUMBIA TRUST CO.

Logan, representing the Third-street playhouse, yeBteraay served notice on the Child Labor Com mission that it was the purpose of the management of the theater to present the Juvenile opera company to the Portland public in accordance with its contract, and beginning next Sunday afternoon.

It was not decided Just what steps should be taken to treat with the situation which has been put up to the labor people by the Baker management. "We have decided to stand behind the Child Labor Commission In its light against the Baker Theater people, and If It becomes necessary, wll carry the case to the Supreme Court In order finallly to test the constitutionality of the act which we allege would be vio lated by the appearance of the Lillipu tian Opera Company," said H. G. Par sons, president of the Federated Trades Council last night. "In dealing with the management of this theater In its announced determination to violate the law. we shall regard each separate act in connection with the performance by the company a separate violation of the law.
