rrafn for that class of property, con-
Iderlnir what was paid for half-blocks
on EaM Morrison street a year ego,
but the cost of filling up the half

Connection with their valuation.
Under date of November 21, the
Western Klectrlo Company sold to th
Oold Medal Shingl Company half of

of the city.
The four-atory brick buildin of
Paxil n & Orendorff. is considered the
beginning- of the development of th
district. That all the property In the
district Is appreciating; in value rapid
Jv is evidently from the fact that the
Gold Medal Shingle Company was of

fused the offer. It is announced that
.-Fisher, Thorsen & Co., will erect a
three-story reinforced concrete build
ing on their half block In this district
costing JK5.000 In the near future. Tho
fact that the West Side trains will be
routed through the East Side within
about a year, when the Southern Pa

aUtentlon on these vacant blocks.

Ground was broken Wednesday for a
fine brick six-flat building on East
Couch, between Grand avenue and East
Fixth street, to cost J20.000, for Stokes
c Zeller. It is the largest building of
the sort that has been projected on
the East Side for some time. While the
structure has been under consideration
for several months, actual construc

Presidential election . was announced.
The building will be three full stor
ies with a basement, and will be of
brick up to the third story, from which
point it will be rough-cast- It will
have an attractive exterior, and each
l!at will have five rooms, and will be
C5x45. Mr. Zeller said that the very
best material and workmanship will
go Into the structure, for with the rapid
growth of the East Side only first-class
buildings will pay, as the land Is be
coming too valuable for cheap houses.

TO Ult CARE OF A WALNUT ORCHARD AFTER THE FIRST 'FOUR YEARS
Th-i t Is one reason why we picked walnuts to plant at RIVERSIDE ORCHARDS.
After tht ' first four years the walnut tree will take care of itself. There is no pruning
and no sj raying, as the walnut in Oregon is not subject to pests of any kind, and all that
is necessriry is to keep the weeds down from between the trees.
We h we been telling you from time to time o the different qualities necessary to
a successfi ol orchard, and in each case have conclusively shown that i
L la
Possesses abs olutely every quality to make it one of THE BEST INCOME PRODUC
ING dualities in Oregon. The soil is a rich, dark, deep loam, well drained and running
In places aboil i a depth of 62 feet. In fact, situated as RIVERSIDE ORCHARDS is at
the junction a ? the Yamhill and "Willamette Rivers it becomes a veritable delta of tna
NUe our expert on farm lands searched the surrounding country three months before he
found a snot vJihich to his mind, was suitable to make absolutely the best orchard prop
osition in Oie& m. He came to us and said that the BRALY PARM, which is no
RIVERSIDE (ORCHARDS, would cost us from three to four times as much as other
farms that he ha d in mind, but that it was worth it, as in the opinion of every one who
had seen this plat -e or knew of it there was no better garden or orchard site in the world.
From our standpoint of course there would not be the profit in this as there would bo
in the cheaper I'auds, but we determined that whatever we took hold of in this lin
would have to be the best, and that we would use this as a future advertisement for the
firm, and that we vwould buy the best and most expensive, subdivide it and sell it at the
same prices as wa f being charged for inferior and less-desirable orchard lands.
This is what si e have done at RIVERSIDE ORCHARDS.
There'nwer'lhain will be another opportunity to buy another RIVERSIDE OR
CHARDS as low as we are selling five and ten-acre tracts at that place today. VALUES
ARE STEADILY INCREASING ALL OVER OREGON and the Willamette Valley, and
with the completion .of the new electric line to McMinnville, RIVERSIDE ORCHARDS
WILL DOUBLE IN VALUE as it is right on the outskirts of the town.
Each acre at RI VERSIDE ORCHARDS will be planted to SEVENTEEN WAL
NUT TREES, SEVENTEEN PEACH OR CHERRY TREES and SEVENTEEN FIL
BERT TREES. This selection guarantees you an immediate income which will grow
larger and larger eacll year and at maturity will give a steady income of $2000 a year
from a five-acre tract. ' .
Think what an in ome of this amount means to you eight or ten years from now,
think what it means to your children. Buy now and prepare for the future.
It does not take ai iy great amount of cash at the present time to own a RIVER
SIDE ORCHARD tract . Just a small payment down and easy monthly payments will
put you in possession of an income for life.
We invite you to come with us today and inspect RIVERSIDE ORCHARDS
carefully. Take the eaij'y Southern Pacific, train leaving Stark and Fourth at 7:20 A.

streets are to be Improved the coming

Montavllla is one of the most prosper

Bard-Surface District Formed.
After a year of effort, the Piedmont
Push Club has succeeded In forming a
hard-surface Improvement district,
bounded by Wil'lams. Klllingsworth,
Alnsworth and Union avenues. The
streets Inside this district will be Im
proved separately and petitions have
been signed up. Some streets outside
the boundaries will also be Improved In
the same way. It is expected that in
the early part of the coming year work
on some of the streets will be started.
It is proposed to park the streets of
this suburb. There will be 18 feet on
each side for sidewalks and parkways,
leaving 28 feet for the paved street,
the object being to develop a beautiful
residence district. Asphalt has been
decided on as the material for paving
the streets. According to the report
of Chairman George P. Lent, submitted
at the annual, meeting Wednesday
night, the forming of the district has
been brought about only by hard work.
G. YV Ashford, who has circulated most
of the petitions, reported that proper-tv-owners
generally favor hard-surface
pavements, and only two streets
in the district will be left out tem
porarily. He reported opposition came
mainly' from the Piedmont Investment
Company, and. strange to say. Ma.
Ashford said, asphalt was adopted at
Use suggestion of the company.
The cost of the Improvements pro
jected will probably run up to $150.
000 and will take about 18 months to
complete. Some of the streets Improved
with hard-surface material will be ex
tended through Walnut Park, and
there is a movement to Improve all the
streets in this addition with hard-surface
pavements.

BUILD MILi:S OF PAVEMENT
Charter Advisot T Committee Outlines
Needs 4 n East Side.
At the meeting of the East Side Char
ter Advisory Co imlttee Tuesday night,
the question of 1 lard-curfice pavements
was considered a nd the announcement
made that pavemj Jnts of this character
costiwr 81.000,000 wt re either under way or
projected on the t Side.
On Hawthorne ax enue the street will be
paved to Fifty-fifth street, at an estimated
cost of 8200.000 outside of the cost of re
laying the double car tracks, which wll
cost as much more. On Belmont street
an 8S0.000 contract has been let for hard
eurfaoe pavement. Union avenue contract
for Improvement between Holladay ave
nue and Alberta street, nearly two miles,
will cost 8160.000. In North Irvington the
same class of Improvement is being made
at a cost of 8200,000. Also In the Bace
Tract Addition hard-surf so pavements
costing another 8100,000 era being put
down. On Grand avenue, north from
Grand avenue bridge, the street will te
paved to Hancock street at a cost of
840,000, part of the contract having been
let.
These improvements are projected and
in some cases contracts have been let, so
taking into consideration the hard-surface
pavement already down,, the 81.000,
000 estimate Is not too large. It was the
opinion of the committee that suoh im
provements ought to be taken charge of
by the city and maintained as encourage
ment for that kind of work In future.
The committee aleo favored a provision
enabling the city to own a plant so It
could not only repair streets, but lay
them as well, and will endeavor to have
such provision Inserted in the new city
charter.
Work on Two Grange Halls.
J. J. Johnson, master, announced that
work Is being pushed on the addition to
the building of Evening Star Hall on Seo
tion Line road. The foundation has been
completed and work on the frame Is well
along. It is expected to meet In the en
larged hall the first Saturday in Decem
ber. At Lents work on the second story of
the reinforced concrete hall for Lents
Grange is progressing. Walls for tha first
story were finished some time ago. Cost
of this building, when finished, will be
about 85000.

This Is Worth Reading, so Take a
Little Time and Read Every Word of It
You read the newspapers; therefore', you already know
of the coming of Swift & Company to the Peninsula of
Portland. You probably do not realize what it really
means. We will tell you. It means the building of a city .
of from 15,000 to 25,000 people on'and around their town
site, known' as Kenton. Fifteen to twenty-five thousand
people means big prices for real estate in that locality.
SWINTON is located right in the heart of.it. You should
be able to figure from the above what lots will be worthjjn
SWINTON in a' couple of years from now. If you are wise
you will buy just as many lots in SWINTON as you can
carry. There are several reasons for not delaying, the best
of which is that in a couple more weeks there will be no
lots left to buy. Then you will be sore at yourself because
you didn't take this tip.
The first plat of SWINTON contained a little over 600
lots, and was put on the market about eight weeks ago.
It was sold out in six weeks. About two week ago we
opened a second tract of SWINTON containing 400 lots,
and less than half of them now remain unsold. See how
they are going? The reason is that some of the best in
vestors in Portland have visited SWINTON and readily
see what a golden opportunity it is, and, in many cases,
have bought whole blocks.
The prices in SWINTON are lower than any other
property in that locality, taking everything into considera
tion. We have cleaned all the brush off the lots, the streets
are being graded, Bull Run water is being piped to each
lot, and all being paid for by this company. You have
none of it to pay for. Last, but not least,
Swiatoi
Is the Only Restricted Tract
in That Whole Locality
It having a $1500 building restriction, therefore will con
tain the cream of the population of this new town being
created by Swift. There will be no shacks in SWINTON,
which means a big increase in values.
SPECIAL DISCOUNT
For a short time we are offering a 10 per cent discount
off the purchase price of lots in SWINTON, owing to the
fact that we have not been able to improve it as fast as
we are selling it. An extra 5 per cent discount will be
given if you wish to pay cash. Terms, 10 per cent down
and 2 per cent a month if you rather, which gives you a
chance to speculate with our money. Do you ever expect
to get a better opportunity to make easy money?
TO OUT-OF-TOWN PEOPLE
If you are not fortunate enough to be able to see this
property immediately, advise us and we will send you a
map for you to choose from. Every lot in SWINTON is a
good one, no holes or gullies. It is a natural park and has
a gentle slope to the north. The scenery is grand. The
new carline will be built through SWINTON. SWINTON
is but a few blocks from a public school, and just a little
way from the swell section of Piedmont, where lots have
doubled and tripled in value the last few years. IF YOU
SEE IT YOTJ WILL BUY THAT'S SURE.
We are not going to beg you to buy a lot in SWINTON,
because we don't have to. There are too many anxious to
buy. Nor can we send our salesmen after you, because it
keeps them busy handling the many buyers that come to
our offices. If you don't buy in SWINTON it's your loss,
not ours. However, we will be more than pleased to show
you SWINTON. Our automobiles are always ready to
take you out, if you will call at our offices and make the
request. You are under no obligations to buy if it does not
suit you. The main thing for you to do is to go and seo
SWINTON NOW. Next week may be too late. Our offices
will be open all day Sunday and our autos will keep the
road hot between hrere and SWINTON, so you might as
well join the crowd and get in on the best investment ever
offered to the people of the City of Portland.
