PRICES LOW IX PORTIjAITD
E. J. Daly Compares Homo Property
With That in Vancouver, B. C.
E. J. Daly, the real estate man. has
returned from Vancouver, B. C, more
firmly convinced than ever that Port
land real estate Is far cheaper than
that of other cities in the Pacifio North
west "I find real estate in Vancouver, with
its 100.000 population, as high as In
Portland, with Its 300,000 population,"
stated Mr. Daly. "The highest price
paid for real estate on Hastings street
there is 84008- per front foot, about the
same as the highest price, ever paid In
Portland for like property or for any
property. Of course, they have a depth
e-f 122 feet to their lots there, while
we have but 100 feet here.
"Vancouver Is well built up now.
The Dominion Trust Company, a Van
couver ooncern, la Just" completing a
14-story concrete - block, -covering a
quarter of a block." But with all this.
Vancouver property should not be more
expensive ' or as expensive as Port
land property. The reason is not that
their prices are inflated, but that Port
land prices are far below the average.
"In residence property we find the
same condition ruling. The prevailing
prioes for the best residence properties
is 1160 a front foot, or about the same
as the best properties' of that kind here.
"Vancouver business men could hard
ly believe me when I told them of the
prices ruling in Portland in view of
the Immense difference In population.
The Seattle fair is a dandy. The city
! better lighted than is Portland, the
streets are In much better shape and
all in all we must admit that Seattle
is a beautiful city."
WHEAT YIELD IS LIGHT
. ;
Walla Walla Crop Not Vp to Early
Expectations.
WALLA WALLA, Sept 18, (Special.)
Harvesting In this locality is now
praotlcally completed, although some
few outfits are still at work harvesting
late grain. Contrary to the "current re
ports, the crop did not turn out as well
as anticipated, and though the foothill
farmers harvested a splendid yield, the
farmers owning land in the Eureka
Flat country state that their 'yields
were almost failures. In the light soil
a crop .of 18 bushels to the acre was
considered big for this season, whereas
an average of 25 bushels to the acre
was maintained last year.
It Is estimated that the crop in Walla
Walla County will make about 3.500,000
bushels where it was formerly reported
that it would go above the 6.000,000
mark. The shortage was due, in part,
to the late frosts and also to lack of
sufficient moisture in the lowlands.
Turkey red. wheat proved to be the
best producer this year, and many of
the farmers who had decided to plant
their fields in bluestem this coming
Fall have changed and will sow to the
new variety.
Small ranchers in the higher lands re-port-ate
crops but good ones, though
they claim that crops were damaged to
a certain extent by the late rains In
August
Child Artists' Exhibit.
PARIS. Sept. 18. (Special.) Five or
six thousand pictures annually by adult
painters do not satisfy some people. The
coming Salon d'Automme now makes the
announcement that it will this year call
upon children to contribute. Two rooms
will be set apart for their exhibits in
black and white and in color. .
The management considers that this
Juvenile section will be most original, in
teresting and amusing. The oldest of
these young exhibitors are aged 12. Next
year there may be a salon of infants in
arms.

And let ns show you the many advantages and bright prospects of our acreage.
The Peninsula as shown in the picture,
with University Park as the center, now
has upward of ten thousand population

STUDY THE PICTURE
The industries now actually at work on the Peninsula will by natural
growth, increase their forces to ten thousand hands within the next five
years. Ten thousand employes mean fifty thousand population in 1915.
Fifty thousand population on that limited area means enormous values for
real estate at University Park, the business center of the Peninsula. Don't
fail to notice the location of the mills, factories, docks and railroads with
' reference to University Park as the center. (
STUDY' THE PICTURE
Why are so many persons talking about the Peninsula? Because there are
so many things to attract their attention. If you will study the picture
you will learn why so much is said about the Peninsula. The picture is
drawn to an exact flat scale without contortion or deception. You will ob
serve that University Park has all the best of it because it is in the center.
Lots in the business center of 10,000 population always sell for $100 per
front foot or more. Lots in the business center of 50,000 population always
sell for $1000 per front foot, and other lots in proportion. This is advertis
ing, but advertisements to be effective must tell the truth.
PRICES AND TERMS
At no dther place in the midst of ten thousand population can you buy lots
as cheap as at University Park, because we have not allowed boom prices
to prevail. The control has about passed from us to scattered owners, con
sequently higher prices will soon be the result. We have only a few more
lots at $250 each. Terms 10 per cent down, balance $5 monthly without inter
est to those who pay each and every installment when due or before due. At
no other place on the Peninsula can you buy lots on such easy terms, and
this opportunity is rapidly drawing to a close.
