This Is a record price for Holladay avenue property, the same firm having only recently sold a full block on Holladay avenue between East First and East Second for (60.000.

Mr. Hill will hold his purchase with a view to erecting a brick building for. retail stores to accommodate the business of that district, as soon as the War Depart ment gives its approval of the location of the new steel bridge. Mr. Hill said today that he believed, with the build ing of the magnificent high bridge the railroad company has planned, . the most Important business section of the East Side will be built up along Holladay avenue from Adams street to Grand avenue, giving as his reasons the fact that the public will take up its line of travel where it Is least subjected to the annoying waits for draws.

DWELLING TO BE BUILT I KH KITAT COUNTY FOR A. W. NICHOLSON. . II. 1 MOM The Addition with Character. is This cut is to srive you an idea of the general appearance of LAURELHURST, as it will be one year hence, when the streets are all improved and paved with asphalt, and a number of new homes have been built in this beautiful new residence park. There will be no place like LAURELHURST in any of the Pacific Coast cities, because there is not another close-in' tract of land of equal area susceptible of improve ment upon the broad lines we have adopted in making this the most desirable property in Portland. Just think of it! Here is a tract one mile long by three-quarters of a mile in width which will be so improved that the whole of it will present a general appearance similar to the suggestion in the cut. ' Compare this plan of street improvements and land scape gardening with a tract laid out on cold rectangular lines, and you will have no doubt of the value of LAUREL HURST property now and in the future. Go and see LAURELHURST and you will be convinced. Henry Phones: A I A. V. NICHOLSON WILL, BUILD PRETTY BUNGALOW. ' Dwelling Will Be of Rustic Pattern In Sylvan Surroundings of. Klickitat County.
