SPECULATION Is for the Man Who Can Afford to LoseThe Wise Man Seeks Investment -Not Speculation. We believe Laurelhurst offers the best opportunity for investment in Portland. Because it is so close in to the business and shopping district of .the city, being only 15 minutes' ride and on two car lines. Too much importance cannot be laid on the fact that every improvement is to be found in Laurelhurst now. If all these improvements were not put in by the original owners there would be years of waiting before they could be finally secured. Take for example the above picture. All improvements in and strictly enforced building restrictions stamp Laurelhurst a magnificent residence section. People are not afraid to put their money into fine homes, for they know they are protected by the building restriction. Consequently Laurelhurst is a safe in vestment. On the other hand, the other picture gives an idea of the property with no building restriction and no improvements. Here is a well-populated district which has been and still is fighting, pleading, petitioning and demanding the improvements that cannot come for months b ecause there are petitions from many other districts on file ahead of them and each must come in turn. And so people hesitate to build fine homes here. In the picture one has done it, and as there are no building restrictions, stores and shacks have built in around. The property is ab solutely ruined for residence purposes for all time to come, because the improvements and building restrictions were not made by the original owners. People coming out from town see the class of buildings and note the lack of improvements and return to town. Now when the improvements are finally made here, and they will, of course, eventually come, they will have to be paid for and the property cannot stand it. As long as these improvements have to be paid for some time, why not purchase in a district that has them all in the first place? In this case you not alone - enjoy them from the start, but the future of your property is assured.

He has at Othello 2600 acres of rich land which is to be set out almost entirely to apples. The principal varieties will be winesaps anl Jonathans. The entire tract will be irrigated. "Wells are now being sunk to a. depth of several hundred feet and water In large quanti ties has been secured. The gasoline pumping system Is being installed. The Irrigation system la owned exclusively by the Improvement company which la sell ing the water rights in connection with the land. Most of the land has hereto fore been used for wheatgrowing, and It Is said to resemble that at Wenatchee, where the conditions for raising apples by means of irrigation are practically perfect.

District Wltli Population of Close to 20,000 Likely to Become Corporate-Body This Fall. On the Mt. Scott line, comprising a district in which there are 20.000 people, where many new homes and business buildings are being erected, a movement has been started to take in the settled districts on the south and east of the present city boundaries at the coming general election. On the south the set tled district is between Woodstock and Johnson Creek, and east of Gray's Cross ing beyond Lents. Lents Is a center of much importance. Eastward and south settlements have extended. The Westmoreland Improve ment Association has initiated a move ment to annex all this territory, and has a committee at work. These outlying districts need school - facilities, and this will be used as an argument for annexa tion. At Lents a new and modern school house is to be erected, although that sec tion is not a part of the city. At Wood stock a modern ten-room schoolhouse is projected. But toward the south for a distance of two miles there are many people who have no school facilities, and the distance is too far to send children to Woodstock. The territory between Woodstock and Lents Is growing rap idly. Sixty lots have been contracted for In Menlow Park, near Lents, through Copperthwalte & Christensen.
