( ft THE SUNDAY OREGONIAJf, PORTLAND, JULY 10, 1910. THE in which you can purchase property in Bayocean is just fifty-seven miles west of Portland, and is the most perfectly situated property for a Summer beach resort on the entire coast line of America. At the outset the company itself did not fully realize the wonderful possibilities of the property. But as the work of improvement progressed these possibilities became so evident that over one million dollars will be spent before we consider Bayocean complete, making it a resort without equal in all America. WHAT WE GUARANTEE BAYOCEAN WILL BE WHEN COMPLETED. Paved streets with sidewalks on each side, pure mountain water piped to every lot, electric lights and telephone. There will be a magnificent hotel, costing over $350,000. A Bay-side plunge, the largest in the world 500 xlOOO feet, provided with four hundred dressing rooms and two fresh-water plunges. An Ocean-side natatorium, equipped with three hundred dressing-rooms, and an artificially heated sea-water plunge 50x100 feet, showers and tub baths. A theater, well designed and planned to house the highest class amusements. A restaurant cleverly designed to fill the demand for a first-class grill and. cafe. Bayocean Tent City, run on the American plan, nicely floored and walled, electric lighted, heated by stoves and well furnished. Recreation Park, a reservation of twenty-three acres, surrounding a chain of lakes, will be equipped with the highest class of amusements. These things are guaranteed in every contract of sale. Ask to see our contract. It is well worth reading. WHAT IS NOW ACCOMPLISHED AT BAYOCEAN. A Bay boulevard extending over four miles along the Bay beach is now being bulkheaded and filled with our large dredge. The bulkheading is now about one-half completed. About ten acres of recreation park have already) been filled. A large channel, one mile long, seventy-five feet wide, and from ten to fifteen feet deep at low water, will be completed in August. Many streets are already graded. Water is piped from the mountains at the south as far north as 'the hotel site. An electric light plant is now in full operation. Work is progressing on the foundations for Hotel Bayocean, and Hotel Bayocean Annex will shortly be ready to receive guests. Bayocean 's large Tent City has been in operation since July 1. Furthermore, our work for the Summer has scarcely begun. We realize that Bayocean is a large undertaking, and to illustrate in what manner we are prosecuting this work will say that we have at present over $100,000 worth of construction machinery on the ground. Even with the aid of this machinery it will take us about two years, or two and one-half years, to complete Bayocean in all its details, but every property owner in Bayocean is assured next year a place for a Summer home unexcelled in the Northwest. If you want to buy in Bayocean at low prices and on easy terms, you have one week in which to do so. On July 16 the property will be taken off the market. After that date you will have to buy from former purchasers and payj them a profit, as well as making a large cash payment to secure property in this great resort. Be one of those to gain that profit, , F POTTER ALTY 514 Corbett Building, Portland, Or. Kansas City 208 R. A. Long Bldg.
