ROSE CITY.
. BEACH
Sixty-four miles west of Portland, -where the foaming Pacific mur
murs its ancient lnllabyto the evergreen coast of Oregon, lies ROSE
CITY BEACH. Midway between Tillamook and Nehalem Bays, this
beautiful ocean resort nestles at the water's edge. No part of the
entire coast region has the advantages offered at this point for a
beach home.
The pround lies nearly level, rising gradually from the water's
edge; There are no swampy lots, neither are there any hill lots. A
light covering of fir and spruce trees affords shade and protection
from the prevailing winds.
The main line of the Pacific Railway & Navigation Company runs
through the tract and gives the best possible transportation facilities.
. ALL LOTS ARE 50x100 and the blocks are 200 feet square, which
gives a great sufficiency of street room and ready access to the beach
from any lot in the tract. Prices are very low, considering the loca
tion of the Propertv-$75 TO 350 PER LOT, ON TERMS OF
10 PER CENT DOWN AND 5 PER CENT PER MONTH.
