and yon will know where money is to be made quickly. Blocks 39, 40 and 41, Kenton, and all of
National Addition are but one block west of Derby street, the main business street of Kenton
the official sub-division of the packing-house and manufacturing district of Portland.
Xo buildings of frame construction can be built on Derby street. The four blocks facing
Derby street north of Schofield are restricted to business purposes and fireproof buildings. The
residence portion of Kenton is restricted to residential purposes for a period of twenty-five years.
After November 24, 1914, any kind of business may be transacted in Blocks 39, 40 and 41, Kenton,
and all of National Addition. Until that date there are certain kinds of business that cannot be
carried on in that district.
Your own good judgment will tell you what can be made by an investment in this property, as
2r-
it is the part of Kenton where business can be carried on in frame buildings, and the total business
district of Kenton is restricted to a few blocks.
Look at Kansas City, South Omaha, St. Joe, Fort Worth, or any manufacturing center, and
you will see how real estate values have increased attending their development. The price of lots
advanced from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars in a few years, and they will do
the same thing here. Can you doubt it after seeing the development that has taken place in
Kenton in the lasttwo years, and it is only in its infancy. Don't overlook the fact that this is
the recognized manufacturing center of Portland and the Northwest.
Lots may now be had for $450 and upwards, on terms of 10 per cent down and 2 per cent per
month. Go out and look it over. Take Kenton car from Second and Washington, or call at
the office; auto every 30 minutes.

of the work was completed last year

Work on the 10-mlle strip between

Hardest Werk la Over.
The specifications virtually call for
the construction of an entirely new
double-track railroad as near as pos
sible on the site of the old line and
maintain the old line open for uninter

work now has been completed, and

A double-track roadbed has been built

of smaller bridges will have to be
built. The company Is erecting all per
manent bridges.
"We will have a roadbed second to
none In the L'nlted States." ssld Mr.
Boschke yesterday. "Our tracks will
follow the gradual grade of the river
as near as It Is possible to make It.
All our construction Is of a permanent
nature, and with a double track the
road will be In better condition than
any line that I know of."

The double-tracking: now being don
by the O.-W. K. N. Company is In
keeping with the policy outlined by the
tfarrlman system a year ago to lay
down a second set of rails on the entire
line between Omaha and Portland,
which, with the double-trark line of
the Chicago & Northwestern used be
tween Omsha snd Chicago, will pro
vide a double-track railroad all the
wav from Portland to Chlcairo. The
j line between Troutdale and Bonneville
already has been double-tracked, leav
ing a stretch between Bonneville snd

No definite plans have been made for
double-tracking east of Blalocks. al

KOHUKR CHASE,
t'S Washington Street,
At Meeting Held la New York Re
ccntly Much Unfavorable Com
ment Is Made on Vae of
Names Unauthorized.
The brewers of the United States
have decided not to go Into the hop-.
growing business. The scheme father
ed by E. Clemens Horst to unite the
brewers and Pacific Coast hop men
Into a great hop-producing monopoly
has fallen by the wayside, like so many
other schemes designed to put the
humble hopgrower out of business.
At a meeting of the United States
Brewers' Association, held In New
York City recently, the Horst project
was turned down, as not practical from
a brewer's standpoint. It Is said there
was much unfavorable comment at the
meeting on the manner In which the
names of leading brewers were used
without authority In trying to further
the movement.
Stork Company Favored.
It was Horst's plan to form a stock
company, put Into It his extensive
holdings of hop lands in Oregon and
Washington, and sell the stock, mainly
to the brewers. An Eastern appraisal
company was engaged to set a value on
the Horst property on the Coast. The
company's agents were In this state
not long ago, and It Is said they ap
praised the Horst ranches hero and la
California at H.750,000.
If a hopgrower were disposed to un
load his property, this would no doubt
be a good year to do so, when hop
prices are at a high level. W hether
this view of the matter was taken by
the brewers s not known, but at any
rate they decided that their business
wss to manufacture beer and not to
produce the raw materials.
What Interested them most was the
raising of the standard of these ma
terials, and a definite programme was
formed for work along these lines.
California Has . Station.
. The work has been started In Cali
fornia, where an experiment station
Is to be estabVlshed to Improve the
culture of hops and barley. In this
matter leading growers of the state
are co-operating with the brewers. The
work will be carried on under the
supervision of Government experts,
and the results areexpected to be far
reaching. The California brewers and
growers have raised $10,000 to start
the project. They have given the Gov
ernment a 20-year lease In 75 acres of
fine hop and barley land In the Sacra
mento Valley, and the experiment work
will be started tn the coming Spring.
