There is nothing in the vicinity of Portland that can be compared with Portland Heights or Council Crest. The natural beauty of the place, combined with the magnificent view of the whole surround ing country, Including the city of Portland, the Willamette and Columbia, rivers and the several snow-capped mountains in the background, impart a dignity and splendor unsurpassed anywhere in the whole world. The elevation is sufficient to raise it above the dust snd smoke of a large city, giving abundance of pure air laden with health giving, balmy freshness. Its accessibility to the business district, together with the excellent car service, make it one of the most desirable residence sections of the city. All history proves that heights in or near any large city always become the most valuable and exclusive residence section of that city, and each passing day is proving that Portland Heights is no exception to this rule. It is only a question of a few months before property on the Heights will increase enormously in value. The future of Portland was never so bright as now, it is destined to be a GREAT CITY.
