A weak party of opposition In San Franolsoo Is responsible for the graft there. "Many of the Democrats elected te office here la days gone by have en tered th Republloan ranks about the time of the expiration of their term.

If organisation Is not a good thing, wny Is tha Republican party organised? If the Republican party Is not made strong by giving the clerkships In the city ball and eourthouas to Its party workers why are thsr no Democrats holding those clerkships? If organisation amounts to nothing, why did Dr. Lane seek a Demo cratlo. partisan nomination twe years ago?. . .

These reasons," together with the fact that the first tract is ABOUT ALL SOLD OUT, account for this emergency. - Blocks 32 to 47 are how ready for sale. This" tract is still NEARER THE HEART OF THE CITY. Therefore, owing to the DEMAND, the PROXIM ITY TO DOWN TOWN, the fact that the STREETCARS WILL REACH THIS POINT SOONER, that the location is more desirable from many other points of view, that the LAND IS PERFECTLY LEVEL, these 178 lots are of- ereajpramxiinJIMlt45a-AND $650 EACH. If the first ROSE CITY PARK tract was worth $400 and $600 per lot, THESE LOTS ARE WORTH $50 MORE. And even at these prices we cannot say how long the lots will last, nor when the demand WILL BE SO BIO that It will be advisable to RAISE THEM STILL HIGHER. The improvements on this tract will be EXACTLY THE SAME AS ON THB OTHER. In fact, men and teams are now at work on CARVEL AND TIL LAMOOK AVENUES; the work has progressed wonderfully, and ; these two streets WILL BE GRADED WITHIN A FEW DAYSr The tract is dear of all , trees and shrubbery and ready for building. The same conditions and restric tions will apply on this tract as applied in the former, which is about all sold. THE TERMS WILL BE THE SAME. : , ROSE CITY PARK becomes a MORE DESIRABLE home location every day; a BETTER INVESTMENT every day; MORE POPULAR every day. Have you been out there yet? Get there EARLY TODAY OR TOMORROW so that' you can make A CHOICE SELECTION FOR YOUR HOME. - Pending further announcements, there will be no advance in prices.
