On hla Journey down the eoast Mr.

tural world at his home In Santa Rosa
and was greatly impressed with the
successful experiments If Mr. Burbank
with cacti of the thornleas variety.
"If aucceaafully Introduced Into Mex

iest cactus would mean subsistence for
Hundreds of thousands or cattle, ana
the arid wastes of the republlo would
be transformed Into excellent pastures.
The question of whether the Burbank

determined by experiments.

' and while I am In Los Angeles I will
visit, many highly Irrigated farms to
study your methods here. I will aleo
look Into your fruit culture with a view
to Introducing southern California

The ' task of Hating the , asaata and
liabilities of the Oregon Truat at Bar
Inga bank proceeds slowly but steadily
under direction of Becelrer Devlin, as
sisted by Prealdent W. K. Moore and a
force of bank clerks. At the close of
business last , night President Moore
said:
"The officers of the bank feel much
enoouraged over the situation. The
bank's condition tonight looks much bet
ter than they had room to hope for.
Money is coming In very well, and the
prospects are good."
Asked If they were able to set any
date when a report from the receiver
would be made oubllo. he said It would
not be possible tor some days to tell
when the report would be ready. The
work le larger than the receiver expect
ed. Upwards of S.000 notes have to be
checked up, the Interest computed, and
the Indorsements figured out
It will take more time than any
body thought at the beginning. Collec
tion of accounts due Is being pushed as
fast aa they, can be out in shape for
collection. It la said, and no time will be
lost In placing the entire affairs of the
bank In shape for a public statement.
after which the fixing of a date for pay
ment of some portion of money to the
depositors will be considered.
ft is said that Cashier W. C Morris
is expected to arrive at Seattle tomor
row, and he wilt probably come direct
to Portland and land assistance In
straightening- out the accounts. His fa
miliarity with the affairs of the bank
will ensile htm to render Invaluable aid
to the receiver, aa the cashier had
charge of Inumerable details that
were solely within bis province as an
sxecutlve officer.

beautiful location; lands highly improved and furnish a
fine home of highly improved farms.!

CITY
fARK
A lot In Rose City Park cannot burn up.
Once yours, it is yours as long as you see
fit to keep it. Factories, buildings and
homes may burn to the ground, but there
is no power cm earth that can budge a Rose
City Park lot.
A lot In Rose City Park cannot be stolen
from you. There is not a man in the nation
strong enough to carry it from its place.
Burglars cannot steal it and panics cannot
touch it Safety deposit vaults do not com
pare with it at all
The floods cannot wash it away qor can
it be watered by preferred stockholders to
its injury. The recession of the waters
leaves it as it was before the floods came.
It's yours; all yours, to do as you please
with it.
The winds may come and blow away
fences, houses and barns, but a Rose City
Park lot Is as. steadfast as a mountain range.
Nothing is more securely anchored to you
than a pieceof the earth itself. Once placed
by nature it is immovable.
No man can pack a Rose City Park lot
into a grip and take it away with him.
Even a team of elephants cannot unfasten it
from its moorings. See it today and go
back tomorrow and you will always find it
where you left it.
A lot in Rose City Park cannot take
wings unto itself and fly away or legs and
run. It will stay right where it is as long
as you want it to and long after. Other
possessions may become lost or put aside.
Real estate, never. It's there forever.
Stocks and
and none tomorrow:
bonds may rise and fall; wheat, oats, cotton, corn, hops and wool may go up or go down; we may have a jd6 'today "
jmorrow ; our income may be large today and small to morrow : banks, business houses and firms may fail : misfortune or
fortunemayvisit us at anymoment; death mayconie and ill-luck sweep away all that we have; but, is it not a fact that tvhatever may ' , "
happen, a lot in Rose City Park is the same, day after day, incre asing in value and steadily adding to the substantiality of a man's -
assets? Whatever the condition of the money market it is an axiom that is sounding in clarion tones from the. length to the
breadth of the nation that Portland real estate is a gilt edged secu rity that will always net a handsome profit There is one pointed
moral with abundance of significance at the present time: Buy a lot or two in Rose City Park and let the world go its way. You'll win. .
