"Empire Building" By Francis
Xvnde. This is a strong, vigorous story
it the gigantic struggles of the pioneer
(railroad builders, into the rich mining
district of the southwest, with their tre
mendous obstacles to overcome. It is
a story, not unusual In real Ufa aa It
waa lived In those strenuous days when
the railroad president, the chief en
gineer, the contractors and the great
body of workmen, were feeling their
way Into a new country, and amidst new
conditions, and a general distrust, and
want of confidence waa abroad. Stuart
Ford, the division superintendent of the
Pacific Southwestern, Is the hero of the
book and Is quite typical of the young
men who here and there In the history
of the building of the western empire
stand out In their monumental strength
.and foreslaht. as the pillars of that em
pire building period.' Whether or not
the author had in mind any ona special
person, he nevertheless has made this
?oung division superintendent a proto
ype of several who might come to the
mind of any one familiar with the his
tory or railroad bulldlne- In the west
A yotrng man full of force and de
termination put In an unfavorable light
and at great disadvantage by the jeal
ousy of the general manager, and the
contractors, snd worst of all. disliked
by the president of the road whose niece

The author save: "Haa civilised hu
manity. In the plentltude of twentieth
century sophistication, fully determined
that there is no such thing as luck?
that all things are ordered. If not by

Ford waa a firm believer In the luck of
the -energetic; . which Is to say that he
regarded obstacles only as thinga to be
beaten down and abolished." And dur
ing his service with the Paclfto South-
western he had plenty of opportunity to
test the kind of luck he believed in.
Mr. Lynde's narrative style Is excel
lent. He Is familiar, to an unusual de
gree, with railroad, and engineering
phraseology, and he keeps his story go

well sustained, to the very end. The

but the most beautiful part of the entire 1,100
crea. Juat north of Sandy Road and west of the
hill, still nearer the city than any part of tha park
heretofore placed on the market, lying at the foot
of the Alameda Terrace and along its crest, this
la unquestionably the most magnificent lot of
building aites anywhere in the city of Portland.
Within five yean, possibly less, lots in this part
of Rose City Park will be scarce at $2,000 each.
An experienced real estate man made this state
ment Friday and he does not own a foot of land
in Rose City Park. That he will, is a matter
of a few days only. The winding streets and
lanes in this new portion add immensely to its
natural beauty. Building sites are ideally located.
On the terrace they overlook the balance of the
park and the city, while at the foot of the ter
race, on the gradual slope, are scores of the
choicest spots in the northwest No steep grades
have been allowed to the crest of the Alameda
Terrace. Wistaria avenue comes down from the
school house site at a 5 per cent grade, while
none of the lanes connecting the upper and
lower property are steeper than 8 per cent The
natural lay of the land has determined the right
of way for these lanes. They wind about grace
fully and provide many delightfully situated cor
ner building sites. The same fair prices will be
placed on these lots as on the ones that have al
ready been sold, while the terms will be easy
enough to allow anybody to buy. It might be
a splendid idea for you to ride out to Rose City
Park any day and see this new section. If yon
will call at our office we will be pleased to have -one
of our representatives accompany you.
