No undeveloped section of Oregon haa
more coming to It than the Coqullle
valley, SO mile Ions and In plaoea four
mllea wide, traversed by the tumultu
oua but oryatal Coqullle river and
bedded alnuoualy amid the verdant
mountain of the ooaat range.
Throughout Ua entire area nature haa
beatowed rlchea with a bounteoua hand.
With settlement of the waate placee and
the coming of the manufacturer wealth
will aprlng from every rood of earth
The most Important product at pre
ent la lumber. It Is estimated there li
about 29,000,000 feet of atandlng timber
in coos county atone, ana tne greater
part of this la along or adjacent to the
Coqullle. Most or this fine timber Is
fir, but Port Orford cedar Is here In
great quantity. There Is also a large
amount or spruce aiong me coast or an
lacent to the Coqullle river. In the val
ley and low hills there are unnumbered
thousands or reel or ash, maple, myr
tie and laurel timber. Over the once
burnt over district, which la very large,
ana over tne loggea territory, aider l
growing In very dense woods.
Thousands or feet of timber are cu
yearly and rafted down the river, dur
ing tne iiooo season, wnen it haa enougl
current to carry the great logs. A alght
to remember Is that of mammoth fir
logs, many or them measuring 10 to 1
feet In diameter and from 50 to 75 feet
in length.
Coal ranks very close to the lumber
in value, but It may some time excel
the latter. There are several mine In
the near-by mountains that are yielding
large outputs. Tne coal is or rine qual
Ity and Is an excellent furnace fuel
Coal mining has really Just begun, and
as Its development proceeds It prom
ises to yield enormous profits. There
Is a large area where coal Is abundant.
ana it la only waiting to be developed.
Block Ualslng and Dairying.
Stock raising Is to be very Important
along the Conullle In the near future.
for the following reasons: The winters
are always mild, seldom reaching the
freeilng point, with precipitation
enough to keep the feed well nigh the
cattle's chirm as they stand. White
clover Is native here, and everywhere
one looks In the valley, on the hills or
In the ravines, the one thing that meets
the eye everywhere Is clover. There Is
a superabundance of young tree and
brush growth, and this Is the Ideal pas
ture for the goat herds.
Dairying Is an Important occupation.
Oood Jersey cattle yield their owners
from $R0 to 1100 per head per year In
butter fat. Very little hay Is used, be
cause there Is no need for It; the rattle
feed almost the entire year In the clover
fields. Only a month or six weeks In
the winter Is It necessary to feed them.
The climatic conditions are so favor
able as to make the Coqullle valley an
Ideal location ror cneese-maicing.
General Tanning; and Trait.
General farming Is very profitable. It
la an easy matter for an Industrious
fanner to get from 50 to 100 sacks of
potatoes from an acre of ground In one
season. They seldom sell for less than
1H cents per pound. Thla twould pay
for the land In one or two seasons. Corn
does well and It Is cut and made Into
fodder for the cattle. Garden truck of
all kinds does- well and there is always
a ready market for It.
Fruit raising Is fast becoming an lm-i
portant Industry. The low hills are ex
cellent for apples, pears and peaches.
The low ground Is fine for all kinds of
mall fruits and berries. There are
here verv few If any of the pests that
affect the fruit in other localities.
When the heavy timber Is cut away
and the ground cleared, all these hills
will be planted to orchards. Every part
of the ground Is of the finest. The hills
are without rock, therefore easily tilled.
Soma Coqullle Possibilities.
Important occupations which aa yet
are unknown here, but which, aome day,
and that soon, will be moat lucrative,
are paper manufacturing, furniture
manufacturing, brickmaklng and oper
ating woolen mills and canneries.
Large quantities of alder abound
throughout the entire region. This al

A $2,500 HOME?
"If any man Is justified in being extravagant, It Is
In building his home, where he expects to live
for the balance of his days and which he will

If you can, almost anybody in the city of Portland would advise
you to buy a lot and build in Ladd's Addition. Get the consensus of
opinion among disinterested people and you will find that Ladd's
Addition is the favored location. Now, there is a reason for this un
solicited popularity. In fact, there are several reasons. It is not
peculiar that they all center in the exceptionally highly developed
character of the tract; in the superiority, if you please, of this addi
tion over any other in the city.
Ladd's Addition has asphalt streets; few others have. This tract
has 6-foot cement sidewalks throughout; in many other additions
this improvement is promised. In this property a 14-foot alley runs,
through each block; only one other in- the city among the new sec-

tions. Sewer mains laid and paid for; not many residence sections
of Portland can boast of this. All mains, water and sewer, laid in the
alleys; this is a step in advance of Portland development and is emu
lating the ideas so popular in the east. Shade trees are to be planted
throughout the property this fall; except where shade trees are al
ready growing, this is an expense that other subdividers purposely
overlook.
And, in conclusion, your attention is called to the fact that all of
these improvements have been bought, paid for and installed before
the property was offered for sale. These conveniences and advantages
are included in the price of a lot in Ladd's Addition, even the big
sewer assessments for the entire district having been paid. You can
buy a homesite in Ladd's Addition cheaper, proportionately, than you
can in any other part of the city. Remember, you will be within 20
minutes' walk of down town.
