r r V f .' .;: . THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SUNDAY .MORNING. MARCH 15., 1808. ' n n . n Ml' 1 1 Offl i - 2CS I. West Seheba, Buffalo; Etc. Is Qbing to Be RE- REATpD:QN THE PENINSULA , " . ' '. - All the American Hotbeds of Industry have been Started by just such Development as y is now Astired for this Suburb of Portland ;:; .v-v Portland has jast begun to realize what she has in the Penin M, and it behooves those who would give their surplus dollars . . iSe employment to see McKenna Junction Townsite, which is t;in the certain path of the very earliest development. In twelve months from now you will witness a scene of indus ; trial activity in this district which will mark a new era for the . Pacific Slope. This is no rash assumption advantages that prove attractive to the Swift and Armour interests are going to draw others, hence the wisdomof placing a few dollars around McKenna Junction now while pioneer prices prevail. REMEMBER ST.AoHNS Lots you might have had there for $100 are now unpirchasable at $10,000. McKenna Junction is closer in and the railroad facilities these tremendous packing plants will command will prove a greater drawing card to other manufacturers. McKENNA JUNCTION is on the Columbia Boulevard at f the point where the O. R. & N. crosses Harriman's trunk line to Puget Sound, at the approach to the tunnel which is to be driven - under University Park. A big tract of land has been purchased here to be used for railroad yards. Tracks to the Swift site are 2; already beings lajd. . . 1 The history of the industrial centers adjoining Chicago, Pitts burg and other great American cities is going to be repeated on 'the Peninsula. The stretching out of Chicago did not require much time to fill the vast expanse which once laid between the city and the packing-house district. 'Nor did the growth cease there nor at Inglewood, and men have stopped trying to estimate where it will cease. "Had I only bought 'here or there' at 'such and such' a time I would have made 'so and so,' " is the story we have become tired of hearing. Procrastination, the thief of time, gees a little farther some times and puts his hand into the pockets of these "waiting" ones. Don't wait if you want to share in the prosperity of the . Peninsula, for time is as necessary for the betterment of a real estate investment as in maturing an orchard the sooner you plant the sooner you'll pick your harvest from the tree. McKENNA JUNCTION promises the greatest and quickest returns of any proposition I have ever been identified with, and I've been in the, business in this city for eighteen years. Take a trip to McKenna Junction Townsite today or as soon as you can; get off the St. Johns car at Goddard Station. Don't delay, as being early means something in choosing. Prices Are $275 Up; 10 Cash, 10 Quarterly These Prices Will Be Advanced April First odstaff Offices GoddardStation on SL Johns Line and 510 Commercial BIdg. Phone Main 6009 THE GROWTH Of ROSt CITY PARK 1;; has been magical. There is not a residence V . section of Portland, on the market for i year, that can hold a candle to the things that have been done in Rose City Park. Streets have ' been graded, " cement walks and curbs have i been laid, water main v have been installed and '"; people happy people are living in Rose City V;, Park in their own homes. The advancement of $ose City Park jlj; HAS EXCEEDED THE REST Of THE CITY in more ways than one. People are residing in fine homes where men have never lived before. Wrested from Nature, turned over to' the necessities of a growing city, this great, natural, beautiful park, once the loved haunt of the picnicker and Nature-lover, has been consecrated to the greater needs of the man , who seeks a real home. It is pleasant for the , owners to recollect that they are CARRYING OUT EVERY PROMISE they have made to turn Rose City Park into an excellent residence section. Not a stone , has been left unturned by the wealthy syndi- cate to make rapid progress in developing Rose City Park. Improvement work has been carried on with vigor and energy, at great ' expense, miles of street and sidewalk work ' have been completed, and this work is being prosecuted more vigorously now than at any previous time. Rose City Park has been MAKING GOOD AT EVERY POINT , If you visited Rose City Park last summer and will take the trouble to visit it again today, you will not recognize the place. As you ... approach the big addition, you will see homes & dozen within a stone's throw of one an- . other. Ride up to The Alameda; tell the con ductor to stop there; get off and walk around. You will see other homes here. And that's the way it goes. Over 40 people are now figuring on building at once in Rose City j Park." It's easy ; we'll show you.

Th other Pecks do not share his views of social amenities, and his mother and sister, Miss Janet Peck, were among those pre sented at last night's court, Peck's predilection for cooking and "washing Is not dictated by motives, of Sarsimony, but from an innate love to o all he tfn himslf to provide for his own necessities.
