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

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. '

Cfrrin Peck, American, Pre
fers to Do His Own
Work.
. London, March K Orrln Peck, an
American artist, who resides at 35 Tite
utrofit. Chelsea, in the house formerly
occupied by Whistler, is eatnlng rapidly
reputation for botn mieni ana eaen-
tricitv, like his predecessor in tne aDoae.
Mr. Peck is believed to be a millionaire,
but he holds most decided views on
domestic economy. 1 .
Away from his luxurious surround
ings in Tite. street and in theyqulet se
clusion of his studio he dispenses en
tirely, with servants. He makes hio
dwn bedrcooks his own Jood, and, most
surprising of all. does his own laundry
work. One or two friends have seen him
the washttib and declare that he sets
about removing dirt from linen in quite
oils to canvas. .
Mr. Peck is bo absorbed In his work
that he has little time to give to gen
eral society, but he enjoys the personal
friendship of tfinK Edward, who paid
him a few visits recently to the studio
whert he gave sittings to a womai
artist friend of Peck. It Ms not , re
corded that the kl"K invited the wealthy
artist to show him a performance on
his Hiren mangling machine. 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. When his mother and
Jster are absent from. the home In Tite
street Mr. Peck lives entirely In the
studio. He manages ' to, conceal his
habits of living from all except a few
of his closest friends and these have
been so faithful In respecting his conft-
