. To rent,1 or not to rcnth'at Is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler lii the mind to suffer ' V.; "; U '
The slings and arrows of an outraged landlord, . ' "'. .
Or to take arms against these miserable conditions,,.
And by owning my own home end them? to live; to own a
home:'. ' ' . ""' '
Yes; and by owning to say I end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks ,
That tenantry is -heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To live; to own;
To own; perchance to acquire riches aye, there's the
blessing ' '
For in that state of happiness, what dreams come true, $
When we have shuffled off this coil of rent,
Must give us pause. There's the horror
That makes renting of so long disgrace ;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of servility, ,
The landlord's insistence, the proud man's shame,
The pangs of a wife's complaining, the ever-recurring rent
day -
The insolence of collectors, and the spurns s .
That the patient renter receives from his neighbors,
When he himself might bis satisfaction secure
With a home of his own? Who would burdens bear,
To grunt and 'sweat under a landlord's dictum t t
But that the glory of something to come,
The paradise of a home of one's own, from whose bourne
No traveler wishes to return, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have, to
Later fly to other things that we long to have?
Thu3 renting doth make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution '
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of our imprisonment,
And enterprises of great pith and moment . '
With this regard their currents turn our way,
And we lose the name of tenants.

METZGER ACRE TRACTS
1 i i ' " ' r
PLATS ARE NOW READY
Those Beautiful Acre Tracts on the Salem Line Are
Only 25 Minutes Ride From Jefferson Street Station
WEST SIDE
These desirable tracts are on the
west side of the river and can be
reached as quickly as many of
the east side additions where a
50-foot lot costs what we ask for
a whole acre. These, tracts are
unequalled for the production of
fruit, berries, walnuts, and all
kinds of garden truck. The land
is well watered and some of the
rich bottom land and beautiful
' upland is partly' cleared, so that
all requirements can be met. The
cordwood on some tracts is worth
more than the price of ground,
NO BRIDGES
There are no bridges to delay
traffic. Take car at Jefferson
street station and a 25-minute
ride will land you at Metzger sta
tion, right on the property. There
is frequent service and it will be
improved from time to time to
' meet the increased traffic which
is bound to come. Come out to
day and be convinced that these
tracts are the most desirable in
the vicinity of Portland. The sit
uation is ideal, the ground is un
surpassed for production and the
building sites ideal for suburban'
homes. Take cars at Front and
Jefferson. '
ACRE TRACTS $200 UP; 10 PER CENT DOWN; 3 PER CENT MONTHLY

much more time on the coast. It has the best sand
beach in Oregon, no rocks, providing safe and pleasant
bathing. There are' scores of points of interest within
sight, including many wrecks. Fort Stevens is only 4
miles north. Building lots are now for sale. Choice of
three different locations the beach, the greensward
and the higher lands.' All command a magnificent view
of the ocean. The opportunity for real recreation is
unsurpassed at this beach. Amusement of any kind
may be obtained.

BEACH
IN REACH
Few cities are so well favored with quickly accessible
ocean resorts as Portland now is with DELAURA
BEACH. It is only a few minutes' ride from Astoria.
When you arrive at DELAURA BEACH you seem to
b,e as far from home as though you were in another
state. At the same time you are in closer touch with
home and business than is afforded by any other resort
on the Pacific coast. It makes a shorter ride and con
siderably more time for pleasure. You do not arrive so
late at night; do not have to arise so early in the morn
ing to catch a train.- Nothing impedes the prospect of
DELAURA BEACH becoming the favorite playground
of Portland people. .
