M ml -vr s mmw mam -mmw ,' Looking down upon the valley from'.. Council Crest or anv other elevation, one geta an idea of what the Peninsula really means to Portland and Oregon. Ana have you eve stopped to think what a . wonderful piece of ground this -Peninsula is? .The neckpf one of the greatest pro-' ducing though only partially tilled areas in the United States, narrowing to a point at .the confluence of the far-famed Willamette and the great Columbia, the second largest in the country and the most . beautiful in the world, commanding an unobstructed view of live mountains,; You will see that the Peninsula is abso lutely essential ; to the . water-shipping situation for Oregon. We all know this.. But don't for ret about the railroads. The phenomenal increase in manufacturing re- ..:. irm!A rail farilitiM! ' and in what other Quarter can this devel opment occur than in this level, distinctly favored locality, where the growth of the activity is taking form? I am heavily in terested on the Peninsula. Naturally, it may be said that I am furthering my own ; interests by talking this way; but , don't . lose sight of the fact that I am' also inter- f ested in other sections of the city, and I . must have thought pretty well or it to Duy q heavilv here after I had decided to re- , tire permanently from.the business. ,' . ; I like McKenna Junction best, simply. because it promises the greatest future. And, another thing I am not going-to sell my entire holdings on the Peninsula not by any means. 7 1, confidently believe that- - ,.. , , t- Rlct(cnna- Junction; STUDY THE PICTURE I hereby offer you the last chance you will have to buy at these figures.

Still, these are only the break-' ' ing of the ice the "first baby," as it were, ; . to a family of manufacturers to whom this greatest move will prove a magnet, and is ; ; already attracting interest from all corners of the continent. The coming of the packers is in ivacii duauiuic piuui ui uic Kuoerioritv of ' the Peninsula over anv other piece of ground on the entire Pacific slope, and; their . recent , purchase; of 300 acres here as an investment for their own . surplus capital is sufficient to satisfy me that my money is admirably placed. While practically'all Peninsula property is good, of course, buying judgment is nec essary, and I hereby give you a few rea sons why I believe these McKenna Junc tion lots will show the most immediate and substantial advance, v :i .-. McKenna Junction is in close proximity to the Armour and Swift site, and is the logical situation for the residence and busi- ness portiomv; ' Directly through McKenna juncuon tne ; Dana, street tunnel will be driven under University Park;; ; ;r !

R. & N. intersects Har riman's Puget ' sound line, and the great proof of the expectations of the railroads is the large acreage which has been re served by, the roads for passenger and freight depots and switching and storage yards. It is a grade crossing, and conse miMitlv everv. train over the Harriman system to the sound, to the stockyardsoand v v. . m m m . m n - 1 m T H . over the tmain line ot tne u. k. cc w. musx pass over and stop at McKenna Junction. Just as certain as lots you could have bought for $150 in St. Johns are now $4,000, just so certain are these to advance to twice this extent in the same amount of time. , But it will not do you any good three years from now to point to what you could have done' in McKenna' Junction. Buying and'owning is the only thing that counts. v. -a:-- TT TT V W RUT . ;, i - o ii' -.,110. Officcs-Goddard Station, on the SL Johns.

It is the highest point on the Peninsula ' and lies within the 200-foot level as located by the ! United States government. With the trees cleared ' . away, the view from the north part of Belle Crest would 's-';,'include!'all;bfthe.'country along the Columbia river al ! t most to' its junction with the Willamette. Towaro! the '.. south, there is' nothing as high, save Mount Tabor. 0 From Belle Crest the land slopes gradually, including ' " all the most desirable residence portion of the east side. r It is a coincidence, perhaps, that along this backbone ' h fnnnH ahmit all the restricted residence dis- tricts of the east side. It is almost impossible to find a residence location on the east side of Portland as high as Bit ' tiT (rta tK th stockvards. the more unde- , V. . . .sirable the, location. . J3y the same method of reason-, 4 ing, the farther away one gets from them, the more de- " ' ' - sirable the location, other conditions being as favorable. M They are in Belle Crest. If you are interested in proving ' V ' ' the magnificent location of Belle Crest, ride out on the r ' ' East Ankeny car today; stroll to the north part of Belle Crest and ample evidence of the existence of a real back , , bone to the Peninsula will be' abundantly present, Be-r ; - ; sides that; it is the best" place for your home. - ..V" .-rf-i The Largest Subdi vision Operators on Pacific Coast QJU 1 4 t I Let me show you which; way the .wind blows. 1 Tt me show YOU that I the weather ' vane never points to the northeast.
