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

' 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 ! ' i'-i'y:

Jevard : ALL THE WAY, which , is des-
tined to be what Washington street is to.
?'Portland. '-,', . ; .
Here also the O. 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

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.

' 1 Belle Crest. 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

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 ;
