Kelp Property Bale.
: A company built a motor carllne con
necting the city with Fulton Heights,
and as eoon as this line waa in operation
prices of lota all along the front of
the hllla went up rapidly, and sold
readily at liOO to 1700 Der lot. With
the financial panic of 1893 the motor
line collapsed and its operation ceased.
The trestles across the gulches rotted
away, and the prices of lots declined- to
almost nothing, aa the beautiful prop
erty that was to be served waa thus cut
off from atreetcar connection with the
bualnees center of the city. A few pur
chasero who had built homes remained
on the hllla and Improved their places
which today are antpng the most at
tractive in roruana, naving a grand
view of the mountains, the Willamette
river and the city.
rThe conatruction of the Oregon Elec
tric has brought all this larre district
again into the market, and hundreds of
lots nave been resold in the last year.
In addition to the newly platted proper

There are also regularly employed 18

broad level land lying along the west

- Trackage facilities in South Portland
are becoming very extensive. A glance
at the map ahows that South Portland
has five important transportation lines,
each one- Independent of the other. They
are the Southern Pacific's-- lnterurban

IS EljTHUSIASTIC
Believes New Country South
of City Will Be Developed
- by the New Line. .
- - "The new- electric line from thla city
to Salem will affect Portland more than
many people now dream," said B. M.
Xjombard, whose office is In the Mad I

on. "It will he in many waya like

early days there the main atreet was

"Now. this ia lust what la a-ainar to

16 years, run .north and south instead
of east and west, as now.
"Business, especially retail, follows
the residences. ' There is no room to the

"There is another thing to remember
In this regard, and It Is that Portland
has grown In all directlona heretofore
except to tne aoutn. now, it la going
to spread wnere it can get tne beat
land at the cheapest price that ia avail-
able, and the aouthern portion of the
city is tne cneapest- ian in Portland.

out son oi rest on its oars ana let tne
aouthern sections catch up, so to apeak,
and lierhapa even surpass it.
"The climate of this section la auch
that people can live in the country
the year round. We ..hare no heavy
snows, for Instance,' to block trafflo In
, the winter. This means that people
will have suburban homes to the south
of Portland along thla electric line for
mllea.
"Salem can be' reached in from to to
i oo minutes, and in time it can be
reached In an even hour on express
trains. Just aa are now run 'between
Seattle and Tacoma. Thle means prac
tically one long town reaching for 60
miles to the aouth of Portland and end
ing In Salem. All thla will, of course,
cause the larger farms to the south up
the Willamette valley to be broken up

Biie vauey naa mace Portland what
she Is today, and this new line means
five times as many people on the north
bank of the Willamette In 10 to 16
years aa there la today.
"Although land now can be had for
$100 an acre along this line, in Ave
years the beat of it cannot be touched

within 20 miles of Portland to . the
south Is today a hopeless proposition
for instance, because It takes so long
to got the milk to the city. Now put
In the new electric line, lay the milk
down here within SO to 45 minutes after
it is cooled right from the cow, and
you see what a dairy ia worth, even if

00 and observe the change how; and
yet while South Portland despaired for
a long time of getting a railroad until
the Oregon Electric railway appeared. It
Is an Indisputable fact that real prop
erty in that vicinity, by men of good
judgement, was deemed the best Invest
ment and would prove so, because it is
the experience of all that cltlea In the
1 nlted States the great growth takea
place and values attain a higher figure
ultimately In the south and west sections
of every large city, Portland certainly
will not prove an exception to other cities.

Anally, and, as I said before. In those
directions apparently real property at-
taJns Its highest permanent value.
With the branch lines to be built by
the Oregon Electrio railway from the
main line, which branch lines are now
under conatruction, this city will be
drawn into daily communication with
many thousands of people. The , ter- 1
ruory now traversed by this line and
the extensions under way Is susceptible '
of greater results than any other part
of the atate, from the fact that the
land la unquestionable the beat, the
soil la good, the water the very beat -and
plenty of it The capabilities of

Such tracts of land as I refer tq ,
above can now be bought reasonably -cheap;
cheaper than the same land can
ever again be bought, naturally ao. ' -My
advice to those who read thla letter
is to go at once to the southwestern por
tlon of this city, take a look at those
hills, with absolutely no intention of
investment, and then watch the condl- -tlon
for a few years. Don't buy, but "
simply watch the transformation. Thla
is high-class property, not cheap stuff;
every bound will be a thousand dollars
at a time. The thought will many
times recur to you in cogitating with
?ourself you could have bought with a '
ew hundred what now la selling for
many thousands of dollars. The same .
condition will not prevail in any other -part
of Portland, as this section la the
only choice part, and with the boule- .
vard now contemplated and soon to be ' -built,
skirting the sides of these bean. '
tlful hills in South Portland, with the '
magnificent panorama before the eyea)
of the visitor, do you think you can
make cheap property of that? Well, if . :
you do you have another "thing com .
ing." In the past, as I stated, peopla
have followed the line of least resist
ance, notwithstanding this very desir
able locality. They would take a look
at these hills, and from the fact there
wag no transportation they would get , :
footsore and hie themselves to the east
aide level land. -which -accounts for tha,
population In that section. h
The greater advanee In values from
now on until the end of time will take
place in real property' in the amithwaat
section of this city. That fact la freely
admitted by all shrewd observers.
