There is not very much cleared land on this new electric, line, and NONE we believe which is so sightly; consequently we have had our choice of the many hundred people who have bought on the SALEM ELECTRIC line in the last two weeks, and have therefore - -L . sold only to DESIRABLE people THOSE WHO MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS., .

' CAPITAL HILL. Saleni Line Runs Through Suburb About Three Quarters of Mile. 2ne of the inost charming suburbs of Portland Is Capital Hill, situated in the south end of the city, west of River view cemetery, on the Oregon electric line; JThl line Tuns through the aadl tlon for nearly three quarter tf a mile, the fare being 8 cents from the city. Capital , Hill was platted a year ago Into over S00 lots. Over 200 lots have been sold and several nice homes are under construction and a number ef plans are being prepared for new houses to be 6ullt at once. Cloheney A Smith my that Capital Hill will be dotted all oyer with picturesque homes in, a short time. It is said that any vegetable ever grown can be raised on the eoti.2 The water is anexcelled ad there is m unerabundence of it. the whole tract VJ,'!,.U1in ?lth 'rtal springs. Capital . Hill has been under cultivation for 16 years end a large orchard containing a artety of fruit Is proving an attraction for those who do not wish to. wait for . Sr?1 rears for young trees to mature. The tract afforda all the benefits of tiealthy environments away aove the busy , city, yet quite convenient to tbe buslneaa cnter, aa It is only about It Ijilnutes ride from the Portland depot. AJ'-,h? V",n. on ie Salem line stop Capltnl Hill station and there ie not iryhHl,iy a more prominent or attractive aiiMtict n the whole system than this truly vspltsl lce. The contour of the w.l la beautiful; the verdant knolls and l',,s"il eurroiindtiiaa re the cnune of t"v"1r' f e)iht.te those spending a 1 tui Ui'.re. w Much Improvement ! going on in South Portland additions as a result of the Invasion of that section by manu facturing concerns and homeeite seek ers. The Terwllllger ..raet which was acquired by Phelan & Costello, very suc cessful men of wide real estate experi ence. Is undergoing extensive street im provements, and cement walks will soon be completed. This tract is considered one of tne best In the city, as It Is close in and extends from the Willamette riv er up to two hundred feet west of the Southern Pacific Fourth-street line, practically commanding all Ingress and egress to and from the city in the southwest. It is anticipated that there will be an Increasing demand for build ing and manufacturing sites in this dis trict and that the water front for miles southward will be astir with shipping and manufacturing in a few years. The steady encroachment on residential property south of Morrison and west of Fourth and Fifth streets for a mile In peotive skyscrapers and other buildings which are projected are erlterions of a southward movement which wise ones venture to predict will extend up Third. Fourth and Flfthe streets for s .mile In a comparatively short time. It Is this assurance that makes the holders of the tracts in the southwest part of the city so optimistic of the destiny of the neck of land between the river and South Portland heights. . With a thickly populated section to the south for several' miles, business, of course would as naturally expand scrutn ward aa it did westward on Washington street. The electric railway extensions to the south are certainly stimulating that section ana giving tne growtn in that direction an impetus that will be difficult to oheck. ' All of which proves that there cannot be too many transpor tation facilities, wnerever tnere is rao- Id transit there also Is healthy expan sion.' Good streetcar service is a great nitv builder iust as good railroad ser vice Is a good -country developer. South Portland enthuaiaata say it Is not neces sary to use tne slogan, waicn routn Portland Orow,"-becue you can see it .rnvln. without watching it. All this activity on the southwest leads the writer to conjecture why a shorter and quicker way of reaching the picturesque Marquam heights and surrounding; hills is not solved. It la long and time killing0 route to go out Washington street. If there was easy access to tne k.i.i. fmn Lincoln street it Is nroh- abie that the bills to the south would besotted with homes in a few years. An Incline railway would be a solution Of'the problem. . ' SOME GOOD BUYS rerosal of Their Biff List of -properties Will Xateres Sealers.

All Eyes to the Sout THERE are hundreds of people in Portland who haver never given a moment's thought tp what the new Oregon Elec tric line means to the beautiful suburb just south. That area of excellent ground, which is actually miles closer to the center of town than any other at similar prices, and which has only needed this line to make it ideal. The R. R. Is a Reality Now and it came so quietly, builded with so little glamor (preferring rather to "do" than to "talk"), that there are actually hundreds in this city who do not know that it exists. But the Oregon Electric is very much alive, is giving the best railroad service, and has the best rolling stock of any road in" Oregon. The south movement has started f none of the shrewd investors are overlooking the possibilities for profit created by the Oregon Electric, and real estate men are buying and preparing plat after plat ,to be marketed in residence lots. Undoubtedly the golden opportunity in this direction for people of limited means is IMadison Villa Acres (AN ACRE FOR THE PRICE OF A LOT.) $550 to $800 per Acre; Easy Terms The fertile soil of these acres will grow anything you put in the ground and as it is right in the district which is literally covered with residence tracts, an acre can be subdivided and sold in lots at any time. Fifteen minutes just think of this will take you to Madison Villa, (Alder Springs Station), much less time than is required to go to Sunnyside or any of the outlying additions that you must, cross bridges to get . to. There are No Bridges to Cross going to and corning from these acre tracts, and though" it will cost you 10 cents, to go and see the ground,,, the regular rate for residents in tJ?e district is city' fare -5 cents. When we say. it takes fifteen minutes' ride we mean at the very outside it is an ordinary thing for these cars to make the run in ten minutes. Take the car from Front and Jefferson (get ticket to Alder Springs) and go. and see Madison Villa Acres. The number, of tracts is limited there were 80 in the original plat. Over half have already been taken, and our first announcement ap peared less than two weeks ago. See agent at tract, or F. BRESKE, 444 SHERLOCK.
