ClMred Acres at the Price of CheapiOy Lots
This tract of 84 ACRES was put on the market ONLY TWO WEEKS AGO and more than HALF of it has been sold already.
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., .
When these most desirable acre tracts are all sold you will never have the same chance to purchase such good land at the extremely
low prices they are being sold at now. Go out today and satisfy yourself that there. are no other such bargains.

' 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

unerabundence of it. the whole tract

. 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

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. . '

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
