property becomes so valuable as to
make it a possibility to provide trans-
fiortatlon and other modern necessities
nto now Inaccessible territory, there
fore the moderate priced property must
be utilised by the major portion of
the people and this is all located on
the east side. For the very same rea
son " the lsrger manufacturing concerns
have, chosen the east side, as the new
packing plants have already done on
the. peninsula. ,
History Repeating Itself.
'The history of the 'growth of large
cities has been that wherever a large
population centers business will spring
up in" proportion to' the demand and
unless proper rapid transit facilities em
furnished, between the..,esr and 'wst
sides the business will gradually locate
In the territory most accessible to the
in Mock's bottom and Doan's and
Guild's lakes. This would suddIv dock
age and warehouse room, something
wnicn is Decommg very scarce at the
present date. This would cive an
anchorage basin about three-quarters of
a muo in wiotn Dy two miles in lengtn
and the available space - on both sides
of the river would be none to large an
area for the terminals of the transcon
tinental lines that will seek an entrance
to this city within the next few years.
"With Swan Island removed Portland
would have one of the best fresh water
harbors in this country and with the
Willamette and the Columbia deepened
so as to give a 40-foot channel to tho
sea this city could truly boast of be
ing tho New York of the Pacific and
would soon be known as the largest
cify on the Pacific coast, and the cont
would be a mere trifle compared with
the benefits. This Is one of Our many
needa of today and if we grasp the op
portunity the next time the fleet visits
the Pacific coast they can form In (battle
array in our grand narbor."
more than one third have already been
sold.
' More substantial Improvements in the
way of cement walks and curbs, sewer,
water, gas and electricity have been
Installed in this property than .In any
addition on the east side. Over two
miles of cement walks have been laid
and this addition can boast of the most
perfect sewer system in Portland. Over
one mile of six-inch water mains have
been installed with' Bewer and water
services to each lot. All the streets
are parked with 26 feet for roadway,
leaving 17 feet for the walk and park
way. The following restrictions will
insure one of the most desiraole resi
dence territories: No residence costing
less than $2,000: no building closer to
the street line than 20 feet; only one
residence on each lot.
Twenty-two modern houses have been
constructed during the past year. at a
cost of 173,000, and this addition is
destined to be one of Portland's best
residence additions.

ROSSMERE, where nature and the artof man are allied to create ideal conditions
for the building of attrpive Portland homes. -
s ROSSMERE attracts.the best, people because, of its cfprnplete j improvements and
nearness to the center of the city. All street improvements, including cement walks,
cement curbs and parkings grading, and gravelling, are all complete. J
Building sites in Rossmere for a home can be obtained now at prices that are much
lower than the actual value of residence property elsewhere in the city; u' ,'-r
This property is moving rapidly. For choice locations "it "will be necessary to
make selections at once. '
