THE OREGON I SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, SUNDAY , MORNING, JULY 19. 1908. A 31 -n o CnTrTi J rare ror wen Great TUT a GLEN HARBOR A beautiful tract of 232 acres, near Linnton, with 1,650 feet of water-frontage on the Willamette river, was sold through Anthony Hardy to the GLEN HARBOR REALTY COMPANY, whose officers are: John D. Clarke, president: Hugh C. Gearin, vice-president; Walter J. Gearin, treasurer, and John G. Clemson, secretary. This valuable land was purchased from Lou Watts and was part of the George Watts Donation Land Claim. It was held many years on ac count of the excellent water-front and deep harbor. The tract between the St. Helens and Germantown roads (the latter is now macadamized) will be plat ted, the streets graded and put on the market in a few days. GLEN HARBOR has a commanding position between the river and heights, with enchanting water and landscape scenery. The scenery from GLEN HARBOR is extremely charming, with an unobstructed view of the beautiful Willamette, East Port land, the peninsula and . the distant snow-capped mountains. Many handsome residences will be erected here when the new United Railways electric line will run through this property, giving a quick and frequent 5-cent service to the city. The United Railways electric line to Hillsboro, via Linnton and Cornelius Pass, will run right through this property, which is admirably situated for home, business and manufacturing sites. The early buyers will get the cream of the property and will get the full benefit of the great increase which will follow within a year. GLEN HARBOR has the natural advantages and the deep-water harbor BELOW ALL DRAWBRIDGES and nearest to the great Columbia outlet to the sea. This is of vital importance to shippers and manufacturers, as there is no impediment. The Northern Pacific and the Astoria & Columbia railroads run through GLEN HARBOR, where there are unlimited trackage facilities. The water-frontage is well adapted for factories, and it will not be many years before the west side between GLEN HARBOR and Linnton will be alive with extensive industries. THE TIME TO GET BUSY AND INQUISITIVE ABOUT GLEN HARBOR IS NOW COME AND SEE ANTHONY HARDY, SPECIAL AGENT FOR GLEN HARBOR LINNTON'S GREAT OPPORTUNITIES Linnton. the picturesque little town seven mllei north of Portland, Is destined to become center of 4fcreat activity with the com pletion of the United Railways electrlo 'line right through lt main street. This new line will continue out through Cornelius pass and on to Hillsboro. Construction work is being pushed with vigor, and It la expected that a quick 5-cent service will be given to Linnton this fall. Wise ones know what this means for LinntOD and Glen Harbor. The Columbia Steel-company will build an extensive plant between Linnton and Glen Harbor. Linnton has extensive sawmills and a box factory and othr Industries, with others In sight. Linnton and Glen Harbor have the deepest harbors on the whole Wlllam etto river being from 26 to 38 feet deep, with blue clay bottom and both have unlimited water frontage. Linnton is now an important manufacturing town on the Willamette river, and the Immediate future prospect Is greater than for any other Oregon town. The big sawmill emolovs '60 hands, the box factory employs 60 hands. The Columbia Steel company will employ 800 hands, and another sawmill which will Ve one of the largest on the coast, will bring an army of men to the west side. All these will have to be housed, which means great activity here. 1 have pinned my faith on Linnton and surroundings for some years. It was while stenmboatlng or. the Willamette river thfit I flrt saw the great possibilities and probabilities of the natural harbor along the west side of the river below Portland and all draw bridges. Knowing well that extensl ve manufacturing Industries seek advantageous water frontage to facilitate shipping I knew It would be only a matter of a short time befo.-e this section would attract capitalists. Every month only strengthened my firm faith In the future of the site, and the building of the I'ntted Railways electric line down the west klo of the river from Portland through Linnton In a very Important factor In the upbuilding of the town and surrounding districts. I have some of the choicest property In and around Linnton Glen Harbor and Whltwood Court to offer at very low prices at present. All tills property will rapidly Increase in value when the new electric line Is completed and quick. service established. If you wait for developments, remember you will have to do so at your own expense, as prices will surely advance. The time to get busy Is NOW. The place to get busy at la Linnton and surroundings, and the man to see Is Hardy, who will set you right and make money for you. He has sold more Linnton property than any other man. null tivrm ' Jlwlliu;;,''J.'l' '"'; 'WW tJ;nW"iiMy r 1 ,i,1MW-n i ANTHONY HARDY AGENT FOR LINNTON PROPERTY A Linnton Residence.

The United Railways Klectric line will also run through Whitwood CVuirt. The construction is being pushed and cars will, it is said, be running within three months. With a rapid 5-cent fare down the west side of the river, liaffic will be nat urally diverted from the long, tiresome out-of-the-way east side route over draw-bridges and down the peninsula to St. Johns, thus saving 30 minutes. When traffic increases the ferry service will be improved. Watch the west side grow. Do you realize what its future is? Think it over. By investing now you will profit more by its rapid growth.

OPENING OF THE VALLEY LANDS BACK OF THE HEIGHTS The fertile valley lands beyond the heights, which have been inaccessible, are about to be tapped by electric lines, which will eventually branch out through this rich country in all 'directions. There is no better soil or climate in the world for garden truck and fruits of all kinds. When these lines tap the valley, Cornelius Pass will he the mouth nf thu great cornucopia, and Linnton will be the nearest shipping point. I have some very choice acreage through the valley which can be bought right. There is bound to be great activity in acreage back of the hills next summer, and wise investors will do well to buy now. It pays to look ahead and get located where the people want to be before they get there. I also have some good buys between Linnton and Cornelius Pass which will net the present buyers handsome profits in the next year or two.
