HEIGHT 1 IT FEET L Or J' ORECON is th destination , of thousands of hpmeseekers who are swarming to this state from every :o.t;hr state in ,th4 union, but particularly from the far east and middle", west. A", combination of "af fairs is! revealing to the entire' nation a gem on the Pacific coast that for richness and grandeur, is unequaled on - the continent. . , - -. The Lewis and Clark': exposition opened the eyes of hundreds of thou sands of .people who came here from all ; sections of the country. They came, they, saw and they heralded the , sencic beauties, the salubrious cli mate, the unlimited resources, the 1 rich soil and the great possibilities of Oregon to- hundreds of thousands of their friends. The Commercial club and the Chamber of Commerce have been influential in telling far and wide the advantages of the state. The result is that no section of the Union is more renowned for fertility, mild climate or scenic beauty. Portland, the metropolis of the great .Oregon country, is attracting thousands of new settlers every year on account of its. great advaptages and marvelous environment. From the heights - overlooking the city a panoramic view . presents itself that surpasses even the most fantastic ideas of all who have been told of the scenery, by visitors.. An hour's ride from the city; crosses valleys as rich as the Nile, and presents scenery that ; rivals the grandeur of the Alps, J' It has dawned on the outside world that Oregon and Portland afford rare Opportunities for the investor,, mer chant prince, manufacturer, 'pecu-l lator and homeseeker, while the artist snd the lover . of nature find in Oregon's" 'mountains,, i villey s, ' rivers ""n't werfatlsnsubjetJcfoTrtsrttah -ana canvas and for reveries of delight. Oregon's ' development is1 more marked every year, and there is no better evidence of the stability of the state thanthe activity -in real estate and the astounding '.expansion of Portland, its chief - city. The trend of capital , seeking ; thej safest " and surest investment is towards Oregon, and its great market place is natur ally spreading , out ; to, .meet the de mands of its fast increasing popula - . tion. Great faith fs, manifested In Ore- son's future by her own , people as well as by capitalists - from the far east, who have carefully studied this state through ' adversity as well as prosperity. The amount of money being invested in real estate m Fort' land is proof positive that the in vestors, capitalists and -'financial, in stitutions of the country recognize in Oregon a sound repository for tjheir 1 money,, ; u .... . .; ; Portland the Market Center. - Speaking about Oregon one cannot disconnect Portland, for tne - state a - great-eommerce-centefi "here. " The raw material finds its outlet here and the manufactured product is ever hi- creasmg. These with scores of other , factoid are transforming Portland so rapid iy that the citizen who absents himsf for a few months returns, to find Mia former surroundings changed.' Wherte a: moss covered landmark: ttood when he left is how a steel' Fkvsctaoer. These steel and rein forced concrete birildingaare increas ing with great rapidity.' .-r Such substantial buddings are not haphazard investments. They are the result of careful financing on the part of threwd investors who take no chances on losing. Conservative lo cal capitalists as well as moneyed men from-the great eastern financial centers do not hejitate to make large investments in Portland realty. In fact the whole state . of Oregon is proving a rich field for investment, as is evidenced in the extension of rail roads and trolley lines, and the Sub division of thousands of large, farm into five, ten and twenty- acr tracts. ind into one acre tracts : within twenty miles of Portland. - ' - The advantage of populating the rural districts is apparent The great Influx of homeseekers-to Oregon U creating a demand for sma!! tracts of land and the owe era of great farms and large timber belts are realising good prices on their holdings. The deep, rich soil of Oregoa fairly artonishe. the newcomer. It it not uncommon to get soil 10) feet deep. The homeseeker coming to Oregon generally stops here or returns cast unly to make arrangements to re move here as soon as possible. Thus the whole State is bing opened fr and land values are increasing. - Another attractive field for invet , tnent hv irrigation.
