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

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.'

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.
