Considered Remarkable; Bleak ;Tract Blossomed Into j Thriving Settlements.' . Portland as a bower of . roses and the scene of carnival splendor .'has been no less a source of wonder aijd admiration to the thousands of visitors by reason of its unparalleled prosperity, and in no clearer way has thla been shown than' by the great building activities in the heart of the city, and the still greater laying out of fine suburban home sites which may be classed as of the best in the en tire northwest - - . Coupled with the general activity of the olty . and suburban building in this oity, , is the vast ' growth of Portland realty -values, and to ablerproof of this can be adduced than by comparison, of former prices with- present valuations, and by the comparing, on, the same ra tio of present values with prices ot the future v. : .: . V-'. " ' .t-;-- While niost sections of the city pos sess favorable features for homeseekers and investors, immediate attention is foctsed upon the southeastern portion Of Portland, where the growth of build ing, and the advance of land values have been phenomenal during the past few yeara.,,;.... Growth eairkaMaw-I The past three years have witnessed a growth In the entire aoutheast aide that Is little ;ettort of remarkable. A great tract of bleak, undeveloped land has blossomed Into thriving settlements of fine homes, and what few tracts still remain are being snapped up as quickly as they are -seen and their i worth . is realized. . " ''. ; While the surprise is that this section has escaped attention so long, present enterprise la making amende for the neglect of one ot Portland's fairest spots and great movements are now under way for development and building which will moan much for the east side in a few months. There are' many reasons why this moat desirable of residential sec tions Is sprlngijtjg so rapidly into public favor, but no ra eons are perhaps stronger than its natural contour of beauty and its location in a center of scenic splen- dor. Nestling in the . valley of anowy peaked mountains, almost in the shadow of the Cascades, with the 'city and the Willamette and the foothills of the stately Coast range to be seen at one sweep of the vision, the spot is Idyllic in beauty and adapted perfectly to -the building of beautiful homes. , ' Hew Suburb of Komes.

The latest residential suburb to 'be placed upon tho market is Krrol, the fclte of from 600 to 700 homes, which lies on a smooth stretch of ground to be seen for miles away. This place. Is inVaire'at touch, with tha O. -W. P. cars and within three or four, blocks from the Woodstock line. : ; It has Its own depot and stores are being built, in' ad ditiomto the laying ot of homes.
