OF CITY SCENE OF
BUILDING ACTIVITY
Advance of Land Values There
Is . 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. ,

'X A tribute to the advantages ": of the
most favored spot of southeastern Port
land Is given by the selection of an ad

the great value or this location.
The latest residential suburb to 'be
