TO BECOME GRWT
'1 do not see that conditions could be
much healthier or much better,'; said H.
P.palmer of : the H. ; P. Palmer-Jones
Co., yesterday in discussing the general
altuatlon In Portland and In the Port
land territory.
"Everybody knows that Portland has
advanced wonderfully during the past
five years, but I want to go on record
aa ssylng that I will miss my guess K
th development snd . progress of Port
land and of Oregon during ' the next
decade 1 not much greater than .thai
of th last half decada t without , a
doubt Oregon Is destined to become on
of the most populous and most prosper
ous states In the weat and Portland, as
th metropolis of the state, wilt un
doubtedly b on of the great cltUs of
th country. . k
"Mn with capital ar coming hr In
greater numbers than ever before and
many of them are wisely Investing, In
anticipation, of the increase in values
I that wllLresult from the completion, of
Nh Tanama
"Time was wnen some or our own
eitlaena expressed the belief that realty
values here were too high, but such talk
Is very rarely heard now. Careful in
vestors as well as men who have made
a study of realty values know that Port
land real estate la, low la price when
compared with the prloes prevailing In
ether cities of Its slsa, Th result Is
that they are putting In their money tn
all sorts of city property and are pick
ing up every available bit of. acreage
that can be had .in the poruana cue
