Kohlsaat, Chicago publisher, whose publishing of a story that a $100,000 "lush fund" was used to buy Lorlmer's election to the senate was the beginning of the latest series of sensations In the fataous case; next to him, '"Billy" Larimer, tue most talked-of man ln, the United States senate today. Below, from left to right, Edward Tilden, president of the National Packing company, who has been named as the collector of the $100,000 fund; Clarence Funk, general man ager of the International Harvester company, who gave Tllden's name to the Helm investigating com mittee of the Illinois state legislature and also told Kohlsaat the story published In his paper, and Ed ward Hines, mil.ionalre Chicago lumberman, who is said to have admitted that it cost $100,000 to "put Lorimer over," KEITH HAP E BT.ISDFJ "aluah fund." gave tha lie to Hlnea and brought ln the name of Edward Tilden, . president of tha National Packing com pany, aa the man to whom tha "Blush fund" money waa to have been aent rak VaAat Preaeora. jTunk'a atatement Implicating Tilden " wag ' probably the moat unexpected of all the disclosures. When asked point blank for the name of the man to whom Hlnea had told him to aend tha "boodle" money, ha was atartled and refused al . moat to reveal his identity. Ho pleaded that the man who had been referred to waa a man of high atanding, a jnan whose Integrity had never been im peached and that he had no proof that the charges Implied were true. The committee insisted on an answer. Kunk straightened in his chair as If to answer, but his courage failed him. The committee la unanimous," said Chairman Helm. It waa probably the moat dramatic moment since the inves tigation opened. Punk hesitated again and then blurted out: "Well, I will answer under protest. He told me to aend the money to Kd Tilden." It was shortly arter that that the committee went into executive sestrlon and then adjourned until today, with Its work well under way. History of tha Caaa. It was just 1" days less than a year ago when the first public Intimation of corruption in connection with the elec tion of I-iorimer waa made. Until a 4oaen days ago, however, practically no evidence had been brought out In anv of the Investigations that pertained to the aource of the money which was used In the alleged bribing of the Democratic members of the Illinois legislature. Tor 1 months after his election, Sen ator Ixirlmers sailing was about aa smooth as that tf any member of the tipper house of congress. Hla tran quility was not disturbed by any hint of graft until the morning of April 30, last J-ear. when a Chicago newspaper printed an affidavit signed by state Representative Charles a. White, saying that ha had been given $1900 by Repre sentative Robert K. Wilson to vote for Lorimer for senator. orana jury investigatee. 1 Two days later. May 2,, a special grand Jury waa empaneled In Chicago under Stata'a Attorney Wayman to go into tha charges.

IF YOU BUY Portland acreage you should hare mighty good reason for doing it. And if there is a really good reason for YOU to buy you ought to know it. We believe there are SEVERAL convincing and compelling reasons, and we want to tell you what they are. tf you agree with ua you will become an owner of Portland acreage. PERHAPS you already own Portland real estate. If you do you have a good investment, and it will not be necessary to urge you to get more of it as fast as ever you can. If you have not you can do yourself no greater kindness than to buy right now. Portland is a city of tremendous potentialities, and it will make money fast for those who are partners in its growth. The only way to share in this is to buy and pay for LAND. Acreage Costs But Little ONLY WEALTHY MEN can buy the high-priced property. One needs quite a capital even to own the average real dence lot. Both are good, but they are beyond the reach of very many. It is different with acreage. You can buy an acre lot on easy payments near some electric line, just beyond the city limits, where taxes are LOW and baild your home and happiness with the fresh, health-giving country on the one hand and the teeming, busy city on the other. There are such places within six or seven miles of the heart of Portland. They are being snapped up from time to time for subdivision into lots. Some of them are divided into acre plots about the size of eight building lots just about one solid city block. Our Close-in Acreage WE OWN such a body of land. It is beautifully situated on the splendid PoweU Valley road. Good pure water it piped to every lot nota meager thread of water, but an abundance of it enough for domestic uses AND IRRIGATION. The land lies in an almost level plane, falling away gradually to westward just enough to render irrigation easy. This is important certainly that is, for the present and near future; but we believe that the day is not far distant when the acre lot will be worth more divided into building sites than for gardening. Every indication points that way. Home and Investment in One -ITORTLAND acreage combines the elements of the econora ical and satisfactory home with the investment feature. If it remained forever beyond the city limits it would still be a convenient and pleasing home place; and, supposing it to be taken into the city, as it assuredly will be with Portland's inevitable growth what then? Its value will be multiplied. Judge 'for yourself as to the certainty of Portland's growth: 0 Portland's Wonderful Growth PORTLAND has more than doubled in population every ten years for the past 60 years, excepting the decade frpm 1890 to 1900. Then it very nearly doubled. There are more forces at work today than ever before for the upbuilding of the city and state. There is more vacant land, there are more undeveloped resources in Oregon today than in any other Pacific Coast state. Portland is the hub of the greatest partially devel oped area tributary to any western city. Its greatness is real and its future secure. Do YOU believe it is going to grow greater? Ask your neighbor what he thinks. Ask anyone. Ob serve investors. Are they putting their dollars with their con fidence into Portland? They are. Then do you likewise, Easy to Deal With Us THERE is really no good reason why you should not own at least an acre or more of Portland acreage. You have not the money, perhaps; or you have thought of using it in other ways. It does not take much to buy an acre, and we make it veryeasy for you if you make a reasonable effort You might use your money other ways, but we doubt very much ' if it could be used in a better way. Call and see us. Let us talk") with you and SHOW you. If you do business with ifl it wtil be because you like our landi our prices, our terms and our way of doing business.
