On the left, above. Is Herman H. Kohlsaat, Chicago publisher, whose publishing of a story that a $100,000

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

" wag ' probably the moat unexpected of
all the disclosures. When asked point

Hlnea had told him to aend tha "boodle"
money, ha was atartled and refused al

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

Acreage?
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.
