There are many prospective settlers

who are under the impression there Is
no land available In thla district. I
havo been informed that cut over tim
ber land can be bought as low as $10
nn acre, payable In 10 yearly install-
Lments. Forty acres cleared and culti
vated will make a living for any fam
ily. There Is a lot of hard work to do
In getting the land In shape for crops;
It la a job for full blooded men, who
are not afraid to take a few knocks.
'This Is not a land agenfa scheme In
any aense of the term, but a campaign
to provide cheap lands for people In
the congested centers of population. In
many Instances the state owna the
land, the rest being held by timber
companies. We are now making plans
to guard sralnst speculators salnlna
control, and it Is lfkely that the land

Neither Predicts More Than, a
Few Hundred Majority for
Himself.
. (tnlUd Press fceswl Wire.) .
Tacoma, Wash., April 17. For the
second time the people of Tacoma will
vote tomorrow on the Question whether
Mayor Fawcett shall retain office or
whether W. W. Seymour, hla opponent
hall be selected to succeed him aa the
city's executive. The first recall elec
tion two weeks ago failed to give any
of the three candldatea a majority.
A. H. Barth, who ran on the Socialist
ticket. Is eliminated from the present
election by reason of his having re
ceived the lowest number of votes. The
contest thua la harrowed to Fawcett
and 8eymour and the concensus of opin
ion today appears that neither candi
date will have a majority of more than
a few hundred. Campaign leadere of
both sides are extremely modest In
their claims of victory.
Fawcett'a managera advance the claim
that a majority of .those who voted for
Barth In the first election will now
csst their ballots for him. As Barth
received more than 8000 votea, this sup
port probably would Insure Fawcett'a
election. On the other hand Seymour
claims to have assurance that these So
clallst voters will refrain from taking
part In the present election and that
he will lead by substantially the same
figures aa before, insuring his selection.
The registration is the heaviest In thi
history of the city.

Question Were You One of Those Who Yester
day Decided to Free Yourself of the Landlord?
If you were, you needn't answer. You are now started on
your way to independence. You have picked out one of the
choicest locations in or around Portland in which to build your
home. You are only 18 minutes from down town, and you
will ride on one of the best car lines in the city. You will prob
ably pitch your tent on your lot right away. You will live in
that tent, and really enjoy it while your home is being built
Perhaps you are planning to build only a moderate-priced home
say a bungalow that will cost only a few hundred dollars.
You have probably talked the proposition over with us, and we
have shown you how to pay for your lot and your home and
have it Ibst you less than you have been paying for rent. You
are started on your way to happiness. Owning one's own
home is a good starter.
But you people who did not come out yesterday what of
you? There are a few lots left. We will outline a proposition
to you that is sure to interest you. We pay your fare both
ways. Come to the office for free tickets. Come 10 or 15
minutes before train time. Trains leave 10:20 a. m., 12:10,
2:10, 3:30 p. m., from Front and Jefferson. Get off at Mult
nomah Station. Lots $350 to $500 $10 down, 2 per cent a
month. Take the morning train tomorrow.
