In the days of the Clatsops, before the white man strode the sands
of the Pacific, Sunset Beach was a favorite Summer camping ground of
the Indians. J . .
Here in the surging, rolling surf they washed their ills ; away, the
crystal waters of the Neacoxie they fished and swam while 4x1 the pr -meval
forests close at hand they hunted and roamed the trackless wilds.
The march of progress has banished the Indians, but Sunset Beach
with its matchless splendors and recreations, brings to the white man and
his family new pleasures and new health, doubly welcome in these days
of strenuous endeavor.
A large number of "bungalow sites in Sunset Beach have already
been lold to discriminating investors, and many new and attractive bun

FINEST ACREAGE HOMES

You don't have to have a bank account toda ; ,

OR GARDEN TRACTS in the whole northw .
Because our matchless tracts are peculiarly withm your
'reach, no matter how limited your means. Out ofgJJ
monthlv, quarterly or annual savings you w 11 teV
to find 'how ea.iv it is for vou to get 10 or 15 or 20 or even
40 acres of our matchless land-land that makes your
future a safe one. . ... ,,..
Portland consumers are going to look m e near future
for a Urge part of their frulti, vegetables and poultry from
this new district. It is right close to the city and the splen
did shipping advantages make it a doubly 'vord Jg1
This magnificent new district comprises 3000 J icreaj ol
virile, fertile logged-off land, from which the timbernun
has but in recent years claimed his toll.
It is just the sort of land that can be readily developed
to yield $1000 or even more to the acre in fruits or vege
tables every year. That is the verdict of the best agricul
tural and horticultural experts in the state.
And not one of the established districts that are now
making thousands of acreage home-owners well-to-do had
brighter prospects or more to go on than you will fmd m
our matchless
Beaver Homes Tracts at Redland
An hour's run from Portland, near Goble, on the Colum-
bia river. . . u--i
Those thriftv home-buyers of previous days (tjeyre
independent now) didn't have half your chance of today to
get land on a producing basis. They had to blast and grub
and use donkey engines on their stumps-all of which cost
much money.
You Can Charpit Your Way to Independence
No matter what your age or strength may be you can
use that new economy land-clearing method with success.
Whv. some of the most effective charpitting has been done
by reform school boys over in Washington. They caught
the magical knack in a few minutes.
There's a lot, too, in knowing that your land is fresh,
virile, producing land good for you, your children and
their children. Land that has already been doing sen-ice
for a few generations may be well along toward petering
Furthermore, when vou buy that established land it is
certain that you pay everv dollar of the expensive dynamite
' and donkey engine clearing system that was followed m
clearing it the wasteful method of the past.
Beaver Homes tracts are second to none. The soil is
unsurpassed in all the qualities that make for fertility.
There is plenty of water plenty for every purpose.
The district lays in a beautiful crescent a valley unto
itself, just off the broad Columbia, with wondrous snow
capped peaks in the distance.
Good roads, good school, churches, stores, conveniences,
handy td town. .
Portland is the natural market. Ship your, produce by
rail or water at small competitive rates.
We want producers here and we will make every pos
sible concession to the man of small means who is in
earnest . .
The mechanic, office man, streetcar man, railroad man,
the teamster, sawmill worker, clerk, laborer or business
man who seriously wishes to broaden his outlook will fmd.
