WIth free locks and canal at Oregon City thiB syndicate sees an op portunity to market these products cheaper by water than ever before and with lands at $90to J100 per acre, as the syndicate is obtaining them, there will be a field for hundreds of poor families to get upon small tracts and raise products under contract.

The center of the loganberry indus try in Oregon if not In the world, Is the little town of Brooks, on the S. P. rail road, about eight miles north of Sa lem. The pioneers in the loganberry business are the Asplnwall Bros., of Brooks, who rightly deserve the title pf loganberry kings. Although the market for loganberries was somewhat glut ted a few years ago, the successful pro cess of evaporation has brought the loganberry to the front and hundreds of acres are being set out all over the Wil lamette valley. The berry is very pro lific and yields an enormous crop and tinder prevailing prices It is said grow ers will net from $100 to $150 profit per acre.

The quarry was dlacov. ered and is now owned by D. W. Rfedle,' a cement engineer tit over SO years' ex perience In Germany and the United f States. Since acquiring the property; covering an area of 280 acres, a little over a year ago, Mr. Rledle gave out practically no information to. the pub-' llo regarding the richness" of hit hold ings until this, week, when he received the preliminary, report of Dr. W. Mich- aells, of Chicago, one of the leading ce ment engineers of the world, who made a personal Inspection ' of the property last August and took away samples of rock for analysis. ,-.- In his -report to Mr. Rledle this week. Dr. Mlchaells makes the statement that he :'wlll endeavor to prove by analysis that you -have an abundance of suita ble limestone and shale on your prop erty, which, mixed in the proper propor tions, will make Portland cement of the highest grade," To the person un acquainted with operations in cement the full meaning of that statement is utterly lost, Its real Importance lies In the announcement of the limestone and shale occurring In the same quar ry. Few quarries contain them both and both are absolutely necessary to the production of the highest grade of com merclal cement. Most of the cement manufacturer in this country are obliged to ship their limestone from one quarry ad shale from another, entailing expense of transpor tation and proportionately higher cost to consumer that would not obtain If the two essential constituents occurred in the same tract of land: G. T: Hoover, of Burley, Idaho, has made a deal near Merlin, whereby he takes over the 40-acre ranch of F. I Keeps at a consideration of $4000. The property Ilea two mile west of Mer lin. ..

It The Addition with Character Less than six months ago a young married man came tot bur office to make iri- . quiry about our plan for helping homebuilders in Laurelhurtt He said that he had been married three years and was living in a house for which he was paying $35 per month rent It took us just 20 minutes to show him the folly of living in a rented house when by taking advantage of our Homebuilding plan he could : make his rent money pay for a home of his own. The result was that he went to Laurelhurst and selected a lot where He w9Qle3 to build. We procured him a building loan of $3000 for five years. ; He selected his own architect and contractor, built his house, and a few weeks ago, with his " wife and baby, he moved into one of the handsomest six-room cottages in Port land. He is now paying for his home with his monthly rent check. In about three years he will have his lot paid for. i Suppose this man had continued paying rent for three years. He would have ' paid out $1260 and would have been just as far from owning a home as he was when he began. As it is, he will have a home nearly paid for at the end of the three years, he will have learned a valuable lesson, he will be a better citizen; : but above all else he will be filled with that indescribable pride that comes to the man who lives beneath his own roof. Is there any reason why you can't do the same thing? Are you interested iri getting a home? Are you tired of paying rent? If you are, come to our office' and let us explain to you our plan for helping homebuilders.
