C. C. Patrick, of the Bridal Veil Lum
ber company, of Portland, was in the
city over Thanksgiving and is inter

ette valley lands, says the Salem Jour

of a syndicate that desires to get hold
of about 2000 acres of lands adjacent to
the Willamette river for raising hops,
loeanberries, potatoes and vegetables
on a large scale to supply, the Portland
market. 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. Mr. Pat
rick says these lands are the greatest
bargain at the above prices, and as
a great deal of the land will grow peach
es and other fine fruits, as fast as it
can be cleared it will be put on the
market. All these lands have fuel
wood and can be made productive the
first year.

erside addition for several miles along
the banks of the beautiful Rogue river.
Undoubtedly this stretch of land makes
one of the prettiest residential tracts to
be found anywhere In Oregon.
The Baber tract of 12 acres at the
north edge of Forest Grove, will be
platted into town lots and placed on
the market. Forest Grove Is gradually
extending her limits In all directions

the surrounding country.

little town of Brooks, on the S. P. rail
road, about eight miles north of Sa

business are the Asplnwall Bros., of
Brooks, who rightly deserve the title pf

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

Situated eight and a half miles south
east of Roseburg Is a limestone quarry
that gives promise of being the site
of a great cement manufactory at no
distant, day. 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:

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.
