M. . Killingsworth. the veteran Portland realty, operator, accompanied by his wife and daughters, has recent ly returned from a two months' sight seeing tour, throughout the east Mr. Killingsworth went east via the Cana dian route, making short stops at all points of Interest between Vancouver, B. C. and New York. "We visited a great many places of historical Interest," said Mr. Killings- worth.-"including Bunker Hill, Concord, and Lexington, the home of Louisa Ol- cott In fact there Is very little we did not see of the old hlstorlo records of the building of -the nation. Including George Washington's hpme at Mount Vernon. "One thing impressed me more than everything else on my trip Is the tre mendous development of New York city In the past 21 years. Wonderful Tunnels. ' "I was last in New Tork In 1891, and at that time the tallest building In the city was the World' building, which they .were Just completing, and that structure today Is scarcely a third' class building. There was just one bridge connecting Brooklyn and New Tork then, and now there are three. The tunnels underneath the city and the rivers are marvelous staggering to one who is unaccustomed to such wonderful developments. M have been more or less skeptical during the past three or four years when returning Portlanders would tell us that Portland Is the whole thing In the east, but I found out back there myself that it is true. Everywhere I went I found that Portland was more favorably mentioned than any other coast city. I account for this largely because of the fact that the Portland newspapers have continually put be fore the reading public of the world the astonishing facts connected with the building development or this city, the real estate activity, and the mar velous increases from month to month and from year to year in our bank clearings and our postal receipts. "The railroad development in tnu community is also responsible for the good opinion that easterners have' of us. Portland cannot be too grateful to James J. Hill for his Invasion of this western country and the conse quent stirring Into life and activity of the old Harriman system, has been a great agency in the upbuilding of Ore gon and its metropolis. Portland's Ore at Fa tore. "I found the people in New Tork and other parts of the east unusually well Informed as to our climatic conditions and our large undeveloped acreage. I met hundreds of people who are desir ous of coming to the Paciflo coast and I predict a big Influx of easterners to this state this year. These people be lieve that with the opening of the Pan ama canal the industrial life of the Paclfia northwest will take on - a de velopment little short of phenomenal. I returned borne with greater con fidence than I ever had before In the development of Oregon, with 10 times more assnrance than ever before, of the solid substantial growth of the city of Portland and of the fact that I have many times stated in the past' that Portland would become the largest city on the Pacific coast the New Tork of the Pacific. It is well known to the old residents at least, that for the past 25 years I have - firmly believed that Greater Portland was destined to be located between the rivers, and I come back from my trip to the east more convinced than ever that within a few years the harbor of. this city will be located on the Columbia river."- DEALS IN RESIDENCE PROPERTY REPORTED F.
