"I never took a trip that ; cemented
me more thoroughly to Portland, as m
recent trip to ixs Angeles with the Ro-

prominent local realty dealer, who. re
turned from Los Angeles last week.
"One of the observations that I made
while in, Los Angeles, Is that Portland
realty values are much, lower than in
Los Angeles. The highest priced busi
ness property is held at 815.000 a front
foot while the highest priced piece of
property in Portland is no more than
18000 per foot" said Mr. Vincent - .
"What i Portland lacks and what It
most needs is the spirit of boost. Port
land is not awake to Its opportunities.

city than any other on the oast and
