. Boat Overturned,
Hugh Bra'dy, city grappler. recovered
the bodies of John Nagel and R. Fltx
geraJd at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
a short distance from where they were
seen to sink yesterday morning when
their canoe turned turtle. The bodies
are at Dunning & McEntee's. As the
ever technicalities In order to gain some
petty advantage.
It seems too bad that organized labor
has to contend with conditions or com
binations in which the. will of the voters
and the Interests of the entire state are
. submerged In a fuss over a few loaves
, and fishes. In other words It Is quite
' plain that Kay and Olcott and some
members of state boards are none too
large for the jobs which .the people of
' the state have placed then! In.
Let us hope that, under real popular
government Oregon will develop a
statesmanship worth while.

UNINTERRUPTED full front view don't be satisfied with
les, no matter what price you pay. Yon don't have
to buy a site with an outlook partially obstructed
or one that places the views out of the side windows.
Take Westover Terraces as the model) every site on
every Terrace Is completely In the forefront.
In the forefront, and look particularly at the location.
Run Washington street straight through without that bend at
Sixteenth street, and you find it strikes Westover Terraces
right In the center.
The sites are of different sizes; they vary in shape and the
prices suit everybody. Some are elevated 100 feet above Cor
nell road or 250 feet clear above Lovejoy street. But the
greatest feature about Westover Terraces is the way the
streets have ben engineered, from the level of Cornell road
right up to the highest point, the rise is gentle and uniform,
and the difference between walking up and walking down Is
scarcely, enough to be noticeable. One million tons of surplus
sand and gravel were cut off the hill for the express purpose
ofgetting these marvelous grades. Thev are absolutely un
equaled in view property in any city anywhere.
"Westover is better," and with arrangements now com
pleted for Spring homebuilding, the smallest first payment
builds tbe most attractive home on these West Side Terraces,
on positively the easiest terms. Get the proposition. Get it
now, consider it along with the best offer you know of, then
decide quickly before it is too late.
