A. Robertson was a former practicing attorney at Port land, Oregon, graduate in law from the University of Mich igan, at Ann Arbor. He served throughout the world war, ending that service aa Assistant Military Attache at Rome, Italy. Mr. Robettson has been engaged in business abroad most of the time since tne world- war, but returns to Salem every year to pass several months at his borne in Kingwood. - In 1910 Mr. Robertson made his first investment In the Salem dis trict, purchasing- the farm on which Kingwood park and Klmrwood ter races are now located. Later he sold much of this land to a development company that featured Kingwood park, but retained the land now ' known as Kingwood Heights. Al though he began to Improve this tract in 1911 by the Installation of the water system, now known as the West Salem Water company, and also by leading to the tract from the Salem side of the county bridge the transmission line from which West Salem Is now supplied with electricity he decided the time was not yet right for the proper de velopment of his tract. However, with the great growth and, develop ment of Salem, that time has now arrived. The work of building, tan proving, and- selling is now under way, in charge of Biddy Bishop, . until recently of the Capitol Mo tors, Inc., of Salem; Mr. Bishop will devote his entire time to this work. Mr. Robertson has shown his faith In the future of Kingwood park and West Salem most substantially by building a- beautiful stucco bun galow court of nine pretty English style bungalows, called Edgewater Court, and a beautiful building of concrete and steel construction for stores and apartments at the en trance to Kingwood park. Before- disposing, of his holdings ' for the development of the various new additions of Kingwood park and Kingwood terraces, in 1911, Mr. Robertson laid out two future boule vards circling the heights back of West Salem, having In mind the fu ture proper development of . that charming locality for the future great city of Salem, when It will have, as It should, both sides of the Willamette. It has always been his conviction that county lines cannot deprive Salem of the great asset ot the capital city. For nearly 15 years Mr. Robert son's work has taken him constant ly to the high spots of four conti nents, but his faith In the future of Salem and the Willamette val ley has been steady and unfailing, and he Is happiest when right here where he occupies a charming home on Kingwood Heights.
