Even the | railroads are casting their eyes towards this great ocean resort project!” a | Such is the news that comes from the offices of e| i Me | the Oregon & Washington Development Company, Madison Ending ‘Thureday Niant | which has just announced its intention to establish at | Seahurst, on Cohasset Beach, “the finest ocean resort on the North Pacific Coast.” The offices of the company have been literally swarmed during the past five days with people who were eager to learn about the amusement city project —and a great many of them have reserved lots on the ocean front or near the beach, so as to take ad- vantage of the rise in prices that is expected to come when work on the various projects in conjunction with the ocean resort is actually started. Railways Pushing Towards Beach Recognizing the fact that Cohasset Beach has no «).{| superior on the entire Pacific Coast, the big railroad | systems have long had their eyes turned in that direc- | tion, and the Milwaukee system is at the present time building an extension towards the beach, which, it is believed, will reach the ocean front in a very short time. It is announced that the Milwaukee road will be completed by July 1 to Ray- mond, sister city of South Bend, on Wil- lapa Harbor, and will inaugurate train service to Raymond at that time. It is also a well known fact that the Mil- waukee system has purchased right of way from Raymond along the north arm of Willapa Bay, towards Cohasset Beach. This is the only beach that the Mil- waukee can reach, and the railroad com- pany advertises it extensively in its lit- erature, referring to it as “The finest, widest and hardest beach on the Pacific Coast.”” The railway says further that “as a bathing beach it is the safest on the Pacific.” Means Great Future The movement of the railroads pre- sages a great future for this ocean front- age, and the project for the establishment of a big ocean resort at SEAHURST is right in line with present developments. That there will be a big ocean resort on this beach is inevitable. The demand for it is insistent! It will easily develop into the “Playground of the Pacific Northwest,” and as such will draw thousands of pleasure seekers from all sections of the country. North Bank Road Also That the North Bank road will also be extended to Cohasset Beach is freely indicated by recent move- ments. Relative to this The South Bend Journal, pub- lished at South Bend, Wash., says: “It looks now as if it (The North Bank road) would skirt the ocean beach after it crosses the Willapa River below South Bend, coming up from the Columbia River.” Considerable talk is also heard about a proposed line of the Nagsthern Pacific, which would connect Hoquiam and Aberdeen and South Bend and Raymond by a short stretch of rail. And, The Journal continues: “It would take this road not only to tide water, but to Dey Alaska Ending Saturday Night | “She won't go, as hesaw my face when Lrequrued | er d rom asking Mary {f shé wosld 60] - "Does she want t nd stay with Jack untii he was ited walk enouate So be bronent home.

THERE'S NO PLAYGROUND TO COMPARE WITH THE REAL OCEAN BEACH the shores of the mighty Pacific. It is not believed a logical deduction that the Northern Pacific would halt its system within a stone‘s throw of one of the best beaches of the Pacific Coast.” Short Ride From Seattle SEAHURST is only 118 miles from Se- attle, and can be reached just as quickly from Seattle as Seaside, the Oregon ocean resort, is reached from Portland, a distance of 120 miles. Excursions will be run to SEAHURST this sum- mer, and it is planned to establish a tent city there early in July for the benefit of the many who are buying ocean front property and wish to get out on their own land to recuperate. It is reached by train and auto stage from Seattle, or by auto touring cars over one of the finest roads in the entire West. Plans have been made for the expenditure of more than $100,000 at SEAHURST in the construc-. tion of hotels, bath houses, a board walk, boulevard, amusement pier and dancing pavilion, these to furnish the nucleus for the building of a city of summer eee Rise in Values Predicted ects is destined to cause a big rise in property values is evident to all persons who are familiar with the histories of different seaside resorts in the United States. Among those who are now hastening to secure holdings at SEAHURST are persons who have watched the develop- ment of other ocean resorts, and who failed to take advantage of the big op- portunities they offered for quick profits from small investments. In this con- nection, a letter on file in the office of the Oregon & Washington Development Company, regarding values at Ore., is of interest, as showing the pos- sible profits in conjunction with SEA- HURST, where lots are selling today for as low as $25. This letter says: “I found that your contention regard- ing values of properties at Seaside was conservative, and on prices given me for lots near the Hotel Moore I have made a calculation showing that this property is held as high as $10,000 an acre, and that even as far as a half or three quarters of a mile from the hotel, lots fac- ing the sea are held at $1,250. I was informed that on Labor day last season 3,300 persons visited Seaside.” And yet the beach at Seaside is not to be come pared, in any manner, with that at SEAHURST. As for the project itself, the president of ome of Seattle’s largest banks writes: “With the experience your company has had in handling property, WHICH RE- FLECTS GREAT CREDIT QN ITS OFFI- CERS, I know without a doubt that you will be MORE THAN SUCCESSFUL in carrying out the plans you have under- taken.” Persons desiring information about SEAHURST opportunities are advised to act at once. reach eway Full information regarding SEAHURST, including beautifully illustrated literature, photos and maps and data on excursions, may be had on application to the Oregon & Phone Elliott That the establishment of these proj--
