The open-armed cordiality with which

Realty board.

He asked that the visitors should en
joy themselves in every way possible,
and followed his words of welcome
with a few brief remarks on the neces
sity of organization among realty men
of the state to bring about needed
measures and reforms.
"The Importance of organization in
all the professions is best seen through
the results which organization has at
tained," said Mr. Erkenbrecher.
Foremost among the addresses of the
cession was that of Leonard Merrill of
the Los Angeles Realty board. It
touched upon what the business had
done for California, the secrets of
business success, with the sterling
qualities of honesty, which, he said,
should underlie all dealings.
Other speakers of the session were
F. W. Crandall of Oakland, P. 8. Cas
tleman of Riverside and Francis Fer
rler of Berkeley.
Saturday the question of permanent
organization will be taken up, J. E.

When F. W. Crandall of Oaklund
aroso to deliver his address, everyone
dodged at the'i-eam of pale pink paper
he unfolded. But It was a false alarm;
his address was the briefest of the
day. It was "writ big," that's all.

pride, how it came about. It was that
wonderful "wesklt" — a. cross between a
Navajo blanket and a horse robe. No
one could beat that.
The official badge is light blue, but
singularly enough, nearly every visit
ing delegation adopted an orange badge
for Its own and almost everyone Is
adorned with two ribbons. The colora
may not match, but the badges are
worn Just the same.
There went up a loud guffaw when
Leonard Merrill anuounced that ho
had once been taken for a preacher.
Wonder why?
Erkenbrecher, of course, declared that
the proverbial "latch string was out"
and the golden key was free to all com
ers. That's characteristic of Loa An
geles.
Robert Baird of Oakland was chosen
secretary. He at once assumed the
desk In a way that showed he be
longed there.
W. K. Barnard la one of the leaders
of the Oakland "push." Mr. Barnard
believes that the "Gateway to Frisco"
will soon outstrip the western metrop
olis and advises everyone to "get In on
the ground floor." Why cross the bay
to reach a city, he asks, when one can
be reached without It?
Hubert Lee Bettner of Riverside de
clares that oranges are almost as good
as real estate, but the combination of
an orange grove on Itlverslde land Is
better than a gold mine. "You can't
beat It atop of earth" Is his enthusias
tic way of putting the matter. "The
east thinks all oranges grow In ' Rive
rside, and we have the most 'fruit-full'
city on the map."
K. J. Swayne Is boosting the Interests
of Ban Diego. To hla mind, It Is the
coming city of the coast. "Walt till the
canal Is dug," he says, "then we will be
It." •
P. T. Castleman of lllverslde made
one of the best talks of the day, about
"Signs on Property."
It was a long draw between Ynuye
and the Belasco on «.the theater party,
but the Belasco won. Perhaps the act
of . selling real estate !• art enough,
and is "to laugh;" anyhow, most of the
delegates wanted the comedy.
S. 8. Quacklnbosh of Berkeley dis
claims all relationship to the man who
made the grammars In the old days,
though he speaks "by the book," just
the same.
J. It. Black had his hands full run
ning two theater parties last night.
But he did both so well that everyone
was delighted.
The Berkeley men raised $150 and
brought down with them the quartet
from' the college, who enlivened the oc
casion with their songe. Clinton It.
