REVIEW OF REAL ESTATE.
The Interest In City Property
as an Investment Is
Extending.
PROSPECT OF IMMIGRATION.
Timely Views Upon the Settlement
of the Country Lands of
This State.
The real estate market for the past week
has been progressive. As repeatedly cited
ii* these columns, the general interest in
real estate as an investment is steadily
growing and extending.
What might be termed tne regular run
of real estate business has been equal in
volume and perhaps more satisfactory to
agents the past week than heretofore. The
majority of the sales are either of resi
dence lots or of improved residence prop
erty. Some central property and a few
acre tracts have changed hands the past
week. The most important sale of inside I
property was the southeast corner of Fol
som and Sixth streets, 50x90, for $36,000, by
G. H. Umbsen & Co. The improvements
consist of a two-story frame structure de
voted to business purposes ahd renting for
$267 a month.
. The loans made and recorded on City
property during the week ending Satur
day, August 31, amounted to $323,554. The
two most important were $65,000 for two
years at 6 per cent by the .Regents of the
University of California to Sampson Tarns
on the property 66:8x155, on the southeast
line of Market, 190 northwest of Second
street, and $54,000 at 6% per cent by the
German Savings and Loan Society to John
W. McDonald on eight different pieces of
property in the Western Addition and one
piece of wholesale property as follows:
Northwest corner of Devisadero and Eddy,
62:6x100; lot on north line of Vallejo, 125
west of Van Ness avenue, 25x137:6; prop
erty on the west line of Devisadero, 6S :9
north of Ellis street, 34:4>^x125;
southeast corner of Gough and Green
streets, 2Sxl00; property on the south line
of Vallejo, 115 east of Gouch, 30:2x137:6;
on the south line of O'Farrell, 125 west of
Devisadero, 50x137:6; on the north line of
Sacramento, 100 west of Sansome, 16:8 x
59:9; at the southeast corner of Post and
Devisadero, 60x112:6, and the southwest
corner of O'Farrell and Devisadero, west
125. south 137:6, east 22, etc. Other large
loans were : By the regents of the Uni
versity of California to Joan N. G. Hunter,
$20,000 for two years at 6 per cent on
property on the west line of Grant avenue,
22 south of Bush street, south 104, west
130:5, north 58, east 22:11, etc.; by
the La Societe Francaise, $10,000 tor
one year, at 7 per cent, on property on the
south line of Bush, 71:8 west of Hyde, west
66:1, south 117:6, east 42:9, etc.; by the
California Title Insurance and Trust Com
pany, $14,000 for one year, at *_ j.^ per cent, on
the following parcels of outside lands: On
the west line of Seventh avenue, 225 south
of Point Lobos avenue, 25x120; on the
northeast line of D street and Eighth
avenue, north 122:751, east 40, south
118:614 and west 40 2 ; and on the north
line of D street, 40:2}-; east of Eighth ave
nue, east 25:1 9-16, north 115 :11"4, west 25,
south 118:6*4; and by the Security Savings 1
Bank, $14,000 for one" year on 65x90, on the I
west line of Valencia, 130 south of Twenty- j
fourth street.
The releases recorded during the past
week amounted to $128,587. Among the
largest granted were: By the German
Savings and Loan Society, $10,000 on
80x62:6 at the northeast corner of Fifth
and Harrison; by the Hibernia Savings
and Loan Society, $22,500 on 24x75 on the j
west line of Annie street, 65:6 north of
Eddy, and 25x65:6 on the north line of
Eddy street, 137:6 east of Mason; by the I
California Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany, $10,000 on 137:6x120 at the northeast
corner of Gough and Fulton ; and by Alex
ander W. Wilson, $16,000 on 125x70 at the
northwest corner of Fulton and Scott
streets.
SETTLEMENT OF COUNTRY LANDS.
Statistics show that nearly seven-twelfths
of the increase of population to the United
States during the past ten years have con
gregated in the cities and this tendency to
flock tothe city has been increasing for
many decades. The ratio of inequality is !
increasing with such a degree of rapidity
as to be alarming. It is estimated that
while the population of this country has
increased twelve-fold since the year 1800,
the inhabitants of the cities have increased
ninety-fold. This problem is perhaps more
perplexing in California than elsewhere,
as more than 50 per cent of this State re
side in the cities. It is claimed that this
excessive proportion of the population of the
city indicates an excess of non-producers.
The fact that the inequality is becoming
greater all the time shows the necessity of
using every legitimate means of settling
up the available farming lands of the
State. For this reason, if for no other, the
efforts of those land companies which are
inducing immigration from among the
farming" classes of other States to come
among us and help us develop the manifold
resources of our country lands by main
taining Eastern offices and distributing
literature with regard to this State are de
serving of consideration at this time.
Lloyd Tevis, president of the Kern
County Land Company, the largest organ
ization in the State engaged in the recla
mation and subdivision of farming lands,
in discussing during the past week the sub
ject of the further settlement of country
lands, said:
The Kern County Land Company has spent
many thousands of dollars to carry the Infor
mation into every Eastern hamlet and home
that the average annual income of the Califor
nia farmer is greater than that derived from
the cultivation of the soil anywhere else in the
United. States. For twenty* years we have
striven to build up a thick and prosperous
country settlement on our lands around the
town of Bakersfield.
■•The times- haven't justified the outlay of
means in advertising during the past two or
three years, but with the general resumption
of business all over the country now becoming
apparent immigration to California will be
possible. The Eastern farmer must be able to
sell at all, if not at a reasonable figure, before
he can be induced to look for a home in the
West. Inquiries for prices and market oppor
tunities have led us to consider methods of
future action. Our gigantic proposition was
not feasible before the advent of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. with the completion of the
San Joaquin Valley line we expect a new im
petus to settlement.
We have 325,000 acres of fertile soil, from
which every possible element of chance is re
moved from agricultural pursuits. To supply
the water- needed, the Kern River is tapped
with a large number of canals of varying size,
having an aggregate length of over 300 miles,
with some 1200 miles of laterals by which the
water is distributed. The cost does not exceed
$1 50 per acre annually, which is small, to be
sure, compared with the assurance of a large
crop, no matter what the weather may be. Iso
one is better prepared to appreciate such a
boon than the Eastern fanner.
Homer Wilson, one of the owners of. the
New England colony of Tehama County,
in discussing the question of settlement of
country lands, had the following to say :
Under proper management ' the successful
colonization of the large holdings of desirable
California lands can be carried out. But it
must be done through a different medium than
that generally engaged in at the present time.
In the first place, we must offer to those who
really want a home in California that is attrac
tive, self-sustaining and profitable, lands on
which such a home can be made. This means
that we must offer them our best land*. If we
do this there will be few disappointments, for
there are but few places in the world where
the home-maker can get such a reward of fruit,
flowers and vegetables for bis labor as in Cali
fornia. Then again, if we succeed in this great
movement, we must take a friendly interest in
those who come among us to make their
homes and see that they have the benefit of
our experience, at least.- This will enable them
to get the best results of their efforts, by hav
ing all their development work done in the
proper time and proper manner. * In short, we
should be just as anxious to see our colonists
succeed as to sell them our lands.
E. E. Harlow, a real eatate broker o!
Stockton and agent for the Stockton Col
ony, when interviewed upon the subject of
settling up the country lands, said:*
The powerful organizations promoting col
ony propositions in California are the princi
pal agencies engaged in disseminating infor
mation with regard to the farming lands of
this State in such a way as to be effective.
Most of these organizations are not commun
istic in any sense, but were formed as was the
organization we represent to carry out a sys
tem of irrigation and permanent advertising.
The Stockton Colony is situated in the south
eastern part of San Joaquin County (of which
the city of Stockton is the county seat and also
the commercial and railroad inland center of
the great San Joaquin Valley and gold mining
districts of the State), near the Stanislaus
River, being a most magnificent body of
the most fertile land to be found in the State of
California.
The soil is a deep, rich loam, easily culti
vated, made up of the fine particles that have
been disintegrated by erosion and the chem
ical action of the atmosphere, being in fact the
accumulated washings from the Sierra Nevada
mountains during countless centuries, and
distributed over the surface of the country by
the streams flowing from the mountain can
yons to the level valley below.
The land is level and admirably adapted to
irrigation on account of the extreme deptl* of
the soil and excellent natural drainage. The
Stanislaus and San Joaquin Water Company's
canals afford ample facilities for irrigation,
which will be furnished to our colony at $1 50
per acre per annum.
We have an Eastern office, from which we
propose to issue bulletins upon the productiv
ity, climate, natural opportunities and
general advantages of this State, and let me
say in conclusion that just as these attractions
become known will the settlement ot the
country make progressive strides exceeding
any it has ever taken.
Frank J. Sullivan, the local agent of the
Morse Colony, when interviewed in his
offices in the Chronicle building, spoke en
couragingly as follows : •
The future of our great State will be im
proved materially by the subdivision of large
farming tracts and settlement thereon by in
dustrious fruit and vegetable farmers and the
raising of hogs and poultry. Those people to
day constitute the more substantial class\>f the
population of our country. If we look around
us we find the small rancher prospering and
the larger struggling under many difficulties.
In the northern part of San Joaquin County
a great portion of valuable fruit land hitherto
given up to grain production is being trans
formed into healthy productive orchards and
vegetable gardens in tracts of ten, twenty and
forty acres to the profit of the community and
the farmer. The Morse Colony, situated seven
miles north of Stockton on the Woodbridge
irrigation canal, embraces a body of sandy
loam soil, which might be quoted as an illus
tration of the results to be accomplished in the
subdivision of land for settlers with limited
means.
The subdivision of this tract has resulted in
bringing to San Joaquin . County a number of
desirable acquisitions to the community in in
dustrious settlers who have, by reason of the
productiveness of the soil, the irrigation and
transportation facilities afforded by this par
ticular colony, prospects of a most profitable
investment. .
C. W. McAfee of McAfee Bros., dealers
in city and country real estate, said in
speaking of coliniza'tion in this State:
The one cry beard is immigration. Give us
more people is the demand of the lawyer, doc
tor, manufacturer, real estate dealer and
farmer. Increased immigration to this State
will largely be the result of the proper adver
tising ot the wonderful and varied attractions
of the State. The dealer in country real estate,
and in fact all lines of business, may thank the
colonization companies for the good work they
are doing in advertising California abroad.
Smaller propositions cannot afford to maintain
the same Eastern and foreign agencies and
spend the vast sums in distributing literature
upon the resources of this State that colony or
ganizations do.
The Palermo Colony, for which we are gen
eral agents, has spent thousands of dollars in
spreading the good name of California from
an agricultural standpoint, and never disap
pointed any one from that standpoint
who has ever located on lands here. I cited
our colony just to mention an injustice
which is, however, common to all lines of busi
ness. We come In competition with unscrupu
lous agents who are representing California's
poorest lands as being first-class. As poor land
costs less, so can it be sold at a smaller figure
than rich land, and especially where the crops
are guaranteed by irrigation, as ours is. The
newspapers ought to show up some of these
misrepresented, whose agents infest Eastern
and European markets. Put a premium on
those doing a fair business and maintain the
fair name of this State.
It should be understood that Palermo is a
colony only in the sense that it is a compara
tively new settlement, dating from the year
1887. There is nothing of a communistic
nature in the enterprise, and no tie of a com
mon belief or any peculiar practices among the
colonists. Its advantages are open to all
classes on the same terms, and every resi
dent and owner is independent of every other
one.
NEWS FBOM CITY OFFICES.
H. A. Smith of the firm of Will E. Fisher
& Co. has returned from an extensive tour
of the southern part of the State. •
Major Victor Duboce, in cbarge of the
City department of Easton, Eldridge &
Co., has issued a beautiful little catalogue
upon the row of English cottage houses
just being completed on California street,
at the corner of Second avenue.
On next Saturday at 2 p. M. an auction
sale of a number of "fine business lots will
be held at the salesrooms and offices of
William J. Dingee, 460 Eighth street, Oak
land. The lots front on San Pablo avenue
and Twenty-third street. Easton, Eldridge
& Co. are the City agents.
Jacob Herman has begun the erection of
another cottage in the Heyman Tract on
the north side of Twenty-third street, 90
feet from Hoffman avenue.
An active demand for improved city
property of Stockton is reported by the
firm of Henderson & Carter. The demand
comes principally from Oregon, Wisconsin
and Illinois. Inquiries for business loca
tions are frequent from bakers, dry goods j
men and grocers from all parts of the
State. This firm reports sales aggregating
over $20,000 last week, and predicts an ac
tive market for the fall season.
W. A. Daggett of the Stockton firm of
A. A. Dudley & Co., was in the City dur
ing the week, closing up a real estate deal
of considerable importance. An evidence
of the prosperity of Stockton may be
gleaned from the fact that these dealers are
putting on their second addition this sea
son. Their plan of operation is to sell on
a small cash payment and $5 monthly in
stallments, without interest on deferred
payments.
The old adage that everything comes to
him who waits is exemplified in real estate
speculation as in everything else. Possi
bly a search of the records would show
that a good many lots on the pretty South
western Mission slopes have been in the
possession . of ' owners who bought during
some homestead excitement of a quarter of
a century or so ago. It is still further
likely that lots for years considered value
less have turned out to be comfortable nest
eggs for their possessors. Such a con
dition for the better has been brought
about by the introduction of cable and
electric street-cars.
. Falling in line with the advance of prog
ress in the outlying districts, comes the
subdivision and sale of one of the finest
pieces of property, in every particular,
that could be wished for as a site for a
medium-priced lot for a homestead, that
may be bought on terms that place the
land within the reach of all. Baldwin &
Hammond are the agents who are hand
ling the land in question, which is the
property of the Castro-street Land Com
pany, situated on Chenery street, extend
ing from Thirtieth street for about three
blocks south and west from the intersec
tion of these two thoroughfares. Sloping
gently, as it does, toward the south, it is
afforded sun exposure, as well as a most
perfect drainage, by reason of its topo
graphy. The. streets have been made
winding, which add greatly to the beauty
of the landscape. Sewers have been placed
in all the streets; water mains have been
extended to every, lot, and, in fact," every
thing is in readiness for building on the
lots. .. „-' 7..' . '- 7
But a small amount in cash, is required
on a purchase, with the balance payable in
monthly installments of $10 each.

Will Be Honored.
At the session of the Supreme Council of the
Order of Chosen Friends, to convene at Cleve
land, Ohio, on the 9th inst., two of the grand
officers, one of them a Californian, will be
specially honored. One is Howard H. Morse,
supreme councilor, a well-known lawyer of
New York, who joined the order in 1881. Two
Howard H. Morse, Supreme Councilor.
years later he was chosen supreme councilor,
and at every session since was chosen to fill
that honorable position. At the coming ses
sion he will again be chosen. Mr. Morse served
as a lieutenant in the Union army during the
civil war and in 1865 was admitted to the bar.
He is a member of a number of fraternal or
ganizations and is rated one of the best
informed men in the United States in regard
to fraternal matters and laws. The other to
be honored is C.M.Arnold of this City, who
holds the office of supreme assistant councilor.
In the line of promotion he should be chosen
supreme councilor, but as that cannot be done,
by a special vote he will be passed over the
head of the supreme councilor and made past
supreme councilor, receiving the honors with
out filling the chair. Mr. Arnold is a well
known business man who came to California
in 1852. He absented himself from this City
for some time, but returned, and has been re
siding here continuously for twenty years. He
C. 21. Arnold, Assistant Supreme
Councilor.
has been a member of the Chosen Friends for
thirteen years and has with honor filled all
chairs. He also Is connected with other fra
ternal organizations and has taken a deep
interest in fraternal matters, working for the
best interest of every organization he is con
nected with. .••'-'.

new sections as the result of his labors.
Past Chancellor E. J. Wolfe left yesterday for
the East to attend as a delegate a Supreme
Lodge of a sister fraternal organization. He
will visit Pythian lodges and his report will
no doubt be of interest to ail.
At the beginning of the year the subordinate
lodges of the Order of Knights of Pythias num
bered 6428. Of this number 6344 were in the
United States and the others were in: Prov

A decision of importance to the members of

Court of Washington within the past few days.
Some time ago W.Hill Thomas, who was a
member of the order, died and his widow.
Louise M. Thomas, who was nominated as the
one entitled to the amount named in bene
ficiary certificate, presented her demand.
Payment was resisted on the ground that the
certificate was null and void, because it had
been obtained by false representations. The
widow sued the Grand Lodge of Washing
ton and judgment was given in her favor by I
the Superior Court of Fierce County, which re
fused to allow the Grand Lodge to prove that
after the man Thomas hail subscribed to the
following, after examination by the medical
examiner,
I hereby certify that the answers to the above
questions are correct; that they are given with a
full knowledge on my part that any misstatement
or perversion of facts will work forfeiture of all my
rights as a beneficiary of the order,
He had boasted that a number of the answers
he had given were untrue. The Supreme
Court held that this was error and has ordered
a new trial. - 7 v.'' :

Grand President Abe Jonas returned from
his northern trip on Thursday and reports
that in Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and other
points the order is in a flourishing condition.
At Portland he was tendered a grand reception
and there was met by D. S. Hirshberg, grand
secretary of the Grand Lodge, A. O. U. W. At
Spokane he initiated seven members.
During this month the order will pay four
beneficiary certificates of $2000 each, the
latest being on a death reported on the 13th of
August. Secretary Levison feels happy that
the order is able to pay death benefits inside
of thirty days.
Since last February Secretary Levison, who
then succeeded the late Louis Blank, has, with
the assistance of Jonas Heiman, the superin
tendent of B. B. Hall, worked very hard to
secure a dividend for the stockholders. So
well have they succeeded that a dividend of
15 cents per share was declared on the Ist of
August. Now the secretary ha* a surprise for
the stockholders and that is that during Sep
tember he will announce to them that they
will receive a further dividend of 15 cents a
share. This is the first time that the building
has paid dividends two months in succession.

The spirit of patriotism is making itself man
ifest among the Native Daughters of the
Golden West. Some time since the grand pres
ident notified the various parlors that it would
be well to display the American flag at all
meetings. Acting upon the suggestion the
ladies of Buena Vista Parlor No. 68 purchased
a beautiful . silk flag, and on lest Thursday
night it was presented with appropriate cere
monies, Mrs. C. S. Baker making the presenta
tion speech. The flag was received on behalf
of the parlor by Miss May Tb wer, the president.
