REAL ESTATE
AND
BUILDING NEWS
I* there are no more new buildings!
startf-d and with the completion |of i
those already in the hands of workmen i
the new ?an Francisco will be fourj
times larger than the old on*. The!
office structures that are being built}
ar " hi J?gor than their predc^ssors, j
affording more room for tenants, and i
the Fame is noticeable of the hotels,
lodging houses and apartment houses
that are springing up in all parts of
the city.
Previous to the fire San Francisco
presented more or less a ragged ap
pearance .and visitors were surprised)
at the incongruity of our streets.!
Stately edifices overlooked~shabby rows
of wooden buildings. A one story \
fhaok would be cheek by- jowl with a
three story structure, which
again would face a massive pile of \
stone and Iron. The new San Fran- j
olsco will to a certain extent be more j
uniform. Owners long have realized |
that to make their properties yield a j
frood Income they must have fine and |
attractive buildings. They also real
ized that the day xvas past when a
merchant said tha£ what was good
enough for his grandparents was good i
enough for him and that business could I
be as conveniently transacted in a|
shack as In a big building.
At the present rate of building, and
there seems no good reason to believe
that it will not continue, San Francisco
will be four times as big as It was be
fore the fire, and it Is yet too early to :
say how big it Will be eventually. A
rasual glance at any of the new build-,
injes ig sufficient to prove the truth of
this assertion. All the class A build
ings are far larger than those which
occupied their sites previous to the
disaster. Nor is this "largeness" solely
confined to the downtown district, but
pick out any building at random and
in any street and this is the case.
UPTOAVX nVII.IJIXGS
leaving the buildings downtown
where the greatest improvements
naturally may be expected and taking
Sutler- street at the corner of Hyde
street, for instance, there is the new ;
\u2666iranada hotel being built by Dr. Julius '
Rnst-nstirn. The new hotel is far larger;
and far more imposing than the old \u25a0
Granada, and though far from being
computed makes a striking showing,
fe^- >;ng: farther up Sutler street and on
ribe south side is the new hotel at the
corner of Gough, which is a decided
Improvement on the bui'.aings that
\u25a0were there before the fire.
The structures that are being pushed
to completion south of Sutter street
and east of Larkin aYe all larger than
those which . were there before April.
ISO 6. Then, coming down town as
far as Pine and ritockton the building
the Laws have put up cannot be com
pare*! with the tumbledown structures
that were a disgrace to the city for
many a day. Going north Chinatown is
t-ncounterod. Was there ever a greater
improvement in any section of the
country than in this?
The old Chinatown, with Its reek
insr alleys, hotbeds of vice and un
.cleanliness, itr vile rookeries and it.«
famous "Palace hotel," which for dirt;
and un-ivholesomeness had not its peer)
in any city in all Asia, all have been |
svv-;pt away and a new and apparently
a wholesome oriental quarter has been
constructed. Many of the buildings
would l»e an ornament to any city, and
some of the stores, particularly those
near California street, promise to be
a* handsome as any In the United
rfta^es. v", : y? : j;~
«L>IUE FOR IMPROVEMENT
The desire for Improvement is not
confined to any particular quarter, but
1s general. North beach, too, must
not be neglected in this connection,
for the buildings that have been put
up. from the great packing establish
ment to the more modest flat and house.
are all superior to those that were there
efore.
™ In the Mission finer buildings are
to be found everywhere. This is not
ronlined to the business establishments
alone, but to private dwellings also.
The most noticeable improvement is
naturally in the downtown district,
from the bay as far as Townsend
street All this district is building up
solidly. There are some small build
ings in Third street, but that street. and
Mission make as fine a showing as any
other streets in the hands of builders.
Market street, which was and e\-er
will be the great artery of the city,
has more large buildings under con
struction than any other highway. Take
the corner of Fourth and Market. There
Ss the Pacific building. In every way a
! finer building than the old one that
*tood at that corner. Opposite this at
the gore of Market and Ellis 'strsets
is the Westbank building, an office
building of the most advanced type,
eight stories high and equipped with
cverv modern convenience, which, it Is
said, \u25a0will be ready for tenants by Jan
uary 1.
The new Phelan block Is planned to
be superior in every respfect to the old
structure. No comparison can be made
between the Humboldt bank building
and the one that once stood on that
Kite. M-H.de Young has added to
and improved his building at Kearny
and Market streets. In fact, all the
new buildings along Kearny street are
finer than the old ones. At the south
west corner of Kearny and Eutter is an
example of this spirit, the Sherman &
Clay building.
FARTHER DOWN TOWN
Montgomery street can Justly claim
that It will be a finer street now than
before the fire. The Clunle building Is
a distinct Improvement upon the old
ramshackle concern that was at the
southwest corner of Montgomery and
California streets for many < years.
There is also the McCreery, bullfling at
the southeast corner of Montgomery
• and Pine, which is a better style of
building. The Bank of Italy building
is among the finest in San Francisco.
In California street Is the new Bank
of California building. Other sky
scrapers can fee mentioned, such as the
Welch estate building, the Johan
Schmidt building and the Lent build
in R.
Geary street also is making a good
showing, and from Kearny to Powell
are several fine buildings. l ; Union
square makes a strong bid for recog
nition and points to the Butler build
ing at the southwest corner of Geary
and Stockton 6treeta as an example of
toe s£rtctures that "are to adorn this
popular square. The Butler building is
a nine story class A. building of the
most modern type, designed In the
Italian renaissance 6tyle of architec
ture, the exterior being finished in Co
lusa sandstone. It will be * ready for
occupancy about February.!.
AT HALF MOOV BAY
The continued Interest manifested in
tl-e properties along the, line- of ; the
Oiean Shore railroad. ls well evidenced
U. the large sale of lots In the Half
I.Moon bay section. . The Half Moon Bay
land company, one of the lafgestoper
ators In this vicinity, reports a; great
demand both for El' Mar\ beach and
Highland Park properties. Much of this
interest is shown in the. interior -counf
ties, and citizens of Stockton. Sacra :
mento, Fresno and other points. In the*
valleys have decided to locate their
summer residences along, this beauti
ful beach. Heretofore Santa Cruz and
Pacific Grove have drawn these people,
but the proximity to the metropolis
and the natural advantages, of seaside
and mountains together with rapid
transit developments . are proving
strong Inducements for the investor
and home builder. Sunday excursions
of the Half Moon Bay land company
are well patronized by purchasers.
BEAUTIFUL I.OS ALTOS
Among the many suburban sites
which have been opened to the public
there are few so beautifully located as
Los Altos. In the Santa- Clara valley,
on the line of the Peninsular railroad,
which is to be operated by the Southern
Pacific by steam and electricity. Los
Altos Is so named because of the rising
ground, and from there a view of the
bay and the surrounding country can
be obtained. It is close to the town of
Palo Alto and also to Mountain View,
and its delightful situation has
recommended it to the professors of
the university, who have spoken for a
number of lots. It is shaded by mag
nificent oaks and the officers of the
company have^forbidden the destruc
tion of these stately trees.
The streets of the town are laid out
and have fine cement sidewalks. They
are not pitched at right angles to each
other, but are is circles. ! The Southern
Pacific has promised to build an artis
tic depot for the benefit of the city,
will be near the business cen
*ter. A creek flows past the residence
section of Los Altos and already sev
eral of the choicest lots • have been
selected by prominent San Francisco
people. ;iV--
SALE OF GOLF LINKS
A syndicate, headed by W. F. Am
brose, a local real estate operator; "W.
M. Byrnes, a capitalist of San Rafael,
and C. Sternbergh, a wealthy manufac
turer of Oakland, to be known here
after as the North San Rafael realty
company, has purchased the golf links
in Marin county valley. The property
involved in the transaction has more
than $00 acres, adjoins San Rafael and
is exclusively for high class residence
sites. The famous Los Gullnos creek
flows through this tract, which affords
the residents unusual conveniences and
pleasure of salt water bathing, fishing,
boating, etc. It is the intention of the
company to spend a large sum in im
proving and laying out the tract. Work
is to begin Immediately upon the
street and sewer system, when the
land will be placed on the market at
prices within the reach of all. -Vr.-'

SUPREME: COURT DECIDES
AGAINST OIL COMPANY
Defendant's Plea r That Company's
Improvements Are Not Bona
Fide Is Upheld
The supreme court yesterday upheld
the decision of the lower court in the
suit brought by the New. England and
Cofcllnga oil company against M. S.
Congdon to recover possession of cer
tain oil bearing land in Fresno county.
The New /England and Coalinga oil
company located a quarter section in
Fresno county, and with the exception
of building a shed thereon they failed
to improve the property. The defend
ant afterward claimed the
land on the ground that certain I im
provements had been made by him and
that he was a bonaflde holder. /'.-;
The , company brought suit to have
thej-defendant ejected on the ground of
prior title. The court, however, de
cided that Congdon was the bona flde
holder of the ground.
ACCUSED OF STEALING BRICKS
' Edward Daley was arrested by De
tectives Ryan and ODea yesterday. It

away 38,000 bricks belonging to James
Harrscher from the old Patrick build
ing, at Front and Market streets ; and
sold r them to B. Trost, rbuilder, for $5.50
per thousand. He did: not call for. the
money till? yesterday,; when the*detec
tives "arrested him. Daley says he got
permlsslorT~from • a man named- Mid
dlemasa to take the bricks. .Middle

FAILS TO PROVIDE FOR CHILD "
