Activity in the Oakland Real Estate Market
Judge Waste Tells of Value of Clean ;Life
MANY HIGH CLASS NEWS
HOMES ARE BEING BUILT
East Side Development in
Residence Property Is
Phenomenal
TRAVEL INCREASING
Trolley Roads Send Many to
Settle in Districts Near
Bay Cities
OAKLAND, Nov. 24. — One of the most
noteworthy features of the east side
development during recent months is
the unbroken record of new homes of
a high class which have been erected
In the suburban districts. This growth
borders on the phenomenal. All of the
territory from Oakland as far east as
Mies has felt the steady march of the
home Beekers, who have established
themselves by hundreds in the various
towns and their environs.
TRAVEL. IXCRGASBS
Suburban travel has Increased heav
ily and every indication is that this
gain In population is not only perma
nent but means a continuance of the
etream which haß moved eastward to
settle among the orchards and gardens.
Many beautiful home sites have been
developed along the lines of communi
cation with this city. The expansion is
so noticeable that one finds hardly a
break from town to town in. the strings
cf new dwellings. Among the many
ornate residences completed on <in
couree of construction is that of Rob
ert H. Collins, which is being erected
on the Mulford ranch at west San Le
andro. It is of bungalow^- type . and
gives a good idea of the attractive
character of homes that are going ,
forward.
REFLECT GENERAL. GROWTH
These suburban conditions reflect the
general growth in and around the east
side cities. While most heavy trans
actions in realty are blocked for the
tim« being by the financial conditions,
building projects appear to be nor
mal and contractors seem to. have con.-
Biderable work on hand."
William J. Laymance of the Lay
mance Realty company considers that
the general tone of the realty market
Is good. He points to the closing out,
of one $600,000 transaction — the Canning
block deal — and sales of properties
from 115,000 to $40,000 as evidence that
huyers look upon the financial situa
tion as a temporary one. •

"Wlckham Havens, president of TVlck

There is noticeable a distinct increase In the
Tolomc of business durlag the last week. The
fact that all ta* real estate dealers in Oakland
«re txkisg back books and certificates is no
fiocbt rcsponslbls for a rood deal of Use activ
ity. \u25a0 Purchasers, who without this medium of
exchange would be enable to transact business,
are able to buy without sacrificing any discount
for cash.

RANCH PROPERTY SOLD
George W. Austin reported the clos
ing of several sales of ranch properties
and the opening of negotiations for the
exchange of a large southern Califor
nia orange grove for business property
In Chicago. He said:
"Oakland's spirit of progress and
successful efforts toward material ad
vanoement as a commercial city give
promise of a future which cannot be
forecasted. We are going ahead stead
ily and I see no reason why a healthy
and active realty market should not
be speedily restored. In spite of the
legal holidays, the cutting down of
ordinary business \u25a0frith the banks, we
have many inquiries for properties.
With the financial situation at normal
nothing can block our rapid growth."

SMALL ORPHAN ESCAPES
AND TURNS BANDIT
Terrorizes Residents of San
Anselmo by His Daring
SAN. RAFAEL: Nov,- 24.— Romeo Den
ning, aged 13, who 'recently escaped
from the Presbyterian orphanage, sit
uated on the county road between ihere
and San Anselmo, is creating a reign
of terror among residents of the latter
place. The surrounding hills are be
ing searched by armed men tonight as
a result of the boy's depredations.
The lad Is accompanied by another
boy whose name Is not known to the
authorities and whose cunning is said
to be fully equal to that of young Den- i
ning. Both are armed, and according
to'people living in San Anselmo do not
hesitate to shoot. Denning's father,
it is "said, is at Folsom. The boy es
caped some two weeks ago. and took to
the hills, where he camped at various
points.
• A -. continual succession of petty
thefts, ranging from chickens to jew
elry, caused a concerted action on the
part of those whoso homes had been
entered, resulting in the tracing of the
two lads and the establishing of con
clusive' evidence that they were the
perpetrators.
Afew nights ago a valuable pin was
stolen from the residence of J. -Taylor
at San Anselmo and. the Taylors are
positive that the Denning boy was the
thief.
The. Denning boy Is unusually -large
for: his age and has been the cause of
much trouble. .
"Constable George Agnew* has been
notified and will .take immediate steps
to apprehend the boys.
