IMPROVEMENTS IN
MISSION PLANNED
Promotion Association Prepares
Tax Budget Report Outlining
Municipal Betterments
F. J. CHURCHILL
.*\u25a0 rcri'tary Mission Promotion Actsoclation I
Kncouraged by its success in effecting
the selection of a Mission site for the
state armory and auditorium the Mis
sion promotion association's committee
on commercial development has out
lined'in a tax budget report which will
be submitted to the directors of the
association at their next .meeting a
series of necessary improvements, the
realization of which will enable the
Mission to keep pace in the line of
jnunieipal betterment with the atten
tion it is attracting from all portions
of the state. The report has been
compiled with .the assistance of the
other standing- committees of the asso
ciation.
The personal attention of Mayor Mc-
Carthy has been called to the fact that
sn the entire Mission there are approxi-
mately only 50 acres of improved park
\u25a0\ and playground area, as compared wlth
2,500 acres north of Market street, not-
withstanding the fact that there is an
inverse ratio of children in the two
districts. The mayor has pledged his
assistance to the association and has
already requested the park commis
sioners to proceed at . once with the
further improvement of Holly park
and Beroal square at Prcclta avenue
and Folsom street. The report of the
committee recommends that provision
l.c made in the municipal budget for
the thorough improvement of' Franklin
square between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth, Bryant and Hampshire streets;
Uuena VJsta F.-juare. bounded by Twen
tieth. Twenty-first, Vermont streets and
Potrero avenue; Jackson park between
Marlposa, Seventeenth, Carolina and
Arkansas streets; Siinnyside . square
bounded by Sussex, Thirty-third, Stan
: an streets and Twin Peaks avenue.
MICH WOIttC I* NEEDED
The report emphasizes the deplorable
condition of the streets surrounding
GarflcJd- square between Twenty-fifth,
Twenty-sixth, Harrison streets and
Treat avenue, and those bounding the
Mission park between. Eighteenth,
Twentieth, Dolores and Church streets.
The M;.«£ion park has not even a curb
stone around it, although it is the
principal nnd most frequented pleas
ure ppot in the entire district. Side
walks are also badly needed around
the Mission park and the paving of the
Nineteenth street boulevard bisecting
the park, as well as the paving of
Church. Dolores and Twentieth streets
>ire necessities*. An effort will be made
t& have the budget provide for the per
formance of this work and the parking
of Dolores street from Seventeenth
street southerly, so as to make it a
boulevard in fact as well as in name.
The needs of the children in the
outlying quarter of the Mission have
been partiaJly provided for* by the con
version of the House of Refuge tract
at San Jose and Ocean avenues into a
park and children's playground. After
a determined stand th'o association was
successful Jn having this tract placed
under the jurisdiction of the park com
missioners. The report recommends
that the fences at present around the
park will be removed and that the en
tire level portion of It be converted
into -a baseball diamond and play
ground. It advises that immediate
steps also be taken to have the county
jaij now on the crest of the tract
lemoved to a location farther down the
peninsula. A petition has already been
forwarded to the park commission ask
ing that tjie grounds be named at once
Balboa park, so as to give it a distin
guishing name and one commemorat
ing one of the principal characters of
our history. y
BETTER SCHOOL. FACILITIES
The committee calls attention to the
advisability of bettering the school fa
cilities of the Mission. It recommends
the increase of playground space in the
Douglass primary school, at Nineteenth
and Collingwood streets; the Edison
primary school, at Church and Hill
streets; the.Haw.thorne primary school,
on Shotwell street near Twenty-third
Statistics are given to show the con
gested condition -of the Monroe and
Marshall primary schools and the need
of a grammar school in the section
bounded by Potrero avenue and Rhode
Island, Mariposa and Twenty-second
streets. The aid of the association's
committee on schools, school buildings
and other public buildings is asked to
relieve these conditions. ?
Other important matters recom
mended by the report are an appropri
ation of approximately $100,000 to com
plete the construction of the Mission
viaduct; additional appropriations to
complete the improvement of Fifteenth
avenue south, between San Bruno ave
nue and Kentucky street, and of San
Bruno avenue south of Twenty-sixth
street; an /.appropriation to ex
tend Sixteenth street west "of Cas
tro so- as to connect by *; direct
route the Mission, Potrero and Sunset
and facilitate the starting of work on
the Twin peaks tunnel and the bitu
mlnizing of Eighteenth street between
-Noe and Castro streets, which }s the
only block of the principal artery to
the Eureka valley which is paved with
basalt blocks.
Following the consideration of the
report by the^ directors -of the. associa
tion, the several matters approved will
he intrusted to the different standing
committees of the association, and a.
concerted effort will be made jo-haye
the different . projects , favorably report
ed .upon by the mayor, the board of
supervisors and the different city com
missions. - '' . . • * • -
\u25a0In a.' supplement : to. the report It is
deemed advisable to revive the proj
ect of widening Army street' to. 100
feet between •" Mission ; and Kentucky,
In conjunction with the campaign. In
favor of the India basin act, which will
be submitted to the voters, ln Novem
ber. The widening of Army street
and the readjustment of Its grade, at
.Massachusetts street avould create a
direct road from the junction of Van
Ness avenue and Market street Through
the Mission to the proposed land
locked harbor at the: mouth- of : Islais
<reek. It bas^ been demonstrated .by
actual test that a "load can be- hauled
from the harbor site to i' any \ point
south qf Eighth street in shorter time
than can be done at present' from the
lumber wharves at, the- foot of J Powell
•street. If. Potrero"' avenue "could be
extended between Twenty
fourth and Army, streets, another street
100 ..feet'- wide could^be" used for traffic
coming from the harbor to: the manu
facturing quarter of the Mission and
the.* western Potrero." : =. <

MENDOCINO COUNTY
RANCHERS PROSPER
Old Settlers Refuse to Leave !
and Many New Families
Secure Locations
"So one who gets acquainted with'
Mendocino . county ever, wants, to! leave
it," say the old settlers^of. that favored
region. The- saying is being ;literally
fulfilled now. New people are locating
at a "great, rate,; and from- all indica
tions this year will, be a record breaker
in the sales of ranches and farms. ',
Near IJkiah a tract of some -2,800
acres has been sold recently to a^group
of families, who intend to. colonize, it
at once. Tho Cleland place was' sold
by A. J. Hildrith s of Ulclah Uo some
Salt Lake men who. are planning; to
bring out a number of their friends to
take up homes near them.' The Gibson
ranch is being cut up into small farms,
which should sell off quickly.-
i At-Calpella, a village a few miles bey
ond IJkiah, 20 new families have ar
rived within the last 'three, "months.
Calpella is in the great^thermal beltj
and both it and the i Redwood \ valley,
which adjoins : it, are gro\ving rapidly.
Calpella has heretofore been simply a
flag station, but now; the Northwestern
Pacific has fixed up a neat depot and
platform and trains stop there regu
larly.
MANY RANCHES PURCHASED
Redwood valley is one of the richer
small valleys of the county, A. branch
of tlie Russian river I runs | through it
ana Is fed by many living springs in
the hills. It is traversed its.
length by. the main county road'"' to
Round valley, and the -railroad -station
is at its lower end.
Within the last year nearly every
ranch in Redwood valley, has changed
hands. -and, the prices have been very
satisfactory to the sellers and buyers
alike.
A; new. sawmill and lumber yard are
now being put into operation- in the
far end of the.valleyl The rumor", that
ultimately" the .railroad -would .be
brought through this valley, .'thus
avoiding- the steep, grade, at Laughlin
and the summit, may have been re
sponsible 'for this sudden growth.
Wallace & Milone, - who bought" the
English, ranch of some. 600 \ acres, are
making great improvements and are
putting up miles of hog tight wire
fence. Dunlap & Hewes are also im
prp.vlng- their property . and are pre
paring to set out an. apple and English
walnut orchard.
HOGS THRIVE O.Y. ACORXS .- :-
The sale or . lease of Belle Hardin
ralich of 1,700 acr.es, one of the finest
ranges in the state, is being'negoti
ated. A. Weldon, who bought the Ford
place of SOO acres. Is preparing to put
in hops again, as this is as fine hop
land as can be found. George Knight,
who owns a large tract' of 7,000 acres,
13 reported to have had a fine offer for
his property and refused to sell on the
ground that the advance had hardly
started.
.The high" price of pork has turned
many to hog raising, and Mendocino
county is' the banner hog county. In
Redwood valley ;the oaks furnish a
vast amount of acorns for feed and the
surrounding hills protect from-exces
sive heat or cold. Hogs thrive won
derfully and the nearness to the rail
road and to Ukiah affords a ready
market. Hog raising, in Redwood of
fers remunerative business under prac
tically ideal conditions.
AV.ll-MT A.\D APPLE OROWINgI
The, Northwestern Pacific is issuing
a third edition of a. very attractive
folder and time table in which the re
sources of this wonderful county is set
forth, which has done much to arouse
interest. .
Much is- heard of the famous apple
country of Oregon and the walnuts of
the south, but few persons realize that
both these products attain perfection
in the protected valleys of Mendocino
and Sonoma counties. The apples are
large, hard and sound and of delicious
vflavor, comparing favorably with the
best grades of Oregon.
Walnut raising has passed "the ex
perimental stage and. the next few
years many acres will be cultivated and
will bring a large income to the own
ers. \u0084. .' , - : \u25a0. \u25a0'\u25a0'. . '
The no£th of bay counties are among
the best Jn^ the. state. Investors who
buy there now "are sure., of a hand
some profit on their holdings.

GOOD OFFERINGS
IN LOWER MARKET
Attractive Property That Can
Be Leased at Comparatively
Low Rentals
\u25a0 Baldwin & Howell report that there
is a splendid opportunity to pick up a
few choice lower Market street leases,
particularly east of Kearny* There is
no section of San Francisco where
there is a greater transient travel, ami
rentals in this section will make radical
advances In the next few years.
.K. E. Fazackerley. manager of the
rent department of Baldwin & Howell.
states that this section is being over
looked"by^businessmen for the reason
that they fear high rentals, when, as a
matter of fact, good locations can bo
obtained in Market sft^eet at less prices
than. quoted in a number of other dis
tricts of less transient advantages.
"There is no reason why retail es
tablishments, of. every description
should not thrive in Market east of
Kearny as far as Front street.T said
! Fatackerley.' "A number of first ratu
stores can be had, some as low a 4 $^ot>
a month, where at least "50.000 person*
pass every day. I doubt if there 13 si>
section in San Francisco where rents/
are relatively as cheap as they are in
this district. I presume it is because
merchants are assuming that rentals
are higher .than they really are, for f
am sure if the facts were known there
would not be a vacant store in Market
street between Kearny and the ferry.
"Rent to most_businessmen is valued
in proportion to the number of persons
who pass the^establlshment each daj.
Big retail concerns - with stores scat
tered everywhere keep men who do
nothing else but count the passers by
in various localities throughout the
Upited States. They are the shrewdest
locaters of retail stores in the world
"and have renting departments whose
sole duty It is to find locations where
rents are low in comparison, to the
travel. Their ideas can well be copied
by our local merchants, who will find
that there is more travel In proportion
to the rent*in Market street east of
Kearny to the ferry than in any section
of San Francisco."
