BIG RANCHES CUT
INTO SMALL FARMS
Sale of Couiitry Homes With
Small Acreage Constantly
on the Increase
LEO STONE
Of the Firm of Bogars '& Stone, ; Sales Agents
. .' : Patterson Irrigated /, Farms. ,
vThere is a reason for .the 'marked
increase in the sale of -country : lands
in this '; section-; of >they state, and it^ Is
to be found in the, fact that "the big
pieces j are being, cut up to meet the
requirements of the -small farmers.
It is only natural; to suppose that
the big ranches comprising, many thou
sands of acres each, selected' 40 to "50
years ago, contain the pick of L the
vicinity in ; which they, were selected.
. These immense ;- holdings scattered
throughout the state have realiy stood
in the way of progress, because they
represented single ownership.
Now with the adoption of modern
irrigation facilities -one by one. these
ranches _ are being subdivided and in
stead of one family they are being
made to support thousands of fam
ilies. The Sacramento; valley and the
fean Joaquin valley- contain a large
number of these big ranches, several
of which are already on the. market
in small irrigated .parcels'" of 10 acres
and up. /'•-,
The newspapers ; are entitled' to
credit for the manner in which "they
have brought these lands Into publio
notice. That we are; getting more in
quiries and selling more country lands
in this section now is: due in a great
measure to the more liberal policy of
the newspapers, which appear Jo have
recognized j the fact that the proper
development of the city depends upon
the peopling of the tributary lands.
The Call has done | good ' work In di
recting attention to the many oppor
tunities for home seekers in the San
Joaquin valley arid 'with united effort
on the part of all the pewspapers we
can soon make San Francisco what it
should be, the gateway to the farming
lands of the state.
The time is, particularly ripe now
for an active campaign of publicity on
the part of the press. The Panama-
Pacific exposition will be held here and
San Francisco will be so . clearly in
the limelight all over the world that
a very .little effort will turn the face
of every California home seeker .toward
this city. It can in fact, be made the
mecca of all home seekers looking for
lands in California, and whether they
finally settle in' northern, central -or
southern California, they will have
made San Francisco their headquarters
in the state and j Have had impressed
upon their minds forever its size, dig
nity and importance as the largest city
on the coast, and as the central dis
tributing point for everything, includ
ing home seekers.
After all that has been said and may
be said, the best reason" of all whythe
sales of country lands are increasing
rapidly is because we havo tfie soil and
we haye the j water and can raise
everything we go after in bigger quan
tities and •at less expense than any
other section of the state. , .
TRACK TO DEEP

Redwood City's Future Prosper
ity Assured by Connection ;
WitH Ocean Shipping ',
A force of men and teams is at work
grading Chestnut street. Redwood City,
for the spur track that is to run from
the main line of the railroad to the
deep .water. , The material for; the
track' is. now on the ground,- and por
tions of the track already are laid, the
remainder being hurried to completion.
This means the opening of the deep
water section' to factories and the
future prosperity of Redwood City.
The news will -be v the best that has
been i heard | for., some - time, ' . as.. , this
makes Redwood City independent of. the
surrounding towns,'; as people who live
in Redwood- can " now ..depend on their

authoritatively i that the Pacific tele

paring to invest . $40,000 irr the im
provement of the* telephone plant* of
the municipality. . *3.$
..Speaking of this matter,- H.-C- Tuch
sen, Redwood City representative of
Baldwin & Howell, said:T>
There Is no public service corporation that
. Invests* its capital with a more accurate
foresight than the telephone companies, and
when they put this amount of money into a \u25a0
, community of this size-you can depend upon "
it that they see a big future ahead of them.
There Is no sentiment attached trt surh im- '
- provements, anil their action in the matter
is added proof to our oft repealed claim that
Rpdwood City is the nucleus of a coming
municipality of great consequence. . We have S
a splendid harbor, ideal railroad transporta
tion, ; where freights from all over America
can draw up alongside of tho vessels of the
Pacific, .and go«l climate. Redwood is the
• first city on the" peninsula outside of San
Francisco to be recognizetl- in the way of \u25a0
' radical' railroad improvements, the' coniple
\u25a0 tlon of the Dumbarton: cutoff being the big- .
i gest factor in this ' work, and the' shrewdest .'
X realty buyers in the west are quietly ' invest- .
ing in our properties.
' Tuchsen stated that Baldwin &
Howell- -were steadily • disposing of
Dingee park lots and that the street
work and improvements were going
along rapidly. Their sales." on this
property in the last 13 months have
avex'aged more -than $15,000 a month.
