EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING ON THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
STIMULUS GIVEN
TO REAL ESTATE
Southern Pacific to Commence
Work on Vast Scheme of
Genera! Development
OAKLAND. Sept. 23. — Real estate
men see many prospects for a favor
able fall anJ winter season. Big pro
jects are under way. It seems certain
now that the Southern Pacific company
will go ah^ad rapidly with its gigantic
plans for water front and railroad de
veiopment on this side of the bay. The
controversy over the wat«*r front lease
franchise appears to be settled. Litiga
tion in the courts has ended. There
Is a general imprpssion among those
who have closely studied the situation
that Oakland has been a big winner in
the negotiations, which have ended in
a solution of the water front- problem.
InsSJers are. of the opinion that no
tine will he lost now in pushing the
improvements forward. Among those
which the Southern Pacific company
has in hand is the expenditure of
$ 2.110.000 to $3,000,000 on the south side
of Oakland mole, the erection of a
modern passenger station at Sixteenth
f-treet. the construction of a modern
electric line connecting West Oakland
on a loop with the Fourteenth and
Franklin street Alameda m«">le system.
the electrizing of its entire east side
ferry and suburban service, and in
cidentally the construction of large
power plants and the like as par.t of
equipment.
FRANCHISE DELAYS
Much of this important work has
been heij up pending the final action
of the municipality in the matter of
the wster front franchise. The com
pany has indicated that the settlement
Th*-re will enable it to clear the decks
and go ahead. This will unquestion
ably have an important bearing not
only upon the future of the city, but
upon the immediate development of
hetrer conditions in the realty market.
It is only on* 1 aspect of the general
trend that gives dealers assurance of
a widening of the city's sphere of
influence. That Oakland is to hold a
great share in the benefits from the
Panama canal no one doubts. Its geo
graphical location as the continental
terminus for railroading, its harbor
facilities, which Will be on a modern
basis before the canal Is opened; its
splendid attractions as a city of homes,
its manifest superior climate, these
and many other advantages place
Oakland in the forefront of Pacific
coast cities.
CAPITAL INTERESTED
That capital is not overlooking the
city is evidenced by the large number
of inquiries which ' daily reach the
chamber of commerce from all parts
of the United States and from foreign
lands. Secretary A. A.. Denison, in
speaking of this, said:
"The arrival of the first transcontinen
tal passenger train on the new West
ern Pacific railroad was one of the
biggest occurrences in the history of
Oakland. W» have been bombarded
with inquiries ever since the news went
out to the world that Oakland had
been established for the fourth time
in its history as the terminus of a
transcontinental railway system. We
now have entering our gates the old
Central Pacific, the Southern Pacific,
the Santa Fe and the Western Pacific.
The end is not in sight. We have room
for many more railroads and they are
bound to come, for this city is the
natural terminus. Oakland has much
to look forward to, and I am convinced
that we are upon the breaking of new
conditions that will cause our fair city
to leap ahead with great strides in the
next few years."
BIG BIILDIXGS GROWING
Construction of the steel work on
the Oakland hotel at Harrison and
Thirteenth street is progressing satis
factorily.
H. C. Capwell. president of the Se
curity bank and trust company, an
nounced this week that the modern
steel edifice for the bank that is
to be erected at the northeast corner of
Eleventh street and Broadway, would
be under way by March 1, 1911. Ten
ants of the shacks now occupying the
prpperty have been notified to move.

REALTY MARKET BRISK
Speaking of market conditions E. B.
Bull, manager of the Frank K. Mott
company, c.aid:
At last Grand Avenue Heights is receirinp the
attention from the realty buylnjr public to which
that section of Oakland is entitled. Within the
let-t two weeks there hare been three sales of
tiie choicest residences in the tract in addition
to the steady sales of unimproved lots.
This last week has seen the sale of two elegant
$%.«f»0 and $3,000 homes to two bankers of Hum
boldt county who decided after a thorough search
that Grand Avenue Heights was the choicest
residence portion of Oakland wherein ideal homes
could be maintained under the most favorable
conditions.
But what Is civlnjr an added Impetus to this
Tract is the extension of the streetcar service
ulodk i>rand avenue, through Pleat-ant valley and
to Piedmont. The work which has been projected
for borne months past Is now under way. Poles
have been set and wires have been strung to
allow construction trains to take away the dirt
from excavation work. Within a week track
laying will commence and It will not be long
before oar customer* who bought at $30 per
front foot will be refusing $50 and $53 for their
property.
Street lights have also Just been installed *n4
the general class of street work which we have
put in on this tract makes Grand Avenue Heights
practically park residence property.
With Eastlawn. of course, we hare had no ob
stacle in the way of street railway transporta
tion with which to contend. The magnificent
*errloe Riven on this line every five minutes is
sufficient Inducement to the buyer of moderately
priced nomesites to do business with us without
much urging. Gas mains have been laid along the
tract during the last 10 days, completing the last
necessity in the way of public utilities service to
make this bungalow park an ideal residence sec
tion. •. . \u25a0-* ,
We hare been repeatedly asked for statements
as to our Fort Seward property in Homboldt
county, but the time is still too early to . at
tempt any selling of this property in email
pieces. Fewr people realize that a tract of 22.000
acres embracing every known condition of land
requires an enormous amount of detail work Jn
regard to its subdivision, and it is not until these
matters are attended to can we place the land
on the market for public sale.
We are receiving dally a quantity of Inquiries
as to possibilities of - buy}ng from us \u25a0 in the
tract, both orchard «nd townslte properties., and
we are carefully filing sneh letters for rutnre
reference. Ab soon as we are ready to : place
this land on the market, we will gire the pref-r
ence to those of ©or costomers who naTe signified
their intention of interesting themselves -in
country, lands.
The classic gateway which marks the
Broadway entrance to the Rock ridge
properties is completed. The entrance,
which is In Italian renaissance style, is
covered with Medusa cement, so that
the effect Is that of " a stone gateway
thousands of years old. Many people

BERKELEY. Sept. 23. — Speaking of
the railroad development h«>re R. C.
Newell of Newell & Hendrlcks said:
The recent announcement regarding the cut In

WOMAX DENIES CHARGES
"I have never attended a theater or
other place of amusement with La

friends. The thought of alienating his
affections from his wife never occurred

passed my home on his wagon and I

and I have always been good friends,
and when '.she 'went east I accompanied
her to.the^ train. . "When she and her

thought that 'they had come for a

grasped hold of me and her son. held
me by the wrists and tried \to blacken
my eyes with 'my. own hands I was hor
rified and I thought that they had both
lost their minds. I asked .what was
the matter and. the son said, 'You sat
next to my father in the nickelodeon.'"

selves today and were released on their
own- recognizance. They will appear
before Police Judge R.B . Tappan next

the board this morning to apologize for
the, attempt he had made to have his

met in making 'the assignment.

sume its 'preparations J for beginning
work immediately. A public celebra
tion of the commencement of -water
front development by the municipality
will be arranged. The mayor himself
will probably turn the first shovel of
earth and the commercial : and indus
trial organizations of the city will be
asked to take part In the demonstra
tion. . • •
