Thils cannery will have a capacity of
SO.OOO cases a season. It is to be
equipped with the latest sanitary de
vices.; During the busy season 300
peoplji will be employed. All classes
of fruits will be put up, as we.! as

table-^. The main cannery building
is 50 toy 300 feet. A tank will"be built
to liMd 12,300 gallons,' with syrup
room.-i in mezzanine rooms underneath.
TrY floors are built on a grade that
pcrmijrs washing and flushing and
draining off every day to insure most
perfect cleanliness.
Thd, cannery has 300 feet of spur
track.along the Dumbarton cutoff line
for receiving and shipping direct and
avoiding all truckage. The fruit is re
ceive! at one end ami goes through
automatically and Is shipped at the
other; end. The building has an as
bestorj fireproof roof.
Work on the cannery building is be
in* rushed, so that packing may be
begun a3 soon is the early fruits arc

Tli'l establishment of the cannery
alonrf the tracks of tlie new Dumbar

forer'mnv of great things in the
manufacturing way.
Several residences and lodging houses
will be built on the premises for the

Thtj purchase of 610 acres adjoining
the triwp on the east, by the Southern
Pacify: company, la known to be for the
purpcjse of erecting large car shops.
This [tract lies just at the easterly
edge *of town. The railroad company
lias recently bought a right of way
from (the car shops tract to a direct
connection with the Dumbarton cutoff
main! line tracks. This is believe,' to
indicate that construction of the shops
will toon be started.
In view of the greatly increased
population that will soon come to the
town a movement has been started to
form .a sanitary district of Niles, Cen
tervlNe and Newark, and build a sewer
system to serve ill three towns.
A tweeting was held at Newark last
Monday evening by committees from
the flirec towns to take measures
towa|d that end. F. T. Hawes ot Cen
terville and Messrs. Kunkle. Ellsworthy
and flev. Mr. .lotos of Niles, W. Wyatt,
laouisj Russian and George Meeks rep
resented Newark, and the Centerville
delegates were F. T. Hawes and Doctor
Emerson. The undertaking will cost
not I<>ss than $75,000 and will involve
the <;onstructlon of seven miles of
main ; sewer and several times that
lenntii of laterals. Dr. v.. A. Ormsby
of Newark is taking an active part In
carrying forward the sanitary project.
The natural situation of Newark is
very i'ealthful The water supply from
artesfen wells Is exceptionally fine, and
with.* modem sewer system the town
will be prepared to safeguard the
health of a large population.

erable experience In developing prop
erty, as they have successfully devel
oped several tracts in Los Angeles and
San Diego and they expect to make
Mowry addition to Newark one of the
most atractive suburbs of Oakland and
San Francisco.
Newark has a unique position, being
a suburb of five cities, namely: San
Francisco, Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley
and San Jose.
The Howry addition is located in the
most desirable section of the town, and
from present indications soon will be
covered with pretty homes. The land
at Howry addition to Newark lies well
and has just enough slope for drainage.
The soil is fine for gardens and now,
with all its spring time greenness of
grass and flowers, it is truly a pretty
place.
The Interstate realty and Improve
ment company owns several hundred
acres adjoining and expect later to sub
divide all their holdings and make a
first class townsite oat of the whole
t property. Many lots have been sold
and the property is right in the line of ,
the great development going on In this
section. It is a short walk from the
Southern Pacific depot and the survey ;
for the new Key Route electric line
; extension goes right by the property.
Still another industry that has come
' to this vicinity Is a bis salt works
which is being built on the marshes
toward Dumbarton point. This com
pain- has acquired over TOO acres and j
are "converting this area into salt ponds
and will manufacture salt on a large
scale. The railroad has already built
a spur track to the works. This will
be an important addition to the tos;n s
i Industry.
Freight service Is now in operation
over the Dumbarton bridge, direct tJ
, San Francisco. Ft was started last
October. When the roadbed is settled j
i it Is expected that passenger traffic j
will be inaugurated and that all trans
continental trains will be run over this
route. A suburban passenger service
will then be established with a run
i ning time of 45 minutes or 153S to San
i Francisco.
The largest industry of the town at
present is the James Graham manufac
turing company's stove works. It was
established in 1811, The company Is
making constant additions to the plant,
on which over $200,000 has been spent.
It covers three acres and Is the
largest stove works west of the Rocky
mountains. All kinds of stoves are
made here and the factory employs 150
men.
•'We expect to receive great advan
| tares when local freight shipments are
routed over the Dumbarton bridge,"
says ft W. Jackson, the San Francisco |
I manager. "It will benefit all the mer-j
! chants and manufacturers of the town
I to a very great extent."
The Newark lumber company has a
plant covering seven acres, consisting -
of planing mill, lumber yard and tank 1
factory. They employ about 20 men the j
year round. They ship .finished prod- j
uct all through the state. They manu- j
facture all kinds of house finishings i
and whatever is called for by archi- •
tects. F. A. Moses is the manager. O. |
F. Doherty of San Jose is the presi- j
dent and the vice president, H. A. Kid- !
dleton of Santa Cruz.
Other signs of progress of the town I
are the new residences that have been j
built recently. Among these are the
handsome homes of Mrs. Welmer and
F. Folk. . Robert T. Fuller has just I
finished -two pretty cottages. *
Nesrark has every indication of hav
ing entered upon an era of great pros
perity. iBBMKfI-fll
with this floral, ammunition. All the J
pretty girls of .the country.round will j
wear cherry blossoms in their hair, i
and all the houses, shops and build
ings will vie with each other in aiming •

tiful branches of trees in bloom.
