HERALD reporter yesterday, land that
IS that the best opportunity for real es-
tate investment at present is IN the coun-
try between this city and Pasadena.
This opinion seems to be generally CO.
incided in, for all along the line OF the
Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley
railroad there is most decided boom.
For the purses of some people property
at Pasadena is too high, and there is a
widespread and very sensible belief that
IA the suburbs nearer this city there are
much better opportunities. Since the
earliest history OF Los Angeles beau
tiful tract OF land in the Arroyo Seco
has been recognized resort for picnic
parties, and for all who enjoy fine seen

road il was known as Live Oak Park,
from the magnificent oaks which have
grown there perhaps for centuries. 1t
is one of the most delightful spots In the
san Gabriel valley, or, for that matter,
in Southern California, and well posted
travellers do not hesitate to pronounce
tho scenery from this point as line as
any in the world. Since the building OF
the railroad the owners have renamed
it Lincoln Park, and it has been
subdivided and placed on the market
for homes. Lincoln Park is distant about
SIX miles from Los Angeles, and is one
Of those rare, choice spots which will
become more and more valuable each
year. Protected as 1t is by gently slop.
ing hills, there are no chilly winds or
fogs, and persons suffering from pull
monary troubles receive immediate re-
lief by residence there. The tract is
well supplied with water, which flows
through four.inch iron pipe directly
from spring OF pure mountain water.
This water is as pure as any in the
State, and is abundant for domestic and
irrigating purposes. The purchaser here
receives with the title to his lot pro
rata interest in the water, pipes and res
ervoirs. He has no water rates TO pay,
only an occasional small assessment for
tue care OF the works, as is the rule in
Pasadena. The soil is rich. deep aud
fertile, well adapted to citrus and decid-
uous fruit trees and grape vines. 1t is
emphatically a place for homes--the
/. pical Southern California homes,
surrounded with ever blooming
flowers and productive trees and
vines. Three trains daily pass the tract,
on which there is station. The time
from Los Angeles is about fifteen min-
utos. As the country is rapidly settling
up, in o short time six trains will be run
daily, and Communication tickets be placed
so low that people can well afford TO re-
side at the Park and do business in Los
Angeles. There are already several
houses on the tract and about forty lots
have been sold. The remainder will be
sold at auction tomorrow by Ben Il.
Ward, auctioneer. In order to give
every body chance to see this fine
property an excursion train will leave
Downey avenue bridge tomorrow (Sat-
urday) at 10 A. NJ, returning at P. NJ.
The fare for the round trip is only fifty
cents A free lunch will be served on
the grounds and band Of music will ac-
cjmpany the excursion. Every lot will

the best opportunities that has ever &C.

will do well to embrace this chance to
see the loveliest portion OF our county.
