Alamitos Bay !

The principal shipping business
OF the Los Angeles Valley is to be
restored again to the Natural Harbor
at Alamitos Bay. This Bay extends
inland distance of $1,000 feet, with
a depth of IL to 90 1-2 feet, and a
width of 200 to 1900 feet, according
to recent actual surveys and measure
ments.
The Los Angeles and Ocean Rail-
way are now pushing the work of
construction from Los Angeles to
Alamitos Bay vigorously.
The representatives of two trans
continental and three local railroads
are now negotiating for trackage,
water front and terminal facilities at
Alamitos Bay.
Three heavy lumber dealers and a
strong coal company, who own ex-
tensive mines are seeking wharves
and yard grounds at Alamitos Bay.
The greatest development and most
rapid improvement and enhancement
in values ever made on the Ameri-
can Continent will be at Alamitos
Bay in the next II months.
For the purpose of inaugurating
improvements and making business
for the railroad, the Directors OF the
Los Angeles and Ocean Railway
have authorized the Secretary, J. w.
Green, No. 118 West First street, A.
w. Barrett & Co., No. Court street,

dence lots at Alamitos Bay at merely
nominal prices.
The sale will commence Monday,
February 9th, at these agencies.
Fifty-seven of these lots are now
engaged, or applied for, before any
maps could be prepared, and these
few lots will surely be taken in brief
time. You can buy business lot
