BLOCK SOLD.
The Board of Trade Building
Accepted at a Handsome
Figure.
Little Remains but to Sign the Deed
and Check for Over Half
Million.

1t was stated yesterday by prominent
real estate man on Montgomery street that
the Board of Trade building and land upon
which it stands, at the junction of Market
and Pine streets, had been sold at a very
handsome figure. The price said to have
been paid was something between $500, 900
and 5000, 900.
The property belonged to the estate OF
William R. Sherwood, OF which his widow
is the executrix. 1t includes nearly all the
triangular block bounded by Pine, Market
and Front streets, and actually has front
age on each of those streets.
Beginning at the junction of Pine and
Market streets it extends along the latter
thoroughfare 179 feet, and 226 feet on
Pine. From it's southwesterly corner it
runs back 81 feet inches from Market
street and then continues in an irregular
line in westerly direction to Front street,
thus forming an L, which gives line of
so feet on Front street. 1t therefore has
the whole frontage of the block on Pine
street. With the exception of an Irregular
shaped lot at the corner of Front and
Market streets, owned by Alexander Boyd,
the block was owned by William r. She +
wood.
The buildings are we'll known to San
tranclScanS from the symmetrical i've
story ornamental Office structure at the
gore, Familiarity known as the Board of
Trade building to the substantial bust
ness houses on the side street.
1t was understood that the property was
bought by the Luning estate. 1t was for
sale for a long time and had been exam
ined by different capitalists.
The greatest secrecy was observed re-
garding the transaction, those interested
Immediately going so far even as to say
they knew nothing about it. And yet
there remained no room for doubt as to
the certainty of the transfer, since it was
announced by a man i'll q position to
know positively everything connected with
the sale. The secrecy was undoubtedly
for business reasons, as has usually been
the case in such transactions, until the
last hour, when the deeds are signed. That
the sale was not legally made by the SIGN
ing of deeds may account for the air OF
mystery surrounding the transaction.
Arthur W. Moore, the real estate agent,
said to be interested, declared he knew
nothing about the matter further than
that the property had been in the market
for sale.

STREETS ARE NOW CLEANER.
All of the Sweepers Are to Be Dressed
Alike.

All of the sweepers Are to Be Dressed
Alike.
The street cleaning under the new con-
tractor is progressing favorably and to the
satisfaction of the Merchants Association,
which inaugurated the system of sweeping
the streets by hand labor. When the con-
tractor took hold of the work there was
lot of dirt to be removed that had been
left by the Street superintendent men.
The downtown district, north OF Market
street and east of Powell, is now in good
order, and the next move will be to organ
ize the force and clean up south of Market
street. The merchants believe that by the
middle of the month the City will be as
clean as it was when they gave up the
work several months ago.
The new contractor has taken back the
force of wsrkmen who were employed by
the Merchants Association, from the
foreman down to the humblest sweeper.
This shows that the street cleaning is out
of politics. In a short time the entire
force will be uniformed in brown caps,
overalls and jumpers.

WHITE IN COURT.
Change of Venue Is Asked in the Fair
banks and Costigan Mort


Messrs. Dunn and McPike will appear
before the Superior Court of Mendocino
County, at Ukiah, next Tuesday and ask
that change of venue be granted in the
cases of Fl. T. Fairbanks and j. M. Costi-
gan against Seattle King" White of
Round Valley to foreclose their respective
mortgages.
The Fairbanks mortgage amounts to
$4,000 and that of Costigan to $500.
The motion is brought on the part of
Wilson I. Smith, the receiver in the case
of George e. White against Frank E.
White.
frankie T. White first instituted suit for
maintenance in 1884, but had it subse-
quently dismissed when White filed suit
for divorce. Then it was she interposed
her cross complaint, which led to the
divorce and 500, 900 alimony being granted
10 her in this City.
In the motion for change of venue it is
asserted that Judge McGarvey of the Men
docino Superior Court is disqualified, and
also that witnesses would be greatly con-
venienced by having the case brought to
this City.
The Sun Insurance Company in the fore
closure of it's mortgage of $40 900 does not
like the outlook of affairs legal. Its adj
visers do not think a fair deal is to be had
and they ask for concessions that Mrs.
White is not prepared TO grant. So say
Mrs. Whites attorneys.
The Sun Insurance Company's repre-
Sentatives assert that Mrs. White has
secured the aid and active assistance of the
newspapers, and they would also like a
change of courts.

Back of the innocent-looking stick and

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year
when a review is made of the condit-
ion of affairs, it is only right that
some thought be given to the physical
body which enables everyone to bat
tie with life's problem and figure for
themselves the profit or loss on the
trial balance sheet. Though the bank
account may be large and each ones
material gain be great, it would not
be surprising if it suddenly dawns
upon many that good health has been
greatly Impoverished by the low
condition of the blood. 1t is in this
state that the Tactic acid in the vital
fluid attacks the fl Orous tissues, par
ticularly the joints, making known
the local manifestations OF rheuma-
tism. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla the
great blood purifier, a positive and
permanent cure for rheumatism.
