Building of Western Pa
citic Strengthens Faith
in Local Real Estate
SOME BIG SALES MADE
One Firm Disposes of Prop
erty Valued at Nearly
a Million in Two DAYS

The sales OF real estate during the
past week have included several of
more than ordinary Importance, but the
total is not as large as for some weeks
preceding. The market is strong and
steady and is based on the certainty
that San Francisco has several years
OF prosperity Immediately in sight, ir-
respective of any outside causes.
The reasons for this confidence are
found in the construction of the West
.ern Pacific Railroad. which will cause
the expenditure of millions of dollars
In this part of the State; the expendi-
ture of millions to be derived from the
sale Of the city's bonds and the general
prosperity of the State and the steady
natural growth of San Francisco and
Its surroundings. These considerations
are all strong. Together they insure
the future Of San Francisco from the
real estate point Of view very thor
oughly.
