BIG THINGS ARE
STILL DOING
SALT LAKE WILL COME TO
TOWN SURE
Buys Lots, Gets Right Of Way, and
viii Land In the Arcade Depot
In About Four
Months

During lne past week lHllk tHS
professional operator has been out OF
the market Big sales have been made
and at good prices, but don't forget an
item that went on record last Tuesday.
That series of items means much.
am going to tell you all about 1t, and
incidentally demonstrate that all Of you
good fellows. as 1 told you long ago,
have been sleeping and looking at
other things through the other fel-
lows glasses, too.
To start with, The Herald and the
writer have ever contended that a new
union depot at Arcade station is an
assured fact. I know 1 have been
handled up and down the street for
so saying and so maintaining, but you
fellows are busy. I am not l just
write and give you the facts. Perhaps
carry the facts longer than you do
and let Father Time prove the case
The time is ripe to say it again that
the Arcade depot will be a new struc-
ture, and only since the Salt Lake road
is completed is this possible. Harri-
man owns the interest he wants with
w. A. Clark in the Salt Lake road. The
Salt Lake road will be running trains
into the Arcade depot in less than
ninety days or four months at the
latest, Now. I say this with all candor.
Watch the headlight and keep awake.
80 oh ,,1o ~,
record deeds that conveyed a whole
series of blocks of the Ames subdi
vision of the Glassell tract that front
on Butte street. and at this point a
bridge will be built across the Los An
geles river. Look at your maps and
From that point the track runs
straight down Alameda street to the
Arcade depot. Don't you think that
Hartman and Clark want to land peo-
pie in town? OF course they do, even
il you don't. And don't you know that
more room must be had for this pur-
pose? Just think for a moment Doesn't
it strike you now that a new depot
must come? And doesn't this explain
why the fellows are still buying on
contract on Fifth and on Sixth, near
Central? OF course.
But this is not all. Henry E. Hunt |
ington is also a part of this great plan
of internal development that gradually
is making Los Angeles the most talked
of town in the United States. Hunt
ington has applied for third rail fran
chise for his Long Beach line on Maple |
Why? Because he owns all the land
he wants from Los Angeles to Maple, |
from Sixth to Ninth and he is about to
create new business district, as l told
you four weeks ago. Will he get the
franchise? He will unless some people
threaten to do.
Santee street, you know, stops at
Eighth street. All that Huntington de-
sires is to split his blocks by taking his
own right of way and running his
tracks, divide his holdings into two
frontages on Los Angeles and Maple
and land carloads at the door of job
bers and wholesalers
Huntington is prepared. I told you
that Michael ]. Connell the prince of
Figueroa, did not purchase for A. B.
Hammond of San Francisco He
bought for Huntington and when
Huntington eighteen months ago
bought the Nadeau tract of log acres
for $500 an acre and sold Hammond
twenty acres for $4,000 an acre last No
vember, they were all sucking from the
same trough.
Huntington is building switches all
over the Nadeau tract, and the Alice
Weyse fifty-two acres have been leased
for forty years, who has given the Salt
Lake people a right of way to come to
town. Huntington will land carloads
from all the lines in his new tracts on
Los Angeles street in the heart of the
city for 81 a carload. DO you see the
connection now?
Big people do big things on a big
scale, Get in and don't think that Los
Angeles lies at your door on Spring
street. She's a big town, and while all
have been sleeping, Henry e. has gone
to the skirts, the river bed and in the
quiet part to build for fifty years. He
doesn't want a childs franchise; he
wants a mans share of the things that
money can make and create. Don't
GO to the ant. Go to the hustler.
