OUTLOOK BRIGHT
IN REALTY FIELD
ALL CONDITIONS LOOK GOOD
FOR FUTURE
Comments by "UneIe Billy" Workman
on Stability Of Property VaIua-
tlons-Antlcipstes Best Sea-
son In History Of City

The past week has been one of con-
siderable activity in the Los Angeles
real estate market. as indicated by the
size and number of the important sales
recorded in another column of this is
sue. Dealers generally report the mar
ket in a decidedly healthy condition
with bright prospects of closing many
large deals during the next few weeks.
In semi i-buslness and outside properties,
some purchased for immediate improve
ment and others for investment. Thou
sands of visitors are In the city for the
winter, and while many did not come
here for the purpose of making pur-
chases they have become convinced that
Los Angeles is the most inviting field
in the country for safe investments,
and already number have made pur-
chases and others are figuring on plac-
Ing money in different propositions.
Bright Prospects
w. H. Workman, city treasurer, said:
'I regard the Los Angeles real estate
market in a splendid condition. Every
thing looks bright and prosperous in
the city and throughout Southern Cali
fornia, and no man can lose by making
purchases of any property at present
prices. Values are continually advance
ing. Lots bought little over two years
ago for $400 and $500 are now selling at
$4,000 each, and lots sold few months
ago have gone up in value $500 to $500
each. outside property selected any
where is a good proposition for the
home builder and the investor, while
inside property Is none too high at
present valuation. All property in the
central busines center is well worth
$4,000 a front foot. Those who make
improvements rent their buildings at
big figures. One corner drug store pays
$500 q month. but the firm is making
money, and so do all the merchants in
the other business houses, although
they pay what is regarded by some peo-
pie as big rents. You don't hear OF any
of the firms going into bankruptcy on
account of the rents. They are all
doing well, because business is gener-
ally good, and that is what makes real
estate valuable. Los Angeles business
frontage is none too high when you
know the valuations that prevail In
cities like Chicago, New York and other
big centers of commerce.

Looking for Homes
The fact that General Chaffee and
many other people of character and
means are in Los Angeles this winter
looking around for homes, ranging in
value from $4,000 to $4,000, Is sufficient
evidence that money does not stand in
the way of bringing the best class of
people to Los Angeles to enjoy the in
comparable climate and the many at
fractions that cluster about the
metropolis of the southland. Realty
dealers state that they have had in
Vulnerable inquiries for improved prop
erty. Saturday a property owner resid-
ing in the west end sold his home place
within few hours to a man from the
mountain district, and the seller has
already sought accommodations at a
hotel. as the purchaser of his place also
bought all of the furniture from cellar
to garrett The sales aggregated about
$1,000.
Many investors are buying property

posed purchase of Cow Barrow Fell,
Cumberland, for the nation.

Mr.. Austin described visit he had
paid to the Fell, which enabled him
to understand what the purchase would
mean to people In all ages. He said:
Mature has been a source of rest and
refreshment to men and women, jaded,
depressed and nerve wrecked by ex-
hausting toll in cities; but never be-
fore was there so much need as now
for the healing change and restor-
ing solace she provides in the nursing
homes of her green dells; the silent
majesty of her mountains and the
melody of her becks and waterfalls.
Such is the comfort nature offers
for the fatigue and worry of this fe-
verish modern life, and when those
who have sought 1t return to their
crowded urban existence many time
they will feel and say, as Wordsworth
felt and wrote
The music in my heart I bore
Long after it was heard no more"

The petit jury was discharged
from further service at this term
of court yesterday in the fore
noon and the judge will remain
until today, in order to give the
clerk an opportunity to complete
the entry of all orders and de-
crees. A larger number of cases
went off the docket at this term
of court than any other former
term within the last six years, al
though there were no jury trials
on the criminal docket, and only
three on the law docket at this
term. The court ordered the sher-
itf to bring out all the prisoners
confined in Jail against whom in
dictments had been returned at
this term, and George Niehart,
indicted for murder of his step
father at Iuka a few months ago,
entered a plea of not guilty and
was remanded to Jail without
bond to await the next term of
court.
Spencer Jones, indicted for
stealing a watch at the Mercer
Hotel in Sistersville, valued at
$75, entered plea of guilty, yet
stated that he was innocent of the
charge and asked the court for
mercy. He was sentenced to the
penitentiary for a term of two
years, and remanded to Jail to
await the arrival of a guard from
the penitentiary, which is the first
prisoner from this county under
the new law to be conveyed to
Moundsville.
