On Sunday morning, to her surprise
she found the kitchen door omen ,nd
the door of the washroom leading to
the rear was also open. Her chatelaine
bag had disappeared from the kitchen
table. She began a search for IL and
finally discovered IL in the garbage
barrel. She hurriedly examined IT ard

tained IS SO was missing, but to her

IMPROVEMENT. IMPLIED
Big Buildings to Replace
Old : Time Shacks of the
Early Days of the City

One Of the most important transfers OF
property that has taken place in great
number of years in San Francisco is now
being accomplished by the firm of A. j.
Rich & Co., for the Frank Estate Com
pany Of this city and the Won Rhein
Estate Company for the purchaser. The
price runs up in the hundreds of thou
sands and marks the sale of that por-
ton of land which may be styled the
starting point of the city of San Fran
cisco at Market and East streets.
This land has been covered with small
primitive buildings dating from the early
days of 1850 when the section was a long
wharf, charging toll for teams to and
from the ferry that landed at this wharf.
The property at one time was owned
by the late Michael Reese, and about
forty years ago sold by him to S. H.
Frank. 1t has been paying a revenue of
about $4,000 per year.
The purchaser is the Henry Cowell
Land and Cement Company. There is
some gossip that the purchase was made
for the entrance way for one of the many
railroad lines that are fast looking to
get some of the great trade to the Orient.
and establish its offices there. In other
quarters this is disputed.
The Frank estate contemplated building
on the land this fall. Complete plans
and elevations are in their hands They
were prepared by Albert NJ. Pissis, the
architect, in an elaborate manner. Per-
haps the purchasing corporation will uti-
lize said plans. They would beautify the
entrance 10 San Francisco much to the
satisfaction of the association for the
adornment of San Francisco
The land has frontage on East street
and Market of the full blocks between
Sacramento, Commercial and Clay
streets. with an irregular depth westerly
of from 100 to 200 feet.
The general belief is that the transac-
ton represents close to $500,000
