In all interviews the doctor spoke in
a very cheerful manner of San Francis

san Francisco today is the busiest
city in the world for the number of
people within its limits. Everyone who
will work can find all that he can do.
In it's palmiest days of gold excite
ment there was not as much money
in circulation as there is now. The
stock market is the best barometer of
monetary conditions we have. For
three months after the quake and fire
sales dropped to almost nothing in that

BUILDING ACTIVE
ON SOUTH MAIN
MISSISSIPPI MAN PAID $780,
600 FOR CORNER
Will Erect Modern Business Block
kerckhoff. Improvement-NeW
Plans by Thomas Higgins,
Millionaire

Recent developments indicate that
property owners and investors look
upon Main street as one of the most
important commercial thoroughfares
in Los Angeles.
Time was when Main was the prin-
cipal business street of the city. Then
Spring became popular and in turn
Broadway sprang into favor; but the
shifting about only meant that Los
Angeles was growing and that the
central business section was expand
ing to points where larger and more
modern buildings could be secured.
Both Main and Hill streets, between
Second and Ninth streets, soon will be
lined with some of the finest business
blocks in the city and new firms Will
be in possession with stocks of goods
for the consideration of the people.
Imposing Business Blocks
In addition to the modern store and
office building that Col. ]. B. Lanker-
SHIN will erect on the southwest cor
ner of Fourth and Main streets, to cost
$3.50. 900. it is stated on the authority
of Architect A. l.. Haley that Thomas
Higgins, the millionaire mine owner,
now in Ireland is having plans drawn
for a big business block for the south
west corner of Second and Main streets.
Tenants of present buildings have been
notified to ,vacate before January /,
and the bids for excavation and foun-
dations will probably be received
about that date. The new block Will
be eight stories, of reinforced concrete
construction, fire proof, covering 10
feet on Main by 165 feet on Second, ana
will cost about $500, 200.
Clark &. Bryan have sold to DIR. F. A.
Bizzell of Arcola, Miss, the southeast
corner of Main and Washington streets
for 100000 cash. The property is 15O
feet square and is improved with one
story brick building. DR.. Bizzell, who
is the owner of extensive cotton plan
tations in the south, contemplates the
erection of a substantial fire proof
building on the site. The sale was made
through the office of r. A. Rowan.
The w. G. Kerckhoff lot on the
northeast corner of South Main and
Sixth streets, directly north OF the
mamoth Pacific Electric building, and
south of the Burbank theater, soon Will
be occupied by an imposing fire proof
business bnock. The Kerckhoff 'front.'
age on Main street is about go feet
Plans have been completed for the
costly structure, but it is understood
that building operations will begin dur
ing the month of October All of the
tenants now occupying the lot have
been notified to vacate not later than
October 1. The new building will be
erected to accommodate merchants
and for Office purposes.
1t is stated that the lot on the south
west corner of Main and Sixth streets
will be improved in the near future.
The two vacant corners are regarded
as the most valuable business property
on Main street.

OPTION ON MASONIC TEMPLE
Local Syndicate May Pay $4,000 for
Desirable Property on Hill
Street

The announcement that w. I Hol-
ingsworth holds an option on the Ma
sonic temple property on Hill street
for $1S5, 900 has caused considerable
comment in realty circles as the front
age value is over $4,000 per front foot.
Conservative judges of values assert
that the price is reasonable, and that
soon frontage on Hill will go higher.
The location is on the west side of
Hill, between Fourth and Fifth streets,
the lot, 59x140, improved with three
story brick. Some time ago the Ma
sonic Temple association was offered
$15O,OOO for the property, later $160,OO0,
both offerings being refused.
1t is expected that a local syndicate
will take the property at $1S5, 900. II
not the Masonic association will erect
a larger building on the lot and lease
1t for long term of years. Demand
is urgent for business property on Hill
street.

CROWN OF BEAUTY TO OVER
LOOK THE VALLEY
Old clausen Ranch Property, North
Of Beechwood Drive, to Be De-
veloped In Elaborate style
at Once

Clusters of electric lights like those
on Broadway will illuminate both sides
of Beechwood drive. leading to De
Longpre park, the new subdivision near
HOLLYWOOD. acreage that is to be de-
yeloped at once in an elaborate man
ner. Paul de Longpre, the famous
painter of flowers whose artistic work
is known in all parts of the civilized
world. has given his name to the new
addition, and A. H. Beach, the pro-
moter and owner of the Clausen ranch,
will spare no money in installing high
class provements.
Acreage for the Artist
Paul de Longpre receives a deed for
five acres in the tract for the privilege
of calling the new subdivision DE
Longpre park.
It is stated by the Hollywood citizens
that recently Mr.. Beach took Mr.. de
Longpre over the grounds. and the lat
ter had no hesitancy in declaring his
opinion that it could be made one of the
most beautiful residential parks In
Southern California. Then followed a
proposition to deed the artist five acres,
to be selected by himself, for the
privilege of naming the park after him.
Saws Mr.. Beach: Paul de Longpre
name is one of the best known In this
state: his fame extends not alone all
over this country but all over the civil
lied world His reputation for artistic
ability and taste is such that the mere
fact, that he has consented to the use
of his name will be the best guaranty
we can give as to the natural beauty OF
the park, and the high and artistic i'm
provements being made under expert
supervision"
Mr.. de Longpre says: "I hope in the
future to realize a cherished dream of
my life and to establish a beautiful
home, with a magnificent view of
mountain, valley and ocean. 1t had for
some time been my intention, later. to
make my home in Italy or the southern
part of France. Now 1 seem to have
found an ideal spot wherein to spend
the remainder of my life"
Development Plans
De Longpre park, north of the
present Beechwood Drive tract, will be
laid out in lots varying in size from
half an acre to three or four acres In
extent. The Improvements, all of the
latest and best, will cost more than was
paid for the land by Mr.. Beach, and all
that high building restrictions, the best
advice of engineers and Landscape ex-
perts and lavish outlay of money can
accomplish will be done to make this a
dreamland of beauty.
Architects are now at work on the
elaborate entrance to Beechwood drive
This will be located just north of the
Knapp property line, and will be built
at once.
Hollywood is so widely known as the
home of Paul de Longpre that all his
many friends, which means practically
all our people. will be glad to know
that he plans to make the beautiful Los
Angeles suburb his lifelong home.
