added to the list of realty dealers in
Venice by the starting of the Evans
& Wheat Co. This firm will add pill
lar of strength to the local field. 1t
is the intention of the company to adj
vance the real estate interests, nego-
tiate loans, place insurance and in fact
to further the general interests of the
beach and surrounding locality, and
to promote and encourage new enter
prises. 1t is also the intention OF the
company to establish a building and
loan association. David Evans is pres
ident of the Bank of Venice, and his
own private business enterprises have
grown to such large proportions that he
is unable to transact his business at
the bank. Furthermore he considers
1t out of place to use the banks offices
for the transaction Of his own business
affairs, consequently he has branched
out In a new field of endeavor. Asso-
ciated with Mr.. Evans will be Mr.
Wheat, late secretary Of the Abbot
Kinney Co., who has been connected
with the latter well-known firm for a
number Of years, and who is considered
by all who know him to be one of the
best posted men on realty values on
the beach. To show the scarcity and
great demand for store space at Venice,
Messrs. Evans and Wheat paid the A.
G. Walter Co. of 81 Windward avenue
bonus OF $1,000 for their lease. This
office adjoins the Bank of Venice. Mr..
Evans has invested fully $450,000 in
property in Venice and between Ven
ice and Los Angeles, $250,0o0 of which
has been invested during the last thirty
days. thus giving some idea of Mr..
Evans faith in the future of Venice
and the surrounding country. Mr..
Evans ranks among the foremost of
conservative, far-sighted and keen busi-
ness men of Southern California
Among some of the larger purchases
made by this gentleman recently may
be mentioned the purchase of 265 acres
of the Dunn ranch at Morgan Hill.
The price paid was $137.50 per acre,
being bought merely as an Investment;
also the purchasing of r. A. Frazer's

ment of the year Is now well
under way toward Signal Hill. All you
hear about in Long Beach Is Signal

these days scurrying around trying to
pick up acreage to subdivide. The
cause of all this activity is due to the

switches, and the estimated cost Will
be about 100000. The work of grading

Captain Edward B. Smith, one OF the

L. Stanford, now in this city arranging
for the general repair of the vessel in
the matter of injuries lately received
while in collision off the Columbia bar,
yesterday received the following dis
patch from the San Francisco Mer-
chants Exchange:
81. B. Stetson arrived in San Pedro;
slightly damaged in collision with the
Stanford"
This determines a much mooted ques-
ton. and confirms the conclusion of the
firm that it was the Stetson, out of
Gray's Harbor on Tuesday last, was the
steamer to blame for the untOward acci.
dent to the fine barkentine. The owners
of the Stanford viii at once file libel
against the Stetson in the sum of $4,000,
if not more, and it is hardly probable
that the claim will be disputed in court,
nor out of it.
