month-which is certainly within the
means of every one, the lots averaging
about 5000 in price. Lots in Cowan &
Wiseman's Vista Del Mar tract, located
at Willows, are selling rapidly. This
tract is located on the east side and is
over seventy-five feet above the official
grade. The view from this property is
very fine and is a coming residence Sec

to $1,000 in price, with a $1,000 building
restriction. Construction work will
shortly begin on sixteen residences on
this tract with more to follow, and then
prices will be advanced. The streets
will be graded and oiled and water and
gas piped to each lot.
The Long Beach Investment COM
pany is pushing the work of subdivid-
ing on their Signal Hill tract. Messrs.
Gates and Musgrove are very enthusias-
tic over the outlook and predict a great
future for the hill. By the way, the
tract this firm will place is one of the
choicest.
F. e. Shaw reports a number of sales
in Belmont Heights property.
Lots are selling very rapidly in the
Inner Harbor tract of Buffers & Paul.
Work on the electric line that will
parallel the tract is liable to start
any day, and then look out for prices.
Lybarger, Ward & Co. have a very
choice tract on Signal hill that they
intend placing on the market in the
near future.
Peck 81 Anderson report a number
of sales during the past week, and are
making arrangements for opening up

LONG BEACH ENTERPRISE

Saturday night closed one of the
most active weeks in the history OF
real estate activity in the city of Long
Beach,
From every agent comes story OF
business unparalleled. The most active
quarter at present is the Signal Hill
district. Last night G. w. Hughes,
president of the Investment company,
announced that during the coming week
he expects to close out his holdings,
With the exception Of the property he
has retained for his own home. The
Pacific Electric railway and its advance
up the hill has drawn many investors
to Signal Hill and all who have in
vestigated seem well pleased with ap-
pearances. The recent rains did some
slight damage to the newly graded
street but this will all be repaired
within thirty days and the hill re-
stored to it's normal state of beauty.
OF late activity has been noticed in
East Long Beach and many are the
reports of big sales that come from
that section of the city. Probably the
most attractive residence section in
the city at the present time is Long
Beach Park, where Todd & Windham
of 115 East Ocean Park avenue are
chief agents. In this tract during the
past week this firm reports the fol-
lowing transfers: Eugene Hyde to H.
Reynolds. $1,000; Pilkinghorn to Cross,
$3100; j, Amos Wood to L. H. Bassett,
$1,000; ]. w. Schuster to j. c. Bear,
$3100; Mrs. Julia Lowe to ]. w. Sloper,
$500; Wilson to N. =. Tenny, $1,000;
William Fluff to John Peterson, $125O.
The same firm reports a sale in AL

New Real Estate Firm

pany will take it's place in the ranks
of the many now operating in this
city. The members of the firm, the
Counts Realty company, are all active
men and familiar with the situation
here. Their office is to be at 2O9 Pine
avenue, also 402 Byrne building, Los
Angeles. G. N. Parker and Frank e.
Strong of the concern will remain in
Long Beach and manage the Long
Beach business, handling exclusively
realty within the city. J. e. Counts
and C. G. Compton will make head
quarters at Los Angeles and will make
a speciality of acreage and outside prop
erty. This firm will be especially in
terested in the new inner harbor prop
erty and will devote much time and
attention to persons desiring to invest

lowing report of sales from H. j.
Schaper: To Nellie higgins, lot 81,

All of these sales were in Mr.. Schaper' 8
American avenue tract.
Signal Hill a FaVorlte
The activity and demand for Signal
Hill lots is increasing day by day. Real
estate dealers holding property on the
hill are daily recei ing orders in blocks
of from five to ten lots to be laid aside
from out of town parties, thus showing
that Signal Hill has come to the front
as an ideal residence section purely on
it's merit. The Pacific Electric's extern
sion to the hill is about one-third COM
pleted, several loads of steel and ties
having already been delivered, and
within one month it is predicted will
see it's completion.
Young e. Parmly are laying out their
big tract on Signal Hill and when the
subdivision is completed it will COM
prise forty-eight large lots. This prop
erty is located on the Temple street
car line and on the south slope of the
hill, giving an unobstructed view from
the Palos Verdes hills to Newport Bay.
The streets will be graded, cement
curbs and sidewalks laid and very
strict building restriction of $500 will
be enforced, thus assuring all pur-
chasers that the residences erected will
all be of very high order. Already
the firm reports the sale of a number
of lots in this tract. The Signal Hill
Improvement company reports the sale

BLAMES BOYS
FOR RUNAWAY
PEDDLER DISCoNSoLATE OVER
HIS HORSE
Poultry on Wheels Begins to Cackle
and Eggs Go by the Board in
Exciting Chase on San
Pedro Street

With hens cackling and rooster
growing defiance, an ancient horse at
tached to peddler's rickety wagon
night, vainly pursued by the owner,
Isaac Rosenburg of 104 San Pedro
street.
Although the owner ran as fast as
his legs could carry him, the horse
ran still faster and disappeared down
Los Angeles street. The last that
Rosenburg heard was the faint crow
of the rooster IN the distance and then
he hurried to the police station to in
quire If some kind hearted officer had
stopped the runaway and reported to
the desk sergeant.
81 care not so much for the rooster.
for he is tough" said Rosenburg.
But in the wagon were eggs, nice
fresh eggs, that should be delivered to-
night. And the hens-they were such
nice hens. When I see my cart again,
there will be no hens, no eggs and no
rooster.
81 never run so hard in my life be-
fore, no never. / cannot see how my
horse should run away. He is so
quiet and gentle. Such nice horse"
bewailed the disconsolate owner.
He said that he felt sure that bad
boys on Los Angeles street would Sc
cure all his poultry and eggs before
he got his wagon. He knew that the
horse could not run far, for it had an
impediment in it's breathing apparatus,
and he sighed heavily as he thought
of the ruthless way in which the pre-
cious freightage would be handled by
the young vandals.
"I will now go back and look some
more for my horse" said Rosenburg,
as he left the police station. eff he

such a bill to pay! This is my un-
lucky day"

of a large number of lots on the hill
during the past week. G.. w. Hughes
