FOUR FINE TRACTS
WITH LARGE LOTS
HIGH GROUND AND VIEW OF
MOUNTAINS
Wiltshire Heights, Boulevard Heights
West Seventh Street Tract and
Norton Place Embrace the
Attractive List

When the University and West
Adams Traction street car lines were
built the southwestern section of the
city began the substantial improve-
ment which has made IL we'll bullt-up
section of handsome homes. The Will
shire boulevard district, one to one and
a half miles closer to the business
center than these southwestern Sec
tlons, is to have good car service.
If the elevated, gently undulatlng
table land on each side of Wiltshire
boulevard could have had street car
service four years ago, it would have
shown the same substantial progress
noticeable in the West Adams heights
section. Now that car service is as
sured, the slightly, close-in property
along Wiltshire will be rapidly inn
proved.
The owners of all the property in the
vicinity of Wiltshire boulevard are
working together to make this one of
the best residence districts of the city.
None but two-story houses are being
permitted; streets and sidewalks are
wide; all poles and wires are to be at
the rear of the lots; no flats, stores,
uOlDlG uuuSeS VI temporary STRUCTURES
of any kind are allowed.
The Messrs. Barry Bros. 32S-329
Brad bury building. are agents for four
tracts lying along each side of Wiltshire
boulevard. They have a branch office
on the northwest corner of Wiltshire
boulevard and Bronson avenue, in
charge of c. B. Felts.
Wiltshire terrace. Boulevard heights,
West Seventh street tract and Norton
place are exceptionally well located ON
higt ground. No houses can be built
to cost less than $4,000 to $4,000 and all
must be two full stories. The lots are
large. Prices range from $3.50 to $500.
averaging about $1100.
From the high ground in these tracts
the outlook is truly magnificent, includ-
ing a birdseye view of the city and
surrounding country. with the ocean
plainly visible. The ever changing
view of the mountain semicircle from
"Old Badly" to the sea is particularly
inspiring. Lots are selling rapidly to
buyers, who are securing home sites in
a first-class location now, while prices
are low. Improvements have been be-
gun on all four of these tracts and
will be pushed rapidly to completion.
The contract has been let by the city
for the improvement of Wiltshire boule-
ward, 100 feet wide, to the western city
limits; Charles Stansbury having the
contract for the eastern and the Hall
CONSTRUCTION company for the western
section.

Shrewd dealers in realty, to whom
more than to any other one factor the
development of the south and south
west sections of the city is due, are now
interesting themselves most actively in
the territory to the northwest of the
business section of Los Angeles, ana
the result Is being seen in the number
OF new railways planned and the vast
amount OF fine land that is being put
into shape for residence builders. The
northwest section is considered by
many be. )nd question the region in
which during the next three to five
years is to be seen the same improve
ment that has been noticed in the
Pico Heights and West Adams sections
In the last three years, and the same
profits that were made there, fortunes
In many instances, will find repetition
in the district in question. For years
the district has been held back by the
poor street car service provided and
by lack of hustlers who might be re-
lied on to call its manifold beauties
and advantages to the notice of buy
ers. In point of elevation and in scenic
advantages it is to a large degree the
finest territory about Los Angeles. The
frne of aristocratic Hollywood has
given to all that section north of Will
shire boul ward a value that is appre-
ciated best by those who are desirous
of home sites where conditions for COM
fort and health are ideal.
Proximity to Western avenue. the
longest straight boulevard in Southern
California and destined to become the
fashionable residence street of Los An
geles from one end to the other, is a
desideratum of weight with buyers
who are looking for something that is
going to advance rapidly in value in
the course Of few months.
AS indicative of the popularity of
tracts in ais territory where the prices
of lots still are reasonable, may be
mentioned the Vendome Park tract,
owned by Messrs. Hack and Osborne
Of the Byrne building. This tract was
placed on the market in November by
the firm named and of the ~ lots in
the tract at the southwest corner of
Melrose and Western avenues, more
than two-thirds have been sold at
prices ranging from $3.50 to $780, The
same firm has just opened a tract of
full half-acre lots on MelroSe avenue
just west of Western avenue, and these
lots, more extensive in area than three
ordinary lots, are finding ready sale at
$lOOO each. The latter tract is known
as the Stafford Villa tract.
South of Melrose avenue and east of
Western avenue the La Paloma addi-
tion of more than $50 lots has been
practically sold since last fall at prices
of about $500 lot. The La Paloma
addition is owned by Peter Hack, who
has several fine tracts in this neighbor-
hood.
The new Temple street car line is TO
be built directly past the tracts named,
and rights of way have been secured
Tor two other lines of electric railway
through this section. Acreage has
changed hands lately at more than is
now being asked for lots in improved
tracts, and an immediate and consider
able advance in prices is to be ex-
pecte.

will be also planted to palms and rare
trees and otherwise beautified.
Althouse Bros and Arnold & Dodge
are two firms that build many of our
largest and most artistic houses and
also large numbers of beautiful and
expensive bungalows, and it is their
intention to not only improve these
subdivisions ready for sale, but they
will also build some Of their besr
houses on these tracts as soon as this
new district is sufficiently developed
to justify such work. Some of the
members of these firms are contem
plating erecting and occupying with
permanent homes some portions Of
these beautiful tracts.

Nothing else will take the place OF
good cheer and laughter at meals or
any other time in the home. There is
a vital connection between amiability
and digestion-between good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter is the best
friend the liver has. and depression. or
melancholia, its worst enemy. Numer-
GUS experiments have shown that
mirth and cheerfulness stimulate the
secretion OF the gastric juices. and are
powerful aids to digestion. Yet. know.

The complete accord resulted from

The causes OF the long dispu,. over
Moroccan afiairs. which led France

conference. were that the empire o'
Morocco, an absolute despotlsm. has
been In state or turmoil for

natural course OF events In u
country unrestricted by amy lnwH
civil or religious. and also on account
OF the STEADY warfare which the Sui
