NEW HOTEL TO 0UTRlVAL THE
RAYMOND
Elaborate Plans Arranged for Pictur-
esque District Close to the City.
Short Line Railway From
Pasadena to Long Beach

While there is a general activity dis
played in buying real estate throughout
the city, there seems at times to break
out rapid fire of buying and selling
in special localities. West Adams
Heights had its run, then certain
southwestern localities came into the
race Now a locality quietly develop
ing irresistible attractions has turned
all eyes upon it. In the northeast part
of the city, the Eastlake Park district
just away from the noise of traffic.
from the rush and turmoil of business,
lies the prettiest country possible for
poet or artist to describe.
Almost surrounding it, like a dividing
wall, the hills rise abruptly, increasing
into mountain peaks that stand like
sentinels guarding the beautiful valley
below. Special attractive features and
valuable accessories are the streets.
Harrison avenue, 100 feet broad, has
recently been graded and now for miles
an army of men are busily engaged
laying down the long steel rails that
soon are to form the four-track cleo
trio railway to Covina. Along this
street at intervals, corners and oblong
plats will be decorated with flowers,
trees and shrubbery, giving it a park
like appearance.
Pasadena and Long Beach
Soto street to be widened into 120
foot boulevard, becoming a part of the
Grand Pacific boulevard that is to eX-
tend from Pasadena to Long Beach.
All through the hills walks and drive
ways will indicate the way to the
pretty village and homes of the we'll
to-do.
When all the plans have been COM
pleted and the thousands of dollars
spent in the transformation of this
modest little country valley, 1t is des-
tined to become the show place of Los
Angeles. No locality has greater pos
sibilities.
1t is now proposed to build hotel
on one of the highest hills that will
ottrival the Raymond in size and archi-
tectural beauty.
Surrounding this special point of in
terest develops feature of great ad-
vantage, an opportunity to the investor
and homeseeker. The land is particu-
larly adapted to home sites, being
served by three different car lines, a
ride of less than fifteen minutes from
the business center.
TIL close proximity to electric connec-
tions, gas, water, ETC., is going to hasten
the completion of all these plans under
way. These facts have been appreciated
and a San Francisco company has re-

New Haven, CT, Dec. 23-It is not
anything that the national body has
done. said Edward l.. Hearn, supreme
knight of the Knights of Columbus. to-
day when shown dispatch from Mont

colt all French manufacturing firms and
that its members had agreed not to buy

Canada, and that such action might pos
sibly come before the board OF directors
of the order. which meets next month
