BEAUTIFUL LOTS AT GLENDALE
Big Things Doing at the New and
Beautiful Suburb of Los
ANGELES

In the beautiful and romantic valley
of San Fernando lies Glendale, the most
charming suburban town in the world.
The city has every advantage for COM
fort, for educatiop for society,
churches, sanitarium, mountain water
and perfect electric transportation. The
Huntington cars make the trip in
twenty-five minutes. The Glendale
Boulevard tract, comprising 500 acres,
for which Holman & Campbell at Casa
Nerdugo, North Glendale, are agents, is
the property of IL. E. Huntington and
l.. C. Brand. This new trace fronts a
boulevard 190 feet wide that is now
being graded, oiled, curbed, cement
sidewalks being laid, palm trees plant
ed, as well as ornamental cobblestone
gates being erected at each crossing.
This is undoubtedly magnificent lOca-
ton for a home. The boulevard will
extend from the foot of Verdugo's high
est point to the Los Angeles river, a
distance of four miles, making one of
the most magnificent drives in South
ern California.
Climatic conditions are perfect, the
air having a delightful refreshing quail
ity. There is no better recommended
ton as to the health-reStOrng possi-
bilites of this favored section than to
state that in Glendale is located
branch sanitarium of the Battle Creek
Sanatorium. AT an elevation or 9OO 1eeL
Glendale is removed from the damp
ness and fogs of other suburban towns
of Los Angeles and has an atmospheric
condition peculiarly adapted to the
healing of bronchial troubles, nervous
diseases, etc.
From a profitable standpoint it may
be remarked that citrus fruits, berries
and all kinds of vegetables are Won
derfully abundant and full favored.
The dry air is also big asset for
any one going into the business of
raising chickens, pigeons or turkeys.
Flocks of chickens were seen in splen-
did condition. The stability of the town
eself Is unquestioned. Business and
building activity were marked on all
Sides Carpenters, painters, bricklay-
ers, laborers and graders are building
new community. An elegant depot
built by the Pacific Electric and Los
Angeles Intururban r. r., is completed
and will be one of the handsomest
suburban depots in California. Stores
are carrying standard lines in all kinds
of goods and driving brisk trade.
The lots are 50X150 feet and sell at
$500 each. Three lots will be presented
to those who will erect houses in sixty
to ninety days.

LARGER INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
Plans Of II. e. Huntington and Others
for the Southeast Section.
Tract Sold for $125,ooo

In the great southeast section that
has attracted the attention of such
shrewd investor as II. E. Hunting
ton, i'm the district that adjoins the
city limits on the east and south, is
the zone according TO real estate OPP
orators, that will show the greatest
increase in the years to come In
that area has Mr.. Huntington created
not alone a residence section, but the
trend of his efforts are now directed
toward creating an industrial section
that will become the home of not alone
the factory and the workshop, but the
home place as well of the thousands
of artisans who will be employed in
producing the manufactured product.
Adjoining the properties that Mr..
Huntington has already plated and
that have proved popular among in
vestors, the seventy-one acres belong
ing to the Cunningham interest have
been purchased by the Huntington
Park Improvement company for
round figure of $125,OO0. This acreage
will be plated as soon as the surveys
are completed and the boundaries of
the streets are located.
This well located property will he
divided into about 3iS lots that will
face graded streets, cement pave
ments and regulation curbs The
streets will be oiled and rolled and
trees will be planted in front of each
lot. and the best of water will be
piped to all frontages. The property
is very slightly and by actual meas
urement is on a level with Boyle
Heights. Thus it is that the view is
unobstructed and lying near the
ocean the sea breezes sweep the ell
tire tract.
Grading of this tract will begin in
about ten days, and when placed
upon the market will be known as
Groveland, from the fact that an
elegant grove OF eucalyptus trees is
on the tract and that will not be de-
stroyed to make room for the many
Improvements contemplated,
The land now faces Irvington street
and Florence avenue and other streets
will be created to conform to the
topography of the land. The five
cent car fare limit is operative to this
plating, as it is reached by the Whit
tier short line.
The Huntington Improvement COM
pany embraces Percy w. Ross, r. N.
Shaw, j. s. Gortner and H. c. Ack-
erly.

CHICAGO AND FIRST CHANGE
old Electric Power House to Be Torn
Down and Car Service
improved

Residents of Boyle Heights and other
property owners along East First
street will he pleased to learn that i'm
the near future the old electric power
house on the southwest corner of Chi
Cago and First streets is to be removed
by the railway company. 1t is stated
on good authority that after the build
ing is removed the crook in the railway
track will be changed so that the line
will run at an easy slant across Chi
cago street through the northern ends
of the three lots occupied by the build
ing, thus avoiding the double curve
that has not only been an annoyance
to the patrons of the line, but of con-
siderable wear and tear on the COM
panYs rolling stock. A few days ago
lot 3, block I, in Stevenson's subdi-
vision, the lot adjoining the old power
house on the south and fronting on
Chicago street, was sold for $4,000. The
purchase is supposed to have been
made in the Huntington interests to
supply south frontage for the power
house lots.

JUDGE MAsHs CANDIDACY.

There is such very great satisfae-
tion with the personnel of the present
school board that it was hardly antici-
pated that there would be the least
contest for the directorate.
In the case of Judge Marsh it was
his very great desire to be relieved
from the onerous duties of the secre-
taryship of tn board which he has
held so many years and he believed
at this election that he might retire
from the position as member OF
the board without any very general
demand for his reelection.
But it is the friends of Judge
Marsh in this instance who are de
manding that he be reelected again
60 till the position Of director in
the board of school control for the
very singular reason indeed of his
fun equipment for the work In that
position. 1t cannot be disputed that
from six to eight years of work In
that public position has well equipped
him to perform its duties and in the
judgment of the people there is no
one hardly who could do so we'll
Even his friends have nothing to
say against the candidacy of the op.
position candidate. Mr. McCulloch
nor have we. but words of praise foi
him as gentleman, business mar
and public official. but we. think thai
in the present instance Judge Marsi
should receive the votes of the peo
pie for director because of his pecul
lar fitness for the position and es
pecially because he does not seek tn,
Office but the Office is seeking him.
