anvil CHORUS
WILL COMMENCE

The Ancient Order of Knockers
is the latest addition to lodge circles
of the city and judging from the en-
thusiasm demonstrated by the gentle
men who were sworn in as charter
members at the organization of the
lodge this week, the future success
of the same seems to be certainty.
The name Of the order signifies
this much; that it will be the purpose
of its members to indulge in little
goodnatured raillery now and then,
in fact to do a little knocking" of
the inoffensive sort and to promote
good fellowship. Photographs Of the
officers and charter members have
been taken and the poses are true to
life of THE western Bohemian who
enjoys a good time and knows how
to have it. The symbol Of the order
is a hammer and members are in
structed to use it without fear OF
favor. The officers elected at the
meeting were: President, l.. McMil-
Ian; vice president, VIM. Yeon; secre-
tary. Archie Rose; treasurer, Frank
Hopkins.
The charter members OF the lodge
are Patrick Yeon, L. Mcmillan, Cal
Lewis, VIM. Yeon, Frank Hopkins, M.
Osborne. A. B. Clarke, Archie Rose,
and r. u. Melbourne Gus Meyers
is the Grand High Leader of the
chorus.

OAKLAND REAL ESTATE
MARKET HAS FIRM TONE
Notable Gain in Population
Causes Large Demand
for Home Sites
BUILDING is ACTIVE
Commercial Structures Are
Rushed Owing to Need
Shown by Trade

OAKLAND, March 17.-OpiniOn among
business men is strong that the realty
market in this city and, for that mat
ter, on the entire eastern side OF the
bay, is in a healthy condition. Specu-
lative tendencies. which developed early
after the big fire. have not overcrowdeo
the legitimate demands. Bankers have
assumed a conservative attitude, which
has checked the danger from an abnor-
nal development and valuations have
been maintained upon the business basis
OF supply and demand. The market is In
excellent shape. These views are en-
tertained by the dealers IN realty who
are handling large amounts OF outside
capital.
An interesting side OF the situation
is the notable increase in population
on the east side. including the three
cities OF Oakland, Berkeley and Ala
media and the suburbs. Much OF the
new population is undoubtedly from
the east and from other points on the
Pacific Coast. There is large over
flow residential increase from San
Francisco. A percentage OF this gain

business are in much denand. To meet
the inquiry the building resources OF
this city and its neighbors are being
taxed TO their utmost. There is a con
tinued increase in demand for homes
and this brings naturally in its train 5
demand for business properties.
New railroad development IN OAK
land and vicinity is one OF the i'm
portant factors of growth. Every
thing points TO active operations on the
part Of the Key Route, the Santa Fe
the Western Pacific and the Southern
Pacific in Fastening their construction
opeations hereabouts on new lines
suburban and main.
Work is being rushed on new busi-
ness blocks downtown. The steel
