CAn SdSlCLA S4QCS are ll4lChlg CON-
cred with foliage, and whose northern
and western sides with herbage, green
from the time of the earliest rains un-
til midsummer. when they take on beau
tiful hues OF brown, offer majestic
prospect.
The activity and money wealth of the
city is shown by the number Of banks
and their volume of business. There are
four separate banking institutions. the
First National bank and Berkeley Bank
of Savings. the Berkeley National and
University Savings bank, the West
Berkeley and the South Berkeley banks.
AS regards manufacturing, the pos
sibilities OF the place have hardly be-
gun to be utilized. There are already
oil refineries, starch factory, grist
mill. ink factory, boot and shoe fac
tory. match and furniture factories and
the largest soap works in the state
But the opportunities for the erection
OF factories in the west end along the
bay shore are almost inexhaustible.
while power can be had from an cleo
trio system which comes from the Sierra
Nevada mountains directly TO the fac
tory doors.
The moral cleanness of the city is a
most Characteristic feature. Vigorous
methods are used by the city council
and the citizens for the prevention of
gambling and other vices, while no
liquor is allowed to be sold within one
mile of the university. This purity Of
the community makes Berkeley an ideal
spot for a wholesome and well ordered
home
It is the home which distinguishes
Berkeley. People come to the city to
stay. Here they find a spot where life
indoors and out is equally agreeable;
where the beauty of the landscape has
an ever present charm, though the sea-
scape is never the same; where the
bounties of nature in fruits. in flowers,
in all varieties of garden food make
life healthy and pleasant; where the
streets are well paved and lighted;
where the municipal government is eff
cient and clean, and where the intel
lectual life fiourishes In undated vigor.

educational center. The big university,

The beautiful Greek theater, with its
seating capacity of 5000 people and its
half hour concerts weekly, together
with the many dramatic and classic
plays which are given in the amphi-
theater by the university students. Is
q Berkeley attraction Of which the peo-
pie never tire. Lectures both popular
and technical are offered by the uni
versity ard many take advantage Of
the pleasures thus offered. Indeed. the
university has so much to offer in the
way of instruction and pleasure, not
only to students but to all residents OF
the college town. that numbers OF peo-
pie are drawn to Berkeley on account
of its nearness. The grounds. too. are
lovely in their varying colors and
changes of flowers and tree foliage.
and hundreds OF visitors may be seen
every Sunday promenading through the
woods and admiring the harmonious
architecture of the buildings as they
which drape them. Although there are
already IA buildings on the campus
they will soon give way to the fulfill
ing of the comprehensive and suitable
