The new, burglar proof manganese
steel safe, recently received by the Bill
ings State bank is attracting consider
able attention. The safe was received
Friday, but owing to the fact that the
combination was damned in shipping,
the officials OF the bank were unable
to open it and an expert from the
factory was telegraphed for. The safe
is standing beside the front window in
the bank awaiting the arrival OF the
expert when it will be placed In the
vault.
The safe is Of the cannon ball type,
and is similar in design and working
parts to the one in the Huntley bank,
which defed the efforts Of cracksmen
to open, recently. It is equipped with
a time locking apparatus and the door
Is locked by a cog arrangement. After
the time lock is set, and the clock
stops at the desired time the cogs are
thrown into gear, and after the COM
bination is operated the cogs are
thrown into position by q hand crank,
and the door of the safe can then be
opened.

The door fits into the safe cavity so

lOEWE TRACT WILL
SOON BE SOLD OUT
Captain Obermeyer, Agent, Con-
fident Remaining Lots Will Be
Disposed OF This Month

Captain Obermeyer agent for the
Loewe tract, says: This property is
still in active demand and today there
are less than so lots to be disposed
Of, which, judging from the record al
ready made, Will be sold within the
next 80 days.
1t is rather interesting" continued
the captain, ito note the different ad-
dresses given by our purchasers. They
are as widely apart as one could inn
agine-north, south, east and west,
with all the intermediate points fully
represented, and some even from out of
town.
Their selection of lots as to location
is as scattering Is their present where
abouts. For instance, here is a pecu-
liar case:
Here is a man by the name of Bur
kett, whose occupation compels him to
visit practically every portion of San
Francisco county about once a week
particularly the outlying sections, and
his purchase, as you can see by our
map, is at the very farthest extremity
of the Loewe tract. He was among our
first buyers, yet this was his special
choice, selection which proves that he
had determined ideas as to precisely
what he wanted.
4 was curious why a man as ex-
perienced in San Francisco's urban
properties as Burkett undoubtedly is
happened to have a preference for the
Loewe tract, and questioned him in
directly concerning it. His reply was
most gratifying to me, for to use his
own words, he said: L consider the
Loewe tract the very best proposition
ever offered
This from a stranger, who, in suit
ing his own desires favored us above
all others, is decidedly encouraging"

Leasing of Business Properties Unusually Lively During the Week
new THEATFRS ARE
PLANNED FOR CITY
II. P. Ladarre Reports Building
of Fine New Playhouse
in Broadway

San Francisco. if the present rate of
theater building continues. will be one
of the best equipped cities on the con-
tinent for places of amusement Be
fore the fire theaters were more or less
concentrated, but now nearly every sec
tion Of the city has a theater. North
Beach will have a theater shortly which
it is said will be equal in size and
with as good acoustic properties as
any in the city.
Far up on Union street small thea
ters have been opened. Chinatown has
two theaters on the American plan, TO
say nothing Of the Chinese show
houses.
The Mission is well supplied with
theaters and several Of them are as
large as in the old theater district
The number of theaters already con-
structed does not, however. seem to
have any effect upon the plans of build
ers, for a new and large theater is
now under construction in the north
erly line of Broadway between Stock
ton and Dupont streets.
II. p. Ladarre reports that a lease
has been taken for 20 years on half
of a so vara lot in that street for
$4,000 on the account of A de Martini
to Ben Michaels. who is building a con-
crete theater to be known as the
Palace. 1t will cover an area of 4Ox
120, and the management will endeavOr
to make it one of the finest show
places in the North Beach district.

LOTS IDEAL FOR
SUMMER BUNGALOWS
Professional Men Buy Places
From California Suburban
Land Company

The California suburban land com
pany reports good results from its
novel plan for selling a number of lots
for advertising purposes at SO each.
The unusual character of the offer has
attracted wide notice and already Red
wood park is becoming one of the best
known subdivisions that has been
opened recently.
During the last week many sales
were made and the number of interest
ed inquiries was far in excess of the
companys expectations.
An interesting thing in this connec-
ton is the character of people who
are attracted by the Offering of low
priced lots. Many well known pro-
fessional men of the city have taken
advantage of the low figures to secure
a summer home while others have
seen the speculative opening to be had
in buying property at such unheard Of
figures.
The owners of the tract now have a
rustic bungalow nearing completion.
Several of the recent purchasers have
signitied their intention of improving
their lots in the same fashion.
Two crews of engineers are at work
surveying the streets and plating the
tract. Several other important i'm
provements are under way. OF the
numerous visitors at Redwood park
during the last week, all returned to
the city full of enthusiasm about the
natural beauty of the place and com
mendation for the rapid Improvement
work that is being done.

Dan O'Callaghan, in discussing the

exercise it, to relieve the party from
the default and forfeiture upon the
payment to said land board the amount
due with the penalty, provided in the
meantime the land had not been sold
or leased.
1T viii be noticed that under this law
the state board of land commissioners
is limited in its power and has the
right only to relieve party from "a
forfeiture when the land has not been
either sold or leased subsequent to the
forfeiture. But the Legislature of 1907
amended this law to make 1t read in
so far as material here, as follows:
Section 30. chapter 16i. session laws
of 1907: Any person whose lease or
contract of sale has been forfeited
may. however, be relieved from such
forfeiture at any time before the land
has been appraised or re-appraised or
has again been sold or leased
by this amended act the board Is
further limited in Its power to relieve
a person from his default or forfeiture
and can now only relieve a person from
forfeiture when the land has snot been
appraised. re-appraised, sold or leased
to application for relief, but if either
one of these conditions exist the board
is deprived of its Jurisdiction to grant
any relief from the forfeiture and has
no power to restore to the original les
see or purchaser his former rights, and
If the land Is not sold 1t reverts back
to the state and is to be treated as 9TH
er state lands"

DEFAULTED CONTRACTS.
Atty. Gen. Breeder Interprets Law
With Regard TO Forfeited Lands.

Atty.-Gen. Breeder gave last evening
the following opinion in reply to a
query from secy. t. C. Callister of the
state board of land commissioners, rel
astive to default in payment for state
;ands and rights possessed by the state
board:
Il beg To acknowledge receipt OF
your communication of the I'D inst. in
which you submit for my official opinion
this proposition; When purchaser
OF lessee has defaulted In his contract
Tor state lands and such contract has
peen forfeited and cancelled. has the
STATE board of land commissioners the
tlght 70 relieve such persons from such
torfeltures?'
Under the law as IT existed up to
1877 the state board OF land commits
sloners had the right. II It saw 1T to
