twenty acres of the sixty acre tract
now and next year will complete the
planting of the other forty.

trees are eight inches high and will be
planted in rows seven feet apart. with
the trees six feet apart in the rows.
The trees will be Watered for the first
season, after which Allen expects them
to take care of themselves. The sugar
gum is the most drought resisting of
any member of the eucalypti family
and makes beautiful timber of Q red
dish hue, very much resembling mahog-
any. It is admirably suited for max
ing furniture, car finishing and the
like.
Allen has charge Of the grounds of
the Potter hotel and is a practical
nurseryman. He proposes to cultivate
the trees three or four times during
the summer and will give them the
best possible care. He has owned the

lyptus will be profitable in this section.

II San Diego viii
Make Good

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 26.-In order to
facilitate the work of erecting the bio
logical station at La Jolla, 1t is possible
that the Biological association will lay
the water pipe from La Jolla to the site
of the buildings at its own expense,
the association to be reimbursed by the
city when sufficient funds are at hand.
Julius Wangenheim, representing the
Biological association, was present at
the meeting of the council Monday
night and asked that some steps be
taken toward laying the pipe line i'm
mediately, as he said it meant the i'm
mediate expenditure of about $4,000,
and that it was a possibility that in
the near future nearly $1,000,000 would
be expended, although he did not say
how the large sum was to be used.
When 1t was shown that the city did
not have funds on hand at present
which would allow it to proceed with
the work, Wangenheim indicated his
willingness to have the pipe line built
at the expense of the association, the
city to pay for the work when it has

POMONA MAN CLOSES
DEAL FOR 100000
Land Is Unimproved and Buyer Will
Develop a Large Part, Sowing
AlfaIfa-Water Is Close
to Surface

POMONA, Sept. 26.-One of the larg-
est real estate deals ever closed in Pom
ona was consummated during the past
week, through the agency of Edward
E. Gillen & Co., in which they sell to
a prominent party in Pomona five sec
lions, or 5000 acres, of fine unimproved
land in Fresno county located only a
short distance from the city of Fresno.
About two weeks ago Gillen made a
business trip to Fresno and while
there inspected the land. 1t appeared to
him to be an unusually desirable prop
osition and every section that he
recommended was taken in the pur-
cl.ase.
The buyer will develop large por-
ton of this land, sowing it to alfalfa,
as it is considered excellent for that
purpose Water in abundance can be
had sixteen feet from the surface. The
whole 1900 acres is within a mile or
two of the railroad and close to thriv-
ing towns.
The deal represents a little under
100000, and shows that large investors
have faith in California lands and also
have faith in the financial condition
of the country Notwithstanding a pres
idential election is close at hand. When
the large investor Is optimistic and
not afraid to invest his money the
smaller investors have more confidence
in affairs.

FINE WALNUT RANCH
SELLS FOR $25,ooC

A. G.. Cramblitt has just purchased
from Admire Cole ct al forty-three
acres set principally to full bearing
English walnuts of the best variety.
Considering the superior quality of the
soil, it's tree setting and other valuable
improvements, consisting of a neat
and attractive modern residence,
barns, processing and storage build
ings, complete fencing; together with
valuable and abundant water rights,
the price for which the premises were
purchased, to wit, $4,000, is regarded
as a reasonable figure. 1t is UNDER
stood that negotiations on this basis
were only made possible by reason of
the desire of the grantors to settle up
an estate matter.
While the property is very highly
productive at the present time, the
purchaser contemplates making 1t
more so by taking out some deciduous
trees and setting about ten acres TO
the famous Valencia late orange,
which In that vicinity, in full bearing,
yields a crop selling for about $1,000 an
acre per annum.
One of the interesting features of the
place is beautiful young Sequoia
tree, which was brought from the
Yosemite valley and set near the front
gate. The new owner will further orna-
ment and improve the property in
many ways and stock 1t with blooded
animals and fowls, apd, although It is
now widely known as one of the show
places of the section, it will doubtless
be the banner place of the district In
the very near future. This Will be ac-
complished under the immediate d.
rection of Mr. Cramblitt, by foreman
and his family, whom he will move
out from Chicago, the purchasers for
mer home, where he was in the employ
of one firm for twenty-nine years. He
expects to make his home here from
now on, and as he is a man favorably
he Will doubtless be the means of in
ducing some of his friends to locate in
the vicinity of his recent purchase.
Mr.. Cramblitt will market his wall
nuts through the Rivera Walnut
Growers association, of which he will
become q member.
