TowED SUCCESSFULLY.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-The ar
mored cruisers Tennessee, Washington
and California, towing the destroyers
Perry and Preble and the torpedo boat
Farragut, entered the harbor yesterday
morning about clock after trip
to San Diego and return. The towing
of destroyers and torpedo boats for long
distances at sea was an innovation in
naval practice, and the experiment was
made preliminary to the voyage to Sa-
mOa this fall.
Each cruiser had torpedo craft in
tow on the entire voyage, the latter
not even keeping up steam, and it was
announced that the experiment was an
entire success. The only mishap oc.
cured on the voyage down the coast,
when the chains, which had been thrown
around the coming towers of the tor
pedo boats, became kinked and the
links gave away. As soon as the chains
were replaced with wire cables no fur
Their difficulty was experienced.
A report of the voyage will be for
warded to Washington, and it is said
that it will announce the success of the
experiment. In this event the voyage
to Samoa will doubtless be made as
already contemplated, the cruisers tow
ing the torpedo craft and destroyers.

SPLENDID SITE FOR HOMES
North Cragmont Property Is in
Great Demand

The rapid and excellent growth OF
Berkeley since the San Francisco dis
aster has been the wonder and surprise
of not only the realty dealers but the
took up temporary residence in this
college city after the fire became sc
enarored of the delightful climate
and quiet restfulness, together with
the many other features which con-
tribute generally to a wholesome en-
vironment, that they purchased homes
and made Berkeley their permanent
abiding place. Even during the slump
last fall and since there has been no
vacant house is difficult to find.
The accessibility and rapid trans
portation service between Berkeley and
San Francisco and Oakland have been
the means of satisfying home seekers
who desire to live IN a home city sur
rounded with a good class of intelligent
people.
The growth has naturally been -
the north and strange as IL may seem
a great many families who sold their
homes at good prices in 1905 and moved
to the new part OF the city have ex-
pressed themselves as better pleased
with North Berkeley than with their
former location.
The Cragmont tract, which was COM
Dlet6ly sold out within three weeks
from the time 1t was placed on the
market by Harold Havens. is now con-
sidered on a par with Piedmont
heights for exclusive homes. This
tract is most magnificently located and
overlooks Berkeley. Oakland, San Fran
CISCO the bay, the Golden gate and the
shores of Marin On account of the
large and persistent demand for prop
erty in this part OF Berkeley Harold
Havens has secured and subdivided the
tract adjoining on the north and has
named it North Cragmont. Since this
company has begun grading and street
work ii has been importuned daily by
scores of home seekers who are par
ticularly anxious to secure large lots
before the opening day.
While no announcement has hereto
fore been made regarding the sub
division of North Cragmont more than
81 lots have been reserved this week
by parties who intend to build attrac-
tive homes on this desirable property.
From the class of people who are
purchasing il is evident that Crag-
mont and North Cragmont will be-
come a favored section for the exclu-
sive homes Of well to do people. The
elevation, size of lots and building re-
strictions insure large demand for
North Cragmont, for property cold un
der such favorable conditions always
enhances in value quickly.
This is the last of the hillside prop
critics and it is natural that it will be
in large demand when formally placed
on the market

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT

Buying paint used to be 1ike tho
proverbial buying of pig in a
poke" Mixtures fns which chalk.
ground rock. etc. predominated were
marked and sold as Pure White
Lead" the deception not Being ap-
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced. but We have learned to
expose 1t easily.
National Lead Company. the larg-
est makers OF genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers. set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted a trade mark. the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark. as a guaranty Of
purity. on every package OF their
White Lead. They then set about
familiarizing the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and genuineness of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished blow
pipe free to every one who would
write them for 1t. This action was In
itself guaranty Of the purity of Ma
tional Lead Company's White Lead.
