BUILDING HOMES
ON THE PENINSULA
Baldwin & Howell Report Steady
Demand for Lots on
All Tracts

In speaking OF the remarkable
growth of the peninsula. which com
menced with the building of the cuton
in 1905, J. r. Howell of Baldwin &
Howell said:
I'VE look for great deal Of build
ing activity in all our tracts down
the peninsula. The speculative period
is resolving itself into hrmer con-
ditiOn. lot values are becoming staple
and the home seeker is taking the
place of the investor. with the result
that all present property owners and
all who buy at present prices will
notice in the next few years build
ing activity in this section that viii
bring them splendid profits.
Our experience at Dingee park is
proving this. for practically all of our
sales are being made to people who
want TO build and who do not want to
speculate"
Baldwin & Howell report a steady
call for Dingee park lots. and have sold
more than S150.0O0 worth. Several
houses are under construction. and in
a short time property values in this
tract will probably take the same jump
that has characterized similar high
class tracts at other points on the
peninsula

WILL AUCTION EAST
SAN MATEO PROPERTY
Last Portion of Hayward Home
to Be Sold Tomorrow

Auction sales by the East San Mateo
land company, which have been held
of the Alvinza Hayward property at
East San Mateo by W. H. Obear. the
eompany's president. have proved so
successful that a new tract the last
portion of the Hayward home, will
be offered At auction tomorrow. The
lots are as beautifully situated as any
on the peninsula. but have heretofore
been withheld from the market be-
cause they formed the old orchard.
They are still, in fact shaded by bear
ing trees.
The method of selling and liberal
terms which have characterized pre-
vious offerings of East San Mateo lots
will apply at the sale of the new tract
Obear's policy of selling the lots with
out reserve was regarded as an inno-
walton applied to high-class, restricted
property. but it proved TO have a pop
ularity even greater than was antici-
pated, and fully justified his judgment
that it would make for quick sales
1t is attractive to the bu@1er because he
is able to utilize comparative basis
and size up the opinions of others
looking for Investment along with his
on the same piece of property.
The service of 40 trains daily with
10 cent fare is proving an incentive
in building up San Mateo, and the pc
culiarly favorable situation of the East
San Mateo land company's tracts has
kept them in the lead since they have
been offered for sale.
The tract which will be offered for
the first time tomorrow lies immedi-
ately east of the Hotel Peninsula. and
is within three blocks of the Southern
Pacific depot, electric ears and the
business section of San Mateo.
The East San Mateo land company
will run free excursion trains to to-
morrow's sale. leaving the depot at
Third and Townsend streets at IL a.
m. An airship will fly in connection
with the auction sale.

PREFER CREDITORS
Judge SeaweH Holds Checks
First Claim Against Safe De-
post Company's Assets

Preferred claims against the Califor-
MIA safe deposit and trust company to-
falling $4,000 were allowed by Judge
Seawell yesterday. These claims were
Based upon checks presented to the
bank during the two days before it
closed. delivered to the Anglo Califor-
nian bank for collection. and collected
by the last mentioned bank after the
doors of the insolvent institution were
closed. Receiver LIE Breton must pay
the $45. 900 before he can declare a div
idend to depositors.
Other claims aggregating about $50,
600, also based upon checks turned
over to the Anglo Californian bank for
collection, were at the same time out
lawed by Judge Seawell because of the
failure of the owners to present their
claims in time.
A petition by the Western Pacific
railroad company to have claim of
$44, 900 declared a preference is under
submission TO the court.
AS soon as all the preference claims
have been disposed of the receiver
will be in a position to pay dividend.
He has enough cash in hand to pay a
10 per cent dividend, which will absorb
about 5000 900.

|ODDf[LLOWS' HOME
. BUILDING DEFERRED
Grand Lodge Decides That Los
Gatos Plans Shall Be Con-
sidered Next Year

The grand lodge of Odd Fellows of
California had lengthy discussion
yesterday on the proposition to build
new home for aged members on the
orders land near Los Gatos An effort
was made to proceed at once to build
on the site, but there was objection on
the ground that the home at Thermalito
was available for many years to come
and accessible by IA trains daily This
was offered in opposition to the state
ment that the Santa Clara valley was
more central and Thermalito too far
away 1t was finally decided that the
trustees should have plans and speci-
fcations prepared for consideration at
the session in Fresno next year.
The grand lodge received a resolu-
ton empowering the incoming grand
master to appoint a committee of three
to oppose any attempt to change the
state law in relation to holding title to
real estate by fraternal societies.
The suggestion of the grand master
that white males between the ages of
10 and p should be admitted into the
order was referred to the grand rep
resentatiVes for submission to the SOW
ereign grand lodge.
The vote by which the grand lodge
refused to concur in the recommended
tion of the committee on appeals and
grievances to send back to the lodge
the papers in the case of Gilbert who
was expelled for conduct unbeeoming
an Odd Fellow. in order that the dates
might be definitely fixed in the. charges,
was reconsidered and the case goes
back 70 the lodge

realty is moving with great CELEBRITY
since the opening for sale OF the new
tract in the Boswell ranch district.
Automobiles are seen each day taking
prospective buyers out to the new
lands, and the Cragmont district, which
has OF late received another boom is
also going fast. The new residences
going up in the Claremont district
show the manner in which this tract
is selling, and the work of building
the new hotel in this district has
started, in spite of the rumors of finan-
cial stringency which are current.

1sfactory opening at Thousand Oaks.

with this district through its fame as
the old Indian burial ground, and the
vigorous campaign to make it a city
park that the mere announcement of
its being on the market has brought
great many inquiries from old
habitues of the place. The Southern
Pacific has secured all franchises for
their double loop in Solano avenue
from the Shattuck avenue. California

announced that it expects lines to be
running in Is months through all the

eddy encouraging.

be found in the West Berkeley fac
tory district. among which is the new
Eel Dorado wharf and warehouse at the
foot of University avenue. The work
on the new Shattuck hotel and the an
mex to the First national bank build
ing is going on rapidly. The Henry
". Taylor residence in Claremont and
the Hart residence are nearing compile
ton, and work will soon be begun on

The old Paine residence, which has
stood at the corner of University and
Shattuck avenues for many years, gave
way to the advance of modern Berke-
ley today and was removed to lot in

On the site of the Paine property and
for 100 feet south of the corner num-
Der of stores will be erected modern
in every particular.
