EASTERN MEN WANT
CALIFORNIA LAND
Head of Baldwin & Howell's
Country Department Inspects
Tracts for CoIOnizers

J. z. Green, in charge Of the country
department of Baldwin & Howell has
just returned from business trip ex-
tending the entire length of Sacramento
valley and through Oregon and Wash
ington. The prime object Of this trip
was TO secure and inspect large tracts
Of land suitable for subdivision and
colonization work, in order to satisfy
the inquiries for such property now be-
ing made by eastern capital.
Never before has such universal in
terest been taken in large tracts Of
California lands" said Green. We
have had at least a dozen inquiries dur
ing the last few weeks asking US to
locate large tracts which could be irrf-
gated, subdivided and sold to colonists-
All these inquiries have been made by
wealthy corporations, several having
operated similar proposition in western
Canada, Texas, Colorado. Montana and
Idaho
SMALL FARMS FOR SETTLERS
I'm Oregon and Washington these
big companies have already started
operations. and il is only matter OF
months before California will begin to
feel the tremendous Influence of their
work Orchards and small truck farms
will take the place of carelessly Guilt
waited wheat fields. The breaking up
of immense areas, which we are now
listing. the tapping of streams to dis
tribute water over alfalfa fields and
gardens and orchards. will revolution
lie farming conditions throughout the
state.
Twenty acres will produce more in
actual dollars than 200 acres produces
now One hundred families VIII be
supported in affiuence where one family
lives on rented land today. All this
will have its effect upon San Francisco
and all other centers of population for
as we develop our resources we develop
our cities. With the land of CaIifor-
MIA under intensive cultivation. and
with the completion of the Panama
canal and the extension of our trade
with the orient, l can see I,000, 900
people in San Francisco. and can see
land that Is now selling at 500 front
foot treble in value.
There are many influences at work
to bring about tremendous demand
for San Francisco property and to
force realty values up as they have
never gone in any city of the world.
But there is one influence to my mind

mated to be worth $500 per front foot

The matter came up in Judge Cof-

two bidders who wished to make ad-

NOTHING TO STAY
THE CITY'S GROWTH
Some Reasons Why San Fran
Cisco's Onward March Is
Bright With Promise
By ]. w. WRIGHT

The real estate situation in San
Francisco is growing better constantly.
IT will grow better for great variety
country is immensely rich and is con
tinually producing that which is profit
able to the growers, miners and to the
capitalists in san Francisco who finance
a great share of all enterprises on
the Pacific coast. Another reason is
that the general condition of the en-
tire country. business ways. seems to
be Improving
There are numerous local reasons
that make San Francisco real estate
a good investment, and there are al
most as many NATIONAL and interna-
tional reasons for confidence. In the
last few years new transcontinental
has been in construction, with San
Francisco as its Pacific coast terminal.
The older transcontinental lines have
expended large sums of money that
mount collectively. into many millions
of dollars to improve their routes, with
cutoffs, tunnels, easier grades and
larger shortcomings of distances between
terminals, all of which is easy to con-
strue as a mark of confidence in our
solidity on the part of those who
have large investments, and who are
willing to add largely to these invest
ments to insure their business
THE PANAMA CANAL

ton, looms large on the horizon Of
the future as cause of great i'm
portance to our commerce. This, in
the minds of many, will be the greatest
thing for San Francisco that has been
witnessed for our local prosperity, en-
HANGING the value of real estate; in
creasing our commerce enormously;
making business thriving, of all sorts
and descriptions.
In continual contact with the buyers
of real estate in San Francisco and
the adjoining country, as we are, we
find that the feeling of confidence
grows steadily The period of doubt
has been left entirely behind us. We
have recuperated so rapidly after our
great disaster of 1906 and have built
so abreast of the times, where we have
covered burned over lots with class A
and other structures. that we have
given the whole world reason to have
confidence in US; equal to that which
we maintain locally.
NOTHING TO STOP ADVANCE
1t would not be easy 70 count up
all the advantage present and pros
pective that are ours. Standing out
with great prominence is the fact,
whenever we discuss the situation with
all sorts of men, that we can find no
one who has any reason or circum-
stance TO mention to show why we shall
not advance and expand in each and
every direction. The underwriters
who had reason to know of our losses
and to estimate all the chances since
our great fire, are lending large sums
of money for the rebuilding of San
Francisco.
The local banks have large sums of
money as assets and their deposits are
large. Private and public improve
ments are alike on q good scale--first
class, in fact. The capacity of the
country to produce crops and of the
mineral industry to realize wealth

would seem to be practically without
limit. We are preparing to enlarge our
harbor accommodations for the COM
MERGE of the world by improving our
system of wharves. The federal gov
eminent is expanding and will -expend
large sums of money in investments for
it's own use. The custom house in con-
struction, the fully restored postofffce
structure at Seventh and Mission streets
and the new subtreasury building, to
be constructed viii represent millions
of dollars of confidence that the nation
has shown in us.
GREAT COALING STATION
A great coaling station; a naval de-
pot; the Improvement of our system of
fortifications and torpedo service; the
firm determination of the people to re-
tain the Philippines, which implies the
continuation of the transport service
on the Pacific from and into this port;
the existence of a great naval ship
building plant and the greatest of
craving docks to serve the needs of
great sea carriers of commerce-count
these all In as elements that should
and do give us all confidence whenever
we stop to think of what we have and
what we shall become.
Then there is the size of the harbor
and its system of rivers that penetrate
into the land many miles to the ship
ping points of grain. etc, in the large
valleys of the state; the splendidly pic
turesque suburbs that lie close at hand,
holding out promises of homes to thou
sands and tens of thousands; the large
areas in San Francisco. served by street
railways, adjacent to all civic advan-
tages: the joy and comfort of life in
the climate that lures people from all
parts of the world to come and live here
and prevents them from going away
permanently, for they generally return,
wherever they go, and are glad to get
back; the sure fact that foreign COM
merce of the port will increase by leaps
and bounds. and that as we increase
our output of fruits, nuts, raisins,
wines, oranges, green and dried decidu-
Gus fruits, and so on, the domestic de-
mand for our products in the United
States will become greater and greater
annually.
We are not going to have a boom at
once. nor do we wish one, but we have
every reason for encoura cement and no
reason for the other sort of thing. The
happening of 1906 was simply an cpl
sode The permanent conditions on
which our prosperity rests were not all
affected. We have built better. seen
more clearly and are more entitled to
hope for better things since the fire

LYDIA E. PiNKHKM

Nature and q woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs OF the
field Lydia L. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for womap's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 516 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
OF other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times 1
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed IL, and can truly say that
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable. Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia L. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

examination.
But where does the delusion come
in there" asked Magoon.
Dr.. Collins answered that that was
not delusion. The delusion was
that Atcherley argued that Wayson
had tried to steal his remedy, that he
had tried to do him an injury, and
he argued in his irrational way that
his only means of retaliation was by
shooting Wayson, or some person in
his house. lie took an insane meth
cd of redress"
I Magoon tried to show through DR..
Collins that in case Wayson had act
ually taken Atcherley's drugs, or had
given him reason to believe that he
had done so, in such case Atcherley
had not labored under delusion.
Collins admitted this, but stated fur
thcr that the method OF redress taken
by Atcherley was, In every case, IRA
tlonal.
Dr. Collins classed Atcherley's dis
ease as paranoia, or mono-mania.
He was rational in every point, eX-
Ccpt in his belief that his only means
of redress was to shoot DR.. Wayson.
Magoon asked DR.. Collins IL he
thought Atcherley should be locked
up In the Insane Asylum.
DR.. Collins answered that the fact
that Atcherley was habitual user
OF morphine and cocaine was one rea-
son for doing so, as these drugs break
down the mental forces of the user.
Il think" he said" II is to the
best interests for DIR. Atcherley him
self and for the community that he
be placed in an asylum where his
mind might return TO normal con-
dition. think he might repeat the
attempt. AS long as he feels that
he has been injured and that these
are the only means of redress, the
idea of shooting DR.. Nayson may
come back to him ut any time"
Are you sure that all your facts
are correct?" asked Atcherley.
II have them on the best informa-
} ton" answered Collins.
Atcherley asked II II were not a
grievance II Wayson had stolen his
remedy. was using It, and had given
out that he had cured a leper, who,
: Atcherley knew, was not leper.
Collins answered that this would

was the fact that Atcherley had sait
that the shooting OF Wayson was hi,

I Are you sure | said only? Might

. In answer to further questions, DR.
Collins said that DR.. Atcherley's dis
ease was to a large extent brought
pbout by the excessive use of NOR
