Capitalists from over all the coun-
try are investing in San Diego prop
erty. The city has nearly $4,000 in
habitants. The town has a particu-
larly fortunate location, one that as
sures its position as an important
commercial city. The Bay of San
Diego is q land-lOcked harbor, %
square miles in area, with ample
depth of water for the largest vessels.
and it has excellent facilities for the
economical handling of freight and
stores between the ship and the cars.
San Diego is the first American port
north of Panama. and is the natural
point for distribution of freight
through all the southwest. 1t is al

from the East and Europe, coming
via the Tehuantepec Railway and the
connecting steamships that call reg
ularly. 1t is the Pacific terminus of
the Santa Fe Railroad, and will soon
have an additional transcontinental
connection with the completion of
the San Diego and Arizona Railroad,
now building.
