SAND HILLS MADE TO FLOWER
As the hills of sand now appear
where streets have not been cut
through and where buildings are OF
such recent date that dooryards filled
with flowers and shrubbery are not
much in evidence. so all Golden Gate
park was up to not many years ago.
II is interesting to note that owners
of some lots north of Fulton street
have adopted the methods that the
park commissioners approved when
they covered sandy Golden Gate park
with bunch grass TO prevent the sur
face from blowing up in ridges and
drifting eastward. Side by side lie the
splendid vegetation of the city's great
playground and large sandy tracts that
flank the park. There can be little
doubt that flowers and trees and other
vegetation will adorn all the present
hills of SIND and the sandy level in a
very short time.
The area of park vegetation now ex-
tends without break from Baker
street to the ocean and demonstrates
the possibility of improving the soil at
time it increases the drawing capacity
of the park.
BEAUTIES OF THE PARK
Splendid drives. a succession of arti-
fetal lakes. countless acres of lawn,
miles Of shade trees and flower beds,
a great stadium with speedway. and
attractions of many sorts. natural and
artificial, have made residence near the
park particularly desirable. In a scenic
way. beginning as far back as Ashbury
heights on the south of the park, a t
least there are views as fire as those
that have made Pacific heights and
Presidio heights property immensely
valuable.
The natural supposition is that the
Fulton street car line will most largely
benefit the south side of the Rich
mond district. Fulton street is not as
level as Fl street for a large part of it's
course. Nevertheless. the dense popu-
lation that will some time inhabft the
southwestern slopes of Richmond that
look down to the park, will undoubt-
edly cause the establishment of stores
along the lines of this most southerly
of Richmond's electric roads.
CIRCUIT OF THE PARK
Making the circuit of the park is
sufficiently interesting to please any
student of San Francisco's progress
who sees fit to make the tour, either
on foot or on the electric cars Sun
set is largely populated. The district
west of the chutes in Richmond. along
the park boundary, is practically yet
10 be populated. The territory is al
most as near virgin as was the West
ern addition of San Francisco when the
first of the cable roads climbed the
hills going westward. Brokers in
realty therefore look on this section
as a great field for their operations.
There are thousands of lots in the
aggregate TO be offered to the public
on some terms. There are miles OF
street work to be done in the ag-
gregate, but no very great length of
such Improvement on any street run

side of Fulton street there are places
where very deep fills must be made.

conquered. When we arrived there
men were perspiring freely trying to
feed circle saw, which was propelled
by belt fastened on to a wheel Of an

the horn. We now give fair warning

surprised If every family in our town
should in the near future, purchase an
automobile, which we now realize
can be used for pleasure and profit

well that night. He had package
under his arm which proved to be one
of his good old home made yiolins,
He treated us to some of the old time
hymns and marches that caused us
to work faster. Come again Mr. Leese,
you will always find our latch string
out.
