REDWOOD CITY ON
THE EVE OF A BOOM
May Be Great Railroad Center
and Attracts Buyers

There seems to be great deal OF
realty activity in and around Red
wood City, due to the approaching
opening of the Dumbarton cuton,
which is attracting speculation on ac-
count of the probability of that sec
ton becoming an important railroad
center. and also to the harbor improve

and public corporations.
Baldwin & Howell report that they
are meeting with great success in their
sale of lots in Dingee park, and that
the demand seems to be coming from
bona hde home seekers, the majority
of whom state that they expect to
build shortly.
There are few who are buying in
DfnRee park for investment, however,
and taking lots in groups, sale being
made last Saturday of six lots to James
Mason. Mason's purchase was purely
of speculative nature, the amount

He looked into the market of in

BIG DEMAND FOR
SAN MATEO SITES
Purchasers Show Eagerness to
Buy Residential Property
in This Section

Realty men report a demand for all
classes of peninsula residential prop
erty, particularly in and around San
Mateo and Redwood City. This is rather
unusual for the months of early sum-
mer, and seems to Indicate an exceed
ingly healthy condition of affairs. Buy
ers in encouraging numbers are pur-
chasing lots for actual improvement,
and their money is being rapidly put
into attractive and substantial dwell
ings.
In fact, the excellent transportation
facilities are Transforming the suburbs
so rapidly that even those realty opera
tors who are most widely informed on
peninsula developments confess their
inability to follow all the numerous ac-
tivities.
Al present a great portion of interest
naturally centers around San Mateo on
account of the popularity of the new
Peninsula hotel, near which lots are
selling with great rapidity
we have had a veritable boom in
Hayward park during the last week,
said Frank Grummon of San Mateo,
resident agent for Baldwin & Howell.
Ever SINCE the carnival, peOple nave
been calling for information on Hay
ward park lots and several sales have
been made as a direct result. l am
not surprised at the strength of the
market on this property however, as
its future is absolutely assured. but the
sales of other properties which are
purely speculative are quite remark
able and exceedingly gratifying.
When you find the public willing
to speculate you can feel sure that all
sound properties, such as Hayward
park, Burlingame, Central addition, San
Mateo park, etc, will show a substan-
tial increase in value" continued Grum-
mon. I'm fact. we have noticed 1t al
ready and can point to several in
stances where purchasers OF lots close
to the Peninsula hotel have resold at a
profit of double their actual cash In
vestment. All this tends to keep up
interest, and nothing pleases the real
estate man more than to see such
profits made, for it is always a fore
runner of great activity"
Hayward park is one of the few I'M
sold tracts close to San Francisco
where the street work and other i'm
provements have all been completed
which is one reason for its popularity
There is no question that the PENN
sula hotel will be the center of the
most popular residential district OF
San Mateo and those who are fortunate
| enough to secure the choicest of the
remaining lots in Hayward park which
adjoins the hotel will enjoy profits to
| be expected from no other section in
| this vicinity.

 LUCKY ID WIN
(By United Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.--Stanley Ketchell was awarded the decision over Billy Papke yesterday afternoon after twenty rounds of the fastest and most furious fighting ever seen in this city. The decision of the ref cree was received with storm of hoots and jeers and at one time it looked as if riot would start at the ringside.
 Most of the spectators thought that Papke should have been given q draw at the worst and many of them believe that he was entitled to the decision. He was certainly stronger at the end of the fight.
 Ketchell went after Pa.'ke from the start in his usual hammer and tongs manner, but the Illinois Thun- derboldt gave him as good as he sent. The men mixed it at furious rate for the first five rounds and then both of them became slightly winded, although the entire fight was enlivened by vicious slugging matches and fast rallies.
 Ketchell broke his right hand in the sixth round by wild swing to Papke's head and dislocated his thumb in the eighth round by having a swing blocked by Papke's elbow
 The men have been matched to fight again in August. It was their fourth fight yesterday. Each man has knocked the other out and two encounters were practically draws.
 Both men weighed in at l5S pounds at II o'clock in the morning. Ihe betting was 10 to on Ketchell.
