ing will be an imposing structure, so
feet high, with a sandstone front, and
will seat close to 1000 people.
One of the special features will be
its dome shape interior, patterned after
the tabernacle in Salt Lake City, which
will give perfect acoustics There will
be a marquise over the sidewalk. One
of the stores will be used as premium
station for the theater and the other
will be used for the Offices of the COM
pany.
The merchants in Fillmore street
hope that the erection of this struc-
ture will be an incentive to others to
put up substantial fireproof buildings
that will reduce the present high rate
of fire insurance. Frank S. Holland is
the architect.

denfeldt of building to be erected by
her on her property in the southerly

pany, manufacturers of electrical nov
elites for period of eight years on

been designed by c. A Muesdorffer,
architect. The contract is let and work
is to be started at once.
The same firm also reports having
leased another building, which is to be
constructed in this district south of
Market street, the lease being for the
account of the w. J. Somers company
to the San Francisco art glass works,

BIG CONTRACTGOES
TOLOCAL CONCERN
Stanley Construction Company
Gets a Kuhn Project" in
Irrigation Work

The Sacramento Valley irrigation
company has let the contract for the
structure carrying the canal water un-
der Willows and Walker creeks to the
Stanley construction company of San
Francisco. Willows and Walker creeks
drain a large country, and it has been
deemed advisable by the company to
pass the water under the creek beds in
concrete culverts, and allow an unlim-
tied area way, for this drainage. 1t
would be possible to place gates in
the canal and allow the drainage water
to pass through it at a much smaller
expense, but in accordance with the
engineering practice Of all the Kuhn
projects" the question is so solved that
the water supplying the canal can in
no way be interfered with.
Every effort will be made to finish
this work before the beginning of the
fall rains Stanley has just completed
the United States government project
dam at Orland. He is now arranging
to haul his complete outfit to willows,
consisting of concrete mixers, excavat-
ing outfit, steam plant and pumping
equipment.

Here and there in the weeks market
was spot of resistance that gave hope
to the supporting influences that the
long continued liquidation had spent
itself. There have been fleeting evil
dences of sentiment shaping itself to
meet the repeated onslaughts, but un-
deniably the bears have continued in
control. The insiders do not look for
an immediate reaction.
Associated oil was stronger on a
large volume of sales. 1t held fairly
steady during the first part of the
week, but moved upward toward the
close to 451a. This stock has suffered
from the general downward tendency
in Wall street and furnishes illustra-
tion of the wide fiuctuation without
assignment of special cause Spring
Valley, which has maintained itself on
the general knowledge of the city s
desire to purchase, moved up on the
reiteration of this policy. At AS. how
ever, a big selling movement uniformly
develops and the stock eases. The
buying at this figure has been extern
sive during the last three months.
Holders are content with the 4 per cent
dividend pending the settlement of the
issue with the city for the sale of the
property.
Peoples Water and United Railroads
bonds were offered at lower figures in
the mid week, but gained somewhat
toward the close. Peoples Water bonds
were put out as low as 647s. There was
trading in United Railroads bonds at
81, but the end of the week saw the
quotation at'6SA.
OF special interest were the transac-
tions in Western Pacific fives and the
Ocean Shore bonds. The Western Pa
cific issue has attracted attention with
the completion of the road. The sales
recorded were at advanced prices at 80
and 95A. The ocean Shore bonds re-
f1ected slight decline. Lots were OBJ
tanned at 80, although they had been
held somewhat above this during the
recent difficulties.
There has been a measure OF en-
coura cement to the bond holders of the
road in the strong personnel of the
committee that has interested itself in
the fate of the line. There has been
further encouragement also in the de-
gree of success that is now attending
enterprises in some respects similar.
The case of the Northern electric
road is cited, which passed through a

HILLSIDE HOMES BUILT
NEAR MUIR WOODS

Hundreds OF. pedestrians go regularly
every Sunday to Mill Valley and take
the trail for Muir woods up over the
hills. Many of these nature lovers
this season have been selecting camp
sites in the vicinity of Mill Valley and
Muir woods for building cabins and
bungalows as summer homes.
There is little doubt that in a. few
years all these hillsides will be COM
pietely covered with picturesque homes
Of this sort. At the present time camp
sites can be had at exceedingly low
figures, some of them being offered as
low as a cent a square foot with the
hillside covered with redwoods, ma
drona. manzanita and all the riot of
California verdure.
Pretty new homes are peeping out
Of the woods at every turn in the
vicinity Of Muir woods. Some build
their camps out of the logs they cut
of their own land. Others buy portable
houses in San Francisco, have them
hauled up from Mill Valley and erected
on platforms already prepared Old
residents OF Mil Valley say they never
saw so much activity in camp building
as this season.

IMPROVEMENTS AND
SALES IN SUNSET

The Sunset sewer in Lincoln way
which is hailed as the great boon of
that district, is rapidly approaching
completion.
The ~Oceanside district sewer, now
being constructed at the rate of about
1,400 cubic yards per month, also means
a great deal to the residents, who have
long been deprived of that necessary
commodity. Sewering and street work
has been completed on Twenty-third
avenue between / and j streets and
the work on Twenty-fourth avenue
between H, I, ] and X streets is rap
idly being carried on.
An effort is being made by the own
ers and residents in the vicinity of
Twenty-fourth avenue, Sunset district,
to obtain permission and assistance
from the park commissioners to open
an entrance into the park from the lat
ter avenue.
Such entrance will be of considerable
benefit not only to the people residing
there, but also to owners of automo-
biles and vehicles, giving them an ex-
ira and more extensive and direct drive
from the south of and across the park
through Richmond district to the Pre-
sidio.

transactions this week:

The San Francisco call., 1910-07-30

One OF the things that most impresses
visitors 10 San Francisco is that it is
a city OF homes. There are probably
more people living in their own homes
IN this city than in any other metropo-
lis in this country.
This is regarded as one OF the rea-
sons for San Francisco's solidity, and
the cause of the civic pride which ami
mates all its citizens and always causes
them TO rally to any great cause for the
welfare Of the city.
The Call believes that it will be Of
interest 10 all Of its readers to hear
the experiences of home makers in get
ting their lots and building houses
during the last five or ten years.
OF course, one reason that so many
people have been able to obtain homes
in the city proper has been the COM
parative cheapness of land and the easy
terms on which it could be obtained.
The Call would like TO have thou
sands of home makers tell just how
they set about to acquire land as well
as build houses. Perhaps they bought
a lot on installments and secured a
loan from a bank or a building and
loan company to enable them to put UP
a house.
Practically all have found that their
home was the best investment they
ever made. and is now actually worth
so per cent more than it cost, perhaps
100 per cent more.
Some doubtless saved enough TO buy
a house and lot complete and ready to
move into. Others have secured homes
by paying a few hundred dollars down
for q house and lot and the balance
in monthly installments, which would
otherwise have been spent in rent
