This magnificent property has re-

divided and be developed into a mag

Not the least OF its many attractions
IS the great abundance of pure spring
water emansting from many springs
on the hillSides. This ranch has for
years been famous for it's rich sedi-
ment soil. Nearly half of the entire
ranch IS subirrigated and the several
orchards and vineyards on the property
demonstrate the wonderful productive

Dingee Park at Redwood City is an
other new district that is vying with
the other peninsula communities in
beautiful home building and garden
making. So it is at every turn down
the peninsula.
A person would have to be phleg-
matte indeed who did not feel heart
throbs of civic pride when surveying
these garden spots at San Francisco s
gateways, and rejecting that these are
the districts that viii shortly make this
city of million. Moreover, these in
comparable suburbs will carry San
Francisco's fame abroad as the most
beautiful city in America.
In the meantime, while things are in
the aking, lies the opportunity for
every family in San Francisco to be-
come possessor of a pretty home in

famous Smell ranch, owned by the es-

MORTGAGE FILED

One of the largest mortgages ever
put on record in San Francisco was
filed by the Southern Pacific company
Wednesday. The amount. S50,000,000,
was equaled by the Western Pacifc's
first mortgage and was exceeded by
the Southern Pacihc's general mort
gage, but those mortgages We're mostly
levied on railroad property outside of
San Francisco.
The recent mortgage to secure the
forthcoming issue of terminal bonds
us notable because it is placed very
largely on San Francisco real estate.
II covers 135 separate parcels of land,
scattered from North beach to Vista
tion valley and southwark.
It is estimated that this real estate
has a value of somewhere around s1o.-
100000. The mortg gage also includes
the Bay Shore cutoff railroad, the tun-
neis alone along this line having cost
about s1o.O0O.oo0.
This mortgage covers for the most
part land acquired five to ten years
ago. 1t does not include the land
acquired recently in the neighborhood
of Market and East streets and in the
neighborhood of Stewart, Beale, How
ard, Mission and Folsom streets.
These were nearly all blind pur-
chases and apparently the railroad COM
pany still wishes to conceal its hand
in regard to the ownership of land
and its intentions about a terminal
site in this vicinity.
The detailed description in the mort
gage covers land on North Point
and Polk streets, Polk and Beach
streets, three blocks at Beach, Jones,
Montgomery avenue and Leavenworth
streets; the northeast of Front and
Broadway; the southwest of Broadway
and Davis street; large holdings at
Townsend, Brannan, Berry Fifth,
Sixth, Channel, Irwin, Seventh and
across the railroad yards south of
Channel street, and numerous blocks
near Islais creek channel in the Po-
trero, at Army and Tulare and ada
cent streets, and the lands at Vista
cion, where the company is erecting
it's shops.
There have been few other large
mortgages filed this week. One loan
of $3.50, 900 to Mary C. Fallon by the
Hibernia savings and loan society, on
land in Ellis, Leavenworth, Fell and
Buchanan streets, is a renewal at % "a
per cent. The same company made a
loan of s19.515 to David Hewes on
the Hewes building at SIX per cent
for one year.
There has been very little lending
of late by the banks for erecting
buildings, for speculation or prospect
i've rental.
Most of the building loans made
have been in small amounts to assist
clients in home building in the suburbs
of the city proper. The banks show
a disposition to help along in this line
as much as possible.
