FIVE YEAR LEASE DEAL
FOR INCUBATOR DEPOT
Big Manufacturing Firm of 0ma-
ha Pleased with Los
Angeles Location

A deal has just been consummated
by Carleton B. Parsons, assisted by
Walter S. Mckee, between the Beacon
Lumber company and the George H.
Lee company of Omaha, Neb.. where
by the latter firm has taken a five
year lease on the premises owned by
the Beacon Lumber company, located
on the southwest corner of Alameda
and Fourteenth streets, at total rent
al of approximately $4,000. The prop
erty has a spur track from the South
ern Pacific railway, and there are sew
eral frame buildings, which will be
eventually enlarged as needed.
The George H. Lee company, manu-
facturers of incubators and chicken
supplies. having a large Pacific coast
trade, has foreseen the necessity of
opening a branch somewhere on the
coast, and has chosen Los Angeles as
the ideal place to handle it's western
trade. 1t already has an office and dis
play room at 225 West Second street,
and will use its new buildings in which
to build incubators and also as a dis
tributing point for it's stock sent on
from it's home office.

Development in the line of general
construction work in the city of Los
Angeles is remarkably we'll sustained,
despite unfavorable conditions that
may exist in other cities of the country.
Even the officials of the building de-
partment of the Angel city have about
stopped making guesses or estimates
on the future. Only a few days ago
it was predicted by those in close
touch. with the building department
that the total valuation of improve
ments in the city for the month of
September would be in the neighbor-
hood of $1,50O,000, which. it appears, is
far below what may be expected at
the end of the month
Figures submitted for September thus
far show that BIT permits have been
granted, authorizing improvements val
ued at S1,05O,9S5, as compared with 459
permits and $532,576 valuation for the
same period in the year 1909. These
figures are for only twelve business
days in September, as there were two
Sundays and two holidays intervening.
Analysis of the total figures show
that $491,753 was for the erection Of
business buildings, $45S,0S5 for the con-
struction of new homes in various
parts of the city, $4,000 for a new
church and the remainder for founda-
tions, alterations, barns, sheds, etc.
Indications are strong that the month

VALUE Of WALNUT CROP
1870 IS ABOUT 100000
Harvesting Is Now in Progress in
the Growing Districts
Fair Yield

1t is expected that the price of wal
nuts this season will hover around 13
cents a pound. Speaking OF the size
of the crop in Orange county the News
says:
Some of the walnut growers of Or
ange have begun harvesting their crop
and by another week the work will be-
gin in earnest. The walnut crop in
this county is worth about $780,
annually. The nuts have begun to
fall rapidly, free from the hulls and
fully three weeks earlier than two
years ago. The quality is good but
the yield per tree is lighter than last
year. The output of the county will
be about as last year, 100000 pounds,
the new orchards making up the de-
fictency caused by the lighter crop.
The present indications are that the
prices will be from 2 to cents per
pound better than last year. Every
variation of a cent means a difference
of about $4,000 to the growers of the
country. The California Walnut as
sociation last year set the price at
1112 cents per pound. They have not
named a figure for this year, but that
it will be higher is indicated by the
activity and prices quoted by indie
pendent buyers, who have offered as
high as 131A cents per pound for or
chard rum

ASK GOVERNMENT PERMISSION

Through the office of Captain Stokey
of the United States corps of engins
eers, Los Angeles, comes the informa-
tion that formal application has been
made for permission to build a pier
or wharf at Ocean Park, said pier or
wharf to be built westerly into the
ocean a distance Of about 500 feet and
to extend from the sotuherly line of
to extend from the southeriy line of
Navy street, a distance of about 240
feet. The northerly 200 feet of the pier
is to be used as a foundation for the
erection of a hotel building and the
southerly 40 feet to be used as a pier
for pedestrians.
This notable improvement, which
will place Ocean Park among the
queen city pleasure resorts of the en-
tire country, will be known as the A.
r. Fraser pier, on which will be ex-
pended more than $10,000,000.
In giving a detailed description of
the plans as drawn by the architects,
Eager & Eager, the Builder and Con-
tractor stated that one of the principal
features will be the magnificent en-
trance towers, 40 feet square and 120
feet in height one each at the en-
frances from Marine street and Pier
avenue They will be Illuminated by
a myriad of electric lights and will
have searchlight domes on the ex-
treme tops, and suspended IN the CEN
ter will be an American flag formed
by colored electric lights. The en-
frances open on magnificent court,
2OOx186 feet, from which the main en-
trance to the pier and scenic railway
is obtained. The court will be equipped
with electric fountains and for various
other electrical displays.
The main entrance to the pier is so

cessionary court covering an area 200x

into 65 booths, all of which will be
gorgeously decorated in keeping with
the other buildings.
Beyond the concessionary court Will
be an open area 220x2S0 feet, in the
center of which will be a four-story
building containing the revolving cafe,
probably the most unique of all the
attractions. The first floor will be

to well known Los Angeles Realty
company:
Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 49, 1910.
Balboa Island Realty Co., 305 Colum-
bia Trust Bldg, Los Angeles, CAL:
"Gentlemen-I want to take this
opportunity of thanking you for the
courtesy shown me at your offices after
1 was lucky enough to win the $500 lot
on Balboa Island Saturday, Septem-
ber 10. You furnished me with war
ranty deed without any hesitancy
whatever, and apparently 1t was a
pleasure for you to do SO.
"I was offered 5000 for the lot a
short time after won it, and thought
at first of accepting the offer, as I
have considerable other beach property
which is not so easily disposed of at
present. However, after talking the
matter over with my husband, I have
decided to hold it for a while.
81 was certainly surprised at the
wonderful surroundings and beauty of
Balboa island, and will surely advise
all my friends and any one else that
wishes an ideal summer home to locate
right there. You not only have the
ocean, but you have a grand bay with
the hills and bluffs back of it.
"It was after seeing your ad in the
Herald and other papers and talking
to friends of mine who were acquaint-
ed with the island that I was persuaded
to join the excursion, and 1 am now
satisfied that should I not decide to
build a home on this lot, it will easily
make a nice increase in value and
prove a fine investment on the basis
of a value of $500.
again thanking you for the favors
shown me, I am, Yours very truly,
