LARGE LOAN MADE
FOR A new HOTEL
D. Meyer Advances 100000 to
Davies Estate for Hostelry
at Kearny and Suffer

One of the largest loans Of the year
was completed through the office of
Harrigan, Weidenmuller & Rosenstirn
for the ]. 2. Davies estate, owner of the
lot on the southeast corner of Kearny
and Sutter streets, known as the Thur
low block, having a frontage in the
former street of 1926 feet by a depth
of 97:6, and a similar frontage in Yer
Mshr place.
The loan, which was for $500, ,000
was secured from Daniel Meyer on pri-
vate terms. The securing Of this money
will enable the Davis estate to start
construction Immediately of class A
eight story hotel building, which Harri-
gan. Weidenmuller & Rosenstirn report
has been leased for term of 10 years
at total rental of $4,000.
There has long been a need for a
first class hotel in this location to take
the place of those famous old hostel
ries, the Occidental and Lick.
1t Is interesting to know that this
money was secured locally, and goes
long way to prove that the financial
condition of this city is on a firm basis.
These agents report that this loan is
but one OF many large ones made by
Daniel Meyer, the banker, who has done
much toward improving the city of San
Francisco by lending money for i'm
provement purposes. Some of the large
loans made by him are: S275.000 to the
Hobart estate, 100000 to the Younger
estate $175,000 to the Shields estate.
[. B. Button, the architect, reports
that the building will cost in the neigh
borhod of S350,00. The steel for it is
now on the way from the east. and the
building is expected to be ready for
occupancy by October 1, 1911.
Another good sized building loan
made this week was for $4,000 by the
German savings bank to the G. G. Bur-
nett estate company. It Is for erecting
a store and apartment building at the
southwest corner Of Turk and Larkin
streets
The Hibernia savings bank advanced
100000 to Mrs. Phebe A. Hearst for
the building now in process of con-
struction at Third and Market streets.
This bank is loaning upward of $780,
600 on the property.
The 100000 loaned by the Savings
Union to Antoine Coolures on the Ask
122 foot property in the north line of
Clay street, 1876 east of Montgomery,
was partly a. renewal and the remainder
for rebuilding and improving the prop
erty
The Hibernia savings loan of $4,000
to Josiah r. Howell on property at
Twelfth and Howard streets was a re-
newa1.
The Hibernias $4,000 loan to Jere-
miah Lynch is straight loan for one
year at 5'1a per cent on the 65x137:6
property in the south side of Bush
street, 240 feet east of Grant avenue.
Harry Herschberg loaned $4,000 to
Maurice Rosenthal on the 58x127 foot
irregular property in the north side of
Jackson street, 56:S feet east of Brod-
erick, for two years at 6 per cent. \
The German savings made a straight
loan of $4,000 to Arthur r. Fredericks
on the 35x102 foot improved property
at the northeast corner of Clay and
Webster streets. The $4,000 loan by
the same bank to George M. Ahrens
on lot 69x71 feet at the east corner Of
Harrison and First streets, 69x71, was
a renewal.

GRAND TRUNK TO
OPEN RICH field
Railroad Will Run Through the
finland Empire" of Brit
ish Columbia

British Columbia's growth during
the coming year is going to be the mar
vel of the Pacific coast" says J. c.
Spaulding local manager of the North
Coast land company, with offices in the
Mills building.
San Francisco has not fully awak-
ened to the Importance of the great in
terror country that the Grand Trunk
Pacific will open up for trade and de-
velopment. The merchants and invest
ors of this city can get the benefit of
1t if they go after it.
For this ignorance there Is some ex-
cuse. British Columbia is province Of
vast area. It is larger than any state
in the union, or than any other Can
adian province. Unlike Texas, the larg-
est of the American states. 1t is a
mountainous country. The Rockies and
the Cascades, the twin backbone of the
west side of North America, run
through It's entire length. There are
many spurs and lesser cross ranges in
tersecting the territory between these
two mountain systems. Thousands of
square miles of the province are COW
cred with heavy timber-the largest
and richest timber as yet uncut IN
North America. There are many streams
running down the broad grassy valleys,

"It was the coming of the G. T. p,
and the publication of statements by
men who had been over the route that
opened mems eyes to the fact that three
or four hundred miles north of the
main line of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way there was another undeveloped
empire of illimitable natural wealth.
"Since these facts began to filter into

tha they have a rich heritage in what
inland empire
territory resembles the inland en-
which Spokane is the center. Like its
mountains on either side. These prac-
tically enclose it and shut 1t in.
Gold Is found in abundance. The
placer mines of the Cariboo were the
richest ever discovered, and, though
partly abandoned after the big rush of
the sixties, they have never ceased to
be worked, and big and steady money
is being every year washed out of the
gravels of these streams.
But in the long run the agricultural
resources of this region will outweigh
all others. and afford the basis of a
great commerce San Franciscans and
Californians in general ought to be on
hand to grasp the opportunities offered
in this new. field
