10000 ACRES OF LAND
SOLD WITHIN 10 MONTHS
What a Local Realty Firm Has
Accomplished with In
veSting Public

One of the firms which has made an
unqualified success in the land business
in Los Angeles is the w. H. Macomber
company, with offices in the Laughlin
building. This firm has sold over $4,000
acres of land since January 1, 1910, and
over 5000 acres since November 1.
The firm deals in nothing but cheap
lands for investors, working on sales
only, and letting the other fellow work
the exchanges. Although they handle
cheap lands in several districts, they
make a speciality of the Colorado river
lands These lands in San Bernardino,
Riverside and Imperial counties are
among the richest in the state. The
soil is silt and sandy loan, with prac-
tically no alkali or hardpan. The soil
will grow the greatest variety of crops
the year round, as frosts are almost un-
known in these sections. Water can be
found in abundance at fourteen to thir4
ty-five feet, but before long these lands
will be under the Chuckwalla Develop
ment company's ditch from the Colora-
do river. The new Parker cutoff Of
the Santa Fe runs through the center
of this rich valley.
The success of the cotton growers in
the Imperial valley Is calling national
attention to the Colorado river section,
and Mr.. Macomber reports several good
sales as the result of the active interest
being taken in this district as offering
an unusual opportunity for live invest
ments.

Decided Improvement in the Los
Angeles Realty Market
Is Shown
THREE SALES TOTAL $4,000
Syndicate Cleans Up $12,500 on
Hough Block on Broad
way in a Year
THREE SALES TOTAL $4,000

Marked evidence of the improved
condition in the Los Angeles realty
market was shown during the past
week by several important deals, in
volving a total consideration of $122,OO0,
negotiated by w. B. Merwin & Co.
The first transaction was the sale of
the Hough block, on the west side
of Broadway, between First and Sec
ond streets, by a local syndicate to w.
]. Lawless for $50, 800. The lot is 40x115
feet to a thirty-foot court, improved
with a three-st,ry brick building. A
year ago the property was sold by the
University of Southern California to
the syndicate for 10000, through Mer-
win e. Co. In the $S2,500 deal K. M.
Ham represented Mr.. Lawless, who
made the purchase as an investment.
w. B. Merwin &s Co. also report the
sale of two lots on the south side OF
West Third street, between Hope and
Flower streets, as follows.
Henry Wildey to l. I. Reid, lot 40
by 120 feet, improved with one-story
brick building; price $4,000.
Louis Kleinpeter to H. H. Cotton,
lot ?91hx120 feet, improved with
one-story frame; price $1S,50O. The
property is located about three min
utes' walk from the business center.
H. H. Cotton contemplates erecting
a three-story building in the near
future on his property.

VALLEY APPLE
TREES PROLIFIC IN COLD
Big Rock Region Said to Be Ideal
Location for Large
Orchards

Big Rock is a prolific apple growing
section in the Antelope valley, accord
ing to the Ledger, which states that
every week recently J. Mathis, who has
earned the title of apple king, has
been in Antelope with big loads of ap-
pies labeled "superfne."
Antelope valley, and especially the
Big Rock territory, seems to be better
adapted for the growth and successful
production of apples than any other
section of Southern California. The
altitude, the summer heat and the
winter frost and rain are a combina-
tion that gives the fruit a rich flavor
and a splendid color. And our apples
are commanding the highest price on
the market. The price for our local
apples is even higher than the price
paid to the famous Watsonville grow
ers. The market at Los Angeles alb
also the products of oregon and Colo
RADIO.
Among the winter apples which do
the best in this locality are the fol-
lowing: The Ben Davis, which are the
heaviest and most consistent bearer
known; Arkansas Black, a beaut1ful
deep red-black; Rome Beauty, also
very high priced; Stayman's Winesap,
Yellow Newton Pippin and the White
Winter Pearmain. These two last va
rieties are solid green and turn to a
wonderful color when ripe.
AS the mountain grower can grow
a red apple so successfully on account
of the continued sun at his command,
it is found better not to grow a green
apple here, as the green Mountain
Pippin and Pearnnain come into COM
petition with the green apples from the
fog belts AS the fog belts cannot
grow good red apple, the mountain
grower will find it a great deal more
advantageous to raise a red apple
which cannot be competed with. All
the above mentioned winter apples
come in at the same time, or within
week or so of one another. They
can therefore be picked, harvested and
marketed all within a few weeks. APP
pie culture needs care and study just
as much as any other line of CONNER
cial activity, and only the careful
painstaking grower, who combines MS
common sense and the new sc1entlhc
methods used by all up-to-date or
chardfsts, need hope to succeed.

YUCA|PA VALLEY IS
DEVELOPING RAPIDLY
100 Acres to Be Planted to Ap-
piles, Cherries and Pears
by a Corporation

The men behind the land company
have commenced negotiations for the
planting of 100 acres of land to decid-
uous fruits, to meet the demands for
growing orchards in the Yucaipa val
ley The land is situated in the middle
bench of the valley and is convenient
to the proposed electric line from Red
lands. The property is also located on
the line of the main system of the
water company, the pipe for which
is now being laid toward this land.
The property is in itself first class,
being of a smooth, easily workable
surface. The planting will be so ar
ranged that purchasers will be able to
secure growing orchards, with just the
selection of fruits that they may wish.
The contract for the construction of
the 10000, 600 gallon reservoir of the
Redlands and Yucaipa Land company
has been let to the F. w Hewitt com
pany of Los Angeles. Under the terms
submitted by the contracting company
it will have the entire work to be done
on the reservoir, the cement core wall,
the excavating and the embankment
of the retaining wall. For this work
1t will have the use of the large steam
shovel recently purchased by the land
company. Pipe laying on the COM
panys subdivision No. 1 is now going
on with great speed. The average
days work on the lines now amounts
to laying quarter Of a mile of pipe
a day. Prospective buyers are looking
over the valley daily, and judging
from the number of recent sales it is
estimated that all of the choicest hold
ings adjoining Yucaipa City will be
sold by the first of the year.
Sales to the amount of $23722. so
were made to the following persons
in the past ten days: A. G. Walker,
block 8, eleven acres, $2750; E. G.
Cram, blocks and 9, twenty-one
acres, $2360; H. M. Seeley. blocks 1873

BIG FACTOR IN cITY's GROWTH
Climate, Building Activity, Great
Public Enterprises and
Natural Resources

Four potent factors have contributed
to the sensational growth of Los An
geles in population during the past ten
years-from 1O2,479 in 1900 to S19,19S In
1910, record breaking gain of 211b00-
factors which include California's in
comparabl BILE climate, tremendous build
ing activity approximating $4,000, 600 In
valuation for one year; gigantic de-
velopment propositions, including COM
pletion of the owens river aqueduct at
a cost of $25,000,000; harbor fortifica-
tions and improvements; millions pro-
duced from the richest soil of the
world; vast wealth in oil and mines;
and the additional influence which may
be described as unlimited opportuni-
ties existing for the accumulation OF
wealth by wise investments and earnest
work, guided by the application of in
telligence.
Other cities of the country have ex-
perienced dull periods in the building
line. Confidence in the future OF Los
Angeles has always been at high ten
sion. Persistent claims of rapid In
crease in population. have been no idle
boast, as is proved by the 1910 count
319,19S And many more thousands of
people are on their way to Los Ange-
les to buy lots and build homes.
Los Angeles will continue to build
by the mile" to provide shelter for the
half million soon to be with us.
The past monhs have averaged more
than S1,500, 900 In valuation in building,
and the month of November will round
out with similar total, as applications
are now on file in the office of the
chief inspector for permits involving
large amounts.
