PULLMAN PARK
TO BE OPENED
Latest Subdivision in Richmond
Immediately Adjoins the
New Shops

Baldwin G. Howell announce their in
tention of placing on the market the
Mulho1land and Chambers properties
adjoining the Pullman car shops near
Richmond
This Is regarded as one of the choic-
est pieces of unsold property in the
Pullman townsite, and the announce
ment OF the sale has created consider
able interest in realty circles.
The tract, which is called Pullman
park lies next to the the Pullman
works on the north, and although not
link in the development of Pullman, as
it is the logical location for the homes
of the employees of this organization.
The sale will start Sunday, October
30, and 1t is anticipated that at Least
$4,000 worth of lots will be sold the
opening day to residents OF Richmond
alone
I'VE expect to make a record when
We open up this tract" said J. e. Green
OF Baldwin & Howell. TT is the very
cream of Pullman properties 1t is
bounded on all sides by features thas
will make it valuable. On the south
adjoining are the Pullman works; on
the north adjoining is the city of Rich
mond and the Santa Fe, while on the
ncob lIOHlhBe is fuilD1An avenue, Win
its electric car lines to Oakland and
San Francisco and the Southern Pacific
railroad. We have never offered a tract
of this character so well located"
Green said that most of the lors
would be bought up for investment
and that many of the purchasers would
erect houses which would be rented or
sold to the Pullman employees.
The works will not be in operation
untiL>the first of the year." continued
Green. AT which time our present
buyers will have no trouble in making
resales.''
Pullman park will contain less than
800 lots, and although it is the last
Pullman subdivision to be offered, it
is one of the choicest
Farsighted spectators, who make a
study of such conditions, figure that
Pullman Will ultimately develop into
one of the largest manufacturing cities
on the coast. 1t follows that the his
tory of Pullman, ILL.,, will be repeated
at Pullman park.

GRAND TRUNK Is
NEAR COMPLETION
Most Northern Transcontinental
Line Opening Up Rich Coun-
try in British Columbia

British Columbia is now in a state
of expectancy. awaiting the completion
Of the Grand Trunk Pacific. This will
make the eighth great transcontinental
trunk line connecting the two oceans.
The railroad has been built eastward
from Prince Rupert to Fort Frazer,
about 800 miles, and is now In oper-
alton. The main line from the east
has reached the Rocky mountains west
OF Edmonton. There remains only a
gap of a few hundred miles to be
finished within year, when the most
northern transcontinental line will be
in operation.
J. c. Spaulding. San Francisco man
ager of the North Coast Land COM
pany. with Offices in the Mills building.
who recently returned from trip
along the new line, says:
THE Grand Trunk Pacific is build
ing the longest transcontinental rail-
road in the world-from Halifax on the
Atlantic TO Prince Rupert on the Pa
ciic-all under one control The new
city along this line which is geograph-
icalIy and commercially the center of
British Columbia is Fort George, an
old Hudson bay fur company's post, at
the center of the navigable river
courses 1t occupies the same relative
position as Spokane in the inland en-
pire. Several railroads are centering
here, and the city. now grown TO great
proportion, is destined TO be one of the
largest IN Canada. In and around Fort
George in the valleys of the Fraser
and the Nechacco are thousands of
acres OF fine level land, which the set
tiers are Gocking TO. Little clearing &
is needed. and it rains during the grow
ing season.
only few months ago the world
awoke 10 the fact that Edmonton, in
the province of Alberta, was on the
map, and that here was a chance to
get land at q low price, and thousands
went up into that country and bought,
and now the choicest acres are all ap-
propriated. Edmonton is city on the
Grand Trunk Pacific. about 400 miles to
the east of Fort George, and not nearly
so favored by nature, yet the early
ones made fortunes there, and today
its wide plains are covered with farms.
Alberta alone garnered 20,000,000 bush
els OF wheat in 1909.
Around Fort George is a finer coun-
Try, and better markets and history
IS even now repeating itself there.
1t is no wonder that the eyes OF
millions are now turned to central
British Columbia and the great Fort
George country"

LOT BUYERS soon
own THEIR HOMES
Conditions in Realty Market In
spire Purchasers to Build
Pretty Cottages

Lincoln Hackett, manager of the Fair
view terrace tract on the slope Of Twin
peaks, states that recent purchasers of
lots in that district are enthusiastic
over their new home sites and are
starting to build pretty cottages and
bungalows. r. G. Bruce, one of these
earnest home builders said:
This thing Of buying rent receipts
at SO much per month and stacking
them up year after year for half life
time, just for the silly privilege of say
ing that you live in the heart OF town,
is played out as far as L am concerned"
Imbued with this idea OF belated re-
form, Bruce took q trip to Fafrview
terrace and made a small payment. on
lot, securing immediate possession.
With a. few dollars he had on hand he
purchased the necessary lumber and
with the aid of a few friends began
building himself a home. While en-
gagged in this work one day this week
he said:
San Francisco looks awful good to
me. I'm here to stay. That big fair
we're going to have will cause some of
those chronic rent receipt buyers to sit
UP and take notice. I'll have this house
and lot paid for by 1915, then goodby to
the landlord forever.
This bit of ground is to be my wife's
flower garden and here I'm going to
raise green vegetables and some ber-
ries. Look at this soil. All that stuff
wants is planting. This bit here is for
chickens. And last and most important
of all, look at those children. No more
crowded city streets for them. Why,
they're just as happy and frisky as a
pair of colts, racing about in this beau
tiful clear air."
The foregoing is but an everyday
occurrence among our home buyers"
said Lincoln Hackett. The time is
right now IL one is ever going to make
an attempt to forestall the inevitable
scarcity of accommodations, high rents
and lack of opportunity to buy later

EXTENDING LARGE
IRRIGATION system
Construction Work Will Be Com
tinued on Canals at Made
lene Meadows

During the summer continuous and
rapid development was accomplished
in the large irrigation scheme at Mad
cline Meadows. Four construction
camps are now in operation, three
under contract by the Contra Costa
construction company and one by the
Madeline Meadows company. One
canal 40 feet wide has been extended
down the valley for II miles.
The West Hillside canal has been
extended six miles, the greater por-
tion being rock work. A new con-
tract will be let soon for the enlarge
ment of the North Hillside for a
farther seven miles. This canal will
be 80 feet wide. and mostly in rock.
1t can be constructed during the win
ter, which will give we'll paid work
to settlers at a time when they are
not busy with their farms.
Two of the Madeline Meadows COM
pany's reservoirs are being enlarged,
as at present In a year of ordinary
rainfall, considerable water goes TO
waste. This wastage will be safe
guarded and utilized for irrigation.
When this company's land is all un-
der irrigation it will have a reser-
voir capacity for more than 125, 900
acre feet of water, and as one acre
foot of water is an ample supply In
that locality, the Madeline Meadows
company will always have an abund-
ant supply of water in reservoir for
their 10000 acres.
