ABUNDANT WATER
TO COVER ALL Land
Great Opportunities Awaiting
Those Who Will Develop Ir-
rigated Land in State

California has more water than she
purposes. Statistics from the United
States geographical survey show that
there are 45,160,OOO acres feet of water
available in this state today, or enough
to irrigate the 100000 acres of agri-
cultural land in California to a depth
of 38 inches, which is more than ample
for the growth of all crops.
The best. idea of the possibilities of
irrigated farm land business in the
west can be had by an examination of
the natural conditions, said j. E.
Green, manager of the wholesale farm
land department of Baldwin & Howell.
Figures show that there are approxi-
mately 100000 acres being watered
at the present time, which is less than
20 per cent of the irrigable acreage.
Good land can be bought for $40 or $40
an acre and there are probably TO-
100000 acres in the state that could be
had at an average of SIS. Under water
this land will bring an average of $50
an acre. This increase on 10000, 900
to realty values in this state and at
least s700.0o0,000 to the assessed val
ues, which figure an increase of S5 per
cent over the total assessed valuation
of $2.337.279.72o in 1909
What this, in itself. means to the
state is of wonderful import" added
Green. The additional revenue from
taxes alone will be tremendous fac
tor In CALIFORNIA; favor. but the great
est benefit will come from added prod
ucts of the soil and will be most notice
able in San Francisco, where bank
clearings and increasing realty values
will prove the Importance of the
metropolis and its dependence upon
the prosperity of the farmer.
What we need right now is about
half,a dozen big land companies with
millions of dollars and years of expert
ence, in colonization work. / see that
the Canadian projects are proving a
appointment and it may be that some
of the bigger people will turn to Cali
fornia. 1t takes nerve and experience to
handle this business, and some of the
shrewdest men in America are actively
engaged in it. They know land values
backward, and any owner of large
acreage who thinks he can hold them
up for fancy prices is going to get
badly left
Green is now in correspondence with
several of these concerns, one or two
of which have already sent their men
out to California to consult with him.

the day here was the report made FRI
day regarding three Japanese who came
from the direction of CaZadero the day.
after the date the crime is thought to
have been committed. These men en-
tered Guerneville barber shop and
each had his mustache shaved off and
his hair trimmed closely. This. may
have been done as a disguise.
- 1t is a common belief here that II
the Kendall family was murdered by
Japanese, which is the only theory in
the case, that several members of that
race were guilty of the crime. 1t is
not believed that one Japanese could
have slain three members of the family
alone.
For this reason much Importance is
attached to the tsory of the three men
having their mustaches removed, and
they may have been concerned in the
crime. This matter is being carefully
investigated, and lit is said the officers
have some promising clews.
Some Japanese who formerly spent
considerable time in the vicinity of
Cazadero have not been seen for many
DAYS past.

After devoting two days to an auto
mobile trip covering the entire PENN
sular territory as far south as Palo
Alto, j. P. Alvord, a well known Ill
inois land operator, has concluded that
the greatest opportunities for realty
advancement now existing in the state
are to, be obtained between San Mateo
and Palo Alto.
Alvord recently visited the offices of
Baldwin & Howell with the intention
of purchasing as a pure Investment,
some lots in Dingee park. He was
greatly enthused over peninsula pos
sibilities, particularly in and around
Redwood City, where he figures that
the activities will first be noticed.
Il arrived from Los Angeles a week
ago and came upon this peninsula prop
osition in a most unexpected manner"
said Alvord. In motoring to San
MateO | took run down to Red
wood simply out of curiousity. Ar
irving at Redwood 1 was simply dunn
founded at the possibilities of the place
and at the fact that the public had
not discovered the true conditions. They
have harbor there that some day
will make Redwood a city of 900
people. 1t is the first navigable har-
Dor south of San Francisco and I un-
derstand. before the railroad cut into
the country, was an important ship
ping point. The railroads have come
into line now, however. and with the
spur track facilities that have been
planned Redwood City will have the
facilities to command the attention of
the manufacturers all over the United
States.
The people of San Francisco do
not seem to realize this and 1 am sur
prised at the prices at which property
is offered. In DinSee Park | saw lots
at So a foot which, they tell me, can
be bought for from SIS down and $40 a
month. Small spectators ought to
jump at such an opportunity. 1, my
self, am going to get some, although
expect to return home and simply hold
my lots for investment"
Alvord stated he had been travelling
leisureiy across the country for three
months and that he found nothing in
the real estate line that interested
him as much as this property He is
one of the most successful operators
in the lake states and his enthusiasm
regarding speninsula possibilities is
backed by sound judgment.
San Francisco has a wonderful
future, continued Alvord, and her
residential population. as we'll as a
vast amount of her manufacturing and
business interests, must go down the
peninsula To my mind this develop
ment will come suddenly and with
great rapidity, at which time land own
ers will just as suddenly take grip
on their properties and refuse to sell.
leaving high and dry the SPECTATORS
who are watching conditions. expecting
to rush in and grab lots just before
the advance. I personally think the
waiting game is big mistake, and if
/ could arrange my affairs to be here
right along / would put all the money

Baldwin &c Howell are having a
steady call for Dingee park lots. and
report considerable activity from their

sen is in charge.
