SAN DIEGO'S GROWTH.
Progress of Plans for the Panama.
California Exposition in 1915.

The city of San Diego plans to. hold

January l the San Diego Union. pioneer
newspaper of southern California. issued

it calls 1.-THE Exposition Number Much
space is given to the subject of the de-
velopment and prospects of San Diego.
One of the notable events in the recent
history of San Diego was the beginning

the United States near Yuma, and con-
Meeting there with east-bound roads, Will
realize San Diego's long-deferred hope
of direct steam railroad to eastern mar

The second notable event i'll San Dlego's
old year was the authorization by the
electors Of an issue of 81, 300 600 In bonds
for the construction of $50 miles of good
roads In the county.
In the matter of the coming exposition
the Union says:
one quite typical of southern California
enterprise--that the completion Of the
waterway from ocean to ocean will be an
event worthy of a great celebration, and

that celebration be held more appro-
priate'y than at San Diego, the first
American port at which vessels passing
through the canal into the Pacific ocean
will cail-the nearest port, too. through
which shipments via the canal may be
made from this coast to the Atlantic sea-
board. To have such celebration at San
Diego Will also be especially fitting. be-
cause through it's location 1t is likely to
profit direct y oy thu opening of the new
avenue OF commerce more than will any
other Pacific seaport
The exposition idea originated with the
San Diego Chamber of Commerce. An
exposition company WIS formed and char
tered by the state. L. S. Grant, IT.. was
chosen president No outside pecuniary
aid was sought, but members OF the di-
rectorate visited other cities, going as far
north rs Puget sound, and obtained prom
ises OF hearty cooperation from many
strong commercial bodies of the Pacific
coast. The visiting commissioners from
Japan, who included San Diego in their
itinerary, voluntarily pledged the support
Of the several Japanese chambers of conf

visit San Diego I'm 1915 to attend the ex-
position. The people of San Diego county

Recent Large Transactions.
Some large recent transactions have
attracted d good deal of attention not
only among property holders. but also
among what is apparently an increasing
class, namely. investors. II is quite evil
dent from the course of the investment
market, and that is where the recent
buying belongs, that city property is al
tracing more and more the notice of
those who have money waiting for a
profitable opportunity.
The purchase by Mr.. Lisner OF a piece
OF property adjoining on the east the
building occupied by his business was.
of course, in the line of providing needed
room for growing enterprise. On the
opposite corner the transfer of the hotel
property located there will result In
changes and improvements to the build
ing in order that IL may yield q better
return upon the value of the property.
AT the same time a transfer was placed
on record of the Bond building, used for
office purposes, to company that was
formed for the purpose OF holding IT, In
all these cases the figures used i'm stat
ing the consideration are much beyond
the values affixed few years ago, all
Of which goes to show that business

Indicate Coming of New Firms.
COURTHOUSE,

4 couple of property transactions re-
Gently concluded have given new force
to the talk relative to the advance OF
business along such a thorouGhfare as
Connecticut avenue and the probable du-
ration and extent of the movement-tnat
is. at least. In it's more active phases.
II lis not meant to be implied that there
is anything particularly new In the
changes which have taken place or are
contemplated which have turned or will
turn resident property into business uses.
What is happening with property there
began some years ago
The only question that is IN doubt is
as the extent OF the extension of the
eomme rcial aspect of the avenue to the
north. and into what is looked upon as
one of the best resident sections In the
city. Some have thought that the north
ern terminus would be at NJ street or
Rhode Island avenue, basing this theory
not only upon the apparent pause III =tne
progress of business uses. but also upon
the nature of the ground. Tor 81 that
point the line Of 18th street enters into
the broad width of Connecticut avenue
and forms a plaza. which is in part &C.
cupied by one of those triangular pltS OF
parks that are at once the ornament
of the city and the delight of strangers,
who seem to appreciate the surprise of
such an encounter amid the hard pave
ments Of city streets.
Property Acquired.
At any rate. for whatever rea son, NJ
street has been the northern boundary
of the business progress UP Connecticut
avenue, which has been stayed within
two blocks of Dupont Circle. During the
part few months. however, changes have
taken place in the case of three pieces
of property in the block between NJ and
y streets. which indicates that the line
must be shifted still farther to the north.
Two pieces of property there have lately
been purchased by James NJ johnston
one at the southwest corner OF Connectl-
cut avenue ard Jefferson place. 1t Is
proposed TO change the residence located
there into a building suitable for business
purposes.
The same investor has also acquired
the property across the street. and num-
bered 1917 Connecticut avenue. which Is
still in use as private residence. while
a little farther along the house 1913
Connecticut avenue, recently purchased
by Walter T'uckerman, is to be remod-
cled for this general use 1t has been
supposed that the width of the street be-
tween NJ and y streets, with the two
triangular parks-one just opposite the
Church OF the Covenant. near N street.
and the other near NJ street, and in both
cases now just further ornamented by
the erection of the Ilongfeilow and the
Nitherspoon statutes-would interfere
fare. On the other hand. 1t has been
believed for long time by those who
try TO keep posted relative to the real
estate market and the prospects Of prop
the avenue would not be stopped by a
plaza with parks

'of street car lines. is still cllaractcris-
tic. In what might be termed the
principal trade center, the heart OF it,
the present tendency has been to broaden
out so that streets that are off from the
car lines, but are feeders for the prin-
cipal thOroughfares. have come into Use
to provide space for an expanding bust
ness.
Beyond the main business center it is
quite evident the growth of the re-
tail business of the city is still along the
lines of car tracks, so that there are long
arms stretching out far as the tide of
population has gone. There is no doubt
about the enlargement of the area of the
city devoted to commerce and trade, and
1t is also true that its volume has
grown as we'll as the amount of the cap
ital invested. The changes that have
taken place even within such e period as
the last decade are quite as marvellous
as those that are reflected by the move
ments in realty and the upward course
in values.
The merchants of today carry on bust
ness with larger and more varied scope
and with greater capital than ever before,
and their places of business show it. 1t
Is now said of Washington stores that
their shopping facilities are not exceeded
by any city in the country. There is no
doubt that at this time there is less heard
Of people going to otner cities to shop
than was formerly the case. In fact ii
Is not uncommon for women in such
place as New York city to visit the shops
and see the varied styles as displayed
and then return to their homes in this
city and to the stores where they find
they can get things just as cheaply and
with more satisfaction.
Increase of Population.
1t is not surprising that the develop
ment of the business facilities of the CITY
point not only to the increase I'm the popu-
lation, but also to the increase in wealth
of the community. There Is also the fea-
ture Of the growing permanency In the
population. for while there is number
of residents here who are for the most
part only temporary. still they are less a
factor than ever before. It is also likely
the summer exodus habit will continue
and that to a certain extent this city will
be a sort of winter resort
At the same time one fact OF great sig
nificance OF comparatively recent appear
ance in the life Of the city is the growth
| in the number Of the home owners.
| Houses that are built for the market are
sold, not rented. and there is, perhaps.
no change OF more vital Importance to
the well being of the city than in this one
particular Washington is now city Of
homes, but what is. more important still
| city OF home owners. The growth in
| the numbers of the latter class has been
| specially great within quite recent years
what influence the great increase in
home owners will have on molding and
directing the life of the city remains yet
| to be seen. but 1t is quite evident that
| whatever comes from such source will
| be substantial and enduring.
