LOWER MARKET ST.
STORES IN DEMAND
Tenants Take Leases on Mac
donough Building While 1t
Is Under Construction

Market street is pre-eminently the
retail street of San Francisco. said
r. e. Fazackerley of Baldwin & Howell.
our experience is that anything Of
fered for retail business purposes in
this thoroughfare is rented more readi-
ly than others.
THE lower portion of Market street
is affording opportunities for retali
business which are very tavorarle.
When one considers that more than
10000 persons cross the bay daily TINS
naturally means a great many more
travellers in the lower section of Mar
ket street At almost any time of the
day YOU will find this street well trav-
eled from Kearny street east to the
ferry and a business bringing thor
oughfare.
Il can name several firms that have
adhered closely to lower Market street
as a business location and have done
well. One firm in the aluminium busi-
ness has been in this section of Mar
ket street for many years. Others IN
various lines have found that at store
rental of 5000 to $500 they can do
nice business and well in proportion
TO other locations where the rent is
considerably more.
Baldwin & Howell have just leased
for the Macdonough estate company all
of the stores in the new building In
course of construction at the north
west corner of Market and Front
streets. These leases range from five
to ten years at a total rental of nearly
$4,000. The store rentals range from
5000 TO $500, including easements. Loft
space has been rented at 1925 a floor.
..The stores are to be used for sta
tionery. vacuum cleaning agency, hard
ware, typewriter agency, jeweIry and
similar purposes.
"Adjoining the Macdonough estate
company building referred to Charles
Holbrook is about to erect a five story
and basement reinforced concrete build
ing. 1t will have frontage in Market
and Bush streets of 80 feet and will
be uniform in finish and height with
the Macdonough building. There will
be a number of small stores on the
lower floor OF the Holbrook building
and the upper floors will be partitioned
to loft space to suit tenants. There
have been a great many applications
for the stores and other space but in
this case. as with the Macdonough
building. leases will not be
signed by. the owners until the contract

of interest directed to peninsula prop
critics, and / anticipate great activity

These deals are considered to be IL
lustrative of movements in the realty
market in certain sections where the
values are high.
MANY BLOCKS LEVELED
The most extensive movement to
promote an entire section now in
progress is that under way in the sun
set and Oceanside districts. Before the
extensive grading operations in that
part of the city have been completed,
miles of frontage viii have been made
available for the building of homes,
stores and churches by the creation
of level blocks that have been simply
sand wastes from the time of the set
tlement of San Francisco until the
grading of II street set things in mo-
tion on a wholesale scale.
The hauling down of hills in that
neighborhood and the corresponding
filling up OF great hollows in a few
weeks, at low cost, is considered by
realty brokers to be significant of the
cheapness and speed with which site
for San Francisco'S coming exposition
may be leveled and made ready for the
exposition buildings. There is no other
city in the United States where similar
work could be accomplished as speedily
and for as little money as in san

FIGHT FOREST FIRES
TAFT Asked to Send Regulars
Into Northwest Woods by
Timber interests.

made for troops to protect national
forests in Montana and Idaho from
fires and to assist IL extinguishing

General Wood, chief Of staff OF the
army, has applied to President Taft
for an order authorizing the use of
soldiers for this purpose.
The appeal for the assistance of the
army in fighting forest fires was re-
ceived from the Western Pine Manu-
facturers' Association, which called
attention to the danger facing the
woodlands in Oregon, Montana, Idaho,
Washington, and California, and ask
ed that troops be dispatch at once to
cooperate with the forest service in
saving the timber.
Secretary Wilson of the department
OF agriculture, who is in the West, in
speeding forest reserves, has instruct

means TO check the flames, even
though it is necessary to incur a de-
felt In the money appropriated by con
gress to meet emergencies in the ma
tional forests.
Forest fires On the national forest
reserve in Western Montana and
Northern Idaho and on the private
lands within them already have
wrought damage amounting to nearly
100000, according to estimates made
by officials of the forest service. The
flames have burned over an area of
$4,000 acres.

be Of the greatest importance to many
OF the large industries Of the coun-
try.
It has reference to the long and

them from making a lower rate on

domestic consumption.
