A Startling Policy.
''The statement further flouts ia
pan openly by calling public atten-
ton to new and startling policy of
this Government, namely, that it is the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Germany which are the guardians
Of the territorial rights of China. It
points out in a way incapable ON mis-
understanding that it is the money of
the four great moneyed powers NAM
ed which is to control the destinies of
China.
THE logical conclusion of the neces-
sary corollary Of the Taft-Knox state
ment is that the Powers named by
the President are to control the des-
TIMES of the East and of the world.
Stated in the language of diplo-
mats, Japan has been asked to agree
TO the naturalization of the railways
of Manchuria.' Russia necessarily has
been asked to agree to the same pro-
position. 1t is to Russias interest
to agree because the agreement will
guarantee to her absolute safety for
her OWL railway projects, which are
menaced by Japan's aggressiveness in
Manchuria.
Is Very Optomistic.
"The State Department is optimis-
tic as to the outcome OF its grave
move on the international chessboard.
1t is true that Secretary Knox says
that Japan may agree, but he also
very shrewdly says that all he knows
at present about Japan's sympathy
with this movement is contained in
some unofficial sporadic Japanese
press reading matter.
B Secretary's Knox's note is built up
on historical facts. The most remark.
able of these is his official confirma-
ton of the story that President Taft
sent an ultimatum personally to the
Chinese Regent, Prince Chun, when
the latter was secretly violating the
agreement as to loans entered into be-
tween former United States Minister
Conger and China"

EASY MONEY WILL
HELP REAL ESTATE
Low Rate of Interest Should
Prove Beneficial to Busi=
ness During 1910
By GEORGE D. TOY.
Vice President of the San Francisco Real Estate
Board.

Vice President of the San Francisco Real Estate
Board.
At the opening of the year feature
of the situation is easy money. Those
who have capital are loaning a lower
rates of interest. One private indi-
vidual is offering money in considerable
sums for loan at 5 per cent net. l
heard yesterday of s1,00O,000 to loan
at that rate. The next thing that
posed change in the building laws, TO
permit property owners in certain sec
tions to put UP structures at a less
cost on % foot lots, with certain linn
itations concerning the height There
is some pressure to reduce the area of
the fire limits. especially on the hill
section, which would enable the own
ers to erect frame buildings of the
new class OF construction instead of
brick buildings. The building up of
that section will cause property in the
retail section to become more active
neighborhood trade. The proposed bond
issue OF $9,000.O0O for the seawall will
enhance the value of water front prop
erty The increased fire protection to
be provided by the new system and the
new fire alarm boxes which are now
being placed, with the rebuilding Of
firehouses on the old locations. Will
tend to reduce insurance rates and
thereby lessen the expenses of real
estate.
The constant investment of outside
capital in san Francisco properties is
an element in our progress The sums
invested already are considerable. The
movement in that direction is some
what spasmodic. but is none the less
Indicative Recently something like
s1Oo0.OO0 was paid by outsiders for
two pieces of property in a central
location This shows the interest of
outsiders in San Francisco real estate.
There is a continual increase in the
population that seems to be evident.
This tends to make demand for resi-
Dental property. There will be a
gradual movement for the purchase Of
realty in connection with rehabilita
ton. The city has shown its ability to
go on and it is showing greater vitality
than anybody formerly would have
supposed it possessed. All signs are
good for 1910. The prosperity of the
whole country is a large factor in de-
termining the rate Of our progress in
San Francisco, but easy money is the
main thing.

ALASKANS INVEST IN
SAN FRANCISCO REALTY
Mining Engineer Says Surplus
Gold Comes Here

Frank ". Gilchrist. 3 mining en-
Eineer who has been operating in the
vicinity Of Nome, Alaska. says that
approxima tely $500, GOO has been in
vested in san Francisco realty by
Alaskan capitalists during the year.
GiIehrist says that the farther he got
SWAY from San Francisco the greater
he found the interest in favor Of in
Vestments in this city.
Up in Alaska they are digging out
millions Of dollars worth OF gold q
year" said Gilchrist at the offices of
Baldwin e. Howell, "snd those who
have struck il are looking around with
an eye 20 an investment. Everywhere
you hear San Francisco mentioned 10
times to one mention of any other city
j figure that IN 1909 at least $500. .0eO
was put into San Francisco realty by
Alaska men and that during 1s1o-I1
and on up 10 1918 investments from
the soldfelds Of Alaska will increase
TO enormous proportions.
TT seems to be the consensus of
opinion everywhere that San Francisco
81 destined 70 become one OF the great
cities Of the world and that now is
the time 20 buy up property. No
shrewoer investors are 10 be found any
where than among the successful men
OF Alaska. and when they virtually con-
centrste their entire surplus capital in
san Francisco realty this city has re-
ceived an indorsement of powerful i'm

REALTY SALE TO BE
HELD BY BIG FIRM
Many Miscellaneous Properties
to Be Disposed OF

J. ". Wright & Co. announce their
initial sale for the new year for Tues
day, January II, at their salesrooms,
125-127 Sutter street, comprising a
catalogue of miscellaneous properties,
desiring to meet all classes of inquiry.
The sales will be continued under the
personal direction of Wendell Easton,
an oldtime authority on realty matters
and the auction business.
Easton expresses himself as being
we'll pleased at the results of their
recent sales, which confirms his opinion
that the market is ripe for this charac-
ter of offerings. The special results
which have been obtained of harmonic
ing ideas between sellers and purchas-
ers have been very gratifying and have
been exercising very beneficial effect
upon the entire market. i.
Owners of property in many instances
who are desirous of selling are willing
to meet what they think is a proper
market price. but for some time past
there has been no definite market price
upon which they could base their opin-
ion, and when it is found that certain
properties in certain locations are sold
for certain prices it comes very near
demonstrating the present value of the
property in that vicinity.
The recent sales and the prices OBJ
tanned at auction have also resulted in
a number of private sales by the firm.
where they have been able to talk to
sellers of property on some definite
line of what the property is worth.
Tt is proposed to hold these sales with
regularity. but not too often-only as
the condition OF the market would
seem to Justify.

BIDS ARE REJECTED

MESA. July 1s-At a meeting of the Grammar School board held Tues cay evening the bids for the construc- ton of the new grammar school house were opened, and after considering them all bids were rejected by the board. There were only two bids offered one from a Phoenix and the other from a Mesa man. The lowest bid was 313 750. and was given by Thomas Egan. and the other one was made by Frank Vance at 24,200. As the bonds that were voted were but $f9.000. the board found that the bids were more than they could stand, so it was ordered that the Board again advertise for bids. In another col umn of this paper will be found the Notice of Contractors calling for sealed bids to be sent to the secre- tary of the board before the 26th of this month.
 It was stated yesterday that the plans drawn up by W. F. Drew would be overhauled and some things cut out so as to reduce the cost of con struction. It is understood that two sooms will be left unfinished and a few other minor changes to be made.
