been made in both the wholesale and
retail sections. Large deals are pend
ing that the brokers are not at liberty

Architects announce plans for the
erection of large apartment houses and

porary buildings at important corners
near the foot of Market street are in
the hands of the wreckers and will be
replaced with fine structures.
Another sign of the market con-
ditions. which are continually better
ing, is the return TO the brokerage line
of men who have been following other
pursuits for period, who now have
decided that the real estate business is
bound to forge ahead. This is the view
that mas been taken for some time by
the most conservative men in the brok-
erage business. Various dates have
been fixed. in opinion of leading men.

of activity shall be reached once more.

the near approach of the opening of the
keystone apartments. which may be

HEAVY SALES REPORTED
IN SCHWERIN ADDITION
Work on Railroad Shops Adds
Value to Property

W. z. Stanford & Co. report the sale
of % lots during the last week in the
Schwerin addition. The resumption OF
building operations on the Southern
Pacific shops and the completion Of the
carline from Geneva avenue to San
Bruno avenue at Mission street are
causing the present activity. Most OF
the lots have been sold 70 ihome buyers.
although many Of the Walbridge street
lots were sold TO businessmen It is
not generally known that Walbridge
street is the widest street in San Fran
cisco. and as il is the only outlet from
the bay shore district TO Mission street
this street is destined to become an i'm
portant business thoroughfare.
The site of the Southern Pacific shops
now presents a busy appearance. build

before long thousands Of wOrkmen will
be compelled to make their homes in

der consideration in the offices of local
architects and builders.
The beginning of the year has nat
urally brought about an organization
OF various activities which will play
their part in the succeeding j months
in the prosperity of. San Francisco:
The district Improvement clubs in all
parts of san Francisco are electing
officers and laying their plans TO secure
such improvements as are needed in
the neighborhood
A combination among the three pro-
motion bodies in san Francisco is one
OF the signs of the times in connection
with the promotion of the real estate
interests of the interior of the state
and the bringing into the state of new
financial resources.
There is a probability that the AS
sociated Chambers of Commerce of the
Pacific coast, which represent all the
Puget sound cities, Portland, Los An
geles. Oakland and San Francisco will
combine to promote the international
exposition to be held in his city to
commemorate the opening of the Pana-
ma canal If the insurance rates in
San Francisco continue to be regarded
as excessive it IS extremely probable
that a concerted move viii be made TO
secure reductions.
PARK SECTIONS ACTIVE
Attention has been attracted to the
briskness of real estate on both sides
of the park in the Sunset and Rich
mond districts. The opening of a new
line in d or Fulton street from the old
terminus near the yacht lake to the
ocean has had the expected effect of
stimulating inquiries in many blocks
of land which command ocean views,
and which look directly down on a
large part of Golden Gate park from

coming better appreciated. and brokers
and contractors alike report that bust
ness promises TO be very much brisker
in that part of the city than il has
been at any preceding time.
Several transactions in the last week
are of sufficient importance to call at
tention to them in this weekly review.
Through the agency of Shainwald,
Buckbee & Co. 7. Mensor has bought
the northwest corner of Pine and Leav-
enworth streets from the Cowell es-
tate. The size of the ground is 95 by
1I3 feet. The price is reported TO have
been about s35 900. The property is
well situated. as the northeast corner

GREAT ACTIVITY IN
SUNSET DISTRICT
Drifting Sand Dunes Rapidly
Turned Into Beautiful
Home Sites


Great activity prevails in the Sunset
district, especially that portion between
Twentieth and Twenty-ffth avenues
and II and X streets, about 100 teams
with scrapers and dump cars being
employed leveling this large area of
sand dunes, opening, macadamizing.
bituminizing and sewering the streets.
This rapid change from drifting sand
hills to beautiful home sites will not
alone be of inestimabIe value to the
property owners in that section. but to
the city as well. as through the enter
prise of the owners causing these i'm
provements the city will gain a great
deal in taxes. The new officials are ex-
pected TO reciprocate by granting
necessary concessions and Immediately
installing electric lights, etc.
Sol Getz & Sons, who have bought a
large tract of land in the Sunset and
Oceanside districts, are expending con-
siderable sums in grading their lands
and surrounding streets. which they
will subdivide into building lots, max
ing it possible to secure homes on easy
payments.

Austrian and Italian statesmen want no
war. Both are driven to arm by his
torical forces which are infinitely stronger
than their good intentions. To conceal
this disagreeable fact they parade the
touching comedy Of Austro-Italian love
and affection as partners in the triple
alliance Thus Marquis di San Giuliano.

relations were cordial At one time, 1t
was mildly admitted, there had been fric-

to Saloniki, and Italy Of Selling Albania.
But the regenerated Turkey of today
has made those old aims impracticable
and Italy and Austria, therefore. have no
further cause for quarrels. So say ,-.e

statements are flying around come the
news Of fresh Austrian ornaments. Of

fierce polemics between the Italian and
