PREDICTS GREAT
FUTURE FOR CITY
Rapid Growth Indicates Oakland
VIII Lead Coast in Year,
Says A. j. Snyder
Bv A. I. SNYDER

The unusual and rapid growth Of
Oakland during the last two years,
with the plans now under way for new
buildings. as Wen as proposed munich
pal and federal improvements, are
strong indications that Oakland in a
year or two more viii outstrip any
other city on the Pacific coast as a
commercial and residential center.
Twenty years ago all that property
in the district between Thirty eighth
street and the Berkeley line was ex-
clusiEely devoted to truck farms and
pasture land. The present population
Of this particular district alone is now
greater than the population of the
entire city in 1890. and the value OF
the present improvement represents
more than the wealth of the entire city
a little more than 20 years ago.
The same condition existed in the
eastern part Of the city in sections that
are now completely built up with
thousands Of homes and with street
work of the highest possible order.
This remarkable growth of the popu-
latiOn in the residential district has
had its natural effect on the CONNER
Sial and business centers. Within the
last few years Broadway realty values
even now values are far below those
of other cities of equal population or
where similar volume of business is
ira ansacted.
Broadway property now selling for
$4,000 4 foot. If properly built upon
say six stories or more-will net the
owner easily or per cent per an
mum. and in the last few months there
has developed a feeling among the
Weather realty owners that the pres
ent retail district viii expand both east
and west OF Broadway. This feeling,
strengthened by the steady increase in
the volume Of business in the retail
districts and the new buildings about
70 he erected by our leading merchants.
has led To some very heavy real estate
purchases in Twelfth. Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets. both east and west
Of Broadway. I predict that values in
Twelfth Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets viii more than double within
the next two years. The construction
OF docks in the Oakland harbor by the
city y. ~ undoubtedly have a very bene-
fetal effect on the entire territory
south Of Seventh street and adjacent to
the water front.
A visit to that very busy manufactur-
ing district contiguous to the harbor
VIII surprise any one not familiar with
this phase of Oakland's commercial l
activity. Here, too, realty values are
lower than any other city Of impor-
tance in the United States.
Aided by our equable climate, low
realty values and most convenient
transportation facilities, our numerous
manufacturing industries are thriving
and rapidly increasing in number. The
extension Of our interurban car lines
and the electrizing of the Southern
Pacific locals are all factors that are
helping in the development and expan-
sion Of greater Oakland at a rate that
"a a few years more will make our city
the metropolis OF the Pacific coast.

METHOD|STS OPPOSE
FIGHT BY MEGAPH0NE
Say That They Should Not be
Forced to Listen to Bulletins
at July Fourth Celebration

Megaphone reports If the Jeffries-
Johnson prize fight at the July
Fourth celebration at the state fair
grounds are opposed by members of
the Methodist church of this city.
This disapproval was expressed in a
standing vote at the service at the
church Sunday night. All but two
o. three of the couple of hundred
people present stood up when the
question was put. The Methodists,
according to DR.. G. e. Gibson, pastor
of the church, have no objection to
the bulletins from the battle being
posted on blackboard at the
grounds during the patriotic celebra
ton but think they should not be in
terjected into the program against
the wishes of the Christian and pa
triatic people who are attempting to
commemorate the day. Such mega
phone reports as are intended of the
fight, and which had been arranged
for by the committee having the cele-
bratiOn in charge, caused Dr. Gibson
to say:
Il call that an insult to the ele-
ment that wants to show it's patriot
ism and does not want to hear about
the fight. I think that the com mittee
should feel that there is an element
at home that does not believe in
prize fights and that it's feeling should
be respected as well as that of the
element from outside that does be-
lieve in them"
The remarks on the prize fight by
megaphone We're incidental to a dis
sertation by Dr. Gibson on Con
science"

NEW BRIDGE FOR YAKIMA.
Commissioners VIII Erect Que 10
Replace Toll Bridge Near
Toppeniah

The long bridge controversy which
has been continued between the peo-
pie Of Yoppyuish and the county COM
missioners ever since the high
water of last November carried out
the toll bridge across the Yakima
river was brought to an end Friday
when the county commissioners let a
contract to the Smith Contracting
company for a new bridge at Top
peniSh which is to cost 10000.
This VIII prove a material aid to
the people of the lower valley who
have been seriously handicapped since
the floods deprived them of their ma
tural place of crossing and compelled
no little Inconvenience.
To aid the people of the Nile val
ley who also are handicapped by lack
of proper bridge, the county COM
missioners have commissioned c. f.
Lum to transfer the span of the old
Yakima city bridge which was lately
taken down, to the Nile river and
erect a 100 foot span at the point
where the state road crosses that
stream. The cost is $500.
Nile people have no bridge at pres
ent and in consequence are hemmcd
