to Be Subdivided for
Small Farms

Los Angeles capital is preparing to
establish another alfalfa-growing col

The tract which will be settled as
the Delano Alfalfa colony is on the
main line of the Southern Pacific. The
soil is a mixture of alluvial silt and
decomposed granite, with an album
dance of water at a depth of only
twelve feet, and is ideal for growing
alfalfa. The land will produce decidu-
Gus fruit also, and probably citrus
fruit.
On the land owned by Mr.. Anderson

tire tract, graded and placed in high

offered for SALE Two miles from the
tract is one of 800 acres which Mr.. AL
derson subdivided and sold out in less

the northeast corner of Eighth and
Broadway to twenty-five stories.
The appropriation for the building
already announced was $1,000,000. This
will be increased to 900, making
a total outlay for the project, includ-
ing the site of 100 feet on Broadway
and $50 feet on Eighth, of $2,000,000.
The company is not going on record
as being either in favor or opposed to
increasing the building restrictions now
imposed. However, if the city council
sees fit to raise the limit the invest
ment company will take advantage of
the additional height by running its
building up eleven additional stories.

ing will follow the plans already given
out. Above the twentieth story the
building will take the form of a tower,
highly ornamented and resembling the
famous Singer tower of New York

the street will be 800 feet, and above
that with forty feet additional for or
