Ile summary IS as follows:
REroRT BY WARDS
PAEI< RIDGE Boulevard

oelevel opnlent Of fine residence parks
IS one Of the features of Oakland's 8
growth. IN this connection. F. F. Reed.
subdivision manager of the Laymance
real 'estate company, said:
We are going to make Rock Ridge
boulevard the most beautiful street in
Oakland From the time we first
planned the entrance on Broadway and
the curving road winding back from II
toward the hills. the owners have
known what this drive would event
uaUy be. Now our plan has been 50
far developed that no one can visit
the property and not see that we are
making q boulevard which will be The
pride Of oakland at no far distant
date
Last week the pavement on the
boulevard was completed and il has
done much TO set off the palm bordered
street with its large frontages on either
side. With the completion of the lovely
italian renaissance gateway the curb

parks at either side of the entrance, the
triangular park and the pavement. it
seemed 10 the outsider as if We had
done all that could possibly be done
But we have no intention of stop
ping there Another of our plans for
further beautifying the property has
been launched this week II is nothing
less than planting lawns for 80 feet
back from the sidewa lks on both sides
of the boulevard. Those broad front
ages. which border the street. are all
sold, yet the lawns are being put in at
the expense of the sales company in
order TO make the drive as beautiful
as possible. 1t means that the people
who are already living on the boulevard
or are building there viii not have to
wait until the other houses are in be-
fore they are surrounded with lawns
and gardens.
The popularity of the whole property
is already attested TO by the number Of
automobiles to be seen on the drives at
any time. There are four miles of roads
I'm Rock Ridge and with the lovely seen
cry Of the natural park and the wonder
ful view it has Of the bay and the sur
rounding country it is little wonder that
many enjoy spinning over its smooth
pavements. Though the approach from
the south through the Claremont
country club grounds and Claremont
manor is finer than the approach to any
property in the west. more people come
in through the big gates on the Broad
way side. IT is so easy to go direct
from town by the main thoroughfare. -
MONEY FOR BUILDING
Speaking of the real estate situation
for the week George ". Austin said:
There is a factor in the evidence of
the ra pid growth of Oakland and which
has not been given much attention by
those who are watching the market.
and this is the amount of money that
is being loaned through realty firms
and otherwise by private individuals.
Tt is a most important feature and my
attention has been called to it espe-
cially of late by the heavily increased
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-17

amount of money which is being loaned
through my office. l am at present
loaning money at the rate of $1,000, 900
year and have been for a year past.
This demand indicates the amount of
building going on and the development
that Oakland is making.
The fact that the banks of Oak
land can not meet the demand for
money necessary for building is very
important feature. There are many
reasons for this condition. The banks
may have loaned all their available
money or the legal restrictions against
their loaning above 60 per cent of the
valuation may be the reason, but the
private lender is paid fair interest"

Austin are as follows:

I have never known the demand for
homes to be greater. and we have not
a single finished house for sale today in
any of our tracts. The sales in Lake

rapid during the past few weeks and
the tract is almost entirely sold out.

colleges in the south, fell a victim to
the flames.
The flames communicated with the
main building, which includes dormi-
tory and study halls combined, and

structure was a mass Of flames in a
very short time. The loss was practi-
cally total, amounting in the aggre-

thirds insurance. -
Fortunately, there was plenty of
time for the students and teachers TO
get their effects out of the building
although some of the furniture was de-
stroyed. The students and teachers
are equartered among friends in the
city, and will be cared for by Mr.. Pres.
ton pending the rebuilding of his

near Winnie, was called to his door
and shot to death by unknown assas-

his WIFE, who had unwittingly held

The rufflans inveigled the farmer
from his bed by making a noise in the

over the lock on the chicken house
door, his wife holding the light, when
the first shot was fired. He pitched
forward on his face; the terrified wife
screaming ran to the house.
After Broadus fell his murderers
poured more lead into his body. The
back of the farmers head was blown
off by a charge from a shotgun. An.
other charge tore its way through his
back. under the left shoulder. The
body was ~peppered with scattering

COTTON MUST GO HIeAEx.
WelI-known Meridian Man Take o

Jackson.-"Cotton will go to seven

Col. c. @. Wyatt of Meridian, who was
in Jackson Monday. TT can't go much
higher than that he continued, "foI.
when it does, it comes into competi.
ton with foreign linens and cheap
wool, but l expect to see it 60 to six.
teen or seventeen cents and stay
there for some time" =
Col. Wyatt has just returned from
a trip east, and bases his prediction
on the fact that few of the mills have
more than enough cotton to run them
over a week.
Long staple cotton is working the
trade. There Is but little of this cot.
ton to be had, and the automobile
manufacturers are afraid they will be
unable to .secure a supply sufficient
ITO meet thefr own demands. The, auto.
mobile makers are using a great deaf
OF long staple cotton, and the demand
bkor it is INCREASING every year. It is
used for tops and fl the tires. and
other grades OF cotton will not do, but
where they are going to get long sta.
pie isNa question.
1T is not a question of price with
them but one of supply, and II the
boil weevil gets into the long staple
belt Of Mississippi it is going to hurt
the automobile industry. They are
going to Egypt for the long staple. but
the supply is limited, while the de.
mand is increasing. and this cotton
will bring record prices.

great deal of attention in the east"
