FIFTH STREET PROPERTY
is SOLD FOR $50, 900
Deal Indicates Rapid Increase in
Realty Values

That the district south of Market
street. which was such a fruitful field
for real estate speculation prior to
the fire, is again coming to the front
is evidenced by another deal Just
closed in that section by Lloyd H. Pat
terson, formerly of Vincent & Patter-
son. who has sold to S. Ducas the
property belonging 10 G. w. Hume &
Co. in the westerly line Of Fifth street,
80 feet north of Harrison.
This holding, 59:6x75 feet, improved
with II handsome flats of rooms and
bath each. renting for $500 per month,
cost Ducas approxima tely $36,500. The
greater part Of the purchase price was
paid in cash, but the G. W. Hume COM
pany accepted a lot at the northeast
corner Of Octavia and Fulton streets as
part payment. This lot, having a
frontage Of so feet in Fulton street and
a depth of IS feet in Octavia street,
was valued by Ducas at $4,000.
brief history of the Fifth street
holding will give those interested in
south of Market street realty some
idea of how values have changed. Lloyd
H. Patterson, the broker in the present
transaction. has sold this same property
four different times. The vacant lot,
5e:ex75, brought s22,50O in January,
1906. 1t was disposed of about IS
months after the fire to Katharine G..
Phillips who In turn conveyed il to the
G. w. Hume company in an exchange
at a valuation of s14,500. The Hume
company erected the present improve
ments, which have been steadily rented
since completion, and intended to keep
il as a permanent investment until the
offer made by DucaS was presented,
when they decided TO accept the profit
which il meant.

PARK ATTRACTS
CROWDS DSTOSUNSET
Picturesque Area Has Tremen-
dOus Pleasure Facilities That
Have Proven Great Magnet

While the Golden Gate park, taken as
a whole. is a vastly pleasing spectacle,
and will continue to be leading asset
in the value of the Sunset district from
purely picturesque point of view. it
has tremendous practical pleasure
value that has attracted all classes to
the Sunset. Among other advantages
close at hand which it confers on the
Sunset district are the following:
Stow lake, with its boating facilities,
its swans and walks.
The great band pavilion and concert
area, together with the park museum
and lawns adjoining, and the Japanese
tea garden.
The children's playground. with
swings, merry go round. donkeys and
acres of turf upon which children may
freely play.
The yacht lake. upon the surface of
which yachtsmen send toy craft about
with bulging sails
Two bear pits, in which are Cali
fornia grizzlies, some of which were
born in captivity in Golden Gate park.
Close to these is the buffalo paddock.
An aviary in which thousands of
birds live in absolute freedom and Sc
curity in a glass rooted house, in a
natural grove of scrub oaks, and at
least 1000 canaries hive good night
concert every evening. In the aviary
are included parrots. paroquets, birds
of paradise, ETC., together with small
animals and eagles in separate COM
partments.
Tennis courts Of large size. giving
accommodation to many sets simultan-
eously.
Bicycle routes, equestrian roads, ave.
nues bordered for many miles with
trees. lawns and flower beds leading
throughout the park area and out to
the Pacific, ocean.
The stadium, where athletic sports
are carried on. the baseball grounds;
driving track and accessories.
Deer park, Chain of Lakes, smaller
lakes, hundreds of acres of land suit
able for rambles and picnics. and.
finally, the great ocean beach that
borders the Golden Gate park on the
west, with Great highway, to furnish
people on foot, in automobiles or any
vehicles, a fine and hard road OF great
width upon which to travel.
This catalogue serves very we'll to
show some of the permanent attrac-
tions that lie at the very doors of all
Sunset and furnish means to make
life in that part of the city particularly
enjoyable. They can be reached
without cars from almost all parts of
the district in a few minutes, over easy
grades. Is there any part of the
United States that can offer more joy
close at hand on equally inexpensive
terms?

SUNSET CHARMING
CENTER OF HOMES
Sections Many Advantages as
a Residence District Insure
Its Stability

Insured by its situation as a charm
ing center of homes, Sunset gives as
much promise as Presidio heights or
Pacific heights of retaining its promi-
nence in this direction permanently.
It's vast area is marked out not for
manufacturing but for residences,
schools. churches and the institutions
that are natural results of such a loca-
tion and such conditions as surround
Sunset.
In public schools 1t will be strong.
Among the several school buildings in
the Sunset of the present the more i'm
and the Oceanside. Both are hand
some. costly and large. possessing ex-
cellent situations, are well lighted and
generally admirable. In the district
are other school buildings OF smaller
size. which will be supplanted by
larger structures as they are needed.
On the very edge of Sunset district
are the Affiliated colleges. wherein
there are fine professional schools that
can be reached in a few minutes from
any part of Sunset. The city and
county will expend s1,00O.000 in the
erection and equipment of the Poly
technic school, in which boys and girls
can secure high school education and
also a practical knowledge OF the use
Iul arts Oh the CONSTRUCTION anu man
agement of machinery, of the handling
of materials, of the household arts. OF
dress making. cooking, millinery, etc.
The Polytechnic school will face Golden
Gate park and will be close 10 the At
filiated colleges. No other section of
San Francisco will have grammar
schools, high schools and colleges in
closer proximity or easier TO reach.
Church construction in Richmond is
marked by some structures of rela-
lively high cost and by others that
were erected when the settlements in
Sunset were scattered and neighbor-
hoods were not large. All denomina-
tions will be represented in the near
future in costly church buildings.
The class of homes in Sunset COM
pares favorably with those in other
portions of San Francisco. AT first
the buildings were small and such are
still erected and will be erected TO suit
families of small means who see the
advantages of getting desirable build
ing lots and know that an advance in
land values will take place.
For men of means handsome dwell
ings, flats, etc. have been erected. Sun
set is really just at the beginning of a
great building period. which has been
greatly advanced in time by the grading
of II street, which has increased the ia
teenth avenue a hundredfold at least.
The grading of newly improved blocks
and the offering for sale of hundreds Of
lots never before in the market have
followed and new factor of prime i'm
portance has been so introduced that
will wonderfully expedite the settle
ment of Sunset.

ELECTRIC LINE TO
RUN into fASTON
Supervisors Grant Franchise for
New Road TO Connect With
United Railroads

The supervisors OF San Mateo county
have just granted a franchise for con-
strueting and operating a modern cleo
trio line through the Easton proper
ties, connecting with Southern Pacific
and United Railroads lines. 1t is only
the first step to what will eventually
be a network OF electric feeders. rem
dering accessible the most beautiful
spots of the peninsula hill country.
The high hills which shut on the
cold fogs from the peninsula coun-
try also formed a formidable barrier
TO rapid transportation to the city. IT
took S7,00O.000 to pierce the hills ana
bridge the hollows. but 1T enabled the
Southern Pacific railroad to cut IN haI1
the time Of the peninsula trains. All
along the line new depOts are going up,
roadbeds are being made faster ana
heavier and already the tratnc IS many
times what il was before the com
pletion of the cutoff. The road is
doubletracked with heavy steel rails.

double block system
BIG INCREASE IN SELLING
Easton probably will benefit more
than any other locality from the new
order of things. Already there has
been noticeable increase in selling
in the last few weeks, and new build
ings are now being planned. The fact
that one can reach the city in "a min
utes, whether there Is a thick fog on
the outskirts or not, is in many cases
deciding factor to the businessman or
employe who wants TO get down to the
office promptly at all times
One of the peculiar things about
Easton is that the greater and more
attractive part is not visible from the
station. being completely shut or from
view of the railroad by the high trees
which border the county road The
beautiful homes which come into view
the moment the county road is crossed
is a surprise TO the visitor who has not
seen Easton. Like all the peninsula
towns sufficiently distant from the city,
Easton is free from cold winds and
chilling fogs.
BUILDINGS ARE RESTRICTED
Easton is already well built up by
business and professional men. who are
thus enabled to give full attention 10
their business matters in the city while
securing for themselves and family the
advantages Of a rural atmosphere.
What distinguishes Easton is the
class of improvements. due to the most
owners of Easton have safeguarded
Easton buyers The streets have been
paved, sidewalks and curbs laid. sewers,
lights and telephones installed, palms
and trees planted and schools erected

Typewriter News.

The typewriter news sheet that
has had to be issued in Stockholm
because of the general strike to take
the place of the regular printed
newspaper suggests quaint echo
from the earliest days of English
journalism. 1t was in 1896 that Icha.
bod Dawks, a London correspond
ent" of the original sort, hit upon
the idea of issuing his news letter
printed in type to initiate writing,
the first number being thus announc-
ed: This letter will be done upon
good writing paper, and blank
space left, that any gentleman may
write his own private business. 1t does
undoubtedly exceed the best of the
written news, contains double the
quantity, is read with abundance
more ease and pleasure, and will be
useful to improve the younger sort
in writing a curious hand" Dawks
proudly held in after years that he
thus enabled his readers to know
1.-The Occurrences of the Day, and
the Heads of the Foreign Mails. which
come in many times after the Pub
LEGATION of the Printed Papers, SO
that they may have the chiefest news
stirring"

MOTHER BEES, NOT QUEENS.
A Bee Master Says the Queen Is the
One Real Subject.

There are no queens, properly so
called, in bee life," said the bee mas
ter of Plcasantville, n. J. There
are hundreds Of hives in my garden,
and there isn't a queen in any of
them.
eff you keep fairly close watch on
the progress of any particular hive,
it is very easy to see how the old
false idea got into general use. At
first glance bee colony looks very
much like kingdom, and the single
large bee that all the others pay
court to and attend so carefully
seems very like queen
''The mother bee seems, on the
face Of it, miracle Of intelligence
and foresight While as far as you
know all other creatures in the world
bring forth their young OF both sexes

male eggs apparently at will. You
