EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF NHARVEs, DOCKS
AND FERRY SHIPS At OAKLAND

Oakland, California, at which the
Western Pacific reaches tide water,
is also the land terminus of the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
systems, on the continental side Of
the Bay of San Francisco, opposite
the Golden Gate.
This city, which has long been re-
garded as one of the most desirable
residence cities of California, rapid
ly gaining recognition as one of the
chief commercial and Industrial cen
tiers of the Pacific coast.
The superior transportation faclli.
ties afforded by three trans-contin-
entail railroads, with twenty-sevell
miles Of water front, where car and
ship come together, with command of
water carriage by trans pacific,
coast, bay and river steamers, give
Oakland preeminent position as a
distributing point.
Accessibility to both raw material
and market, to ample motive power
piped from the inexhaustable fields
of Central California, and by cleo
tricity from great hydro-electric
plants, utilizing the waters of the
high Sierras, gives the Oakland man
ufacturer the advantage of the cheap
est energy known.
Coupled with these are a climate
free from extremes of heat and cold,
tending to the highest efficiency OF
labor.

AS a result of these conditions,
Oakland is becoming the Mecca of
the manufacturers.
The situation of Oakland is some-
what unique, in that while it's NUM-
cipal boundaries are prescribed it
is the center of the civic. CONNER
cial and industrial interests of a
quarter of a million people embraced
within the confines of Alameda, AL
bany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Pied
mont and Richmond, which, while
possessing local administrative
powers, are practically extensions of
Oakland proper, will ultimately be
merged in one municipality.
Oakland is the county seat and
chief commercial city of Alameda
County, which embrace an area of
$4,000 acres, with soil and climate
conducive to the largest variety Of
agricultural and horticultural pro-
ducts.
A progressive municipal admins
tration is expending s2,5OO,OOO in the
development of municipal docks and
warehouses, $1,15O,OOO in the con
struction of a modern municipal Of
flee building, $4,000 for a muicipal
fire and police telegraph system and

SLOW STOCK DAY
BUT PRICES FIRM

The arrival and departure of the
mails this morning made of this
week-opening one of the most quiet
on record. All of the brokers were
busy reading or writing letters or
both; and while buyers and sellers
were both more or less in evidence,
very few transactions were recorded.
The indications are of considerable
business during the Afternoon and to-
morrow.
Sales of 8 and Is Pioneer were made
at $3.50, after which the same was
bid and $232.50 asked The stock is
very strong at the figures indicated.
A sale of rs Hutchinson was report
ed at $3.50, and later report was
made of the sale of 175 shares at
$16.875--a sweeping drop. At the
close the latter figure was bid for more
but $1T was being asked.
A big sale of 10 Hawaiian Com.
merclai was made at $41.125. This
morning, however, more was offered
at the same, but bidding had dropped
to SAL.
On the board this morning 25 and
rs Brewery changed hands at $21 rs,
after which more was offered at the
same but bidding was at $21.625.
other sales on the board were of
so and 25 Eva at SS3.S75, after which

sIons 70 its public school facilities,
and municipal auditorium, which will
involve the expenditure of $3,5OO,-
600.
Private enterprise has planned and
is in process of carrying out
schemes of improvement, including
extension of terminal docks, electri-
flying focal traction system, the
building of new business blocks, the
bankers hotel, Young Mems Chris
tian Association Building, new shops
of the Pullman Company, pipe and
steel works, belt railway, ship yards,
car factories, and other enterprises,
which will mean an expenditure Of
more than $4O,O0O,OOO in the immedi
ate future in Oakland. These enter
prises have had a stimulating effeLt
upon business, and real estate val
ues, and have turned the attention of
shrewd investors toward Oakland.
AS a result, there has been a large
expansion in financial transactions,
so that Oakland lately led every
city in the percentage of increase m
bank clearings, and it is shown by
the census to have been one of the
cities which has made the most ra-
pid growth during the last decade.
The advent of the Western Pacific
will be an added factor in promoting
the progress and prosperity of Oak
land.

IN FOR AN HOUR

Three Russians were sentenced by
United States Judge Robertson this
morning to one hours detention in the
custody of the United States Marshal.

day they decided to plead guilty and
when the judge found out how long
they had already been in all he de-
cided that one hour more was enough.
