EVIDENCE OF EXPANSION
is SHOWN AT WILMINGTON

There is a large and increasing de-
mand for small tracts and building lots
in the industrial and shipping center of
Wilmington, as has been shown by the
number OF transfers reported by the
Vaughan Middleton company, which
has just opened up some of the most
desirable land along the Wilmington
water front.
Vaughan Middleton company first ad-
vertised their property in last Sundays 8
edition of this paper, and since that
time they have disposed Of thirty-nme
pieces. Twelve houses have already
been started, and an even greater ac-
tivity is looked for the coming week.
Those who are in touch with harbor
affairs realize the unlimited possibilities
of the future development of the new
port of Los Angeles, and that those
who take advantage of theit opportuni-
ties now will reap the greatest profits
from that development
New industries have been put in ope-
ration so rapidly in Wilmington that
there are not nearly enough houses to
accommodate the many employees and
their families. Consequently as quickly
as new houses are built they are rented
at very profitable income.
The property of the Vaughan Middle
ton company is within from two to five
minutes walk from the largest of the
new industries. 1t is most convenient
ly located for home sites and will surely
be taken up in short order

CONFIDENCE THE KEYNOTE OF
BUSINESS PROGRESS
Los Angeles and Southern California
to Experience Wonderful Record
in Development IN Next
Five Years

Commenting on the outlook in COM
mercial and industrial lines in Los
Angeles and vicinity, John d. Reavis,
member of the directorate of the Beau
mont Land and Water company and
secretary of the San Gorgonio Water
company, in an interview Saturday
said:
1--WE have now passed the debilitat-
ing effects of the 1907 depression and
are at the threshold OF an era of pros
perity that ought to make the next
five years epochal in business achieve
ment. Labor conditions are settled,
and the crops uniformly above normal
throughout the country. The exist
ence of these factors, which when COM
bned always result in real prosperity
is shown by favorable bank statements,
increased railroad earnings and a no.
ticeable absence of labor disputes
Eastern manufacturers in steel, text
lies and foodstuffs are crowded with
orders, and not only is the public buy
ing the necessities of life in a con-
stantly increasing ratio, but luxuries
also, as evidenced by heavy imports OF
wines, diamonds, etc, as well as the
enormous sale of automobiles of home
manufacture.
Confidence, the keynote of business,
has " cSGCIb lIoSlA3 ditu
gold, the most timid of commodities
promises soon to come out in the open
to seek a fair exchange. Banks
throughout the country are carrying
such heavy reserves as would indicate
the necessity of a wider loaning ratio,
and the present cheapness of money for
investment purposes fortifes this de-
duction.
Theater Of Activity
Naturally the west, and especially
California, is to be the theater of SYM
pathetic and widespread activity, for
here capital finds chance for safe In
vestment. with returns above the aver
age, in connection with the develop
ment of our natural resources.
LOS Angeles and Los Angeles coun-
ty will, in my opinion, experience a de-
Veopment in the next five years that
will not only make past surprising ac-
Cretions to population look small, but
also add wealth and assessed valuation
in proportion.
Real estate in particular is, in my
opinion, to feel the first touch of the
new prosperity, and while the big
movement. that will find its culmina-
tion in the next five years Will not
reach it's climax III 1910, there is certain
to be many heavy transactions in both
ranch and city property in the next
twelve months. Undeveloped lands will
steadily prevail in both extent of de-
mand as well as increase in price, and
the subdivision of large tracts of this
character will be the crowning feature
from now on.
"The certainty of success for any
local investor is only qualified by fun
damental restrictions, namely: let ul-
tra-speculative ventures strictly alone,
and as far as possible keep money at
home. Los Angeles is destined to sur
prise and reward its adherents in the
coming year, and the measure of an
investors faith will alone decide the
question as to how much money he can
make on real estate investments
