in Berkeley

BERKELEY. Jan. IA deal of I'M
portance to the realty market here
was the purchase yesterday by the
Dodge-ver Mehr company of $40 acres
comprising the Sutton ranch, few
miles south of Walnut Creek in Con-
ira Costa county. The property was
formerly owned by Recorder James
Sutton of the university. The realty
company has announced its intention
of cutting the old ranch into building
lots in A district fully protected from
cold and fog, and which will soon be in
easy communication with Berkeley and
Oakland by a new electric road now
being built
The $4,000 deal of the Southern Pa
cific and the Warren Cheney company
of this city has interested the local
market. The announcement of the To-
cation of the station in Northbrae has
set at rest speculation on this point,
and divuIged the intention of the COM
panv not to render Northbrae lands
uninviting by the presence of the loop
system.
Building here is progressing at a
normal rate and many permits secured.
w A. Sleep is building a handsome
home at the corner of Woolsey and
Duncan streets in Berkeley. ]. Gather
Newsom is the architect. The house

ences and viii contain eight rooms. The

council of the graduates has made a
decided rulingsthat hereafter managers
of the junior annual shall not obtain
lists of the graduate students except
under conditions made by the council.
The action of the council has been
the talk of the campus, and Manager
Herbert 5. Johns is the center of the
discussion. His friends. however. de-
clare that Johns is not al fault. as his
agents in the southern cities must
have misunderstood instructions.

upon the matter in this light, and
after placing it in the hands of the
alumni council may also present their
case to the faculty for adjustment.

tanee from the campus. There the

for $3.50, while under pressure it might
be obtained for 81

crate attempt on the part of Johns to
axe advantage of them. According to
the complaints made to the alumni
council. the price of the book should
have been only $3.50.

tion are: President James X. Mof1tt;
first vice president, William II. Gorrill;
