I F|NE HOMES FOR
SAN CARLOS PARK
$4,000 Residence of A. Paul
sen First to Be Occupied
in Peninsula Tract

The $4,000 residence of A. Pauisen,
the San Francisco contractor, on one
of the most slightly locations In san
Carlos park was occupied by the own
er and his family last week.
The residence is in the italian re-
naissance style OF architecture and is
planned to take advantage of the
beautiful view of the peninsula range
OF mountains that Is one OF the chief
charms of this favored suburb. A
pergo1a and terrace, opening from the
dining room, commands an unsur-
passed landscape reaching nearly TO
Palo Alto.
Among the other fine homes near
ing completion is that of o. E. Platt-
ner to cost $1,000.
The Sarsi studio finished last week
the imposing manorial gateway lead
ing to the upper park. When the
parking now in the hands of the land
scape architects, and reaching for 100
yards on either side of the station, is
finished, there will be half mile of
continuous parkway. with triple drives
between rows of trees. from the sta
tion to this main entrance. Together
with the sculptured urns and electro
liers along the cement sidewalks, this
is said to make one of the most elab-
crate improvements in the west.
Several additional blocks were made
ready for the market during the week
by the completion of streetwork and
sidewalks. A lively inquiry and sew
eral sales are reported for the week
by the San Carlos Park Syndicate.

.SO[ANO LOCATED
STRATEG|CA[LY
Proposed City in Midst OF
Small Farms Tract Is
Admirably Placed

strategic location is favor1te
phrase in the description of the geo.
graphical advantages Of city In rela-
tion to commerce, industry or trans
portation. 1t may be applied by degree
to world city like San Fran
cisco, with its marvellous harbor. or to
village that serves as a business
and social center for mining or farm
ing or agricultural community. There
are logical" sites for cities due to
natural reasons or to the trend OF de-
velopment Mark Daniels, who has
made an expert study OF S4 munich
palities, says that Solano is the most
logical site for new city of any place
in America, and he bases the statement
on strategic location"
1t occupies exactly the same relation
to San Francisco and the bay On the
north that San Jose does on the south.
San Jose has a population of more than
$4,000. Solano, so far, is only a grain
field with the lot stakes driven. San
Jose is at the key to the Santa Clara
valley, with product area of 100000
acres. Solano is at the key to the
Sacramento valley, with a productive
area Of 100000 acres. San Jose is de-
pendent upon one steam railroad sys-
tenn for freight transportation. Solano
is at the head of a shipping canal that
will carry its freight directly to deep
the Oakland and Antioch, that will cut
travel time to the bay cities; it has
another electric line coming that will
run the length of the Sacramento val
ley and two other roads are looking to
it for entry

POLK PLANS To
SPEND MILLIONS

Disbursements of millions for new
construction in and near the city will
be begun by the Willis Polk company
this week.
The largest single job to be started
Will be the Hobart building in Market
street below Montgomery, which will
amount to $1,000.0 900. The specifica-
tions for structural steel on this build
ing have gone to the firms who will
bid on the contract. and deliveries will
soon commence. This is to be a 20
story building of the most advanced
type of construction.
The contract was let for the steel
frame of the addition to the Mills
building during the week, and excavat-
ing for the foundations will start this
week. The extension will be about
10 feet wide In Bush street. and will
be of the same height and style as the
older part OF the building.
The same firm Is putting the finish
on the Insurance Exchange building In
California street. with all contracts ex-
cepting the marble in the corridors well
ahead Of time. The Offices were prom
ised tenants by October /. but present
prospects are that they will break all
records by starting to move In this
week.
Polk is planning a big celebration
this fall on his return from Europe
as a compliment to his STAFF for finish
ing Office buildings of total value of
S10 600. 900, not one of them running
over time. He claims for his men a
worlds record, and has promised the
best banquet the city can afford If
spoil the record. The big Polk staff
counts that dinner as won, barring any
conceivable delay in the little work
remaining to be done.

AN IRRIGATED
LAND SUCCESS

In these days of subdivisions and
irrigated farms the story of what en-
ergy and application will do for the
farmer in the way of bringing health
and profits in a section where there
is no gambling with the weather is
most interesting.
In Merced county. next to the thriv-
ing little town of the same name, are
located the Wright brothers. Their
packing is perfect and their dried fruit
speckless and tasty. And yet Wright
brothers are not professional farm
ers. George A. Wright worked as
farm hand, the only help" on the 10
acre farm in Beaver county, Pennsyl-
vania. He became dissatisfied because
of the lack of production and small
wages. His brother was in California,
so he joined him here and bought 53
acres of land in an irrigated section,
so as to avoid" the gamble element.
Here is what he says in his own
words: I'VE now have IL acres in
peaches and apricots, we devote eight
acres to blackeyed beans and five acres
to alfalfa. We dry our peaches and
apricots and our orchard has been a
gratifying success, as we have aver
aged from $50 to 500 an acre. net.
The blackeyed beans we find a good
source of income. We have made as
high as $40 an acre, net. The result
on our five acres of alfalfa is quite
as satisfactory as on our orchard and
beans, and we are putting in more al
fa1fa from time to time"

LARGE FRUIT CROP
At sONOMA VISTA

Sonoma Vista is at present the scene
of great activity, as in addition to the
many buildings now under construc-
tion, the fruit picking season is in
full sway.
About half of the townsite is COM
posed of the old Nordwel1 orchard, one
of the largest and most varied in the
entire Sonoma valley. and as the price
of fruit is exceptionally high this year,
and the yield in that section heavy,
many of the residents who have not
yet been able to complete their homes
are living In tents until after the fruit
season is over.
The demand for homesites in this
new resort, which is owned by Harvey
M. Toy, has been very great during
the last 60 days, and special excursions
are now being run each Sunday. and a
free lunch served under the oak trees
near the creek, for the benefit of those
who can not conveniently visit the
property during the week.

PUBLICITY To MD
RESIDENCE TRACTS
Commerce Chamber Invites
Promoters of Twin Peaks
Region to Join Campaign

A publicity campaign to present San
Francisco to the world as a home city
Is shortly to be commenced by the
Chamber of Commerce through It's
publicity committee.
The movement is not to be in the
interest Of any residential tract or
section of the city. but is to be general,
complete and far reaching.
While the plans OF publicity ex-
ploitation along these lines have not
matured to the extent that they can be
made public at this time, 1t is known
that developers of many OF the large
residence tracts which are now giving
the city characteristic distinction of
a new home building era, have been
invited to cooperate in a general ad-
vertising propaganda.
In real estate circles it is said that
the Chamber of Commerce movement
has been received with enthusiasm
and will be heartily supported in a
broad gauge way.
1t is pointed out that while San
Francisco is one of the best adver-
tised cities in the world, its advantages
as a city in which people of moderate
means may easily acquire good homes
at reasonable prices have been some-
what neglected.
The present highly favorable status
OF the Twin Peaks tunnel, which will
bring within convenient distance more
than $4,000 acres of virgin residential
tracts, with a beautiful marine view,
free from the dust of the city, where
business houses are barred and the
department house can never invade. is
one of the recent requirements which
has inspired the general advertising
movement for San Francisco as home
city.
1t is held to be obvious that San
Francisco. by the requirement of large
outlying tracts SO splendidly suited for
home. and to be brought in such close
touch with the very heart of the city
by tunnels and electric car transporta-
ton, has now the chance to establish
what everybody knows to be essential
in civic life-a chance for people of
moderate means to acquire home.
Property acquiring advantages will
not alone be exploited. The advertis-
ing propaganda will include San Fran
ciscos manifold civic advantages, and 1t
will be shown conclusively that it is a
good place in which to live.
The water and sewer systems just
completed in Forest Hill are regarded
as the finest pieces of work ever done
in any residential tract in this state.

The pre-opening day excursions, which
are being run every Sunday, are re-
suiting in the sales of scores of sites
In the completed section of the prop
erty. Many of these purchasers are
home builders and will improve their
sites with artistic bungalows this year.
The building movement in the tract has
aroused the interest OF a well known
Marin county builder to the extent that
negotiations are now under way for
the acquisition of a block of sites,
which he will improve and sell on the
easy payment plan.
Speaking of the sales to date, Harvey
M. Toy. vice president and general man
ager of the Lagunitas Development
company, said: Our total sales at
Woodacre aggregate upward of $4,000
and in practically every instance pur-
chasers have acquired quarter acre
sites, which seem to meet popular favor
is making arrangements to finance pur-
chasers who lack the necessary funds
to build homes on their sites. This
move has been made because of the
fact that we have several applications
from purchasers for money with which
