SOLANO PREPARES
NEW ALLOTMENT
Demand for Small Farms Be
ing Met by Cutting Up
Big Estates

The first months campaign by A. j.
Rich & Co. for the marketing of 10
and 20 acre subdivisions of Solano Irri-
gated Farms closed during the week
with a record of total sales above
$750.0o0, according to the firm. Before
another month passes another allot-
ment OF the farm lands and the town
site of Solano will both be offered
to the public. This statement was
made yesterday by the sales manager:
For years there has been demand
for the cutting up of the big estates
in California and redistribution among
small farmers. That partition of the
great ranches is now under way and
millions are being spent all over
northern California TO prepare the
small farms for occupation by settlers.
And small farms are scarce. Mighty
few are for sale outside of those offered
by the big land companies, and set
tiers are swapping those up as fast
as they can be marketed. Farmers
from the east, investors from al home
and abroad and persons with a little
money to tuck away In acreage are
beginning to buy the cream of Cali
fornia's farm land with one definite
purpose in view-to get title to it
before the Panama canal is opened, and
the stream of European colonists
comes ella amoring for soil. Several col
onies of foreigners are already nego-
tiating for locations on Solano farms,
but 1T is a fact that our quickest buy
ers are California farmers who are
after two things-they want to get a 8
close as possible to the biggest market.

Owners Of the subdivisions in the
Twin Peaks region have provided
against conditions obtaining around the
Fillmore street bore, where Los An
geles capitalists are said to have
bought up options. Inasmuch as the
land about the western portals of the

part of Forest Hill, ST. Francis Wood

portunity for the development of any
enterprises save that of home build

divisions already is brisk.

started a nursery on the tract for the
propagation of rare plants and flowers

PRAISE FOR "CHUTTER..
Cony High Boy Making Good at West

Correspondence from West brook

ries high praise of the first showing of
"Chutter' Harvey Of Augusta on the
Westbrook gridiron, Wednesday The
Express says:
The work of, yesterday, was rather
strenuous for the first week. Coach
Shepard just before the close of prae-
tice put the men through short
serimmage picking out two teams.
This was of very short duration and
after it was over the men were sent
on run around the field and the
practice was over.
Those who showed up well of the
new men We're Niles, the former Halo
well quarterback, Mcdonald at end
and Harvey, the former Cony High
star half back and captain. Harvey
showed up exceptionally well and
should make a very valuable man. He
is fast, big and knows the game. Niles
at quarter is also fast and should he
live up to his former reputation a
quarter which he acquired up the
State. In all probability Captain
Lynch will be shifted back to his old
position at end which he played two
years age.
