The mountain lion that has been such a terror to the inhabitants of the B eley hills the last two weeks is on deck again. His sleek, elusive form was seen yesterday several miles from his first haunts around Schmidtville. He appeared in an abandoned quarry on the old Fish’ Ranch road, where a, gang of telephone linemen, was work- ing. The linemen got only a glimpse of the beast as he slunk off into the brush: when frightened by them, but them that he is a full grown animal. To some of the men, intleed, he looked as big as an elephant and altogeiher he corresponds in description to the animal seen by the farmers of Schmidtville. The lion first made himself known in this neighborhood by. killing off a lot of sheep and calves in Schmidtville, A but they were unsuccessful in running him down.

They were entertained by them and to-mor- row will commence their sessions in an open wigwam in open air at Wag- ner's Grove, a secluded spot in the gm among the redwoods near the Miss Summerfield, proprietor of a lodging-house, with petty larceny. It develops that the charge has grown out of rivalry on the part of the hos- tess and guest for the affections of a young man to whom Miss Dougherty intrusted the railroad checks for her trunks. Instead of going to the depot after them he gave the checks to Miss Summerfield. The police assert that both Miss Summerfield and Miss Dougherty are in love with the young man. At any rate, Miss Dougherty declares that in a jealous frenzy, iss Summerfield has held her trunks and declines to let her have any of the summer dresses with which Miss Dougherty ‘hoped to shine during her visit. .

SANTA ROSA, July 24.—A committee | from Oakland Lodge, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and a com- mittee of the Banta Rosa lodge of the | order spent the day in the redwoods in the vicinity of Guerneville to-day in- specting the proposed site of the Elks' paddock to be secured there. The order has an option on more than 500 acres of redwood land at Korbels, and in- spected other sites. In addition to the erection of a large clubhousé for mem- bers it is proposed to sell lots to mem- bers of the order who will erect sum- mer homes there. It is proposed to make the place a summer resort particularly for mem- bers of the Elks’ order. This afternoon the two committees were brought to this city on a special train arranged for by General Passenger Agent R. X. Ryan. They were taken to the Eiks’ clubrooms in this city, where a delight- ful surprise awaited the Oakland vis- itors in the way of entertainment and refreshments. The home in the redwoods will be probably the largest paddock of which the order can boast in the world. It is intended to survey streéts through the property and lay off building lots 50 by 150 feet. These lots will surround the immense clubhouse, Wwhich will be erected by the two lodges, and each purchaser of a lot will erect his own home. p The place will be a veritable Elkdom and will resound with merriment dur- ing the summer months. High jinks will be given similar to those of the Bohemian Club, and the members are looking forward to many delightful times in the redwoods.

MANY DEMANDS for the Renting Public STEADY CALL FOR LOTS Market Reports Show That the Movement Is General. uburban Sales Inerease ——— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, July 24. The rapid growth and general pros- perity of Oakland during the last year has attracted the attention of people from all parts of the East and real estate dealers are receiving inquiries | every day regarding the prices of prop- erty in this city. These inquiries come inot only from home seekers, but also from real estate speculators and from ! men seeking business investments. A well-known local broker said this morning that the majority of sales made by him during the week were to non-residents of Oakland. The chief difficulty experienced by real estate men is to secure a sufficient number of cottages and small homes to accommodate prospective renters. As the vacation season draws to a close this difficulty will increase. This con- dition is a considerable surprise to local brokers, for during the year many houses of this class have been built to rent, and in addition many apartment- houses and flats have been erected. William J. Laymance of the Lay- anance Real Estate Company said to- ay: * This has been the busfest vacation season that I have ever experienced. Our renting de- partment h; been active twenty properties having been rented this week. Two-thirds of the applicants for houses are strangers here.

Austin reports a demand for property, particularly residences about North Oakland and Piedmont, that is more than ordinary for the sum- mer months. The number of buyers and amount of sales during the last two months were so encouraging that the agents feared that it might not con- tinue, but the week's business proves their apprehensions are unwarranted. Among the sales effected by this firm are the following: House and lot—Thirty-fourth street, Market, to John Anderson, $2750. House and Jot on Market street, near Four- teenth, for P. F.

This firm has just completed a six-room cottage on Encinal avenue, between Walnut and Willow streets, and another on Fifth street between Halght and Railroad avenues. During the last week Dufour & Co. also disposed of a cottage on High street, near Encinal avenue. A. R. Denke of the West End reports that within the last twelve months he has constructed seventeen homes . in that section of the city. Because of its nearness to San Francisco and conse- quent saving of time to commuters in crossing the bay, the West End is growing in favor with people seeking home sites here. Frank N. Dodd of the Alameda Land Company asserts that his firm is pre- paring te do much building. Mr. Dodd attributes the building boom to the lack of modern cottages and larger houses, which rent well and which have been difficult to obtain for two years. Another matter that Mr. Dodd believes is responsible for the demand for homes in Alameda is the advertising the city has been given throughout California and in the Eastern States. He was one o. the first to advocate the advertising of Alameda in the larger magazines and attributes much of the profit that local property owners and dealers are now reaping to that source. Captain J. S. Hanley says that he has all that he wants to attend to in the real estate business and that not for many months has he been so busy. He negotiated during the last few days i the sale of three lots in the neighbor- hood of Morton street station, on which magnificent homes are to be erected. Charles Adams & Co. of Bay sta- tion report the sale of three lots last week on which homes costing from $2500 to $3000 are to be built. E. D. Judd & Co. and Elmer F. Johnson report the inquiry for build- ing sites and modern cottages to rent as strong and steadily increasing. They look for a quickening in the local mar- ket after the close of the summer va- cation. ————— MACCABEES ADOPT THE NEW SCHEDULE OF RATES tion in Supreme Tents As- sembled Follows Recommenda- tion of Committee on Laws.
