WINTER MARKET |COLLEGE MEN OPENS STRONG| LOYAL TO HALE e Lkl Real Estate Men Report an,Complimentary Banquet to Increase in Demand for All. Kinds of Property BARKER PARK IS SOLD Berkeley and Alameda Deal- ers Are Well Satisfied With the Present Outlook S Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Nov. 27. With the opening of winter the ex- pectations of local real estate dealers that there would be a marked increase | in business have been fully realized. - There is hardly a firm in the city that| has not had all the business that could | be handled during the last week, de- spite the fact that Thanksgiving week | © generally rather dull. All parts of located business property. Dealers In Berkeley and Alameda also report increased activity since the elec- | In Alameda the demand for cot- tages continues to exceed the supply, and it is expected that as soon as the winter is over there will be a build- ing boom in the “Island City.” Much street work is being done in North Berkeley at present, for the purpose of opening up new building tracts. A contract has just been let by the Northland Development Company for street and sewer work to cost $3000 The Syndicate Investment Company has just secured Barker Park, one of | the finest residence tracts in Fruitvale, which has already been snbdivided into building lots. Nineteen of these- lots were sold last Thurday Barker Park is a part of the F. L. Barker property, and is located on Fruitvale avenue just, above the county rof\d The price paid for the tract was $35,000, and the value ot the lots already sold approximates $10,000. Willlam J. Laymance, president of the Laymance Real Estate Company, reporis an active market with a splen- did outlook for the winter. He said . We have sold during the past week for John W. Phillips, the well known capitalist, and E. B. Pond to A. Silverstein the two-story busi- ness block and Jot 25x100 feet on the north line of Eighth street, 125 feet east of Washington, for $8750. We have also s0ld a suburban tract of unim- proved lots in the nelghborhood of $10,000 to another local capitalist.. This property Is be- ing purchased to be held by the buyer as an in- vestment, as he has great faith in the future value of Oakland suburban property We have also sold for Mrs. M. McGann to George Roeth, another well known capitalist, the southwest corner of Sixtn and Clay streets, size T5x100 feet, for § For Professor George (. Edwards to W. A. Pattiani, an-eight-room house, with lot 40x100 feet, situated un the north side of Twenty-first street, 200 feet east of Webster, for $6000. We have also leased two of the handsome new homes in this same block at $45 per month. This proves the fact that new houses | find ready tenmnts. While these houses were built for the market, the rentals paid such good futerest that Professor Fdwards leased same instead of selling. everal sales of cheap houses and lots indi- cate that the man of moderate means s very much in evidence. There is also a large class of buyers who are hard to accommodate—peo- ple who are wanting income investment prop- erties. It is difficult to Aind this clase of prop- erty, because the present owners have such confidence in their holdings that they will not place the same in the market. A promincnt Oakland banker remarked to me yesterday that there must be a great many new people coming into Oakland, as he cannot remember a time when there Were so many new bank accounts opened. This speaks well for our city. And not only mnew residential people are coming to Oakland, but new busi- ness firms are looking toward our fair city. We have recently located the Pacific Wood and Willowware Company, @ wholesale concern. This company has taken a long lease on a twe with improvement story brick building on Washington street, near Seventh, We have also leased two of the stores In the new . H. King building at Twelfth and Harrison streets, one to P. Mc- Mullen for five years for a wholesale and re- | tall hardware business and the other to R. | Price for three years for a wholesale and re- tail candy business. We are informed that the suecess attending | the soliciting of students by the Polytechnic Business Celiege, which has leased the three upper floors of this new building, is so encour- aging that another story may be added to the bullding. Mr. King has expressed his willing- ress to make this a five-story bu!ll:fln' huu’l’d y re 4’ space. He says he they require the added spi e saye he realizes the great importance of 1000 students, coming from the States of Washing- fon, Oregon and California, means to this city. Tne president of the Continental Paint and Varnish Company, which company was recently located by us, informed me that he was well plesed with Oakland as a manufacturing and Qistributing point, and that he was getting some_ splendid ness from San Francisco and Pacific Coast firms. He also said he had negotiations on for fome large orders to the South American countries. A. F. Cornwall, secretary ‘of the E. P. Vandercook Company, said: The real estate outiook is much better since the elebtion. We look forward to an exceed- ingly good winter trade, as there is a strong demand for small properties ranging in price from $1500 to $3000, and situated near .car lines or local®trains. A large number of Eastern people are mak- ing inquiries about Oakland and its surround- ings, with a view to locating here in the near T e e elasiy a0 1o cont z il tances we are unable to fill the wants of our customers. A. L. Kreiss of the firm of Kreiss & Horswill, who have just opgned a general real estate office at No. 1070 Broadway, reports a prosperous be- inning and gives it as his opinion hat the realty market at the present time is in better condition and has a livelier and steadier trend than it had this time last vear. He also reports the following sales for the past week: | Lot on Shattuck avenue, 50 feet south of Ashby to Dr. Faulkner: lot on north side of Thirty-first. street, east of Grove, to Mrs. Joseph Rattray for Ernest Roeder; also, $7000 apartment house, southwest corner of Bancroft way amd Telegraph avenue, Berkeley, to Mrs. A. A. Hutchins for T. Bril- liant. The East Oakland Real Estate Dealers’ Association met Wednesday T evening at the office of Albert Schmidt and formulated plans for permanent organization. Rules for the selling of property by agents were discussed, but no definite action was taken. B. H. Welch, D. W. La For- tune and T. W. Jeffress were appoint- ed to draft an agreement relating to organizing the association, and W. R. Plunkett, Hugh Cameron and Albert Schmidt were appointed a committee on membership and organization. Another meeting of the association will be held at the same place, 1132 Thirteenth avenue, on Wednesday. ALAMEDA, Nov. 26.—With the po- litical campaign over. local dealers in realty look for a quickening in every department of the business. The de- mand for modern cottages to rent con- tinues as strong as ever and the sup- ply as short as formerly. Flats, apartment houses and the larger two- story residences are not sought for in Alameda as they are in other citles. ‘When people. come here to live they want, to get close to the earth and, for this reason, the cozy cottage with its_ample rear yard and front lawn and garden has the call over other classes of homes.

Right of Authori- ties to Aet as Censors Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Nov. 27. Despite the action of the university authorities in dismissing W. T. Hale, editor of the Daily Californian, from college for one year, thus testifying to the distavor in’ which he is held by the university faculty, friends of the young student editor have determined to give him a substantial testimony of their admiration and esteem, before he leaves this week for his home in San Diego. . Hale was dismissed for criticizing in sarcastic editorials the faculty and par- ticularly the military section of the in- structors. He ridiculed the order of Captain Nance, that the “potent, grave and reverend seniors” march in mili- tary fashion into the classroom. Hale in his paper invited all and sundry, on the day of the order was issued, to “come up to the campus and see the fun,” or words to that effect. A sen- sational riot followed, with reports of which the press of the State were filled, =0 that it was found necessary, even- tually, for the university authorities to take cognizance of the offenders. Forty-eight of them are now on proba- tion, threatened with expulsion if they do not obey orders. Hale was suspended for a year, as being - indirectly responsible for the riot. He persisted to the last in de- claring his right to criticize the facul- ty, when justice demanded eriticism, but the faculty decided that he was wrong, and President Wheeler gently, | but firmly, applied the official ax, and the boy editor's fate was_at once the sensation of campus and College hall. He is now to be the guest of honor at a testimonial banquet given by his classmates and such alumni as are in- terested in the affair. He will sit at the liead of the festal board and listen to the eloquent words of youthful col- legians who wish to show that despite Hale’s humiliation they esteem him high and believe him to be a youth of character and high ideals, in disgrace temporarily, but deserving of tokens of regard. Hale will receive a bound copy of The Daily Californian, which he edit- eti, and in the volume will be blank pages of paper, on which will be placed the signatures of those who attend the dinner given to him. Richard O’'Con- nor, '04, editor of The Daily Californian during his senior year at the univer- sity, is arranging the details of the af- fair, which probably W take place next Wednesday night i Oakland. Joseph Loeb; managing editor of The Daily Californian, has been directed by President Wheeler to remove Hale's name from the paper as editor when it is issued to-morrow. The question of faculty censorship of college publications is to be dis- cussed exhaustively at a meeting of the The club is composed of prominent un- dergraduates who are connected with university publication ALAMEDA, Nov. 27.—Fancy chick- v all of the larger cities Coast and as far east will be exhibited at the Kansas fowl show to be held next Thursday, as Friday ana Saturday by the Alameda County Poultry Association at 1517 1519 Park street.

Con- cerning the firm's business, Mr. Hawks said: While the election and campaign may have had a quieting effect on the realty business that is fast passing away. When people are seeking homes they are not as a general thing deterred from doing so by political matters. We have had numerous demands for four, five and six room cottages to rent and have been unable to give prospective tenants what they want. There Is an unprecedented call for homes that rent for from $15 to $20 a month. We recently sold a lot to a Mrs. Lawrence on Railroad avenue, between Fifth and Sixth streets, upon which the new owner will im- mediately erect a commodious cottage. J. S. Hanley & Co. effected the trans- fer of two lots on High street, between Post and Jefferson street, on which two cottages will be built. This firm reports an increasing demand for cottages to rent. 4 During the last two weeks Hammond & Hammond negotiated the following sales: Five-room cottage on the south- east corner of Post and Madison streets to Randolph Graden; five-room cottage on lot 50 by 150 on Oak street, near Central avenue, to Charles W. Wong; lot and six-room house on the south side of Jefferson, street. east of Regent, to Mrs. Mary Asmus. This firm has also in process of negotiation two deals, one involving the transfer of a residence and the other the sale of a large tract of land. Charles S. Adams & Co. of Bay Sta- tion report business unusually aquiet with them for ten days. They expect that it will pick up with the close of the month. . William Dufour & Co. sold to Mrs. Abble Lewis last week a large two- story residence on Railroad avenue. near Minturn street. The firm is fizur- ing on the construction of an artistic home on Paru street. Hally & Co., E. D. Judd & Co.. A. R. Denke and the Alameda Land Company all report an increase in business since the election. BERKELEY, Nov. 27.—Extensive im- provements in North Berkeley, which will make that section of the university town vie with other better known parts in the opinion of real estate experts, are planned by the Northland Develop- ment Company, which to-day awarded a contract to the King Construction Company for the sewering, macadamiz- ing and the laying of 3000 feet of drain- age pipe in land near Grove and Cedar streets. The work-ordered done is to cost $30,000. It is said to be the intention of the Oakland Traction Company to extend its Grove street line into the tract to be imbroved as soon as the work of im- provement is completed. The creek there will be filled in after the drainage pive has all been laid. 'niversity Press Club to-morrow night. | TY OF ALAMEDA BRANCH OFFICES OF THE CALL IN ALAMEDA COUNTY OAKLA 1016 Broadway.
