Wickham Havens, one of to-day that whether the prospective pur- chaser.desires to secure 2 home site or a well paying investment there is no better location than Pledmont.. The present condition of the Alameda County real estate market is extremely gratifying to Oakland real estate dealers, the majority of whom report that in al- demand is greater than ..e supply. This is especially true of the inquiry for small homes and cottages for sale, the supply at present being far short of the de- mand. This condition is true not only of Oakland, but also of Alameda and Berke- ley. Real estate men ip both these citles report that they have no difficulty in find- ing ready purchasers for all the desirable property placed on.the market. but that there is more than the usual trouble in finding properties to suit eash buyers. Willlam Hammond of the firm of Ham- | mond & Hammond of Alameda said to- day: “Business is better in Alameda at pres- ent- than it has been for several years past, and every department of our office i running, so to speak, up to its full ca- | pacity. Although property values have increased .considerably In the last year, there is no difficulty in finding ready pur- chasers for all kinds of residence prop- erty. Many of the recent sales of Ala- meda real estate have been made to peo- ple from other parts of the State and from the East. I should say, in fact, that fully 6 per cenf of the recent sales of property have been made to outsiders.” Following are some of the larger sales made by the firm of which Mr. Ham- mond is-a member in the last month: Tract betweeri Haight and Railroad avenues and Seventh an g;nm streets, to Hawhes & corner ot ' Mertens, $9500; ‘northwest Willow street and Buenw(Vista avenue, to Mre.

Citrus trees are to be | benefited, according to expectations, when the laboratory is In operation, the orange growers having in the past lost hundreds of thousands through scale and other parasitic pests that afflict the orchards. The appropriation bill which made the laboratory a possibility specified that the laboratory *‘shall provide the means for a therough examination of fungus, bac- | terial ‘and other maladies, Insects, pests and diseases, and their remedy or pre- vention; the condition of the soil; culti- vation and location that may tend to im- perfect nutrition and all psysiological and other defects that may affect the eco- nomic production and marketing of horti- cultural produets.” The laboratory must be located in one of the sevenmr southern counties of the State. The Commissfoners are empowered to select the location, to perfect title to it, and to pro®de for the purchase of lands or for the recelpt of lands as a gift. When the site has been fixed the regents of the university are directed by the appropriation act to proceed with the construction of a laberatory building, to maintain the laboratory, to receive and marage gifts, leases or bequests.

The yellow peril iz supposed to exist in the fact that after success in this war Ja- pan may form a combination with China against the West. The Japs, It 48 said, reinforced by the 400,000,000 of China, might cloge the East to for- eign trade and invade the West with irresjstible hordes. But what, it may be asked, would the great powers, in- cluding the United States, be doing all the while? The United States, England, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia would be united against a hos- f{ile Chinese-Japanese combine, and their navies could speedily smash the Japanese navy.
