Lots in the Redwood Park tract were advertised ror sale for the first time on Saturday,. March 31, and vesterday the last lot in the tract was sold. =%, = ‘Nearly all the lots were purchased by Fruitvale people, who elther intend to buildshomes of their own at once on the tract or to hold thepproperty for a raise in vaiue. W. T..Grubb, president of the Grubb Real Estate Company, said today that the real estate business in Fruitvale Is more active at present than it has been at any time within the last ten years. He declared that the principal factor in this condition has been the re- cent locating of several large manufae- enterprises in - Fruitvale. The company will place another large tyact of land located on the line of the new boulevard on the market next week. Following is a partial list of the lots sold in the Redwood Park tract last week by the Grubb Real Estate Com- pany: F. W.

The San Jose Cement Block Company has recently fi'ed articles of incorpora- ‘tion in Alameda County and has estab- lished an office at 1324 Fruitvale avenue. This company has just completed the erectign of a factory at Putnam and Washington streets in Fruitvale for the iiof conerefe hollew for usé in the construetion or all kinds of bufldings.. Contracts have been se- cured to furnish blocks for the construe- tion of handsome residences in Fruitvale for P. H. Zappetiini, a well-known San Francisco' banker, and Dr. Armstrong, also of San Francisco. Oakland real estate dealers report that while there have been few unusually large sales of property in the last week the number of transfers of residence property has been greater than that of the corrésponding period of any year in the bistory of Oakland. Two of the largest sales of the week are reported by George W. Austin, these being the transfer of the Fashion Stables on Broadw: be- tween Seventh and Eighth streets, which was purchased by Louis Schaffer, who for several years has occupied the prop- erty, and of the new three-story brick building on Franklin street, between Ninth and Tenth, which was sold to H. T. Gear for Falph W. Kinney. In -discussing the present condition of the real estate market today, Mr. Austin said: A notable fact concerning our business dur- ing the last week is that nearly all our sai of emall residence property have bsen made to workingmen, who are tired of paving rent and are determined to secure homes of their own. Many of these purchasers have been employes of large local corporations, but about one-third are newcomers to Oakland. No particular part of the city has been especially favored by these buyers, who must, of necessity, locate as nearly as pessible to their places’of employment. Here are a number of the sales made last week: Lot 125x100, with old ~improvements, between Washington and Cl for Mrs. T. Mathias to J. H.

A score and more of the most promi- nent men of the unmiversity faculty, in- cluding Professors Hilgard, Jacques Loeb, Thomas Bacon, Willard E. Ris- ing, Charles Mills Gayley, William Dal- lam Armes and others were among the attendants at the service. Rev. E." L. Parso rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, read the prayer service of the Episcopal ritual. MacCallum as one who lived and both worlds. and who, with mind se- rene and soul at peace, did that which was appointed for him to do, and then returned to his Lord. his work well done, and his task approved of all Professor Jacaques Loeb. whose as- sistant John Bruce MacCallum was, spoke of his dead colieague in the fol- lowing words: During his last fliness Dr. MacCallum wished to return to Berkeley. He often told me Jbe was happy here and statea that the happiest hours of his last three years were spent in this room. Dr. MacCallum entered upon his work here with serious difficuities in two di- rections: an lliness which restricted his work- ing hours and a previous rraining in anatomy Instead of in physiology. Notwithstanding these difficulties hardly a week passed during the first year and a haif without his reporting & new and often a very surprising discovery It even that condition of health which existed during the first year has continued he would have rapldly become one of the leading physi- clogists in this country. A powerful sense of reality and an equally tertile imagination were combined in him and were the source of his success. Those who have known Dr. MacCallum as well as I have will realize that he was one of the most beau- tiful characters that ever lived. He did his scientific work because it was a source of the most supreme happiness, the gratification of the artistle and creative instinct. He did not pose as a benefactor of mankind and he did not celculate what effect the result of his work would have upon his career or his fame. He cared, however. for the sympathy of those of his fellow workers, whom he re- spected. He himself was moet sympathetic to others, ot because he thought that this was his duty. but because he could not be othes- seise. .1 hmye,mever beasd him utter a com- plaint thmum bis illness, although as a physi- clan hs must have realized its nature. Others may have wondered as I did at the calmmess with which he carried his burden. I believe each day had for him iis postry of working and dreaming. and this sufficed l'or him.
