Cragmont, Berkeley's recently opened hillside tract.

The property la situated on the western slope of the North Berkeley hills and has one of the most distinctive sweeps of hill and marina panorama obtalnabla from any point on the coast. Eugent Brock, secretary and treasurer of the Ferrler-Brock Company, agents for the property, points out that the unusual success met with in disposing of Cragmont lots is especially gratifying at a tim when thcra is a tendency toward a Blacken mobiles?

The crowd began to come In at :30 In the morning and the day, which had threatened to be cloudy, dawned fair and bright, revealing from the heights the beautiful vista of Oakland, Fruitvale, Elmhurst, San Francisco bay and the Mils. By noon Toler Heights tract, in every portion, was thronged with visitors.

The activity of the sales was totally unprecedented and far excelled the hopes of the company. Buyers from San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda, Elmhurst, Fruitvale and other cities were shown in the addresses of the purchasers which were compiled at the close of the day. A Los Angeles real estate dealer who has handled soma of the biggest real estate openings In the southern city stated that never In the history of Los Angeles had the first opening of any tract been attended by so large and representative a crowd, or had he ever known so large a percentage of actual buyers. ''I handled," said he, "a big tract at the Kedondo opening, near Los Angeles, which was the biggest real estate division ever opened in the Los AngelPS district, but this opening up here beats it all." Other visitors expressed similar surprise at ths size of the crowd. At noon the tract showed up like a barbecue festival.

Dinner was served some lively airs, and hundreds of small boys sold popcorn and peanuts to the good-natured well-drt-ssi'd men and women who made up the throng. Toler Heights Is one of the finest suburban tracts that has been opt-ned to the public in a long time. The entire tract, consisting of over li0 acres, lies within 26 minutes of the business center of Oakland. Grading and construction teams were busy on the tract yesterday and within ninety days the streets will be completed and water pipes laid, whiU) work will have begun upon the street car line right through the tract for which a franchise has been applied for. "The size of this opening and ths character of the buyers are an amazingly pleasant surprise," said a member of the Southwestern Company yesterday.

"We were expecting a crowd, for the property is a meritorious one. But nothing like this. We believe the investments made double the value of the property of thosa who bought." Toler Heights will mark a new and attractive suburb of Oakland. It already possesses all facilities of schools, transportation, churches and fine homes. The management has advertised the property widely and will continue until all the lots are sold.

The price ranges from $400 to $1,200, at ten per cent down and one per cent a month, no Interest and no taxes. During the past week a large number of lots were sold in addition to those contracted for on the opening day. The Southwestern Securities Company the past week has arranged to give a free house to one of the lot owners, and this will Include all who have purchased lots already and the people who have arranged to purchase now and for those who will purchase from this time on up to a certain date which the erty who have heretofore been exejua-ed from doing so. Many people with a small amount of money and unable to pay but small monthly installments, have been prevented' from Investing In realty altogether or have been forced to acquire an Inferior class of property. In Cragmont, on the contary, they have found a class of property that always attractive, lots on the kill-side having an unexcelled view! ot fan Francisco bay anil the Golden Gate.

The building restrictions are placed at $1,000, which means that one can build a desirable bungalow and know that he will not run the risk of having uninviting shacks erected alongside of him. The Cragmont Land Company ihas arranged to have car lines run directly through the tract, the franchises for which are expeoted to be granted within the next few months. At the present tlmo the ears run within tour blocks at the entrance ot the property, i Building has already commenced at'' Cragmont, and it is believed that Spring will witness the laying of soores of foundations for new homes.

Russia's "Undesirable Citizens." Speaking of the recent loans to Russia, the American "Israelite" says; "It la pleasant to note that after the bankers of the entire civilized world had tacitly agreed that no further Russian loan should be placed unless it had been authorized by the douma, that those who ignored the understanding and committed a fresh crime against the unfortunate Russian people are neither Jews nor Christians. The Bleichroeders and Mendelsohns who allowed themselves to be used for this infamous purpose are the hybrid offspring of apostates from both religions, and neither is responsible for their offense against humanity. They are in the superlative degree 'undesirable I.etters of Garibaldi.

The Olornale d'ltalla publishes several hitherto unpublished short letters of Garibaldi, written by the famous general to Mrs. Caroline Glffard Philip-son, a rich Englishwoman, who had developed an entliusiam for the destinies of Italy, and almost worshiped Giuseppe Garibaldi. Inl866 she went so far as to charter a vessel to save Garibaldi from the surveillance of the Italian government, but, as a matter of fact, only succeeded in getting him Into difficulties with the police. One of these letters, dated October 20,1870, reads: "I was favorable to Prussia, when she combated Bonaparte. In overthrowing him she has been the cause of great happiness to the world.

To-day I am with the French Republic, for I regard its cause as the cause of human right. And I do not doubt that the generous minds In England will ultimately share my opinion."

Like all sections in this part of the bay region, the climatic conditions and Inviting surroundings appeal to a large class of investors, Hayward being a natural community for homesteads. Harry L. Holcomb, president of the Holcomb Realty Company, discussing the realty aspect of this suburban district, said: "It is a pleasure to sell property which starts a person on the road to making money. So many thousands of salaried people and wage earners have an idea that because they cannot command a large sum of money It becomes impossible for them to purchase real estate where the values are constantly increasing.

Then if you can fro a step further and Induce these same people to locate on the property, even in a very humble way, In a surprisingly short time where they are thrifty the humble home becomes surrounded with beauty in the way of shrubbery and gold-making fruits and vegetables. "I met a man the other day who decided to start out for himself, and today he has Just such a home as I have pictured above, and one remarkable feature is that he has saved enough money in rent and otherwise practically to pay for his home. On top of this he told me with a good deal of pleasure that he was now able to make a hundred per cent profit on his investment. He has done so well that he is now about to dispose of his property, purchase a larger piece of ground and do it again.
