TO EXTENDxJQOTVlLL ROAD TO CONNECT TEK-STORY ON BROAOW i TO EASTERN The new foothill road is to be extended to Oakland, on the eastern limits of the city. This will have the effect of Inspiring the- municipality, 'in its new development, to eventually designate some thoroughfare as a boulevard to connect with the great drive which the county will bring to the entrance of this city.

The foothill road, which Is sometimes called the Oakland Scenic Boulevard, starts at High street and runs thence easterly, the Objective point being Hay-ward. has now been completed to a point near San Ieandro and is really one of the finest drives in the A.

On the one hand, there are the foothills of the Sierras In clos proximity, the conformations, of which are always pleasant to the and, on the other, there is always within view the placid waters of the bays of San Leandro and San Francisco. The roadway has a width' of fifty feet.

Tha surfaca of the- road is aa I smooth as a floor, and. as a consequence, it la- a nlaaanre to ride oyer it, as many people oo every aay ana especially on Sunday. The roadway has well constructed gutters and curbs on either side, and at intervals there are hydrants provided, by means of which water can bs secured for the sprinkling of the surface so as to keep the thoroughfare in a perfect condition. At places the line crosses- creeks of considerable slie.

but it Is, protected fronv-eroslon by means of massive and well-constructed bridges and culverts. GRANT OF RIGHT OF WAY. The land upon which the road Is built was donated to the county, the grant being conditional that the boulevard should be forever closed to the operation of street cars. OLD COUNTY ROAD. I wae regretted by many people that the boulevard' was not begun at the eastern limits of the olty and thence continued toward Hayward.

At that time, however, Prescott street, or the old county road, which leads up I roll which has been In progress for some itlme past before the Board of Supervisors tslttmg a CountjTfeoard of Equalization mas revealed In' a convincing manner the changes which have taken part in the territory south of Seventh street and particularly. In that 'Quarter ly? ing east of Broadway. A cursory examination of the rolls when considered In the light of they evidence adduced In the hearing of such protests against4 assess-' ments as have been mad will convince the most skeptical that the county asses sot has. erred on the side bfthe property-owner In every instance in establishing the values for taxable purposes. These- have been advanced ail along the line.

It is true, but they could have been easily doubled and In some casestrebled without doing atoy' injustice' to th tax-paying property-owners, f-j Tv VALUES ON LOWERFRANKLlN.f In the case of a protest against the assessment of a piece of Franklin street property for $20,000, for example, it was clearly shown 'by expert testimony (that such property was worth anywhere from $35,000 the lowest expert appraisement to $60,000 the highest and that a corresponding lot nearer the water front cannot be bought, t0T $65,000, although the aame changed ownership before the movement in values in that section of the city besan, within the past fifteen months, for $8000. Property that section is no longer based on its actual earning powers, but on Its possible earning powers when sultabVe modern improvements are erected upon it. Land east of lower Broadway is all too valuable now for cheap and worn-out dwellings, and if such structures are allowed to remain upon it the owner Is akne responsible, for the fact that a larger revenue is not derived from It. A WHOLESALE THOROUGHFARE. Franklin street has been developing during the past year frem Fourteenth to First street as a big hotel, wholesale manufacturing thoroughfares and an enormous business has been developed on it which is steadily growing.

is itrtte that heretofore an inferior class of buildings devoted to inferior purposes have occupied it, but an era of displacement has set in and new buildings of a permanent and substantial character "are crowding out the old rookeries, Indisputable evidence of increased property values. Sagacious property owners on this thoroughfare are awakening to the realisation that their land has grown too valuable all of a sudden to remain as it has keen, carrying a poor class of improvements, and that all that is necessary In order to produce revenues commensurate with; the new values of these later days is to put up substantial building of durable materials suitable for business uses. Those property-owners who neglect to do this will simply be compelled to niake way for new owners possessing a Juster comprehension of new conditions and sufficiently enterprising to properly utilise them for their own profit- I Best Medicine In the World for Code and Dlarrhoes. find Chamberlains Colic; Cholera and Diarrhoea to the best remedy In the world," says Mr. C.

It could never be appropriately styled a bouib-vard. It was for this" reason that the new thoroughfare was begun at High atreet and on -property grants which enabled the road to be built on liberal proportions.

OBSTACLE REMOVED. The objection to using the old county, road as the Initial point of the bonis-', which existed originally, has now. been removed, the property owners on the north side of the street having vol-, untarily granted to the county for road purposes ten feet of the land abutting' on the thoroughfare; This donation gives Prescott street a width of seventy Instead of sixty-test es before and this will enable tha boulevard to be continued to the city limits with a driveway of fifty fee and a walk or 'nieet on eiiner siae. another section of this department a ow A i its extension to Oakland, will pass. 1 The Charming Woman is not necessarily one of perfect form' and features.

A. M. Salinger' formerly member of the firm of Salinger Brothers, which sold out-, the stock, good will and lease at Tenth and Washington streets to Halo Brothers, and who has Just returned from a year's absence in Europe, is considering such a project. The matter was brought to his attention by Architect McDougell. who designed the St.

Mark's Hotel. In speaklngvof the matter to representative of THE TRIBUNE. Mr. Salinger said: "Nothing is yet definitely known in this regard. The project has been 'brought to me by people who have been connected with the construction of the the St.

Mark's Hotel. It Is not known yet how much it would cost to put up at structure of that kind. I mustistry that, I am inclined to favor such a scheme upon a satisfactory showing as to cost and returns, but it is too early yet to give a decision. There is one thing at least in its favor. Only a law months' notice would be reqslred to be given to the tenants before commencing work." The site in question is now covered by a two-story trnoture.

It is owned by the mother Of Mrs. Salinger. If a new building should be decided upon, it would require the' abandonment of their present Quarters by: J. P. Taylor, coal dealer; William Kent, saloon; B.

Annually, they pro duce millions of tons of fruit and vegetables of all kind and. of these. by means of the boats of the company referred to Alameda county will be able to-secure Its share direct from the farmer and horticulturist. 8AVE8 HANDLING. This will be a great advantage because, heretofore, all the products of these valleys which are consumed here have had to go to Ban Francisco ana then to be shipped here, some hours, In some instances, tba greater of a day, after Its arrival on the 'other sMe of the bay.

This necessitated two handlings before the products' could reach the consignee. When the fruit and vegetables were bought by the commission men In San Fran-tlBco the local merchant was compelled to experience the annoyance and loss of time of going to San Francisco for the purpose of making his select tlon. fBr the time the Ban Francisco commission men who had a first choice of the cargo, had made their selection. there was little left for consumption on this side of the bay save 4he poorer grade of stuff which the San Francisco consumer did not care to use.

ARPER'S VIEW.

Regarding the past, present and the promising future of, the freight business in Oakland harbor, George Arper. proprietor of the Arper Transportation Company at Webster-street wharf, said today: "The commercial activity of Oakland cannot he better Illustrated than by comparing the transbay freight trafflo of today with what it was two years ago. At that time. In addition to the regular hourly boats of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company operating In the harbor from the foot of Broadway, there was but one comiuuiv otmratin one stnamer. Today there are three companies operat ing nve vessels namely, tne nper-Aaen-Goodall Company.

The Oakland Trans portation Company and the Arper Trans- poria-cion company. VOLUME OF BUSINESS. volume of business Bode fav either one of these companies Is far In excess oi mat aone by the one company engaeed two years ago and at times the capacity of all is fully taxd. MORE BOATS. "Two of the compnhlea are now contemplating the construction of additional boats better fitted to handle the rapidly Increasing business a business that embraces such a variety of freight that the ordinary stnam or gasoline propelled boat Is not equipped to handle ft expeditiously and at tho same time eoonomloaUy.

"Rvery factory that locates on this side of the bay increases the traffic. This, combined with the rapidly increasing population, explains the wonderful development of this particular line of business. I RIVER TRAFFIC. "In addition to the transbay service, the California Transportation Company is operating two large steamers between Oakland. Stockton and Sacramento river points.

brlnglDg directly to this market the products of the rich bottom lands skirting the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, and, at the same time, affording an opportunity for the manufacturers and jobbers to land their goods in the Interior at "competitive water rates. EXPANSION PERMANENT. "The expansion of the commerce of Oakland is permanent and depends upon no outside Influence for its continuance or greater development. She holds the forces within herself to either advance or decline, and it depends largely upon the public policy pursued which It shall be. "Business travels in the direction of least resistance and should not be hampered or unreasonably taxed.

With a liberal policy welcoming traffic and commerce, to our aarbor the near future will show substantial gains over the excellent record of the past year."

Plans Finally Adopted for the Flection of a Model Structure Unequaled id 'the CoufttSyl W. A. Horn, secretary of the Toung Men's Christian reports that the officers of the Organisation and the architects, of the new building to be erected by it on the northwest cornet of Twenty-first street and Telegraph avenue, Howard Galloway, have been working together for months on the production of plans of a building which will be Ideal for the purposes of the association. Several sets of drawings of the various floors have been made and each one in turn is revised and altered in order to produce Just what was wanted. AN INTERIOR PROBLEM SOLVED The main- problem the-archttects were required to solve was an arrangement of the basement floor so that the three departments devoted to dresstng-rooms, shower baths and looker of the boys, business men and young men should be distinctly separated from one another and he equally accessible to the nna-eium on the one hand and to the shimming pool on the other, and keep the pool, and the "gym" apart also.

The architects admitted that thev were up against the most difficult problem they have never before encountered In their professional career. "Wrf had been tolC," said Mr. Horn, "that such an arrangement could not be made. But in the plans winch have been finally accepted. It has been accomplished to perfection, and our building will be the first one country, we are proud to.

say, in which the problem has been satis-, factorily solved." SWIMMING POOL AND swimming pool will occupy one end of the basement floor, 2ox6u. Tifr gymnasium. will occupy one-halt 2f othr end and the rear of the building. Between these two will be a separate set of dressing rooms, shower a.t.n" lockers for the young men. Adjoining this will be a similar department for business men, and adjoining tha here wlu be a Ilke department for Each, of these departments will be distinctly separate from one another and each will have direct access, on the one side to the swimming pool, and on the other to the "gym." Under the gymnasium will be a sub-basement for bowling alleys "the only part of the building." said Mr.

Horn, 'which will not be ekposed to the direct sunlight: It has been our aim te get all the sunlight into the building that it is possible to obtain, as we recognise that sunlight is conducive to good health: and. one of the objects of the association, yo uknow, is to promote physical perfection and good health." FIRST FLOOR ARRANGEMENT. On the first floor there will be a practically open area 68x14 feet for lobbv. billiard tables and social rooms, in which will be a large open fireplace. Adjoining this will be offices and board rooms, barber shop, business men's clubroom.

grill and lunch counter and the running track of the gymnasium. Then above will be a meesanine floor containing the bov's department, social and class rooms, the upper part of the gymnaBlum and a rooting gallery for the boys. SECOND FLOOR. The educational department, with Its class and study rooms, library and offices, will occupy the front part of this floor. Adjoining this will be the state committee offices, camera clubrooms and a lecture hall seating about 260.

And to the rear in the roof of the gymnasium, the center of which will be occupied by two large skylights, and, at either end. will be a handball court, 24x60. These courts will be roofed and above the walnscotting the outer side of each court will be open, but screened, however, to prevent the escape of the ball. This arrangement of the handball courts assures them an outdoor effect. THE DORMITORIES.

The third and fourth floors will be given up to dormitories, with a section In the front of the upper floor which will answer the purpose of a roof garden and social room. COST OF THE BUILDING. The association is prepared to spend I2u0.000 on the building, and the architects are preparing the detail plans to keep within this limit. CHANGES TO THE EXTERIOR. The adoption of the revised plans of the interior has necessitated material changes in the external arrangement of the building.

The. architects are at present developing a new elevation and rush. ing forward the working ground plans Inl wurr uwi me cmni.ion oi tne lot, wnicn Is 124 feet on Telegraph avenue and 10 feet on Twenty-first street, may be proceeded with. It Is expected that the working foundation plans will be ready in a month, wtypa excavation will begin; but it is not expected that the erection of the main part of the building, which will consist of five floors (as the so-called basement floor will be only about two feet below the ground level) arid a mezzanine, earlier than the fall months: The Young Men's Christian Association building will, however, be one of the handsomest and -most substantial additions to Oakland's modern structures, which are rapidly multiplying. tt tttimii ij taehed to them have been sold during tbe The San ford Bennett home -at 1311 Buena Vista, has been disposed of and It Is understood that it will be used aa a home for a church society.
