This announcement is based on the statement of Secretary Stearns of the Oakland Board of Trade who has, for some time, been In conference with the projectors of the enterprise. The new Industry will be a cereal factory which, however, will I not be the only one of the kind in 'the county. Its location here has been inspired by the fact that the owners have been able to secure a favorable site on the waterfront where goods may be shipped and received both by rail and water, as also because of the success which has attended the enterprise of the other factories ih this line of Industry now operating in the county. Mr. Stearns also announces that another Industry which will give employment to many people, old and young, has secured an option for a ten years' lease of a site on the harbor but that definite arrangements have not yet been made for.

This number reported at the Board of Trade because it was through the efforts of that that they determined to iriake this their home.

One of the most remarkable growths made by real estate firms on the Coast is that of the Burr Pad don Inou. occupylng suites 3, 4. 6, 6 and 7 at 4 Montgomery street, over Central Trust Company, San Franolsco, California, This company, in the past two years, has grown from an infant to a young giant and is now favorably known by country land buyers in every State In the Union. Starting with a small office in San Francisco, a few. years ago.

this company has one of the largest and best-equipped offices in San Francisco, as also branch offices throughout the State, and correspondents throughout the world. This company introduced itself to the public by making a specialty of Pajaro Valley lands, and through its branoh office at Watsonville has placed many home-seekers In that beautiful spot. Later, the business grsw to such an ex tent that the Arm now makes sales all over the Paclflo Coast. The officers of the firm attribute their euocess to newspaper advertising and upright, honest dealing. This company, up to November uv au real estate business, but, at the wish of many of their clients who art holders of reel estate in the bay cities.

It has now added on a city department. In this new department the Burr-Fad-don Co. has taken into consideration ths fact that, by placing at the head of ths department two energetlo and honest young men. they would be bound to succeed. John F.

Lehners and Rudolph R. Bundsohu, who have been so honored, have each had about four years' business experience and are fully aware of ths difficulties surrounding their undertaking, but 'are as to their capabilities in handling same. Each jot these young men has a large circle of acquaintances. naving Deen tormeriy connected with the oldest and best houses in San Francisco, and any business entrusted to their care will receive prompt and careful' attention. 1 The investment department Is under the direction of L.

L. P. Atwood. an Investment broker of thirty years' ex perience. This department now has a colony plan whereby parties may eon-tribute their small- weekly or monthly savings an become co-partners in a large tract of land I near San FTanoisoo which is soon to be, thrown open for subdlvls Ion.

The advantageous location "corner of Montgomery and Sutter streets brings the firm into communication with hundreds of purchasers of property every day. Thoee wishing to buy or sell real estate or make an Investment can not possibly do better than give this enterprising firm a trial. 'LEASED BY MOHR A SON.

Mohr A Son have 'leased for five years the new building at 865 San Pablo avenue to Mrs. M. M. Malltor. The building contains fifty rooms.

Mrs. Malltor has furnished the building, and will conduct it as a first-class apartment house. The finishing is in neutral woods with paneled walls and the. latest improvements. The rental per year has not been stated.

A Herb VV. Edwsrds Injurs. Herb W. Edwards of Des Moines, Iowa, got a fall on an icy walk last winter, spraining his wrist and Devising his knees. "The next day," he says, "they were so sore and stiff I was afraid would have to stay in bed.

but I rubbed them well with Chamberlain's Pain" Balm and after a few applications all soreness ha-d disappeared. I feel that this bottle of Pain Balm saved me several days' time, to say nothing of the suffering."

Several hundred skilled men will be employed on the construction of the boats, which will represent an outlay of 3760,000.

The steamers will be fin ished In mahogany. They were de- union Iron Works and will have, a capacity of about 3000 horse power. ENGINEERS BUILD NEW SHOP. The United Engineering plant at the south side of the harbor is having added to it another machine Shop, 90x 150 feet, which will give employment to perhaps two hundred more men. Platform cars will, be run Into the building and a twenty-ton crane will be erected to load them with or un- load tnem of heavy niachiqery taken irom or Deing sent to snips undergoing repairs at the wharves.

This crane will have a forty-foot span and can lift an object to a height of thirty feet. A new track system is to be extended to all parts of the yards so that the product of the yards and shops may be received from and delivered to all parts of the plant. NEW IRON STEAMER. At these yards Dickie is soon to enter upon the construction of a big iron steamer for the Wilmington Transportation. The boat will ply between San Pedro and Avalon or Catallna Island.

ABANDON FIRST STREET ROUTE. The Southern Paciflc has recently bought a piece of ground between Its Alameda local track, a short distance south of Harrison street bridge, both on the east and west' sides of Webster street. This is for the purpose of building a curve to connect the Ala- xneda local track with the Webster line which runs to the mole at Alameda Point. TRACTION BLOCKS WAY. When this curve shall be laid it In expected that the Alameda, broad guage local will run to and from the Alameda mole Instead of to and from the broad gauge mole via First street in this city.

Alamedans say that scuh a change would result in a saving of ten minutes on run to San Francisco. At the place where this reverse curve will be laid, the Oakland Traction Company has laid rails of its new double-track of street car system on Webster street to Alameda, thus compelling the Southern Paciflc to bear the expense of maintaining the crossing after it shall have finished its work. ORE AT tAST ARRIVES. I The first shipment of magnesite from the mines on the road triubutary to Ldvermore to the works of the company located at the foot of Sixth avenue in this city has already been received and will await for a few weeks the installation of machinery of a most elaborate character for its reduction. This machinery, after a number of delays occasioned by the inability of the Eastern manufactories to supply it, has arrived.

i ENRICHMENT OF TOWNS. Now that 'the mineral has shown up another step has been taken toward the development of the land tributary to this city, which, of course, means the enrichment of both Oakland and Livermore, because it Is at the latter place that the product of the mines will be placed on the cars for shipment to this city. Livermore is, 'there fore, the midway station between the minu 'on rw.ir-Un4 mrti ii.m.a v- prosperity which she is already enjoy- ing by reason of her appreciation of the -merit of this. enterprise. The magnesite, as has been shown Jln-these columns from time totime, is brought from the mines to Livermore in large cars drawn by traction It is then placed on the cars of the Southern Paciflc Railroad Company and brought to this city.

The ore has to be blasted, It is almost impervious to the pick. The intention of the company here is to get supply of the ore on hand which shall be In excess of the daily capacity the works and to keep adding 'to it from a 4 VV 1 -1 Offices 3 WORK IN DETAIL.

Berkeley is still making a fine showing in the excellence of the new buildings, mainly which she is erecting, although i there has been, this week, a slight dropping below the value of the permits for new structures issued last week. Despite this fact, the average cost of the structures shows that the proposed buildings are of more, than ordinary attractiveness and completeness. The permits of the present -week, up to nocn yesterday, permitted the erection of buildings of the value of $24,580, the average value being Only one permit called for a structure costing fewer than $1,000. The permits were as follows: One for $2,500, one for $2,250, one forj $2,000, two for $1,965, three for $1,950, one for $1,800, one for $1,550, one for'r $1,500, and one each for, $1,400, $1,000 and $800. TOP-NOTCH IN TRANSFERS.

Last Saturday, in this department, THE TRIBUNE Joyfully announced that the record-week of documents rec orded In the office of County Recorder Grim had, at length, been reached, be cause the total number of Instruments filed during that period was 6681 Which was an increase -of fifty over that of the preceding week. But, last week's filings pale when compared with those of this week, which, for the sake of this publication, closed yesterday at noon. Up to that hour, there passed over the receiving desk in County Red order Grlm's office, 710 Instruments, an Increase over those recorded last week of forty-two. KINDS OF INSTRUMENTS. Some of these Instruments, -it is true, were mortgages, but it is a pleasure to state, after inspection of th list, that few of them were of that character, although a mortgage, nowadays, is not always an evidence of distress.

Regardless of this fact, however, the number of mortgages was counterbalanced by the release of mortgages which is a sign of property which cannot be repudiated. In the main, therefore, the other instruments showed transfer of property and tells a tale which will not be told by the modesty of the dealers In realty who brought about this, result. This is a remarkable showing when one considers that, at the Baroe in the eastern part of the country, many people who may be able "to set a little aside" are putting the same into the hands of the coal-dealer to keep the cold from the door. TRIBUNE'S 'RECORD. THE TRIBUNE'S record of transfers for this week closed yesterday (Friday) at noon, and extended backward to Friday noon of last.

During that period the daily filings of Instruments were as follows: Friday afternoon last week. 63 Saturday, last week 88 Monday ..1............... 100 Tuesday 155 Wednesday 118 Thursday 131 Friday morning 65 SEND POSTAL CARDS. Since the reference made In these columns a week ago to the illuminated postal cards showing up the beauties of this city, there has been a great Increase in the demand for these, eloquent means of advertising the attractiveness of Oakland. In.

all the drug stores and stationery, stores in which these cards are handled the stock has had to be increased, because where formerly onlyten were dispos ed of, now a hundred are sold, and do a great deal of good In showing people at a distance the wealth of natural scenery, verdure and flowers which abound here at alt seasons of the year. These cards are printed in many colors, and sell at the rate of two for five cents, or ten for a quarter of a dollar. Since the original notice referring to these cards appeared several new cards have been added to the selection, so that no person will have any difficulty In finding something which will satisfy his taste, pleae his friends at a distance, and may be the means of Inducing people to take up their abode In this city. MORE FACTORIES COMING. Another industry jsrill shortly be lo cated on Oakland Sarbor.

which, means the employment of a number, of opera tives and the utilization of a product of the soli which can be found la, Ala' $15,000 upon the purchase price, which $35,000. Their purchase was made only a few months ago. The, present owner is T. W. Corder, who will erect upon the site a four-story building.

It is expected that the structure will be used as a furniture tore- ji AN NUANCE OF DEALERS. There is no realty dealer who has not a number of nrolects on hand and. on many of these, deposits have been made. Sales' are taking place every day despite the fact that considerable annoyance la, experienced by dealers, sometimes because of the alleged misdoing of a brother realty man and sometimes by the lack of feeling, as is displayed by would-be purchasers. 'Publicity of says one dealer, "is It prevents the possi-'blllty of later sale of the same piece tPf property at anjidvance, because the otherwise would-be purchaser has learned through -the press what the parcel was last sold for." Per contra another dealer said to THE TRIBUNE representative: "We have( no difficulty In getting buyers.

What we do "have a difficulty In fljndlng I are sellers. That sounds strangely, doesn't it? Well, it's fact." i ASKING HIGHER PRICES, i'" This would seem to indicate a ten JI .1. 1 .1 1 uviny uu iucr ai i ui iiviuciQ ui 1 realty to ask firm prices for their holdings. This, of course, is to be ex-i -pected but, at the same time, it does 1 not foreshadow any of the features of "boom" Indiscretion. Realty has, of course, appreciated in value, but a 1 conservative estimate of that appre-1 elation does not show that moderation has been exceeded.

4 INCREASE IN VAtUES. The writer, a "few days ago, saw a man. shake his head when! asked if he would accept $100,000 for some property on San Pablo, avenue south of Sixteenth street and, later, heard him say: "No, I wouldn't accept that, poor as I am." The speaker was far from poor. He was not offered $100,000 for his A realty man was simply striving to ascertain at what price the Lproperty In question could be purchased if a' buyer should come along. The dealer, however, expressed no opinion as to the.

reasonableness or otherwise of the ultimatum of, the holder. RAISE IN OLD HOTEL SITE. Indication of an Increase in the valuation of property in another section-was brought to the attention of THE TRIBUNE by W. Laymance, who. said, in discussing the subject: "Take, for instance, the property on Twelfth, "between Oak' and Madison streets, which, little more than a year ago was bonded for ia hotel site at $43,000.

That has since been sold and 're-sold and now it is selling for double the price it was bonded for when the hotel project wai being considered." STEAMERS BUILDING HERE. In the shipyards of James Dickie tb south side of the estuary, work has been begun on the tw new ferry steamers which are intended to supplement the present fleet comprising the Terba Buena, San Jose and San Francisco now on the jkey Route The Jteel of on is on the way and that of the other will be laid in ten days. This will be pleasing ln-vtelllgence. because an Impression 'obtained tli at. the steamers would be built further up the coast.

Each of these boats Will be 203 feet long, 36 fiect beam. 60 feet over guards, with a depth of 22 feet. They will run once and a half as fast as the San Francis which' is the fastest boat on the bay.

finally 'impelled him to make his home here. His example influenced his parents and the result has already been set forth. i DEVELOPMENT IN COUNTY. Gratification is felt over the purchase of the Merriwa mnch near Pleasanton, which was formerly known as the home of Count Valensln, as also of a number of 'blooded among them Sidney. After Valensln passed away R.

E. de B. Lopez took hold of the place, ran it for several years and finally sold It to James Butler of New i York who has now, in turn, sold it to T. H. Jermyn, a wealthy coal miner of Pennsylvania who has a fine stud, members of which he will immediately ship to the famous place.

This purchase means a continuance of Pleasanton as the home of fleet steeds. W. H. and Annie Donahoe have t.ans- ferred to Peter Kroeger 43.86 acres near Pleasanton in this county. D.

M. Kirkcaldy, late of Chicago, has purchased from L. Atkinson his twenty-flve acre vineyard, orchard and the residence unon the same in the Berkeley colony, near Livermore and will here after make his home there. The5 Haywards Review is making an earnest effort to Induce the people in that eitv to build more concrete side walks. The same paper says that this has been a phenomenal year tor tomatoes In that section.

Alameda has enterprising citizens and improvements clubs. She has a water front which Is gradually attracting to It manufacturing establishments. In order to reach these manufactories, a move is being made over there to open streets to the water front.

A move is also being made to have ah election called for the adoption of a new charter. Still another move which Is being made on the other sfde of the harbor is that of establishing a system of keeping a record of the buildings which are erected In the place. The absence of such a record has precluded the possibility of THE TRIBUNE showing, from week to week, the same as It does With both this city arid Berkeley, the number of permits for new structures which are taken out day by day. These permits show the amount of progress each of those cities makes from every week. According to the statement of an.

Alameda official some weeks ago, any person so disposed may put up a building without permission of the municipality, subject only to sanitary regulations, and compliance with these regulations or otherwise is determined by the sanitary inspector. CHANGE FOR PERMITS. This Inspection would enable the municipality to ascertain. In a general way, how many buildings had been put up in a given period, but no accurate knowledge could be obtained as regards the structure save such as the anitary inspector might feel disposed, without being so required, to enter upon his books. Citizens and Trustees are therefore acting upon suggestion of THE TRIBUNE and moving to so amend the law as to require people who pro- pose to erect buildings to take out permits for the work and to have the same recorded by some af the municipal officers.

When this desederatum shall have been attained, the weekly progress in the building line of the Island City will be chronicled in THE TRIBUNE. BUILDING IN OAKLAND. The record of building permits this week exceeds that of any week of the present year. It reaches a total of $125,364, as-against $63,227 tor last week. One of the features of this showing Is.

the permit for a new round house for the Southern Paciflc Railroad near. Oakland Point, which Is ta cost $71,000. As.
