The car, which: is the first exhibit of the kind, is now at the Union station and it is attracting marked attention. A representative of the United States Conservation Congress today requested that the car be sent to Indianapolis when the conservationists meet there in national convention.

Interest In Kensington Park Increases daily, so Dodge ver Mehr Company, the agents of this scenie tract In the lower North Berkeley foothills, report. The inquiry, they stataty comes not only from local sources bur' from the middle states and also from the. far-off eastern states. This would Indicate that at least a number of the vast Influx of population preceding the Panama-Pacific Exposition are even now interested In the selection of homesltes. The wonderful scope of the marine view obtained from the residence parks on these lower elevations of the beautlful Berkeley hills have given to this par- tlcular district an almost world-wide notoriety.

The chain of residence tracts extending northward from the depots of the Southern Pacific and Key Route lnterurban electric trains have vied with one another In the class and character of street Improvements Installed and the general beautifying of their several properties, with the result that they made an addl-.

Within 4g hoars of the attempted assault he had bean arreated. waived a nrellmlnary hearing and ehow.d dlanoaitimi twenty-five speeches and stood face to face with 100,000 people, more or less. He said that he was delighted at the warmth of his reception everywhere and was surprised at the encouraging reports In states which have been considered doubtful. As Indicating that the governor was In a fighting mood, he had only to be told when he reached his home that he had been Invited to address two meetings In opposition to the candidacy of James Smith for United States senator from New Jersey, to announce Instantly that he would accept.

Consequently he ar rived In Jersey City at 8 o'clock and was on the platform facing an audience of 8000 a few minutes later. As soon as he had finished speaking the governor was whisked to Hoboken, where he addressed an equally large audience at St Mary's Hall. He said: "I am here in the perform an oe of what seems to me a plain dutj which I cannot escape. I must remind you again that when I was elected governor of New Jersey It was upon a distinct understanding that I was responsible for the leadership of the Democratic party, that It was my duty as well as my privilege to come'- before audiences of my fellow citizens and tell them what seemed to me to be the Interests of the party and what the Interests of the state demanded.

"The United States la not choosing men now by their private characters, for their llkablllty, because they are fine fellows; but because they understand the interests of America at this present moment. "Many a man bred In the old school of. politics is being rejected now, not because he does not hold his convictions honestly, but because he holds convictions from which the country has turned away. We are at a critical Juncture In the history of America and In the history of the Democratic party. There Is only one con- ditlon upon which the Democratic party' can gain the confidence of the nation.

That is that it Should have ltselt thoroughly and absolutely committed to progressive policies. Just so certainly as it turns dsck. Just so Certainly as It makes any other choice, it will be rejected now and need I have no hope whatever of being chosen again for our generation.

This would show an Increase In the real estate values between 1900 and 1910 of nearly 300 per cent In reading these figures It must be kept In mind that the assessor val uation Is theoretically 80 per cent of the actual value of the real property. XEW RETTSIOTf.

A revision of assessments now going on Is expected to add more than 000.000 to the real estate totals. The larger portion of this Increase has come during the last dozen years. The final settlement of the title of the city to Its water front and the control thereof was decided during this decade. Not only by this decision of the court In the water front case was the confidence In the investing public In the early Improvement and full use of the water front established, but It was shown by the eagerness of the great railroad corporations of the country to get terminals on the Oakland shore that these land carriers were confirmed In their belief that the Oakland water front was to become a valuable factor In the commerce of the world. RAILROADS ENTER.

During the decade, while the real property of Oakland was advancing In value from 1 2 S. 000,000 to more than $110,000,000 two great transcontinental railroads entered Oakland. The first of these was the Santa Fe, In 1904, and the other was the Western Pacific, In August, 1910. It may be of Interest and of value to the student to have a recapitulation of the manner in which the water-carried commerce Of Oakland Increased during the period consld ered herein. In 1874, Just preceding the commencement of the govern ment work on the harbor, which has been referred to, the total commerce passing over Oakland wharves, Including and all other water-carried business, amounted to 164, 000 tons.

In 1890, sixteen years afterwards, the water-carried commerce passing over Oakland wharves amounted to approximately 440, 000 tons. During the period from 1874 to 1890, the government had expended approximately $2,560,000 on the Improvement of Oakland harbor. During the year 1910 water-carried commerce passing over Oakland wharves amounted to 4,089,000 tons. The Increase during that decade being nearly equal to the total tonnage handled In 1890. CAUSE OF INCREASE.

In endeavoring to discover the causes which underlie the Increase and maintenance of the valuation of city real estate, It Is recognized that many factors must be considered. Unquestionably, density of population Is worthy of notice. On the other hand, it may be very properly questioned whether the Increased density nt rninultttlnn fa a. inttmrn ni wli.th.i It Is an effect dependent upon a more potent cause responsible for Increase of business and consequent enhancement of property values. Unquestionably the Increase In population In Oakland and the east bay shore communities, daring the last thirty years has been largely Influenced by the larger osage of the water front and the confidence of settlers In a still more comprvlwnHlve development of the facilities of handling water-carried commerce.

In fact, the accelerated Increase of the population of the east bay shore communities daring the decade from 1900 to 1010 ts at least worthy 6f note, and Is remarkable for it coincidence with the occurrence relating to Oakland harbor development. SEVEN MUJiTCIPALITTKfl. On the east bay shore of the Bay of Ban Francisco there are located seven separate municipalities. These seven are in a compact body, having common avenues of travel and transportation. The streets or avenues or Iglnatlng In any one city run through the whole area; street car' lines and lnterurban transportation lines are all organized with the Idea that the seven are but parts of one whole.

In fact, for business, social and all purposes, except that of political government, these communities are wne. They, In the order of their population, are Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Richmond, Emeryville, Piedmont and Albany. In 1880, according to the federal census, the population of these seven municipalities and the territory now occupied by them amounted to 40,363. In 1890 this population had grown to 65,810, an increase of 60.9 per cent for the whole area, In 1900 the population of the area had increased- to 98,869, an Increase during the decade of 49.6 per cent, fn 1910 the population of the area had grown to 225,869, an increase during the decade of 129.8 per cent. It Will be noted that while there has been for the of the thirty years ft steady Increase, the Compare' With Other Property The value of anything is determined by comparison.

Buying property is a very Important step. See- that you make comparison of property and prices before you buy. Tou can purchase a half-acre lot in Broadmoor for $2760. The lots average l(Ht by 200 feet Suburban property near Broadmoor Is selling for $700 to $800 for a lot 25 by 100 feet It takes eight of these small lots to equal a Broadmoor half acre. To buy an equal amount of land In these other tracts you must purchase eight lots, which will cost $5600 to c40o.

But th half acre In Broadmoor costs you only $2750--a caving of over one half. i- The S. P.

Some of the Improvement work on the Oakland harbor now In progress is ths Construction of 8000 feet of quay wall along the estuary and 7000 feet of quay wall on the west waterfront by the city government of Oakland. Two million and a half dollars already appropriated is be-In expended on the preliminary work.

Corporations and firms leasing from the city are putting in Improvements on the waterfront which. will entail the expenditure of fifteen to eighteen million dol lars. Within two years Oakland will have eight miles of waterfront equipped with the best of modern appliances for handling freight with every facility for loading from the hold of the vessels Immediately onto the cars alongside. OAKLAND HOME CITY. Oakland has been, Is now, and will ever be, the most desirable home city in the wonderfully beautiful Pacific Coast country.

It Is the distributing point for the' rich valley regions of California, where millions of acres of cultivated land are being made to turn out fruits, grain, livestock and dairy products sufficient to feed a commonwealth, its social aim educational environment and surroundings are Wholesome ane healthful. decade from 1900 to 1910 Bhowed a remarkable Jump in the percentages. WATER FRONT USEFUL. Coming back to the history of the development and lack of development of the Oakland water front, it will be noted that for the forty, years when this work was practically untouched the population of the ea'st bay shore had advanced to only 69,810. From the figures given" above It will be shown that about the year 1890 the use of the Oakland water front had become important from a commercial standpoint From the year 1890 to 1910, as shown by the figures above, the same territory, whose population In forty years had grown to 65,810, made a Jump to 225,800, this being an Increase of 160,000 in twenty years.

Unquestionably ther Is a close connection between this population growth and the larger use of the Oakland waterfront. It is comparatively useless In this connection to discuss how much the Increase in population has to do witn the Increased value of real estate, if It is concluded that the -increase ef population followed as a result or the development of the Oakland water front In the final anlysls it is found the Improvement and larger use of the water front lias broiiRlit ine increaseu value of the real property, In this connection it is of Vital in terest to the Investor in real estate -to compare the growth In population of San Francisco with tne grxnvtn oi um-land and the rest bay shore communi ties. In 18N0. when Oakland and 1U environs contained 43,203 people, han Francisco had a population of 059. In 1800 Han JYanclsco had in' weaned to 298,979, a percentage of 27.8-10.

In 1900 the San Franolwro population hod advanced to 312.782, the increase in that decade being 14.0-10 per cent In 1910 San Francisco's population luid increased to the increase In that decade being 21.6-10 per cent. If the same rate of increase in population in San Francisco that city will have in 1920 500,518 Inhabitants. At that same date Oakland and the east bay shore oommunitus will contain 618,572. the preponderance of population being then on the- east shore of the bay. If San Francisco still grows at the same rate, In 1930 there will be In tliat city 016,455 residents, at which time Oakland and environs will contain-' population of 731,782.

An Important influence, on the growth of Oakland and the increawed value of the real estate of this community which has been exercised by the greater development and use of the water tVont gives an Impressive reason which illustrates the necessity for the municipality to use every Mailable to carry on tills water front work. Just as surely as the development, and hope of development, of the water front has) caused the growth In population, Increase of business and the enormous enhancement in the valile of real estate in Oakland and environs, the sertoiis interruption of tliat development work, or the creation of a public impression that the policy of devcjopirtent 1.4 not to be carried out will destroy that business growth, put stop to the increase In population, and take from under the high valuation of real estate the foundation upon which it has been bntlt up. The improvement, and the certainty of further Improvement and use of the Oakland waterfront. Is the pedestal on which rewta all of Oakland's phenomenal growth and prosperity. Shatter that pedestal and the whole) tabrto falls.

This is in accord with the new theory of the proper arrangement of home parks.

It is the idea of Mark Daniels, the landscape engineer, that the narrow, deep lot was the outcome of the necessity for a place In which to locate barn and stables, but with the advent of the motor vehicle the necessity of this area has been eliminated and the lot of wide frontage and comparatively shallow depth gives many new and delightful possibilities in the arrange ment of the bouse and irardens. The new plan eliminates the usually unsightly back yard and gives for the same money a frontage that permits the erection of a spacious domicile, not crowded close -to the adjoining residences, but with liberal areas of lawn on all sides. A series of letters sent out bv Wlck ham Havens Incorporated to ascertain the sentiment of the people of taste and culture as to this Innovation has discovered almost a universal verdict in its favor. Mr. Daniels has pointed out that a street bordered on every side by such property with houses artistically ar ranged would be a very pleasing thing to jook upon and would develop for the owners fronting upon It values considerably in excess of the values of narrow apd deep lots, r.
