PAGE FOUR Real Estate and RANCH OF 53 ACRES IS SOLD McClelland Property on Placentia Ave. Taken; Clayes House Sold One of the largest outside deals in months was consummated recently when the H. L. McClelland ranch of 53 acres on Placentia ave was cut up into four parts and sold to four different parties. The Simpson Realty Co. confirmed the report of the sale, but declined to give details. Two important multiple listing sales were put thru on Monday, by J. L. Swatthout, secretary of the Anaheim Realty Board, and A. E. Murgrove. The former sold the former J. A. Clayes houses on North Los Angeles st for Barney Hartfield for $18,500. This is the second time in two months or so that this house has been sold, and Hartfield is said to have made a profit of around $1,500 on the deal. The purchaser's name is not Driller Returns, "Ready For Rush" "I've come back to Anaheim so as to be ready when the first well comes in." This is what a drill foreman of the Pugh & Miller Drilling Co. told a friend here yesterday. He is working at Signal Hill. Until recently he was working in the Torrance field, where he superintended the drilling of 10 or 12 wells. He declares this field has gone back so badly that oil concerns are about convinced it is going to pieces. PROSPERITY NEAR SAYS HARRY SCOTT Harry E. Scott is enthusiastically optimistic as to conditions in Anaheim. The strong feeling of confidence that oil will be discovered is reflected in stiffening prices and increasing investments. With much land already leased the competition is growing keener and many changes are being made quietly. Mr. Scott believes that few realize the prosperity that is coming to Anaheim. The wise ones are also picking up the summer camping sites in the mountains. Big Bear Lake is the favorite location and one who has been there recently can understand why the mountains are becoming so valuable for summer occupancy and why those who The Simpson Realty Co. confirmed the report of the sale, but declined to give details. Two important multiple listing sales were put thru Monday, by J. L. Swathout, secretary of the Anaheim Reality Board, and A. E. Hirgrove. The former sold the former J. A. Clayes house on North Los Angeles st for Barney Martfield for $18,500. This is the second time in two months or so that this house has been sold, and Martfield is said to have made a profit of around $1,500 on the deal. The purchaser's name is not disclosed. Swarthout sold the Herman Murnane ranch of five acres at Katella road and South Palm-s for $22,000 to Frank Ricker. The place includes a six-room house. LAY FOUNDATIONS FOR PARK LIGHTS The conduits for the lighting standards in city park have been nearly all laid and the work of laying the foundations will begin today or tomorrow, according to City Manager O. E. Steward. The park committee will make no decision on the matter of moving the bleacher until they have consulted with baseball experts and fans regarding the new site preferred. Clyde Butler, assistant city manager, disagrees with City Manager Steward regarding the cost. In Butler's opinion, the cost will be considerably over, not under $1,000. There are still a number of gravel walks to be laid. The plunge was finished a month or two ago, but repeated tests have had to be made sure of its efficiency. The workability of the filters and heating apparatus particularly is in question. 18 PERMITS IN 9 DAYS ISSUED Up to today, 18 permits has been issued in February by the building inspector's office in nine days of actual business. This represents a valuation of $27,225, a sizable total, even if it doesn't compare with some or the almost unprecedented figures of recent months. One of two big buildings will bring up the month's aggregate again to above normal. DOBLE STEAM BUENA PARK BUENA PARK, Feb. 13. (Spl.) Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Porter were guests at the J. B.

Herren, Field Secretary of the National Ass'n of Real Estate Boards, is accompanying President Barbour on the greater part of his tour. Anaheim C. of C. has addressed the following letter to the S. P. U. P. and Santa Fe Rys., signed by a number of shippers: "The Chamber of Commerce of Anaheim finds that this city's progress has been seriously jeopardized due to the inadequate rail and terminal facilities of the three trans-continental railroads entering Anaheim. It also finds that it is being discriminated against in service as compared with adjacent cities. "At the present time the terminal tariffs of the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe provide for interchange of carload freight at Anaheim for $2.70 per car when not from competitive points, no charge being assessed when from competitive points. Industries located on the Southern Pacific or Santa Fe are unable to get delivery of a car routed into Anaheim via the Union Pacific but must take delivery from the holdtrack. Industries located on the Union Pacific are unable to take delivery on cars routed to Anaheim via the Southern Pacific or Santa Fe. "In addition to these inconveniences to Anaheim receivers and shippers, new industries seeking locations avoid Anaheim on account of not being able to get delivery to their industries via any of the three carriers, which is the most important item in localizing a new industry. "In addition to the above facts, cars are not always delivered immediately to consigisters at Anaheim after arrival. After interchange cars reach Anaheim if local train of one road departs before the arrival of local on the other road the consigresses must wait during the week days as long as 24 hours and over Sunday, when there are no local trains, as long as 48 hours, for a local train to make delivery. This is neither car conservation nor a saving of time or money. This delay costs the carriers as well as the consigressees. A switch engine is maintained to give consignees quick delivery at Orange and Santa Ana. "Since there is now existing rail connection between the Southern Pacific and Sarita Pe railroads whereby cars shipped over one road can be delivered to the other road, and since the distance between the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific is only 90 feet and the Union Pacific has secured 40 of the 90 feet and is able to obtain the remaining 50 feet, and the Union Pacific is willing to build the 20 feet of track and connect with the Southern Pacific if the Southern Pacific will permit it to be done, then cars coming in on any of the three roads can be placed without delay on interchange track."
