May RESIDE ON THE SOUND
TACOMA NEWSPAPER CLAIMS
THAT. Ex- MAYOR JACOB BETz
MAY RESIDE THERE.
Owns Vast Amount of Property in the
City Of Destiny-Is Now
There.

The Tacoma Ledger prints story in
which it is stated that Jacob Betz of
this city contemplates changing his
residence from Walla Walla to Ia
coma. Mr.. Betz is now in Tacoma and
Verification of the report could not
be obtained. The Ledger says:
Jacob Betz, pioneer citizen Of
Walla Walla and one of the wealthiest
men in the state of Washington, will
probably make Tacoma his future
home. Mr.. BetZ is engaged in the
brewery business and he recently in
vested a small portion of his profits in
Tacoma real estate, purchasing the
Sprague block on Pacific avenue, for
which he paid $4,000.
Several days ago Mr.. Betz return
ed from the East. where he spent sew
eral months visiting the principal cities
on the Atlantic coast, with a stopover
at ST. Louis. He has been in Tacoma
ever since, looking queitly about for
a desirable home. He will be join
ed by his family shortly and if Mrs.
Betz and the children are favorab bly,
impressed with Tacoma and the eli
mate, Mr.. Betz will make this his per-
manent home.
Mr.. Betz has great faith in the flu
ture Of Tacoma and as a residence city
he mas always been favOrably i'm
pressed with it's many attractive fea-
lures. He is we'll pleased with his in
VeStmentS here. Cement sidewalks
will be laid in front of the Sprague
block and it is within the range of
probability that a brick building will
be constructed by him on the Fifteenth
street frontage of the property.

Former WaIla Wallan Promoting Big
Scheme in Eastern Oregon.

DR.. j. NJ. Boyd of Spokane, ard for
merly of Walla Walia, is promoting a
scheme to build an interurban electric
road from Baker City to La Grande.
The plan is for road to skirt the foot

Union and Hot Lake. A cOmmunica-
ton has been sent to the mayor of
Baker City apprising him that the new
company will ask for franchises
through the city streets, and a COM
pany of engineers with an expert street
car man will start for the region in
a few days The proposed line is to be
operated with power from Rock creek,
nine miles from Baker City. DR.. Boyd
is a large property holder in Baker
CITY. and the terminals of the line will
he upon a city block he owns. 1t is
the intention of the promoters to build
