CORTELYOU LOCKED IN

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 10
For the first time in 8 years the
secretary Of the treasury is a hard
man to see. Mr.. Cortelyou works
behind closed doors. Both his pre-
decessors, Mr.. Gage and Mr.. Shaw,
used to see all visitors as they
came.
When Mr.. Cortelyou moved in the
first thing he did was to have the
swinging door removed, and door
put on with a spring lock. Then he
installed his secretary in the room
which formerly had been the main
waiting room. Cortelyou is system
attic in his habits. He cannot bear
to be interrupted when at work.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY HAS
IMPORTANT REALTY DEAL
Chicago Lawyer Buys Townsite' of
Beaumont and 1000 Surrounding
Acres from San Francisco
Loan Society

A very important real estate deal,
transferring the townsite of Beaumont,
In Riverside county, from the German
Savings and Loan society of San Fran
cisco to c. B. Eyler, a Chicago lawyer,
has been recently consummated The
transfer also carries 1000 surrounding
acres.
For twenty years the San Francisco
concern has held the great property under
mortgage, refusing to sell the tract in
any form other than in its entirety. The
result has been the stunting of the
growln of the district, which has large
possibilities.
Beaumont lies east of Cotton short
distance on the Southern Pacific railroad,
in the heart of the fertile San Gorgonio
valley. Its elevation Is about 5000 feet,
and the land has a gradual decline on
one side toward the Imperial valley and
on the west toward Cotton.
The town has population of 500 The
Southern Pacific maintains round houses
and pumping plants there which require
forca of over sixty men. The pay roll
of $4,000 a month affords very sub
stantial asset for the little towns pros
perity. This volume of business is added
to very materially by the producing fruit
and agricultural country on all sides.
Barley, cherries, apples, olives and other
deciduous fruits form a very considerable
item, and considering that there has not
