BEAUMONT SHOWS
CONTINUED DEMAND
RAIN CUT LITTLE FIGURE WITH
THE BUYERS
Many Who Purchased Twenty Years
Ago Return for New Invest
ments-Buldlng and Plant
Ing in Progress

Beaumont reports the total sales this
week at $3.50. The last excursion, last
Thursday morning, took up 120 people,
and despite the rain the buying was
very brisk. There is no lull in the
building activity, and an increasing
number of buyers are commencing to
set out trees and vines. A new paper,
the Gateway Gazette, published at
Beaumont, made its appearance last
Thursday. 1t is edited and published
by Arthur J. Burdick, formerly of the
editorial staff of one Of the Los An
geles papers.
Among the purchasers last week are
a number who intend building at once,
as we'll as a number of home seekers
who purpose planting trees and vines
Immediately.
The rain was welcome last week.
Residents of Beaumont say that a dry
year is unknown in that section. Mr..
Stewart of the Stewart ranch, adjoin-
ing section IL, who operates 5000 acres,
900 of which are leased from the Beau
mont company says that crop fall
ure Is entirely unknown in the san
Gorgonio pass. Rainfall is considerably
greater than that of Los Angeles and
never fails to come.
The last Thursdays excursion carried
a number of people who had bought
from the original TOWNSHIP twenty years
ago, and who were so impressed with
the conditions now that they purchased
acreage of the company.
Among the purchasers last week was
Milton J. Foster of Pasadena, who
bought two lots in the town site and
five acres of land in section IL. He
will build for a town residence in block
65, adjacent to the residence of Mar
shall Long. Mrs. Coonley of Detroit,
who bought several lots in Beaumont,
secured an additional lot for her sister
last week Mrs. Mary F. Baker, who
bought six acres of fruit land several
weeks ago, is preparing to have mis-
cellaneous assortment Of trees planted
the coming week. The company an
nounces that the excursions. which have
proved such a profitable feature and
are still bringing good results despite
the recent rains, will be continued in
definitely, rain or shine.

HUNTINGTON TRACT =
HAS LARGE SALE
BUSINESS FOR WEEK AGGRE-
GATES $4,000
and Blades Company Regards
Sales as Indication
of Revival

During the week ending Saturday the
Paul H. Blades company sold houses
and lots to the amount of more than
$4,000 in Huntington Boulevard tract,
on the Pasadena short line.
This is by far the largest tract sale in
so short time reported during the past
four or five months and indicates a
most encouraging revival of interest in
the realty market.
The property is located on the south
side of the Pasadena short line, about
half way between the city limits and
South Pasadena. 1t is very slightly and
attractive. Car service is exceptionally
fine as all Pasadena, Monrovia, Sierra
Madre, Alhambra ant San Gabriel cars
pass the tract Already many thous-
ands of dollars have been expended for
street work and installation of a water
system, and several houses have been
erected by purchasers of lots.
Two houses erected by the company
owning the property were included in
the sales made during the week.
The completion Of the Pasadena
boulevard connecting Los Angeles and
Pasadena provides a superb speedway
the entire distance between the two
cities and has awakened great interest
in property all along the Pasadena
short line. With the new speedway and
certain that the property between the
city limits and South Pasadena will be
built up rapidly and soon be as highly
improved as along the old line via Pas
adena avenue, and thus Pasadena,
South Pasadena an Los Angeles will
speedily grow together. There is now
but a short unimproved space between
Los Angeles and South Pasadena along
the short line, and this is being taken
up and improved.
The lots sold by the Paul H. Blades
company during the past week were
purchased by Los Angeles people who
realize that the rapid development
along the Pasadena short line is in
evitable.
One house was sold at $2450, one at
$4,000 and nineteen lots at prices rang
ing from $500 to $780,. The Paul H.
Blades company positively declares that
all these sales were made during the
past week, and affirms that this is but
one of the many indications of a rapid
improvement in the general realty
market.
