Other Real Estate Sales
and Transactions

NATIONAL CITY, Feb. 29.-One of
the best real estate sales that has been
made in National City in some time
was consummated through the agency
of the Scott-Burnham Investment COM
pany, when DR.. s. F. Holt purchased
the F. c. Gild place for his brother,
Frank Holt, q we'll known banker of
Oklahoma City. The consideration is
said to have been in the neighborhood
of $12,500.
The property is located on the Ter
race, one of the choicest residence sec
tions of this city. 1t is improved with
A. handsome ten-room modern house,
and is considered one of the best in
National City. 1t is flve-acre tract,
and is laid out in excellent shape with
orange, lemon and numerous kinds of
fruit trees.
The purchase was made by Mr.. Holt
for the purpose of establishing Win
ter home here. The new owner has not
yet arrived from the east to take pos
session of the pltce.
The real estate men report that con-
ditions are very good and that the
prospects are very bright. Inquiries
for property by prospective buyers are
being received at all the real estate
offices in large and increasing numbers
every day.
Mrs. Louis S. Rippey, who is erect
ing a handsome six-room cottage on
Second street, between A and ave-
nues, has decided to erect second one
of similar design on an adjoining lot.
The cottage now under course of con-
struction is rapidly nearing completion,
and probably as soon as 1t is finished
work will be started on the second
house. Both cottages will be erected
at a cost of about $1400 each, and both
will be for rent.
The two-story brick block located at
the corner of Sixteenth street and Sew
enth avenue and owned by George
Chambers, is being overhauIed and put
in good condition. Concrete sidewalks
and curbs are also to be put in around
the building on both Sixteenth street
and Seventh avenue. This structure
has been idle and neglected for years.
but now that repairs are being made
II has already taken on a business like
appearance-a big contrast to the fam
iliar dead appearance of years past.

CastIemans Dispose of Loring Opera
House to C. L. Nye for Orange
Grove Valued at
$65,o00

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 29.-Negotiations
have been practically completed for
the transfer of majority of the stock
of the Loring Opera House company
from Stanley J. Castleman and Penn
Der s. Castleman to G. L. Nye The
deal includes the purchase of 7S7 shares
out of total of 1000 shares of the COM
pany. This stock was bought by the
Castleman brothers on February Is,
1906, and they turned the stock over to
Mr. Nye at a valuation of S65, 900, a
handsome advance of the price paid.
The Castlemans take in payment for
this property a seventy-four acre
orange grove In the Rivino tract at
West Riverside. The trees in this
grove are five years old and are just
coming into full bearing. There is no
finer orange property anywhere in this
valley and the trees have received the
very best of care since being planted
out. The grove is located near the
plant of the Southern California Ce-
ment company and has an independent
water right in the Rivino Water COM
pany. Besides the planted acreage
there is included in the deal eighty
five acres of land piped with water,
which is available for immediate plant
ing and will probably be planted out
at an early date by the new purchasers.
1t is probable that the Castlemans will
hold this fine orange property until 1t
comes into full bearing and get the
full benefit of the income from the
sale of the fruit.
Mr.. Nye purchases the opera house
stock in order that he may get income
property which does not require the
care and attention of the orange lands
and which he can handle easily himself.
Mr.. Castleman will continue to man
age the theater until the annual meet
ing of the Loring Opera House COM
pany in June. He has made distinct
success as manager of the theater and
has been successful in bringing to
Riverside practically all the high grade
attractions which have come to the
Pacific coast. The theater was newly
decorated last summer and will be
turned over to the new owner in the
very best condition. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Nye will gradually absorb other
holdings of the company until he has
the entire stock.
Mr.. Nye has been a resident of Riv-
erside for the past seven years and
owns one of tie finest twenty-acre
orange groves on Arlington Heights.
On this is beautiful residence site on
which he will eventually build fine
home.

A garage will be erected on the
premises, being large enough to house
three machines, with the necessary tool
rooms. On the second floor of the
garage will be bed and bath rooms for

SAN PEDRO, Feb. 29.-No decision
has been reached regarding the cut
ting down of Mob hill in this city, so
as to convert that section from resi-

Petitions have been numerously signed
by property owners, and only rev
oilt-of-town investors have failed to
append their signatures.
A meeting of property owners of Mob

BUSY WEEK
AT BEAUMONT
MORE SALES RECORDED THAN IN
PAST PERIODS
Social Side of Community Being Felt
and Church Societies Are Or
ganized-Men's Club
Formed

The sales of Beaumont property to
date amount to $1S6,4O9. The week
just closed was very spirited one,
more smaller sales being recorded
than in any other like period of the
immediate past. This is a most en-
couraging feature, as 1t indicates that
the lot sales are keeping we'll abreast
of the acreage sales. 1t is coming home
to nearly all the buyers of fruit and
farm lands that the city itself offers
a very fruitful field for Investment,
and a large number of purchasers of
outside property are reaching in and
selecting town lots. Whether desired
for city homes or for investment pur-
poses the company is glad to encour-
age this practice.
Building is livelier than last week.
Philo Davidson is building a ranch
house on farm land recently pur-
chased. The new postoffice building
at Edgar avenue and d street has been
started. w. ]. Dwyer of Los Angeles
is building at Michigan and Four
teenth streets.
Mrs. Samuel Green is building a
bungalow on block ia. E. d. Rey-
nolds is commencing the construction
of a new house at Eighth street and
Beaumont avenue. The house will be
two stories and finished in quarter
sawed oak. Mr.. and Mrs. Laffoon of
Los Angeles have arranged for a
double store and dwelling on Califor-
MIA street near Fifth. Another two
story business block is also going up
at Fifth and Eagan avenue for Mrs.
K. Bassler.
Besides the building going on num-
ber of those recently reported are
being finished and painted. Beaumont
presents very busy aspect these days,
and 1t does not take a very wise head
to peer into the future and foresee one
of the best and busiest little cities in
this end of the state.
The social and religious life of the
community Is also making itself felt.
A literary society has been formed, a
masquerade ball is on the tapis, the
United Presbyterian church has or
ganized a mems league and there Is
every indication that a Catholic
church will soon be added to the
church edifices of Beaumont.
The excursions run twice a week,
each Sunday and Thursday, and the
demand for tickets is said to be great
er than the supply.
The following are among the recent
BUYERS: J. Gonzales, city lots; @.

millions OF dollars from their own mine
and this money would be distributed among
the bondholders in equal proportion with
