LOUISIANA CAPITALIST MAKES
INVESTMENT
Survey for Car Lines Being Made.
Nursery Overcrowded with
Orders for Fruit Trees
and Vines

reports from Beaumont indicate un-
abated activity i'm city lots and fruit
lands Likewise strong movement
has been inaugurated in the matter of
grape culture by the arrival in Beau
mont of William Merkel and S. Thomp-
son of Lodi, who are selecting land for
colony of German vineyardists, who
expect to leave the Northern California
city i'm the near future to locate i'm the
San Gorgonio valley. Merkel has pur-
chased ten acres of grape land ad-
joining the townsite on the east for
$3.50, and also house and lot on Beau
mont avenue, near Seventh street, for
$1,000. He intends to add to his acre
age and will plant the same at once
so as to take advantage of the spring
rains. Thompson has bought seven
acres for $1050, and is now in Lodi pre-
pairing his household goods for ship
ment to Beaumont, where he will build
a modern bungalow c. ID. Kemper, a
Louisiana banker who is the president
of two railroads and the owner of two
sugar plantations i'm the south, has
made investments with the Beaumont
Land and Water company totaling
$4150. consisting of lot /. block 121, $50
acres lot 1, block 122, 2.56 acres; lots
and 2, block 81. III acres; lots IA and
16, block 5S, for his residence. and lots
q and 2S, block 9S as site for busi-
ness block he intends to erect. Kemper
travelled all over California before To-
eating in Beaumont and selected it as
a home largely on account of his wife's
health. He will move from Louisiana
at once and then place all of his lands
in a high state of cultivation.
Indicating the confidence of soil eX-
perts in Beaumont lands, Otto Hum
nell. an experienced German gardner
of Los Angeles, has purchased lot l,
block 81. 6.2 acres. for $3.50, and is al
ready planting it to fruit trees and
vines. He has reserved two acres of
the land for his home site and kitchen
garden and will erect a comfortable
residence in the near future.
Residents of Beaumont are much
elated over the news that surveyors are
marking out an electric line between
Riverside and Cotton, thus connecting
the electric systems that extend from
Cotton to Redlands, from whence sur
veys have already been made for an
electric road extending to Oak Glen,
at the head of the canyon north OF
Beaumont. Negotiations have been on
for some time to bond Il branch line
from Oak Glen to Beaumont and points
south and east, and this would result IN
a direct connection between Riverside
and all points in the San Gorgonio val
ley. No better indication of the sub
stantial character of land buyers who
are moving into Beaumont could he
had than the fact that Professor Bur-
son of the Beaumont Nursery company
is oVercrowded with orders for trees
and vines, indicating the intention OF
purchasers to permanently settle on
their lands. and dispelling all question
of a purely speculative movement.

FLORAL PARADE
PLANS PROGRESS
COMMITTEE is ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER THE PROSPECT FOR Tie
BIG SHOW.

The following parade committee yes
terday gave out the following state
ment:
The floral parade this year promis-
es TO be far more complete and per
feet in every way than previous par
AIDES have been and the great regret
of the committee is that there are not
a large number of strangers in the
city to get the benefit of this unique
festivity. 1t is quite true that parades
of like character are not novelties
in many parts of the world. The car
nivals of Nice, the Yelled Prophet
of st. Louis, the Mardi Gras of New
Orleans and the floral parades of Los
Angeles and Pasadena are known the
world over. 1t should be the desire
of all to have our parade in time none
the less famous. We have the elm
ate, and the natural setting for a
grand spectacle, and in no other place
can such graceful and daring riders
be found in such numbers among the
women. This makes the pau section
a unique and vital part of the parade
alone worth a journey from the coast

gurated last year, was entered into
with great enthusiasm and proved a
great success. This year it will be
even more brilliant and there is the
! keenest rivalry between the different
! islands to see who will carry off the
| laurels. Processes for the islands OF
Oahu, Hawaii and Kauai have already
been chosen, but the names are not
to be given out at present Sufficient
to say that each is a beauty of note
and will be superbly mounted Mr.
Albert Wilcox Mr. Chas. A. Rice and
