TO START GRAPE
JUICE INDUSTRY
BEAUMONT HAS MACHINERY
IN PLACE
HOME MARKET TO BE CREATED
FOR PRODUCT OF VINE
News of Large Water Output Causes
Big Sale of Apple Lands-Town
Owns Its Own Packing
House

Last week saw the opening of anoth-
er industry in Beaumont, which prom
ises much in the way of development
of the grape industry. The Beaumont
Land and Water company, which owns
the grape vineyard, 65 years old, known
at the Edgar vineyard, began Tuesday
the manufacture of grape juice.
Several varieties of grapes are grown
in the vineyard, including the mission
and Flaming Tokay. Experiments with
these grapes show them to be rich in
saccharine matter, and the juice pro-
duced from them is said to be sweeter
and superior to the average grape
juice.
The new industry has been equipped
with all necessary machinery and par
aphernalia to make it permanent, and
Is expected to make home market
for Beaumont grapes at profitable
prices to the grower.
Announcement is made that severe
tests now show over 1926 miners inches
of water from the shaft and wells of
the Beaumont water system. The
wells, three in number, varying from
300 to S46 feet in depth, are reported
to test 200 miners inches, and the
shaft, 6x8 feet in size, 70 feet deep,
shows over 125 inches. The cost of de-
velopnent is said to have reached
nearly $4,000, and is expected to result
square miles from dry farmed grain
fields, yielding about $40 an acre, into
high class orchard land, producing over
five times as much.
Favorable news on water helped to
make last week q banner week for
sales of Beaumont apple lands, the to-
tai reaching $500 from two excursions.
The bulk of the buying was in Cherry
Valley West addition, the company's
fifth farm tract of $50 acres.
Two Cars Are Packed
Two cars Of fine apples of the yellow
Belleheur and Rhode Island greening
varieties have been packed already this
season at the famous apple ranch in
the Oak Glen district. One car was
shipped to Riverside Monday morning
and the second will be forwarded to-
morrow.
The company has it's own packing
house on the place, and is putting up
an extra fine pack for the fancy trade.
The fruit is carefully selected and each
apple Is wrapped much the same as
oranges are handled.
The apples are almost ready for the
of the season several hundred tons
will be cared for and sent to the vari-
Gus markets. At this time there is a
big demand for the fruit, and good
prices are being received. A big por-
ton of the output Is handled in this
section, and but little of 1t finds its
way to points farther away than Los
Angeles.

visions having been made to inclose the
porch with glass and convert 1t into
sun parlor should inclement weather
or ocean winds make the measure de-
sirable. At present, however, this porch
is entirely open to the garden. There
are four bedrooms, two baths and a

toned downstairs there are the kitchen
and service portion and servants room

difference being that the privacy of an
inclosed court is here secured by means
of a brick garden wall instead of by
projecting portion of the building, as
is done with the strictly patio form of
house. The advantage of the garden
wall over the patio method is that 1t
affords a sense of privacy from the
street without any feeling of confine-
ment or separation from the country
round about. Ample seclusion but also
privacy of room Is the sense conveyed,
the latter qualification being one that

like the Palisades, where the views
