That Beaumont acreage and lots are
still in high favor with local and east
ern investors is evidenced by the week.
ly report of the Beaumont Land and
Water company, showing sales of over
fifty acres of fruit land, besides a large
number of residence and business lots.
Home building is also keeping pace
with the selling of land and q marked
feature of the construction work is
that fireproof terra Gotta blocks are
being used in number OF the new
structures, including the office of the
Gateway Gazette, Beaumont's weekly
newspaper, and the building OF the
Beaumont steam laundry. New build
iEgs, upon which construction work
will soon start, include the new home
Of G. Aeska. the Beaumont black
smith, who will build on Egan avenue.
Judge Woy, an eminent jurist, formerly
of Arizona, will construct a bungalow
en- Beaumont avenue, adjoining the
Bachelors club, while Albert Lecoque
of Covina VIII commence work this
week on a hand laundry and residence,
situated on lots south of the depot In
the industrial section of the city. Il. r.
Gillett of Long Beach has now be-
come a permanent resident and will
and put the same under cultivation.
He Is preparing to secure a business
lot and intends to erect a business
building In Beaumont's mercantile
colony.
An important extension of the water
works system, comprising $4,000 feet of
additional mains, is now In course OF
construction and will result in furnish
ing irrigation water to 800 acres of land
situated in the townsite north of the
railroad tracks, thereby insuring a sup
ply OF water for crops set out durins
the spring planting season.
New Catholic Church
AS evidence of the thrift of the Cath
Ollie population OF Beaumont, the sum
of $500 for the new church to be
erected on East Eighth street has been
raised within the past ten days and
work on the edifice will start in the
near future. This will make the third
place of worship in Beaumont, the
other two churches being OF the Pres
byterian denomination. Good progress
is reported as having been made in the
matter of subscriptions for the German
Methodist church that recently accept
ed site from the land company on
Eighth and Maple avenue.
Several propositions are being con-
sidered by eminent specialists on
asthma, bronchitis and kindred throat
troubles for the establishment in Beau
mont of a large sanitarium, and ac-
cording to these experts the climate is
the most ideal for the curing of these
diseases of any place in the state of
California. There has likewise been
some consideration on the part OF the
Catholics for the erection of hos
pital and sanitarium for debilitated
priests and sisters, this move having
been brought about through the mar
velous return to health of Rev. Father
Fitzgerald, now of Redlands who went
TO Beaumont few years ago in great
physical distress and completely recov-
cred his health.
Paramount to all past water develop
ment on lands south of the town is
the showing in a well on j. A. Gray's
tract, recently purchased from the
company, where, at depth of 200
feet, water is standing within thirty
feet of the surface. This denotes the
existence OF a subterranean basin of
great extent and has assured all buyers
regarding the future of these lands.
