THREE LECTURES
ON BEAUMONT
NEARLY 100 VIEWS ARE IN
EACH EXHIBITION
INCREASED INTEREST IN LANDS
DRAWS BIG AUDIENCES
Demand for Acreage and City Lots
Shows Marked Improvement.
First Week of October
Makes Record

Pursuant to the increased interest In
California land, the Beaumont Land
and Water company has begun at It's
Los Angeles headquarters a morning
stereopticon lecture at 10:30 in addt-
tion to the regular exhibitions at 2;SO
and 8 p. m. Nearly 120 views or the
townsite and orchards are presented
and the attendance since April 1 IS
said to have reached over 10000.
Demand for Beaumont apple lands
and city lots showed q marked I'M
provement last week, due to the OPEN
ing of the fall season. More colonlsts
than usual participated In the Thurs-
ady and Sunday excursions, ana Visl.. M
ors from seven different states were
Included. The total business done
reached $6350. making the first week OF
October a top notcher. The buying
was centered on the irrigation lands
Cherry valley subdivisions, most or
the buyers taking from fve 70 ten
acres at prices ranging from Sl25 to
S175 an acre.
Cherry culture has received a de-
cided boost through the advent OF a
party of cherry growers from North
ern California, who pronounced the
yield of $3.50 to $400 an acre from Beau
mont cherry orchards phenomenal
Marketing facilities also impressed the
orchardists, for 1t was shown that
cents a pound in Beaumont was the
market price of this years cherry
crop. The years cherry and apple
yield from Joseph Wilshire's ranch is
over $12, 900, and on the Highland Home
ranch of Palmer e. Halliday the cherry
trees bore over $3.50 an acre this year.
Flax Becomes Active
Flax is another form of culture now
being promulgated in Beaumont by
the flax seed trust. whose agents are
interviewing the land owners with q
view of having them rotate from wheat
or barley one year to flax the next.
The claim Is made that flax not only
strengthens the soil for grain and grain
vice versa for flax, but also obviates
the necessity of summer following,
thus keeping the land busy all the time
without prejudice to its nutritive quail
tiles. Several experimental areas may
be planted to prove these claims, and
If the expected yield of $50 an acre is
made land values will be greatly en-
hanced
Another splendid industry, a big
poultry ranch has been added to Beau
mont by w. ]. Becker, who has sew
eral strains OF prize winning White
Wyandottes and Rhode Island Reds.
Eggs at 40 cents a dozen and chickens
at 22h cents a pound makes Beau
mont especially inviting to poultry
men, particularly in view of the pro-
pitious conditions for fowls.
Great enthusiasm over ecalyptus
planting is manifest in Beaumont, as
areas recently set out to trees are
thriving. Fully sixty acres have been
planted in the past six months, which
includes twenty acres of the Beaumont
Eucalyptus club, a cooperative organ
ization of the leading business men and
women. There are nearly 10000 full
grown eucalyptus trees along the
streets of Beaumont, covering a dis
tance of thirty miles on both sides of
the boulevards.

N IRECTLY through the experiments
of J. P Carter. a new home
~ seeker and settler at Beaumont.
1t has been shown that the lands of
the Beaumont valley are splendidly
adapted to the raising of peanuts of
highest grade. Carter began by plant
ing a few rows, obtained good results,
planted more, and now has crop that
promises yield of over $500 to the
acre. Samples of the product are on
display at the Broadway offices OF the
Beaumont Land and Water company,
and the photograph above shows part
Of this display.
Formerly most of the peanuts used
in this market came from Texas, and
that state was supposed to have cor
ner on the lands best suited for pea
nut culture. Fortunes have been made
there for years by peanut farmers and
the lands adapted for this culture have

the danger which menaced popular
sovereignty through its provisions, sus-
tanned the Governor by vote of &c
to 2. This was by all odds the most
pernicious bill with any hope of being
enacted presented at the last session
of the Legislature.
During the year the committee has
brought several matters of vital public
concern to the attention of the Police
Department and records with pleasure
the unfailing courtesy of the sheriff,
Colonel C. P. Iaukea, and his Chief of
Staff Mr.. A. P. Taylor, both of whom
have manifested unusual devotion to
the public veal and have in every in
stance carefully Investigated COM
plants. The conditions fostering vice
at Iwilei were early reported to the
police and Improvement was noted at
once. Abuses in connection with Chi
nese coffee houses, some of which were
apparently designation centers, were
largely controlled. A pernicious saloon
advertisement detrimental to public
morals was suppressed and number
of minor matters received prompt at
tention.
Your committee also presented re-
port urging the establishment by public
spirited citizens of an up-to-date anti
saloon coffee house in connection with
Palama Settlement. If this could be
secured before the visit of the battle
ship squadron it would be of large
benefit to both the navy aud the city.
1t is to be hoped that in connection
Herewith the proposed recreation room
and gymnasium at that important cen
ter may b put in operation.
The question of sewer rates having
been referred to us, your committee
recommended the following:
Resolved, That the present system of
sewer rates is unfair and that an Act
should be passed at the next Legislature
placing the burden of maintaining the
Honolulu sewer system on the city and
county of Honolulu
Resolved, That as long as the present
law is in effect it is the duty of the
Superintendent of Public Works to en-
force the same against all users of sew
ers alike.
These resolutions were duly voted.
For some weeks past your committee
has had in hand investigation of GER
tain definite complaints regarding the
prosecution of eases of gambling and
unlicensed liquor selling in the local
courts and an inquiry into the large
number of divorce libels recorded here.
Both of these matters are pending and
will go over to our successors.

you would perhaps in the end line up all

what your position would be-"
The senator continued: and you sent
Mr.. Davidson down to Washington, did
you not, to see where l stood?"
II did not send him personally, but 1t
was my influence, with others. that got
Mr.. Davidson to go to Washington, be-
lieving that perhaps you would commit
yourself to him when you would not with
me. Our anxiety to know how you stood
was such that we sent Mr.. Davidson and
undertook to find out where you stood"
HE didn't find out. did he, much more
than you did," asked Senator Long.
NO" answered Mr.. Howard.
Mr.. Howard was speaking for the Com
mercial club at public meeting of the
club, called to find out how Long stood
on the rate bill question upon which the
President had just expressed the senti-
ments quoted above. After some further
evasion, Long, in his arrogance, answered
these business men constituents you
ask me to state my position now. You
wish me to engage in this agitation for
additional power to the interstate COM
merce commission. / decline to do this,
believing this is not my province. Under
present circumstances In the senate un-
fortunately you can be heard only through
my vote" Then after a moment he said:
"You may agtate, you may pass resoIu-
tlons, but finally | vote"
And the votes he cast are recorded
above. That speech also is part or
his record. 1t is a question of vera
city between the allies as to whether
Long had received the railroad money
for his campaign fund when he made
that speech. Long says no. Leland
has said yes. But if he did take the
Missouri Pacific's money for his cam
paign fund, as Leland has said he did,
might not his speech, his endorsement
and his votes be possibly about what
they are. His most efficient answers
to these charges is in the end his po-
litical machine. That machine must
be smashed if Kansas is to be free.

How Indians Tan Deerskin.

The skin dressing Of the Indians,
both buffalo and deer skins, Is general
ly very beautiful and soft. They
stretch the skin either on a frame or
on the ground, and after 1t has remain
ed there for three or four days, with
the brains spread over the fleshy side.
they grain 1t with a sort Of adj or
chisel. After the process Of graining.
though the skin IS apparently beaut-
fully finished, 1t passes through an
other process-that Of smoking. For
this they hang the skin on a frame
In a smoke proof house or tent. The
fire is made at the bottom out Of rot
ten wood, which produces a strong and
peculiar smell. The fire must be smoth-
cred to make the smoke. The grained
skins must be kept In the smoke for
three or four days. and after this the
skins will always remain the same,
even after being wet, which does not
belong to the dressed skins In civilized
countries.-"LlfeA Among the Indians
