POINT Iona ACREAGE
BRINGS BIG FIGURE
Tract of Twenty Acres Sells at $4,000.
In Heart of Residence Sec
ton, Near Car
Line

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 1s-One of the largest
recent real estate sales of suburban property
was reported this week when D. c. Reed
purchased twenty acres in pueblo lot 20
at $1,000 an acre, or a total consideration
of $4,000.
This property is located on the eastern
slope of Point Iona, a short distance north
of Roseville, and commands superb view
of the bay and San Diego. 1t ad1olns
Manassee and Schiller's addition to Rose
Vile on the northwest, and is only three
blocks from the Point Iona car line now
under construction, while the fine new boule-
ward runs directly through the tract.
The tract is considered one of the finest
In that section for residential purposes, and
is now being subdivided by Mr. Reed in
conjunction with the D. c. Collier COM
pany, who are doing the same with the re-
naming twenty acres which compose the
southeast quarter of pueblo lot 30. The

CUDAHY RANCH OPENS
SECOND SUBDIVISION
HEAVY DEMAND MAKES STEP
NECESSARY
Former Five Hundred-Acre Tract
Sells Out Before Time Anticipated.
Fifty Houses Completed
and Occupied

In announcing the subdivision of the
Cudahy ranch it was decided to sell
500 acres, to be followed by an addi-
tional 500 acres. 1t was expected that
the second subdivision would be put
on the market about March 1 but re-
quests have been so numerous for this
land that Manager James r. H. Wag-
ner has decided to put it on the market
January "a, even though it is not ready
for occupancy.
In the nine months that Subdivision
No. 1 has been offered the demand
has been increasing, and the improve
ments have kept apace with the sales.
With more than fifty houses already
completed and occupied, and many
more under construction the Cudahy
ranch today presents an example of
rapid, substantial development that
speaks well for the possibilities of the
land, good soil being the fundamental
upon which farming success must be
built
Of the original 500 acres nearly all
has been sold-a fact which assures
the success of Tract No. 2.
The water supply on the new Cudahy
ranch tract will be as adequate as that
on the land now settled. The Western
Gas Engine company has under con-
struction a 125-horse power gasoline
engine with modern Nix transformer, a
device which converts crude oil into
gas. This engine. which will develop
all water for Tract No. 2, will be ready
for installation March /. Four miles
Of steel water pipe have been deliv-
cred and the work Of laying has
started.
Cudahy Ranch Tract No. adjoins
the original tract to the west, where 1t
is bounded by Cudahy avenue and ex-
tends eastward to the Salt Lake rail-
road.

BEAUMONT PLANS FOR
EXPERIMENT STATION
WILL TEST APPLE VALUES
AND PRODUCTION
Twenty Teams Clear Acreage for Gull
tiVation of EucaIypti and Grapes.
Poultry Ranches in Big
Demand

A concerted movement hG- been
inaugurated at Beaumont to extend the
scope and diversity Of apple culture in
the valley, the idea being to pursue
methods of demonstration similar to
those that have built to great proper
tons the apple industry in other fam
Gus apple centers like Wenatchee wall
ley, Yakima, Washington, and HOOD
river, Ore. An experiment station will
be established on the EnglehardC..
Slower ranch to test the relative pro-
duction and money value of the various
varieties of apples, and young trees
from all outside districts will be plant
ed. Methods of advertising and mar
keting the fruit will be investigated,
and bulletins Of results mailed not only
to all owners of land in the valley, but
to the chambers of commerce through
out the east and west. The movement
is for the advantage of over 900 invest
ors who in a year have bought $500, 90
worth Of Beaumont apple lands and
will result in standardizing the apple
industry.
Rainfall amounting to over two
inches has encouraged the demand for
both acreage and city property in
Beaumont, the sales for the week total
ing $3.50. One deal of fifteen acres in
Cherry valley to Riverside orange
growers involving $3.50 will result in
the immediate planting of the land to
apples.
Twenty men and teams are now
clearing 120 acres of virgin land north
of the townsite, which will go on the
market for eucalyptus, grape and poul-
try ranches the demand for the latter
class Of property having recently been
beyond the supply. Several poultry

Contracts for Cottages
Contracts for four new cottages, built
for investment, to cost $4,000, have been
let by Mrs. L. L. Whitlock Of Los An
geles, who expects to move to Beau
mont at once. Among others erecting
homes are George Smith, w. E. Shut
and Thomas Hawthorne, who has &C
quired ten acres and named his ranch
Hawthorndeen. He is planting flaming
Tokay grapes
The state bureau of mineralogy is
collecting data on Beaumont's mineral
resources and due to the proximity of
Mt. San Jacinto and other mountains of
volcanic origin, quite an array of diff
ferent minerals, including topaz and
beryl have already been found in
claims recently staked.
Placer gold in considerable quantities
is said to be present in the stream beds
to the north of town. A. A. Warren
has located a claim in Edgar canyon
from which ore showing as high as s
per cent copper has recently been
mined

AGENTS KILL PROPOSED
LICENSE AND BOND BILL
Proposition Is Rejected by Vote Of
Nearly Four to One Before
Reaching Opinion of
Legislature

Herbert Burdett, executive secretary
of the State Realty federation, an
nounced yesterday the result of the
vote by the federation on the proposed
bill which would have provided for
licensing all real estate agents and
have required bond of $4,000 as a pre-
requisite to the granting of such
license.
The proposition to submit this bill,
or some similar one embodying the
same principle, to the state Legislature
was rejected by vote of nearly four
to one. The San Francisco and Los
Angeles realty boards, the two largest
organizations in the state, opposed the
suggested measure, as did also the San
Jose Real Estate association. The
Sacramento and Fresno boards were
in favor of the bonding proposition.
The Oakland association did not arrive
at definite decision, but approved the
idea Of an act which will elevate and
establish the business of a real estate
agent as a reliable financial agent"
The Berkeley real estate exchange did
not vote upon the question. The in
dividual members of the federation
comprising the agents in the small
towns were equally divided on the
proposition, so far as could be ascer-
tanned, the majority of them falling
to vote at all

RUSH WORK ON YAOUI

AMERICANS TO HAVE SYSTEM
READY THIS MONTH
Fully 100000 Acres Compose Irrl-

dams Makes Quick Settle.
ment Possible

Canal work is being rushed on the
lands of the Yaqui delta which are
being placed under irrigation by the
Richardson Construction company Of
Los Angeles. An increase in the work.
ing force of the contractors has been
made within the last week by adding
another traction engine to the number
already being used, this of course
calling for additional hands and in
surfing still more rapid progress. 1t is
expected that the vast irrigation sys-
tenn will be in readiness to place fully
100000 acres under water by Feb
ruary 1.
This quick development of the Yaqui
valley has been made possible through
the entire pacihcation of the Indians,
who for so many years have terrorized
the state of Sonora. Last dispatches
from the section state that the Indians
have signed treaties and surrendered
all munitions and arms. However, the
actual work of the irrigation system
has not been held back by the Indian
trouble, as the fighting has been al
most entirely among the mountains
far to the east and north Of the valley.
Land sales continue to increase each
week several thousand acres having
been purchased by Americans, who
realize better than anyone else the
great value of the fertile delta land.
Many large holdings have been taken
UP by California rancherS and grow
ing community of American people is
being built about the newly laid out
town Of Yaqui. Every train arriving
at Esperanto brings between five and
twenty investigators. These people
are given every advantage to look over
the property and the majority make
reservations at once. To accommodate
these newcomers the Richardson Con-
struction company is rushing work on
modern hotel at Esperanza. At
Yauui another modern hotel building
is being erected and also a general
store, a number Of houses, warehouses,
depot and administration buildings
for the company.
