be made in half a days time and when
the cutoff is completed from Parker to
Bengal a steamer line to connect with
the Santa Fe would be a profitable
venture and even now a boat would
be assured a good freight business, as
a shipment of hay and produce could
be made from Parker to the mining
camps in Arizona.
Mr.. Lovekin brought in some fine
samples of Paloverde onions and po-
taties. He believes the valley will be
a great onion country, as the onions
can be ready for shipment by March.
The new night train to and from the
Imperial valley is becoming popular
and Mr.. Lovekin says 1t was an i'm
pressive sight at Cotton this morning
to see the amount of produce unloaded
there for Riverside, Cotton, San Ber-
nardino and Redlands. There were
melons. cucumbers beans and other
vegetables from the Coachella and I'M
perial valleys and large quantities of
cream from the Imperial section. A
through refrigerator express service to
Los Angeles is maintained on this
train.

ELECTRIC POWER
FOR BEAUMONT
WORK BEGINS ON DEVELOPING
PROJECT
WATER TO BE USED ALSO FOR
IRRIGATION
La Mesa Mira Vale and City of Beau
mont Will Reap Benefits Derived
from Wallace Canyon
Stream

BEAUMONT, June 12.-Work has
been begun on power developing pro-
iect which is of vast importance to
Beaumont. Already 1000 feet of pressure
pipe has been laid in the system which
will connect the Beaumont Land &
Water cOmpany's shaft with the lower
pumping plant. The company is pre-
pairing to develop additional water in
the Wallace canyon to come through
this pipe. This water under the pres
sure will enable the company to gener-
ate electric power to the amount of
260 horsepower.
This line will serve a double purpose:
That of irrigating La Mesa Mira Vale
and the development of the power mem
toned. 1t will require 1876 horsepower
to operate the lower and upper pump
Ing plants. This will leave enough
power to generate electricity for the
lighting of La Mesa Mira Vale and
the city of Beaumont and still leave 100
horsepower for Beaumont industrial
concerns. And the water, after it has
served its purpose, will be just as wet,
Just as pure and just as good for irri-
CATION and domestic use S before. This
is one of the most important projects
which has been begun here recently.

Investors Acquire ACREAGE

Concurrent with the installation of
the system of steel water mains in the
farm subdivisions to the north OF
Beaumont many investors are acduir-
ing acreage i'm these tracts, the sales
for the first ten days in June aggregat-
ing $1,000. This brings the grand total
OF Beaumont transactions to 1853 900
and the number of buyers to nearly
1000
An added inducement for these heavy
purchases was the announcement that
the land company had begun active
work on an electric power plant to the
north of town. Several thousand feet
of steel pipe comprising the first unit
of the power line of this plant were
laid during the week and when COM
pleted the line will convey the water
nearly one mile under a head of COL
feet thus giving from 165 to 300 horse
power, according to the flow of the
stream. This will be sufficient to not
only light the town and some of the
farm subdivisions to the north. but also
supply power for pumping plants and
manufacturing purposes.
Indicative of the deep interest in
Beaumont's municipal affairs three
tickets have already been placed in the
field, comprising candidates who wish
to occupy city offices to be created by
the Incorporation of the town, a ques-
ton that will be decided by an election
June 10, but upon which a favorable
vote seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Another to Vote Bonds
After this election another will be
held to vote bonds for a $25, 900 high
school and this election will carry with
it the creation of new school district
called Summit. The school trustees are
already considering different types of
buildings best suited for the new high
school and are also preparing to begin
active construction of another new
grammar school north of town, max
ing the second in the valley.
The Beaumont postmaster, James
Kelley, has received notice from Wash
ington that beginning July his post
office will become a third class one
with a salary attached. This makes
the third advance in rating attained by
the postofffce in eighteen months.
Beaumont's third hotel, the Del Paso,
will soon open with Mr.. and Mrs. Van
bebber of Petaluma as proprietors. In
order TO furnish entertainment for visit
ing Elks during the coming eonven-
ton a bank has been organized in
Beaumont and will take part In the
parade in Los Angeles
