the northwest corner of Firth and
Mailman avenues, 250x130 feet. at
Crestmont, for $4,000, and the northeast
corner of GoldenNGate avenue and Efie
street, S0x140 feet, for $4,000. Mr.. Biz
zell has bought for immediate improve
ment.
Crestmont is situated in the old city
limits north of Sunset boulevard, and
is attracting wide attention because OF
the early completion of the subway line
through the Hill street tunnel and the
improvement of Sunset boulevard. The
street improvements in Crestmont are
of the highest order and consist of
retaining walls, terraces, concrete gut
tiers, walks and curbs, with palms,
flowers and ornamental trees planted
on the lots and in the parkings. Part
of the lots are covered with old pepper
trees and the street corners are
adorned with ornamental electroliers.

BEAUMONT GIVES
TONE TO REALTY
BEARS EVIDENCE OF DEMAND
FOR FRUIT LANDS
EAsTERNERs BUY ACREAGE IN
RICH APPLE BELT
Beaumont Company Widens Scope by
Adding Four Miles of Steel Pipe
to Water System-other
Improvements

Splendid evidence of the widespread
demand for Southern California fruit
lands is furnished by purchases during
the week on the part of representatives
of eastern states Of fifty acres of Beau
mont apple lands and several city lots
for total consideration of 1880. MOST
of the acreage was taken in tlVe ana
ten acre parcels, on which size ranches
it has been shown that a family may
be supported and kept busy All of the
land in question carries water rights
and includes the delivery of water to
the line of the property.
Keeping abreast of the sales of land,
Beaumont's water development is as
Stunning a constantly widening scope to
the degree that over four miles OF
steel pipes will be required to lay the
latest unit of the water systm. Each
five-acre tract will be reached by a
steel main with cold and pure noun
tain water under fifty to eighty pounds
pressure, so that ranchers may enjoy
the benefits, as in the city, of water
distribution for plumbing and other
uses in the home. This will also obviate
the necessity of settling cisterns such
as are necessary in some irrigation dis
tricts where the water in the bitches Is
heavily impregnated with mud and
silt.
Beneficent in it's effect is the newly
devised system of the land company in
giving to land purchasers the prefer
ence in the matter of employment in
all forms of work consequent to the
development of the colony.
Homeseekers Supplement Work
Dozens of homeseekers have been on
the payroll in various capacities. such
as clearing lands, ploughing, planting
and laying water pipes. Likewise many
of the new ranchers' teams have
found work at good wages, all of which
has been the means of assisting many
colonists in paying for their lands
while they are waiting for their
orchards to mature. The average
monthly payroll so distributed is said
to amount to nearly $4,000.
Following the opening of the Bank
of Beaumont money received from
various crops will now be deposited al
home, thereby providing funds for the
expansion of commercial business as
we'll as loans to the new ranchers fol
the handling of their crops and erec-
ton of buildings and other improve
ments.
Contracts for planting trees have
been awarded by Miss J. H. Street
Highland Park, ILL.,, five acres of pear:
and apples; Dales & Karstadt tel

have been extende to sixty acres, com
prising over 5000 apple, pear and peach
trees. Strawberry plants set out two

INGLEWOOD PROVES
IDEAL FOR LEMONS
PROPERTY RETURNS $1,000 AN
ACRE
Water Company Puts Additional 1850
Acres on the Market, Seeded to
Alfalfa, Without Extra Ex-
pense to Purchaser

The Inglewood Rancho company re-
ports a steady demand for it's property
which is located on the Los Angeles
Redondo car line, one mile south OF
Inglewood and three miles from Los
Angeles.
Freeman H. Bloodgood, who recently
purchased five acres in the rancho,
after looking for land in different parts
of Southern California, has selected
land in Inglewood rancho as being adj
mirable for the culture of, lemons. Mr..
Bloodgood intends to prepare his
ground at once and plant five acres
of lemon trees. There is a fiVe-acre
lemon grove adjoining the property
which is paying on an average of $1,000
an acre each year.
The soil in Inglewood rancho is eX-
cellent for lemons and all kinds of
small fruits, plums, prunes, etc, as
we'll as for all classes of vegetables.
The IngleWood Water company is
putting an additional 100 acres on the
market which is all seeded to alfalfa
without extra expense to the purchas-
err. One hundred and thirty acres of
this land has two years stand of
alfalfa on it, thus assuring the pur-
chasers of this land immediate returns
and a steady income.
There are now twenty-siX houses
completed and under the course of con-
struction.
Arrangements are now being per-
fected for the establishment of school
on the property, which will no doubt
be in operation this fall.
To show that this property is we'll
thought of by the people living in that
vicinity the manager of the land owned
by the Inglewood Water company has
purchased four acres in the rancho for
his own use. Also the foreman of the
famous Lockhart rancho has purchased
two acres for his home.

BIG GULF COAST
PROVES A TRUTH
SETTLES THOUSANDS ON FIVE
ACRE FARMS
Said to Be a Second California in eli.

Travel in Regions
History

When Theodore Roosevelt said that
five acres was enough for one family
he must have been thinking of the
Texas gulf coast country, for this sec
ton seems to be demonstrating the
truthfulness of this assertion.
The past few years there has been a
very heavy immigration from the north
and east to this section, and where for
merly were ranches containing thou
sands of acres are today small five, ten
and twenty acre farms.
This is particularly true of the rain
belt of Texas, as in this section expen-
sive irrigation is entirely done away
with. Ample rainfall, coming at the
proper season of the year. is one of the
greatest blessings showered on the
small farmer.
This section may truly be said to be
second California in climate. Seldom
is an overcoat necessary in the coolest
season of the year, while the hottest
days of summer seldom show higher
temperature than 80 degrees. In fact
the mean average highest temperature
of the Houston Galveston district is 81
degrees.
In this section garden vegetables,
strawberries, fruits, ETC., are ready for
the market when northern and eastern
farms simply cannot produce them.
Strawberries are ripe in December and
January and other products are on the
market weeks before any other section
can produce them.
Unlimited Possibilities
When Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secre-
tary of the interior under Presidents
Mckinley and Roosevelt went to the
Texas gulf coast he said while there:
IF l were a young man again, just
starting out for myself, l would go to
Texas and locate in the gulf coast
country. The possibilities are limitless.
1t is wonderful when you think of it,
raising two crops a year ON the same
ground. Some of the results that have
been obtained in that section are hard
to believe"
During February the railways operat-
ing in this section reported the heaviest
rush of homeseekers ever known, while
in March they were still coming in
seemingly equal numbers.
Several subd- visions are on sale in
this section at easy payments, and all
companies report a very satisfactory

IS CHRIST SOON TO
VISIT EARTH AGAIN7

NEW. YORK, aug S.--Mrs. Annie Be-
can't. head of the philosophical society
and successor to Nine. Blavatslxy, who
arrived in this country from her home in
India on. Saturday, has announced her
belief that Christ will soon.-n axe an
other personal visit on earth. She says
that the spirit of Christ would manifest
itself through the specially gifted physical
body of some western person, possibly
woman, but more than likely a man.
During Mrs. Besant's first lecture in
this country on this visit she was asked
If Christ was in incarnation. now.
He is she replied. He Is always in
somebody. When he. comes next to. be
known he will. think, choose some new
body. 1t may be that this body will have
been already trained for some atiTne by
another. Christ will inhabit IL. There
are signs that the Supreme Teacher will
come to earth shortly. Let us hope-that
He will be allowed to stay among US
longer than three years. Maybe some Of
you think you would not have crucifed
Him in the old Judean days. Try to
place yourself in that environment and
you will see that you most likely would
have been of those who did want to
kill Him then. --.t.. 49, s,,t.
"'How shall we know Him 2 you ask.
Some of US who feel Him now will know
Him intuitively. Others who have not
reached that level must cultivate them
selves Never try TO Justify yourself when
accused of anything. Make no defense.
Bow your head and let the accusations be
made. Be patient. be tolerant and do
not argue. And in time you will be able
to feel His presence intuitively. maybe
by the time He comes next again.
