ORANGE RAISERS

POMONA GROWERS BUY RICH
BEST RANCH
REDLANDs MEN CONTEMPLATE
DEAL IN APPLE LAND
Heavy Transactions Result from Big
Purchase Near Beaumont and Sur
Vey for Proposed Railroad
Through Tract

Increasing interest in Beaumont ap-
pie lands was shown by the sales dur
ing the week of the apple ranch of G.
w Best, four miles north of the town
site, for $4,000 and the closing of other
transactions in the Beaumont colony
aggregating forty-five acres for $3.50.
The purchasers of the Best property
are said to be we'll known orange
raisers of Pomona, who expect to en-
ter apple growing on a large scale.
The crop on the Best ranch Is one of
the heaviest ever known and is esti-
mated at $500.
Redlands investors, representing a
coterie of the best known orange grow
ers there, are said to be negotiating for
the purchase of the famous Lukens
apple ranch, located west of the Best
ranch, and the reported terms of the
deal will call for a cash payment of
about $4,000. Apples from the Lukens
orchard took first prize at the st. Louis
worlds fair.
Among other reasons that account for
these heavy transactions in the Beau
mont district was the definite an
nouncement during the week of the pur-
chase of the Dunlap ranch, between
Beaumont and Redlands, by syndi-
cate headed by Neeland and Newmark,
Los Angeles bankers and capitalists,
and the news that an electric railroad
may be constructed to open up the in
tervening territory. Preliminary sur
veys of the proposed railroad are said
to show an easy grade along the foot
hills north of Beaumont, and property
along the new line is exhibiting great
activity, one instance being the Mellen
ranch, for which several buyers are
known to be negotiating with Beau
mont brokers.
