RAMONA PARK IS
AN IDEAL SUBURB
WITH ADVANTAGES
Althouse Bros, report a brisk demand for
good residence lots. This is particularly true
of lots in the suburban districts, especially at
beautiful Ramona Park. A number of sales
have been made at this point in the last few
weeks to eastern cash buyers who are pur
chasing for an investment. This is a rapidly
growing section and the construction of a
number of beautiful homes in this locality will
begin in the immediate future and plans are
now being drawn for same.
Ramona. Park is a suburb of the city cf Al
nambra. and embraces the advantages of both
city and country life, being conveniently situ
ated on one of the best car lines in and around
Los Angeles, namely the new Covina line. The
mountain view is superb and the soil is fertile.
To those who appreciate pure mountain air
and the freedom of suburban life a more ideal
spot for a home is vet to be found.

eventually vastly improve the trans
portation facilities of the rich Imperial
valley. Heavier steel will be laid on
the Imperial branch as soon as the
railroad company gets around to it,
and when that is done it is the inten

Inter-California road, and then up
through the Imperial valley, reaching
the present main line again at Imperial

The rush into the Imperial country

PLANS ABROAD FOR
ASPARAGUS CANNERY
IMPERIAL PRODUCTION WILL
JUSTIFY VENTURE
Factory Is Desired to Consume Vege
tables After Price Declines at
Height of Season—Large
Acreage Ahead
IMPERIAL, Feb. 13.—That Imperial
will have an asparagus cannery next
year seems almost certain. The grow
ers, and they are quite numerous, are
giving considerable attention to the
subject, and they believe the output
next season will be sufficient to make
the cannery highly desirable.
This year the crop is a full month
earlier than it was last year, and so
far as returns have been received the
prices are highly satisfactory. On the
coast the price has run from 50 to 60
cents a pound, and it is hoped that
the returns from the early shipments
to the east will show even better re
turns, no one having yet heard from
a shipment to the eastern cities, though
several shipments are now on the road
by express.
There will be no carload shipments
of asparagus from the valley this year,
but it is believed by next year there
will be a number of shipments by the
car, and it may be that daily carload
shipments may be made during the
season.
From the fields in the northern por
tion of the state no carload shipments
are made until April, and this valley
will be able to command the market
for a month before the northern fields
get busy.
The cannery is desired to consume
the product after the price has de
clined somewhat, to take care of the
surplus above that w^hlch the market
will take up at fancy prices.
There is a large acreage of asparagu9
which is not in production this year,
but will be along next year and the
year after, and the output of the val
ley will increase rapidly from this
time on.
TEMECULA RANCH SELLS
FOR $13,000; 400 ACRES
W. C. Garner has closed a deal for
a large tract of land, four miles from
Temecula, the property being sold by
R. F. Garner of San Bernardino to An
gelo Canterino of Temecula.
The tract is one of 400 acres of land
and in the past was used only as graz
ing land. It is, however, excellent soil
and the new owner announces that he
will develop water and then plant the
land to alfalfa. It is said that an abun
dant supply of water can be" secured at
a depth of not over twenty-five feet,
and by. installing pumping plants suf
ficient water can be had to irrigate the
entire tract. The purchase price was
$13,000.

At Azusa three lots have been sold by W H
and J. T. Davis to Mrs. Minnie A. j,ong for
$900. The buyer also secured three other lots

Thousands of Persons Are Swindled
Through Unjust Mechanics' Lien Laws
"Bungalows and Cottages in South
ern California" is the title of the lat
est souvenir edition of the Home
Builder, published by the Los Angeles
Investment company. This book is an
improvement over even the preceding
issues, which were at once attractive
and useful to the prospective builder.
This book presents houses and plans
as built and streets and tracts as de
veloped by the Los Angeles Invest
ment company. The cuts are numer
ous, showing floor plans, houses,
streets and tracts, together with views
of the company's own lumber mills
and yards.
The reading matter is replete with
useful information as t o houses and
methods of building. But above all,
the book is most useful to the prospec
tive builder for what it says concern
ing the unjust mechanics' lien laws of
California, which give swindlers and
thieves a wide berth. On this subject
the book says:
"Thousands of persons who have
built horrnes have been swindled under
the unjust 'mechanics' lien' laws of
California. This law provides that any
person who has furnished material
and labor for any house may sell the
house to get his pay, even if the owner
has paid the contractor in full and has
had no dealings with the material men
or laborers.
"This law, while the intention was
good, has proved a trap for many
persons. Dishonest contractors wiil
take a contract for building at a lov;
figure, get their money, and weeks
enty-flve persons a day- are going into
the valley.
The new region which will be made
available to settlement along the inter
national boundary from Calexico to the
Colorado river is said to be fully as
rich as the Imperial valley proper,
being the same kind of soil —the rich
silt brought down through ages past
by the Colorado.
The heavy transcontinental trains
cannot be run . over the Imperial
branch until heavier rails are laid, but
passenger • traffic officials are figuring
on giving the Imperial towns better
service in the meantime than thej
have at present.
ARROYO SECO BRIDGE
PLANS ARE COMPLETE
GREAT STRUCTURE TO COST
$150,000
Committee Feels Confident of Success,
with Assistance of Cities, County
and Various Railroads
Concerned
Plans have been prepared for the im
mense traffic bridge^ which it is pro
posed to erect over the Arroyo Seco
at South Pasadena connecting Avenue
Sixty-six in Garvanza and Mission
street. The committee of seven, of
which George W. Wilson of South Pas
adena is chairman, and Carl Packard
of Highland Park is secretary, has had
plans drawn for a concrete structure
which will cost $150,000. It will bo 950
feet long and 75 feet wide and will have
14 spans each 60 feet in length, and
eight piers.
Though the bridge will cost such a
great sum, the committee feels confi
dent of success. The cost will be borne
by the cities of Los Angeles and South
Pasadena, Los Angeles county, the Salt
Lake and Pacific Electric roads. It is
planned to use the structure for all
kinds of traffic, and for that reason
the railroad companies will be invited
to contribute to the cost of the struc
ture.
The proposed bridge wfl] provide a
straight course across the arroyo and
will cut off the present circuitous route
followed by pedestrians and vehicles.
The Los Angeles approach to the new
bridge will be at the intersection of
Avenue Sixty-six and Pasadena ave
nue, within four blocks of the new bou
levard which is being made to connect
with Pasadena avenue.
It is understood that the Salt Lake
company feels favorably toward the
proposed bridge and that it is willing
to enter into a contract to assist in
the building of the bridge. Though
the Pacific Electric road has just about
decided to build a new bridge of its
own across the arroyo, it is believed
bridge project. A mass meeting is be
that it can be interested in the big
ing talked of again for the near future.
NEW SUBDIVISION OPENS
IN SOUTH PASADENA TRACT
Ingram & Briggs have opened a new subdi
vision in the choice portion of South Pasadena,

Sale at Fullerton
At Fullerton a twenty-flve-aere orange grove
owned by Thum brothers has been sold to Lee
Myers at reported price of $25,000. The land
is in a high state of cultivation, the trees be
ing twelve years old. At the town of Wasco
a forty-aero ranch was exchanged by A. S.
Bradford for a residence at Anaheim, owned
by K. K. Angell, and valued at $4500.
after the job is finished workmen and
material dealer* will demand pay for
what the owner has already paid the
contractor, and then they have the
right to sell the houtv from over the
owner's head if the bills arc not paid
again.
"It is said that there are dealers in
building material who make a business
of selling to irresponsible contractors
at a high price, depending on the lien
laws to make the owner pay them.
"A house is like a suit of clothes, its
value depends on how long it will
wear, more than on its appearance.
Many houses that have a beautiful ap
pearance are mere shells and quickly
jgo to pieces. Buttermilk, coal oil and
water, mixed, look nicer when new
than genuine paint. One nail may be
driven where three should be used.
"The builder may put in three times
as much sand in the mortar or plaster
las is proper. He may leave out brac
ing, use poor lumber and cheap, thinly
Plated hardware, the plating of which
comes off after a few months' wear: he
may use putty for plumbing his joints
instead of lead—which is a crime
against the health of the family, but
saves money: his bath tubs and sinks
may be of the cheapest glazed ware,
which in a short time will crack and
scale. He may use a thin, cheap grade
of shingles, with half as many nails as
arc necessary; th>en in a year or so a
new roof is required.
"In fact, the only protection an own
er has is the reputation and honesty
of the builder." j

Two honjeseekers' excursions * were
taken to Beaumont during the week
and despite the rain sales of apple land
aggregating $6550 were made. G. H.
Bailey of Billings, Mont, purchased
about nine acres for $2400, and R. C.
Newton bought two acres adjoining for
$550. Both are negotiating with the
Sower Orchard company for the
planting of apples, pears and other
fruits. George Reeg of La Mirada,
made his third purchase, taking eigh
teen acres in section 11 for $1710, which
gives him a total of 185 acres in Beau
mont representing an investment of
$17,400. Mr. Reeg will enter apple
growing and poultry farming on a
1 rge scale.
Frank C. Keller of Tropico acquired
ten acres of irrigated apple land and
twenty acres of grain and eucalyptus
acreage in the Cherry Valley West ad
dition for a total of $2800. He will have
the property planted to trees at once,
lie made the purchase as an invest
ment.
All unirrigated lands in the valley
have stiffened in price as a result of
the heavy rainfall of over sixteen
inches, and farmers are predicting the
greatest grain and fruit crop in the
history of Beaumont, the prospective
output being estimated at 175,000 sacks
of barley, wheat and oats, 10,000 tons of
hay and $90,000 worth of apples.
Eucalyptus trees to plant twenty
acres in Cherry Valley "West for the
Beaumont Eucalyptus association,
composed of Beaumont business men,
are being propagated preparatory to
transplanting in the spring, the con
tract having been awarded to Burson
€-. Mears. Fully 200,000 eucalyptus
trees will be set out in the next three
months and the industry has received
a decided impetus through favorable
results obtained from over 30,000 eu
calyptus trees growing along the
streets of Beaumont that were planted
twenty years ago. In many cases the
trimmings from these trees supplies
all necessary wood for fuel and utility
purposes for lot owners.
Building continues active and new
structures are being erected by Alex
