TRUSTEES WRESTLE WITH MANY SUBJECTS GRANT S. P. R'Y RIGHT OF WAY FOR CONNECTING SWITCH WITH SANTA FE The Two Roads to Be Linked Together for the Benefit of Sugar Factory — Contract for New Dynamo Held Up for Modification—Judge Howard Granted 15 Days’ Leave of Absence — Crowther’s Band Given Right of Way on Sidewalk—Reports, Etc. The proposed construction of a “Y” or switch connecting the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads was discussed and wrangled over by the city trustees Thursday evening. The matter was introduced by the presentation of a petition of the Southern Pacific officials asking a right of way from a connecting point with their tracks on Santa Ana street near the depot, across Kroeger street and an alley to Atchison street. From this point the Santa Fe people will take it up and carry it on to a connection with their track near the Broadway crossing. Two or three members of the board aided and abetted by Superintendent of Streets Kellenberger, were disposed to hold the matter up until certain demands for the improvement of the S. P. company’s track on Olive street had been complied with, and which had hitherto been refused or ignored, but H. S. Hadsall, manager of the sugar factory, who was lobbying for the resolution, explained that the switch was being built for the benefit of the sugar factory, and the railway officials were so indifferent to the matter that they would make no concessions in order to secure the right of way. “We have been endeavoring since the 20th of August,” said Mr. Hadsall, “to induce the railroads to build this switch and have only just succeeded in securing favorable action. In granting this right of way you are not granting favors to the S. P. company; it is the sugar Treasurer’s Report Balance on hand, May 10 $7190.08 Collected during month 3096.98 Total $10,287.06 Paid by warrants 3,358.03 Balance on hand $6929.03 Library fund: Balance last report $391.73 Paid by warrants 70.50 Balance on hand $321.23 Summary General fund $6929.03 Library fund 321.23 1910 Bond 1269.66 Improvement fund No. 1 772.50 Improvement fund No. 2 126.00 Improvement fund No. 3 351.00 Improvement fund No. 4 2280.00 Improvement fund No. 5 687.50 Electric light fund 8553.00 Improvement bond fund 80.28 Total in treasury $21,370.20 UNDERGROUND WATERS Department of Agriculture Reports on Investigations at Pomona The United States department of agriculture has issued a bulletin upon the use of underground water for irrigation at Pomona, a copy of which has been forwarded this office. The report is written by C. E. Tait, irrigation engineer, acting under direction of Samuel Fortier, chief of irrigation investigations, and is of great interest to users of water throughout Southern California, where irrigation has developed into a science exceeding that displayed in any other section of the country. Much of the water used for irrigation in Southern California, says the report, is pumped from wells, and there are no sections where water is used more economically. This fact has been brought about by a strong combination of influences. One of these is the characteristics of the settlers themselves, who are mostly people of means and education, having come from Eastern States to enjoy the climate and other attractions for which the section is noted. Profes- which had mutterto been refused of ignored, but H. S. Hadsall; manager of the sugar factory, who was lobbying for the resolution, explained that the switch was being built for the benefit of the sugar factory, and the railway officials were so indifferent to the matter that they would make no concessions in order to secure the right of way. "We have been endeavoring since the 20th of August," said Mr. Hadsall, "to induce the railroads to build this switch and have only just succeeded in securing favorable action. In granting this right of way you are not granting favors to the S. P. company; it is the sugar factory that is vitally interested. A large acreage of our beets is in S. P. territory, and will be shipped to Anaheim on S. P. cars, and it is necessary for us to have this switch in order to get those cars to the factory." A resolution prepared by City Attorney Ames granting the right of way under certain restrictions was then introduced and passed by a unanimous vote. The board refused to accept the contract submitted by the Pacific Coast Manufacturing Co. for the payments on the new dynamo purchased at the last regular session. According to its provisions the board was required to pay one-third ($2525) on required to pay one-third (2525) on receipt of the bill of lading, one-third on arrival of the machinery, and the balance after installation and test. The board objected to making a payment a week or two before the arrival of the engine, and the attorney was instructed to submit a modified contract to the company. The petition of John Resh for a pipe line extension to his residence on East street was denied. A communication was received from the library board notifying the trustees that the terms of W. O. F. Schwenckert and E. Kate Rea would expire on July 1st. The library board recommended the reappointment of Miss Rea and submitted a list of ladies from which to select a successor to Mr. Schwenckert, but the trustees decided to defer action until the next regular meeting. Judge Howard petitioned for a fifteen days' leave of absence, beginning July 1st, which was granted on Marshal Kellenberger's promise to keep all violators of ordinances in jail until he returns. The Judge's report for the past month shows 18 convictions in his court and fines collected to the amount of $50. Several of the number received jail sentences. A petition of a number of residents on East Broadway and Vine streets asking that those roads be oiled was placed on file. The petition of Mrs. Bennerscheldt requesting that Third Street South, a short street running from Los Angeles to Lemon, be oiled, and agreeing to pay for the oil, was granted, and the street commissioner instructed to oil the same. Building permits were solicited by only two persons, as follows: J. Armand, frame residence on Adele street; cost $1100. Much of the water used for irrigation in Southern California, says the report, is pumped from wells, and there are no sections where water is used more economically. This fact has been brought about by a strong combination of influences. One of these is the characteristics of the settlers themselves, who are mostly people of means and education, having come from Eastern States to enjoy the climate and other attractions for which the section is noted. Professional men, business men, and farmers alike have come to lead a retired life and to engage in fruit growing, which appealed to them as a method by which they can augment their means and at the same time live a more independent and outdoor life devoid of the hard labor of their former occupations. The kind of communities that have been built up is another important factor. These represent one of the highest types of agricultural settlements and the rural homes found in them are unsurpassed in this country. The land holdings are small, the predominating sizes being 10-acre orchards and 40 to 80-acre alfalfa farms and are bunched together into settlements. This leads to a lively exchange of ideas and to a strong rivalry between localities. The corporate limits of the towns are so extensive that often they include most of the orchards around the business centers, from which avenues lead out into the country for miles. There is in a single county 25 incorporated cities, and $3,500,000 is being spent on highway improvements outside of the limits of the cities. The fruit growers have been ready to band together in movements for whatever might be beneficial to them. The organization for marketing fruit is the most proficient of its kind in existence, and has placed the citrus industry on a sound commercial basis. Active farmers' clubs have been effective in leading to progress in all industrial methods. But the most potent factor has been the fact that the water supply was limited and expensive, while there were exceptional possibilities of achievement, both agriculturally and in the creation of high property values and beautiful estates. Few agricultural pursuits yield as large profits as the growing of citrus fruits and the other products which have been the source of much of the wealth of Southern California. The localities where soil and climate permit these industries are rare, and the temptation to extend them to the utmost possible limit is great. It is only natural that measures should be taken for protection of rights, conservation of resources, and economy in use of that which is both expensive and the base not only of the prosperity, but of the very existence of the communities. It is natural, with a strong incentive for economy, a high average intelligence, fairly adequate finances, and unusual possibilities, that there should be a strong tendency to study Southern California where irrigation has developed into a science exceeding that displayed in any other section of the country.

Hart petitioned for three additional lights on Claudina street, agreeing to pay the cost of installation. The request was granted and Manager Lewis was instructed to place one light in the rear of the city hall, one in front of Joseph Helmsen's residence, and the other near the foot of Claudina street. Marshal Kellenberger wanted to know if Crowther's juvenile band had authority to obstruct the sidewalks and blockade the streets on Saturday nights, or whether he should request the boys to "move on" hereafter. On motion of Nebelung the band was granted permission to occupy the sidewalks, but the marshal was given discretionary powers in the matter. Following are the reports of the marshal and treasurer for the past month: Marshal's Report Collected for light $1282.95 Collected for water 747.85 Collected for license 599.00 Total $2629.80 Delinquents collected: For light $39.20 For water 34.00 Penalties 6.60 Total $79.80 Delinquents reported: For light $63.25 For water 69.30 For license 3.50 Total $136.05 use of better and more economical methods in other localities where natural forces prompting improvement are less strong. The extent of agriculture in the West will be limited by the water available instead of the land irrigable, and the time is approaching when further extension will depend entirely upon the saving of water, and it is therefore impossible to predict what methods the future will bring forth in any locality. The settlements or communities of Southern California are often referred to as districts, but as the use of this term might lead to confusing the region under consideration with the systems under the State irrigation law, in this report it has been called, for want of a better term, Pomona Valley. It does not include all of the valley of San Antonio Creek, a large part of which is overlapped by the Ontario settlement. Pomona Valley lies between the San Gabriel Mountains on the north and the Puente and Chino Hills on the south. The San Jose Hills project into the valley from the west, and are not connected either with the mountains on the north or the hills on the south, a long, narrow valley opening out toward the west being left on either side of them. The open country of the San Bernardino Basin stretches eastward unobstructed until it reaches the San Bernardino Range, 35 miles distant. The greater part of the region is situated in the eastern part of Los Angeles county. A portion is in San Bernardino county, the county line almost coinciding with the main channel of San Antonio Wash. The City of Pomona is located at the eastern end of the San Jose Hills in the center of the valley, and has an area of 12 square miles and a population of 10,207. It is difficult to draw a distinct line between the city and the surrounding country, although its commercial business is confined to a comparatively small area. The two merge and the whole is a rural community with good homes, well-improved avenues, electric street railways, excellent schools and libraries, and high moral influences. Claremont the home of Pomona College, joins Pomona on the northeast. Lordsburg, which was colonized by a religious sect joins Pomona on the northwest winter season. Their full force has been felt only a few times, and although the edge of a "norther" sometimes reaches Pomona, the most noticeable effect is the floating down of the dust. The rainfall is watched with great interest, not only on account of its effect in replenishing the subterranean water, but also for its direct benefit to crops. The amount of rainfall is such that if it were properly distributed, only little supplemental irrigation would be necessary, but unfortunately the distribution is very unequal. The rainfall has been measured at Pomona for the last twenty-six years by the Pomona Land and Water Company, and the average annual precipitation for that period is 19.79 inches. While some water is used through the winer, the irrigation season proper is from May to October, inclusive, during which period the mean rainfall is 1.94 inches as against 17.85 inches for the other six months. The mean for March, 4.28 inches, is the highest, while more than one-half the total annual precipitation occurs in January, February, and March. It has rained only three times in July in twenty-six years. The unequal distribution of the rainfall and the need of supplying water by irrigation during the summer months are clearly shown. WHEN THE GATES ARE OPEN San Diego Will Have a Thing or Two to Show the People SAN DIEGO, June 14.—When the gates of San Diego are thrown open to the thousands of visitors during the ground breaking celebration July 19 to 22, a welcome will be extended such as will be new even in this land of world renowned hospitality. Besides an entertainment which will be unique in all its aspects, visitors will find a well-organized reception plan which will insure them quarters according to their own ideas of expense and a city where every citizen has constituted himself a host who will guarantee comfort and a square deal. The mission parade which will be one of the big features of the four days celebration is attracting attention all over the country. As a matter of fact this is the first time a the eastern end of the San Jose Hills in the center of the valley, and has an area of 12 square miles and a population of 10,207. It is difficult to draw a distinct line between the city and the surrounding country, although its commercial business is confined to a comparatively small area. The two merge and the whole is a rural community with good homes, well-improved avenues, electric street railways, excellent schools and libraries, and high moral influences. Claremont the home of Pomona College, joins Pomona on the northeast. Lordsburg, which was colonized by a religious sect, joins Pomona on the northwest San Dimas, at the extreme northwest of the region, is an important point for packing and shipping fruit. Chino, to the southeast of Pomoona, in San Bernardino county, has a beet-sugar factory. North Pomona, a station on the Santa Fe railroad, is a part of Pomona. The village of Spadra is located in the dale of San Jose Creek west of Pomona, and La Verne is an old settlement on the mesa northwest of Lordsburg. The valley is traversed from east to west by three trunk railways. The Southern Pacific crosses through the center and leads to Los Angeles by way of San Jose Creek. A branch leaves the main line at Ontario, detours southward through Chino, and after returning to and crossing the main line at Pomona runs north of the San Jose Hills, finally returning to the main line before reaching Los Angeles. The Santa Fe crosses the northern part of the valley and passes through Claremont, Lordsburg, and San Dimas. The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake parallels the main line of the Southern Pacific through the valley. An electric railway from Los Angeles to Pomona is nearly completed. The soil of the valley in general ranges from a gravelly loam near the foothills on the north to a sandy loam at the hills on the south. Here and there are found stretches of clay or adobe, principally where the slope of the valley meets the San Jose, Puente, and Chino Hills. This latter class of soils is very tight and difficult to irrigate properly. The various grades of sandy loam which predominate through the central portion of the valley lend themselves best to irrigation. The gravelly soil near the mountains takes water very readily. The slope is from north to south at a rapidly decreasing rate of fall, the land near Claremont having a fall of about 100 feet to the mile, while in the southern part of the valley the fall is only one-half as great. The soil is very fertile. It is difficult to classify Southern California, exclusive of the inland deserts, in regard to its aridity. Its rainfall is that of a semiarid region, but its semitropical climate and comparatively dry atmosphere make it in some respects strictly arid, according to the generally accepted meaning of these terms. The days of the summer and early fall are hot and dry except for an occasional fog, but there is a great daily range of temperature and the nights usually are such as will be new even in this land of world renowned hospitality. Besides an entertainment which will be unique in all its aspects, visitors will find a well-organized reception plan which will insure them quarters according to their own ideas of expense and a city where every citizen has constituted himself a host who will guarantee comfort and a square deal. The mission parade which will be one of the big features of the four days celebration is attracting attention all over the country. As a matter of fact this is the first time a religious pageant has ever been given in this country, and the first for more than 150 years that has been given in the world. It will also be the first pageant ever presented of the earlier historical events of the Pacific coast. During the past week several of the mission floats were completed. The celebration committee is now busy arranging a number of sporting events. Among other doings will be the races by yachtts of the world for a gold cup offered by the Panama-California Exposition. More than two hundred floats have already been entered for the big industrial parade and there is a lively competition for the different prizes offered. July 22d is the date selected for the first of the series of yacht races open to any craft in the world. The conditions under which the cup may be won are as follows: First: The name of this cup shall be the Panama-California Exposition Cup. Second: The title to this cup shall be in the San Diego Yacht Club of San Diego, California, until permanently won under the conditions hereafter mentioned. Third: There shall be one day of racing each year under the measurements, rating and sailing rules of the San Diego Yacht Club as now existing, or which may hereafter be adopted by said club, provided; no change in the racing rules of the said club shall affect the races for this cup unless such change be made at least two months previous to the date of the race. The race shall be over an equilateral triangle two nautical miles to each leg, twice around, making a total of twelve nautical miles. The club in which the winning boat is enrolled shall have the right to hold the cup until the first of June of the next following year, at which time it shall be delivered in good condition to The San Diego Yacht Club of San Diego, the Commodore of the club holding the cup, being responsible for such delivery. Fourth: The first owner winning this cup three times with one or more yachts belonging to him and regularly enrolled in any yacht club of satisfactory standing in any part of the world shall have same for his permanent property. Fifth: The owner or owners of any yacht winning this cup shall have the right to have engraved on same its name, the name of the club, the races, in a neat plain manner.

It is difficult to classify Southern California exclusive of the inland deserts, in regard to its aridity. Its rainfall is that of a semiarid region, but its semitropical climate and comparatively dry atmosphere make it in some respects strictly arid, according to the generally accepted meaning of these terms. The days of the summer and early fall are hot and dry except for an occasional fog, but there is a great daily range of temperature and the nights usually are cool. The winters are very mild, the late winter and early spring being the rainy season. Few of the fruit-growing sections are entirely free from frost, but the frosts seldom are heavy enough to do any damage. They are too heavy, however, in the lower portions of most of the valleys for citrus fruits, the culture of which is limited to the better protected and more nearly frostless areas near the hills or mountains. The prevailing winds are slightly south of west and are mild sea breezes which have traveled 35 miles from the coast. They enter the valley by way of San Jose Creek and San Dimas Pass, where, being confined to a narrow space, they are intensified and temper the summer heat. As they pass eastward they gradually lose their force. The winds usually rise in the forenoon and increase in velocity until nightfall, when they cease. Their drying effect is neutralized in a measure by fogs, many of which come as far inland as Pomona. The fogs occur more frequently during the rainy season, but occasionally in other seasons, and they usually come in the night and often last until noon the following day. Investigations by this office show the evaporation near Pomona to be 65 inches per annum. (U.S. Dept. Agr., office Expt. Stas. Bul. 177). The valley is practically free from the strong cold and dusty winds known as "northers," which come down over the Sierra Madre Range and sweep across the greater part of the San Bernardino Basin in the Fourth: The first owner winning this cup three times with one or more yachts belonging to him and regularly enrolled in any yacht club of satisfactory standing in any part of the world shall have same for his permanent property. Fifth: The owner or owners of any yacht winning this cup shall have the right to have engraved on same, its name, the name of the club, the races, in a neat plain manner. Sixth: Any yacht of any type belonging to any yacht club of satisfactory standing in any part of the world shall have the right to compete. Seventh: The San Diego Yacht Club shall, before the first day of April of each year, set the dates on which the race shall be sailed, and the secretary shall promptly notify the secretaries of all yacht clubs on the Pacific coast. Eighth: Should any dispute arise as to the qualifications of any boat or boats, or any other question concerning the races for this cup, other than of infringement or meaning of the racing rules of the San Diego Yacht Club during a race, such question is to be decided by a committee appointed by the managemet of the Panama-California Exposition; but a question of infringement or of the meaning of the racing rules of the San Diego Yacht Club shall be decided by the Regatta Committee of the Club. Ninth: All races are to be held in the open sea, and in the waters of San Diego of a depth of not less than three fathoms at ordinary low tide. Having purchased a 5-horse-power vacuum cleaner, I shall be pleased to receive orders for cleaning carpets, rugs, mattresses, or anything else about the house. Telephone Pacific 1056.

Whether there was a deep snow or violent winds to be faced or mountainous pressure ridges to be climbed over, the march of the pioneer party must be made, for past experience had proved that whatever distance was covered by the advance party with its light sledges could be covered in less time by the main party even with heavily loaded sledges, because the main party, having the trail to follow, was not obliged to waste time in reconnoitering. "In other words, the pioneer party was the pacemaker of the expedition, and whatever distance it made was the measure of accomplishment for the main party. The leader of the pioneer party, in the first instance Bartlett, would start out ahead of his division, usually of the snowshoes. Then the light sledges of the party would follow after. Thus the leader of the pioneer division was pioneering ahead of his own party, and that whole division was pioneering ahead of the main party." "One great advantage which I had on this expedition was that, owing to the size of my party, whenever the men in this pioneer division became exhausted with their arduous labor and lack of sleep I could withdraw them into the main party and send out a fresh division to take their place. A large party is absolutely necessary to success." Thursday, June 15 YOUNG MANA BANK ACCOUNT WILL GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY= START NOW.
