What steps may be taken by a grateful nation to show its appreciation of the great work this man has accomplished in the face of incalculable and almost inconceivable obstacles is not a matter with which Col. Goethals is willing to concern himself with saying: "I have merely carried out my orders." A step marking another great advance in building in the business district of the city was taken Friday when the cornerstone of the new Masonic temple costing $35,000 at corner of Center and Emily streets was laid.

Los Angeles and Center streets were the only thoroughfares. The early settlers drew lots for the tracts, those acquiring the land adjacent to the two streets paid more, in proportion, for the acreage than those who drew the lots lying on the extreme edge of the colony. The tract situated on the south-west corner of Los Angeles and Center streets was set aside for the public buildings, which consisted of the town hall and the school, both plain wooden structures. The Pioneers built modest homes for their families. The land was intensely cultivated, fruits and vegetables being raised for home consumption. The major portion of the land was devoted to raising grapes for wine making. A willow fence surrounded each 20-acre tract, and as the willows grew, they formed a thick hedge, primarily to keep out roving herds of cattle. Water was obtained from the Santa Ana river, easily accessible, and that gave this section priority rights to the water of the river which hold good, legally, to this day. The Pioneers were hard working people, honest and frugal, and were held in high esteem by all who knew them. Their foresight was good and through their efforts George Hatfield Visits in Co Lieutenant-Governor George Hatfield, candidate for the lican nomination for governor in Orange county Tuesdaying with prominent repre- leaders and veterans, w sponsoring his candidacy.
