N SANTA ANA LETTER.
NUMBER TWO.


EDITOR HERALD: Having seen so
much written of Southern California
in general and many places in partic-
ular, and no special mention having
been made of our section of the New
Italy, we feel constrained to arise and
say few words. We shall speak of
the country East of the Santa Ana
river, from Bulwell's Point on the
North to NewportS Bay on the South
in general, and Santa Anain particu-
lar. sssaRa s.H7sa -sa9ss ,ssiies
From Bulwell's Point tol,Newport
Bay, the distance is near fourteen
miles. The average width from the
river on the West to the hills on the
East, is near eight miles. This will
include Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin
City and Gospel Swamp. SAalittle ex-
planation regarding the latter name:
The "Gospep' portion was given by
some one, we don't know who, on ac-
count of the great number of ministers
it contained; the swamp" portion
was so named from the country being
low, moist lands, but not swamp, for
The finest corn land in the, country is
there. Six years since, this whole
country contained but three or four
American families, our energetic and
go-ahead townsman w. HI. Spurgeon
being one and Mr.. Tedford of the
Swamp being another, The remain
ing names we have forgotten. But
now how changed the scene! To-day
there are not less than 800 families
settled here, where then roamed at
will vast herds of cattle, sheep and
horses. Our people are all in easy
circumstances and many in affiu-
ence. None remain. poor in such a
productive land as this. ~ Of Santa
Ana proper, we now propose to speak.
We have three large stores, in which
can be found all the articles Kept in
places of greater Importance than we
have aspired to. w. HI. Spurgeon, M.
Frankie & Co. and J. Harlin are our
merchants. j. Harlin and w. IL.
Spurgeon have both built recently.
Mr.. H. has moved into his new store
and Mr.. S. expects to occupy his quite
soon. Mr.. Surgeons store is quite a
fine building two stories high, 60x26
feet, hard finished throughout. He
has also store room attached, 4Ox20
feet. Thelupper portion of the store is
a splendid hall, which will soon be oc-
cupied by the Masons and Odd Eel
lows. Our commodious school house
is used for church on Sundays, and
Methodists, .Presbyterians, Baptists
and Christians are represented here by
parties from their respective churches.
