LOCATION.
The town OF Pomona is one mile square,
and is most beautifully laid Off on either side
OF the railroad, thirty-two miles East of Los
Angeles. 1t Is situated la the San Jose valley,
several hundred feet above the sea level, and
back some thirty-fve miles from the coast in
direct line.
COMMERCIAL CENTER.
twill be the commercial center Of the East
traIy located than any other station on the
railroad-present or prospective.
MOUNTAIN SCENERY.
1t Is surrounded by most beautiful mouu-
tain scenery-Mount Cucamongo rearing its
head lsnow.capped during great portion of
only u few miles to the Northeast
CLIMATE.
A range of hills cuts off the rawness OF the
sea-breeze, making the climate more .eqpaIte
and bet1eeY sHIesa5 esa5a IS s and there Is sum
Client breeze to keep down the high tempera-
ture of the summer SO prevalent back fur
ther in the interior.
HEALTH.
As a healthful climate this is superior-the
valley being along the foot of the mountains
which, from san Gabriel to Cucamongo. is
admitted TO furnish the best climate on the
Pacific slope.
As fruit country Pomona cannot be ex-
celled in Southern California. 1t needs no
argument to demonstrate this propositions; no
one denies 1t, and the trees growing In the
immediate vicinity prove the fact beyond u
p RAILROADS.
The railroad facilities are good Pomona be-
ing within one hours ride OF Los Angeles-
the Commercial and railroad center OF South
ern California-and on the main line of the
southern Pacific railroad, which Ii being rap
idly pushed through to Texas.
MORE RAILROADS.
The prospects are also good that the Los
Angeles and Independence railroad will cross
the Southern Pacific at Pomona, giving the
town the benefit of two railroads to Los An
geles and tide water, and eventually an out

ing ditch has been constructed from the cien-
egas to the reservoir, which holds two and
half million gallons, and bitches have been
constructed from thence to the different parts
of the tract. Stock in the Pomona Water
