ant Crops OF All Kinds-Cuca-
monga and Ontario Marching On.
A recent trip to Ontario and Cuca.
monga reveals vast improvements 60.
ing on in that vicinity on every hand.
The former place has already assumed
the proportions of respectable village,
having two hotels, one being opened
only last Wednesday by Mr.. Robertson,
late of Cucamonga; two livery stables, q
blacksmith shop, hardware store AMI a
washhouse. The town is building up
rapidly, and bids fair to rival Pomona in
the near future.
Work on the tunnel, which is being
made iu the San Antonio Canon by j.
H. Mutually, for the Chaffey Brothers,
is already in some 1900 feet, and is pro.
crossing a, rapidly as the water will al.
low the work to be done. A large cur.
rent Of water wa, struck last Thursday
1t is expected that by next month a
supply Of at least 1000 inches will have
been reached, and as we were informed
by Mr.. Mutually, will stop further prog
ress, as the flow Of water will be too
great to work in.
Among the sales recently made at
Ontario IL one to Mrs. Woodbury., who
intends to put upa fine residence.
The building erected for the Office Of
L. M. Holt, OF Riverside, is finished, and
at present occupied by planning ma.
chine, but in the near future, it is re.
ported, will be printing office, and
that the Press and Horticultural will
occupy it.
Chaffey Brothers have sold the old
San Antonio rancho to Los Angeles
man, who, it is understood. will open
Summer and Winter resort. This ran.
cho Is located in the canon, whence it
gets its name, and will no doubt be
very popular resort, az among other at.
fractions hunting and fishing are good.
The scenery is unequaled, and the eli
mate, being Of the best on the coast,
will, with the attractions already spoken
OF, commend itself to those seeking
place to spend the Summer months.
Mr.. Geo. Chaffey has sold his fine
place at Etiwanda, and will hereafter
reside in Los Angeles. A gentleman
from San Francisco is the pnrchas
The crops are good. In fact, they are
a surprise 10 party who has not been
in the neighborbood tor time. Where
this time year ago was nothing but
desert, or what was called desert, to-day
are fair crops. In fact, from Pomona to
beyond Etiwanda, is one vast grain field,
with the exception of few washes.
Barley and hay with some wheat, are
the standard crops, and the only thing
lacking is machinery to do the harvest
work, Of which there seems to be q want,
0f hay there will be big crop, which
is of good quality. Barley will yield
about half crop, and good deal Of
this will be lost by the want referred to
above, as 1t is SO ripe that it is lodging.
and will not be reached by the header.
The reporter was shown corn. which
was over six feet high, and looked unus-
ually thrifty. and this on land which
was cultivated for the first time this
year. Taking things all in all, this To-
cality seems as If IL intended to go
ahead. and that next year there would
be very little of this land that would
not be under cultivation. The chief
draw back to this section heretofore has
been lack Of water, but with the
abundant supply from the San Antonio
Canon it ought to be one of the finest
farming sections in Southern California.
