Coming Colony of southern
Caiifornia-somet About
the Colony.
The town of Iryington lies about
eight miles north Of San Bernardino, on
the line OF the California Southern, and
a little east OF the Pass. A l20O.foot
side-traek is now being pat in and sta.
ton will ,oon be built. A town has
been laid out half mile above the rail
road and in the center OF this magnit.
cent tract. Among the principal fea
tures Of the grand panorama which
greets the eye OF the visitor TO this tract
are the snow.clad peaks Of Mts. San
| Bernardino, Grayback and San Jacinto,
and the hourishing settlements OF Graf
ton, Lugonia and Redlands, while 10 the
south may be seen the growing cities of
San Bsrnardino and Cotton, and the ele-
giant groves Of Riverside. The tract is
most admirably laid out, a plat one-half
mile square having been set aside for
town cite, with subdivisions for business
purposes, outside of which and SUR
rounding the same are twenty four five.
acre tracts, while the rest ia divided into
20 and 40 acre pieces Here may be
found as fine soil as exists, being Of
loamy nature with an unknown depth.
The elevation Of 1000 feet insures free
dom from fog and dryness Of air that at
once recommends 1t to the invalid suffer
ing either from rheumatic or pulmonary
troubles.
The water supply is an ample one and
$40, 900 has already been expended in
conveying this water from its source to
the lands. A foe distributing reservoir
of 240,0 900 gallons capacity has been con.
structed. Lots have been donated for
churches Of the various denominations;
also for school purposes. Broad streets
and avenues have been graded aud viii
soon be set to shade and ornamental
trees. A large part OF the tract has been
cleared and is ready for the pillow. A
oommodious hotel has been erected at a
cost OF 81, 900 and is in charge of an ex-
perieneed and courteous landlord.
This land affords the finest OF oppor-
tunities for fruit culture. tits the home
Of the orange and grape, and TO the So
journer who is in search Of cheap lands
wherein he Gao make fine living
for himself and family we say don't fail
to see this land. The location, soil,
water right and nearness to market re-
move all doubt as to the possibility of
success. Don't forget that ten years
ago the beautiful Pasadena was sheep
range and that years ago Riverside was
an arid plain. Remember these facts |
and with the present advantages over
the above named places see what can
and will be made of Irvington.
There is really no reason why this
charming spot can't be made to blossom
as do Pasadena, Riverside and various
other localities, in much less time. Look |
into this, investigate it well, it is worth |
your time. On Saturday next a grand |
excursion will leave the new depot at 7 |
o'clock in the morning, and upon the ar.
rival OF the train Ben. Z. Ward, the |
auctioneer, will offer you about 1000 |
acres of this fine tract, in tracts Of 5. 10, |
20 and 40 acres, as well as 200 fine bust
ness lots. Remember next Saturday. |
