Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-02-07
Forty Miles East From Los
Angeles.

Among the coming towns of Southern
Californ a, no town has been laid out
on more substantial scale with view to
future growth and prosperity than
South Cucamonga, San Bernardino
| County, Cal.
Its location is one OF the most charming
in the
GREAT CUCAMONGA VALLEY,
Situated on the gently sloping plain, at an
altitude of 952 feet above sea level, and
within full view of the grandly towering
peaks of the magnificent Sierra Madre
range. Old Baldy, with his superb height
of 1000 feet and hoary. snow crowned tops,
and Cucamonga, with its height of grand
| 5000 feet, together look down in majesty on
the lovely valley at their feet, where, in
most charming contrast, may be seen, far as
the eye can roam, orchards OF oranges,
lemon, lime and o i've, and vine ards laden
with semi. tropical fruits, and fields clad
with verdure and laden with perfume.
About three miles to the west may be
seen the tiourishing town and colony of On
tario: to the northwest, about the same
distance, the old, world-renowned Cuaa-
monga vineyard; to the north, the fine new
town of North Cucamonga; to the northeast
| is the village OF Etiwanda, and to the south
east Riverside, Cotton and San Bernardino,
|
rich and trolific Chino ranch, South Cuca-
monga being the great central point.
| The climate in any section being depend
ent largely in distance from the sea-cOast
altitude of surface, relation to mountains
and general topography and contour these
conditions are perhaps as nearly perfect in
| CucamOnga as can be found anywhere in
the world. The distance from the sea-uoast
assures freedom from fog laden sea breezes,
while the atmosphere is SO pure, dry and
xhilerating that those suffering from asth
matte and pulmonary troubles find 1t most
invigorating and health restoring.
| The water supply is inexhaustible, and,
being from never-failing mountain springs,
is absolutely pure. 1t Is conducted in iron
pipes, which are already laid throughout
the streets OF the town.
The soil is superior and rich sedimentary
deposits, of extraordinary depth, is loose
and easily worked, and retains moisture for
a great length of time, requiring very little
irrigation. Those who are thoroughly COM
petent to judge have pronounced CucamOn-
ga. taking soil and climate together, to be
far superior to the famous Duarte and Riv-
erside orange belt for raising oranges, lem
ons, ETC., while it is entirely free from hcale
The company also offers land in 10, 20 and
4O-acre tracts, with water, adjoining the
town site of South Cucamonga.
No new town in Southern California has
brighter prospects for becoming railroad
center than South Cucamonga. Already it
has two great continental lines, the Southern
South, the AtChison, Topeka and Santa Fe a
short distance to the North, with two pro-
jected lines-one to Riverside and another
to Salt Lake City.
A fine new passenger and freight depot,
just completed by the Southern Pacific
Railway, adds greatly to the comfort of
travellers and general attractions Over
thirty trains pass through CuCamOnga daily.
| To secure the comfort of visitors, the fine
new hotel belonging to the company has
been opened under the management of a
thoroughly competent hotel man.. No ex-
pense has been spared in the appointments
every respect, while the rates will always
be reasonable.
The grounds surrounding the hotel and in
the park adjoining have been tastefully laid
out with all kinds of tropical shrub berry,
ever-playing fountains, etc., by an expert
enced landscape gardener, and over 20, 600
trees have been planted in the streets of the
| town
A sojourn at this pleasant hotel, where
within easy reach are the picturesque
mountain trails, the ,grandly beautiful
canon and irresistibly charming scenery OF
mountain, glen and valley, will be found
vastly conducive to health and happiness.
SOUTH CUCAMONGA
Is no new town in the midst Of an unpopu.
lated district, but is right in the centre OF
the finest improved portion of the Great
Cucamonga Valley, and is bound to become
