Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-01-24
Forty Miles East From Los
Angeles.

Among the coming towns of Southern
California, 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 grandby 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 grand height of
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 olive, and vineI ards laden
with semi i'tropical fruits, and fields clad
with verdure and laden with perfume.
About three miles to the west may be
seen the fiourishing town and colony OF On
tario: to the northwest, about the same
distance, the old, world-renowned Cuca-
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,
and Immediately to the southwest is the
rich and prolific 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-coast
assures freedom from fog-laden sea breezes,
while the atmosphere is so pure, dry and
exhilerating that those suffering from asth.
matte and pulmonary troubles find it 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
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 scale.
The company also offers land in 10, 20 and
40-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
Pacific forming the boundary line to the
South, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
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
h~NN lSnI.x L
been opened under the management OF
thoroughly competent hotel man. No ex-
pense has been spared in the appointments
and furnishing to make it frst-class in
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 10000
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
mountain, glen and valley, will be. found
vastly conducive to health and happiness.

lated district, but is right in the centre OF
