SOUTH CUCAMONGA.
The Coming Town Z
Southern California.
THE PEER OF TowN-sITEs.
Situated on the Great Sunset
Route of the Southern
Pacific Railway.

Among the coming towns OF South
ern California no town has been laid
out ON a more substantial scale with a
view to future growth and prosperity
than South Cucamonga, San Bernar-
dino county, California. Its location
is one of the most charming in the
gBeat Cucamonga Valley, situated on
the gently sloping plain, at an alti-
tude Of 952 feet above sea level, and
within full view of the grandly tower
ing peaks of the magnificent Sierra
Madre range. Old Badly, with his
superb height of 5000 feet, and hoary
snow-crowned tops and Cucamonga
with its grand height Of 5000 feet, to-
gether look down in majesty on the
lovely valley at their feet, where, in
most charming contrast, may be seen
as far as the eye can roam, orchards
of orange, lemon, lime and olive, and
vineyards laden with semi-tropical
fruits and fields clad with verdure and
laden with perfume.
About three miles to the west may
be seen the fourishing town and
colony Of Ontario, to the northwest,
about the same distance the world
renowned Cucamonga 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, Colton, and San Ber-
nardine, ard Immediately to the
southwest is the rich and prolific
Chino Ranch. South Cucamonga be-
ing the great central point.
The climate in any section being
dependent largely in distance from
the sea coast, altitude Of surface, re-
Iation to mountains and general to-
Biography and contour. These condi-
tions are perhaps as nearly perfect in
Cucamonga as can be found any
where in the world. The distance
from the sea coast assures freedom
from fog-laden sea breezes, while the
atmosphere is go pure, dry and exhil-
arating, that those suffering from
Asthmatic and Pulmonary troubles
find it most invigorating and health
restoring.
The water supply is inexhaustible
and being from never failing noun
tain springs, is abundantly pure. 1t
is conducted in iron pipes. which are
already laid throughout the streets OF
of the town.
The soil is superior and rich sedi-
mentary deposit, 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 competent
to Judge have pronounced Cucamonga,
taking soil and climate together, to be
far superior to the famous Duarte and
Riverside orange belt, for raising
oranges, lemons, ETC., while it is en-
tirely free from scale. The Company
also offer lands in 10, 20 and 40 acre
tracts with water, adjoining the town
site of Cucamonga.
No new town in Southern California
has brighter prospects for becoming a
railroad center than South Cuca-
monga. Already it has two great
continental lines, the Southern Pacific
forming the boundary line to the
south, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe q short distance to the north, with
two projected 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 at
fractions. 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 thoroughly compe-
tent hotel man. No expense has
been spared in the appointments and
furnishings to make it tirst-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 shrubbery, ever playing
fountains,;etc by an experienced land
scape gardener, and over 20, 1000 trees
have been planted in the streets OF
the town.
A sojourn at this pleasant hotel,
where within easy reach are the pic
turesque mountain trails, the grandly
beautiful canyon and irrisistably
charming scenery of mountain glens
and valleys, will be found vastly con-
ductive to health and happiness.
South Cucamonga, is no new town
in the midst Of an unpopulated dis.
trict, but is right in the center of the
finest improved portion of the great
Cucamonga valley-and is bound tc
become q business center.
Owing to its great richness the sol
produces the finest oranges and
lemons grown in the State, peaches
apples, pears, figs, almonds and wal.
nuts, and the finest Of wine and raisir
grapes. As rroof Of the great fertility
Of this section, the old Cucamongs
