Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-10

At the eastern terminus of the up
per Santa Ana valley, about sixty
miles due east of the city of Los
Angeles, lies the magic little city OF
Redlands. 1t reaches from the banks
of the Santa Ana river-the largest
stream in Southern California-on
the north to the low foothills of the
San Gorgonio range of mountains, on
the south.
"REDLANDs IN A NUTSHELL"
The boundaries of the city incorpora-
tion include seventeen square miles
of the richest and best soil in the
state for orange growing. Perfect
drainage is secured by the natural
slope of the land and the character of
the soil. 1t is nine miles directly
east of San Bernardino, the
county seat; thirteen miles north
east from Riverside, sixty miles
directly east of Los Angeles, and one
hundred miles north of San Diego.
These are air line distances. The
distance by rail is given by table in
another place. Redlands has at the
present time population of about
5000, and is the third city in size
within the county OF San Bernardino.
On the area occupied by the BUSH
ness portion of Redlands four years
ago there was not single building.
Today there are forty substantial
brick business buildings, two sto-
ries high, all occupied by the various
branches of trade. Among the busi
ness establishments are four large
general and grocery houses, two dry
goods stores, a national bank, state
bank, four agricultural implement
and hardware stores, three drug
stores, two furniture stores, four
meat markets, three bakeries, three
large commercial hotels, four restau-
rants, two tin and plumbing estab-
lishments, three lumber yards, four
blacksmith and repairing shops,
three vegetable and fruit stores,
three harness shops, two livery sta
bles, four carriage repositories, two
clothing and three jewelry stores,
sash and door factory, planning mill,
two boot and shoe stores, photograph
gallery, four paint shops, two barber
shops, two book stores, two coal and
wood yards, two art stores, a ladies'
bazaar, three boarding houses, two
manufactures of cement pipe, a
roller feed mill, three fruit packing
houses, numerous real estate and in
surance offices, lawyers, doctors, and
two job printing and newspaper
offices, VIZ, the Citrograph and
Facts.
The East San Bernardino valley,
which this section is frequently
called, lies at right angles with the
coast, just enough exposed to and
protected from the soft balmy sea
breezes to give it a dry, equable, sal
ubrious and most delightful climate.
In winter the breezes from the trop-
ical ocean and the cool mountain air
commingle, and the result is eastern
May and June weather with its raw
edges toned down. In summer these
breezes amicably divide the day and
night about equally between them
the sea breezes putting in the day
and the mountain breezes the night
as regularly as the day and night
succeed each other. With these facts
recognized, an intelligent person
need not be told that the climate of
the east San Bernardino valley is as
near perfection as nature ever made
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-10

1000 additional acres of fertile soil,
q large portion of which is excellent
for deciduous fruits, but too elevated
for orange culture on account OF
temperature. In these high noun
tain valleys the finest small fruits,
potatoes and apples are raised, yield
ing profits to the acre equal in many
instances to the profits of orange cul-
ture.
WATER SUPPLY AND IRRIGATION.
To make fruit culture in all the sec
ton under discussion successful, or
even possible, irrigation is neces-
sity. The supply Of water for full
irrigation of $4,000 acres in the val
lev is abundant. The sources of sup
ply are in high ranges of mountains
walling in the valley ON the north
and east. These ranges obtain at
points an elevation of nearly $4,000
feet above sea level, and their
SUBMITS are in the regions of
perpetual ice and snow. The
Santa Ana river, Mill creek, and
other smaller streams conduct the
water from natures deposits to the
valley. Formerly, as in other por-
tions Of the state, the great supply of
the winter rains ran through those
channels to the sea and was lost for
ever. A great natural lake formerly
existed high up on the San Bernar-
dino range. Probably an earthquake
or some other conyulsion broke the
rim of the lake, and the accumulated
waters made their escape through
the Santa Ana river. This broken
rim has been repaired by ingenuity,
energy and capital, and the greatest
stored supply of water for irrigation
in the world-Bear Valley reservoir
lis the result. y.
The people of the valley can now
look up on these mountain ranges,
covered with snow and ice, and con-
gratulate themselves that all that
water is theirs, to be brought down
and spread over their orchards as
they need it, They have laid up a
store, not against rainy day, but
a dry day; they have made hay, not
while the sun shone, but while the
storms ragged and the snow flew on
the mountains.
Not only is the supply sufficient to
furnish water in the ordinary
seasons to all the lands. but
the reserve is ample to carry
all the present and future orchards
through two or three dry seasons and
keep them up to their productive
capacity.
The same ingenuity, energy and
capital that restored this great lake
has built canals and laid stone water
pipes, till now water is conducted
from this great reservoir to every
part of the valley, and every owner
of five, ten or twenty acres OF orchard
has but to open the gate on the high
est point on his land in order to irri-
gate the same.
Not alone for irrigation has pro-
vision been made, but there is
separate system for supplying do
mestic water, pure, from the deep
tunnels under the mountains to every
house in the city and valley, under
sufficient pressure to make it pretty
safe guarantee against fire. 1t is a
conservative statement that the
water and systems of distributing for
this valley have cost million and
a half of dollars--they are worth far
more than this.
The following table shows the acre
age planted to orchards in Redlands
at the present time:

REDIANDS.

miles of street railroads, connecting
the stations of both wide and narrow
gauge railroads with different resi-
dence portions of the city.
PROJECTED RAILROADS..
The Southern Pacific company has
surveyed line for a. road between
Los Angeles and Redlands. Local
capital, interested in the great cedar
and pine forests on the mountain
ranges east and north of the city, is
also surveying routes for railroads to
these vast lumber districts. The vast
Importance of the lumber area of
Bear valley and the adjacent terri
tory, as we'll as the growing import
ance of that most beautiful mountain
summer resort, will compel the
building of narrow-gauge railroad
at no very far distant day. The route
is practicable and the grade not at all
diff cult, while the pass enger travel
in summer will be very heavy.
SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES.
Within the city limits are there
fine schools, in the Redlands, Lugo-
MIA and Grafton districts, with an
average attendance OF upwards of
four hundred and fifty. The three
school houses cost over $4,000. In
addition the Bellevue academy, un-
der the management of Prof. III. A.
Blown, teaches the higher branches
lofplearning, preparatory to college.
The Congregationalists, Episcopali-
ans, Methodists, Baptists and Pres
byterians have commodious church
buildings, and all five hold regular
services every Sunday.
A strong Y. M. G. A. occupies its
own hall, with public lectures and a
free reading room.
The Masons, Odd Fellows, Good
Templars, Native Sons of the Golden
West, Royal Arcanum and Foresters
all have organizations and hold regu-
lar meetings.
FRUIT CULTURE.
Fruit culture is the leading indus
try. The fruits produced are chiefly
oranges and the raisin grape; also
berries of various kinds, peaches,
apricots, nectarines, olives, lines and
lemons.
The deciduous fruit orchards were
mostly planted before it was known
that the soil and climate were so per-
fectly ADAPTED to the citrus fruits,
and nearly all the late paintings are
of the latter class. The orchards of
all kinds are quite young, and but
small per cent. of the citrus orchards
are in bearing.
The orange crop of 1890 is about 120
car loads. Never in the history of
Redlands has there been such activi
ty in fruit tree planting as during the
past three years, aggregating as it
does some 1000 acres.
Millions of trees are being grown in
the nurseries this season where thou
sands have been grown heretofore.
MANY ranch owners in the valley
started seed beds last year and are
about to put in more, so that young
trees will soon be comparatively
cheap.
AREA OF FRUIT LANDS.
Within the district surrounding
the city of Redlands and naturally
tributary to it as a business center,
there is over 25, 900 acres of good fruit
land. Over $4,000 acres of this is
good orange land. Reckoning in the
Yucaipe, Potato, Bear and numerous
other small valleys opening
out into these and the
East San Bernardino there are
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-10

a climate; nor, further, that it is
impossible to estimate the great
value of such climate in dollars and
cents, whether reference is had to its
health-giving properties or to the
greater capacity of the soil
under it for productive pur-
poses. Many persons have been
cured of pulmonary and throat
complaints, asthma and rheumatism,
by the pure, invigorating atmosphere;
others, too far gone, have had their
lives prolonged; and there is no place
where the weak and delicate can
spend more of their time'out of doors.
The same dryness of air which is
found so salubrieus for invalids, se-
cures complete exemption from the
smut, and the red, white and black
scale, which in moister countries
have made orange growing unprofta-
BILE, and from the mysterious vine
diseases which have ruined the vine
yards in less favored sections. There
are absolutely no insect enemies or
diseases to contend with in the cul-
tivation of the orange and the grape
in the East San Bernardino valley.
ASSESSED VALUATION
The assessed valuation of the three
school districts included in the city
limits, for the years 1887 and 1890, is
appended:
19S7.-Redlands district. ......$ 329,055
Lugonia district, t,.,.,,,-. 1852
Grafton district. ...........' 139, $40
Total. ...s s27, 1895
189O.-Redlands district .....$ 90S, 90
Lugonia district. .....i 490,705
Grafton district. ........... 271,l36
Total. .........s16 669 941
Comparing the totals for the two
years, an increase of 102 per cent. is
given; or, in other words, property
in Redlands has more than doubled
in value in the past three years.
PosToFFICE BUSINESS.
AS an evidence of the business
growth of the city of Redlands, we
give below statement of the bust
ness done at the postoffice since it's
establishment:
Amount of business transacted in
%
Amount of business transacted in
Amount of business transacted in
1890. .,....................... .4,52S42
This shows an increase OF nearly
$50 per cent. in two years, which is
good enough showing to make any
one feel proud. A steady increase of
postoffice receipts is reliable index
to the growth of city, and the fig
ures plainly show that Redlands is
steadily gaining.
RAILROADS.
The Southern California, a branch
of the Santa Fe, enters the valley
from the north through the Cajon
pass. The Southern Pacific overland
railroad enters the valley on the south
through the San Gorgonio pass.
Brookside station on this road is two
miles southwest of the business CEN
ter of Redlands. Redlands has direct
railroad communication with Los An
geles over the San Bernardino Valley
railroad (the Santa Fe system) three
times day with Riverside the same.
With San Bernardino and Cotton six
times a day. The mail is received
and sent from the Redlands post
Office four times day.
In addition, the San Bernardino
and Redlands narrow gauge Called
the Motor road) makes ten trips be-
tween Redlands and San Bernardino
each day. connecting with the Rapid
Transit road, which runs to Cotton
and Riverside. Redlands has al
