and further up the slope golden fruit
orchards adorn the beautiful landscape.
The soil OF the mesa lands of the tract
is particularly adapted to orange culture,
possessing every advantage. 1t is a red
dish alluvials suDtance, composed of
disintegrated granite, and to discuss
the qualities of such land, after
it has been so thoroughly
experimental upon, and its advant-
ages proven all over California, would
be work of superogation. The South
Riverside company in selling the land
to the new corporation, of course, sold
the water in connection (they have
plenty to spare) and agreed to bring it
in pipes, under pressure, to the highest
point on the tract in the same quantity,
one inch to every ten acres, as is allowed
the land in the original tract.
TOWNSHIP AND BOULEVARD.
The townsite is in the form of per-
feet circle, drawn with compass, fgur-
atively speaking, at half-mile span.
The diameter of the circle, or in other
words, the length OF the two principal
streets which cross each other directly
in the center of the town, and on one
of whose corners Hotel Temescal and
the elegant bank building are situated,
are exactly one mile in length. A cir
cular boulevard is thus built arc md the
outskirts of the town. The time will
come within very few years when this
whole country will constitute one mag
nifcent park and the endless driveway
will be renowned throughout the world.
The extension of Magnolia avenue is
a project already set on foot, conse-
uuently it is no mere chimera. The
avenue proper now extends to within
five miles of South Riverside. A sur
vey has been made and smooth road
mapped to extend the avenue through
South Riverside to the foothills, where,
at it's terminus, reservation of 800
acres has been set aside for a park.
This will make the avenue twenty
miles long and 1872 feet wide the whole
distance. Thus it's already worldwide
fame will resolve itself into reputation
OF the finest and most noted driveway in
the world. In addition to this there is
an intention, so l am informed by a
thoroughly reliable authority, to extend
the famous Euclid avenue of Ontario
GOO feet wide) to junction with Mag
nolia avenue. The connecting OF those
two magnificent drives would indeed be
crowning feature.
are go, 80 and 100 feet in width; on
each side of which trees are planted in
many places. The blocks are all 316
feet square except some which border
on the boulevard where, at regular in
tervals, the circular form of the outer
road and the converging of two square
blocks form triangular shaped piece of
ground, it has been reserved and they
will be appropriated for parks and marks
of landscape ornamentation when a
more complete stage of development has
been reached.
The town and colony of South River
side are unlike any other in the state for
novel design and beauty of location.
The town-site is in the form of circle
and all leading streets of the whole tract
center there; blocks have twelve lots
each 5Ox15O feet; the streets are broad
and we'll graded, and are lined with a
variety of evergreen trees; four beauti-
full parks are designed within the city
limits; the grand boulevard is 100 feet
wide and three miles long, thus making
q beautiful drive around the circle city
of the citrus belt. The ready access
