fine edifces, and the cordiality, activity
and enterprise of the church people
here is matter of universal comment
by those who come from abroad
Pomona has indeed become known as a
church-going community and no one
can fail to note the general good order
and morality of the place.
The public schools are we'll graded
and presided over by an efficient corps
OF teachers. The thoroughness of the
work done has been specially noted by
visitors from abroad and received favor
able mention at educational institutes.
The erection OF new and improved
school buildings during the coming
summer is being considered at the
present time and will soon be acted
upon.
In addition to these superior educa-
tlonal advantages, Pomona college offers
inducements to be found in few other
places. With faculty of twelve teach
ers, specially prepared for their several
departments of work, and $50 students,
which number is constantly increasing,
the college is fast becoming one OF the
leading educational institutions on the
coast. The present need of increased
facilities is being met by the erection of
new buildings, which will be in readi-
ness by next fall.
In the matter of good hotels, also,
Pomona is favored, as the numerous
guests who have enjoyed the delights of
winter here can testify. The Palo-
mares, charming hotel, has 13O large,
sunny rooms, and the excellence of it's
present management is in everybody's
mouth. With pleasant rooms, superior
table and attentive service, it commends
itself to guests, and is growing in popu-
larity daily. There are also Browns
hotel, New Central hotel, the Keller
house, Weston hotel and several other
commercial hotels and private boarding
houses, as well as restaurants, all of
which are good.
The city has three good newspapers,
and all the leading benevolent and fra
ternal societies are represented by thriv-
ing organizations.
COMFORTS AND OPPORTUNITIES.
To any one seeking a beautiful and
picturesque place for home; seeking
the most uniform and genial climate in
the world; seeking an opportunity to
engage in pleasant and healthful en-
ployment, where moderate expendi-
ture of money and labor yields bounti-
full returns; in fact, seeking almost any
thing except blizzards, tornadoes and
thunder storms, all of which are un-
known here, Pomona valley offers the
strongest inducements. Being thirty
miles inland, the sea breezes, which
blow through the valley every day dur
ing the summer as regularly as the sun
rises and sets, though always cool and
refreshing, are never damp and chilly;
and spurs of mountains to the northeast
protect the valley from the desert hot
winds so unpleasant and Objectionable.
There is no place in the land where the
summers are more comfortable than
here; and to him who seeks recreation
and change, it is but little over an
! hours ride by rail to the ocean,
with its bath and sea breezes,
or with horse to the cafions,
with their picturesque scenery and cool
mountain streams filled with trout.
Here in few short months home can
be surrounded with lawns and flowers,
and made bower of beauty. Here in
few short years a fruit ranch can be
started that will be an unfailing source
OF income for generations and an ample
support for at least one family. Here,
in short, are offered opportunities that
are unsurpassed-if equaled-by any
other place.
