POMONA.

committed in the canon Sunday. The
young lady is stranger in this part of
the county, but during her stay has
borne herself above reproach. The tiend
has not been arrested.
1t is expected that the tunnel of the
San Antonio Electric Light and Power
company in San Antonio cafion will be
completed by the middle of April or the
1st of May. The work is being pushed
night and day.
The threatening weather Of Sunday
afternoon has passed away and the sky
is now clear and cloudless and the air as /
balmy as spring.
VIM. E. Ward of Los Angeles, formerly
OF the Pomona Daily Times, paid flying
visit here day or two ago. His genial
countenance is familiar to all our citi-
zens, and he always receives warm and
hearty greeting from everybody.
The M. K. church was crowded Sun
day evening on the occasion of the OPEN
ing Of the Prohibition campaign of 1892
The speaker was an eloquent one and
the music and singing were excellent.
We understand that proceedings were
to have been instituted in the superior
court against W. M. Woody, city trustee,
to oust him from his position as trustee
for indirectly contracting with the city.
We know nothing about the merits of
the case. We do know, however, that
Pomona is now full of contentious, and
there does not seem to be much harmony
prevailing.
J. H. Todd, of the Pomona pipe works,
has just completed and tested seven
miles of pipe line at North San Ber-
nardino. Three miles of this was "a
inch pipe and four miles was 6-inch
pipe. He has five miles more to put in
in the same vicinity and two miles for
the Alessandro company, and twelve
miles for Redlands.
Our item in yesterdays HERALD con-
corning the sale of our school bonds,
was little inaccurate in one or two
particulars. The highest bid was per
cent premium and accrued interest, and
the bidders reserved ten days in which
to inquire into the legality of the bonds.
The Pomona winery is an extensive
establishment and sells wine to all who
want to buy, in quantities of from one
gallon to carload. A shipment of a
carload was made day or two ago to
the east, for the benighted easterners to
drink. So, you see, Pomona is doing
some missionary work.
Some carloads OF lumber are daily re-
ceived at our lumber yards.
Plows are going in every direction
these fine days since the rain. The
click of the pruning shears is also heard
on every hand, budding leaf and flower
are beginning to peep forth, and nature,
and man too, seem to be active, push
ing and vigorous.
The grip seems now to have passed as
silently away as it came, and it will
linger as an unpleasant memory. 1t
saddened many hearts and several
homes in this city, and it is to be hoped
that it has taken its fight into the dark,
mysterious realms of eternal forgetful-
ness, never to return.
The "high license" people of this city
claim, Notwithstanding all resolutions
to the contrary, that this city went in
favor of high license at the last city
election. 1t is fact that four out OF
the five officers voted for by the en-
tire city, were elected upon the high
license ticket. Two of the three trustees
voted for by wards were elected upon
the high license ticket. There were
two hold-over trustees, and in the first
ward a majority of one of votes cast
was for the high license candidate. After
the ballots had been counted and
PLACED in the box it was claimed
by some one that one of
the ballots was irregular, and
should not be counted for Burdick. the
high-license candidate. The question,
whether this vote should be taken out
after having been counted. the ballots
strung upon string and placed in the
box as the law required, was left to one
member OF the election board, who was
high-license man; and for fear of be-
ing charged with unfairness he decided
to take off that vote. This made tie
vote between Woody and Burdick. Thess
facts were given me by the officer of the
election referred to, and on all these
facts the highlicense people say that it
surely requires an elastic imagination
for man to say that this city pro-
nounced in favor of no license at the last
election.
Whatever question, however, may di-
vide our people for the time being, the
fact remains, that Pomona stands pre-
eminent as one OF the most desirable
locations in all semi-tropic California.
She contains all the elements of pros
perity and progressiveness with which
generous and kind nature could endow
her, and her future opens out like
beautiful and charming revelation, full
of unlimited possibilities.
