POMONA.

j. E. Packard is preparing to plant
City acres to orange trees on his Orange
Grove tract. This will about complete
the planting OF this tract, which en-
braces 800 acres just west of the main
business portion of the city.
The funeral OF George Dunn on Sun
day afternoon was held at the M. E.
church. and was the largest ever seen in
this city.
A light rain set in yesterday morning
and continued at intervals until about
10 O'Clock when the sun came out clear
and bright disappointment was depicted
on the countenances of almost every
one. The indications, however, are
that we will get enough for present
purposes.
The first case under ordinance SO
comes up at 10 O'Clock today before City
Recorder Morton. The city attorney
who i,4s charge of the prosecution, says:
1t is The intention to carry the war into
Africa, and keep it up until no liquor
can be had in Pomona except for medi-
cal purposes. He says he has no fear
as to the result of a test on consti-
tutional grounds; should conviction be
had, the intention is to take the case to
the court of higher resort. The case OF
N. Green, clerk at Browns hotel,
charged with violating the same ordi-
nance, will be called at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. G. Tinsly, OF the Pro-
gress, are home from their visit to
Fresno.
w. L. Johnson, inventor OF the ma
tional hose coupling, is home from an
extended business visit to the east. He
succeeded in placing the couplings on
the market in the most important cities
east, as we'll as on some of the govern
ment vessels, and everywhere they re-
| ceived the highest commendation. The
outcome of all this will be large in
crease OF the factory here, and the en-
| ployment of many more men.
| Everybody says that Pomona needs,
and must have. a sewer system. But
| the how and when is the question. Lit
| tie or nothing is being doue by our city
authorities in that direction. This is
| the most vital and important question
| to the city that awaits solution. The
matter has been procrastinated too long
already.
Hon. J. E. McComas is yet confined
to his home with la grippe, the serious
effects of which are largely augmented
by painful carbunce on the neck.
The Sycamore Water Development
company remove today into the new
quarters in Union block.
The orange shippers of this valley
feel kindly towards the Santa Fe COM
pany for leading the van in reducing
freights on orange shipments. 1t is
confidently expected, however, that the
Southern Pacific will see the Santa Fe
and 60 one or two better.
T. L. Thrall of this city is just in from
the Cucamonga country, where he has
been for some weeks leveling 100 acres
of land for Rev. A. W. Nesbit of this
city. Mr.. Nesbit planted 100 acres
to muscat grapes last year and
will plant the remaining 160 this
spring. This will make the largest
muscat vineyard in Southern Califor-
| MIA.
By the way, this same Mr.. Thrall is
an old-timer, although apparently
young man. He was among the first
adventurers to Pixies Peak in 1858 or
1859. and saw the first mail sack opened
in the city of Denver. The mail was
open ed in a saloon, the carrier of the
mail standing on the counter and call
ing out the names, and received 80 cents
for each letter.
