Pomona School Bonds Rated Very
High.
Special Correspondence to the HERALD
POMONA, March 21.
The Pomona school bonds have been
accepted by the parties who made the
highest bid for them, after their legality
had been investigated and passed upon.
This is gratifying to the friends of our
schools, who have long realized the alb
solute want of better school buildings
to accommodate our growing school
population. 1t is expected that the two
large eight-room buildings will! be COM
pleted for the opening of the next
spring term.
NOTES.
81 have never seen as good a prospect
for crops" was remarked to us the
other day by an old-timer, and the
late arrivals among us are astonished
and delighted to see at this time of year
the thrifty barley fields and the cattle
upon hill and plain luxuriating in
clover, alfilleria and succulent grasses.
Plans are being formulated for our
next flower fair, and the prospects are
that it will be more elaborate and at
tractive than any that have been yet
held.
The announcement that Hotel
Palomares was to be closed on May 1st
caused regret among our people, who
would like to see that complete and
well-equipped establishment open the
year through. Mr.. Farmer, the man
ager, is popular with all with whom he
comes in contact, and is without doubt
just the man for the place, and we
should like to see him remain.
The contract for putting in the piping
for the San Antonio Electric Light and
Power company has been let to J. H.
Todd of the Pomona pipe works. Todd
is pushing business, and is meeting
with merited success.
The COPELAND liquor trial was brought
to sudden halt on Saturday morning.
When court opened Westerman &
Broughton and Judge Robinson, attoI-
ney for defendant, served upon the
court writ of prohibition from the
superior court, commanding him to take
no further proceedings in the matter
until his right to try the case should be
determined by the superior court, and
cited him to appear today at 10 O'Clock
a. IN. and show cause why he should
not be perpetually prohibited from pro-
ceeding with the trial. The probabili-
ties are that the matter will 60 to the
supreme court before the trial is again
proceeded with. Whether the same
steps will be taken in the other cases on
the docket or not we are unable to say.
A venire for 100 jurors for the Null
lally trial is to be issued today or to-
morrow.
Mrs. Stair and daughter, who are here
now with their old friends, G. @. Morse
and family, have concluded to sojourn
in Pomona instead of in Los Angeles
during the remaining several weeks and
possibly months in California. They
have taken rooms at Mrs. Ella Phillips g
elegant place, on the corner of Third
and Thomas streets. They are highly
delighted with Pomona.
DR.. d. A. Hurst of Oskaloosa, Iowa, is
expected in Pomona this week, accom-
panied by his wife. They will sojourn
at the Keller house. The doctor has
spent three winters in Los Angeles, but
on his last visit to California he became
enamored of Pomona's genial air and
splendid and charming surroundings,
and therefore will make his headquarters
here.
