LA VERNE ITEMS.
La Verne occupies commanding
view, and is surrounded by scenery ol
more than passing interest.
Almost part of San Dimas townsite,
q continuation of home places linking
it to Lordsburg, the City OF Dunkards,
can almost now be called a favored sec-
tion in more ways than one. The fault
to be found lies in the fact that 1t does
not possess the advantages of life found
in places the size of our city of Pomona.
La Verne has quite an acquisition in
the number of former Pomonaites living
there. The family of Dunderer's occu-
py the most pretentious house in the
neighborhood-the old Bixby piace-an
elegant two-story dwelling, beautiful
home.
Mr.. NJ. L. Sparks and family, we'll
known here, are erecting cottage upon
q choice piece OF land.
Rev. Knott, the former pastor OF the
M. r. church, south. this citp, is also q
dweller.
Passing through the ideal home place
of j. A, Packard, directly north OF the
Lordsburg college, the HERALD man
| first struck the home owned by Mr..
Guipeser, an indust rious rancher. Fol
| lowing the road west a half mile or 90
and turning north is the cluster ol
places referred to, Mr.. Dunderer, Sparks
| W. S. Youngs. Mr.. Ernest Mart, ant
still further west is another pretty
home, Mr.. Oakley Young's residence. In
a few moments' time one is opposite G
two or three room affair being. erected
by Mr.. Ernest Mart for occupancy upon
some land previous to his departure fol
sight of the worlds fair. Across the
street is the home of well-to-do farmer
from back east. He loves that country
yet.
Some two or three blocks futther We
met very pleasant lady, Mrs. Meri
deth, at her home. Mr.. Merideth was
found in the fields. Their house ia upor
a hill quite near the La Verne unoccu.
pied hotel building.
The last house visited was Mr.
Douglass, a pleasant, home-like place
situated upon commanding elevation
