FRUIT-GROUING ~ CALIFORNIA.
SAN BERYARpINo COUNTY FINE OLIVE CorN.

Frank F. Brown, The owner OF several large fruit
ranches In Southern california says that the develop
ment OF the fruit industry there during the lat few
years has been remarkable. The most fatterlnG re-
suits however he says have been In the Bear Vail v.
In san Eernardino County and the people who visited
that part OF the country several years would
scarcely recognize It. The rapid improvement, Mr..
Brown SAYS Is due TO the system Of reservoirs With
which the Bear Valley has been provided and It IS
now an easy matter to furnish the fruit orchards
with water at any time Of the year.
Ten years ago the Bear Valley unknown. II
was discovered By Mr. Brown who is n civil engineer.
and he devised scheme to store the rains IN rcser
voirs In the mountains during the rainy season.
In that way the soil there, which Is especially adapted
to orange grape olive. apricot and other fruit grow
Ing watercd during the dry season. and acres
Of land that almost worthless n few years ago
are the most fertile IN California.
THE Bcar Valley Is In san BenardIno County
and towns are sprinHng up all around IT," said Mr..
Brown when At the Murray I'LL Hotel Yesterday.
Five years ago the town OF Rcflands was started.
and there are now 5000 people there. Alesandcro
Is another town ten miles from Redlanis which has
Just been started. The climate there IS delightful
the year round. and to-day the people there
picking roses and other flowers. The growth
Of the fruit trees In the valley l.
o. the most solid kind. have visited Japan, China,
Italy spain and other countries where much attention
has been paid TO irrigation, and can truthiuy say
that the irrlgatlng system In san BernardinO County
leads them all
Of the great Industries there, ana the fruit Is
excellent this year that there has been greater de
mand than could be supplied.
The shipping facilities between here and the Pacific
Coast have been increased to such an extent that all
kinds Of California fruit an be Put in the me- ,
ties will be better than they were this year.
