lecturer showed series of views in the
last named state. The first of these was
Weber's canyon and the Devils Slide, a
steep groove many feet in depth ex-
tending from the top Of the bank to the
river below.
In Salt Lake City the first picture was
of the Brigham Young residence, a
large white, many-gabled house, and
then came panoramic view OF the
city. "Salt Lake City," said the lecturer,
''was founded by the Mormons in 1S47,
after their expulsion from Nauvoo, ILL.,,
and the date of their arrivel in this
southern land is still celebrated as a
general holiday"
The Mormon tabernacle, where are
situated the offices of the sect, and the
Mormon temple, the meeting place,
were then shown. 1.-THE temple" said
Prof. Bickmore, "is in the form of an
ellipse, 250 feet long and $50 feet wide.
Its acoustic properties are the most per-

The question of the improvement OF
these almost desert lands was then
taken up. The value of irrigation was
well illustrated by a series of views
which were taken at the time Of the

territorial government of Utah. The
negatives have since come into the pos
session Of the museum, and were shown

JULIUS HAUSER
Wholesale and Retail Butcher Office In Mot,
MorErt

The growth and development of the in
dustrial interests of this city cannot be
more accurately reflected than by taking
for example individual instances. Among
many prosperous merchants of this city,
who have accumulated wealth and built
up great establishments, the name of
Mr.. julius Hauser' of Mott Market, is
conspicuous. The establishment OF
which he is now the head is one of the
best known in it's line IN Southern Cali
fornia. His trade covers Arizona, New
Mexico and the territory immediat tely
adjacent to this city.
The retail establishment is conspic-
uous among it's competitors of this city
as being the most elegantly appointed
and most conveniently located Of any of
them. No expense has been spared to
provide the most elegant fixtures and
best possible clerical service. The pat
rons of the house are to be found among
the leading families of the city, the lead
ing hotels and restaurants.
The magnitude Of the business has
now reached that measure to. which the
slaughter department has become a
great establishment of itself. Hun
dreds of animals are killed. weekly, all
of which are consumed at home. The
highest price is paid for every kind of
livestock, particular attention being
given to securing choice delicacies for

Chicago people have bought this land
in tracts ranging from ten to eighty
acres ana have largely furnished the
money for its Improvement.
Palmer and Chaplin OF 1885 and 113s
Chicago Stock Exchange building, Chi
cago, H., are the gentlemen who have
Colonized these lands by effective and
tireless efforts extending over the past
four years. Their literature, which is
considered the most comprehensive is
sued on California, can be had on appli-
cation.
West of the TERRA Bonita lies the
Palmdale district, originally settled by
colony of Germans, who built the old
Palmdale ditch from Little Rock creek
and planted nearly 1900 acres of trees
and alfalfa. In this settlement are many
bearing orchards and thrifty alfalfa
fields, which speak volumes for the fruit
fulncss of the country.
Within the past year a syndicate OF
eastern gentlemen have bought the
Palmdale ditch and improved it greatly
In addition these gentlemen have pur-
chased 5000 acres of land around Palm
dale, and have acquired the Alpine reser-
voir site, natural storage basin To-
Gated in the mountains a few miles
south of Palmdale, an interest in which
thriving town has also passed to these
gentlemen.
Without any buster this syndicate,
which has been Incorporated as the
SOUTH ANTELOPE VALLEY IRRI-
CATION COMPANY,
is now engaged in constructing what
when finished will be the largest irri-
eating canal in Southern California.
This great ditch is designed to carry
the flood waters of Little. Rock creek
to the storage reservoir above mention
ed. 1t will be eight miles long, ten feet
wide on the bottom, six feet deep and
fifteen feet wide on the top. 1t is PLAN
ned to carry $4,000 miners inches of wa
ter.
The reservoir is a natural storage
basin. pronouncea by experts to be the
most perfect in the state, and covers an
area of five miles in circumference.
When filed with water it will be thirty
five feet deep, and have capacity suf1i-
cient to irrigate 10000 acres of land A

build the fumes, truSseS and bridges on
the line of the canals. The lumber was

tunnels have been constructed, the larg-
est being $50 feet in length Over 100
men and many teams are occupied in the
work. pushing it forward with all the
expedition possible. so that by May the
work will be completed. There are over
10000 feet of fumes leading to the reser-
vor and the water is delivered to the
valley from the reservoir through n
tunnel 700 feet in length.
The California Construction Company
of San Francisco has the contract for
this work, the L. w. Blinn Lumber COM
pany is supplying the lumber, and Burt
Cole of Palnldale is the chief engineer in
charge.
Nathan Cole jr. of Los Angeles is the
president of the South Antelope Valley
Irrigation company, the company carry
ing out these improvements, which mean
so much for the Antelope valley. The
town of Palmdale on the Southern Pa
cific railroad is the center of all this de-
velopment, and just now has the aspect
of a mining camp, with scores of men
hurrying to and fro, and heavily laden
lumber teams departing hourly for the
works on Little Rock creek. This town
is the most important in the Antelope
valley. and is growing rapidSS.
The Southern Pacific has recently built
q $4,000 depot at this point, said to be the
finest on their line between Los Ange-
les and Bakersfield. AT Palmdale there
is also a hotel, store blacksmith shop,
lumber yard, hay warehouse, brick kiln,
school house and roundhouse for the
helpers on this division of the Southern
Pacific. The bricks are also ready for
a new bank and business block, to in
clude a hotel, and to cost $4,000.
This spring 1000 acres more have been
prepared for almond and olive planting
One of the best authorities on olive cul-
ture in the country has stated az his
opinion that there is no better soil or
condition in the United States for olive
culture than in the Antelope valley.
The productions of the Antelope valley
cover a wide range of diversity. All the
grains thrive there without irrigation
and the yield is enormous. Only few
years ago not an acre of this vast terri
tory had been touched by the plow; to-
day the grain fields cover an area twenty
miles long by four wide. The quality
cannot be eXcelled anywhere, and at the
New Orleans exposition wheat from this
valley took the first award.
Where water can be had for irrigation
alfalfa is a staple product, and return
from three to seven crops per season.

Wonders of the West

At lecture in New York the other
day Prof. A. S. Bickmore said:
THE American continent began with
limited area in Canada and about our
own Appalachian mountains. 1t ex-
tended south and west UNTIL by the
close of the coal period, there was dry
land from the Atlantic coast to beyond
the Mississippi. Beyond that was a
shallow sea, in which rose islands,
where are now the Rocky mountains.
I'm the next change, at the cretace-
Gus period, Southern California and the
Great Basin rose above the level of this
sea. The Cascade mountains were still
below what was then a great Ameri-
can Mediterranean 5000 miles in length
In later changes detached bodies of salt
water were left in the Great Basin,
Those with an exterior drainage in time
lost their salt, while the others, like the
Great Salt lake, are still briny."
The subsequent geological growth Of
this western territory was explained,
and views of Castle Rock and Chimney
Rock We're then shown. "These rocks" !"

mountains, at the natural gateway to

fences the whole orchard.
The aim is to build up as fine a settle
ment as it is possible for intelligent in
dustry skill and patience, with moder
ate capital to do.
The colony not only sells the land, but
has planted and holds for itself more
than two hundred acres.
THE LOCATION OF MANZANA
Is choice and of exceeding beauty and
healthfulness. The soil is a deep, rich
decomposed granite loan, uniform and
well drained. 1t is rich in the elements
OF plant life. Roads are easily made,
and once made are hard and smooth so
that no expense is required to keep them
in order year after year.
The development of Southern Califor-
MIA reads like a story from the Arabian
Nights, but the Antelope valley, al
though to some extent unknown and Of
| ten despised, has more than kept pace
with the rest of this country. Some
great enterprises have originated there
and been successfully consummated.
Good schools are now found at inter-
walls of five miles. There is no saloon
nor any demand for one for forty miles
along these foothills.
SOCIETY.
The present settlers are refined and
cultivated and of much more than or
dinary intelligence. Many college
graduates are found both among the
men and the women. One coming from
our cultivated eastern cities would
feel no lack of refinement and harmony
in his surroundings here The people
Of the valley are more refined and in
tellectual than the majority in our
cities. They are a reading community
and if books are standard of intellec-
tuality this valley takes on second place

| lope valley carried off another prize at
the Worlds Columbian exposition at
Chicago by capturing the first premium
on prunes.
The olive thrives in all sections of the
valley, and the trees are clean and
bright. No scale or smut was ever
known. At Carter's place. on Big Rock
creew, are bearing trees and many young
orchards are being planted by horticul-
turists who have faith in this product.
But the almond seems to have found it's
home in this favored section, where it
grows marvelously and bears prodigious
crops.
There are from 5000 to 1000 acres plant
ed to almonds in the valley, and in few
years train-loads of these toothsomc
nuts will go east to capture those mar
kets from the foreigner
Altogether the Antelope valley gives
excellent prospects for the future. and it
is only a Qustion of time and water when

THE TERRA BONITA COLONY.
Is an instance Of what enterprise, to-
gether with the expenditure of large
sum of money, can do. This remarkable
colony has grown up in q night, as it
were. Located nine miles east of Palm
dale on a high mesa overlooking Little
Rock creek, from which it receives its
water supply. it is the marvel of all
who behold it. Comprising about 5000
acres, 1000 acres of this colony are plant
ed to orchards of which the almond and
prune predominate although there arc
many hundreds of other deciduous trees.
These orchards are planted solidly, on

land after term of years set to growing

cultivates them, keeps the land free

while full supply is always held in re-

The bearing orchards, however, pro-
duce abundant fruit without irrigation.
Almonds grown in this valley took the
first premium at the late exposition in
Atlanta. They are so clear and white
as to need no bleaching. The kernels
