HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL.
In 1886, two Bencdictine fathers went
to Banning and began their work among
the Indians. In 1888, Rev. Mother Cain
crime Drexel purchased eighty three
acres including the buildings erected by
the Benedictines, and the work OF es-
tablishing the industrial school was put
in the hands of Father George Willard,
who was sent out by the bureau OF
Catholic missions, but unhappily died
Of typhoid fever before much advance
was made. In 1890 Rev. B. Florian Hahn
was appointed uperintendent of the
school. Under his management the

ATTRACTIONS.
The beautiful scenery of Redlands
and environment has done much to at
tract a wealthy and cultured class OF
settlers in the valley. Smiley park
at Canon Crest park has become famous
all over the country. Although private
property and fortune spent in I'M
provement. it is thrown open for the
enjoyment of the public. The park
consists of 100 acres and overlooks the
entire valley. Here every species of

portion of the way by retaining walls OF

at a distance are seen the cities of San

immediately below is beautiful Red

Except in the business portion every
home has it's surrounding orchard, its
bower of roses All the slopes of the
hills are cultivated and set to orange
trees; the glossy, dark green leaves of
which shine everywhere.
Hundreds of tourists visit Redlands
to enjoy its magnificent scenery and its
soft and genial winter climate.
HOTELS.
The hotels of Redlands are always
well filed during the winter season and
each year the guests remain later into
the spring, as they discover that South
ern California is not only the winter
resort, but a fine place in summer as
well. The nights are always cool even
in midsummer.

grown and is unusually productive
five to seven crops being grown eacn

tons per acre A ready market for these
products is always found, and this fact
conduces largely to the general prosper
ity of the town.
The railroad and shipping advantages
of the country are steadily lmproVlnS'
although it has today ample faci,tt,eS
for all business. There are two trans
continental lines. Santa Ana being 't"
terminus of the southern Paciilc r''l-
road and also an important point on thc
Atchison, Topeka and Santa t'", Whlch
goes through The county TO san Diego
There is also a branch line of the South
ern Pacific running from Anaheim east
to Villa Park and south through Mac
pherson to Tustin, and it is said that
the company will soon build branch
from Santa Ana direct to Lone
Beach. There is much hope of this new
load, and If it is constructed 1t Will
prove of great advantage to those who
desire to get their products to the mar
ket without delay.
Another feature which adds largely to
the prosperity of the county is the fact
that there are 5000 beehives in the vari-
Gus apiaries, and many carloads of
honey are ScLl W lIlc iliulhe tllots' II
Orange each year. Stock raising is
an important industry, while hogs,
horses, sheep, ostriches and poultry
abound. One of the things which make
the outlook for the future hopeful is
the fact that the sugar beet here finds
those peculiar elements of soil and eli
mate that make it rich in saccharine
matter, and therefore valuable in COM
merce. The yield on each acre of the
best beet sugar land is very large. 1t
is believed by those who have
thoroughly investigated the question
that the county is likely to become the
leading sugar producing section of the
world, for there is enough rich land
adjacent to the town alone to produce

1t was only in 1889 that Orange
county was organized, and considering
it's youth it has made great progress in
all directions. Santa Ana is the
county seat of Orange county and is
the fourth city in size in this part of
California. 1t has first class improve-
ments of modern character equal to
those of any town of it's size in the
country. 1t is distinguished by own
ing it's own water system, which could
not be improved upon, for the water is
obtained from first-class artesian wells
and distributed to every part of the
city. Two other features which make
the town attractive are that it is well
lighted by gas and electricity and its
streets are we'll paved, with promise Of
much work of this character for the

CANAiORH
Another Agricultural lien Thst eramlses t.
Be- Big Thisg


The establishment of a factory to
manufacture tanning extract from Can
aigre root has at last taken shape and
bids fair to open another avenue Of
agriculture to the industrious farmer
who desires to live in Southern Cali
fornia.
1t has been practically demonstrated
that Canaigre is particularly at home
in Southern California. 1t cannot. how
ever, be raised far removed from fac
tory requisite to produce tannin from
the roots, as this product must natur-
ally come in competition with oak and
hemlock bark extracts, and must be
produced within the limits Of safe COM
petition.
The solution of this problem is the
offer of a local company to work up
the product and fixing a price that
ensures an easy and rapid way of pay
ment for the lands SO purchased, is
certainly a most reasonable proposition
to those who desire to obtain q home
by their own industry. and handsome
competence in addition.

acid flavor, very agreeable to some pal
ates. Cherries ripen in May and come
in great variety both of the black and
the white and yellow sorts. They are
the same beautiful fruits that are sold
in the east at extravagant prices, and
the retail price in Redlands varies from
25 to 10 cents pound. In the same
mountain regions where the apple
grows the cherry has been found to
flourish, though it does not do well at
lower level. Formerly all the cherries
sold in this market were imported from
the north. but the local demand will
soon be fully met by the local supply,
the fruit being as large and handsome
and as luscious as that grown in any
part of the world.
Berries, except the strawberry, We're
very little grown until within year
or two. People were too busy with other
matters to grow small fruits. But an
immense quantity of red raspberries
blackberres and dewberries is now pro
duced. Currants, gooseberries and
huckleberrieS are not grown locally, Dul
are in the market in season. The price
Of these fruits vibrates between 10 and
cents a box, being more often the lat
ter than the former. Peaches and april
cots ripen about the middle of June.
They are very luscious and very cheap,
the retail price, as rule, being about 2
cents q pound. Soon after these come
the grapes in wonderful profusion and
variety, and the fresh figs, which, with
cream and sugar, make delicious des-
sert and are with many people the fav-
orite fruit of the year. All of these fruits
last through the summer and many of
them until Christmas. The guava is a
later product and is not very much in
vogue as a raw fruit, although it has it's
good qualities. Its principal use is in
the making of delicious jelly. Melons of
all kinds come early and are very
abundant and cheap. Persimmons are
a novelty of the autumn. To get these
fruits at their best one must live among
them and they are certainly one of the
principal charms of Southern Califor-

No city in the east does more than
this. But the public school system of
California is so universally known to
be good that this subject need not be
dwelt upon here. The school buildings
are handsome edifices which would do
credit to any municipality, and have
been constructed with a special view to
future enlargement to meet the de-
mands of a constantly increasing popu-
lation.
The teachers and principals are wide
awake, progressive people, well paid and
efficient. There are also number of
private schools which receive younger
children and prepare them, if desired
for entrance into the high school. shere
are fifteen religious organizations in
Redlands, so that the new conner. what
ever his creed may be. has no difficulty
in finding a home among his fellow
worshipers.
The town has two local papers and
has unusually good railroad facilities.
The Redlands postoffice in the presiden-
tial grade and the business done is suffl-
cient to entitle the city to free deliv-
cry. The electric light ervice covers the
residence as we'll as the business portion
of the town, and is very satisfactory.
