nBusiness is improving-improving
elowly-but still improving"
This was a remark Of San Ber-
nsrdino banker when questioned as
to the business outlook. His bank had
Increased its deposits over 100000
during the past year, and he felt justi-
ned In taking this as a barometer OF
the business condition CT the country
tributary to that city. Other banks
had made similar gains.
San Bernardino is growing and
prosperous community. Business is
not booming, however. and there is no
speculative feature in the real estate
market. There Is no rush in business,
but the country has healthy growth
and there is a steady and decided in
crease of population, which In most
counties would be considered remark
able. AS illustrative Of this fact, San
Bernardino county had population OF
c5.467 in 1890. In 1893 Riverside county
took nearly 10000 of that population
and then in 1896 the population of the
county was 26,S75, showing an increase
notwithstanding the loss Of territory
population and wealth in the formation
Of the new county.

The company has not as yet fixed
any water rates, but they will probably
be fixed on basis of a certain sum per
acre and an annual payment of another
fixed sum per year. These sums will
be necessarily within the easy reach
of the ranch owner for a rate beyond
this limit would be as unsatisfactory to
the company as to the consumer.
This system when completed will be
one of the finest and largest ones in
Southern California, and will insure an
abundant supply of water to all the
country tributary to the city of San
Bernardino.
The company is not borrowing money
to build their works, and when the wa
ter rights are offered for sale the pur-
chasers can know absolutely that the
company can deliver the goods, and that
the title will be perfect. and that there
fore there will be no back talk.
This subject Is thus treated at length
because 1t is the most important move
made to build up the city of San Ber-
nardino.
MORE WATER
The San Bernardino valley is the best
watered valley in Southern California

has too much water, and the artesian

ity for a summer resort.
SUMMER RESORTS
Squirrel Inn ie already a popular re-
sort, but it is owned by a club and Is not
open to the general public. 1t Is not
putting the matter too strongly to say
that the future will see on the summit
of this range of mountains, near one Of
it's artificial lakes, one of the most popu-
lar summer resorts to be found on the
Pacific Coast. The electric railroad
herein referred to could be run by the
power generated by the water from the
Arrowhead reservoirs.
GREAT WATER POWER
And this brings us to another very
important feature of the enterprise. As
the water is dropped from the summit
of the mountains to the plains below, it
can be used for power purposes under
pressure Of over 5000 feet. A stream of
1900 inches of water under such a pres
sure is great power. Here is the cheap
est kind of power, which can be used In
the summer time all over this great val
| ley TO pump wafer III tue lCCdlltleb WHERE
water near the surface is plentiful and
where it can easily be pumped and placed
on dry lands nearby for irrigation pur-
poses.
A portion of the water supply from
this system will be running all the veal
----------,,.e-I power can be had, ever
by using small stream, on account ol
the great pressure.
WATER RIGHTS AND RATES
This system will be completed so that
water can be offered the public for use
during the season of 1s99-one year
from next spring. The company will
probably not retail their water but will
sell it only in large quantities to water
companies or irrigation districts.

Valley and Lytle Creek wash at the

duit that will be nearest to the con-

the Arrowhead Reservoir Company was
Incorporated under the laws of Ken
lucky, with principal Office in Cincinnati.
| Soon after. Col. Adolph Wood, the
business man of the examining commit
tee, moved to San Bernardino with his
family and settled down to work on the
proposed system. Work was commenced
at once and 1t has been kept up ever
since. except when temporarily stopped
ty unfavorable weather.
In 1892 the financial panic put a stop
temporarily to the work of developing
this valley, so far as putting more land
under irrigation was concerned. and the
mand for the water when ready for de-
livery, proceeded to make haste slowly
and the work was not pushed.
WATER MEASUREMENTS
In the meantime, however, Colonel
Wood instituted q system of investiga-
tions of the water supply of his noun
tain water shed. Rain gauges were es-
tablished at 26 different points, and for
five years the rainfall of that section has
been carefully and accurately meas
ured. This period has covered three
very dry seasons, and hence the con-
clusions formed from this series of
measurements will be very conservative
and safe for the guidance of the COM
pany.
Not only this. but weirs were, put in
every stream in the watershed tribu-
tary to the proposed reservoirs, and the
streams were measured daily for the
five years. This data thus obtained is
invaluable. and makes the company per-
fectly safe in arriving at conclusions.
This Information Is not given to the

the beet advantage possible in the man
ufacture of leather from various kinds OF
hides. This seems to make them entirely
independent, and places them, for the
time being, beyond all competition. 1t
is said that tanneries using this process
can afford to pay $40 ton for the dried
canaigre, and the drying process makes
about one ton OF the dried product out
OF three tons of the green roots. 1t is
not necessary to figure up the profits Of
this business, as the company have no
land for sale. They have bought the
land for the purpose Of raising canaigre
for the market. They give no informa-
ton to the public to guide others in the
work. They undoubtedly know what
they are about, but any one else trying
to follow them would be cropping in the
dark.
This company is spending large sum
The herald., 1897-05-09

of money at the present time IN the
prosecution of their work, and are fur
nishing employment to hundreds of peo-
pie. Over one hundred tents are pitched
in the vicinity of Rosena for the accom-
mediation of laborers. They also nave
half a dozen gangs OF men at work in
different parts of Los Angeles, San Ber-
nardino and Riverside counties gather
ing the wild canaigre roots These
roots are shipped to Rosena, station on
the Santa Fe system few miles west of
Rialto, on the north line Of the COM
panys land. Here the seed end Is cut
off to plant, and the remainder is sliced,
sundried and packed and shipped to
market. Many carloads Of the roots are
being thus gathered.
It is said that large canaigre factory
to extract the tannin will ultimately be
erected on the tract at cost Of s15O,O0O,
and that large tanneries will also be es-
tablished.
This company and this valley will
need more water. Some of this addi-
| tional supply can be had from Lytle
creek. And this water question brings
us to the consideration Of another i'm
portant question.
ARROWHEAD RESERVOIR SYSTEM
And here is another company that
works so quietly and says nothing for
publication SO persistently, that even
the people of San Bernardino know little
of what has been done and less of wha
is going to be done.
wealthy business men and capitalists
IN Cincinnati, o. During the winter OF
1s90-91 these capitalists sent commit
tee of three, consisting of an engineer
an attorney and business man, to in
vestigate the feasibility of building an
extensive reservoir system on the head
waters Of the Mojave river, and then
bringing the waters thus impounded
through the mountains into the San, Ber-
nardino Valley for use in this valley and
from thence westward.
A careful investigation Of the project
resulted in a favorable report from the
committee, but the capitalists hesita-
ted. as the undertaking was gigantic

the writer visited Cincinnati, and during
his stay in that city an agreement was
reached to proceed with the work, and
