AZUSA
Every Prospect of Prosperity-An I'M
portant Irrigation Proposition


AZUSA, Jan. 9.-Nothing could be
more charming than the weathr we have
had here for the past week. The late
rainfall came down so softly and at the
same time SO copiously that 1t moist
ened the ground to considerable depth.
The fine, sunny weathr that followed
gave the trees and all vegetation ali I'M
petus of growth that renders the valley
a scene of vernal beauty.
All the packing houses here are in
full blast and the orange growers are
sending their yellow fruit in for snip
ment in large quantities.
Azusa is on the threshold of a prosper
ity which promises to make her one of
the most busy and growing towns on the
line of the Santa Fe road. The irriga-
tion companies are now considering
very important propositions from the
electrical power company about the wa
ter that will be developed in the canyon
by the very extensive tunneling and
piping the latter corporation is about to
initiate. The electric people will have
two hundred men at work in the canyon
next month and they will bring a large
volume of water to the mouth of the
gorge, where their powerful dynamos
will be located. They will have q fall
of over four hundred feet of water, and
the power generated will be carried on
wires to Los Angeles, where it will be
utilized in working the electric COM
pany's trolley car system. The irrigat-
ing companies are careful in any agree
ment they make with the electric people
to secure advantageous conditions for the
sale of power in Azusa, and the wisdom
Of this provision will be realized in the
future by the inducements we shall be
prepared to offer for the establishment
of factories here.
The new road across what is called "the

finished the road on their side to the

SAN DIEGO.
A Schooner Burned at Sea-An Educa-
tional Congress.


SAN DIEGO, Jan. 9.-The schooner
Eva, owned by Capt. Bellac, was
burned at sea yesterday, midway be-
tween Point Iona and Coronado is
land French Charley" as he is gen.
orally known, was the only man aboard
at the time of the accident, which he
explains as follows: He had been out
all night al the Coronado islards and on
his return home started in to prepare
his breakfast. He had taken small
quantity of gasoline from his large
tank to fill the smaller one on his stove.
anG when he struck a match there was
an explosion, the captain being thrown
through his cabin window and landing
on the deck unconscious. When he re-
covered his boat and clothes We're on
fire. In an instant ne threw himself
into the water and then regained the
burning craft in the hope of rescuinC
his belongings and $a3 he had slowed
away. In his efforts he was severely
burned and finally had to abandon all
and put to sea in the small skiff that he
was towing. After a hard battle and
suffering intense agony from his burns,
the unfortunate marine reached Ballast
Point, where he received medical assist
ance, and later in the day was brought
Into town. The loss of tine schooner is
a serious one to Capt Bellac as it rep
resented his savings for the past twenty
years.

AZusa has put forth so much energy
in road building the past year as to
make her easily accessible from all di-
rectionS. The road on Azusa avenue to
Covina, a distance of four and a half
miles, is a perfect boulevard, and has
done much to not only bring new trade
to this town, but to neutraliZe the effect
of the extension of the Southern Pacific
railroad to territory heretofore tribu-
tary to our business.
Speaking of the Southern Pacific.
think there can now be no doubt that
that company will extend it's Monrovia
branch road from Duarte to AZusa as
soon as the winter is past. Within the
week it has pushed it's roadway from
the station at Duarte to the river, and
will throw bridges across the channels
as soon as the rainy season is over OF
course the way Of railroading is gen.
orally inscrutable; but in this case the
policy of its management is obvious.
The original line Of the Southern Pa
cific is too far to the east to catch the
fruit traffic. The great production of
oranges, etc, along the route is near the
foothills, and the Santa Fe has now the
interior lines on that traffic. The ex-.
tension of the Monrovia branch, how
ever points to the present policy of the
Southern Pacific management to run it's
road directly through the foothill fruit
country. They have secured right of
way north of the track of the Santa Fe
and will undoubtedly build their road
toward San Bernardino between the
track of the rival road and the foothills
That will give Azusa the practical bene-
fit of three roads, two passing directly
through the town and one touching at
Covina, four miles south of it.
The good effect of all this awakening
enterprise upon Azusa is naturally felt
number of new houses have been built
lately, and the demand is urgent for
more. New people are constantly ar
irving in numbers at the hotels and To-
cal business is in a prosperous and buoy
ant condition.
