Of the state and wild alarm everywhere.
Such were the conditions existing in the
middle, western and northern portions

The worst fears OF the medical fra

Edwards has been pronounced yellow

The state board OF health has laid @

RAILROAD FACILITIES
Railroads are necessity, and in this
respect Riverside is favored very highly.
The first to come in was the California
Southern, now known as the Santa Fe.
which ranges along the edge of the mile
square and goes on down to South River
side, now called Corona, and uniting
with the line from Los Angeles to San
Diego, commonly called the Surf line"
providing an outlet to the coast and the
two great commercial points in that di-
rection. In the other direction it touches
at a distance of dozen miles, the great
Santa Fe overland at San Bernardino.
This furnishes a shipping route for the
constantly increasing crop of oranges,
and it brings in the tourist and visitor
from the east direct or from the coast on
his tour of Southern California.
The next road to come in was the lit
tie, motor line connecting Riverside with
San Bernardino and Cotton. Recently
the great rival overland road to the
Santa Fe purchased this little road, re-
built and Strengthened it somewhat, and
now has "a route for it's great trains right
into the heart of Riverside. By taking
the motor track as base of operations,
the trains are landed on Market street,
a few steps from Main street and the
business center of the city. Here the
company has purchased half block,
and has plans all drawn to erect on it
one of the most handsome depot,s on their
line, which will be an architectural or
nament to the city and furnish conve-
nient point of arrival and departure,
close to all hotels and business houses of
the. city. For their freight traffic the
southern Pacific has branch line along
by the packing house just outside the
mile square, where it has an excellent
opportunity to carry on an immense
freighting business, with plenty of yard
room and depot grounds The company
is about to erect three more packing
houses the coming month, for which the
contracts are already let, finishing them
in time for the coming orange pack. The
ext ension of this line down through
Corona and out through Chino is
planned for the next few months.
Another railroad, and one that is a
wow,Ssrful convenience to the visitor to
Riverside Is the street railway to Mag

ADJUNCTS TO CIVILIZATION
In the matter of schools it is fully ur
to the best on the coast, for from its
high school, in which the citizens take
great pride, to it's kindergartens' the
school system is one to be proud of and is
one of the principal attractions of this
progressive city. AS the demand in
creases the people are awake to the cal
and more schoolhouses are erected, that
the rising generation may have all the
| advantages in culture and religion

There are two adjuncts TO civilization
that are the pride of RiverSde--the pub

thousand, and, being free ibrary 1t is

is kept in bloom the whole year round.
A great feature of the park is the cacti,
of which there are over four hundred va
rieties. from the giants of Arizona to the
smallest specimens of foreign lands. The
park Il, a delightful place for a stroll
either in the evening or during the day,
while its location, within a short block
Of Main street, in the very heart of the
business center, adds greatly to its at
tractiveness.
