This thriving little city of 5000 nhabit-
ants has made very fair progress dur
ing the past year. Having recovered
from the effects of boom that helped
to build, while it left many in debt, it
Is now on solid basis and it's business
is rapidly progressing.
During the past year more elegant
residences have been built than at any
period for the past ten years. The trade
of our merchants has greatly increased,
and they reportla better situation. finan-
cially, than ever heretofore. This is
owing largely to the fact that the coun-
try has settled up with enterprising
farmers in every direction.
The city has secured a handsome park
near the center of town, which will soon
be adorned with all the necessary i'm
provements to make it a place of public
resort.
During the year the Newport Railroad
company has extended it's line to the
famous peat lands, about eighteen miles
west of the city. This enables a large
number of farmers, and especially the
producers of celery, to ship their pro-
duce from their ranches direct by rail
to all points east. 1t has given power
full stimulus to the people in that Sec
ton and added much to the business OF
the county, as well as to Santa Ana.
One of the most elegant of the many
improvements made during the past
year was the county Jail, of which the
whole of Orange county is proud. Built
at an expense of about $21 900, of fine
pressed brick, with numerous adorn-
n1pnfS Hold
by spacious, well-kept grounds, it is
an ornament to the city. The interior
is fitted with the newest and best meth
DDS for safely keeping the inmates.
The new and elegant opera house
known as the Grand, owned by Johr
Huttenlocher, was finished in June OF
this year, and was opened to the publi:
by that peerless and gifted actress Ga
resident Of Orange county, Modjeska
1t is a beauty, and compares favorably
with any opera house on the Pacific
coast. Having long felt the want of a
play house, Santa Anans appreciate the
new one. 1t is finished up in artistic de-
signs and colors, with all the latest ap-
purtenances, and has a seating capacity
of one thousand. An experienced man.
ager is in charge and brings to the city
the best talent. The opera house build
ing is handsome, three-story brick,
with the lower floor arranged as store
rooms and part Of the upper floor as
offices.
Our public school buildings, five in
number, are already rated among the
best in California, and are constantly
being improved and enlarged to meet
the needs Of the public. A new school
house was erected this summer, at a
cost of $4,000, on East First street, and
was completed in time for the fall open

The year 1897 has not been particularly
remarkable in the history of Pasadena,
yet the improvements which her citizens
have been carrying on without any
blowing of trumpets or unnecessary
noise, have been such as would reflect
credit upon city of twice the size. Here
are the facts and figures-they speak for
themselves:
The list Of buildings erected in 1897
comprises only houses upon which con-
tracts for work were recorded.
Mr.. =. Q. Simons, secretary of the
Simons Brick and Contract company,
has record of 269 houses built in Pasa-
dena and Altadena during the year 1897
There are 1877 in the list appended and
the remaining 1O2 will easily average
$1,000 each in value. Then there are at
least thirty more smaller houses of
which no record has been kept, which
will average at least $500 each in value

in the Arroyo Seco so as to develop
more water, was undertaken Jointly by
the Pasadena Lake Vineyard Land and

A STARTLING ADMISSION

In his speech, Treasurer Meserve says
that BARLEY turned over to him in
available funds, $7OS,so3.62, besides
that tied up in bursted banks, and 81
got, after BARLEY went out of office,
$4,000 and some odd dollars OF school
money, which makes $S82 ,652.75. This
is exactly how the treasury stood"
There are some curious things in con.
nection with this. The fusion circulars
say the treasury was empty and the
speakers repeat the statement. Mes
erve says he got sl53, 900 of the BARLEY
money after BARLEY went out Of office,
but he does not deduct that from the
amount charged as republican steal
ings," Aud when he found that Bart.
ley had stolen the $50, 1Oi warrant he
marked it on his oks as reduction
OF the state debt" and so counts it In
his campaign circulars. It IL a suspi
cious method of bookkeeping and cam
paigning that can be detected by an,
person who will examine the records.
The Meserve speech also makes pub
lie another fact that was generally sus
pected: That BARLEY was rapidly pay
ing in the amount due after he wen
out of office and that he had collected
and handed over $l53, 600 before politi
cal clamor brought about his arrest ans
shut OF the payments.
