saWarGed to Juan Bandini. The rancho san Bernardino, which gave name to the SSounty and city, was granted to Jose a aa[la Lueo, Jose del Carmen Lugo, Vi- Sehle LuEo and Diego Sepulveda in 1S42 ey Juan B, Alvarado Constitutional Gov ernor of the Department of California ana ana 3udlcla! possession was given the same year by Dominguez, first Judge of the Peace in the District of Los Angeles The rancho contained nine leagues. or Sf .f00 acres This magnificent estate was SC SolG 1oy oy the original proprietors February 70, 1eSz: to ArnaSa Lyman and c. C. Rich Tor S'',5eo. Lyman and Rich were two of the original "quorum of twelve" sent out as leaders of party of 800 Mormons to coloniZe San Bernardino. A party had come from Salt Lake two years pre- Vlous ana attempted to purchase the Chino rancho, now magnificent beet-sugar farm, but were unsuccessful. The Nor mons first settled on Lytle Creek and built a small village, which was moved 10 the site of the present city when the Apostles made the purchase.
 The county was separated from Los Angeles April 26. 1853, by act of the Leg iSlature, when Isaac Williams David Seely, H. G. Sherwood and John Brown were appointed Commissioners to locate the town and lay out the farms and town lots. The county boundaries were not properly defined until April ?, 1S57 The city was incorporated by act of the Legis- lature April B, 1854. It then had popu-
 
 hourishing condition. It was the great center of travel and trade for Arizona. Utah, Idaho and Montana, and directly on the route to the sea. Fort Yuma, Tue son, Fort Moiave, Prescott and Santa Fe were all tributary to San Bernardino The Legislature passed an act May 1S 1864, repeating the first charter provided the act was ratified by the people, which they did with unanimity.
 Brigham Young, fearing a conflict of arms with the United States Government in 1857 called all his cohorts into Salt Lake City, and large portion of the pop ulation of San Bernardino obeyed the summons and sold their property to the gentiles for small sums. San Bernardino was then no longer a Mormon city al- though two years later a number of the original coloniSts returned, having repu- diated Brigham Young and selected young Joseph Smith as their leader But in the meanwhile gentiles had been com ing to San Bernardino, and although the imprint of the Mormons is still apparent. they never again obtained control of the corporation.
 The resources of San Bernardino Coun- ty are of the most varied character com prising everything requisite to the build ing up of a wealthy community while it's location in the great highways of--travel gives it a prominence over many of the Seven Sisters"
 TIMBER-In the mountains north of the city is an ineXhaustible supply of the best timber to be found, consisting of pine. black and white oak, cedar and ma hogany.

 THE IMPERIALs CITY-Imperial San Bernardino, the city of homes, of schools and of churches is the third in size of the cities of Southern California and is situated on the southern slope Of the San Bernardino Mountains, at a height of 1915 feet above the sea. Seven square miles are included in the corporate area and the population is II 900. San Bernar- dino is the central point of supply for the whole county and large sections of the mining districts of other counties and draws a considerable trade from Southern Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. The city was originally laid out one mile square by the pioneers from Utah. who had the wisdom and good taste to survey wide, straight streets and line them with shade trees. The same wise plan has been kept up in the numerous additions that have been made to the city, and the wide, shady streets, splendidly paved, af- ford charming walks and drives, that ex- cite the admiration of all visitors Pure artesian water flows from about six hum dred wells of from two to seven inches in diameter in the city and immediate vii cinity. These wells extend over an area of thirty square miles, the ordinary depth being 150 feet. The city is noted for it's beautiful, commodious and costly build ingS, the public buildings as well as the residences being very handsome. The county courthouse, situated on Court and

 The vine thrives as well here as in other parts of the State. The acreage is 6000 two-thirds of which is raisin grapes, one-fourth wine grapes and a small per centage of table. grapes.

The lake is on the headwaters of Bear Creek and has a water shed of over fifty square miles. From October to May it is not necessary to draw on the lake for water, the over flow being sufficient. By storing this overflow the water supply of San Fer nardino could be easily doubled

@ AN BERNARD1NO City and Coun-
 that an account, however brief, of
 the one must necessarily include
 ! @ description of the other.
 N San Bernardino County, with an
 area Of 1e,00O square miles. is the largest in the State. She stands first in the diversity of her climate, first in re- sources for irrigation, the first in the cul- ture of tropical fruits and the first in miles of railroad within her borders She is larger than several of the New England States put together, more extensive than Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut New Maryland and has a greater area than some of the European kingdoms
 In her climate, San Bernardino has her greatest charm. It can be expressed in two words-bounty and beauty. There is no Coast Range lying between the county and the sea. as is the case with the other breeZes from the Pacific temper the chilly winds of winter as well as the glaring heat of summer. This is truly the land of the sun and the sea The altitude varies from 300 to II 900 feet. and the trav- eler seeking cool climate in summer can find IL here as readily as he can a warm temperature in winter. The dis tance from the ocean is sufficient to dispel the moisture from the winds; yet they are cool and refreshing. The ocean fogs seldom reach this valley. and they are less dense here than along the coast The elevation, the latitude and the distance from the sea-only forty miles away combine to form a climatic condition that is rarely excessive. This has often been called the Italy of America but the cli- mate more closely resembles that of Southern Spain or Portugal, or perhaps Palestine. It is the most eQuable to be found in America, containing less damp ness than that of Florida. It is, especially in the more arid portions, the promised land for those suffering from pulmonary complaints It is a spot where can be found an equanimity of climate that is constant delfght-an absence of the frield extremes of winter or the burning heat of summer Gentle, eXhilarating breeZes golden, refreshing sunshine combine to make this natures own health resort
 The rains usually occur at a tempera- ture of about 50 degrees. and the wet days correspond to the April days on the Atlantic coast and in the Mississippi Valley. The dry winter days greatly re- semble pleasant October weather in the Middle States or May days in New Eng land.
