the company of local and eastern CAPT

After years of effort and years OF

front, no promise of commercial in
dependence for the great southwest has
aroused such popular enthusiasm.
With the announcement comes the
statement that the United States gov

the project, has determined to develop
Port Orange into an adequately
equipped port of entry to accommodate
the vast commerce that is developing
here.
For years Los Angeles has been

A magnificent hotel is to grace Cres-
ton point, a location which has been
pronounced by connoiseurs and globe
trotters TO be the grandest hotel site in
America. This magnificent hostelry Is
to be surrounded by tropical gardens.
When completed the hotel and grounds
will be one of the most striking show
places in western America, according
to the statements of the officers of the
developing company.
When the development work is COM
pleted it is stated that Port orange
will be the only land-locked harbor
near enough to the great southwestern
railroad centers that can ever accom-
modate the vast commerce which Is
developing in the southwest.
Back Country Productive
Behind the port will be the great
orange, lemon, olive and celery coun-
try. Within radius of fifty miles are
over half million people who will be
directly benefited by the opening of the
harbor This number of inhabitants is
certain to be only a nucleus for many
times that number which will come into

The railroad which will connect Port
Orange with Santa Ana is expected to
develop vast oil region, which means
much in the commercial and industrial
development of this region. This oil
will furnish the motive power for rail-
road and steamship. The oil regions of
Orange county are known to be only
in their infancy and although compare
timely little effort has been expended
in their development they exported last
year more than $175,000 worth of oil.
The opening of Port Orange town
site has ben the signal for great buying
activity Many thousands of dallars'
worth of property have been sold to in
vestors who are shrewd enough to real
ize the immense possibilities of this
coming harbor city. The offices Of M.
L. Germain & Co., who are sole agents
for the property, have been literally
swamped with personal and written in
quiries from people who desire specific
information pertaining to Port Orange.
Large crowds are visiting the townsite
daily and it is expected that an .lnl1su-
ally large number Of people will go

goes. For many years one man has
owned and controlled the entire water
frontage and land Immediately sur
rounding what Is now Port Orange.
James Irvine, to whom was handed
down through an original Spanish
grant this important territory, for a
long time refused to grant right of
way. but under pressure has finally
been persuaded to relinquish part of
his interests. This made possible the
building of a railway into what is now
the townsite of Port Orange.
So much accomplished. a company
of local and eastern capitalists, under
the leadership of Eugene Germain of
Los Angeles, organized the Port Orange
and Santa Ana Railway company,
which recently filed articles of incor-
poration and has already begun con-
struction work. This railroad Is to be
broad gauge, double track system,
connecting the wealthy territory sur
rounding Santa Ana with the ocean
port.
Steel for the construction of the road
is now on the ground, ties are arriv-
ing, grading has started and it is only
a question of a short time before the
rails will be laid. The work Is being
pushed with all speed. This road will
accommodate regular-sized freight and
passenger cars and will connect with
the transcontpental lines at Santa
Ana. Thus Will be provided as COM
plete railroad facilities as could well
be demanded.
Capital Is 100000
The incorporators of the company are

father is warden of the port of New

1t is announced that because OF. the
confidence placed in the future of Port
Orange, the terminal of this railroad
and free harbor for all ocean-going YES
sells, one prominent lumber man of the
east has determined to invest several
hundred thousands of dollars in the es-

mills are to employ 700 men.
