YUCAIPA VALLEY
PREPARE FOR FIRST ACREAGE
SUBDIVISION
YUcAlPA CITY TO BE BUILT
IMMEDIATELY
Redands Bankers and Business Men
oVersubscrlbe Stock Issue in Great
Enterprise Involving One
Million Dollars

George w. Hopkins, general man
ager of the Southern California colo
nization bureau, who pioneered the
Yucaipa Valley colony project, has just
returned from the valley and reports
that the surveyors are now in the field,
two crews, in the charge of Chief En-
gineer C. C. Brown, running lines for
the first acreage subdivision and part
of Yucaipa City townsite. Surveys
have been completed for a series of
three storage reservoirs on the syn
dicate's land formerly the Benson
ranch) at considerable elevation
above the lands to be subdivided, af-
fording heavy pressure for town pur-
poses and abundance of water for ir-
rigation for every acre offered.
Bids are being advertised for the
first of these reservoirs, to be closed
November O. and construction to fol-
low at once. This reservoir will con-
tain eight acres, with q depth of TWEEN
ty-five feet
Yucaipa City will be located on the
mesa, formerly the Houghton and
McNee ranch, in the general center of
the valley, and the Redlands & Yu-
caipa Electric railway STANDARD
gauge, for freight and passenger traf-
fic), will connect the new town with
Redlands, nine miles distant. The
rich fruit and farming lands surround
ing the townsite will be subdivided
into five, ten and twenty acre tracts
and supplied with water for irrigation
and domestic purposes.
Afford Ideal Climate
These lands and the townsite have
an elevation of $500 to 2700 feet, af-
fording an ideal climate, with no ex-
tremes of heat in summer or cold in
winter. Development work will be
pushed rapidly and it is hoped to have
the property ready for the market on
December 1.
The syndicate has now purchased
practically all of the lands of the val
ley proper, nearly 1900 acres, all of
which has been in cultivation for
thirty years, with never a crop failure
AS an indication of the faith which
Redlands bankers and business men
have in the future of this enterprise it
may be said that subscriptions for over
100000 of stock in excess of the amount
contemplated by the syndicate have
been received and the books are now
closed.
The great Dunlap ranch, which lies
just east of Redlands, contains some
1000 acres of orange land fully equal to
Redlands' best, and this will be placed
on the market early next year.
A sixteen-inch artesian we'll is now
being drilled in Wildwood Glen, from
which the upper lands will be supplied
for irrigation. Work will also be
taken up at once in the north end of
the valley four miles of vitrided pipe
having been ordered for conveying ir-
llgation water from living springs to
the colony tracts.

DIED IN OKLAHOMA.

The death angel has entered the
home of Calvin McAuley, taking
his wife, Victoria. She formerly
lived near this place, but had been
living in Oklahoma several years.
Besides her husband and five chill
dren she leaves three brothers, j..
M. Pafford of Hutchinson, Kan, d.
D. Pafford of Lexington, and M.
P. Pafford of Flatwoods.
In offering coincidence to the be-
reaved, we admonish them to weep
not; God needed another angel and
called her up higher where she is
safe with our loving Savior; she
has laid aside earth's treasures
for treasures on high where she is
waiting and watching for you.
God has taken her away-we
know not why; He has called her
away, hence away to that land of
endless day; now above thy form
we say:
Sleep, sweetly sleep, we shall miss thee
here below,
AS the years shall come and go Gods
will is best we know.
Thou art through with toll and care,
thou no more our lotto share
Tho for us tits hard to bear.
Sleep, beloved, sweetly sleep, holy an
gels vigils keep
While above thy form we weep.
Sleep on, sweet Victoria, sleep sweetly
take thy rest;
Sleep unti at Gods behest we shall
meet in mansions blest.
Thou art laid thy treasure by for treas.
ure in the sky.
A place in the home is vacant, which
never can be filled;
A voice we loved is stilled;
Sleep on, Victoria. God called thee home
He thought it best.

ANOTHER FATHER GONE.
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

| Editor THE CHRONICLE:
Dear Editor-If you will kindly give
me space in your beloved paper, l will
give sketch OF Uncle Charles Oatsvall,
who departed this life February 8, in his
seth year. He resided near Coxburg,
and had been a paralitic for at least two
years. He is survived by several chill
dren besides his aged companion, who
is 81 years old.
Last August on Sunday arose with a
burden on my mind; it seemed that l
must GO and see Uncle Charles before I
held services that day. went over to
see him, and in our conversation spoke
of my wife, whom he knew from child
hood, and he agreed with me that she
was good woman. told him thatshe
wanted everyone else to be good aud he
answered in the affirmative. Following
this up said "That makes me want
to ask you a question what are your
prospects for better world than this ?"
and he answered "Good p Many times
I had prayed for him, and when he an
sweredgood it lit my soul with Heavenly
love; it made me happy, and 1 could
preach better that day to think the Lord
had saved Uncle Charles Oatsvall.
The young ought not to put off making
peace with God, for it might be too late
to wait for old age.
We conducted the burial services in
the presence of large gathering of his
friends. and his children were present
to pay the last tribute of respect to the
departed loved one. Rest-that sweet
rest-until the trumpet of God shall
awakethe dead, and then Uncle Charles
will come forth with the redeemed to
die no more
May the Lord bless his children and
all his friends, and if there are any of
them who are not prepared to meet IN
Gle Charles in Heaven, may the Lord
touch their hearts and then get ready
now for that great judgment day.
May the Lords blessings be with the
editor of our county paper; may he live
long and do good to his fellow man all
his life. Brother Editor, l am making
this article rather long, but could fill
one whole side of your paper in this ar
ticle. But will stop; may the Lord
bless you.
