Nesting along the edge OF foothills
that make picturesque San Jaclnto Nal-
lev, overshadowed In the distance by
the towering peaks of Mount san
Jacinto and Mount San Bernardlno,
which stand as lone sentinels keeping
guard over this garden spot of Califor-
mia. are many acres of the most de-
sirable land in the southland awaiting
the hands of colonists, settlers ana
homebuilders. In the heart of this rich
district is located the historical little
city of San Jacinto, known Tor It's
picturesque legends of the early-day
ranchers, now having a population of
1900 thrifty and energetic people who
are continually working to aid in MAX
ing this valley the ideal home section
of all Southern California. That they
are succeeding is being substantially
demonstrated in the number of new
home owners settling on the lands
near San Jaclnto every week. During
the past few months thousands of acres
of fertile lands have been purchased by
a most desirable class of people who
are now establishing modern homes.
Many of these people plan the estab-
lishment of dairies, creamerieS, alfalfa
fields, fruit farms, and others Will
raise vegetables for early market. All
OF which means prosperity for the peo-
pie and enhanced value for the lands.
Today there is no section of Califor-
MIA Offering the desirable opportunities
for investment in land and homes that
are found in the San Jacinto valley.
These opportunities are being appre-
ciated by the wise investors and home
seekers and they are fiocking to this
garden spot of the southland. Many
eastern farmers who have been spend
ing the winter in the state have be-
come interested in the San Jacinto
valley. Some have visited the interest
ing points of this valley and are
familiar with San Jacinto, Hemet,
Murietta and other towns of the valley
and have become home owners.
The San Jacinto valley is located
only about four hours ride from Los
Angeles, the metropolis of Southern
California, where a ready market is
found for all the products produced at
all seasons of the year. Redlands, San
Bernardino and Riverside are only a
short distance away at the edge of the
foothills, and the entire valley will in
the near future be networked with
modern equipped electric railways.
The growth in the San Jacinto valley
population, the increase in trade and
the development of the great grain,
fruit, alfalfa, dairy and agricultural
interests were due first to the fact that
this valley had the location and sur
roundings to make improvement pos
sble upon the basis of natural adapta-
tion, and second, that it had for citi-
zens men who were capable of making
the most of opportunities.
The home mercantile enterprises the
agricultural, fruit growing, including
oranges, and the ranching interests of
the San Jaeinto valley are all backed
and operated by men of wealth and
homebuilders of ability; nearly all
hard working, selfmade men, most of
whom have made every dollar in their
possession. The citizenship is composed
of people who take peculiar interest in
promoting all enterprises which they
feel to be for the good of the valley
and the surrounding country, which
they know will ultimately be for their
own good.
To the visitor the San Jacinto valley
presents a picture of growth and sub
stantial prosperity as the center of an
important and thriving fruit and agri-
cultural community. The alfalfa pro-
duced here grows in rich luxuriance
and is a most valuable and profitable
crop; from five to six cuttings per sea-
son is the average crop. with artesian
we'll irrigation. The alfalfa fields of
this section are attracting unusual at
tention among dairymen who appre-
ciate the opportunity and who plan to
make this valley the leading dairy Sec
tion of Southern California
