ROSY IS FUTURE
FOR DELANO TOWN
ELECTION EARLY IN FEBRUARY
FOR INCORPORATION
Present Population of San Joaquin
Valley Town Is 5oo-5ank
Deposits Reach
100000

The citizens of Delano presented
their petition to the Tulare county
board of supervisors at a recent meet
ing, and the articles of Incorporation
were adopted by that body, and 1t is
probable that Tuesday, February g,
will be set as the day for holding the
election. OF course, the result will be
a unanimous adoption. Delano mas
shown steady and permanent CROWN
the past year. Its population now is
in excess of 500. Business is brisk, and
this seems propitlous time 10 become
a corporate city.
The banks of a city or community
are generally conceded as a favorable
barometer of business. The First Ma
tional bank of Delano is showing de-
posfts near the 100000 mark, which
is a very creditable condition for a
town of 500 people, and is eloquent
testimony of prosperity in that sec
ton.
$4,000 for New Block
The two-story frame building on
Front street owned by o. B. Kitsby,
which was destroyed by fire recently,
is to be replaced by a modern two
story brick building, to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. r. *. Brun-
dage, a recent Delano land buyer, is
| setting out ten acres to valencia or
anges. Mr.. Brundage has decided tc
make Delano his permanent home and
has moved his family from their Tor
mer home in San Francisco to Delano.
He has opened up a first-class book
and candy store.
The S. T.. B. Morse Development
company, who are improving their
vast acreage adjacent to Delano, have
had many buyers over their property
the past few weeks. This company
has been busily engaged for more than
a year testing the fertility of soil, de-
veloping water and otherwise proving
the adaptability of their holdings to
orange culture and extensive farming.
The experts who have gone over their
property pronounce it the finest body
of land in the state. Certainly moth
ing iii famous San Joaquin valley ex-
GELS it in natural situation. The water
development is going forward with
success, and the many wells already
brought in are increasing each week
in volume The Morse company now
have some 1000 acres ready for till
age, and from their brisk sales Delano
to the east and north will soon be a
well settled, prosperous community.
The work of this company is a strik-
ing illustration of the marVelously rap
id change possible on California lands
when once water is procurable in
abundant quantity. Delano has q
most rosy future.
