It is ~hus sheltered from the chilling ~ wind and snow from that quarter. Occasionally during the winter months. however, the snow ventures'cautiously over the summit, like the .. ..white foaming crest of the mountain sea-wave, but as it slyly peeps over >,: this barrier the warm rays of the sun seem to say, I T~\ls far shalt thou go, and no farther.' , E 2 I. II Thus we can look ,up upon winter while we enjoy the warm balmy ~ air of the valley, plow and sow, cultivate the orchard, and gather and C; partake of the fruit. To the east the scene is varied, as the valley extends ! Jar into the distance, with higher isolated mountains on each side, capped IX. with snow. To the south the scene is still more varied. The surface is unaulating with some hills smooth and rounded as though by some glacial action of a primitive age, and through these valleys between the Ij elevations the placid waters of the ocean are seen glistening in the sun. r t?, II The residences, many of them, are very fine structures, and 'nearly ,., all are fitted up with that neatness, which tells of home comforts, refine- p ment and taste. These residences are not confined, as is usually the ~ case, to one main street or avenue, but radiate in all directions for miles ti from a common center, and it is difficult to decide, judging fro1'T\ the pro- • gress of the first ten years, what the 'bounds of Pasadena will be at the next decade." =.: The t,own is situated on a gentle slope of rising ground, lying finely .. to the sun. Its elevation is about 1100 feet above sea level, whi1st Los 'I Angeles has an altitude of only 2g6 feet. ~ Our County Map shows the location 'of the town and its surroundl ings. ., :' As a health resort Pasadena has for, years been well known to Cali- ~ I fornians. but not until recently does there seem to have been any I' realization of its great sanitary advantages by people of the Eastern .. :' States. Now, every hotel, boarding-house and private residence that has a room to spare, are crowded with tourists; seeking a respite from the !.;;i intense cold of the East, the malarias and fevers of the South, and the C I 'bliz~rds and cyclones of the North j and,hundreds are seeking amid the t 1· health-giving orange groves and the. balm! breezes of this . deligh~l i f clime to stay the ravage~ of some .te~ble disease, for the ~ure o.f w.his:h ~ I they have left: their homes and their fnends and sought thiS santtarium, . ! but we regret' to say in many c~es sought it too late. Yet the testimony ! r of all who come in the first stages of disease is to the wonderfully favor- II ~ 'able effect of tile climate upon their systems.

I The structure is three stories in height and surmounted in the center ' I by an elaborately constructed dome or tower, giving it the appearance of t son:te handsome public edifice. The , ground floor is divided' into ftve S large and well·lighted stores. The one on the west of these is occupied by the Pasadena branch of the immense hardware house of Harper & Reynolds Co. of Los Angeles, and is under the management of Mr. G. a A. Swa rtwout, one of the syndicate of capitalists who has erected the I block. The store next to this is occupied by the Pasadena National Bank, an institution just organized, and embracing in its board of direct- • ors several of the owners of the block, as well as leading capitalists of Los Angeles and Chicago. The third of the stores is occupied by Mr. A. Cruickshank. the welt- I known dry goods- man of Pasadena, who is also one of the syndicate . I I - owning the building. The other two stores are not yet leased, although numerous parties are negotiating for them, the managers being deter- . • mined that only persons whose business will be of a substantial •) advantage to Pasadena shalf occupy these beautiful stores in the very I heart of its husiness. i 1n addition to the two gentlemen above named ' as members of the I syndicate, there are Col. Edwin Ward, Harper & Reynolds Co., and E. ~ C. Webster also interested in the undertaklOg. ~ The upper stories will be occupied as offices, and perhaps as a hotel; 4 but as the building is not finished and will not be entirely completed ~ before the first of July, we cannot give any fuller details of the occu- 14 pancy of the upstairs than we have done. The front of the building presents a remarkably light and elegant .. appearance, its beautiful bay windows on the upper floors being decor-. ated in a style not surpassed by any structure of the ktnd in California. ~ The ,il'Jlmense plate..;glass windows. instead of having heavy wood or iron.' ~ sash, are set in light silver·plated metal, giving the ' \¥hole front of the " edifice a finish and a metropolitan appearance entirely exceptional in this part of the country. , t ; For years to come tlul Exchange b,lack wi~1 probably continue to be Sl the chief ~rchitectural attraction inJ'~de~a! and _the sy?dicat~ of gen· ~ tlemen who had the courage and pUbijc sp'Int-to engage III and carry to ~ completion so grand an unqertaking, iOI.. ..a fways be honored as among ) the best citizens and best friends of ilie town. ~ L-"-____________________ "-__________ ~c-______________ ~ ____ -c_' , I I • I ---- .. . , . .., . - 36 LOR ANGELES COUNTY DIRECTORY. w~ :c.

The sick and the well of all lands will gather in this hotel. Weary divines, flying for rest from Eastern pulpits, lawye rs and judges, worn out in many halls of justice, orators, lecturers, poe ts, editors, men and women noted in the fo"rum, on the platform, with the pen, soldiers who have won laurels with the sword, grave senators and wiley politicians, all will pac~ the long halls of this palatial hotel, and look from its broad portals on mountain, valley and sea, and the ten thousand bright orchard and vineyard-girt homes. This magnificent structure, erected at a cost of $250,000, originated in the mind of Emmonds Raymond, a man of seventy-five summers, and although of this great age, he st ill possesses all the faculties, aptness and alacrities of a man of thirty years; of great b,usiness ability, quickness and perception, and can strike as close a bargain as many a man of younger years. He knows every foot of pipe, every trap, closet and comer in this vast structure, containing, as it does, about 400 rooms and accommodations for 50C> guests; forty copper bath-tubs j fifty cistern water closets; electric call bells for each room, with fire ' alarm signal attachments. There are fire hydrants on every floor. One hundred and eigbty-five square feet of metal roofing. Fifteen hundred feet of water conducto-':5' The plumbing and gas-fitting has been under the charge of W. C. Furrey, of Los Angeles, one of the best known men in this.line in Southern California. K.

THE GRAND HOTEL, Comer of Colorado' street and Fair Oaks avenue, Pasadena, is first-class in every respect. The house is located in the' very center of the town and is one of the most attractive features in this California Paradise_ The gentlemanly proprietor, C. C. Stickles, is always at his post to make his guests feel at home. The rates in other hotels of the same grade range from two to four dolla~ per day; in this, which is constantly well fiJI~ \¥ith' tourists and visitors, they range from one and a half to two doUars.

The_ Pasadena Bank, duly incorporated under the general banking 1 law of the State of California, with a capital stock of $50,000, opened";'ts doors for business January 12th, 1885. This is essentially a home institution, almost th~ entire stock being held by some dozen of th~ oldest and I most responsible citizens. The law holding stockholders of corporations ; personally responsible for the obliga,tions of the corporations, makes this one of the solid and reliable institutions of the land. No higher tribute was ~ver paid to any banking institution nor greater confidence reposed in its management, than has been shown in this, by the community in which it is located: While in the beginning many were dubious about the advisability of attempting to establish a bank in Pasa~ dena, yet the cordial and unanimous support which the community has given it has placed its success beyond a doubt. Indeed, its success ! has been far beyond the success of the most sanguine expectations of its proprietors, and is another proof that in whatever direction Pasadena brains and enterprise are exerted, success is sure to follow. A good feature of the banking law of the State is the examination semi~annually by the Board of Bank Commissioners, appointed by the Governor. These examinations and the general supervision exercised over the banks by this Board is a guarantee to the public of the honesty and regularity with which they are conducted. A recent examination of the Pasadena Bank by the Commissioners found it in an exceedingly healthy condition, with a reserve far beyond what the Commissioners require. Such a splendid showing was made by the Rank that the Commissioners conducting the examination were profuse in the compliments to the officers in charge. Its officers are: P. M. Green, President; B. F. Ball, Vice President; D. Galbraith, Cashier. Correspondents: Chase National Bank, New York; Crocker, Woolworth & Co., San Francisto; Los Angeles National Bank, Los Angeles. See advertisement.

There is, in ! fact, but few old Southern Californians who do not recognize in Mr. Fitzhenry a man of sterl ing integrit y, enterprise and worth. Ladies, pa rticularly, are interested in the business of the firm, and for the finest styles of Ladies' wear the prices are in many cases far below the San Francisco retail prices for the same class of goods; whilst in the line of Children's wear this house is simply unapproachable, either in variety of styles or in prices. We cordially bespeak for the house a call from the ci ti zens of Pasadena, that they may satisfy themselves that it is to their in terest to leave the ir money in the town rather than to buy their boots and shoes in Los Angeles or anywhere e lse.

Si nce they first opened business in· Pasadena. two years ago, they have enlarged and greatly improved their store, and a re continually making new attractions. This house was the first in Pasadena in their line, and, notwithstanding the lively competition, they not only hold their own, but are taking a large share of new business as fast -as the town grows. They import direct from the East and sell o nly for cash, hence are able to sell below Los Angeles prices in nearly every class of goods. See advertisement. D L. H.

In December, 1885. the machinery )• was moved to Mary street, adjoining the L. 1\. and S. G. V. Railroad. ~ C. B. Ripley becoming the sole proprietor and manager. New and larger ~ buildings were put up, the carpenter shop being put into the second story; new machinel"¥ -was added, and the mill made first-class in every ~ respect.

There is no busines~ enterprise started in Pasadena of more interest to the fruitgrowers of the country than this, for on the condition in which our fr.uit is received East will largely d epend the prices to be obtained, and if fruit is not well packed it is useless to expect it will bear the trying ordeal of transportation in good condition. This firm does all the packing for the Fruit Growers' Association, and although they are running a large number of men OR full time, they have facilities for doing a Q1uch larger business.

The Pasadena Free Library was founded in 1882 by Mr. A.lbert Kinney. At that time there were very few houses in Pasadena. Only two sman wooden structures, since removed, represented the present business center. Many persons thought the idea impracticable, and some even' went so far as to oppose the library altogether. However, patience and persistence conquered, and the library was founded. The plan on which success was secured was one calling for thefonnation of a stock company. The shares were put at five dollars each and the entire colony canvassed. . Nearly every one became interested and almost every resident at that time took at least one share of stock. All the old settlers feel as though the library was one of their children, an'd it stands first in the affection of the people of Pasadena. Seven hundred dollars was contributed by the A. O. U. W.o and L O. G. T. societies toward building.a second story, which improved the appearance of the building very much and was a great aid. The Library association has recently purchased the lot on which it stand,S and is clear of debt. !\ full line of periodicals and dailies is to be found on the tables, and over five hundred volumes were added during the past year. No single irrstitution or act of the people of Pasadena has d one so much to make the place what it is, and so favorite a resort of strangers and invalid visitors, as the library. It is always crowded and the books are i,n great demand. Besides its utility in this respect the lib:ary has offered a place of resort in the evening for the young working men, or grown boys away from home, who otherwise would have had no good place to go, and would, perhaps, without this recreation have fallen into bad ·company and bad habits. Every person in Pasadena should be a subscriber to the $o<;:k. The largest subscribers are in the order named: Mr. Abbott Kinney, Mrs. L. H. Winston, Mr. E. T. Hurlbut and Mr. Jas. Craig. Besides these, great credit is due to others who did yeoman service in the, at first, up-hill work. Amongst them are to be mentioned especially, Mr. T. P. Lukens, Mr. S. Washburn, Mr. ·H. N. Rust, and the Librarian, Mrs. S. E. Merritt. This lady has proved a zealous and loving friend of the library and has done a great deal to make the institution useful, with dramatic and other ·entertainments to make it self-sustaining. The library trustees have been prominent in organizing movments for the benefit of Pasadena. The most successful of these efforts have been the citrus fairs. These have attracted many distinguished persons to the town and advanced the interests of the producers of fruits. The present office~ are: Abbott Kinney, president; L. H. Winston, vice-president; Dr. W. F. Channing, treasurer; O. S. Picber, Byard T. Smith, .... N. Rust, directors ; Mrs. S. E. Merritt, secretary. na. RAIlSBAUGH. J. M. Radsbaugh, M.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DIRE(7I'()RY. 68 • I A NEW' ENTERPRISE IN PASADENA.. • The Los Angeles Hotel property, formerly qwned by Mr. Isaac Banta, ~ has been recently purchased by a syndicate composed of the following C well known gentlemen and capitalists: Mr. G. H. Bonebrake, of Los I Angeles; Mr. P. M. Green, President of Pasadel:!a Bank i and Messrs. H. G. Bennett, C. S. Martin, E., F. Martin, R. Williams and A. O. Porter, all of Pasadena. The property consists of the beautiful corner fronting 363 feet on Colorado street by 293)4' feet on Fair Oaks avenue, and the hotel building and all other improvements thereon. The present hotel structure will be movp.d off these premises to tht;: corner of Colorado and DeLacy streets, upon a lot fronting 120 feet on Colorado street, now owned by the syndicate and Mr. David Eavey, of Pasadena, and will be at once extensively enlarged, beautified and improved by the syndicate and Mr. Eavey, and made what Pasadena has so long needed, a first class hotel building in every particular. The land purchased by the syndicate, 363 feet on Colorado street by 293~ feet on Fair Oaks avenue, has been platted into lots and wi ll be at once improved in the most substantial manner. The corner fro nting 45 feet on Colorado street by 120 on Fair Oaks avenue has ' been retained by the Pasadena Bank, upon which they will immediately erect, from plans already drawb o and adopted, an elegant and costly three story structure, to be con- I structed of brick, stone and iron, and abSOlutely fire proof in material and construction, to be provided with safety deposit vaults, burglar proof safes, time locks, and all other first class modern bank furnishings. The corner room, 22)4 feet on Colorado street by 70 feet on Fair Oaks avenue, will be occupied by the Pasadena Bank, re-organized into a National I Bank, and henceforth known as the ff First National Bank of Pasadena." The remaining 22J4 feet of the block will be finished into an elegant I store room 70 feet in depth. On Fair Oaks avenue will be two stores, each 22)4 feet in width and 45 feet deep. The second stpry will be finished into elegant offices and supplied with all modem conveniences. The third floor will be finished into beautiful suites of rooms for rent. Adjoining this block on the west, fronting 50 feet on Colorado street, Mr. C. S. Martin will erect a block 50 feet in width by 120 feet in depth, I to contain two fine stores on the ground floor, the second floor to be finished into offices, and the third into rooms , and suites. This block will also be fire proof and first class in every particular. Negotiations are pending for the erection of still another addition to this elegant block, on the 50 feet front on Colorado str~et, adjoining tJIe building of Mr. C. S. Martin on the west, to correspond in style and permanency with the other portions of the block. This, completed, will make a solid block ISO feet front on Colorado street by 120 feet front on Fair Oaks avenue, an<:1 will not only reflect great credit on the enterprisfC of the gentlemen who comprise th~ syndicate, and an ornament to the "LOS ANGELES (J()UNTY DIRECTORY. , I ------------------------------- I young city, but-'tts ere~on is· the master stroke which servers th~ last line of uncertainty, and opens up the future of Pasadena for a sure and .f rapid' march to prosperity. • The balance of this property, being as it is the chOicest location in ' i the central business portion of Pasadena, is already a bone of contention I between s veralnoted capitalists for ownership, and will soon be perma- J nently improved. This property is not only the key to the business heart 'of Pasadena, but its present improvement is so substantial a manner, unlocks to her a golden future, and insures stability, prosperity and a rapid growth beyond the present conception of even the most sanguin.e. SAN PEDRO LUMaER YARD. There is probably no fact which more conclusively demonstrat~ the prosperity and rapid growth of Pasadena than that the sales of the San Pedro Lumber Company. in that place, aggregated 343,<XX> feet for the month of March. J886, and will exceed that amount during the month, of April. This does not include lime, p~aster, cement, sash, doors, blinds, and mill work, which have been sold in corresponding am0unts. The yard of this Company in Pasadena cuts no small figure in either the present or prospective business interests 9f this rapidly growing young city, although it is but comparatively a small branch of the great plant of the San Pedro Company in Southern California, yet some con-ception of the immense stock carried by them even here may be formed from the fact, that probably no yard in the City of Los Angeles ever carries it larger stock of se3;Soned lumber than may be found in the dry sheds of this Company at P~dena. The Company is not only a dealer in, but also a manufacturer of. lumberl and its.yards are stocked with everything known to the trade. So rapidly has its business increased in Pasadena in the past few months i, that increased facilities are being added for handling its large shiptnents , of stock i side tracks are to be extended throughout the entire length of th~ yard, so that cars may be run directly, to the piles and warehouses for loading and unloading without extra handling of stock or use of teams. The yard already employs eleven men, and has four teams in constant lot use for delivery. , Their immense stock cvomprises all kinds and grades of Ipmber, from L cheapest common to the finest qualities of thoroughly seasoned finishing, also sash, doors, blinds, screens, lath, pickets, shingle and fence posts, and ·a f~lI line of lime, plaster and cement may always be found in their warehouses. The yard is under the management of Captain A. Wakely, : so well and favorably known in Pasadena that comment would be superI• fluou-s, who is ever on hand with his years of experience in this line to I aid in .tbe filling of orders for his customers. •• Satisfaction guaranteed" is not only the motto of the . Company, but it is s~ped upon-the very ) face of Capt, Wakely in all of his dealings. It is his way of doing busi; ness; he cannot help it. Give him a call and get his prices. ,~----------------- ._--- .-------.-. LOS ANGELES COUNTY DIRECTORY. 65 KINNELOA. It is frequently unpleasant for a man of refinement, culture and wealth to see his name brought prominently before the world, even ;I .. if all that. can be said of him is praiseworthy. In the following sketch ;- of one of the most beautiful ,homes of Southern California the aim -: has not been to glorify the proprietor or to describe his fine residence C or exquisitely cultivated grounds so that men of wealth may be at~ tracted hither as purchasers, for we are authorized to say emphati- • cally that the place is 'Wt for sale. But the object of this article is ~~ simply to call attention to the 2~ POSSIBILITIES OF !MPROVEMENT t:: Q in the value of property in Los Angeles county. It is safe to say th e re "D- are to·day scores, if not hundreds, of opportunities to build up a magnifi- ...: § cent home and at the same time secure an ample and abU)1dant income, t:I ~ ,just as pro~ising and equally inviting as were the grounds of Kinneloa t:t: D in 1880, when MR. ABBOTT KINNEY first set foot upon the then unculti- <: ~ vated, uninviting hilly piece of brush land, now the home of that gentle- ~ ::> man and his amiable young wife, the daughter of our able and distin- tz: guished Judge Thornton of the supreme bench of Ca lifornia~ ~ 3 True, there may be but few places in the ma rket with an outlook as t-: ~ grand as that presented from the observatory on the mansion of Mr. t' o Kinney, and indeed we ques tion whether in all the country there is its ~ D equal in this respect. Let us take a survey of the country, and as the ~ ~ . t: .-.I. day is clear we need no g lass, everything being visible to the naked· eye, _ altbough some of the more distant scenery is improved by one of the ex- t :) cellent glasses at hand in the observatory. Looking in the rear of the c: house, and distant about a mile, are the everlasting hilis, not blanched ~ e and barren like the mountains in the northern part of the State, but cov- -..", S ered with wood and brush and clad in perpetual verdure. There. as if ~ .q 3 chiseled in the so lid rock, is an enormous cross, formed by two fissures !:;i ~ in the mountain side, but standing so plainly visible at all times .that t: ~ to the evil·doer- if it were possible to find one in such a paradise as this-it must be a continual reproof, while to many of Mr. Kinney's ~ ;:;) laborers it is a constant and happy reminder of the beautiful emblem '0 ~ of their faith. ~ ~ Turning now to the west, our view is much more extended. There :: ~ is the beautiful valley of the Canada, with its clusters of wild oaks and ::= ... sycamore trees scattered here and th e re. That high mountain yonder .... is the San Francisco , and these the Verdugo mountains. There, tradi- t: ~ tion says, ri sing from the bed of the Arroyo Seco is tbe trail followed. ~ ... by the Pathfinder-John C. Fremont-as he ascended the Verdugo ~ foothills. And there lies the quie t, but beautiful ' town of Pasadena- ~ ~ the H Key " or "Crown" of the valley. ; ::. And now turn yonr eyes a little southerly and you take in at one I: ~ grand view the mighty, ever surging, ever lovely ocean. From our • ~ stand-point we can see a hundred miles of the coast line of the Pacific, c .. with its islands and its bays; its long black streaks of smoke as they 66 LOS ANGELES COUNTY DIRECTORY . .. leave the ocean steamers; and the white winged dipper ship as, with all sail set. she proudly ploughs her invisible furrow either to or from the Golden Gate. That cluster of houses yonder is Santa Monica. We can see it all : exc,Ppt the pretty women and the beautiful children sporting in the I surf. There is Wilmington, with the San Francisco steamships lying at the docks. Yonder large building is the Long Beach Hotel, the very paradise of the eastern tourist; and there San Pedro j and there the San Clemente islands, from 90 to 100 miles distant. Then tnrning eastward we see the famous Santa Ana valley, Puente Hills and the grand old San Jacinto, with his cap of eternal snow resting down upon his brow like a coronet. Returning home the eye takes in a most exquisite picture of all the charming fields tinted with ) the many·hued wild flowers; and the rich green of the orange ~ove ladened with luscious golden fruit-all that the goodness of a Bouoti· ful Creator, supplemented by the w~alth and ingenuity of man, de· vise to please the eye, gratify the ' taste, and make men happy, lies spread out like a bouquet before us in the world·renowned San Gabriel valley. There are many notable places before us, old and new. The most striking, perhaps, is this immense pile of buildings on yonder hill, resembling some immense palace of the old world, with all its surroundings and magnificence; this is the Raymond Hotel, most elegant and costly structure of its kind in Southern California. To the left Of this you see the Mission of San Gabriel , the old Chur•c h built in 1804. a perfect curiosity to the traveler. And this close by is the famous Sierra Madre Villa, only a mile to the east. As each of these inter~ting features is noti,ced in another part of the book we pass them without fur· ther remark here. Surely with such a lancscape the dwellers at Kinneloa can never grow weary nor tired of so lovely a home. What we have said thus far effects no particl,llar credit upon the enterprising proprietor of Kinneloa, except in the happy foresight manifested in the selection of so grand a site for his home. But were we to tell of Mr. Kinney's vast improvements, and of his original plans for accomplishing what would seem to other men impossibilities, a book might be written ins~ead of a brief article like the present. We can only to~ch on a few of the more important points of beauty and worth that we find spread out before us at Kinneloa. For instance: Its flower-covered hills; more magnificent than the most artistic rockeries that the skill of man ever devised . Its cultivated canons, ,that make one dizzy as he gazes down their almost perpendicular sides to admire the blossom of the peach, the apple, or the pear, or to feast upon the fragrance from the orange and lemon that farely oppress the air with their perfume. Its trellised harbors luxuriant with all the climbers that thrive and blossom here i and its thousand-hued roses that lend their fragrance to perfect the harmony and adorn the home. • \1.1:1..1 V~ .I..n..L' Lt.J, ............ --0--· --" LOS ANGELES COUNTY DIREm'ORY. 67 I Its magnificent orchard and vineyard stretching out far into the val. 1 ley below, so clean, so systematically laid out, so thoroughly irrigated in ~ every pa,·t that with the walks and drives, its ditches and' reservoirs it looks like a beautiful picture hung up before the eye more than an every· f day farm from which not only plei?sure but profit as wen was to be de· ~ rived by its owner. ~ The farm contains 3,500 orange trees of the choicest kinds; sao :> lemons, 2,000 apricots, 30 acres of grapes, mostly seedless Sultannas, • of. 100 acres of hay and a multitude of the chuicest nuts, plants, sWubs and small fruits from every clime that will consent to make their home in ~ Southem California. A peculiarity of Mr. Kinney's management being d that he has his crops so arranged that with very little cbange he employs ~ the same amount of help the year round. He. has no Chinese, having ~ years ago decided against employing them; he has-even sometimes at great pecuniary loss-steadily refused to have them on his farm or around ~ his house. He pays his help the usual current wages and in addition -t sets aside ten per cent. of his net income to be divided among them, .~ giving five per cent. to his foreman and the other five to his hands. :3 There is only one feature more and we have done our imperfect de· scription of Kinneloa-that is its system of e WATER WORKS. e In order to give our readers even an imperfect idea we must take ~ them back to the foothills, abrupt and full of caftons. It will be remem· ~ bered that to every canon there are two bottoms ; the upper one is for.med tby the debris from the s urrounding hills, and con~ sts of rock, sand and c: soil; the other, which is the real bottom, is usually a V shape, and is of :E solid rock, through which no water can pass. At enormous expense Mr. ., Kinney has tunneled under these rock bottoms, in some cases a thousand ::: feet into the solid rock a few feet below the bottom, then bored from the a'" bottom into the tunnels, and thus caught all the seepage of the mountains. 9 From these tunnels the water is conveyed by 5-inch iron pipe to his res· ervoirs and distributed thence all over ·his farm, giving a great ~bundance E of water for every purpose all the year. This device was the original ~ cpnception of Mr. Kinney, and its grand success and scientific execution ~ stamps the proprietor of Kinneloa as an engineer of no mean capacity. , From his reservoirs to the remotest corner of his farm, instead of ( ( ditches 'and gates, another invention has been made-namely, a concrete , ditch of an exactly even size has been constructed for the water and a S gate made lined with rubber; that being placed at any point in this can· crete ditch throws the water out through a small gateway on either ·side, ~ as desired, and thus the trouble and expense of gates all over the place is " done away with and the advantage of a gate wherever it is needed is secured. Though comparati vely a new place, Kinneloa is widely known. Its owner is a !.iterary gentleman of some note. He takes a lively interest in all that tends to the advancement of Southern California, the land of his adoption, of which he is a great admirer. ..,e has among other enter- . ____ , . .., . "'" __ .. .., _v_ ...... __ _... 68 WS ANGELES COUNTY DIRECTORY,_ /' .. prises of which. he is too modest ever to speak, ffl,unded the Pasadena I public library, an institution of which he may well be proud. (See an article elsewhere on that subject.) He has taken some five or six hundred acres of I ~nd. most of which was rejected land when the surrounding country was taken up by settlers, no one daring to attack its brush-covered hills, its precipitous cliffs and barren slopes to which it seemed impossible to lead the water. A small part of the land cost Mr. Kinney ten dollars per acre, the whole but a few hundred dollars, and now but six years have passed and what a change! Mr. Lorenz Rodenhaver. the very intelligent, ingenious and ge nt1~manly foreman of Mr. Kinney's small army oflaborers, informed the writer that this year the products of the place gave to the owner a handsome income above all expenses, rtnd that a hundred thousand-dollars had been refused for the property. Visitors to the San Gabriel valley will be interested to note the beau- . ties of this charming spot before they leave, resting assured of a courteous receptioa by the host and hostess ,of Kinneloa. The house is an elegant structure built in the old fashioned, plain and roomy style, and surmounted by an observatory in which are located a full set of regulation signal service in struments and every other appliance to serve the scient ific taste of the owner and the convenience of the visitor. As the view from this observatory is extens ive, so the house can be seen from all parts of the valley nestling in among its semi-tropic surroundings on an eminence nearly a mile to the east of the Sierra Madre Villa, and adjoin-ing that property. . We close this article as we began it, by poi.l1ting out the possibilities of Southern California. In what other part of the world could so refractory and apparently worthless a piece of la nd have been taken and, 'even with the outlay of great capital and labor, caused in the short period of six years to assume such a changed form and increase in value as this place has done? We say. emphatically, NOWHERE and in no part of California could it be done so readily as in the San Gabriel valley. WALLACE BROTHERS.

This .is only one of the many branches-llbf this great and wealthy firm in Southern California. Represented .as they are in every place of impo rtance in the southern part of the State, the name of the firm has become familiar as a household word. With an enviable reputation and standing as business men, with capital enabling them to avail themselves of every advantage to be taken in contracting, purchasing and manufacturing, with e very facility for supplying on shortest notice every want of the public in every department of their 'trade. the location of a Branch Office and Yard by them in Pasadena, is not only another mark of the untiring energy, push a nd enterprise of the firm, but a source of g ratification and pride to the city and country found about. Probably no more auspicious opening for a lumber yard carrying a stock first class in every department, presen, ted itself in the'State, than this one in the rapidly developing valley of San Gabriel; and with a business eye, and fC an eye tb business," the Kerckhoff·Cuzne r Mill and Lumber Company have established a yard carrying a full line in every department of their immense stock, The firm have recently erected a fine brick building on Colorado street, immediately adjoining the depot on the easl, and their immense yards, side tracks, sheds for dry lumber and warehouses for sash, doors, blinds and mill work, extend back arong the ra ilway to the north. Here may be obtained every kind and quality of lumber known to the trade in the State. Oregon pine for frames, a select ,stock of redwood for finishing, all classes of thoroughly seasoned finishing lumber, flooring, ceiling, s iding, lath, shing les, etc. Every variety and st yle of modern doors and windows; ali styles and sizes of sash, glazed and ungla~ed; store fronts, window blinds, etc. All kinds of Eastern hard woods for fini shing pur-t poses are kept constantly on hand, and the firm hold themselves to furnish anything in their line which the need of the community may require, o r taste or fancy dictate. The large Planing Mills and Sash, Door and Blind Factory of the firm is located, with the main office and yard; at Los Angeles. Telephone connection with this factory and the Pasadena office insure quick and accurate transmission of all orders for mill work and other needed supplies, and the facilities of the S. G. V. R.

The large amount of lumber and fre ight shipped by this company annually give to them a prestige on freight rates which smaller concerns can not possibly acquire, enabling them to undersell all competitors and still make a living profit on their business.

The representation of this beautiful hotel, with a good description of the hotel and grounds, will be found on page 112, Part I, of this book, I and we shall add nothir\g more in refe rence thereto except it be to reproI I duce 8 paragraph from a recently publi shed work on Southern California. I In speaking of the view from the Sierra Madre Villa the writer says: I H The eye sweeps a vast expanse of mountain and valley, bounded I by lofty San Jacinto, eighty miles to the east, and the foothills of the coast I) on the west and south. Nearly a thousand feet below lies the broad San Gabriel Valley in its charming :oveliness. Six miles to the west are seen the cozy "homes and thrifty orchards of "The Crown of the Valley," Pasadena, which looks in the clear morning sunlight but a mile or two away. Farther to the south is the Alhambra, lovely enough to inspire the pen of another Irving. Joining it is San Gabriel , with its queer old foreign -looking Spanish str,eet, at the end of which is the historic Mission Church in full view. Directly south are Savannah and the fertile fields of EI ~onte. To the southeast are seen Duarte and Azusa, while the eye can almost define the location of the broad Euclid Avenue of the youthful Ontario twenty miles beyond. At our feet is princely Santa Anita, while its white buildings embowered in orchards and surrounded by vineyards and evergreen fields, with its long avenues of palms and ornamental trees, and its thousands of acres of oaks.

-AN Eastern gentleman of culture recently took the early morning ,t
train from Los Angeles for Pasadena, and upon his return in.the evening
was asked by the writer what he thbught of the place. He replied that I
he thought it by far the most beautiful spot he had ever seen. And, said
he, I< I have traveled throughout Italy. France, England and most 0 •
: Europe, out there is nothing liRe this Paradise anywhere. Here is Feb- J
ruary and the !lir is loaded with most delicious fragrance from the orange t
groves, and the prufusion of-rare flowers and blossoming shrubbery that c
fill 'every garden, and spring spontaneously from -every field and vacant l
lot. They seem to transport the beholder to some land where the curse •
put upon the rece in Eden had not even been heard of." I
We have not space, neither is it the province 'of this article to" write •
up" Pasadena as it ought to be written up. We will content ourselves t
by a few general remarks i and first we give an extract from the able pen t
o. fGeorge 'McK. Bancroft. He sa"ys, in his article, .. First Impressions of
Pasadena" ;
II He looks again at its beautiful location, its broad avenues and ...
intersecting streets. lined with miles of the hedge of the green cypress ,!
and lime, trimmed in a variety of shapes and with mechanical exactness. ..
Then comes to view ·the willow-shaped pepper with its large, spreading, J
bushy top, and its companion, the eucalyptus, tall and of rapid growth.
These avenues, streets apd evergreen shades are not the whole of Pasa~ ~
depa. The stree~ are at right angel~ w!th the avenues, and form.blocks ~
or lots, originally of ten acres. These have been. divided, subdivided 'or ~
united, so that at present they vary from a building lot fifty by one, hun- tdred
feet to twenty acres . . They are covered ,with the orange, lemon, '~
lime, and deciduQus fruit .trees from nine years old in full beariog down
to one year's. setting: The most of this vegetation is evergreen,. and 4
gives to the place an asPect oC perpetual verdure. . -" -: ~~' - t • ...-..;v;aoua~---g .... ...,4: • .: • . ~;a... .\7 ... ~.~ fa .' ,s"...: ~v~..-u.l.vJ."_P' · . - ~ . . O · . . , . , ' • I 18· LOS ANGELES OOUNTY. DIRECTORY. . •
