PREFACE
It was with great reluctance that we undertook the revision of the History of Orange County, which we helped to compile ten years ago, not because we believed in Oslerism or wished to enjoy our otium cum dignitate, but because of the magnitude of the undertaking and of our lack of special preparation, not having anticipated a recall to the work of writing history.
However, with the help of expert writers on special subjects, and from the Federal crop estimator, the state board of horticulture, the county and city officers, the secretaries of boards of trade, chambers of commerce, fruit exchanges and vegetable unions, patriotic and relief associations, the newspapers-especially the Santa Ana Register-and all other available sources of information, we have collected a large array of authentic facts about the county, its people, productions and resources. To all who have assisted in furnishing the data for this work we return our sincere thanks.
Since a county history can have but a limited sale and the initial expense of its preparation is just as great for a few hundred copies as for many thousand, it stands to reason that the price per copy for a small edition must be greater than that for a large one. This condition, coupled with the increased size of the book and the present high cost of labor and material, is a sufficient justification for the price charged for the second volume of the county history. To avoid loss through unsold copies, this book, like all works of similar character, is sold by subscription and only enough copies are printed to supply each subscriber with the number ordered by him. As a further consideration for the purchase price, a brief biog- raphy of each subscriber, who thus patriotically supports a history of his county, is published without extra charge. These biographical sketches are prepared by trained canvassers and writers of long experience in this kind of work, and add much value to the history in giving personal incidents, otherwise unavailable, and in showing to future generations something of the character of the pioneers who laid the foundations upon which the superstructure of this county was built.
As citizens of this favored county, we should forget our few privations and trifling discomforts and remember our many privileges and great blessings. For instance, when the mercury hovers round the freezing point, we should not worry over the possibility of some small loss from light frosts that occasionally nip the tenderest plants : but we should extend our sympathy to less favored sections of the country, where the thermometer goes as many degrees below zero as it stops here above in our coldest weather. Again, when the winter rains are slow in coming, don't let us fret about a dry year, remembering that, in the wettest winter within the last half century, the rains commenced January 28. 1884, and that since then a good rainy reason has occasionally begun even later in the year; also that the county passed through three dry years in succession, from 1897 to 1900, with comparatively little loss, and it is better equipped now with irrigating ditches and pumping plants than it was then. Furthermore, few of the present residents of the county remember the apprehension that was felt over the growing scarcity of fuel twenty-five or more years ago, when most of the available timber was stripped from the nearby mountains and coal was shipped in from Australia and New Mexico. However, before much loss was suffered. oil was discovered in the county about the year 1896, and from a small beginning the production of oil, gasoline and natural gas has become the largest asset of the county and exceeds that of the entire state of Pennsylvania at the present
time. Immediately following the discovery of oil in the county, electricity began to be applied to furnishing light, heat and power ; and now practically all the busi- ness houses and residences, in and about the cities and towns of Orange County, are provided with electricity, gas and oil for light, heat and power; with sewers for carrying off the waste matter and with water for all purposes.
In short, the more familiar do we become with the vast resources and diversi- fied products of this county, with the wise enterprise and good behavior of its citizens, the less do we find to criticise and the more to praise and rejoice over. Let us, therefore, one and all, appropriate and apply to our goodly heritage the advice of the Psalmist to the sons of Korah, in commending "the ornaments and privileges of the church," as follows:
"Walk about Zion, and go round about her ; tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following."
