improved and planted with citrus and deciduous fruits. He is also owner of some of the best business property in Pomona. In addition to Mr. Ruth's labors in the ministry, he has been an earnest worker in building up Pomona and supporting enterprises tending to advance the welfare of the community in which he resides. Ilis consistent and earnest life and genial man- ner have gained him the respect of all, and the love and esteem of a large circle of friends.

In 1840 he married Miss Sarah W. Cannon, a native of Delaware, who died in 1849, leaving four children: Theodore, who married Miss Margaret Faris, and is now a resident of Po- mona; Fondelia, now the wife of Franklin W. Griswold, and living in Worthington, Ohio; Albert, a resident of Knoxville, Tennessee, and Ellen Beswick, wife, first of Rev. James Walker, afterward of Samuel Keiser, and died in Indiana. In 1850 Mr. Ruth married Miss Sarah A. Henry, a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She died in 1866. No children were born from that marriage. In 1867 Mr. Ruth contracted his third marriage, by uniting with Miss Julia M. Charnock, a native of England. By this marriage there are two children living: Anna Frances and Constance Evelyn, both now at school at the " Irving Institute," San Francisco.

First Presbyterian Church of Pomonu, Cal- ifornia, consisting of fourteen persons, was or- ganized May 2, 1883, by Rev. Thomas Fraser, assisted by Revs. Oliver C. Weller and B. B. Bonham. The following have been officers: Pastors - Rev. O. C. Weller, from May 2, 1883, to June 29, 1884; L. P. Crawford, from December 5, 1884, to April 2, 1886; J. Rice Bowman, D.

Under Rev. William II. Clagett, who held revival services, assisted by the singer, E. C. Avis, in the winter of 1888-'89, fifty-one per- sons nnited with the church. The whole unm- ber of members at this time is 151. Their house of worship is a handsome structure on the corner of Garey avenne and Third street. The first building was crected here in 1885, at a cost of abont $3,000, and in 1888 an addition of equal cost was made. Total scating capacity, about 500. Besides, there is a wing in which minor meetings are held.

The First Presbyterian Church of La Verne, California, was organized July 1, 1888, by the Presbyterial committee appointed for the pur- pose; namely, Rev. J. Rice Bowman, D. D., Pastor of Pomona, California, Presbyterian Church, and Rev. F. D. Seward, Synodical Mis- sionary. The church consisted of eleven mem- bers, who elected as Elders: J. F. Cumberland, B. B. Brown, Elias Finck and A. H. Pogne; and as Deacon, Engene J. McFadden. Dr. Bowman was chosen pastor, to serve in con- nection with his Pomona pastorate.

Pilgrim Congregational Church .- When the Presbyterian church was organized here, the question was debated whether to have a Presby- terian or Congregational church polity., There were more Congregationalists than Presbyte- rians; but the latter, being able to secure more money from outside, carried their point. Both denominations, however, worked together in harmony. There was an understanding that the Congregationalists should occupy Ontario until growth should justify another church, and the Presbyterians Pomona.

May 26, 1887, under the ministration of Rev. C. B. Sumner, the Congregationalists or-

ganized in Pomona, with thirty-six names. Dr. I. M. Case, Rev. C. B. Sheldon and J. C. Gar- lick were chosen Deacons, and E. T. Palmer, Clerk. A chapel, on the corner of Third and Thomas streets, was completed the next fall, being occupied for the first time on Thanks- giving eve, by a prayer-meeting. Seating capacity, 250. Cust, $4,600.

In May, 1888, Rev. Sumner resigned as pas- tor, in order to devote his time to the interests of Pomona College, noticed in the next para- graph. He was sneceeded by Rev. L. II. Frary, formerly of Weymouth, Massachusetts, who is the present pastor. The membership numbers now abont 180, and the church is filled at regu- lar services to its utmost capacity. Seating capacity, about 300. The Deacons are: L. T. Bishop, J. D. Garlick and I. N. Case; Sunday- school Superintendent, E. P. Shaw, an extraor- dinarily snecessful man. The attendance at the school is abont 140.

Pomona College is a new institution of great promise. The main building, now in process of erection, is on the Piedmont mesa, a bean- tiful site a mile from the railroad at North Pomona, commanding an extended view of the valleys of San Gabriel, Pomona and San Ber- nardino. The cost of this building will be abont $40,000. But the school has been already commenced (in 1888) in the Claremont Hotel, a fine building donated permanently to the enter- prise. A large grant of land adjoining has also been made. This building is known as Claremont Hall. Claremont is a village a mile distant from the college campus. The attend- ance last term numbered fifty pupils, and there are about seventy the present term (autumn of 1889), with promise of more.

In the summer of 1887, a committee of the General Association of California (Congrega- tional Church), established this college here, with the proviso that a majority of the board of trustees should be members of the Congre- gational Church, but free from ecclesiastical control in the management of the college, which is to be "thoroughly evangelical and

earnestly evangelistic," but of course not sec- tarian. The present board of trustees are: H. A. Palmer, of Berkeley, President; H. K. W. Bent, Pasadena; Revs. A. J. Wells, R. G. Hutchins, D. D., and J. T. Ford, and H. W. Mills, Los Angeles; N. W. Blanchard, Santa Panla; Rev. C. W. Weitzel, Santa Bárbara; Rev. J. H. Howard, D. D., Santa Ana; Rev. G. W. Marston, San Diego; Rev. T. C. Hunt, Riverside; Revs. C. B. Sumner and C. B. Shel- don, Pomona; Rev. J. K. McLean, D. D., Oak- land; and A. S. McPherron, Lngonia.

The faculty are: Rev. E. C. Norton, M. A., Principal of Preparatory Department and Teacher of Greek; F. P. Brackett, B. A., Teacher of Mathematics and Latin; Theodore S. Palmer, B. A., Teacher of Science and Latin; Miss Estelle P. Spalding, B. L., Teacher of English Literature, History, and Modern Languages; Mrs. Mary Caldwell Smith, Teacher of Piano, Harmony and Theory; Miss Stella I. Fitch, Teacher of Vocal Culture, Piano and Organ; F. P. Brackett, B. A., Director of the Choral Union.

The First Baptist Church of Pomona was organized in 1871, by Rev. R. C. Fryer, in Spadra school-house, with only twelve souls. Under his pastorate the membership increased to thirty. Rev. J. B. Tombes, D. D., succeeded Mr. Fryer, but after a time resigned. In 1883 Rev. Mr. Latourette, missionary of the Los Angeles Baptist Association, was sent to Po- mona, to organize a Baptist church. By his advice the Spadra people agreed to have their place of worship changed to Pomona, which was done October 3, 1883, and the name changed to its present form. They then held regular services in an old house on Fourth street, Mr. Latonrette acting as pastor. In a few weeks a commodious house of worship was erected on the corner of Ellen and Fourth streets.

Rev. J. F. Moody became pastor in Angust, 1884, when the membership numbered forty- eight. It has since increased to abont 150. Rev. Mr. Bennett is the present pastor.

The Christian Church .- In 1883 a half dozen

persons of this denomination commenced hold- ing meetings in the second story of a building provided by W. E. Martin. A few months later the court-room of Judge Joseph Wright afforded hospitable Sunday accommodations for their increasing numbers. A honse of worship at the corner of Gordon and Center streets, was erected in 1884-'86, at an expense of $3,000, and was occupied from the time it was enclosed in 1884. The Elders are, W. E. Martin and Prof. W. T. Tibbs. There are about 125 members at the present time. Prof. W. T. Tibbs occupied the pulpit from the first until the fall of 1888, when he was succeeded by Elder Pennington for a short time. There is no regnlar pastor now.

The Methodist Episcopal Church .- In Feb- ruary, 1876, Rev. M. M. Bovard preached at the railroad station-the first sermon ever preached in Pomona by a Methodist minister. There was occasional Methodist preaching until May, 1877, when Rev. A. M. Hough, Presiding Elder of Los Angeles District, organized the church, with seven members. In July following a small church was built on the corner of Third and Gordon streets, in which worship was conducted until September 30, 1883, when the edifice was dedicated free from debt, having been erected and furnished at a cost of $2,250.

In November, the same year, a small parson- age at the rear of the church was built at an expense of about $600. Additions have since been made. An addition 16 x 28 feet was also made to the church edifice, making the total seating capacity 280. But since the advent of Rev. J. W. Phelps in September, 1888, a large addition has been made, sixty feet square, making the total seating capacity about 1,000. The cost of this addition was abont $10,000. It has a raised floor, with a semi-circular ar- rangement of opera chairs, and an imposing spire. Under Mr. Phelps's ministry there has also been a wonderful addition to the member- ship; during the eleven weeks of protracted meetings held in 1888-'89 there were about 300 conversions, resulting in an increase of 175 to the membership of his church and of large

numbers to others in the city. A big fire in a city leaps over across the streets. A flood fills bayous as well as the main channel. The total number of members now is 397.

The pastors, since organization, have been, connting by Conference years from September to September: Isaac M. Leighy, 1877-'78; I. R. Conlee, 1878-'79; B. A. Washburn, 1879-'80; J.D. Crum, 1880-'82; R. M. Kirkland, 1882-'83; F. D. Mather, 1883-'85; W.W. Bailey,1885-'86; S. A. Thomson, 1887-'88; J. W. Phelps, 1888 to the present.

The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was organized first in 1882, but " went down." In the spring of 1887 it was reorganized, with eighteen members, and for a year worshiped in the Univeralist church. A neat edifice of their own has just been completed on the northeast corner of Fifth and Ellen streets, size 28 x 48 feet, and cost about $2,000, besides the lot, which cost abont $1,500. During the first year of the present organization Rev. H. H. Heimer was pastor; the present preacher in charge is Rev. Cason, and the membership twenty to twenty-five. Josiah Gregg is class-leader. A Sunday school is maintained.

Of this denomination there are also a church and society at Azusa, of which Mr. Cason is also pastor.

The African Methodist Episcopal Church, organized in 1888, is flourishing.

The German Lutheran Church is also repre- sented in Pomona by a society, of which Rev. J. A. Schilling is pastor.

The Unitarian Church in Pomona was or- ganized in the spring of 1888, by Rev. Oscar Clnte, from Iowa City. In May, 1889, he ac- cepted the presidency of his alma mater, the State Agricultural College of Michigan, after which time the society was without a regular minister, until recently, when Rev. E. C. L. Browne, from Charleston, South Carolina, ac- cepted the place. This society, numbering now about thirty members, worship in the Opera House. Mrs. Miles is superintendent of the Sunday-school.

The First Universalist Society of Pomona was formed in May, 1884, and at their request Rev. G. H. Deere, of Riverside, organized a parish here of seventeen members. Until July meetings were held in the house of one of the members, and from that time until January in Bates's Hall. Their church on Fourth street was dedicated in Jannary, 1886, by Rev. Deere. The first pastor of the society was Rev. E. C. Miles, formerly a Congregational minister, who served until July, 1885. February 28, 1886, Rev. C. E. Churchill began preaching here.

Holiness Church .- December 3, 1882, a band of seven members was organized in Pomona. They erected a house of worship, 24 x 30 feet in size, on Parcells street, near Second, which was completed in November, 1883. But the church was formally organized July 19, 1884, which has since grown to a membership of about thirty. The ministers liave been: L. Par- ker, George Quinan and G. V. D. Brand.

This new denomination emphasizes the doc- trine that entire freedom from a sinful nature or condition, called "holiness," "entire sanctifi- cation," "perfect love," "perfection," etc., is always subsequent to "justification," at the time of conversion, at the first repentance, and of course that it is absolutely essential to the Christian character and to final salvation in heaven after death. Quaker-like, they eschew all worldly show, the ornamentation of churches, the wearing of jewelry and gorgeous dress, in- strumental music in the church, choir singing, rented pews, the use of tobacco and intoxicating liquors, jesting and light conversation, civil liti- gation with one another, etc. Indeed, total ab- stinence from all these things is a condition of membership.

Of this denomination in Los Angeles County, there are societies at Los Angeles, tabernacle on Fourth street, between Spring and Fort; East Los Angeles, tabernacle on Patrick street, near Sichel street; Garvanza, tabernacle on Ruby street, between Fair Oaks and Mountain ave- nues; Pasadena, 90 and 92 South Fair Oaks avenue; Downey, East Second street; Norwalk,

half a mile southeast of town; Aznsa, fourth of a mile southwest of postoffice; Monrovia, Ivy avenue, between Orange and Olive; El Monte, near depot; Cerritos, near Wilmington.

The Young Men's Christian Association was organized Jannary 21, 1884. The first officers were: Dr. C. W. Brown, President; J. W. Henderson, First Vice-President; D. Holla- day, Second Vice-President; Frank E. Reeves, General Secretary, and J. A. Drittill, Treasurer. Dr. Brown is still president. A reading-room and employment office is maintained.

SOCIETIES.

F. & A. M .- A call for a meeting of those interested in the formation of a lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in Pomona was made early iu the month of February, 1887. The meeting was held at the residence of James H. Egan, and the following officers were duly in- stalled on Jannary 25: 1878: W. T. Martin, Worshipful Master; L. D. Conner, Senior War- den; J. H. Egan, Junior Warden; T. Mercer, Senior Deacon; J. B. Parker, Junior Deacon; Charles Weile, Treasurer; J. Schlesinger, Secre- tary; J. J. Jester, Tyler; John Whyte, Steward. The installation ceremonies were performed by Brother R. C. Fryer, P. M., of Lexington Lodge, El Monte.

At the time of the installation there were but ten members. At present the society is known as Pomona Lodge, No. 246, F. & A. M.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was organized the 30th of May, 1876, with the following officers: N. G., I. Eno; V. G., J. E. McComas; Secretary, George C. Egan; Treas- urer, Lonis Phillips.

Knights of Pythius .-- This society was or- ganized the 30th of August, 1884, through the combined efforts of Past Chancellors De Camp, of Los Angeles, and Schumacher, of Sedalia, Missouri. It is known as ÆEtua Lodge. and started ont with a charter membership of twenty- five, and soon had some of the best and most influential citizens among them. Since its foundation the lodge has been, aud is now, in a

SAN PEDRO, etc.

CHAPTER XXI.

SAN PEDRO

TS the principal harbor of the county. It

was often lively in 1840-and had been so in Mission times-by the trading vessels engaged, with active competition, in the pur- chase of hides and tallow. Francis Mellus gives a list of those on this coast, August 22 of that year, thirteen in number, as follows: " Ships-California (Captain Arthur), Alciope (Clapp), Monsoon (Vincent), Alert (Phelps); Barques- Index (Scott), Clara (Walters); Her- maphrodite brigs-Leonidas (Stevens), Ayacncha (Dare); Brigs-Juan José (Dunkin), Bolivar (Nye); Schooners-Fly (Wilson), California (Cooper), Nymph, formerly Norse (Fitch), and two more expected." From 1844 to 1849 the merchants at Los Angeles City were: John Temple, Abel Stearns, Charles W. FIngge (found dead September 1, 1852, on the plains below this city), B. D. Wilson and Albert Pack- ard (Wilson & Packard), and Alexander Bell. To these add, in 1849, Antonio Cota, José An-

tonio Menendez, from Spain; Juan Domingo, Netherlands; José Mascarel, of Marseilles, an John Behn, of Grand Dutchy Baden. The last named came in 1848. He quit business in the fall of 1853, died December 6, 1868. Madame Salandie is to be added to those of 1849. She came on the same ship with Lorenzo Lecke from Pennsylvania in that year, started at once a little store, butcher shop, loaning money and

general speculation. Juan Domingo came to California in 1829, by way of Lima, married here, was quite noted, died December 20, 1858.

The first steamer that ever visited San Pedro was the Goldhunter, in 1849-a side-wheel, which made the voyage from San Francisco to Mazatlan, touching at way ports. The next was the old Ohio. At San Pedro, from 1844 to 1849, Temple & Alexander (D. W. Alexander) had the only general store, and they carried on all the forwarding business. The first four- wheel vehicle in this county, except an old- fashioned Spanish carriage belonging to the Mission priests, was a rockaway carriage which this firm bought of Captain Kane, Major Gra- ham's Quartermaster, in January, 1849, paying him $1,000 for the carriage and two American horses. It created a sensation like that of the first Wilmington railway car on the 26th day of October, 1868. Goods were forwarded to Los Angeles, twenty-four miles, in carts, each with two yoke of oxen, yoked by the horns. The regular train was of ten carts, like the Cali- fornia carretas. The body was the same, but they had spoked wheels tired, which were in- ported from Boston. Freight was $1.00 per hundred weight. This style of importation con- tinued until after 1850. The first stage line was started by Alexanders & Banning in 1852; the next by that man of iron, J. J. Tomlinson, whose death was early for the public good, June

7,1867. In 1851 D. W. Alexander purchased at Sacramento ten heavy freight wagons that had been sent in from Salt Lake by Ben Holli- day, and in 1853 a whole train, fourteen wagons and 168 mules, that had come through from Chihuahua, paying therefor $23,000. So ox- carts were supplanted.

San Pedro, so noted as a port under the former regime, since 1850 has been, until recently, the only outlet for our productions. Ox carts could not remain long after the management of trade fell into the hands of Douglass & Sanford, John Goller, J. J. Tomlinson, J. M. Griffith, A. W. Timms, A. F. Hinchman, Don Jose Rubio, David W. Alexander, Phineas Banning, all of whom have done so much to build up our com- merce. General Banning went there a young man. In 1851 was formed the firm of Alexan- der & Banning, commission and forwarding merchants. Subsequently for four years he con- ducted this business alone, marked by sagacity, foresight, and energy. In 1858 Old San Pedro was abandoned. Wilmington then became the real port for Los Angeles commerce. When he commenced, 500 tons would have been a fair average for the trips both ways per month. Now, there has been as high as 15,000 tons afloat at one time, to say nothing of the enor- inons amount of produce which the same vessels carried away on their departure. General Ban- ning had the opportunity to see the passengers ride from the port to Los Angeles City on Mexi- can ox-carts, with no iron in their construction, and has seen them at length make the trip on as fine railway cars as there are in the United States; and saw them increase from fifty persons per month to near 3,000. One may justly say, that no one of our citizens has contributed more of labor with perseverance, or more of business ability than he, to the accomplishment of this result.

In the year 1871, after several careful pre- liminary surveys, the United States Government ovimenced the work of improving Wilmington Harbor, which work has ever since been going steadily on; $425,000 have so far been appro-

priated for the breakwater and the clearing out of the bar. When work was commenced the bar had upon it only eighteen inches of water at low tide, and was only crossed by lighters which waited for the flood. There are now about nine- teen feet of water upon the bar at low tide. To the indefatigable exertions of General Phineas Banning, of Wilmington, is due, more than to the efforts of any other one man, the inangura- tion of this work.

In the explosion of the little steamer Ada Hancock, April 29, 1863, near Wilmington, among many lost were, of our merchants, William T. B. Sanford, Dr. Henry R. Miles, Loeb Schlessinger; with Captain Thomas Seeley, of steamer Senator, Captain J. S. Bryant, Fred Kerlin, Thomas Workman, the young Albert S. Johnston, son of General Albert Sidney Johns- ton. Miss Medora Hereford, sister -. n-law of Mr. B. D. Wilson, soon after died of injuries in this deplorable calamity.

The harbor has several picturesque peninsulas and high points of land stretching into the sea, and Dead Man's Island is the most conspicuous object in the bay. At the mouth of the harbor, beyond this island, riding safely at anchor, are vessels from various domestic and foreign ports, including one or more large steamships of the coast line, which ply regularly between San Francisco and San Diego.

Twenty miles ont is the great summer resort, Catalina Island, described in the first chapter.

Ever since the early settlement of California, San Pedro has been a commercial point of more or less importance. It is now second to none except San Francisco; for though the town itself is small, as compared with San Diego, it is the shipping and receiving point for the city of Los Angeles and the populons, rich and growing towns and rural districts surrounding it. Until 1873 the port was known as San Pedro, but in that year Congress decided that it should be called Wilmington, that town, located at the head of the inner bay, being the place where nearly all the business was done. In 1882 an act of Con- gress established the customs district of Wil-
