DIVISION SIX — BUSINESS. 429 



The lengthened spirals of her smoky fleece 

 Are tranquil curlings of the pipe of peace. 



And, lo ! her progress through a chosen land 

 Wakes smiling industry on every hand ! 

 The voice of Labor and the arts of Peace 

 Bid homes accumulate and wealth increase ; 

 And cities hasten in her path of fate 

 To swell the fortunes of a rising state. 



The Ivos Angeles Board of Trade — Maj. G. H. Bonebrake. 



The Influence of the Press in the Development of Los Angeles County 

 — J. D. Ivynch, Esq., editor Daily Herald. 



The Produce Exchange — Eugene Germain. 



The union of Pasadena and Eos Angeles — Col. H. H. Boyce, editor 

 Daily Express. 



The regular program .being completed, remarks were made by Hon. 

 R. F. Del Valle ; D. M. Berry, the father of the original colony from 

 which Pasadena has grown up ; Mrs. Jeanne C. Carr, and Gen. John Mans- 

 field." 



From this time on, there was regular train service between Pasadena 

 and Eos Angeles ; and the construction work continued eastward. On 

 November 7, 1885, the road was completed and train service commenced to 

 Eamanda Park, where the first Y was built on which to reverse engines. 

 Before this the engines had come up from Eos Angeles head foremost and 

 gone back with hind end foremost. At Eamanda the road took a rest 

 for several months and boomed the town by running excursions there ; and 

 it was not until a year later —November 5, 1886 — that it was completed to 

 Duarte. Right-of-way difficulties and other matters had caused delay. But 

 it was finally completed to San Dimas — or " Mud Springs," as it was then 

 called and marked on the maps — a total trackage of twenty-eight miles. 



Meanwhile another local company had been formed to build a road from 

 Barstow on the Atlantic and Pacific line, down through the Cajon pass to 

 San Bernardino, and thence westward to " Mud Springs," there joining the 

 S. G. V. road, and thus making a continuous line to Eos Angeles. It had 

 long been an open secret that these two local enterprises were in the interest 

 of the great Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe R. R. Co.. which was seeking 

 a through connection of its own to the Pacific coast. Up to this time the 

 Southern Pacific company had an autocratic monopoly of all transcontinental 

 traffic with Southern CaHfornia, and the Santa Fe company had to pay 

 track-rent for its trains or cars from Deming to Eos Angeles over the S. P. 

 line. But now the Santa Fe company had finally gained control of the 

 Atlantic and Pacific road from Albuquerque to Mohave ; and with these two 

 local lines in possession, it would have an unbroken trackage of its own 

 from Chicago to Eos Angeles. In pursuance of this great scheme the S. G. 

 V. road was sold to the Santa Fe company January i, 1887, and Mr. Jewett 

 remained in charge as manager for the new ownership until July i, 1887, 

 when he resigned — thus ending Pasadena's personal historic connection
