FEBRUARY THE COVINA ARGUS Rowland Noted Figure of South in Olden Times By pTHEMAN STEVENS William Richard Bowland is dead. The present is considered the halcyon days of Los Angeles, but there are a few remaining contemporaries of "Billy" Bowland who know that, despite the great wealth now here, the immense profits being made, the myriad potent factors for and ease, the real golden days were in the olden times, the era when "Billy" Bowland gallantly made his conquering campaign with fortune-and progress. Mr. Eowland was born at Puente in 1846, the son of Don John and Dona Incarnaeion Marinez Bowland. On July 12, 1871, he married Dona Manuela, daughter of Don Isaac Williams of El Eancho del Chino Dona Jesus Villaneuva de Williams.

SURVIVED BY WIDOW His widow, and two daughters, Mrs. C. T. Toland and Mrs. E.

C. Moore and two grandchildren, William Bowland Moore and Helen Moore, survive him. Mr. Epwland's kindliness, sincerity of 'character and manly qualities gained him the distinction, always a sure sign of general esteem and respect, of known throughout California as "Billy" Bowland. This familiarity of a diminutive was in no way due to lack of dignity, for while invariably affable and companionable, there was always about him that dignity and poise that comes from ancestors of distinction.

In 1871 he was elected sheriff, the times theu making that a most -difficult and hazardous office. faced the perils of his position the calm courage of a grandee, and startled the whole state one day by capturing the most noted landit of that era, Tiburcio Vasquez, who had long ravaged the entire southern part of the state. SEEKS AND FINDS OIL Mr. Bowland was among the first, if not the first, to seek oil and find It. In 1885, with Burdette Chandler, he began boring on his estate of the Puente ranch and after several fruitless efforts, found oil, formed the Puento Oil company, probably the first successful Southern California corporation in that business.

Of polished manners, not voluble but a delightful comrade, "Billy" Bowland was a loved contemporary of Tom Rowan, "Wally" Estudillo, li. R. Bose, J. de Barth Shorb, and the other mighty men of his era. It was the custom in those days for the various manor lords to give fiestas.

On such occasions when Mr. Bow- Itofr lasted characteristic, "Billy" Bowland maintained through his life those grand seigneur traits which marked the great souled men of his era; the men who made this California what it is to day by gallantly placing the foundations firmly for the imperial structure of statehood that California has become. Nipo Strongheart in "Braveheart" Is Real Medicine Man gal. -The last "one was given about twenty-five years ago. Mr.

Bowland secured a special train from John A. Mulr, then superintendent of the Southern Pacific in Los Angelea, and for twenty-four hours the Banchp del Puente was the scene of merriment and splendor of entertainment not capable of duplication now. Every man of social, business or other note in Southern California and many from, parts Of the state attended this fiesta, 'an event will always be remembered "by the few who have not passed beyond. THOROUGH AMERICAN A thoroughbred American in every Lions Club Plans to Produce Play I The Lions club, under tho management, of A. Schornagle, is making plans to produce a play about the first of April, which will include in its cast representatives from the dif- ferent'towns in the San Gabriel valley as far east ns San Dimas, and extending from Puenle to Azusa.

It is anticipated that the chambers of commerce and civic bodies will boost the play, as the proceeds -will be nsed-to establish an elaborate advertising booth at San Francisco during the national convention of the Lions, to occur in June. Not only will oranges be features, with free orangeade, but walnuts, lemons and other agricultural products from this section of the San Gabriel vnlley will be featured, together with a plentiful distribution of literature. Covina, West Covina, Baldwin Park, Charter Oak, Puente, Azusa, Glendora and San Dimas will all participate. Pacific Electric Laying New Rails Replacement with heavier rail of 14.7 miles of inbound track between Valley junction and Vineland, near El is a Pacific Electric track improvement shortly to be begun. Entailing an expenditure of $290,000, D.

W. Pontius, vice-president and general manager of the railway, yesterday stated that 90-pound rail would replace the 70-pound previously used oil this section, which is, a part of the main line to San -Bernardino. Garfield avenue and San Gabriel boulevard crossings arc to be repav- ed with asphalt macadam and grooved girder rail used at these intersections. All other intersections cnroute are also to be improved, and about per cent of all ties replaced. Increasing volume of freight traffic and use of the heaviest class of passenger equipment, the 1200-type, was given ca reason for the heavy expenditure.

EYRE ADDRESSES PARENTS AND TEACHERS A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Dr. Eyre Tuesday afternoon when she addressed the grammar school Parent-Teacher association on tJ -The Mental Hygiene of the Child." She was followed with rapt attention as she explained why "mental hygiene" was the attempt to prevent causes of irritants to little children, whose delicate nervous systems are sc susceptible to every impression.

If -children have certain fears parents are advised to find out what those fears were based upon, root them out early and strive to give their children a sane outlook on life. If children are ever ignored is a punishment, care should always DC taken to have them reinstated later oji. They love to be-recognized and praised. Parents should provide the proper environment for their children, and be models themselves, let the children live their own lives. The speaker explained the new "habit clinics" which arc- being established in several states.
