Twenty live, wild trout are to be released in the pool at that time, and a pass to the Liberty theater in Redlands will be awarded every person who manages to catch one of the slippery fish barehanded.

Pilcher, former owner of a drug store here, returned Monday after an extended trip though the southern and eastern states. He was accompanied by Mrs. Pilcher.

Mr. Pilcher who has been signally successful in business took particular notice of store displays in eastern cities and asserts that displays and stocks are not generally as attractive as in California, He is impressed with the idea that California excels for modern merchandising.

SULLIVAN Don Antonio had what nowadays is called "a political pull." In 1SSS or 1S39 he had procured a provisional concession in the names of his sons, for a colony in San Bernardino valley. The colony was a failure, so Don Antonio, overlooking the fact that several nations of Indians always had supposed that San Bernardino valley belonged to them, asked and obtained the entire territory as private property. He gave the site of the city of Redlands and the Mission district including the old San Bernardino asistencia, to his son, Jose del Car-Carmen. Land to the westward, known variously as Jumua, Jumu-ba, Homoa or Homolla, now identified with the region between Hollow Hill farm and the Santa Ana river, he bestowed upon Jose Maria Lugo, another son.

To a third, Vicente, he presented holdings near the present junior college, between San Bernardino and Colton, a district referred to in historical records as Politano, Apolitana, Hlpoli-tano op Nepolitano. Ordered to Leave Yucaipa District Diego Sepulveda, a nephew, drew Yucaipa for his share, but when he began building a "house of substantial walls," as the adobe struc tures were sometimes called in the records, Palomares descended upon him and ordered him not only to cease building, but to pack up and move on. Diego refused to comply. This adobe building, located on the Cook place, close to the north side of the Beaumont road, Is well known to the older generation of Yucaipans. Lugos Triumph, Take Territory The letter to the governor, signed by Jose del Carmen Lugo and witnessed by the Spanish pioneer, Juan BandinI, among others followed bantiago Arguello, presiding over the second, or southern, prefecture of California, gave as his official opinion that the Lugos were wrong, that Yucaipa was a separate valley rrora San Bernardino, and that, moreover, the Lugo letter had neg lected to mention the fact that the family held immense tracts of land exclusive of Yucaipa.

Officially, in 1S42, hit family came into possession of both Yucaipa and San Bernardino valleys, and Diego Sepulveda, his nephew, settled In peace "where the big red apples grow." Details or a struggle, 87 years ago, lor control or me ricn lucai-pa valley, have been found in letters which escaped destruction in the fire of 1906 at San Francisco.

Beattie Obtains Copies of Letters The correspondence was deposit ed in the records of California when the state was under Mexican rule. Copies have been procured by George W. Beattie of East Highlands, who has been making researches into the history of San Bernardino valley during the Spanish, Mexican and American pioneer periods. The contest for possession of the valley was between Ignacio Palomares, a magistrate, and Jose del Carmen Lugo, acting on behalf of his cousin, Diego Sepulveda. In 1841 pasturage was poor at the rancho known as San Jose, which included the sites of the modern Claremont and Pomona.

Palomares obtained permission to remove his cattle and horses to Yu caipa, where the grazing was better. In mission days a jacal, or herder's hut of poles, brush and mud, had been built there by neophytes from San Gabriel mission. Appeal for Land Arouses Dispute Palomares decided he would like to own. the land. Accordingly, he made application to Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado, head of the Mexican state of California, for a grant of the valley territory.

Word of Palomares intention soon came to the ears of Jose del Carmen Lugo, who was llvine on the site of the new courthouse in San Bernardino, Don Jose was indignant, and he wrote a letter to the governor, setting forth that Yucaipa was a part of the Rancho San Bernardino, which, it was well known, had been applied for by him and his brothers at the instigation of his father, Antonio Maria Lugo.
