Redlands Daily Facts from Redlands, California • Page 3

Redlands founder lost his shirf there, but things are different now Frank E. Brown should see what's happening in Moreno now By ERWIN S. HE1N Frank Elwood Brown, who did so nicely in the founding of Redlands but lost most of his shirt in Moreno, should see now what's doing at the scene of his disaster! There were momentous happenings this last weekend in the Moreno valley just 10 miles south of Redlands that quickly recalled the eminent Mr. Brown. On Friday a $10-million land deal was closed officially, transferring 6.400 acres of the old Hendrick Ranches to some Beverly Hills buyers.

Saturday the new owners, the Southern California Financial corporation, placed on the market a section of 10-aerc All this is being done at precisely the same point, and in much the same manner, as Frank Brown tried it.

"Redlands' first banker, Frank P. Morrison, planted 40 acres of oranges at the top of Redlands boulevard, the first SI property below the crest of the Moreno grade, Mr. Gass recalled. "Then there was Brown's 700 acres, also on the west side of Redlands boulevard. Below, extending into the village, there were 400 acres of oranges and olives planted by the Moreno Fruit Growers association.

"We got the tunnel through in time to deliver some Bear Valley water in 1891," Gass remembered, "but there had been a terrific drought, accompanied by vard exactly where Brown venture was a major topic, had freezing winters and a plague dreamed of a twin city for Red- 1.904 happy inhabitants.

This gurgling torrent of Bear Valley water, photographed at the Moreno tunnel in the '90's, made all the difference between Frank E. Brown's dream and his nightmare. It all but disappeared in the drought years, such as 1899. Even Redlands, with first claim on this water supply, had to stop sprinkling its dusty streets, restricted lawn watering to an hour a week, and closed mains at night to prevent theft.
