Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City of San Diego and San Diego County, Vol. 1: The Birthplace of California When the writer started to prepare this History of San Diego County, it was with the hope that no preface would be necessary. Yet, as the work of gathering the necessary facts and preparing them for print progressed, the need for a few preliminary remarks became evident. An important reason for this lies in the fact that the writer could not have a longer time than was allotted to him to complete his manuscript. It would have been a pleasant task, for instance, to go more deeply into the rich stories of reminiscence which have been collected about San Diego, whose olden days are full of romantic appeal. It was impossible, however, within the limits of time and scope that had been laid down, to do more than select from these a few stories which seemed to be most important or distinctive or typical. The task was taken up and completed in full realization that the earlier periods of San Diego's history had been very ably covered in other histories, notably in that completed nearly fifteen years ago by William E. Smythe, then a resident of San Diego. It would be next to impossible for anyone to prepare a history of this city and county without giving much consideration to Mr. Smythe's history. He did excellent work in collecting facts, some of them from rapidly dwindling sources, and he wrote those facts into a book of real merit. Since any history of San Diego has been published, however, has come the period of the city's greatest material advancement. In this time has, been the Exposition, by which San Diego sent out to the world notice that here was a city which could not be held back longer, and by which thousands of Americans from other parts of the nation were made to learn that in the matchless climate of Southern California lay the greatest opportunity for comfortable living. This educational work, incidentally, has been carried on in an admirably effective way by the advertising of the San Diego-California Club in the last few years. In this later period, too, came the completion of the San Diego Arizona Railway, built through the determination of John D. Spreckels, San Diego's foremost citizen, that the city shod realize its hope, cherished for many years, in which there were many cruel disappointments, of a direct outlet to the East from San Diego's magnificent harbor. In these recent years also there was the San Diego of war times, with the growth almost overnight of great military and naval establishments here. Following that, San Diego has become a great naval base - an honor to which the port had long been rightfully entitled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of San Diego That part of the New World which was to become San Diego county, in the State of California, was discovered from the desert side in 1539, by a monk called Father Marcos. This man, who was looking for gold, had journeyed from New Galicia, in Northern Mexico, to the region about the Colorado river in search of the "seven cities of Cibola," known in border fable as the opulent and teeming homes of artisans in precious metal. Arriving at Vacapos, which he described as a "hospitable town," the monk sent his companions to spy out the land. Some of them marched westward to a Sierran range; and when they reached its top they were able to see the ocean. The great waters, they said, were but forty leagues from Vacapos, a place which, from the distance given, must have been within the future limits of San Diego.

Excerpt: ... not touch the plant or tree, or come near enough to make the. nil bake around it. Third, The water should be '.111'! in small streams for two or three days, and not in large streams for a few hours. ADVANTAGES AND BEST METHODS OF IRRIGATION. 31 Fourth, The ground should be cultivated as soon as dry enough, and be constantly stirred until the roots have sapped out most of the moisture. Cultivation is almost as important as irrigation, and the water should be used no oftener than is necessary, and never used again as a substitute for the plow or cultivator to prevent baking. If properly done, five times a year is the utmost required for oranges and lemons, and about.three times for all deciduous fruits, corn, potatoes, etc. And on all sections not extremely dry, once less will generally do. Such shallow-rooted and thirsty plants as strawberries must have more, but for all trees and vines the above will do. ' The modes of irrigation are various, but all of any value may be reduced to three. First. Running a small ditch from tree to tree without any basins around the tree. This is about the only survivor of the old Mexican times. Considering the fact that it wets little of the ground and only gives the tree drink, its results are wonderful. Even the olive and the native live oaks and cactus that seem to need no water will double their growth and yield under it. But it should never be used where the Second, or basin system can be used. Here a large basin is made around the tree and filled several times. Where the basin is large enough and is refilled often enough and the ground well mulched, this does fairly well but should only be used where water is scarce. It trains the tree to roots like a brush instead of sending them out laterally...
