The new warehouse being constructed by August & Beatty will be ready to receive hay and grain the latter part of this week. Mrs. E. E. Beatty will be
bookkeeper for the warehouse here and will shortly move form Perris.

Work is progressing rapidly on the new schoolhouse, and the building will be ready for use when school opens in September.

E. A. Cantarini has accepted a position as clerk in the First National Bank. The business of the new bank is increasing rapidly and is already on a paying
basis.

Considerable grain will be hauled to town and stored as soon as the new warehouse is completed.

Temecula can now boast of a lumberyard and a shoe shop. A drug store is one of the prospective lines to be put in soon.

Temecula is not an incorporated town and will therefore get the concrete road through the main part of the town. This is a great thing for Temecula and
later on when the town incorporates we will have a paved street if we never get any more.

Temecula National Bank has Fine Record
Elsewhere we call attention to the statement of the First National Bank of Temecula. This bank has been in existence less than a year and now has a
business of over $70,000, which is remarkable showing for a bank in a section so remote from the centers of population. A few months ago the average
financier would have hooted at the idea of starting a bank at Temecula, but Eli E. Barnett, Mr. Burnham, C. P. Shumate and other far sighted business
men were of the opinion it would be a paying proposition and their judgment was exceedingly good for the bank is already on a paying basis. C. P.
Shumate is cashier, and already has been compelled to have an assistant in the person of Mr. Cantarini, a bright young man and son of Auguste
Cantarini. Mr. Shumate is making a big success of the bank.

Temecula, The Coming Section
It does not take a prophet to forecast the future of the Temecula valley. There is no section in Riverside County or anywhere for that matter, where nature
has been more lavish in bestowing certain gifts. Temecula has been the cattleman's paradise for the last thirty years, and fortunes have been
accumulated by the cattlemen. But a change is coming about and Temecula will soon be put on the map in big, bold type.

New Bank Paves the Way
It is the general rule of business that the town is built and a demand is created for the bank, but Temecula is an exception. Eli E. Barnett, George A.
Burnham, Mac Machado, Auguste Cantarini, C. P. Shumate and others interested in the development of the valley decided that a good bank would
materially assist in developing the community and they accordingly launched the First National Bank of Temecula. The bank has had a good business
from the start and has already loaned about $35,000. A bank building of concrete, costing over $10,000 was erected and the bank is now comfortably
installed in one of the best buildings in the county. Eli E. Barnett is president and C. P. Shumate is cashier of this institution. The directors are Auguste
Cantarini, George A. Burnham and Mac Machado. The bank already has deposits of nearly $50,000.

The Cattle Business
Thousands of cattle are shipped very month from the Pauba Ranch and by other, cattlemen to Los Angeles and other points. Temecula also furnishes the
meat markets of Elsinore, Riverside and other towns with best, the best to be gotten anywhere. There are thousands of acres of land where alfalfa grows the
year round without irrigation and enormous crops are produced. The grazing land in this section is not surpassed. The past year the wheat and barley
crop was heavy and the dry ranchers were enriched by thousands of dollars. Vegetables, corn, apples and peaches will grow to perfection on the higher
lands.

Stone Quarries are Busy
Trainloads of granite paving blocks are shipped from Temecula and this industry furnishes employment for many people. There are several quarries and
work is being pushed on a large order of blocks, for the Pacific Electric people. The blocks when made bring $55 (?) per thousand.

Inducements to Home Seekers
Temecula offers great inducements to homeseekrs. There is being opened a large tract of land which can be purchased in five ten or twenty acres and the
opportunity is offered to get a foothold in this rich section.

$10,000 Grammar School
A new $10,000 union grammar school building is being erected the bonds having been voted several months ago. Other new buildings are promised and
all in all, Temecula has the prospects of rapid and substantial development.

Already the town has several stores, which would be a credit to a much larger community.

Elsinore Stars Win over Temecula Team
The Elsinore Stars came home triumphant yesterday afternoon from the Murrieta Hot Springs diamond, where they faced the Dusky Lads from Land of
the Temeculas. The game was anybody's until the last inning. Then the Stars rallied and brought six runs across the plate, which won the battle. The
score had been very close until then. First one side was ahead then the other making the game the more exciting and interesting. In the third or fourth
inning the Temeculas were one run ahead of the Stars and thought they had the world on a downhill pull, but they soon found the pull to be going the
other way. Two men on and BINGO Sketter Wright wraps out a two-bagger and made the lead of the Temeculas look sick. But they rallied and succeeded in
tying the score, but that was as far as they ever got. The scream of the whole act was when Berry knocked the pill clear over the inferno regions of right
field and only took three bases when he might made hoe had he hurried a little. No one said a word for a moment, the crowd had ceased their cheering and
the players were going back to their positions when a yowl that would make the coyote take a back seat, came up from the players bench and a tall duskey
thundered, "Meester Oompire" he roared "dat's foul bawl." Both umpires looked at each other in amazement for neither had watched the ball again the
dusky roared "dat's foul bawl." All right" said the Ump "foul ball" and sent Mr. Berry back to the batters box to try again. The final score rested with the
odds in favor of the Stars by a margin of 12 to 6.
