March 15, 1897 [SBDN]: “San Miguel, the western most island of the Santa Barbara group, is to be turned into a gigantic hog ranch by the new company, of which K. F. Rule, treasurer of the Terminal Railroad, is president. Mr. Roberts of Cudahy Packing Company vice president, and H. G. Stanley, secretary. The island comprises some 14,000 acres, quite a portion of which will raise good barley and alfalfa crops. Properly handled, the scheme will be a success.”
