Notes

Mr. Earl was a native Californian having been born on a farm near
Red Bluff in the Sacramento Valley in 1858. His parents, Josiah and
Adelia T Earl, who were among the pioneers of California, several
years later moved to Oakland where Mr. Earl received a high school
education. On leaving school, at the age of 18 years, he engaged in
the fruit shipping business and with his father and other growers soon
afterwards organized a company for the handling and shipping of
California fruit to eastern markets.

Mr. Earl’s first important venture in this line was in 1876 when he crossed
the continent on a freight train with two cars loaded with grapes. The
train was 16 days in route. One car was sold in New York and the other
in Philidelphia. These were the first fruit shipments to cross the continent
by freight train in refrigerator cars. In 1877 the shipping organization
formed by Mr. Earl was dissolved and he continued in the business
alone, later organizing the Earl Fruit Company, which handled a business
of many millions of dollars annually.

Politically active owner of two Los Angeles daily news publications
"The Express an evening news publication purchased in 1900 and
the Tribune its short-lived morning counterpart which was launched
July 4, 1911 and ceased publication during World War I." Earl
and Los Angeles Times owner Harry Chandler were close friends
and frequent business partners in real-estate purchases.

Earl's personal real-estate portfolio was vast and consisted of some
of Los Angeles's most impressive structures. The most notable
of which was the Standard Oil building that he owned outright.
The nations premier oil company counted E.T. Earl as a major
shareholder as was the case of many of its subsidiary organizations.

Earl "a tireless worker," made his fortune marketing California
fruits in the East. The Earl Fruit Company for years was the
dominant fruit packing and shipping concern in California. The
sale of the company to the Armour family in 1900 increased Earl's
personal fortune by $2.5 million. The Armour family struck a
deal which allowed Earl to end a bitter fight with large packing
companies around the country. Earl continued on as the Earl
Fruit Company manager and minority company owner until the
company was sold to Joseph Di Giorgio in 1910.

Right up until he breathed his last, E.T. Earl remained one of the
most important figures in Los Angeles business and political circles.
The mighty political machine Earl assembled would continue to be
a factor in California politics long after his death on January 2, 1919
at the age of 62.

Edwin T. Earl was a member of the San Fernando Mission Land
Company, a syndicate that included railroad and real estate
tycoon, Henry Huntington; Union Pacific's president, E.H. Harriman;
the Times' owner, Harrison Gray Otis; and the Los Angeles Express
newspaper's owner, Edwin Earl. This syndicate obtained an option
to buy Valley land in 1904, less than two months after Mulholland
told the Board of Water Commissioners of his support for taking
the Owens Valley water. They exercised their option in 1905
on the day that former mayor Fred Eaton got word to the Board
that he had secured an option on a key piece of real estate
in the Owens Valley. With such inside information, they were
able to buy 16,000 acres of San Fernando Valley land for $35
an acre, later making millions from this and other purchases
once the Owens Valley water arrived in the San Fernando Valley.
With their control of local media, too, they were able to bombard
Angelenos with fear of drought so that they would vote for funding
the aqueduct.

In 1905, the Good Government League was formed in Los Angeles,
consisting of Hayes and other prominent Los Angeles progressives,
such as Edwin T. Earl, the owner of the Los Angeles Examiner
along with his like-minded editor Edward Dickson. The moderate
“Goo Goos,” as they were derisively called by their opponents
on both the right and left, quickly filled the city council
with men of their persuasion. In 1909 they elected a mayor,
the elderly George Alexander, a former Iowan farm boy and Civil
War veteran. The progressive Goo Goos did indeed provide good
government for Los Angeles, instituting reforms that included
a professional municipal civil service, and a revised city charter,
which instituted non-partisan elections, thus freeing the city
from the stranglehold of machine politics.

Kent Kane Parrot joined the social reform minded progressive
political organization headed by E.T. Earl. Earl's boys as they
came to be known included Vincent Morgan "Parrot's law partner
and Earl's hand picked candidate for county district attorney
in 1914. George E. Cryer who ran unsuccessfully for city attorney
in 1914 later to be elected mayor (1921) thanks in large part
to Kent's efforts. Following the death of E.T. Earl (1918) Kent
aligned himself with Judge Gavin W. Craig's political apparatus.

The Earl Lectures were created through a gift from Edwin T.
Earl, a long-time friend of The Pacific School of Religion,
who established an endowment in 1901 to bring eminent scholars
to Berkeley to speak on themes important to Christian thought
and life. Past Earl Lecturers include Theodore Roosevelt, Paul
Tillich, Elie Wiesel, Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, and Gustavo
Gutierrez. The lectures continue to this day.

General Harrison Gray Otis, founder of the Los Angeles Times,
built a home next to Westlake Park, as did Isaac Van Nuys. Other
prominent residents of Wilshire Boulevard were Edwin Tobias
Earl (2425 Wilshire Blvd). The great Allenoke Manor owes a debt
to the house of business tycoon and art collector Edwin Tobias
Earl. Designed by Coxhead, the Earl house was built at 2425
Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, in 1895–98 and demolished in
1957. Both designs feature steep roofs set with oversized dormer
gables (albeit in different styles); a projecting front porch
fenestrated with arched openings on three sides and crowned
with a neo-classical balustrade; a large, rectangular windowed
bay projecting from the living room; and clinker brick exteriors.
As in many other Coxhead residences, the rustic exterior belies
the formal, rich interior.

Edwin T. Earl bought the old Hall ranch near Los Angeles and
called his subdivision "Alta Canyada." Streets were cut through
the old ranches; grain fields, vineyards and citrus groves became
small chicken ranches and home sites for commuters to Los Angeles.
Edwin T. Earl named the streets after family members, Jarvis
Avenue and Earl Drive. Today the city is La Canada and incorporated
into Los Angeles.
