Grafton

EDITOR HERALD. - Grafton is a
place remarkably pleasantly situated
10 miles from San Bernardino on the
zanja leading from Mill creek cafion
to Old San Bernardino, and for health
fulness and pleas antness of appear
ance is decidedly unequalled in South
ern California. This may seem like
saying a good deal, but it is neverthe-
less true. 1t is located at the base of
the foot hills near San Bernardino
Mountains, where the air is dry and
pure, and so seldom visited by fogs,
that one may say there never are any.
When Northers are raging elsewhere,
there they are only stiff wind, with
no dust whatever. The water is di-
rectly from mountain springs and is
pure and good. There is also abun-
dance of shade, and the cool, clear
mountain stream running near the
house, adds much to the agreeableness
of the situation, as well as adding sew
eral degrees to the GOODNESS of the tenn
perature of the surroundings. The
lower story of the house is of adobe,
which is always very cool and COM
Portable in the hottest weather.
In the seasons of fruit the place is
abundantly supplied, having large
vineyards, apple and peach orchards,
with plentiful supply of apricots,
nectarines, pears, etc., of which
boarders are welcome to enjoy to the
fullest extent, besides all this--and
much more might be said in favor of
the place-the proprietor, Mr.. Crafts,
is a most pleasant, agreeable and ac-
commodating gentleman, who is ever
on the alert to do all that can be done
for the comfort of his boarders, and
the good landIady, his wife, will al
ways give you good clean table, we'll
provided, and clean bed. This place,
whether for invalids or others sojourn-
ing in the vicinity for health or pleas
ure, cannot be surpassed or even
e9ualled in the particulars already
mentioned, while the price of board is
very reasonable.
