Colonel Jerry Long tells US that
at Tulare, and until the Mejave is
reached, it is excessively warm

over the Southern Pacific from
Los Angeles to San Francisco are
treated to the novel experience of
fires in the stoves coming towards
and leaving the mountain ranges
near Los Angeles, and of q need
for opening every available venti-
lator and window when the San
Joaquin valley is reached.
The number of tall men In Los

tlemsn who was six feet four
inches high, within ten minutes
we ran upon gentleman from
Texas who must have been at least
eight feet-we meant to say eight
inchss-taller. Verify, it is hard
to say where the energies OF
Mother Nature will step when o
limestone country Is the psiHt Of
departure.
