EDITOR REVIEW: Enclosed find my
subscription for the Review, the paper
comes regular and is always welcome
visitor. And, now. while writing any
way, may as well add little about
Southern California-theeland of winter
flowers and sunshine, for we now have
winter, or rather spring, in appearance
at least. On the night of the Goth inst.
about an inch of rain fell, enough to
wash the dust from trees and flowers
and everything looks green and SPRING
like, weather warm aud pleasant The
past has been q prosperous year for
Southern California, crops Of all kinds
have been good, as far as gathered, rai-
sin grapes have been abundant and of
fine quality. The rain has held off long
enough to cure the crop out doors
without injury and not car loads.
bnt train loads will be exported from
Southern California this year, the same
Of honey. Oranges promise well, the
fruit is now turning from green to
the color Of gold: But the most impor-
tant crop of all that this part Of country
is reaping this year, is the large crop of
ready cash paid for Southern California
lands and lots by new comers from the
east, especially in San Diego and Los
Angeles counties and cities, and not only
for lands and lots, but for building i'm
provements and business enterprises;
