Oily on the morning of the 18th, and it
was not until aooutS 20 that the O'Clock
train left the d street depot at San Ber-
nardino for Redlands. A few of the
number were too late even then, and
were conveyed to the gem of Eastberne
valley by the San Bernardino and Red
lands motor, arriving there in time to be
assigned to carriages provided by citi-
zens, and be piloted, with the rest of the
assembled editors, over the town of Red
lands and the contiguous territory.
Many expressions of admiration escaped
the visitors, who were surprised to learn
that the fourishing young CITY
was only three years old. The repre-
sentatives of the Northern and Central
California Press Association, visiting
with their Southern brethren, were free
to admit that this is great country.
The sights of Redlands having been hur.

again boarded and the association started
for Riverside, stopping at the Cotton
marble works en- route. Here Messrs.
0. L. Dyer, L. L. Dyer and another
brother, Mr.. Pelton, the company's

connected with the establishment, took
great pains to show the visitors over the
works and explain the manner of saw

company last year amounted to $75, 900.
They are now engaged on $3O.-
600 contract for the Academy of
Sciences, San Francisco, and will also
furnish the marble for A. N. Towne's
new residence in San Francisco. This
company also has three lime kilns, which
cost $40, 900 each. Their lime rock is 81
per cent. pure, and makes fine quality
of lime.
Leaving this interesting place, the
train ran rapidly to Riverside, where
lunch was taken at the Glenwood. Then
all who wished to do 80 boarded the
street cars and took free ride down the

orchards laden with rich-colored, clean
large fruit. The sight was one
new to many and enjoyed by all. The
badge OF the association worked like
charm on railroads, street cars, and
almost everywhere. It was the open,
sesame to the citrus fair, which all Wis

more editors have appeared on the scene
since yesterday, and new ones are con-
