News Notes From That Thriving
Place.

Place.
1t has rained, and everybody is jubi
liant. The anxiety is relieved, crops of
grain are assured, and the outlook pos
sesses increased roseate hues. The rain
began at about IL O'Clock Tuesday night
and kept up constantly until noon yes
terday. 1t was accompanied a portion
OF the time by quite heavy wind, but
not sufficiently strong to do any damage.
In the afternoon a stiff coast breeze pre-
vailed. Much OF the grain on the dry
lands was beginning to need rain, and it
came in time to allay all fears of short
yield.
That Pomona is quite shipping point
for trees, is shown by the following

1912 prune, 5l92; apricot, 6340 walnut,
2755. Fully $4,000 trees have also been

Another mass meeting is to be called
to consider county division, city divis-
ion, etc. The date has not been fixed,
but it is expected to take place on
Thursday of next week. We are told
that at the coming meeting every body
will be allowed to express his views,
whether pro or con. AS it is probable
that the number of orators will be ex-
ceedingly large on that occasion, it
would be we'll to limit to one speech and
time not over ten minutes. Speakers
can boil down their arguments to ten
minute limit, and carry more weight
than by amplifying to two.hour go-as-
you-please.
The Lordsburg mining boom has not
