Ontario has population Of 1000 peo-
pie, scattered over a wide range OF
country, which they have improved by
planting in orchards all the fruits OF the
temperate and eemi-torrid zones. Here

ton, and it is pleasure to the horti-
cuiturist to see with what exquisite
taste the grounds are set out and looked
after.
Water in abundance 10 brought from
San Antonio cafion in cement pipes and
supplies the town and orchards with
plenty of good, pure mountain water.
Euclid avenue, O wide avenue run
ming from Ontario proper to the cafion,
is something over seven miles in length
and ie aligned on either side and in the
center with a glorious wealth of shade
trees. A ride up and down this avenue
discloses some OF the finest fruit ranches
and handsomest home places to be
found anywhere. A street car, pulled
by horses from Ontario up the caflon.
comes down again "a kiting" by the
force of gravity, horses and all. A little
fat car on which the horses stand is
attached behind, and from the look OF
placid contentment exhibited by the
dumb beasts it is plain to be seen that
the horses know how to enjoy their
picnic.

proven by the support it gives its two
pap ers. the Record and Observer; two
bright, newsy papers withal, who are
interested heart and soul in the pros
perity of the place.
