The Army Enroute.
]. T, HINKLE, Sec.

Idaho is to be invaded this
year. So the Salvation army
has decided. A few weeks ago
the little state knew nothing Of
the tambourines and hallelujah
lassies and the big bass drum,
says the Chronicle. Then blue
bonnels came over the border
and started a revival in Lewis
ton, 1t promises to be a big
success, and the staff is now
planning to transfer the Spokane
officers to Moscow in Che early
spring. One by one all the
principal towns are to be entered
and corps formed all over the
state, The workers row in the
field say Idaho affords a s. lem
did field for labor and promises
big results.
The Spokane army is busy.
Saturday evening a children's
jubilee is to be given, with songs
and speeches by all the little
boys and girls in the army.
Then supper is to be served and
a general good time enjoyed by
all the soldiers and recruits.
Next week the farewell program
is to be given in honor Of Capt.
Bigney and Lieut.. Hudspeth,
who are to be succeeded by new
officers from the east. Then
they will go to Portland for
few weeks rest before beginning
the Moscow campaign.

Glendale, Burbank, Csnyads and That
Section.
Glen dale is pretty little settlement,
three miles north of the city limits, at
the foot OF the Verdugo mountains, on
two lines of railroad. Many citizens of
Los Angeles reside here. Much decid-
uous fruit is grown. and the there are
some fine old orange orchards.
Back OF Glendale are the two pctur-
esque little mountain valleys OF Esgle
Rock and Crescenta Canada, whose
charming climate and fertile soil have
attracted many homeseeksrs. Citrus
and decduous fruits are grown, also
winter vegetables in the froHtless belt OF
these valleys.
town OF slightly location, on O sloping
mesa at the foot of the mountains. Fine
deciduous fruits and potatoes are raised.
Beyond Burbank stretches the San
Fernando valley, the granary of the
horse teams loaded with wheat come
into San Fernando daily during the sea-
son. A large area has been planted to
trees. mostly deciduous, although good
oranges are grown. The old Spanish
mission, near town, is well worth visit
ing. The Southern Pacific company is
about to construct a branch railroad
from Burbank to Chatsworth Park, in
the northwestern part OF the valley.
North of San Fernando, past NewhRll
and Soledad canon, is the great Ante-
lope valley, vast elevated plateau,
where lands are cheap and some OF the
finest wheat OF California ia raised in
large quantities. Settlement has been
rapid during the past few years and
many fruit trees are being planted,
almonds, cherries and raisin grapes
doing especially we'll. There ia a wide
artesisn belt, and irrigation is being
introduced. Some snow falls occasion

LOS NIEToS VALLEY.

A Section Famous for Its Varied Farm
Products.
This is a fertile, level section of the
country, southeast of the city, which at
tracted settlers in the early days of
Southern Cslifornia's agricultural de-
velopment. 1t derived its name from
the old Spanish settlement of Los Nietoe.
1t is a steady, Sold fashioned section,
especially famous for it's orchards Of
English walnuts and as region of hay,
hogs, corn and cheese, although fine de-
ciduous fruits and oranges are also
grown.
The chief town in this section is Dow
ney, quiet, prosperous place, surround.
ed by fertile lands, upon which large
crops OF alfalfa, corn and fruits are
raised. Much butter, cheese, eggs and
poultry are shipped. Alfalfa land that
will yield four to eight tons of alfalfa
hay to the acre can be bought at from
500 to $3.50 per acre.
AT Santa Fe Springs the mineral water
attracts many visitors. Norwalk, four
miles south OF Downey, is the center Of
the dairy industry. with two cheese fac
tories. Much corn, potatoes and butter
are shipped. Rivera, a comparatively
new village in the midst of an old
orchard settlement, makes specially of
walnut culture, over 80 carloads of these
profitable nuts having been shipped
last season.
Compton, about II miles from Los An
geles, on the San Pedro branch of the
Southern Pacific, is surrounded by arte.
eian wells and fat fields of corn and
alfalfa. Fine apples are grown. Clear.
water, little east of Compton, was
founded as cooperative colony few
years ago. Artesian water is obtained
in the artesian belt, which appears to be
located over an underground river.
Around Florence, which is few miles
south OF Los Angeles. are thousands OF
acres of potato and alfalfa fields. Guam
titles OF vegetables are grown In this
section.

POMONA VALLEY.
A Thriving City With q Brilliant Flu.

A Thriving City With q Brilliant Fu-
This section, which was formerly
known as the San Jose valley, has made
almost all its growth during the past 10
years.
Pomona, so miles east of Los Angeles,
on the Southern California and Southern
Pacific lines, is thriving little city to
which the census of 1890 credited 1884
inhabitants, since which time it has
largely increased. In 1880 the popula-
tion was 100. 1t has we'll kept streets, a
number of handsome business blocks,
banks. schools and churches, and gen.
eral air of prosperity. For miles in ev-
cry direction stretch continuous rows of
orchards. Oranges, apricots, peaches.
prunes and olives yield large profits to
the fortunate owners, whose tasteful
homes are embowered among the
trees. About half million dollars
was received lset year for horticultural
products by this community, of some
5000 people, on tract which 10 years
ago was little better than desert. Five
fruit dryers and a cannery have paid out
in wages as much as $l200 day. Fifty
carloads Of fresh deciduous fruits were
shipped from Pomona this season. Two
years hence the income of Pomon will
be over $1,000,000 annually from horti-
cultural pronucts.
Pomona has become great center for
the olive industry. Hundreds of thous.
ands of young trees are sent to all parts
of the coast. The demand for picked
olives is in excess OF the supply, and a
fine grade OF oil is made at local mill.
The San Antonio Electric Light and
Power company, utilizing q mountain
stream flowing from San Antonio canon,
furnishes light and power to Pomona,
and expects soon to extend its field as
far as San Bernardino. Pomona
is a striking example of the hor-
ticultural possibilities of South
ern California. Few places in the state
have future that is brighter or more
assured. There is comfortable and
capacious tourists hotel, which in win
ter ia well patronized.
At Claremont, suburb OF Pomona,
there is a college which ia being en-
larged; also number of beautiful
homes, with thriving orchards. At
Lordsburg. the frat station on the
Southern California railway west OF Po-
mona, is large Dunkard college. in an
imposing building that was designed

the big head, in fact. When the patient
was laid upon the operating table the
pulsations OF his brain were plainly visi-
bic. From chronological standpoint
the operation was not a success. His
mental characteristlcs are jumbled to-

the hospital, he ought to be
sincerely thankful il medical science
had changed him into a good, self-re-
specting dog. But human nature is
iealously tenacious OF its identity, and
Whiteiord is constantly imploring the
doctor that, if he does decide that old
Whitefofd was OF no use, to make one
which just will be at least as good as the
original, When DR.. Marks tells him
that he cannot change him into an
other man the patient argues with sing

taking men apart, and if he cannot put
one together again he must Da very
dull sort of fellow. He also points to
his new skull and SAYS that any man

he is all mixed up as to who he ie or

imagines that DR.. Marks has a high
ideal of manhood and that be has re-
generated him into the sort OF man
that he admires. At these times he ia
very circumspect in his demeanor aud
regrets that he cannot live up to the
standard. At other times he thinks
that the doctor has changed him into a

tional one, as the change would not be
great one, and his pact life convlnces
him that he can easily carry out the
programme the physician has marked
out for him to perfection. At other
times ne is eagerly solicitous that he
should be made into new man. He
says he don't care who is, just go he is

Rialto fret gained place on the map
of Southern California in the early
spring of 1851 at the close OF the
exciting days Of the boom. When
the fitful fever of town-lot speculation
passed away and cool headed calculation
resumed control OF mems minds, they
began looking around for locations for
homes which would be not only com.
Portable, but bring in an income, and
then came the era OF buying and selling
acreage property, and OF planting
orchards and vineyards. 1t was a
healthy reaction from an overweight
condition of speculation, and its be-
nefcent effects will remain for ages after
the boom has been forgotten.
Rialto ia situated on the main line OF
the Santa Fe railway system, four miles
west of San Bernardino and 55 miles
east OF Los Angeles. 1t is the principal
town of what is known as the Empire
colony-s tract of nearly 10000 acres OF
rich soil, OF which almost every acre is
susceptible of easy cultivation.
For distance of nine miles this great
trsctis traversed by the parallel lines
of the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
Railway companies, each OF which has
within it's limits two stations for the &C.
commodation of local traffic. Situated
in the very heart of the great citrus
belt, more nearly frostless perhaps than
any other OF the foothill colonies, with
almost complete ownership OF the waters
of Lytle creek-which is second in size
only to the Santa Ana river--besides q
large artesian water supply capable of
almost indefinite expansion, there is no
reason to wonder that its development
has been rapid.
There have been very few sales OF
property to speculators and nearly every
acre held by individuals has been
bought for the purpose of making homes.
The people who are doing this work
come mostly from Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Kansas and Nebraska and are men
and women OF energy, intelligence and
refinement. There are within the linn
its OF the colony four school districts,
each with fine modern school building,
furniture, library and other necessary
educational facilities. The schools are
well attended and for thoroughness of
werk done take rank with the best in
| the state.
The town of Rialto has two flourish
ing church Organizations Methodist
Episcopal and Congregational-and each
has beautiful building finely furnished
and paid for. The Methodist congregG-
tion has also a good parsonage, built
during the past summer at cost OF
about 1920. The newer towns OF
Bloomington, West Rialto and Rosma
have also their church societies and ex-
pect to build in the near future-prob-
ably witniH the year.
Rialto has also $4,000 hotel which
is conducted in good style, weekly
newspaper, general stores. shoe store,
blacksmith shop, etc. II has number
