pledged to build the valley road from Stock

as good olives as California, but by and by
big blizzard will come along and stop his

pictured by imagining a barnyard goose
trying to block the way of a perplexed

While it is true that the wonderful pros
perity of Southern California was the Gre
alton of enterprising men from the East,
some of the public-spirited men of San
Francisco are showing that Californians
themselves are capable of accomplishing
wonders when they set about the task.
