The wsshout on tho Santa Ana branch

General Manager Wade OF the South
ern California railway was asked yeatsr-
day if he expected any mora rain.
''Come here" said he, and he led THE
HERALD representative into corner OF
his offies, and pointing Though his
window in the direction of the north
east, continued: "Do you zee that group
OF white peaks. cutting the blue sky
away off there? They are the San
Jacinto mountains, just 100 miles from
here as the crow flies. When you sec
them you eau rest assured there will be
no rain for "a hours. Of course don't
want to prophecy in advance of that
time, but know when they are Visible

BUs.NEss MUCH BRIGHTER.
HI. G. Thompson, general passenger
agent of the Southern California rail-
way, returned to the city last Saturday
night after seven weeks stay in Chi
cago. He is looking extremely we'll and
says he is glad to get back once more
into our genial climate.
II really did not feel the cold 30 much
while in Chicago" said he. "6evsral
times the temperature got as low as 10
degrees below zero, but it did not affect
me as much as l supposed il would. |
really felt the cold this morning much
more than did while eset; that. how-
ever, was probably because l was not
prepared to find it no cold here.
"The general aspect Of the business
situation back east aeeme to bs great
deal better than it was last year. IL hag
greatly improved, but is not yet back to
it's normal condition, although from
present indications l think 1t will soon
reach that point"
THE ORANGE OUTLOOK
Now that the storm is over, conaider-
able activity again becomes noticeable
among those transportation companies
interested in the movement of the
orange crop, and devout wishes that the
sun will continue to shine are heard on
all sides.
The country in the vicinity OF Red
lands will probably resume shipments
first, owing to the soil, which is of
light, sandy character. This will dry
in half day sufficiently to enable
wagons to enter the orchards and allow
the picking to bs recommended.
In tho neighborhood of Riverside,
however, the ground is Of such q nature
that several daya will intervene before
the crop can be gathered II the pres
ent sunshine continues for several days
this different railways toward the east
will be filled with care full of the golden
Southern CALIFORNIA; fruit.
