This district is twenty-seven miles south
east of this city, Mr.. Botsford is a
grower OF citrus and other fruits, and is
the accredited representative OF Orange

years. The soil is II light adobe. Water
for irrigating purposes is taken from the
Santa Ana River in the Cajon pass, four
teen miles away, while that for domestic
purposes comes from wells. The amount

An Ohioan's Views

Oliver S. Bond of Toledo, Ohio, is
banker and for the past six or seven
years has spent the winter season in this
section of the country. He owns an or
chard in the Glendale Valley, which is
only some six or seven miles from Los
Angeles.
Said the gentleman: This Citrus Fair of
yours is a grand advertisement for the
whole of Southern California. 1t is an
object lesson-yes, scores of them-for
every intelligent person. 1t is a some
thing of so great benefit to this section
of the state that l fear few appreciate it
as they should. True, it is magnifcently
attended, but comparatively speaking not
as it should be- Such peerless, prodigal
and artistic creation as this should at
trtact 10, 600 visitors daily, and it would

other Of the large Eastern cities. 1t is a
marvellous display and is well worth jour
neying across the continent to see. As

evidently has profited from the stimulus
aroused by the Worlds Fair. The man
agement has caught the spirit of the lat
ters projectors, and as result this is a

be called this officially. The name would
not belle its scope or its character. |

IMPARTIAL INTERVIEWS
Interesting Talks on Southern California by
Men Who Know What They Say

AS thousands of copies of The Herald
containing the series OF descriptions OF
the Citrus Fair are being sent to points
all over the East by friends who are per-
manently or otherwise located in or near
Los Angeles, and as this action is based
upon Il desire to convey to the recipients
at least partial idea us to what this
citrus country u.s. u Herald representative
yesterday afternoon took advantage Of the
opportunity to talk with number of cit
rus fruit growers and Others possessing a
, thorough knowledge OF Southern Callfor-
MIA in order to learn the unelaborated
| facts regarding the respective localities
I with which each was the most famillar.
! Every one so interviewed is reliable and
, conservative and the reader may rest as
slred that the collected information to be
{; found in the succeeding paragraphs may
be depended upon as being III every way
trustworthy.
The first gentleman seen was c. K.
Needham OF Glendora, Los Angeles county.
Mr.. Needham has charge of the Azusa,
Covina and Glendora exhibit, Glendora
is in the Azusa valley. or, as it was for
merry called the Upper San Gabriel val
ley, some twenty five miles east of Los
Angeles and is located upon the Santa
Fe railroad. 1t was learned that the soil
in the neighborhood OF this settlement is
of decomposed granite and peculiarly
adapted to the growth of the citrus fruits.
No hardpan has yet been discovered.
The water for irrigation purposes is
abundant, and is drawn from the San
Gabriel River. There are many thousands
of acres in the vicinity that are set to
oranges and lemons, and every acre-it
might be truthfully said every tree--is
doing well.
The neghborhood enjoys an entire i'm
nlunty from damaging frostS In the
history of the valley there has not yet
been known q frost that has damaged the
tender lemon growth. 1t is one OF the
leading places in Southern California
for growing winter tomatoes, and, as
may be judged from this, it is section
of country well adapted to general vege-
table raising. The growing of citrus fruits,
olives and vegetables are the leading in
dustries.
Glendora has just completed the organ
iZation, on the exchange system, of the
Azuss, Covina and Glendora Lemon
Association. This organization is to
cure and handle lemons for the benefit OF
its members. within a radius of say six
miles, one can have the choice OF thous
ands of acres OF really desirable choice
lands that range in price from 500 to
$3.50 per acre with water right, and usu-
ally on easy terms. The character OF the
improvements in and around the town
are OF the very best. There are many res
licences that cost from 900 to $40, 000
The industrious horticulturist living in
his rose-covered cottage is no less valu-
able as Il member of the community be-
cause his domicile is not a palace, as
many hundreds of cases testify.
In the valley AZusa is the leading town.
Glendora and Covina being best described
as settlements.

DISEASE IN MATTRESSES
The Health Officer Is Going to Make War
on Shoddy Factories
Will Ask the Council to Pass an Ordinance
Prohibiting the Manufacture or Sale
Of Wool Mattresses

Among all the other things l am anx-
ious for the Council to do" said Health
Officer Steddom yesterday, sis to pass an
ordinance prohibiting the manufacture or
sale OF these so-called wool mattresses in
the city,
The Health Officer considers this very
important matter. There was something
before the Council about it some time ago,
but 1t seems to have been lost sight Of.
"These wool mattresses breed diseases
without end,' said DR.. Steddom. "They
are filed with shoddy made out Of old
rags and carpets gathered up by Chine ss
scavengers around the back yards and
streets. They are not even cleaned, but
just ground up and dumped in"
I'VE have five factories in this city that
! know of which are supplied by these
Chinese scavengers, and l estimate that
from 100 to $50 of the mattresses are sold
daily. 1t is almost beyond belief. People
suffer with diseases which battle the ply
sicians until it is all at once discovered
that they are sleeping on these disease
breeding things, and then get well as soon
as they can after procuring proper bed.
ding.
II have been in first class furniture stores
which smelled like an old cellar. found
that they had a large stock of these wool
mattresses on hand.
"The only ordinance regarding the
things now Is that they shall not be man
ufactured within 100 yards of any church,
schoolhouse or dwelling. If they should
not be manufactured closer than this, how
is it that they should be kept in furniture
stores and slept upon?
II do not believe that the regular furni-
ture dealers would object to an ordinance
prohibiting them, but the secondhand
dealers would, of course. Nevertheless
am going to ask the Council for the or
dinance, and can very speedily convince
the members that am correct.

ST. DAvID'S DAY
Il Was Fittingly Celebrated by the
Welsh


Welsh
The regular entertainment given by
the Welsh residents of Los Angeles in
honor of st. David, the patron Saint OF
the nation, took place yesterday evening
in the handsome new Welsh Church, No.
436 Crocker street. The auditorium was
tastefully decorated with flowers, the
Welsh coat of orms and the American
which listened with interest to the well
rendered programme. A pleasant feature
was the presence of Rev. Williams Evans,
of Llandudno, Wales, who is visiting the
principal cities and Welsh centers OF the
United States, who arrived in the city
On behalf of the Welsh and of the various
religious denominations of Los Angeles,
he was given a hearty welcome on the
platform by Rev. d. Hughes, Rev.. DIR.
Jenkins, Rev. Newell and Judge w. T.
Williams, of this city, and Rev. Jones, of
Pasadena, to which he responded in an
appropriate manner.
The following programme was rendered;

Recitation-Miss Nellie Lockwood.
Duet-Misses Ethel and Florence Ress.
song-Miss Jones, PasedenS

At the close of the programme, supper
was served by the ladies, who had pre-
pared it with great care.
The proceeds will be used in paying the
debt still remaining on the organ and
church furniture.
The affair was one of the pleasantest Of
the many which have been given in the
past by the Welsh of the city, and reflects
credit on those who had the matter in
charge.

'Citrus and deciduous fruits, nuts,
Lima beans and oil are our chief pro-
ducts. Our oil wells are many and yield
about 10000 barrels monthly. That

If there is one product of which we
at Santa Paula feel and think justly,
proud it is our capacity for raising april
cots. Right near my home is an apricot

Ojai Valley

The Ojai Valley is located fifteen miles
from a railroad station, and, as may be
expected from this fact, the price of lands
is lower than those more favorably stu
ated in this respect. This papers repre-
sentative was fortunate enough while at
the Citrus Faitr to come across a horti-
culturist from this locality. This gentle
man was Z. Gibson.
The Ojai Valley is fifteen miles by
wagon road from Ventura, the county
seat of Ventura county. and is about sew
enty-tive miles northwest from Los Ange-
les. The soil of the neighborhood is OF
decomposed shale, sandstone and gypsum.
Water for irrigating is brought from An
tone canyon, one mile away, and is plenti-
full Water for domestic purposes comes
from the same source. Enthusiastically
the gentleman said that the valley under
consideration would produce anything
that could be raised anywhere in Southern
California. The citrus family does we'll,
and it is the home of all deciduous fruits.
Mr.. Gibson, as an experiment, put out
four years ago 100 apple trees. Last sea-
son they yielded fifty bushels of fruit.
Bare land sells at from $50 to 500 per
acre, on easy terms.
