the town. The trees are bright and clean,
and so far no insect pest has ever been
found on them. Last year there were

great change, indeed, from the grain
fields of five years ago. Here is probably
the largest oak tree IN the State, it meas
uriDg thirty-eigh feet around the trunk.
Professor Hllgard, who has analyZed the
land, says 1t possesses no superior in the
State for fruit raising.
Here the houses were decorated. and
the Guinda brass band was at the depot
TO welcome the eXcursionists. Rev.
Jobson delivered an address of welcome
to them In behalf OF the residents, and
the Committee on Reception took them
in hand and showed them the orchards
and vineyards, during their four hours
stay. Many San Jose and NacavllIe fruit
raisers have come here to locate, and are
well satisfied with the change.
OK TO RUMsEY.
On again the excursionists go, through
continuous orchards and vineyards, 10
Cashmere, pretty little place, and soon
arrive at Rumsey, five miles above
u
Here. for the first time, they find the set
tlement, which contains about 200 people,
extending on the east side Of Cache
Creek.
There are several hundred acres Of
orchards and vineyards here, and here,
in all probability, will be- found splen-
did site for growing citrus fruits, as the
two orange trees on the old Rumsey
place are bearing well in spite of years of
rl..at kat
never do much damage here.
About q mile above Rumsey Cache
Creekfpours out its rushing current from
a deep gorge between the hills-a most
lovely and romantic spot-and up this
canyon, along the creek, the railroad will
doubtless go before many years, to give
an outlet to Lake County and the country
above il.
The visitors are enchanted with the
view. 1t is the finale to all the express
sions of wonder and admiration they have
expressed all along the route at the
transformation that q few short years
have effected in the vauey-lovely before
the road was extended through 1t. but
doubly lovely now, with the rich green of
the orchards where was once the brown OF
the dead grasses or the golden wheat.
Reluctantly they climb aboard the train
for their return home, with a mental
will come again. They look favoraply
on the project TO connect their pretty
town with this gem of the valleys, and
the inhabitants express also the hope
that time may bring about the change.
