 pretty cold for several days before and
 the cold snap proved one thing which
 may be pointer to some man who
 wants ito go into the citrus fruit busi-
 ness. Jas. Chambers was in town
 from his ranch at Agua Caliente. He
 has an orange orchard of which he has

 affected the trees but has not even in
 jured the fruit. This shows where the
 true orange belt so much talked about
