Until this year, although Ontario has
been an extensive shipper of citrus and de-
ciduous fruits. two or three packing
houses have been able to handle both at
Ontario and North Ontario, the product
of the orchards and groves of this place
and Cucamonga. This year, however, a
large area of fruit farms came into full
bearing. and the output of oranges alone
will probably reach 500 carloads. To meet
the necessities of this immense export
business the representatives of the prin-
cipal fruit shipping firms operating in
Southern California are now erecting sew
eral commodious packing houses. Ar
rangements have been made by Miller d
Malone, an enterprising shipping firm here.

Ecale fruit canning operations.
At North Ontario citric acid factory,
equipped in the best manner, has been
recently erected. and is now receiving the
machinery for It's special work. This
opening for low grade Gull lemons will be
appreciated by lemon growers all over the
country, as the manufacturers Marshall
& Field. expect to use a very much larger
quantity OF under-grade fruit than they
can procure in this district.

PERSIAN RULERS JEWELS
Fabulous Story of the Great Gems in
the Peacock Throne Room


Who has not heard of the Persian
jewels; their glory, their number, their
priceless worth? When the doors were
unlocked and l was taken into the pea
cock throne room 1 found myself sur
ronded by mass of wealth unequaled in
the world. Nowhere are such treasures.
But nowhere, also, is there such an ac-
cumulation of rubbish. l will, however,
dismiss the rubbish and refer only to
the treasures. Down each side OF the
room were chairs entirely covered with
sheeted gold, and at intervals were
tables of gold, nailed, l shuddered to
note. with the commonest of black
headed tackS!
At the far end of the room was the
wonder of the world, the peacock
throne Whether it is one of the seven
thrones of the great mogul and was
brought from Delhi, ! don't know. But
it is certainly the most costly ornament
that the eye of man can look upon. L
inspected it most carefully. 1t is entire
ly of silver, a great camp bed structure,
but modelled in lovely designs 1t is in
crusted from end to end and from top
to bottom with diamonds. At the back is
a star of brilliants that makes you blink.

could keep on writing about the daz-
zling beauties of the throne of the king
of kings, but 1 never could get beyond
declaring it to be a superb jewel. Some
people have valued it at G5,000,000. Its
real value is between G2,C00,0OO and
GS,OO0,000
But, though the peacock throne is the
magnum opus of the Persian crown jew
els. it by no means extinguishes the mag
nificence of the other treasures. Who

POSTOFFICE
Postal arrangements are excellent The
main postoffice is of course at Ontario on
the Southern Pacific railroad, the seconds
at North Ontario while at the head of Eu-
cid avenue there is q third named San An

Ontario has many advantages, situated,
as it is, at the base of the Sierra Madre
mountains. Stretching down into the val
ley nine or ten miles ii offers q choice
of elevation ranging from nine hundred
to twenty-five hundred feet above sea level.
On Ontario's main thoroughfare, Euclid
avenue, is a six mile bicycle track straight
and well graded, reaching from the town
TO the foothills. Coasting from the head
of the avenue down a grade of nearly $50
| feet TO the mile is an amusement much
appreciated by Ontario's wheelmen.

| trio street railway six miles in length. and
has also a good electric lighting system
| There are two banks in Ontario, the

and both have carried on business salts

An estimate based on recent school CEN
sus gives the population of this place as
nearly 5000. Immediately to the east of
Ontario lies the tiourishint; settlement of
Cucamonga, and adjoining the town on the
south is the great Chino ranch, with its
thousands of acres of beet fields and
thriving settlement.
The western division of San Bernardino
county has increased rapidly in population
during the past few years, and the terri
tory covered by Ontario, Chino and Cuca-
monga sustains a population of nearly six
thousand people.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
McCullum's Theatre.

AS nearly all the seats are already sold
for the balance of this week, it is not
necessary to dwell upon the beauties of
Mr.. McCullum's production of "Ala.
bama' at the Peaks Island theatre. There
will be only four more weeks of this
summer season. Next week VIM. Gil.
lette's comedy 'The Private Secretary"
will be presented. This will be followed
by Friends, !" another of Edwin Milton
Rolye's successful plays. Then a new
four-act comedy will have it's first pro-
duction on any stage, at this theatre.
For the last week Of the season, that de-
lightful comedy "Turned Up" will in
all probability be the attraction. Mr..
McCullum then goes to St. Louis to take
charge of the Grand Opera house for the
winter.

are very entertaining and in the planta-
ton scenes which they depict the audience
is simply delighted.
The entertainment is we'll worth the

doubtless be largely attended.

few state productions that never grows

last night was Il most competent one. 1t
was headed by Enroll dunbar who ap
peaied in the role of Mephisto which Nor
rison was wont to enact with such con-
summate skill. Mr.. Dunbaf's conception
of the role Is not unlike that of Morri-
sons and is IA clever piece of acting. The
Marguerite of Miss Oileen Bertclle was
most delicate and very well received
by the audience.
Inc scenic embellishments of the drama
were very fine. Fausts laboratory, the
summit of the Brocken, the cottage ami
garden of Marguerite and the Apotheosis
on which the curtain is finally rung dowl,
were splendid manifestations of stage
craft Faust" will he repeated this and

years. There is no attempt at plot. What
