RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, April 9.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Members of the board Of
supervisors are we'll posted and their
conclusions regarding damage by frost
can be depended on as reliable. Chair
man Shaver of San Jacinto says that
he does not think that the apricots have
been injured in the San Jacinto valley to
such an extent that the trees will not
have all they can well bear. The almonds
are injured considerably, but peaches,
figs, pruneS and plums are not injured.
Supervisor Compton of Corona says that
nothing was hurt in that locality, not
even the almonds Supervisor Thomp-
son of Murrieta says that in his locality
ice formed half inch thick and that
all the apricots in bloom are killed, but
he thinks that the buds which are now
blossoming out will produce fruit and IN
such quantities as to make fair crop.
Peaches, pears and prunes are not in
jured. Supervisor Edmiston, who rep
resents the lower portion of Riverside
county, says he has made careful ex-
animation and he is of the opinion that
there will be a fair crop of apricots; that
there will be a big crop of peaches and
plums. This settles the question that
Riverside county will have good decid-
uous fruit crop if there should be NJ
other cause than frost to blight it.
According to the reports made to the

making a total expense account for the
month of s6O1 1928. AT the time of vot-
ing the bonds it was the understanding
that the $40,0 900 was for the establish
ment of an electric light plant, while the
city only owns the distributing system
and pays the Redlands company $500
per month for the current.

Failing to convince the Santa Fe COM

geles instead of $1.4O as at present, the
proprietor of the Azusa Valley pharm-
acy has purchased a large number Of
round trip tickets from Pasadena to Los
Angeles and is now offering them for
sale at 20 cents, thus making the round
trip rates from this place $1.10, or .
cents cheaper than the rate he asked
from the railroad company. This enter
prising side play is exciting great deal
of local interest.
