racial character. combining many diverse
ele ments, bringing together under one flag

distinctive American type; and second,

lage of Glendora. There is a diversity
of sights and scenes in the foothills
hereabout not found in every portion of
the state, adding to life a charm that is
refreshing. This gives to almost every
locality a distinguishing characteristic
which marks ii apart from every other.
At Azusa ii is the nearby ruggedness
of the mountains and hills, with beauti-
full vista southwark. to which we may
turn from the picturesque but barren
elevations skirting the north to contem-
plate the beauties and prospective ver-
dure and distant landscape too far to
revel in its details Covina presents a
wealth of fruis and a diversity of seem
cry that make grand panorama, with a
tropical foreground in strange contrast
with the SHOWS upon the hoary noun
tains. The landscape beauties of Glen
dora are totally unlike those of the other
localities mentioned, but are of such
charming order that it is pleasure to
dwell upon the territory which the eye can
comprehend from almost any point of
view.
In situation Glendora is but an epitome
of the whole valley. The configuration
of the adjacent hills is duplicated on a
larger scale around the upper portion
of the San Gabriel valley. But it fur
nishes an element of unity and COM
pactness, a variety ofdetail and home
likeness which can never be realized on
the boundless plains, with their vague
ness only equaled by that of the ocean,
and only partially experienced in a few
other localities, whose mountains stand
out as the great feature of the land
scape. Glendora has none of the noun
famous characteristics in its soil or
atmosphere. The lands are as rich as any
to be found. 1t is in the Glendora up
lands that mildness of climate pre-
walls, which is truly remarkable. Here

strong vehicles for making trips to the
various mountain summer resorts, par
ticularly to the great canyon of the San
Gabriel,up which magnificent gorge they
take the tourist, campers and health
seekers in perfect safety and comfor,.
At the end of the wagon road their con-
veyances connect with saddle and pack
trains run by Fellows Bros, which con-
vey parties to the camps, hotels and to
the dizzy heights above as far as the
desire of climbing prompts one to go.
In speaking of the healthfulness of the
climate of the San Gabriel valley, Mr.
Conrad A. Smith, pioneer of the valley,
said that he came to this section sixteen
years ago; that he was now S4 years of
ago, but had never been sick since ar
irving in the valley and that the climate
was so health-giving that he felt young
er now than when he came here and ex-
pected to live to cast his vote for w. j.
Bryan in 1900 and then to see him re-
elected in 1904.
