Editor Worthingtonz nzAsdsvancse:ss.-,,
They say that the winter is past
and the spring has come, and they
appeal to the almanac for the truth
of their assertion. Probably it is so;
but the only sign we have seen of
winter is slight trace of white frost
once or twice, and a thin coating of
snow on the mountains for few days.
But the verbenas, geraniums, roses,
and lilies have fatty contradicted the
almanac, and kept right on blossom
ing regardless of the time of year.
It has been rather new experience
for us to see in January and Febru-
ary rose bushes covering the whole
front of a two-story house, and just
loaded with white, yellow, pink, and
red roses. And then think of seeing
banks of Gala lilies several rods in
length (the banks I mean, not the ILL.,
ies) fairly groaning under a weight of
white blossoms, and not the small,
pinched, homegrown, stove-warmed
blossoms either, but some of them as
large as your two hands. I have
counted in a Sunday morning service
between hundred and Fifty and two
hundred Gala blossoms arranged
around the pulpit, and it was was not
Easter either.
How does the "Land of fruits and
flowers" with us physically' Well,
let facts answer this question. When
we left Colorado last September, Mrs
Mrs. Merrill tipped the scales at just
eighty-six pounds. The rest of her
physically speaking, was left in Color
ado, Seven months in California has
brought her weight up to Ill pounds
a gain of twenty five pounds. My own
lowest weight in Colorado was 133
pounds; it is now 1858 pound gained
in flesh by two persons in little over
a year, makes a yer good recommenda.
ton for a country, doest it not, unless
you consider flesh in the Bible sense
of the world the flesh and the devil.
We think that one great factor in
this showing has been the fruit. We
used to wish that we might be filled
up on white grapes, peaches and
oranges. Well, we have been filled,
and filled, ,l6nd kept full. No reason
why we should not be filed up when
a dimes worth of lucious white grapes
would be all that the whole family
could eat in all day; and when great
yellow peaches by the bushel would
come in even without. the, asking
And now for about five months We
have been more than revelling in or
anges. o, we can afford it all right
I went down to the packing house
one Gay with a large basket and had
/ it filled with oranges that for immedi
use are just az. good as those that arr
| packed and shipped. When I cam,
home I was q little curious to Sc,
how many I had obtained for m,

money. l counted them and found
just eight dozen, for which I had paid
the extravagant sum of fifteen cents.
They are just about twenty cents a
bushel. How would you like to ex-
change bushel of corn for a bushel
of oranges? Don't you think any
body ought to "laugh and grow fat,"
with such an abundance of fruits and
flowers?
But you are not obliged to endure
such things even in California, unless
you choose to. A recent trip of mine
has proved that. About an hours
railroad ride will take one out of the
San Bernardino Valley, one of the
richest fruit sections of the state, over
the San Gabriel range of mountains,
into what is called the desert" And
that is an appropriate name for it too.
n J. trees, 10 flowers, no vegetation;
just bleak, barren, waste of sand,
gravel and rocks. A man told me
that he drove from one place "a. an.
other five miles distant, and when he
returned in about two hours, he got
off the road and went clear out of his
way, because the track was complete
obliterated by the drifting sand. But
even this barren section has it's use
for in the hills and mountains there
are mines of all kinds, gold, silver
copper, iron, etc. It is said that San
Bernardino County; contains within
its borders greater variety of ores
than any similar section in the United
States, if not in the world. On this
trip visited the mines of the Pacific
Coast Borax Co, mines that control
the borax market of the world. The
output of these mines is from two tc
tour carloads day of the ore. and
this is wo. tn about two thousand dol
lars "A car load; so that the annual
output of the mine is something ovel
two million dollars, The ore is car.
ried by rail to Galveston, Texas, where
it is loaded on schooners' and taken
to the refineries in New Jersey, and
from there carried all over the world.
But I wouldn't advise you to choose
tho "desert" as permanent home; al
least you better try it for one summe,
before settling permanently. One
day while I was there there the mer.
curry stood at los in the shade; and
they tell me that it goes up to 125 OF
100 during the summer, for something
like hundred miles I believe on the
Santa Fe railroad they have no watel
except what is carried on the cars, fol
there are regular water trains run
every day. You will not not be sur:
prised when I tell you that in The
mining towns in such a dry conntry as
that the principal business is the
saloon business. They will assure
you that they must have whisky
there, that water is altogether too ex.
pensive, too much of a luxury.
In closing I will simply give you
this word of advice; when you take
your trip to California, don't stop in
the 'desert," but buy your ticket right
through to the ocean.
