Since our. last letter we have been on
the go" great deal of the time. Visit
ed the one and only Catalena island, and
it is most charming spot. The island
is distant twenty-seven miles from the
mainland and for a quiet enjoyment, for
rest of mind and exercise of body it has
few equals. 1t, is a mountainous tract
set out in the Pacific ocean, and to sec,
one must climb. But the climbing be-
comes real pleasure for the scenery is
truly grand. While here we met Mr. and
Mrs. John Root and little daughter and
Mrs. n. p Lee. They have been doing"
southern California pretty thoroughly
and like other Minnesotians are enjoying
good health and having good time. Geo.
Weaver, who will be remembered by
our older residents, is running the Bay
View hotel and is prospecting as he de-
serves

Tuttle. Here also we met Ed. Swan and
wife and real enjoyable hour was spent.
Mr.. Tuttle has delightful little cottage
home facing down broad avenue, and
surrounded by three acre grove of as
line oranges as grew on anyone's trees.
This we can vouch for as true from
generous samples poured into our haver-
sack. Both Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle are well
and are enjoying life to the full measure.
MIR. Swan is cashier of the First National
bank and is prospecting. Mrs. Swan is
physically well barring slight trouble
she has had with one of her arms. But
the member is improving and is rapidly
getting back to its normal condition. On
tario is certainly little gem of town
the prettiest of its size that we have
visited in California and is located in q
fine orange belt.

Our next point to visit was River
side. Here is charming city made up
of a most delightful class of people. Our
people remember with pleasure Frank
Strunk and his estimable wife, With
these good people we had a genuine, old
fashioned "down east" visit. Mr.. Strulnk
has built himself nice home on one of
the prettiest street in the city, and he
is prosperous to satisfying degree. We
are indebted to him for drive out to
his splendid orange grove, five miles dis
tant, and also for fine sample of
oranges and lemons picked from his trees.
Mr.. Strumk has twenty acres of trees,
and it is said that he has one of the
finest ranches in the valley.

Redlands harbored us Sunday night
and Monday was spent in visiting Smiley
Heights and other attractive points. For
the size of the town lit has about 5000
population)it is as pretty as any to
be found in California-and it has one
home belonging to multi millionaire of
Boston by the name of Burridge that
beats anything in grandeur of land
scape gardening that we have seen in
any private grounds on our travels. The
house is a spacious, Mission or Spanish
style of architecture, grand in appear
ance and affording view from its sight
ly elevation that battles description. The
wide cement walk and stairway leading
up to this mansion, bordered by pro-
fusion of flowers as varied in kinds as
they were in colors, presented picture
so real and so impressive, so far beyond
the brush of the, most profound artist
to paint, that once beheld it can never
be forgotten. The grounds contain thir-
ty-two acres, planted to orange and
lemon trees largely, but beautified with
rare plants and shrubbery and embellish-
ed with an endless variety of flowers
it is a sight worth going miles to see.

FUND OF 100000 AVAILABLE.
Government Leaves Sufferers in a
Most Tantalizing Condition and
There Is General Disgust
Over Its Methods.

tain Arthur Young. the Special Commits
sioner for the distribution Of relief to the
sufferers from the volcanic eruptions on
this island, will sail Tomorrow for Eng
land. not, however, as the result Of AIDE.
quate relief having been accomplished, but
because Of the termination Of the special
work outlined for him.
Hundreds Of persons are homeless and
suffer for want Of food and clothing. Some
are practically starving. At the same time
there is an unexpended balance in the re-
lief fund of more, than 100000. This bal
ance is sufficient to supply all the wants
and to build the necessary homes.
The Government leaves the sufferers IN
a most ~tantalizing condition. Refugees re-
fuse to emigrate. They do not wish to leave
this island. where they have tender asso-
Citations and family ties.
There has been general disgust over the
relief. The total money contributions
amount to about $4,000. The sum expended
for relief has been. therefore. only more
thar one-third of the receipts. Plenty of
clothing was sent to st. Vincent from the
United States and elsewhere, but not al
of 1t has been used in relief work.
