erside County has thrown her irriga-
tion panorama open to the public and
crowds hang over the rail in front Of

San Bernardino. at the other end the
city OF Riverside, two Of the most
beautiful municipalities in the State

San Bernerdino is shown the natural
arrowhead that Is the wonder Of tour

capped destruction by drought.
