Claremont, Cali, May 10.
Hon. d. M. Harris,
Mo. Valley, Iowa.
Dear Friend: Here | am in
this land of balmy spring, beau
tiful groves and fragrant flow
ers, with the health giving sea
breeze to give life and pleasure
to all. | have been here for the
past week. ] like this little
college town, nestled so close
up to the foot hills of the Sierra
Madre mountains, almost mid
way between the coast line of
the Pacific and the barrier
range of the Colorado Desert.
1t is located on the main line of
the Santa Fe railroad and also
easily accessible TO the Southern
Pacific and Salt Lake lines, both
of which go through Panona,
only four miles distant. This
town has been built only about
twelve years. Even today the
wildness presses close up to its
northern and eastern borders,
and one of the chief attractions
of the place, to many, is that in
five minutes walk one can be
out in this wildness of nature;
while on the other side of the
town the orange groves and
ranches are the order, then only
three miles away to the north
begin the foot hills that can
never be made commonplace
by cultivation. Then there are
canyons that wind and twist
through wooded valleys, while
the mountains rise in tiers to
the towering crest of San Anto-
nio, (Old Baldy) 10000 feet
above the town, yet so near that
its snow-capped summit can be
reached in a days excursion.
This close proximity to the
mountain affords such pleasant
walks and drives, with camping
places, gives a distinctive charm
to Claremont, and affords a
prospect so varied that the eye
never grows weary.
The orchard covered valley
with rolling hills touched with
green on the far horizon, while
to the left in the distance are
the twin peaks of San Bernadi-
no and San Jacinto, the senti-
nels of the pass which opens on
the desert, and of which | have
written you before; and then to
the right the shoulders of the
coast range descend to the plain
in blue and purple ranks.
There is no place on the
coast of Southern California
free from fog | think, at least
have never found or heard of
one, but Claremont, by reason

of its peculiar position, enjoys
an unusual degree of exemption
from fog. The town lies high
on the edge of the valley, at an
elevation of 1900 feet high
CT than any of its neighhors,
and the ground slopes gently
away, east, west and south.
| am told that all through the
summer the grateful sea breeze
blows every day, while in Win
ter the frost seldom comes to
the orchards so near the foot
hills. 1t is really a very pretty
little town and one that will
certainly move ahead, being a
college town, it is full of activ-
ity, and though but a small town
as yet, with population under
a thousand, the number of stu
dents. with men and women of
scholarly attainments, results in
entertainments, literary, music
al, and social, such asfew small
towns enjoy. The people here
are largely from New England,
and | have found them very
pleasant indeed.
Iexpect to return to Pasadena
in a few days, but | like it here
best, only now | must be getting
homeward, and shall start for
dear old Iowa next week, but
whether | shall go straight on
home or stop a short time in

will let you know.
