Former Californian Finds That

and Conditions.

The fact that there has been hardly
any frost thus far this season, has
caused much comment from new
comers and they have some trouble
in believing that this is the winter

One OF the results will be that an
experiment of much Importance to
be tried by A. NJ. Cherry. on his
place, six miles above Merlin, in the
Jump-off Joe country. He is having
good success with his fruit growing

frostless, thermal belt, some 1900 feet
above sea level. The soil seems very
well adapted for the growing of citrus
fruits. 1t has a limetsone and por-
phyry formation, which Is thought
to be exceptionally desirable for the
productions of that description.
Mr.. Cherry at one time resided In

the growing Of oranges and he con-
fidently expects to be able to grow
the golden spheres in this climate.

Up to the very completion of the
building there was a mystery about it
that grew as the building grew. The
artisans had simply followed the
blueBrlnts, and those plans did not
state to what use the edlfice would
be put. The contractor knew no more
than what the blue-prints told him.
The architect was unknown. When
the building was completed it proved
to be one story in height circular in
form. Windowless, but Of chaste beau
tY II stood apart just without the
city limits on an acre Of walled ground.
Not far from it we're other handsome
structures. for several art and music
clubs. acting in harmony while land
prices we're not yet exorbltant, had
erected their halls in the neighborhood
in anticipation Of the city's growth.
No lettering appeared on the edi.
fee and no date, nor any visible sign
or figure that offered a clue to what
use the building would or might be
applied.
When It was completed and the last
artihcer bad taken his leave, a gentle
man carefully inspected the interior Of
the structure, then locked its hand
some doors. and with one backward
prophetic look Of sorrow, went his
way, and the building stood untenant-
ed and unentered, In mysterious ST.
lence and beauty Neither life nor
death passed through It's doors: and
the curious wondered in vain.
II was an evening in June, a year
later, when this gentleman who had
been the last to leave the building re-
turned. He unlocked and opened the
heavy bronze doors, and one BY one,
perhaps three or four minutes apart,
II men followed him into the pre-
cincts OF the hall. Each bore in his
hand case of different shape and
dimensions, and moved in silence, as
toward some solemn rite
These Il men were seated in a
body at the upper end Of the building,
distinguishable by no light save the
glow cast by one rose-colored chan
delier suspended high above. and the
