Climate

Granada had but two foggy days during
1908. And during the cold spell in San Fran
cisco, the week before Christmas when every
one suffered from the extreme cold, the eli
mate at Granada was perfectly lovely and so
balmy that men and women and even the little
children enjoyed the daily swim in the surf.
When the hot summer days come to the people
of the interior valleys Granada is delightfully."-
pleasant never too hot, but always balmy
and salubrious, tempered by its nearness to
San Francisco's cool summer weather and
protected from the trade winds by the sur
rounding hills.
Granada climate is very equable, not vary
ing 10 degrees during any summer day, and
for this reason will attract the people who
live in the hot valleys of California and in the
hot summer states of Nevada, Utah, Arizona,
New Mexico, Montana and Idaho-these peo-
pie will spend their summers in Granada.

beautiful Burnham city, destined to become famous

Granada convenient to residents, but not to

it was a marvelously ingenious design for the
creation and development of a city-entirely
different from anything ever thought of before.
Granada is today the only purely Burnham
city in the world
Can you appreciate what it means to plan
a city for years to come, so that each and every
part will present symmetrical, harmonious
arrangement to be source of pride and enjoy
ment to its residents forever?

BIG SHOWS
IN THESOUTH

Ell Paso, Texas, March 12-The
heaviest fall of snow in the history
of southern Arizona was recorded yes

fell at Bisbee and Tombstone, where
snow is seldom seen. The showing
continues in New Mexico and the
Rock Island is still in trouble.
The snowfall still continues here
and is the heaviest of the winter by
several inches. Last night was the

so. The only damage SO far as could
be learned is in a temporary delay in
traffic, principally on the auto route,
and to the few sheep breeders who
have already started lambing. The
damage Is very light compared with
the immense amount of good that the
snow will do.
A pleasant feature of the snow is
that there was very little wind with

The coolest point reached this morn

port, nineteen above zero. Instead of
damaging fruit, the present cold is
just enough to hold back the apples

it will be safe for them to put out
their blossoms. The early varieties
of peaches are the only species that

Reports from the north indicate
that the storm is general in eastern

Roswell and eastern New Mexico on
Thursday night, the downfall conttnu-
ing practically all of Friday and reach
ing a total precipitation in Roswell of
about six inches. According to scien-
tific formula for calculating such
things, a precipitation of six inches of
snow means six-tenths of an inch of
water. Coming in the form of snow,
the moisture slowly melts and sinks
into the ground without much loss,
and thus a half inch of snow water
does more good than twice that
amount of rain.
