ABOUT THE CLIMATE
The official record of weather obser-
vations shows that for u years the
frosty mornings have averaged three
in November, six in December. seven
in January. four in February. three in
March. and one in April: balance of the
year free from frost. Put into prac-
teal terms this means that there is
never night when a blanket on the
bed is not warned and that roses, cal
las, geraniums and heliotrope thrive
and bloom in the open air the year
round Rising in these mountains and
rushing to the sea Is a succession of
small streams, which, besides furnish
ing electric power and zoe linear miles
of trout fishing, add a. charm to the
landscape which can be fully appreci-
ated only by those who have visited the
arid and dusty regions where the bless
ing of abundant water is denied
The main thoroughfares OF Santa
Cruz are macadamized, and there are Il
miles of concrete and bituminous side
walks and street crossings on which
pedestrians can at all times go forth
dry shod. The beach and the cliff are
accessible, interesting and entertaining
in all varieties of wind and weather.
There are few days in an average
winter not enjoyable for outdoor exer-
cises and sports, and days are very
rare indeed when a walk in the sun
shine is not a possibility at some hour
Indoors the board of trade rooms and
the free library OF $4,000 volumes, with
its reading room and museum, extend

on cliff and beach enable spectators
in all weathers to view in comfort the
mounting and breaking of the mighty
waves and listen to the music Of their
roar as they dash in cataracts of snowy
foam against the cliffs.
THE EsTHETIC OUTLOOK
The man with leisure finds here the
physical conditions which contribute
most toward bodily comfort and health,
and here is spread continually before
him landscape which affords an
esthetic outlook to nourish and invig-
crate the mind. There are in this
neighborhood more days in the year
