BACK FROM VISIT
TO CALIFORNIA


A. P. Manning, of the Salem A.
stract and Land company, and Mrs.
Manning, have returned from San Die
go, where they have been enjoying
the sunny climate of the state. Mr..
Manning states that during his stay
of 30 days in that state that there
was but two days on which rain fell,
and then it was only light showers.
He is well tanned from the effects of
the sun and wind, and feels fine on ac-
count Of the recreation. He says that
for roads no place can beat California
as the state spent hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars for the roads, and
they are perfect. One can travel for
miles on paved streets past farms
and the pavements are kept so clean
that they glisten in the suns rays.
In some places there are separate
roads for teams and automobiles, and
the country is full of autos.
The country around San Diego is
drying up from the lack of rain, the
farmers are without feed for their
stock, and are driving them away for
better pasture.
