one hundred twenty miles. That city
is finely situated, has good harbor,
and a population of 10000 people.
Redlands is sixty miles east Of Los
Angeles and in the center of the orange
district. If there is any city about here
that is situated in more beautiful and
picturesque location we shall be glad
to see 1t. Our host owns two orange
groves and the yard of his city residence
has more than twenty trees from some
of which we could pick theft without
leaving the front porch. In the valley
were orange trees laden with golden
fruit on the mountains were forest
trees decorated with the beautiful
snow" On New Years Day we at
tended the annual Rose Tournament
at Pasadena. The autos and carriages
were finely decorated with flowers and
they presented grand parade for the
many thousand people in attendance.
AS preliminary, Aviator Rogers flew
over the city several times dropping
flowers upon the multitude.
Reference to Mr.. Rogers calls to mind
the fact that when he left the Atlantic
coast for a trip across the continent in
his flying machine, the wife of
this writer followed him throughout
the journey by reading the daily reports;
and she was much greived when on
November ~, while flying the last lap
from Pasadena to this city he had an ac-
cident at Compston, ten miles from here
which broke one of his legs and laid him
up for repairs. Though still on crutches
he finished the journey two weeks after
our arrival, and we had the pleasure of
seeing him alight on the Beach where
his machine was baptized in the waters
of the Pacific. This reminds as that
the international Aviation Meet" is
now being held at Dominguez onlyl five
miles from here. Sunday a man was
Killed by an automobile, after the days !,
ptogram was over, and yesterday young
Page one Of the aviators was killed by
jumping Fifty feet after he had lost con.
tfpl Of his machine. We expect to go
ont to the killing" tomorrow And by
tie way, the one who is attracting the
most attention is the lady aviator who
isfnone other than Blanche Scott who
stopped IN Audubon two years ago when
driving an Overland car in her overland
trip across the country to the Pacific
coast: She is now one of the profes-
SIGNALS and is reported as doing some
fine stunts with her flying machine.
1--WE have met quite number of peo-
pie whom we knew at Usage and Tip
ton. ~ We have not yet called on the
Audubon contingent except Mr. I. rP.
Baker who is In business in Los Angeles
The census here easily accounts for the
loss of population in Iowa. When the
Methodist preacher in his sermon last
Sunday referred to ''You people from
Iowa, a broad grin spread over the
large audience. Many have come to
stay and others to escape the cold of
winter; and though they enjoy it here
they are ready to join with the winter
poet who wrote in part as follows
Away back Yonder the wintery winds
are chill,
In winding sheet of snow lies the
valley and the hill;
The patient cattle huddle in the shelter
from the storm,
And the folks are all housed in round
the fire keeping warm;
Its hard time they're having, and it
sets a man to ponder
How glad he ought to be that he's not
back yonder. e >f'
But can't help knowing as far away I
That there's other kind Of joy, and its;
way back Yonder." SIX
