Many of the trees are still showing
the effect of their hardships last win
ter, but barring the worst to come,
there will be crop not far below
normal here and around Whittier, so
l am Informed, and doubtless through
out the orange district generally.
My Redwood friends visiting this
coast will make no mistake in stop
ping at Riverside for a few days.
They can improve every waking min
ute in walks and drives, beginning with
a hike-or auto drive-up Rubidoux
mountain, over LOO feet in altitude,
but assembled by easy grades. Here
the city and miles upon miles of
orange groves, as well as thousands
of acres of hay and grazing land are
spread out like map in the fore
ground, enclosed partly by towering
snow-crowned peaks and elsewhere
by more distant horizon line of
mountains. No attempt at descrip-
ton of mine can do justice to this
view. At the request of citizens,
Archbishop Conaty some time ago
dedicated two crosses at either of the
two main elevations on the mountain,
and bronze tablet proclaims that
William Howard Taft took part in
the dedication in 1909.
Last Easter, Dr. Henry Van Dyke
delivered the principal address at the
annual Easter celebration on this hill,
in which all Churches unite.
At the Chamber of Commerce or
hotels one can learn of scores of out
door attractions-th Magnolia avenue,
Victoria Hill and county boulevard
drives, taking in Sherman Institute,
the Carlisle and happy hunting
grounds for the younger generation
of California Indians, and other scenic
attractions "too numerous to men
ton" and too be beautiful for the or
binary reporter to describe.
Before closing, I should mention a
chance meeting at Los Angeles with
the Fred. Barnes family, including
Mrs Lyle Barnes, just arrived few
days before from Redwood Falls, in
company with Mr. and Mrs. VIM,
Neiman and child, whom | hope to
meet later. All of the party seemed
to be enjoying life. Also, our fam
lily at Whittier was favored with a
brief call from mont" Chapman,
only son of the late Squire Chap
man, about two weeks ago. Mr.. Chap
man and family are wintering at Los
Angeles, and I should not be surprised
if he became a resident of this land
of sunshine. He intimated that he
expected a visit from Mrs. j. B..
Robinson, his sister, after the latter
had finished her sojourn with her son
Howard at Montreal, and visited with
the family of her sister, Mrs. J. H.
Bowers, at Spokane, enroute to this

LA TOILETTE PLANS A COUP

Milwaukee, Dec. Ex-senator Robert
NJ. La Toilette is said to be planning
a bold coup in this state in the coming
campaign, the plans for which will be
sprung on his followers at the confer
ence which is to be held in Madison in
a few days.
It is the plan Of Senator La Toilet
tie that his followers shall come out
as the open advocates of woman stuff
rage for Wisconsin, and that the
woman suffrage question shall be
made one of the cardinal planks in
the coming La Toilette campaign in
Wisconsin.

Ask More for Carrying Malls.

Postmaster General Burleson had
a conference recently with delegs-
tion OF American railway presidents
seeking better pay for transporting
mail. President Ripley OF the Santa
Fee acted as spokesman for his AssO-
ciates, being seconded by President
Rea OF the Pennsylvania. They de-
clared that the railways now were
being underpaid an aggregate Of
100000 year for carrying the
mails. entirely aside from the extra
ordinary burden placed upon the
roads by the parcels post matter. for
which 1t was maintained. they prac-
tically were receiving nothing.
Mr.. Burleson assured the railroad
men that he would try to see to II
that they received all they were en-
titled to. He said. however. that II
would be impossible for him to do
anything In the way of readjusting
railway mail pay until the commits

500 REWARD, 500

The readers of this paper will be
pleased TO tearn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the fisease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars
for any case that ii fails to cure.
