WARMER WEATHER COMING

degrees during the night. That point
however, was registered only in tn,
western part of the district All frui
in that section was frozen, while il
all other parts, the frostless belt, :
came through untouched.
The lowest temperature in that sec.
tion was 32 degree, which point wa.
reached at 1880 this morning The
loss in the western part was caused ny
the wind stopping shortly after mid
night. Had the wind continued the
groves would have been saved. In the
Villa Park district, farther east amons
the foothills, the frost did not reach
even the tender lemon shoots or veg
etables.
AZUSA, Jan. S.-Smudge pots in
this district were lighted at 80 when
the temperature fell to &c degrees and
continued at that point until early this
morning, when the mercury fell to q
degrees. Despite the efforts Of the
ranchers to save their orchards and
other crops, much damage was suf
fered, the extent of which will not be
known until later

In the face Of this disheartening stu
alton the fruit growers, worn out by
the 48 hours battle against an unpre-
cedented visitation Of frost, received
another warning TO get out the smudg-
ing pots again last night and as a con-
sequence they are in listless frame OF
mind. With the warning the weather
bureau said the crest Of The cold wave

According to growers, however, a

Was Colder Here
Mercury this morning took every
body by surprise by dropping two de
grees below the record of yesterday
morning, making temperature of %
at the Press office and going to lower
points in exposed places in the valley.
, From what can be learned. it is be-
lieved that orange and lemon trees
throughout the valley. aside from
nursery stock and year or two year old
trees. are not seriously injured, and
as the fruit has been picked the dam
age to the orange trees is not great.
In fact. many persons are calling at
tention to the fact that. in spite OF
the severity Of the cold here, it is a
fact that the temperature in the valley
has not fallen quite so low as in most
Of the citrus fruit districts Of the state.
The temperature has been so low as
TO bring discomfort to the thin
bloOded natives" and there has been
a degree of actual suffering. for COM
paratively few houses are built with
the idea of keeping out severe cold and
the people find a great contrast with
the temperature to which they are ac-
customed.
The announcement, therefore, that
a warmer wave is moving in this di-
rection comes with delight to every
body, though the first evidence OF its
advent will probably not come before
tomorrow.
Reports from the citrus fruit dis
tricts are rather inclined to increase
the severity Of the loss sustained than
to diminish it, though it will be weeks
before the extent Of the loss can be
measured, as the less injured fruit, un-
der favorable climatic conditions from
this time on, will first lose in weight
and then recover normal conditions
when the sap begins to flow in the
covery is ascertained it cannot be told
how badly the fruit has been damaged.

Mercury recorded, 80 here today and

RIVERSIDE. Jan. s.-Estimates OF
losses from the cold are impossible at
this time, say citrus experts.
In former years, when severe frOsts |
have occurred early in the season,
much fruit has been saved. When the
fruit thaws gradually and cold weather

warm spell the oranges hold on we'll |

what the Orchardists are hoping for

ing was resorted to again last night |
