California Reunion
of Dakota Friends

To the Valley City Times-Record:
On the eighth day of January, 1914,
jolly bunch of Valley City people,
wintering at Long Beach, California,
happily responded to an invitation re-
ceived from Bird Runyon, former
resident of Valley City, to join them
in January picnic to be given at his
ranch in Pomona.
Boarding the vanished cars at the
Pacific Electric Station at 1880 a. m.
before the sun had began to peek over
the eastern horizon, the following peo-
pie were comfortably seated for de-
lightful trip: Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Ma
son, Mr.. and Mrs. Christensen, Mr..
! and Mrs. Walter Coop, son James and
Miss Marjorie, Mr.. and Mrs. J. ]. AL
dahl and Mrs. D. w. Clark and Eliza
beth. These constituted our party I'M
til we arrived at Los Angeles where
we were Joined by Mr. and Mrs. Mat
Runyon.
Our ride took us through countless
groves of oranges, lemons and grape
fruit interspersed with vast acres of
roses. There were also occasional
walnut groves and berry patches here
and there. The soil appeared to be
rich with vegetation and life.
After passing through such delight
full country we arrived at Ramona at
1870 a. M, and, after walk Of about
two blocks, we arrived with splen'
did appetite at the house, which is en-.
tirely submerged in a grove of oranges
trees.
Mr.. Runyon has a beautiful home
built in the bungalow style and attrac-
lively furnished within and without.
The yard is filled with orange trees
and countless varieties Of flowers.
Great vines of pink and red roses
climb almost to the top Of the house
splitting their fragrance as an eternal
welcome to all. To the rear of the
house are chickens, horses, cows, etc.
We pronounced him a typical farmer.
Ones first desire upon entering such
an earthly paradise is to forever wan
der in and out among those orange
trees, picking as much Of the fruit as
the heart and appetite desired, and
breathing in the fragrance Of the ever
blooming roses.
Entering the house, we found them
all at home awaiting our arrival. Mr..
and Mrs. Runyon look comparatively
the same but Vernon has grown to be
quite young man. Claude also looks
the same if not better.
With ravenous appetites we partook
of the sumptuous repast in true cafe
terra style leaving little for the birds
to consume.
AS the sun began to make known his
presence in the sky between broken
patches of clouds, we adjourned to the
exterior once more where we stood be-
fore the camera and smiled. Bedecked
with oranges and rosebuds, Mrs. D.
w. Clark took the cake"
About $3.50 a party Of us walked
about a mile and half over to a large
packing house where we were &C.

Modern Dry Kiln
Being Erected

The Toledo Lumber company is
clearing a place in the south end of
their mill yard this morning max
ing room for the erection of a
modern up to date dry kiln. The
building to be erected will be Is
feet 10 inches wide by 1O4 feet
long and will have loading plat
forms at each end, the platform at
one end being 80 feet in length and
the other 20 feet. There will be
four tracks in the kiln and the cars
will be loaded on the platform at
the end then run into the kiln.
The kiln will hold $4,000 feet Of
lumber and will have an output of
$4,000, feet per day. The kiln will
be operated continuously as the
lumber can be put in and taken out
without turning the steam
off. $4,000 feet of inch pipe will
be used inside the kiln for heating
purposes.
Jack Link desinged the kiln and
prepared the plans for same and
G. I. Sailing will have charge of
the construction work.
The old dry kiln will be torn
down to make room for this one.
With the new kiln in operation
it will not be necessary to send
to outside mills for good dry finish
ing lumber.
