ie ali fruit country behind, but for
thirty miles or more in any direction,
fine beet fields were passed, and now
lots of fine fields of beans. Some peo-
pie are still sowing. The barley crop
IS very light. Some alfalfa is grown.
Large crews of men and teams are
working on the auto roads which shows
that the tourist crop is the main thing

san Diego has many fine houses. 1t
is a city of about ninety thousand and
is surely cutting quite figure at the
present time. 1t is about one hundred
thirty five miles south of Los Angeles
and is very old town. History re-
cords the time when the principal in-
dustry was cattle raising At that
time sailing vessels left Boston with
Merchandise of all kinds and went a
round Cape Horn, and traded in
Southern California, for hides, tallow,
and horns. 1t often took a year to
get a full boat load back to Boston.
San Diego had her full share Of this
trade, as well as San Pedro and San
Francisco. In early days ships an
chored out and everything was carried
in small boats to the shores.
The city is situated almost entirely
on plateau and gives one a fine view
of the ocean. We went to the exposi-
ton this morning and had spent very
good day though the crowd was small
do not think the exposition at all
to blame, many of the buildings are
fine. Living expenses are exceedingly
reasonable, when one takes into con-
sideration the fact that at the present
time the whole state of California is
taxed to its utmost capacity in an eff
fort to care for the many thousands
of hungry sightseers.
