J. b. Perkett Tells of Famous Snow
Storm in California

John B. Perkett, of the 1nterna-
tional Harvester Co., has returned
from points in California, where he
enjoyed a two months vacation. Mrs.
Perkett and Miss Huldah Winsted,
members of the faculty Of the Minot
Normal school, who are taking spe-
cial work in the southern branch Of
the University of California, at Los
Angeles, will return to Minot about
March 25. Mrs. Perkett's mother,
Mrs. Cotton, is with them.
Mr.. Perkett is delighted with Cali
fornia. The party spent some time
in San Diego where they visited DR..
E. A. Crokat, former Minot physician,
and with F. f. Graves and family.
Mr.. Graves, former Minot real es-
tate man, is engaged in similar bust
ness in San Diego. He lives on a
nine acre tract out from the city,
keeps many chickens and has a beau
tiful home. His three sons are as
sociated in business with him.
Mr.. Perkett says that living is
somewhat cheaper in California. Rents
are quite high, apartments being Sc
cured at from $50 to $65 per month
for three rooms. There is no coal
bill. Milk and groceries cost about
the same as in Minot and clothing is
cheaper. A family with an income
of around $4,000 a month can 60 to
California and live very comfortably
by investing in suburban home OF an
acre or two, where one can raise a
good garden, chickens, keep a COW,
and plant a few orange, lemon and
will bear in three years. One going

ture cheap as one can always find a
business opportunity, as the Califor-
mans are restless and do not stick
to one business long. Second hand
autos sell very cheap. He heard
Of two good looking Fords selling for
$1,000. He believes it would almost
pay one desiring car to go to Cali
fornia, invest in one and drive the
machine home.
Mr.. Perkett was in Los Angeles at
the time of the cold spell when the
hills were covered with several feet
Of snow. The thermometer register
ed 10 degrees below freezing and
great damage was done to the oranges
on the trees, many Of them being
frozen solid. Some. of this damage
was averted by building smudges. in
the groves. Thousands of motorists
were caught in the mountains and
suffered great misery before rescue
parties could reach them the next day.
It was necessary for members OF the
rescue party to use snow shoes in
many places. At one place 200 of
those stranded huddled together to-
keep from freezing to death and a
North Dakota blizzard at its worst
could not have been worse. Califor-
mans as usual claim that never be-
fore has the climate shown off so
before the winter tourists.
Mr.. Perkett attended the North Da-
kota picnic at Los Angeles on Feb.
4, which was attended by 1000 North
Dakotans. ~
