Los Angeles district extending a hundred miles north and that or more south and southeast is the great orange and lemon country of California. Here is mild and perpetual summer weather, with a rainfall of ten to fifteen inches annually. All arable lands must be irrigated here. To the southeast in California and east of the mountains m the imperial valley, ft is intensely hot during certain parts of the year and the rainfall is but a few inches annually and unless brought in by Irrigation will remain a desert. The higher altitudes have many good ranches and owing to the elevation and means of irrigation, the lands.are brought into use for the pur-

pose best adapted for them by nature. Besides from an agricultural point of view there are immense mining Industries throughout the state. Also the oH Industry is one of great financial value. Reclaiming the desert lands by Irrigation in the southwest is an undertaking of much significance to the development of this part of the country. Respectfully. J. F. SNOW. SALEM AND CALVARY. Salem.
