FROM CALIFORNIA l Interesting Letter from I Redlands from Harry Wahly Received BY HIS COUSIN Only a Step from Orange | Grove to Sage Brush and Desert. William Steuler has received the i following letter from a cousin, Hen .ry Walilev. written from Redlands. Cal.: Redlands. Cal Jan. 13. 1917. Dear Cousin: —This writing finds me toward the setting sun from you 1 left home Dec. 31st and go to San Bernardino. Cal., Jan. 6. 1 did <>t stop over at many places. The weather was cold and disagreeable at ( most places of interest. Soon after I I got home from Indiana I had a ' siege of rheumatism for a time, it I was hard for me to get about, but got some better before 1 came cut here. 1 thought the warm climate here and the exercise would help me. ( And it has done so; I am nearly free from it now. Will go to some of the hot springs here and take some treatment. There is one ten miles fr< m here where the water comes out of rock; temperature. 202 degrees. San Bernardino is the first town iin California on the Santa Fe rail road after crossing the great desc; t ; It is a very long and tiresome ride in that sandy and dried-up country. It * seems longer than it really is. there being nothing of interest to see booking at sand, cactus and sage brush gets very distressing. One surety enjoys seeing a beautH.tl place like this when one gets to it after seeing so much barren country. Os all the nice scenery in Califor nia I think this vicinity beats them all. and it is located right up aganist the desert. Some places here nc w it is only a step from a fine orange . grove to sage brush and barren la'd These beauty spots have all be m made by irrigation and cultivtion. To give you an idea of what can be 1 doge: This town (Redlandsl is 36 years old. Before that time it was a barren desert. Now the popular- n • is 13,®00. Property valuation. IF 4 was *28.999.000. It has 200 miles of ■ improved roads. 40 miles of cement walk; 145 miles of cement and stone curbs and gutters; no mosquitoes; a flyless town; fourteen churches; ~v-erage erage temperature for winter. 53 degrees. The average for fifteen years has been 84 per cent fair days; 14 per cent cloudy; 2 per cent rai y i days. The city limits or corporate , lines are six ffiiles square. That accounts for so much improved roads i and walks. It is hard to tell where city and country lines are. This town ships about 5,000 car loads of oranges, grape fruit, olives • snd other fruit annually; mostly oranges. The finest flavored oranges in this vicinity, climate and soil being well adapted for that purpose. This year the crop is exceptionally good. The trees are so full one wonders how they can stand the burden,ot weight. It has be n cooler than usual, and a great many trees are hurt by frost Please find enclosed picture cards of scenes about j here.' I wish you could all be here ,to see them in reality. I am sure' they would be interesting to you, es- ■ pecially so at this time of year. It is quite a contrast between the snow I covered fields of the east. There seems to be no limit to interesting ! scenery here and if one seen-’ does not suit'you can soon see a different one, ami one would sure he hard to suit if he did not admire any of them. The high (12.000 feet! snow covered mountain peaks are always in plain view. Some of them are forty miles away. But one from the east not a<-eustemi <1 to distances here would guess the distance about four miles. Then there are the fruit orI chards and beautiful flowers and roses' and green shrubbery and trees. Fine houses, like post card pictures I enclosed, lots of them just like picItures. only different effect. Fine [roads and beautiful driveways to rest idences; fine water that tomes from ; snow melting on mountains. From here it is about seventy miles to the] Pacific o< ean. , • With best wishes to all. I remain I Tour cousin. HARRY WAHLY. ' P. S’. -My address is Los Angeles, 1 California. General Delivery—ll. W. | n~ — MONEY TO LOAN. .
