THRO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Grand Junction Call Aug lWetook the Shore railroad from SanFrancisco to Los Angeles and madethe run of 475 miles In 11 hours andsaw one of the finest and most pro-

ductive¬

valleys In that wonderfulstate of great and glorious thingswhen looked at in a materialistic lightFor the first 40 miles it seemed as ifwe were never out of sight of thesuburbs of San Francisco After thegreat earthquake and fire in that citythree years ago people were compell-

ed

¬

to look elsewhere for homes andfarsighted real estate men saw theiropportunity and took up lands alongthe Southern Pacific railroad for thesepurposes and are still at the business 1

because during the past year businesscontinued brisk on account of the I

very high rents In the cityIn the stretch of country referred to

we passed Pala Alto the home of thefamous Stanford University with Itsmillions of endowments 51 milessouth of San Francisco we enter SanJose one of the most famous fruitdistricts of the state where about ev ¬

cry variety of fruit grown in Califor ¬

nia is grown and the trees still bend-

Ingi under their rich ripe fruitageThe culture of prunes Is a great In ¬

dustry here and for miles south wereto be seen fruit packing campers whomove along the fruit producing sec-

tions

¬

as the fruit ripens for marketand they pick and prepare It for ship¬

merit Great canning establishmentsare also seen at Intervals

When you look at the forests of

fruit trees your vonder grows as towhat disposition can be made of itduring the season but it finds a mar ¬

ket the world over especially In can ¬

ned form and none better to be hadanywhere

Morgan hill is a great fruit sectionand In this beautiful valley is the Im ¬

mense stock range of Messrs LuxMiller with their tens of thousands ofhead of stock roaming over the mil-

lion

¬

of acres of foot hills and moun-

tain¬

I lands lying on either side of thevalley These men are among the pi-

oneer¬

ranchers of the state and their1 homeor headquarters farm is in the

tvalley and the houses and stables usedby them create quite a village Theygrow on the home farm which com ¬

prises thousands of acres barley andalfalfa for their stock conducting anImmense dairy In connection withtheir stockbusiness

Here In a measure fruit farmingceases and everything in the valley for

Mnore than a hundred miles is barleyand alfalfa and at the depots you seeImmense grain warehouses several

I hundred feet long and half as widewhere the threshed and baled barleyIs stored for shipment The fieldswere full of boilers and teams of six

vto 18 horses and mules were drawing-the product to market The remarkwas general that the crop was a littleshort this season but to have seen the

fr immense and numerous stacks of bar ¬

ley In the fields a casual observer anda novice to the state thought therewas a great plenty

Japs and Mexicans are the laborers-inI these fields

t

At Kings City 164 miles south ofSan Francisco is the home of the

I

King Bros ranch which In extent and I

vastness is similar to that of Messrs I

Lux Miller 216 mllei south is lo ¬

cated the renowned Paso Robles HotSprings a cure for every bodily illand thousands flock to this place for

1

reliefAt San Luis Obispo we struck the

S

seashore and from thence on we skirtthe waters of the Pacific to Los An ¬

geles with little to relieve the monot ¬

ony of the miles of mountain rangebut here and there cattle ranges thoJust over this range of and moun-

tthins fertile valleys bask in the genialsunshine and produce under the magic I

touch of Irrigation immense crops offruit barley and alfalfa As we nearLos Angeles we pass Santa Barbara

Y a city of 12000 people Ventura andOxnard where Is located the biggest

a sugar mill on Ute Pacific coast forwhich tens of thousands of acres o f-

I 4

lands are devoted to the growing ofthe Soccarine beet

In most of this territory we had as-

a traveling companion Mr M G Carra commercial salesman from SanFrancisco who was taking his vaca-tion

¬

and as he had traveled over sev-eral

¬

hundred miles of this trip for ISyears he made a most interesting andinstructive companion

We spent several days at Los Angues the guest of our nephew Mr GE Bittinger and his family As MrBittinger was taking his vacation heplaced at our disposal his splendid au ¬

tomobile and his services and we sawC the city and country for 20 miles
