To WHOM IT MAY CoXCERN : 



I have been acquainted with Mr. D wight Whiting of El 

 Toro, Orange County, California, for about twelve years, and can 

 vouch for his character and high standing in this community. I 

 have also known the property owned by him in the Rancho 

 Canada do Los Alisos for twenty-five years. A portion of the 

 lot numbered One of the subdivision of the above-named Ranche, 

 which lot contains 558 acres, has been farmed by Mr. Whiting for 

 four or five years, about 120 acres being planted with fruit trees, 

 and his success as a horticulturist has been a subject of general 

 remark in the county. The quality of the soil is excellent, and is 

 especially adapted to the growth of all kinds of deciduous fruits. 

 An important line of railway runs through the property, which is 

 located within about eight miles of the ocean, the climate being as 

 healthful and pleasant as the most favourably located section of 

 Southern California.
