Although the climate nf San Bernardino 
is warm in summer it is by no means un¬ 
pleasant. The extreme dryness of the 
atmosphere prevent* injury from the tem¬ 
perature and prostration from the sun’s

is delighfully mild.

The mountains in the vicinity of Sun 
Bernardino abound in picturesque scenery. 
Mt. San Bernardino, the highest peak in 
Southern California (11,001) ft ), stand* just 
at the head of the valley. The cafions of 
the majestic mountain range which guards 
the valley are favorite summer resorts for 
pleasure seekers. Camping parties from 
nil portions of the State visit the San Ber¬ 
nardino mountains both for healilt and 
pleasure.

The business blocks, private residences 
and public buildings of San Bernardino 
are very creditable and speak well for the 
enterprise of the people. Several hand¬
