lungs. Where the atmosphere is exceedingly 
dry and pure, as in Arizona and some parts of 
Colorado, the stomach suffers for lack of good, 
fresh, appetizing, wholesome food, for sus¬ 
tenance drawn from the questionable re¬ 
sources of tin cans, is a poor thing. But all 
along the Pacific coast from the northern 
boundary of the United States to thejsouthern, 
we found the food excellent and much cheaper 
than in the East. San Bernardinists claim 
that their orauges ai’e far finer than those of 
Los Angeles, and that the soil and location 
are even superior to those at Riverside. The 
tendency is to small farms—one woman said 
that their place of 1(H) acres had dwindled 
to 30, and they now thought 10 quite enough. 
It was considered well to protect the young 
orange groves from possible frosts, and we 
saw some under the temporary roofing 
erected for such purpose. Some trees 
were girdled with tar, as a protec¬ 
tion from the scale bug. I thought San 
Bernardino an ill-kempt, little town—6,000 
population—and far inferior in attractiveness 
to Pasadena. But the people said they were 
“going to fix up and beautify things” and at¬ 
tend to their drainage and muddy streets, the 
blessed season in which the rain falls not yet 
being over. The town is well shaded with 
cottonwod, pepper, cypress and eucalyptus. 
The fig grows well here. Oleander trees were 
in bloom, autl Giant of Battle Roses were not¬ 
able. Of course, there were some pretty cot¬ 
tages and good business blocks, while mud 
baths near the town and the mountain back 
of it with a great arrowhead .'print on it giv¬ 
ing it its name, are things of unique interest. 
A good deal of barley used to be raised on the 
ranches, but now there is not much besides or¬ 
chards and vineyards. On our ride back to 
Colton we drove through orchards of peach 
trees. 
A groceryman at Colton with whom 
we talked in a saunter about the as yet unin¬ 
teresting town, growled greatly about Cali¬ 
fornia and declared that it was no fit place for 
a poor man—that Washington and Oregon 
were far better! A good many invalids go 
into business and of course they haven’t the 
push and energy of a live, healthy Yankee. 
Water, which is such an important element in 
this region, is obtained largely from artesian 
wells. The discontented grocer averred that 
people in California live off visitors 'and new¬ 
comers. Although we were in the great 
orange belt we found the oranges in the mar¬ 
kets neither good uor cheap—the usual diffi¬ 
culty in getting “cologne at Cologne.” From 
Colton we went a few miles southward by rail 
to Riverside, where the finest and choicest 
oranges are produced in Southern California 
and which, as a “colony” is a magnificent suc¬ 
cess for reasous which will follow in my next 
letter. The population is from three to four 
thousand, and it is the largest incorporated 
city in the United States—tho incorporated 
area covering 52 square miles—and from eight 
to ten thousand acres are now in a state of high 
cultivation.

MARY WAGER-FISHER, 
Sierra Madre Villa; u Lucky" Baldwin's 
ranch; Rose's winery ; other “ colonies" 
about Los Angeles; the San Bernardino 
country; Southern California for con¬ 
sumptives; California a bad country for a 
poor man; Riverside, 
From Pasadena we made a tournee in a 
carriage for several miles through the adja¬ 
cent country, which lay spread out as far as 
the eye could reach, like a garden. Our first 
halt was at the Sierra Madre Villa, which lies 
on the mountain side, just under the Sierra 
Madre Mountains, which are a part of the 
San Bernardino Rauge. This villa is a noted 
resort for invalids, and the outlook from its 
long, sunward piazzas is altogether enchant¬ 
ing. It is in the midst of oranges, figs, limes, 
almonds,loquats, palms, pepper trees and roses. 
In Pasadena I saw for the til'st time what I 
afterwards saw iu profusion—the Japan or 
Chinese Umbrella-tree iu bloom, blossoms re¬ 
sembling the Purple Lilac. 
From the villa we drove through what is fa¬ 
miliarly called “ Lucky" Baldwin’s ranch. 
There are 50,000 aeres in this farm, magnifi¬ 
cently irrigated with flowing water, and the 
whole of it beautiful as the Garden of Eden- 
Baldwin made a pile of money in speculation 
in San Francisco,and he has the reputation of 
being as despicable in moral character as he is 
rich in money. There are 600 acres in one vine¬ 
yard on this ranch, we were told, and we rode 
for miles in an avenue bordered with palms and 
pepper trees—the latter a breezy, willowy tree. 
His conntry house here was a pretty novelty, 
not large, but aesthetic, painted white with 
“trimmings” of bright red. Iu an angle of a 
piazza was a great mirror, reaching from floor 
to ceiling, which, as you approached the 
house from the street, reflected and duplicated 
the beautiful grounds, producing a charming 
Illusion. 
Rose’s Winery was another place which we 
included hi the drive—a winery which pro¬ 
duced one half million gallons of wine last 
year, of seven varieties. The buildings are of 
brick and very substantial in appearance. 
The vines in the vineyards hereabouts are not 
cut so low as in the Santa Rosa Valley, and 
as they were coming into leaf at that time, 
they presented a fine appearance. Rose is 
one of the thrifty, guzzling Germans who 
have contrived to “gobble up” sornudi of this 
fair land. Upon our return to Pasadena we 
passed the old mission church of San Gabriel, 
and the drive, all iu all, was of exceptional 
charm. 
For several miles along the road leading 
eastw'ard from Los Angeles through the San 
Gabriel Valley there are other colony towns of 
great attractiveness, the spirit of emulation 
teuding to the highest development, uud in¬ 
deed, from a money standpoint, I know of no¬ 
thing more profitable than the tasteful orna- 
mention of “ real estate,” for beauty has its 
value as well as utility, and the two readily 
harmonize if the beauty is genuiue. One of 
these towns is called Pomona ami another is 
Ontario. The genesis of these places seems 
to be the purchase of a large tract of land by 
a company or corporation who lay out upon 
it a towu, cut the land tip into lots, and see to 
it that their purchasers are first-class men— 
neither slovens nor laggards. They adver¬ 
tise its advantages and purposes, and often 
they lie roundly, tool As a rule, I do not 
think that the advertisements of Western 
lunds by any party or parties concerned in 
them, can be relied upon in the smallest de¬ 
gree. Tho ease with which people lie in print- 
el's’ ink is altogether remarkable. 
During the first fifteen miles east of Los 
Angeles, we saw much uncultivated land aud 
weeds in plenty. Roads iu California are 
generally good, and along many of them eu¬ 
calyptus trees have been planted. All the 
way to Colton, an important railway station, 
the road lies in full view of the glorious San 
Bernardino Mountains, an amethystical rauge 
still peaked with snow, and below, the smil¬ 
ing gardens. 
From Colton we went up to San Bernardino 
for a day and a night, a distance of four miles 
by rail, but wo returned by carnage. All of 
this country lying at. tho foot of the San Ber- 
nardiuo mountains is level anil presents very 
much the same aspect, when the cultivation is 
similar. San Bernardino, as a health resort, 
claims to he more healthful than Los Angeles 
on account of its greater freedom from damp¬ 
ness and fogs. In all these Southern Cali¬ 
fornia towns the cough of the consumptive is 
heard, and the general verdict seems to be 
that the mountains, aud the mountains alone, 
furnish tho really, beneficial air for ailing
