BRUNSWICK HOTEL ever shown. in Wingham, from R. KNOX w WINOHAM LETTER NO, 19,. The ordinary California tourist will not fail to visit the orange centres, and among them, the County of Riverside and its towns come in for a share of their attention. This county is about 175 to 200 miles long by 90 miles wide, and has possibilities for supporting a population of several millions. The principal point of inter- est of course is the city of Riverside itself, which on account of its attrac- tiveness is called "The City Beauti- ful." The streets are excellent, many of then being built on the latest ap- proved plan and oiled ; in fact River- side boasts of having more miles (200) of oiled streets than any other city of its size in Southern California.. Before saying further about the city, we give a few statistics of the county, which will give some idea of the importance of the city itself as a centre :—Area of the county, 4,480,000 acres ; assessment, $53,990,000 ; irrigat- ing canals, 130 miles, costing $4,500,000 to construct ; fruit trees, over two millions ; grapes, 3,000 acres; oranges and lemons shipped, 2,305,025 boxes or over0,000 carloads yearly income from all products of county, $9,429,077. So much money from the products of the county spells prosperity to its in- habitants. The city has a bountiful supply of water and excellent transportation facilities, with electric car connec- tions, and three transcontinental rail- ways, It is a "city of Churches," and its educational facilities are of the first class, and altogether a most desirable place of residence, though in the summer, the weather might be considered warm, by an easterner, but sun -stroke is unknown, The scenery of the surrounding country is beautiful. At one point near the city, you can look ' down on twenty-two thousand acres of orange groves, re- presenting an investment of many millions ; from the same place, by lift- ing your eyes, you may see the moun- tain tops from which the everlasting snow never melts. The citizens of Riverside point with pride to Hunt- ingdon Park, 1000 feet above the val- ley. The work on the Drive to this Park cost three years labor and -$40,- 000, and at one point, a person may stand and see the road at six different altitudes below him. The Drive is four miles long, and is double, that is continuous, for you go up one way and descend another; the top of the mountain "Roubidoux" has been blast- ed off, so that about half an acre is level space for vehicles to turn. THE WINGHAM ADVANCE fact, and leas a fine site of fifty-four ecros, and was opened in 1909. dere, as in .other California cltiee, the Hoard of Trade is a goat factor in the growth of the city,and bas nearly 000 members. Redlands is a "home" city,' and its educational and religious ad- vantages with the absence of saloons, favor this aspect of the +city's life. The Woman's Club owns a building costing $35,000, with an auditorium seating 800. The Country Club has a club house, stables, golf links, tennis com'te, etc., etc. The University Club has a fine building and site vaned at $20,000. Few places of 12,000 popula- tion have better social facilities than Redlands. Fraternal societies abound and number 32 ; the Masonic Temple now being completed, cost $25,000. Redlands is known as an orange centre and the whole city gives the impression of ease, comfort and abounding prosperity. About 5,000 carloads of oranges are shipped an- nually. Here is found the only pack- ing -house in which the wrapping of the oranges in the soft tissue -paper is done by machinery. No visitor to Redlands going to Canyon. Crest P ly known as Smile park has bec beauty of crest An object of interest at Riverside is the "parent navel orange tree." From this tree and one at the head of Magnolia avenue, are descended the navel orange trees of California, that now furnish annually thirteen million boxes. Among the fine buildings of River- side are—its Carnegie Library, the famous Mission Inn, high School, Court House, Chamber of Commerce, etc. Thirty-five packing houses are required to prepare for shipment, the six thousand carloads of oranges an- nually shipped. Here too is the larg- est concrete bridge in the world, on the line of the Salt Lake R'y, over the Santa Ana river. Forty miles east of Riverside is the great Bernet dam. It lies at the base of the towering San Jacinto moun- tains, and holds a supply of water for irrigation purposes, if other supplies run short. This dam is said to be the largest piece of solid masonry in the West, and is 250 feet long, 100 feet thick and 1221 feet high, or as high as an ordinary ten, story sky -scraper. This immense reservoir is 4400 feet above the sea Ievel, and gets its sup- plies from the snows of San Jacinto mountains. Over three hundred miles of flumes are used to distribute this water. s lin under the RIJDLANDS--Ne t g shadows of the lofty peaks of Mt, Gorgonio and Mt. San Bernardino, that rise to an altitude of 12,000 feet, lies the city of Redlands. W estwatd lie the San Gabriel and Los Angeles valleys, and (as the crow fifes) the Pa- cific ocean is fifty-two miles distant. The business portion of this city lies at a height of 1350 feet, but the eas- tern part rises to 2,000 feet, by means of gentle grades en paved and wind- ing streets. The city has a popula- tion of about 12,000, and a property valnation of $27,000,000 ; there are five Banks ; two daily and two weekly newspapers. The Board of Trade has 548 members and never ceases to sound abroad the praises of the city. Redlands hag no ila.rnegle Library, but the unique building and park in which the public library is found were a gift from a loyal citizen and named after hint—The A. I. Smiley Public Library. The city hat twenty-four religlous denonilnetions, and seven- teen of these worship in their own church buildings. The • '.M,O,A. has a fine $50,000 building free of debt, with physical director, and summer camp in the 1n1outttaitt4 or by the ncran-side for the boys. The city Nigh St;rbtol cost over $100,000. The Unlveeralty of edge is an reethred wit miss ark, popular. y Heights. This me famous ford the its scenery, It is on the of a canyon, and isdeclared to e the "greatest thing of the kind in the world." It is certainly very fine, and as the tourist winds over six miles of perfect roads, or further miles of footpath, among flowering trees and shrubs, and gazes on the beautiful scenery below him and afar, he is charmed if not enchanted. President Roosevelt said—"I never imagined such a sight." • The soil and climate of this section of country will grow almost anything. Olives; apples, peaches, figs, loquats, oranges, leptons, pomelos, grapes, etc., etc., but the citrus fruits are the greatest production of this vicinity. Orange groves in bearing give returns of $300 and over per acre. Four year old groves are self-sustaining, while older" groves pay as high as 40 per cent. on the investment, Redlands has 14 packing houses, one marmalade factory, one fruit preserve house, one olive pickling establishment, and two olive oil factories. T3aard," Thr lr rommissions are high- er than In Ontario. Ono traveller said recently that before he got to the Hotel Green which adjoins the depot, three agents met i►im. The same speaker .expressed himself as glad to get back east, where he world get a good square meal, instead of so many btylieh dishes, and so much style, at $25 a day. The rapid rise of property valves and the number of real estate officers warrants the changing of the little well-known rhyme into the following, which is certainly appropri- ate in Southern California :-- Little drops of water Little grains of sand Make a mighty difference In the price of laud. Look for our final letter from this glorious summerland, on the Pacific coast, But our sketches of this pleasant land must soon cease, for the proba- bility is that one more letter will com- plete the Iist, and that will be No. 20. Possibly, before that is in type, we shall have bid farewell to sunny Cali- fornia, its beautiful scenes, its golden fruit and fragrant flowers, Perhaps many will say—"What are the possi- bilities, or the openings." There are but few, unless a man is on the spot with the cash, when the opening occurs. There are so many here, who are here for the climatic advantages, that situations are not easily secured. Fancy a climate' that since the second week of January up to date of ,pen - 'ling this (March 20) has not seen a single unpleasant day. To a person with means, this is an ideal place to live. Possibly if a man had even a few thousand dollars, he might buy an orange grove bearing and do well, or some established business. But even orange groves, if paying well are not easily or cheaply picked up, for a good ten -acre grove is worth many thousand dollars. Land sells high, as we have intimated in previous letters. Real estate agents abound and many of them have become wealthy by securing plots of land and holding un- til the constant development increased the price or warranted the subdivision of it into building lots. A $10,000 pro- perty changed hands recently, and the agent (a fellow Canadian)netted a commission of $1,000 ; a very good day's business. The same man bought seven acres some time ago for about $1,200 and recently refused $3,500 for one-half interest in it, and now holds it at $10,000; in the meantime, the fruit thereon is paying all expenses. The wonder is that/ where there are so many real estate agents, that all make a living, and that some of them become wealthy. They certainly are on the alert for business, and in Pasa- dena, they form an Association, 'known as the "Pasadena Realty Fos POULTR r NOTES. vis need green food at this sea - on of the year, and mangels or cab- bage will supply this need. Feed the little chinks ground grain and skimmed milk. Do not let the lieu lead them into wet grass. Eggs from very old hens should not be used fcr hatching purposes. Select eggs from young birds of good type, color, form and breed characteristics. If the fowls are kept confined, it is desirable to have two yards, each to be used alternately. One can be cleaned up while the other is in use and also sown to some quick growing vegetation that will provide green food when the fowls are turned. back, ZAM-BUK IN 3 ACCIDENTS. Start Somothing! There can be no continn. anee without a beginning, There can be no completion without a continuance. The only man who DOES anything is the Fran BEGINS something. It would seem that Zara -Buis, the famous healing balm we hear so high ly spoken of everywhere, is particu- larly useful in the family circle. A report sent by Mrs. E. Davey, 780 El- lice Ave., Winnipeg, will illustrate this. She says :—"My little boy, of three, while playing, fell from a high verandah to the ground, cutting his forehead badly. Instead of, calling a doctor who would undoubtly have put in a number of stitches, I bathed the wound well, and applied Zarn•Buk. The little fellow, although suffering keenly, soon had relief from his pain. in the course of three weeks by ap- plying Zam-Buk daily, the woundin his forehead was nicely healed. "Since then I have also used. Zani- Buk for a boil which came ,on my cheek and which proved very painful and looked unsightly. Zam-Buk soon drew the boil to a head and it then quickly banished it. "Another time my baby was scald- ed on her left thigh and calf of leg with boiling water. This was a severe scald and the child suffered cruelly, screaming from pain. Directly it was done I thought to use Zam-Buk, as we bad a box in the house, and spreading some on lint, I wrapped up the baby's limb. Next morning she rested mach easier and I applied a fresh bandage with Za1n-Buk,. I kept this treatment up daily and was re- warded by seeing a great improve- ment each time I dressed the wound, In a very short space of time the scalds were all nicely healed. "I cannot recommend thin wonder- ful healing preparation too highly for family use, and 1 have such great faith in its healing powers that my house is never without a box." For all skin injuries and diseases, piles, eczema, salt rheum and face sores Zam-Buk is absolutely unequal- led. 50c box at all druggists and stores, or post free from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price.

At 131 Robinson street, Hamilton, stands a. small, two•roomed shack, far back from the street, which is occu- pied by Samuel and Mrs. Garken and their six small children, who range in age from two to twelve years. All have tuberculosis. The father is in an advanced stage of -the disease. While a newspaper reporter stood in the midst of this scene a little tot of four years grasped her father's hand- kerchief and drew it from his pocket, After wiping her face with itshe re- turned it again to its place. The handkerchief was full of tubercular germs which were breathed in by the gbi. A BOY'S STRUGGLE FOR LIFE Mr, 8. J.
