We left there and cattle to Ontario,
a fine town named by two men who
carte here some years ago from Ont-
ario, Canada. They were doctors by
the name of Racey, •11 is a beautiful
place now. There are a number of peo-
ple from Clinton, Ont., here, Arm-
strong's, 'Castles' Joys' and others, in
fact, it is a real Canadian city. We
stayed there for two weeks. and then
cause to Upland. 1t seemed to suit us
better here than anywhere we had
struck as yet. This place is 1000 feet
higher than San Diego. 1f it is a misty
day we get two hours more sunshine
than they. do. This is quite a noted
place, and has been for some time. It
is near the "Red Hills" about three
quarters of a•niile from our place, where
at one time there were valuable gold
diggings and some are looking for it
yet. It has not been our luck to' find
any yet, when we do we will let you
know.
We are near the mountains and were
up to their last Sunday. The tops have
been covered with scow for over a
month, About half a mile from our
house is a road which the Spaniards
travelled. About a mile and a quarter
east, still hangs one of their bells which
they used to ring when they called the
people to prayers, but it rings no more
for that purpose. There old road is
now a splendid boulevard' which is
practically alive with cars night and
day. One of our neighbors counted in
30 minutes, 283 cars and sometimes
there are more than that. Along this
road many fierce battles were fought
between the Indians and the Spaniards.
There are a. great many Mexicans
here and 1 don't know what the Amer-
icans would .do without diem for they
occasion. rhe cooling -of -age anniver-
sary was conceded by all to have been
one of the most interesting events in
the history of the association. The fol-
lowing are the officers for 1921: Presi,
.dsyit, Mr, I'. T. W. Hodgson; Vice -
President, Mrs. R. 0, King; Chaplain,
Rev, J. A. Robinson;' Secreary, Mr. E.
Floody; Financial Secretary, Miss Grace

of water for them. They do all the hard
and dirty work. No white man likes
to work with them, At a show they
sit by themselves; They are despised
for everything bet work,
There 's so much I would like to
tell you about this place, i have picked
my lemons for the second time since we
came here.
I must close bow for 'this time and
