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.
