"Tiuly miraculous seemed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place," writes
J. 0. R. Hooper, Woodford. Tenn., "she
was so wasted by coughingup pus from
her lungs. Doctors declared her end so
nsar that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and is a healthy woman today."

SANTA ANA I
Santa Ana, Cal, Jan, 16. '1906
Editor Observer; Dear Sir
Allow me space in your valuable paper
to make mention a few days items that
may be of interest to some of your many
readers.
The writer landed here Dec. 27th and
found a cold wave on. It was five de
grees below freezing for several mornings
colder, (so old timers say) then it has
been for twenty years.
One, two and three year old orange
tress suffered by having the young growth
killed and in some places the bark was
bursted loose from the body of the tree
But the oranges do not appear to be
damaged very much, as the orange foliate
ie a great protector from frost Tender
vegetables were also injured while
some were killed.
It makes the writer's heart ache to see
the damage done to the flower kingdom.
Mr. Editor, by consulting your map
you will And Santa Ana almost due south
of La Grande and something over fifteen
hundred miles between the two pjints I y
rail. Santa Ana is a flourishing city ol
seven thousand inhabitants.- Although
a dry town her. citizens are very friend y.
The surrounding country is more level
than the Grande Ronde Valley.
Santa Ana is blest with two steam
railroads. The Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe, and one electric car line, all
direct from Los Angeles distant 33 miles
Newport beach is nine miles south west
of this city and is a fine beach for bath
ing and fishing.
Orange three miles north east of Santa
Ana is a nice looking burg of one thous
and population.
Anahiem is a German town eight miles
northwest It has a population of two
thousand people. It is noted for
its fine wines and brandies.
It has turned warm and the last four
days there has been one and a half inches
of rainfall, and the country will soon
have a new coat of foliage.
