D. Moe.) San Diego, Calif., Feb., 23, 1922. There are enough northern and east ern tourists here in San Diego this winter to bring about a marked change in the climate of this country. It started raining early Monday morning and kept it up for three days. Today it looks a little like clearing ud, but clouds still linger in the ekies. While the rain is very welcome here, it sort of interferes with outings for tourists and makes the dirt roads very muddy. The rain was moderate and did nut come in cloudbursts, as it usually does, so has soaked into the ground. It was fully as cold as the rains in Hood Hiver, although it carne across the Mexican mountains from the south. 1 have put in the time window shop ping around town, visiting the mar kets, making a few acquaintances among the other time killers, and dis cussing great questions of state with the learned bench warmers in the plaza. The organ recitals in Balboa Bark, which are a regular daily occur rence, were postponed on account of rain, ana also inree nays last week on account of moving pictures being taken near the treat outdoor criran. One day while we had the car parked there we found a slip left there bv E. W. Birge. Was sorry to have missed him. Hood Hiver apples are on sale at nearly every fruit stand and grocery store in San Diego, mostly fancy and C-grade Newtowns now. One grocer said the green Newtowns were hard to sell, also small apples. The large size red apples sell mostly at two pounds for 25 cents, whether extra francv or C-grade; Newtowns mostly at 10 cents a pound. Most of the Hood Hiver ap ples are in good shape, but I saw a lew Doxes of C grade that were no better than cookers. It would seem to the casual observer that most of the people here in busi ness are either running a restaurant, fruit stand, grocery store or renting rooms and apartments to tourists. San Diego is an all year round resort, with winter the dullest season. The beach es are practically deserted, but rill up in the summer. Residents of the hot desert sections east of here flock to the coast during the hot summer SAMSON TRACTOR COMPLETE with fenders, governor, power take off pulley $735. 00 HEIGHTS GARAGE J. F. VOLSTORFF months. San Diego has probably the best all-year climate in the United States. Coming south, one notices a change to warmer south of the Sieki yous. Another change is noted after crossing the mountains south of Bak ersfield, and again another change just before reaching San Diego. In sum mer the climate is warm but not hot, seldom reaching 90 degrees. It is an ideal place for those needing a rest in a mild climate, and many elderly peo ple have moved here from all parts of the country to spend their declining years. We had a nice visit with Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Orant, who are living in the same apartment house with Mr. and Mrs. J. C Borter. They have just bought a small grocery store to keep them busy and are well pleased with it. Nearly every one here lives out of paper sacks. Goods are put up in small packages for this trade, and it is mostly a cash and carry business. Some of the stores sell three grades, at diiferent prices, of strictly fresh eggs. The extra fancy are graded to large sizes and one color, the fancy somewhat mixed, while the choice are a sort of jumble pack, with a few showing the marks where the old hen failed to wipe her feet. The latest fad in apartments is the bungalow court. On one lot three small bungalows on each side, about the size of our ranch bunk houses, face a central walk, while at the rear one larger stretches across, facing the court and street. At the extreme end of the lot, on the alley, is a garage with room tor six cars. t,ach bunira low consists of a living room, with dis appearing bed, dining room, kitchen ette and bath room. These bungalows rent from $00 to $100 a month, partly or fully furnished. No cellar or yard, no heating stove except gas. Some of these courts are quite elaborate and look very neat when nicely arranged and fitted up. Los Angeles has manv of these places, especially in the Hol lywood district. Children are not wanted in most of these places or in apartments. While tourists till up a large part of the apartments, yet many of the young married couples living here permanently seem to pre fer this mode of living. The wife has little to do, does not want the care and responsibility of raising a family, and when the husband comes home after the early closing of store or other busi ness, an early supper, or dining at the restaurant, follows, and then away in the automobile. There is little thought of the future, and while the job lasts life is enjoyed to the utmost. When it is gone, a couple of suit cases easily takes care of the worldly goods and it is easy to move. The acquisition of Lower California by the United States, which is thought to be a strong possibility by many here, would make San Diego a city of great importance. With a landlocked harbor equal to any on the Pacific coast, it would be the outfitting port to Mexico tte came as Seattle is to Alaska. JIGGS AND MAGGIE HERE NEXT WEEK What child of the city, or for that matter, what adult has not followed the daily adventures of Father and Maggie, creations of the fertile and humorous brain of George McManus, nationally known cartoonist. These celebrities will be here in person at the Kialto theatre next Wednesday night, when Manager Kolstad will pre sent "Bringing Up Father in Wall Street" The vehicle is a musical review that is playing all the large coast cities. Because next Wednesday was a con venient date, the show will play here before its presentation at the Heilig theatre, Bortland, where it. is billed for three days, March 16, 17 and IX. Bress reports from the show at other places indicate that it is clean and wholesome although teeming with many humorous incidents and present ing chorus work of appealing beautv I he show is expected to draw a full house. Manager Kolstad states that tickets will be sold at popular prices. Seats will sell for 60 cents to $1.50. The many lovers of good wholesome comedy and catchy music will be de lighted to learn of the popular musical surprise, whicn comes direct from its long engagement at the Manhattan Opera House, New York, the home of grand opera, and the Metropolitan Opera House, Fhiladelphia, where it taxed the capacities of the two huge playhouses, this season s ottering n said to be a riot of song, laughter catchy music, smart costumes, pretty girls and a scenic production rarely equalled by traveling organizations. Charlie Chaplin said : "J had many happy moments follow ing the experiences of Mr. Jiggs in that clever and most amusing comedy, 'Bringing Up Father. ' " It is one of those captivating, snap yp musical comedy offerings which is bound to move the most profound stoic to outbursts of laughter nd applause.

DOCK, PORTLAND Passenger Fare, $1.00 Main 8063 With mail orders for tickets pouring in trom all over the northwest, the engagement of Mary Garden and the World-famous Chicago Opera Company of 311 persons at the Public Auditor ium in Portland, March 22 to 25, is an assured success, according to word that has gone out from the offices at the Auditorium. Already practically every city and town in the Northwest is represented in the mail order list. The Chicago company closed its an nual engagement in New York rebru ury 2b and started immediately on its annual tour, traveling in three special passenger trains ue luxe and one spe ciL train of 17 baggage cars of scen ery, costumes, etc. The western sea son will b(i opened at Portland March 22. The onlv other cities on the coast to be visited by the ;company are San rrsncuoo and l.os Angeles. The Portland contract calls for the entire Chicago company and all of its equipment and five ot the company greatest operas, Monna Vanna, l.ohen grin (in English), Romeo and Juliet Thais and Aida. The company will come with 45 world stars including Mary Garden, Lucien Muratore, Edith Mason, Kosa Kaisa, Georges Haklanolf. Forrest Lamont. Margery Maxwell and many other world stars; an orchestra of 7t5 pieces ; a chorus of 70, ballet of .'ID, 76 stair" hands and a great group of other help. The Portland engagement is to cost $2,5(0 which amount has been guaran teed by 40 Portland business men 1 hey hope to make it the greatest musical and operatic event the north west has had, as well as a great sue cess from an attendance standpoint. Ford Helps Farmer Henry Ford says : "The reason why 1 believe the tractor has a great fu ture ahead of it is because 1 believe that it will increase happiness, and make life more worth the living for more people throughout the world than any other device which ha9 ever been given to mankind." Mr. Ford says that the farmer ha been at a disadvantage.considering the fact that mining and manufacturing have generally come to be done almost entirely by machinery, while farm work has been largely confined to phy sical labor. This resume of the farm ing situation is to the point. Long hours and hard physical labor on the farm have been responsible for the influx to the city. The tractor will place the profession of the farmer on an equitable basis with that of other lines of endeavor. 20 Men on Bridge Work A crew of 20 men is engaged in ex cavations at Cascade Ixjcks for the concrete piers of a steel suspension bridge to span the Columbia there on the site of the mythical Bridge of the Gods. It is anticipated that the piers on the Oregon side of the river will be completed before summer. DU PONT CHEMICAL ENGINEERS have developed a new dynamite, "Pacific Stumping"- and it will save you a lot of money. It will blow out J g more stumps per dollar blast Yl more boulders per dollar plant y2 mre trees per dollar. Standard stumping powders are packed 85 sticks to the case. For 50 cents more, you can buy a case containing 130 sticks of Pacific Stumping each stick of which will do equal work with any other stumping powder. This means that Pacific Stumping costs you lYi cents (or 30) less per stick. This new dynamite makes stump blasting in the Northwest a far less expensive operation and will undoubtedly make pos sible a great increase in land-clearing activities in this district. Come in the next time you are near our store and let us estimate the cost of your blasting work. We can show you the way to cut your dynamite costi nearly one-half.
