The photograph sent you shows East San Bernardino Valley, the home of many bee-keepers, and the mountains to the north and north-east, the natural habitat of the sage which some consider the producer ot the very choicest nectar. The whole is so good a view, and so characteristic of what Southern Califor- nia is at its best, that it seems just the kind sought by the Review. Of course, not knowing the requirements of a photo- graph for satisfactory reproduction, I cannot determine as to its usefulness for reappearance in print.

The flume for carrying the water also shows between the grove and reservoir. The reservoir is one of many another like it hereabouts, and belongs to a company of orange growers, and the water supplied by it covers many groves. Reservoir and flume and grove, together with mountain scenery, make this a truly representative view of the country.

This is Mount San Bernardino—something over 10,000 feet above the sea. But old Grayback, further to the right and not so conspicuous nor well defined, is still higher. As stated above, it is just a little this side of San Bernardino peak where the great reservoir lies—one of the great- est reservoirs for the artificial storage of water. This is Bear Valley Lake, or res- ervoir, the source of much of the water for this part of the Valley. There are many apiari
