One of the heaviest fogs ever experienced here encompassed the entire county on last Tuesday night. It was just such a fog as would recall fond memories of 'ome to a Londoner. If it had been of a pale yellow color instead of a dull white, it would have passed muster as a very well attempted American imitation of a London fog.

DAYS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century A New Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 1, 1904 Tim Carroll's evergreen nurseries never presented a more pleasing appearance than at the present time when acres upon acres of palms and other ornamental trees greet the eye, all in an advanced state of cultivation and showing the care and attention bestowed upon them by the owner. Mr. Carroll's nurseries are the largest on the coast, and he has this week shipped a number of carloads of trees to Los Angeles, Pasadena, Ocean Park and other points. The nurseries contain twelve different kind of gum trees, as well as acacias palms, umbrella and other ornamental trees. Those of our radius who wish to look upon a lovely spot should make it a point to visit these nurseries and feast their eyes upon the beauties of tree growth to be seen there. The Deciduous Fruit association loaded its last car of walnuts for the season at Loara on Nov. 23rd. The car contained 405 sacks weighing 44,543 pounds, worth $4687.18. The total shipments of the season were 206 tons, worth about $45,000. The season was very satisfactory, and the demand for walnuts good. Orders have been received already for several cars of next year's crop, which speaks well for the manner in which the walnuts have been graded and bleached. Late reports of the walnut yield place the crop at from 750 to 800 cars throughout southern California. Of this Orange county's yield will not go much above 250 cars. Complete figures of shipments are not at hand, although the entire crop is about shipped, but the yield will fall away below previous conservative estimates.

They now own 300 acres, including several of the finest blocks of Navel oranges in the Riverside district. In addition they pack and ship the fruit of a number of other growers, having in all somewhere near 900 acres. They shipped 450 cars last season and estimate 300 to 350 cars for the lighter 1929-30 crop season. With the addition during the past two seasons of the National Orange Company and L. V. W. Brown Estate, and now McDermont and Wall, the Riverside-Arlington-Heights Fruit Exchange, which is the Sunkist district organization, has made rapid growth and has added a large amount of very fine fruit to its shipments. Charles T. Palne, one of the old-timers of the Redlands district, has about 75 carloads in a full crop year from the family groves. This fruit will now be marketed through the Exchange for the first time. Mr. Palne having joined the Redlands-Highlands Fruit Exchange at the beginning of the new season: The Desert Grapefruit Co., has recently been formed at Calexico to serve the grapefruit growers in that district.

Skinner and son, Horace, were returning from Los Angeles on Sunday with a new touring car when they were struck by the Southern Pacific train at the crossing near Clearwater. The car was completely demolished. The Skinners narrowly escaped instant death. Mr. Skinner was thrown forty feet, but was only slightly injured about the hips. Horace Skinner leaped from the touring car just before the local struck it and thus saved his life. The rear seat was thrown hundreds of feet away. Both men say the locomotive bell was not ringing, and that the engineer failed to blow the whistle before he reached the crossing, which cannot be seen until the track is reached on account of willows along the road. After the accident the train stopped and backed to the crossing. The conductor asked if the men wanted to go back to the city, and being informed they did not, he pulled out after learning their names. Skinner secured a rig and they returned to their home on Orangethorpe avenue later in the evening. The new machine was worth $1000 and can not be repaired. H. A.
