The quake was reported extremely severe by residents in the southwest section of the city. Stronger Along Coast. Coast line communities, including Long Beach, Hermosa Beach and Santa Monica, felt the tremor more than did the island towns of Pasa dena and Glendale. At Long Beach considerable excitment was caused as it was the first quake of any con sequence that could be recalled there. Employes of the Long Beach Press-Telegram were getting out the day's first edition when the temblor came, and there was a rush for exits. .The shock lasted about 15 seconds. The center of the tremor appear ed to be in Sante Fe Springs.

In regard to crops, will say there is a better general prospect in the vicinity of Union than we saw any where on the trip. While we saw at different places better fields of both corn and wheat, with harvest ing under good headway in some sections, there were also a great many fields of corn that had not been introduced to the plow yet and there is a large acreage that is still toi wet to be in any crops yet. Still, every one you meet seems to be satisfied with the situation and the outlook. Here at the Springs we meet peo ple from many states some here in search of health and others bent on pleasure, all of them greeting you with a smile. It is estimated that there is a floating transient population of between three and four thousand people here most of the time. We are located at the "Kansas" Modern Rooms, 211 , Thompson avenue.
