A flock of sheep was purchased on the basis of so much n pound. The sheep were run onto scales out of doors and weighed. Upon delivery the buyer found that the sheep were very much underweight. He had paid for several hundred pounds more than he received and put in a claim for the missing sheep. Investigation developed that when the sheep were weighed a heavy snow was falling and each sheep curried a coverlet of snow. The purchaser had bought both sheep and snow by the pound. Of course, the snow was gone when the sheep were scores delivered.

Here In a series of canyons but little removed from a desertlike section grow scores of magnificent Washington palms tall, graceful, picturesque and centuries old, undoubtedly, the only native palms In all California, at well as a number of species of Interesting and unusual cacti the entire ensemble forming a botanical collection both unusual and extraordinary. These native palms are scattered along the banks of a tortuous littlo stream which flows through the canyon and clustered around It In groves where It emerges from the hills. The scene Is both surprising and romantic. It Is likewise magnificent because almost directly overhead Mount San Jacinto rears Its lofty head. In one direction the canyon appears to be closed by a great wall of colored rock. Righting about face the view leads out onto the desert beyond. Nearby may be seen other palms, larger perhaps, older too, possibly, which have been burned and scarred through enforced participation In certain Indian ceremonies having to do with the burning of the "skirts" while still on the trees. Many of these unusual and trees have been cut down by rrlous people and carried away for numerous uses. As proposed, there are 1,600 acres In the reservation.
