Feby 5th. Took the Radial Car this a m. at 1040 to San Bernardino about 11 miles from here the Fare was 47 cents each return. we passed through colton on the way. near Colton there were quite a lot of Olives grown, but mostly all the way from here to San Bernardino was oranges. we had our dinner in the Park. took a snap of the Soldiers monument. they have a big Auditorium here erected as a memorian to the soldiers killed in the big war. we saw inside. I guess it would hold 3000 people we walked around some of the main streets and down to the Santa Fe station & Harvey house. it is quite a nice place. population about 25,000 we left at 420 and arrived at Riverside just before 5 oclock.
