M.
McCawley,
who
have
been
on

trip
south,
ar
rived,
In
the
city
from
Vancouver
on
the
Prince
Charles
last
evening.
Mr.
and
Mrs.
McCawley,
who
were
formerly
residents
of
Prince
Ru
pert
but
are
now
living
at
Prince
George,
are
staying
over
here
until
the
next
train
east.
They
spent
two
months
holidaying
In
California,
Arizona
and
more
northerly
coast
cities.
Earlier
In
the
winter
the
weather
was
pleasant
but
winter
struck
hard
all
down
the
coast
recently.
It
was
worse
than
It
has
been
In
Prince
Rupert.
The
farthest
away
point
Mr.
and
Mrs.
McCawley
visited
was
Arizona
where
a
brother
of
Mr.
McCawley
'Ives
and
where
he
had
not
seen
-now
until
this
year,
except
on
the
mountains.
This
year,
however
they
had
deep
snow.
At
Los
Angeles
rains
were
so
.leavy
that
the
streets
were
flooded
and
It,
was
difficult
getting
around.
Jrange
groves
in
California
have
jeen
frozen
so
badly
that
the
,vhole
crop
is
a
total
loss
and
nany
of
the
trees
are
killed.
Smudges
are
kept
going
in
the
hope
af
saving
trees
but
the
crop
Is
all
gone.
Coming
northward
there
was
heavy
snow
which
blocked
the
streets
of
Seattle
and
In
Vancouver
they
were
not
much
better
off,
except
that
the
downtown
streets
had
been
cleared.
Mr.
and
Mrs.
McCawley
said
there
was
rough
weather
coming
north
from
Vancouver
with
rain
nearly
all
the
way
until
they
reached
the
north
end
of
Grenvllle
Channel
where
the
sun
burst
out
and
It
was
fine
the
rest
of
the
way
here.
